“We stopped here for dinner with a group of six and all of our food was excellent. We appreciate the really fast service and very nice decor inside this restaurant. We had the three taco dinner as well as a side of guacamole and we had their signature fresh made margaritas on the rocks. The chicken tortilla soup was also really great! We definitely will be back.”

“We decided to try this place since we were close by. We were surprised of how good the margaritas were! Ordering a pitcher was enough for 4 people and even though it was a bit pricey, they were great! Our family only had appetizers but the steak tacos were decent. Service was excellent.”

“$40 for 3 happy hour items - ouch! Service was fantastic so no complaints there, but will only be coming here when I’m flush with cash.”

“I ordered chicken soup, but I couldn't eat it. The soup was too vegetables big and undercooked. I'm disappointed with this.”
“We absolutely love Tecalitlan and order from here regularly. We ran into an issue with NewCity parking policies today and it’s hurting this business. It’s in NO WAY the restaurants fault. We hope things change back to the way it was so we aren’t inconvenienced anymore. But Tecalitlan is still amazing, has amazing food and great service. Best burritos in town!”
“I love this place I moved away from Chicago decades ago but Tecalitlan is a place I always refer to people and enjoy coming back to myself. It’s the best authentic Mexican food, best price, and best atmosphere! It’s simply the best!”
“Steak is on point. Chicken is good too. Mango Margherita is a must”
