“Had to work in Wheeling for a week and found this place not far from the office.”

Had to work in Wheeling for a week and found this place not far from the office. The free chips and salsa were great along with the different menus I tried. The meals are big enough to the point where I didn't need to eat anything else those days. Will be back next time I'm working in Wheeling.

“Stopped in because I was looking for some Mexican food.”

Stopped in because I was looking for some Mexican food. I am glad that I did! The food was delicious! The tamales were fantastic. I also had the quesadilla birria which was a delight. I couldn’t get enough of the salsas.

So happy they serve menudo on weekdays! Also tried their tacos and tamales, and everything was flavorful, and satisfying. A great spot for some authentic Mexican comfort food!

“My family is from Guerrero, this was just like the food I grew up on.”

My family is from Guerrero, this was just like the food I grew up on. So far, I've only had a quesadilla with steak and a quesabiria. The consome was flavorful, I'm used to strong bay leaf taste, I loved it. The salsa with the chips had a good spicy kick. The green and red salsas were both delicious, spicy enough to enjoy the food. I rate a solid 8 on the handmade tortilla for these quesadillas. Bf loves the coffee, I went for the Agua de jamaica. Love the cups the drinks are served in.

“Let’s rate! Restaurant Name: Lily’s Taste Restaurant Address: 17 S Wood, Prospect Heights, IL ...”

Let’s rate! Restaurant Name: Lily’s Taste Restaurant Address: 17 S Wood, Prospect Heights, IL Food: 5/5 Drinks: N/A Service: 5/5 Setting: 5/5 Pet-Friendly: No Price: $$ Notes: All I have to say is that the food was DELICIOUS 🤤 and the service so amazing. It felt like you were at mom’s or grandma’s house eating a home cooked meal. Tortillas hechas a mano with the salsa that was also from chunky and so good. We had to ask for a refill 3x’s. - Hubby & Mama Bear: Had the carne asada medium well and it was a chef’s kiss. The meat was so tender and great seasoning. - Papa Bear: Costillas de Res a la parrilla. They were so juicy and very well seasoned. - Me: Shared a plate with the Hubby bcuz I wanted empanada de res. Yes, Colombian and it was so good. Everyone raved about the chiles toreados bcuz they were seasoned and had the lime taste. Oh my god so delicious 😋 it’s definitely on top of the list to come eat when we visit El Cerrito in Desplaines.

I had the pastor tacos and pozole blanco (a delicious and savory soup). It really was one of the best meals I’ve ever tasted. I wish this place would move next door to me.

“Typical mexican restaurant located inside of a strip mall.”

Typical mexican restaurant located inside of a strip mall. Lots of seats and tables to dine inside with very clean bathrooms. Service was outstanding. I was greeted immediately upon entering and was told to choose anywhere to sit. I was then handed a menu, and I ordered a drink. While I looked over the menu, I received chips and salsa to the table. The chips were fresh, salty, tasted very corn forward, and came with a green tomatillo salsa. It was probably some of the best green salsa I have had anywhere. I ordered a handmade tortilla quesabirria (with consume) and a handmade gordita with steak. When I received both entrées, they also brought two types of salsas to the table, a red and a green sauce and they were both great! The quesabirria comes as one long taco on a plate. Almost like a quesadilla/quesabirria. The homemade tortilla was so delicious, and the quesabirria meat was very flavorful. They packed the taco with lots of meat, but it needed a little more melted cheese. I enjoyed the consume the most because it was different than other consumes I have tried. It had chickpeas, potatoes, and carrots in the broth as well. Because of that, I was able to eat most of the consume after eating the taco, almost like a soup. I didn't enjoy the gordita. It was pretty bland because the gordita was hard, almost fried, and it wasn't soft like I was expecting. The steak could have been seasoned better as well. I wouldn't order a gordita again, but if I was in the area, I would come back and try other menu items.
