Mariscos La Isla Dorada - Des Plaines

Adriana is amazing! Best service and knows exactly what I ask for, she deserves to be a manger! An cause of the great service I’ll always come an tell my friends about this one

Dorilocos (Sub. Cheetos), Elote w/ everything, and cacahuatada.

My husband and I were in search of frozen yogurt when we stumbled upon La Michoacana. Upon entering, we were welcomed by a vibrant and inviting atmosphere, though we noticed there were no menus available. Instead, there were three blank screens above the service area, which I assume are usually where the menus are displayed. After exploring the flavors, I decided on two scoops of ice cream in a waffle cone: chocolate chip and mint chocolate chip. The scoops were enormous, easily equivalent to six standard servings! The flavors were incredibly rich and sweet, just what I had hoped for. The portion size definitely offers great value for the price. However, the parking situation can be quite challenging, as there isn’t enough space for all the neighboring businesses. When we left, we found ourselves blocked in by someone who had double-parked to visit the convenience store. Despite that, the food and service were quite good, and I would highly recommend La Michoacana.

Simple and nostalgic! I always get the Elote corn. They use high-quality corn, and most of the chain opts for the smaller sweet corn, which I prefer over the larger yellow variety.

This place really serves a generous portion of elote, and it’s absolutely delicious! Unlike other places that charge high prices and skimp on the corn, here you get a lot for your money. Definitely worth it!
