Tamaleria y antojitos chepis - Mexican restaurant in Arlington Heights - 807 W Rand Rd, USA

The food is as authentic as it gets! Everything is right on. No words would give a fair explanation of the sensation to your palate. You would just have to taste and find out for yourself. I’ve traveled around broadly in Mexico, and I cook based on my true experience and memory of palate instead of recipe books. I consider myself a picky Mexican food eater as most of the Mexican food in America do not meet my standards for true Mexican cuisine, but this place! It is nothing BUT AUTHENTIC! Excellent service. Limited dine in capacity. They are all about the food!

I ordered a pork tamale with red sauce (salsa roja), chicken tamale with green sauce (salsa verde), chicken with mole Oaxaqueno, and a steak (asada) taco. If you like banana leaf wrapped tamales, you will like these tamales. Of the three tamales we ordered, we liked the mole tamale the most. There is one long table by the window.

Chepis is a gem! Their Birria Tacos are so authentic and flavorful, ask for hand made tortillas! It's a small in/out establishment, staff is really nice. We will certainly be back!

Had this place on my radar for some time now! And let me tell you..10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! The food tasted just as AMAZING as it looks! The cashier was so nice and accommodating! The best AUTHENTIC Mexican food in NW Suburbs! I love it here, and will be back!

I am so happy I found this place! We ordered burritos, chips and salsa/guacamole with a side of beans and rice. It was authentic, delicious and fresh! After two years of living in the area we have finally found a place we will keep ordering from regularly.

This place has great tamales! Wrapped in banana leaves, they are delicious!! There is a small space to eat in the restaurant so I recommend take out!

One of my favorite things to do in life is tacos! This place has set themselves apart from the competition! I had a steak and pastor taco which was absolutely tender, flavor was amazing. To top it off they make handmade tortillas! Highly recommend this place and don't skip out on grabbing a tamale too! I'd rate them 10 stars ✨ if I could!!!

Great food, Tamales are unique unlike the street tamales you find in Chicago. They are filled with alot more flavor and wrapped in a banana leaf which offers an even more unique flavor. A++ would buy from again.
