I was here saturday may 26th. Me, my mom and my best friend. We placed our orders about 7 30. They brought pur drinks right away. We sat waiting, having small talk ,and hoping the food would come soon. By 8 30 the entire restaurant is now empty except for our table and 1 man at the bar. When we got there it was very full. Finally 8 45 the waiter comes and tells us he lost the order ticket for our food and we would need to reorder. Im so upset i ask for a manager the manager comes and days oh he's new. So we are starving by now so we order food which takes another 20 minutes and when it gets to our table ITS ICE COLD!!! I SEND IT BACK. They bring our food back again and im so mad i cant even eat it. Over 2 hours in this restaurant. Finally they bring the bill and its for 67.19. I ask the manager is their sny compensation s For our wasted time here. He says no they dont do that and instead tries to bring me a plate of guacamole. Which i decline. So i ask why not he say its their policy. I come to this restaurant at least 4 times a month, after this experience i will not be returning thet have lost a very loyal customer. Yes this is how my food was served to me and there is a picture of the bill after they swiped my card for horrible service, cold food, and horrible presentation. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!!

We have been enjoying this amazing food since my Holy Trinity High school days in the 90's!!!! Still Fire!!!!đŸ”„ 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!!

Should have read the reviews on this one first, but we were hungry and looking for last minute Mexican food. The server Beto was totally unprofessional, got mad when we asked to verify the flavor of Aguas Frescas they offered. Like “I don’t have time for this” attitude. Never came back to ask how they food was or if we wanted another round of drinks. I did tell the manager and she was super nice and said she was going to talk to him. The tacos Al Pastor are not good. Definitely first and last time here. It was two adults and three kids and Beto still took the automatic service % of charged added to parties of 5 or more, which is not optional otherwise he wouldn’t have deserved it. Save your money and taste buds and go elsewhere.

I ordered delivery $55.00 today 1/15/2016 and once again it's wrong. I spoke with the owner and was treated like a tostada food bandit. I order here on a frequent basis they always get my order wrong always blaming me the customer where is there customer service skills it puts me to wonder. The owner was so angry and irate with me he obviously did not care to hear me he was convinced without hesitation I was wrong. He demanded all his food back well I told him they ate it that the only food missing was mine that I would gladly return it to him. All I wanted was my 2 tostada plain and my guacamole with no cheese on it or cream because of my allergies so simple. The driver came for the wrong food and swaps it for more food except for that nasty discusting tortilla soup that was thrown in the garbage because it was not ettible. Long story short I told the owner I'm not looking for free food or a free handout I just spent $55.00 on a delivery order all I'm asking for is my food everyone else ate. He then told me I can no longer have food from Tecatetlan also I can walk in or sit in and order that way. I was never so humiliated being a paying customer mind you $55.00 he needs to take a class on how to treat his customers this is probably the reason why he can't fill his restaurant up. One should never feel they can belittle a paying customer because the Consiquences can be severe many people are looking for places to eat your one of many I hope my experience serves to benifit someone out looking for a great place to eat and be treated this Tecatetlan is not the place for there bad food, there service and the respect well they give you none. I had no choice but to put one star meaning "HATED IT" but truly having experienced such horrible treatment today from the owner of Tecatetlan it takes a toll on how people think the can treat others. Don't eat here take your...

Excited to be back in Chicago for the air and water show and visiting family for the weekend. My husband and I were thrilled to try this restaurant over the weekend, but our experience was far from satisfactory. The food was delicious, but our overall first-time dining experience was a complete letdown. From the moment we sat down to the time we paid the bill, it was a total disappointment.

Despite being a busy Saturday brunch, the restaurant only had two servers. Our server, Francisco, took an eternity to acknowledge us, and even when he did, he never apologized for the long wait. When he finally arrived at our table, he immediately asked if we were ready to order, which we weren’t. As first-time diners, we inquired about specials, but he rudely declined our request. As we tried to ask more questions, he seemed annoyed and appeared disinterested in serving us.

We finally placed our order, but the time it took for our drinks to arrive was longer than the time it took for our food. We noticed that the server was preparing our drinks as well as the other tables, which we found odd. There was a gentleman at the bar who seemed to be some kind of manager, but his assistance to his employees was lacking. The server didn’t come back to check on us after we received our food because he was busy behind the bar preparing drinks. When he finally did, he simply dropped off the check and didn’t even clear our table.

We were deeply disappointed with our first-time experience and will definitely not be returning. We wouldn’t recommend this...

Beautiful evening celebrating my husband's birthday!!

We drove from Streamwood, Il because it was my husband birthday, and we were from Chicago and used to enjoy eating at this place many times when the location was by Chicago Avenue!

We were disappointed ... We totally found the menu changed??? and all our favorite dishes gone???? It was a little disappointing....as we drove to find those delicious plates we used to eat once upon a long time ago!!

The food was good, the atmosphere was sad...what happened to the music, the customs you once had???? That's want to make us want to come back out of all the restaurants in Chicago we could have gone to! We were just heartbroken!!! It used to b so alive and festive!!!! Why the change??? Because it's in a different area?? What happened to keeping your culture alive???

The guava flan was different and unique and very tasty, I would have preferred it a little sweeter or a few pieces of guave on top to present the uniqueness of it!! By the way, we asked for a coco flan, and they gave him a vanilla flan... but we didn't want to waste the flan... so he just ate it.

By the way...my husband did not even get acknowledged that it was his birthday...as I told the young lady as I walked in...we r here to celebrate my husband birthday! ( Not even Happy Birthday... Most restaurants give a free dessert and say Happy Birthday, what happened here???)

Definitely, some things need to change in serving your latino-hispanic community the way...
