Jolly Tamale

Came to town for a visit and wanted some Mexican food.  Mom wanted Jolly Tamale so we went.  I read reviews before going so we ordered a sancho deluxe, chalupa, and the mexican apple pie with cheese.  I ate some of a chalupa and the pie.  The beans on the Chalupa have a great flavor and really made the chalupa for me.  Because of the reviews we ordered their hot taco sauce on the side.  It really is oddly sweet.  Not bad, just unexpected.  The pie was good too.  Our particular one could have used some more of the apple mixture and less cheese to balance it out better.  All and all, I would go back. :)

Decent cheap mexican food. Tortillas for the burrito were old el paso type, dry and thin. They have something like a Mexican pizza which was the best part of the meal. It was loaded with meat and beans, lettuce, guac, and all the good stuff. The tamales are different, but nice and meaty. Ended it all with a churro which was still a bit cold in the middle but good nonetheless.
Stopped on the way back to central il from Texas where I am spoiled by all the good true Mexican food. It was funny that there wasn't a single Mexican working in the place. Two of us ate for 16 bucks and rolled our tubby selves out!

Satisfying, but not traditional Mexican by any means. I ordered the Sancho deluxe after reading other Yelp reviews. It was pretty tasty & consisted of meat, cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, & lettuce all wrapped in a flour tortilla. The nachos were fair, kind of bland, but ok. The hot sauce has some "zing", but is not really hot. The portion sizes are good & if you drink water, you can spend around $6 for lunch.

Cash only - they don't take credit cards!

Meh, not bad, but not a mind blowing experience.
