We ended up coming here based on Google Map’s recommendation that this was a good fit for us. And it ended up being a great experience. You can tell the family who owns it also works here and they take pride in what they do. They try their best to serve and please their customers. We felt welcome and cared for here. The food was authentic and great tasting. Prices were reasonable, if not cheap for Chicago standards. The salsa was too spicy for our tastebuds and the tacos were OK. From the outside you’d not even realize this restaurant is here. They have diaper changing stations in their bathrooms.

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.

Always delicious and fresh food. Got my usual today,- Chicken fajitas and home made horchata. I’ve eaten here by myself and with 1-12 other guests. Everyone I’ve taken here has been impressed by this family run business.

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 Mexicana

Would miss it driving by but the food and service was amazing! Plenty of food and the chef, Miguel, was wonderful! He made sure that we had the best experience possible, and was very funny as well.We are visiting the city from Texas and it’s some of the best Mexican food I’ve had! Would recommend to anyone looking for good local Mexican food! I got the nachos with steak and I thought they were amazing!

El Tezcal is my favorite family owned and operated mexican restaurant in the Chicago area. I love the ambience, the service is very friendly and everything is freshly made, you get a homemade taste and feel for the food! I can’t wait to go back and try everything on the menu! I love their sopes and tacos, I’m looking forward to having to pick between enchiladas, mole, sopes, or a massive burrito next time I’m here!
