“ ummm WOW! Very authentic Mexican and everything was amazing! The outdoor patio is awesomeeee right now especially if you want to social distance responsibly. We felt so comfortable! The staff was so friendly and tentative. Slight delay on the appetizer but she apologized and kept us informed which I appreciate. The tamales were huge, I recommend the chicken! Steak enchiladas with green sauce were some of the best I’ve ever had. Can’t rave about this place enough. Large portions, good prices! ”
“ I'm writing this on a full stomach as I have filled up on chips & guac, elote, and cod tacos. They were all very good. The service here is great. Very happy with this experience overall. ”
“ We have been enjoying this amazing food since my Holy Trinity High school days in the 90's!!!! Still Fire!!!! They are in a new location but the ambiance and food traveled very well! My wife were on a staycation vibe weekend. We were headed to The Ritz to check and figured we'd have dinner 1st. She said hey isn't this your Tecalitilan place!!! I got toooGEEKED!! I SWEAR? She said I think so. I said LEEEGGOOOO!!!! We pulled up and figured out how to get to it. Had a parking structure, that was cool. They could do a little better with the signage, couldn't find it at 1st. I asked a cat who was cleaning and pointed out the way!! The hospitality was great as always!! We were warmly welcomed and shown to a table. The waitress and table attendant was on it!! She greeted us and answered our questions and took our drink order. We looked up and water was on the table and our drinks were being sat down. We ordered and the food came just as fast. It was like a time machine!!! Shhheeessshhhhhh!!! Felt like Doras BACKPACK...yum yumMMM DELICIOSOOO!!! I even saw the owner and remembered him from back in the day when he was the manager for his dad!! I let him know how much we enjoyed our experience and he was appreciative of the Kudos!! I look forward to going back again, now I know where they are!! ”

“ This restaurant is amazing. All of the food I had were very yummy. Service was a little slow but there was only one server working when my group got their so I can understand. But the server was super friendly and was always very helpful with the menu. I recommend coming here for a birthday brunch. ”
