El Tezcal Mexican - Chicago

Authentic Mexican food! Guacamole is a large portion, 2 cups. 2 tacos are the perfect amount. Pollo is stewed and full of flavor, pastor is rich with intense flavors.Food: 5/5

Hidden gem on a sleepy stretch of Kedzie Lived the salsa verde they served with chips when we arrived. We had the chicken enchiladas with mole and bistec a la Mexicanaabsolutely the best mole I’ve had, and the enchiladas were filled with well seasoned chicken. Bistec also delicious quality of steak very good as was the sauce. Very large portions and great value Server was very helpful and friendly and provided great suggestions!

The food is beyond compare! Absolutely amazing! The restaurant is so cute and the owner is very friendly and welcoming. Cannot say enough good things about this place!!Food: 5/5

I was really hopeful that El Tezcal would deliver on some amazing Mexican food based on the reviews. Had to get carry-out since we had our dog with us. Service was friendly and fast. I was torn between a 3 star and 4 star. The good aspects was the friendly service and the bistec a la mexicana had a nice flavour. But beyond that the misses for us were: the tacos were bland and lacked flavour. Also, it really ruins a meal when you get home and they mess up the order. Instead of Al Pastor taco they made them chicken tacos. I also asked for no beans and just rice. Since I ordered at the counter and they repeated my order, it wasn’t communication issues. It would have been ok if the taco was good but the chicken was dry.

Done only take out here, sopes, tacos, Enchiladas, burritos etc. Always delicious.The food is fresh and tasty. Quacamole made fresh each time.
