Isidro's Tamales Taqueria - Kankakee

The food is probably better (not great) than anywhere else I’ve had in Kankakee, but it’s too pricey. It’s definitely not worth those prices. The burritos are almost $10.60 including sales tax. That doesn’t include the 3.99% surcharge for paying with a credit card. The burritos have very little meat, and they seem smaller now. They don’t even allow dine-in anymore.

One of the best, if not the best, authentic Mexican restaurants I have been

This is my goto for veggie tacos. I haven't found another restaurant in the area that tops them.

Excellent service in terms of organization, we ordered tamales for a certain time and they were ready on time, but the truth is that the tamales had no flavor at all, you couldn't even eat them because the dough all fell apart, the red chicken ones had the least flavor, the sauce much less.The place needs a little cleaning and presentation too.

Here’s a local hack- if you want more meat than three tacos but want to pay less for the meal, order the Nachos with the meat of your choice. You will not only get more bang for your buck but also guac and addtl sauces. (Get the Guac Salsa). I recommend the Al Pastor, probably the best in the entire region (7-city wide). I would not recommend the steak as it’s mostly fat. Also, don’t eat here in-person. There is no seating and it’s a bit awkward if you do. It’s a take-out only.
