Honestly, you don't come here for the atmosphere. Although, it has really improved over the last 20 years. In my experience and every experience that I've had at this restaurant, it is a little hole in the wall gem. If you want authentic, check it out. One of my favorites that they've had forever is the sopa de Nopales. Cactus soup. If you know good soup, you know that good soup is all in the broth! And they definitely have this down. Haven't been here for years and today I went with my sister and was so happy that it's still there. We drove over 30 minutes to hit this place.

Never have I ever! I always like going to Mexican places (restaurants) I love anything with green sauce. From chilaquiles and what not. I ordered the tlacoyos as I remembered them from years ago!!! When I was in high school oooooh many moons ago 🌙. Just like I remembered. The tlacoyo was delicious!! I ordered my eggs and wow they came out to perfection, no restaurant has ever made them the way I love them. Also the service was phenomenal! This establishment is the true definition of “the customer is always right”. I also have to give props to the fact they have authentic mezcal drinks. I ordered couple shots of Mezcal and a few beers. It reminded me of my “Tierra”. Ten out of ten. What you would want and expect when going out to eat!

I taught the one time that my food don’t have taste was an accident. I confirm again that it’s a really bad choice to eat here.

A truly delightful dining experience. We were sat & served chips almost instantly after walking in, and the food came out fast! Servers are kind and attentive, and everybody seems to get along with each other—which is always great to see!

The rice & beans are vegetarian friendly, a huge plus for our vegetarian friend!

We got the cheese quesadilla, barbacoa tacos, cubano torta, and the delicious hominy soup. A fantastic feast was had, and the atmosphere was lovely.

Thank you for a wonderful experience, El Tlacoyo! We will be back!

The service was good, the restaurant was clean, the food was average. It didn't have any special flavor and the quality of the food could be improved.
