Mi Jacalito - Waukegan

The food was very tasty and seasoned well. The service was excellent and very friendly. I would come back again :

New to the area it’s been hard for me to find food as good as Chicago. Tried this spot over a year ago ’ I have not stopped thing about it since. The tacos were amazing!! The salsas were delicious flavorful ’ the rice was cooked to perfection. Everything was great until it was time to pay. Upon walking up to the register I was greeted by roaches crawling all along the area on the register, near the tip jar ’ viewed some in the kitchen which I was able to see when I approached the woman to check out, kinda felt like the roaches were charging me for the food itself the possible consumption of their dead homies. They were not intimidated at all didn’t try to hide one bit. Didn’t complain, paid the bill, tipped ’ left. Got in the car thinking how those were the best tacos I’ve had possibly in my life sad I would probably never return because the roaches. Drove past I see they have expanded, might return if they exterminated.

The food here is out of this world. Carmen was amazing, friendly with a smile. I especially love the Gorditas they are to die for.Vegetarian options: Rajas gorditasMushroom quesadilla

Great food and great price. Very personable and friendly service. I've been 3 days in a row. Highly recommend.

Disappointed and watch out for the roaches found one in the horchata lady at the restaurant acted surprised ??
