Reviews for JTAMALITO in Chicago, IL
I really love the tamales, the best I?ve ever had. But as of lately every time I decide to pull up, they?re closed. I pulled up... today, they?re closed. That?s fine since it?s stated on this page. But there was a time I pulled up on a Thursday one week andthe doors locked. Came the following day and they were still closed. Another week a random Wednesday, they were closed again.They need to update their operating hours because I?m going to ultimately stop coming period. Read more
Absolutely love picking up fresh, tasty tamales. Obsessed with the red pork and chicken and the red tamal with cheese. Chef's... kiss. Read more
Yesterday my daughter ordered some tamales from here and had them delivered to her job. She told me all about her experience... from placing the order and receiving them, she said everyone she spoke to was very helpful and patient with her and that is wasa great customer service experience. As far as flavor they are pretty good the red ones are not scipy at all but veryflavorful. The green ones are a bit spicy and very good as well as the strawberry ones which I really liked. In conclusion Idefinitely will oder from there and definitely will recommend as well. Read more
Nice little hole in the wall place on Clark. 7 bucks for two Chicago dogs, fries and a drink, lots of seating, fast, friendly... cooks, bilingual too... I would trade in 10 hyper experimental kitschy food joints for one of these places every few blocks.They're reliable, fairly-priced and you know what you're getting in terms of food quality. I'll have to try the tacos next time. Read more
These were the best tamales I've had in a very long time from a restaurant. The pork in red sauce and the chicken in green sauce... are excellent. The meat was lean and abundant and the masa was very moist. The green ones are a little spicy. Read more
The tamales were delicious so I went back yesterday to try the burrito. Everything is great! Very good customer service. Very... clean looking kitchen. Glad to have them in the neighborhood! Read more
I believe this restaurant is new, I'm only giving my feedback so they can improve on it as a business. The young lady that took... my order gave great customer service it seems as a family-owned restaurant. Tamales were delicious, they were spicy, they wereand decent size. Where my criticism comes in is on the dinners I had a taco dinner and a asada dinner which also tacos wereasada. The asada dinner cane with rice and beans. Wich is alright but no tortilla, bell peppers and onions normally that kind ofdinner has included. The taco asada dinner only came with two tacos rice and beans. The meat had a burnt bitter smell andtaste which also on the other dinner had the same flavor. The beans were much more saltier than average beans served in aMexican restaurant. Overall the tamales were the best of my entire order I would go back just for those. Read more
I ordered 13 dozen tamales for an event. The week of the event we called to confirm the pick up time since they had charged me... already for the tamales. No one ever picked up the phone, the store was closed when we showed up to pick up and we wereofficially out $350 (which was over charged ). Do not trust this place. Read more
