The downtown Lemont area is historical and you will even find mom and pop owned hardware and repair shops. I have passed by H & H for years, well like a decade. I never went in because I pretty much profiled the building. Today was a new day I just had to try it.
Walking into H & H the same feeling of reservations continued as I was led to my table by a very nice and sweet lady. The decor is righteously outdated but yet it really wasn't a big deal.
As soon as you open the menu you will notice both American and Mexican food is their specialty. Anything goes ranging from a hamburger, salad and full blown mexican menu and breakfast.
I dove right into the Carne a la Mexicana, beef chunks with green peppers, onions, cilantro and cheese. Served with rice, beans and the most amazing homemade chips and salsa. The complimentary chicken poblano soup was on point and tasty.
The staff is friendly, super friendly and will go out of their way to make you feel at home. I will compare eating here to a dining experience at grandma's house.
I took away 1 star because I felt there was an over abundance of cilantro on my plate and the green pepers were cut way to thin into strips (a tad pointy). A little more generous Mexican rice portion would have been lovely too.
On the real, I would visit H & H again. Just don't judge a book by its cover and wait 10 years like I did.
The food was great and very affordable! Â The chips are freshly made and Hot! Â The margaritas were great, the skirt steak was perfect, the tacos were delicious. Â The decorations are "homey" - it is like visiting your great aunt who is also a great Mexican chef!! Â Berta the owner was awesome. Â Highly recommended!!
Review Source:My family and I have been going here for close to 20 years and H&H has some of the best Mexican food in the south suburbs. Â You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu and Phil and Umberta will go out of their way to make you at home. Â The mole is to die for and their combo platters give you a little sampling of everything in-case you can't make up your mind.
The breakfast menu serves everything from huevos rancheros to your traditional breakfast staples (waffles, pancakes, omelets, etc). Â Prices are very reasonable and the decor is very old world Mexico (not Taco Bell or Chipotle).
I haven't seen much of this area and there looks to be plenty new in the area. H & H looks to be a revitalized restaurant and we went here based on directions to the wrong mexican restaurant. Front Street Grill leftovers are preferred in my opinion but H & H has decent margaritas as well as guac & chips.
It was a little expensive at $40 for 2 dinners, 2 margaritas. I'll try other food in the area before I head back here.
Oh, it was EMPTY at lunchtime.
