Tamalería Doña Amada - Waukegan

Great place to buy a very good Tamale especially Rajas tamales, which are more tasty and tasty. You really know how to meet a real taste rajas tamales my favorite tamales or they do to green salsa or red salsa tamales with pig or chicken. Love to eat my tamales with a good black coffee in the morning or anytime in a very cold day

Tamales are pretty damn good. Also had the Huevos Mexicanas good portion size and filling. Menudo was flavourful but notice it was not like the other menudos I have had with pozole... they serve it with no bread. So above all I would go again for tamales and plates but going to not order the menudo next time. Also good variety on the Mexican drinks in a bottle.

They need to practice better higiene. Was charged for my order, they started cooking it without washing hands. Was not too happy about that.

I went to get tamales around 9:15 am and they tell me : we only have green tamales , WHAT??? A tamaleros and they no have tamales, omg

Best thing about this taco was the onion. Tortilla and meat were both VERY DRY. I don’t think any cook (beginner or trained could turn al pastor meat to a black crisp, which leads me to believe the meat was pre-cooked and then re-heated : Barely any cilantro on it either. I don’t mind the stems, so at least pile on a hefty amount of scraps, please. To anyone out there, though: don’t waste your money here. I recommend buying your own raw, pre-seasoned meat at your local carnicería and make your own tacos. Cilantro is about a buck, so you can be heavy-handed at home with it:
