    My daughter and I enjoyed having lunch here on New Year’s Eve. We were greeted by great people and the space was very beautiful and clean. The food was excellent and definitely a place I plan on returning to over and over again in the future.

    I don’t know where to start, but I can start off by saying that the gentlemen that greeted us by the entrance was super nice & helpful. Right away I felt a good vibe. It was my first time in this restaurant. My guest arrived & we got seated right away. Our server Stephanie was also super nice & helpful with the menu, she wasn’t rushing us, nor did we feel like she checked on us way too many times. She recommended the perfect margaritas, we each got 2. Even the lady that brought our chips & guac was so nice. The food was amazing, and the music selection was the best part. I will be coming back. Their prices are reasonable. Maybe adding more food selection to the menu would be great, other than that, 12/10!

    We used to go to the original restaurant on Chicago Avenue. We finally decided to try the new place for dinner, what a great choice. The food was excellent and the wait staff were outstanding. The staff was quick and friendly, the food was just as delicious as I remember it. The new restaurant is tucked into the New City plaza and has a parking garage in it. If you want authentic Mexican food, this is the spot.

    Very good! Close, if not identical to food quality at the old location. Prices seemed a bit high, I recall chips and salsa at no charge at old location. Our meal was 2 tacos and vegetarian burrito with one iced tea and it was more than $45.00. Seems high for Mexican food, but I understand cost changes these days. Recognized friends birthday with song and piece of flan, which was awesome! Will be back!

    Very good food. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Wish it had been warm outside as the outdoor area looks nice. Definitely will go back.

    We were excited about a new restaurant opening nearby and Tecalitlan has a good reputation. It was nice to sit on the patio but the experience was so-so. Portion of guacamole, salsa, chips were very small and our waiter was nowhere to be found. Seems high priced. Shrimp and ground beef were flavorful, carne asada was not. Guacamole was good but too creamy for my taste. Try Tecalitlan at Happy Hour for a Margarita and a snack on the patio.
