We ordered the Enchiladas (carne molida / ground meat) which were good but the ground meat tasted a bit plain. The special enchilada sauce was good and the cheese did not taste cheap. Birria was good. Steak tacos were good. The rice gets a thumbs up and the refried beans I thought were tasty. The salsa and tortillas were also great. Horchata, which is a little bit different everywhere you go, I thought was wonderful here. Staff was friendly and the place had a great vibe.

I grew up eating at Tecalitlan for over 30 years when they were located in West Town before they moved to this location. They used to be known for there famous giant burritos and top notch margaritas. Oh how they are just simple and sloppy now a days. Although I go a few times a year is only for the margaritas. No more giant size burritos. Their carne asada has gotten so different that you can’t even taste the meat due to the excessive grease and how they cut up the steak. Yes literally chopped so small and over cooked. The burrito used to be packed with love everything was portion inside where every bite you got to taste all the ingredients.
Now it just looks good to the eyes!
The vibes have disappeared and the prices have shot up. If they lowered the prices in sure more people would fill up this giant spacious location.
It’s so sad to see awesome restaurants focus more on the money than keeping the customers. I know a business needs to run but robbing pockets for crappy food and arrogant services is not the way to do it.
I’m thinking their best time is probably during a lunch or happy hour rush to get the specials.
But that’s how restaurants flow where they lose what really matters when greed to fill the pockets comes first.
Don’t expect free nachos when you come in, didn’t expect top notch attention from your waitstaff and didn’t expect quality food in your plate. Dont get me wrong its not horrible but it’s definitely not great. Stick with the margaritas it’s the only thing you’ll probably come back for and with their prices they should be generous in their house tequila.
What used to be nostalgia is now just another Chicago Mexican restaurant.
Expect to pay a high price before walking out. You may consider googling another Mexican restaurant where your going to get a bang for your buck!
Ps don’t order their Tequila old fashion the presence of the smoke is the only good thing we had to send ours back twice because it’s tasted like brown water down tequila.
Go during happy hour because margaritas are 10.00 oppose to 22.00.
One more thing they will validate your parking ticket up to 2 hours anything after will be garage cost of 14.00 so if your their to celebrate or hang out you’ll know you will not be paying the 2.00 exit.

Had a delicous and filling dinner tonight and took home two more meals for the family which were both thoroughly enjoyed!! Everything is so fresh and flavorful and it came out very quickly, too, so I didn’t fill up on chips (but I could have made a meal of the chips and salsa because they are THAT good!) This place is a MUST if you’re in downtown Aurora and looking for a good meal!

I will be coming back again and again!!

Went with friends out to lunch and this was my first time here.
My impression is it’s not a big restaurant, but the seating is comfortable and there is lots of light. (I don’t care for dark restaurants) The family / staff that works here are wonderful, friendly and attentive.
The food is some of the best authentic Mexican food I’ve had in a long time, and there was plenty. Prices are good for the quality and quantity of the food.
I can honestly say the only drawback I found in this wonderful restaurant was the guy that sings the entire time you are there. He sings well, that’s not the problem, the problem is he turns up his music loud and he’s very loud, which makes it almost impossible to carry on a conversation with whomever you are eating with. For this reason only did I give “Atmosphere” only 4 out of 5 stars. Everything else is a solid 5 stars.

Amazing flautas I’ve come here for years ever since I was a child and I always get the chicken flautas. I love this location because they’re Horchata’s handmade and it’s always the best.

We can never get enough of their delicious food!! We brought our family in from out of town to try and they were beyond happy they came!! We enjoyed Pozole, Caldo de Pollo, Tacos de asada and tortas con agua de horchata! Looking forward to next time!

Absolutely phenomenal. I actually teared up over the cheese enchilada and the camarones rancheros were to die for. Tortillas… out of this world. Pico de gallo and salsas were super fresh and tasty. There was a very talented gentleman performing live who went around the restaurant to serenade guests, which was SO sweet. The lady who waited on us said her parents founded the restaurant over 40 years ago and it shows! The place is clean and cozy, the people who worked there were all super quick and helpful, and the food was insane. We live an hour away and will absolutely be making the drive to come back for more.

Had the pleasure of trying this downtown Aurora gem for the first time, and it did not disappoint! We ordered carne asada tacos, which were nicely seasoned and had tender meat. We also got their famous quesabirria tacos made the authentic way with boiled goat, which was a huge plus for me. They were absolutely delicious. Their complimentary chips and salsa were also outstanding. The only thing I could complain about is the price, but with inflation I understand why the prices are a bit higher, and its well worth it anyways! Don’t miss out on trying this staple restaurant.
