Chris BroachJanuary 17, 2011Margarita specials are awesome. He service is actually pretty great, and the food comes up so fast. It's Delicious. One of my favorite places in the city.
ChicagoistAugust 1, 2014The meat is charred and tasty. The vegetables are fresh. The ambiance is clean and decorative. I prefer ordering the burritos here topped with melted cheese. Read more
Tecalitlan RestaurantOctober 10, 2013Come spend $15 and get a free dessert, when you dine in only. One offer per table, per visit. Offer valid now through Sunday Oct. 13, 2013.
Roberto CornrjoApril 20, 2013Some of the best Mexican food in the city. Can't go wrong w/ burrito suzio. Ask for Felipé, good server.
AshleyDecember 5, 2011Get the enchiladas (any kind) they taste so good they make you want to slap your mama. Or think that they put crack in them...either way, best thing ever!
Roosevelt CollectionFebruary 7, 2012After asking for tortilla soup for 2 years here at our favorite Mexican joint, they finally have it on the menu and it is AMAZING!!- Tecalitlan RestaurantOctober 10, 2013Try our new Jamaica (Hibiscus flower) Margarita and our Skinny Margarita! They are so refreshing!
Maribel SuárezMay 21, 2013Service could be better.... The server took my order wrong and in top of that he said I that was what I ordered. The food didn't wowed me. I had better food in smaller restaurants.
Eleni PerezAugust 4, 2013You can celebrate a birthday and they'll put a sombrero on the person. It's very cute :)
Rosa LopezFebruary 19, 2012Had the Tampiqueña and it rocked although they are kinda cheap with the horchata 2 bucks for a cup of it when in other placed it's for three times the size...
Taco salads are very filling, huge portions ! Deliciousness ♥
FoxNovember 13, 2014It's what you want when you want it and there's always a game on the big screens.
The medium chips and salsa is a great and affordable addition to any party or gathering!
Ronell FergusonOctober 13, 2011Best Mexican Restaurant Ever! I live in Joliet and I am willing to take the hour drive for this food!
Get the steak fajitas and the tortilla soup! The best I have ever had!

- My favorite Mexican restaurant in the entire city. Been coming here around 20 years. Steak burrito & a house margarita will solve your life's problems
Chris MoreheadApril 10, 2012I've had better... Fundido was gross. Why is there not a single Mexican restaurant in Chicago that serves actual queso dip?
Luke RzewnickiJune 16, 2010Fuck this place. Horrible service. Messing bathrooms. Although great margarita specials...
