The people there were wonderful and we're looking forward to going back again very soon.
Delicious meal served in a colorful, plant filled restaurant. The food was delicious and served in large portions. We were also given small soups to start and fruit with tajin after our meal.

El Tezcal Authentic Restaurant serves super fresh and flavorful food in a great ambiance. This family-owned shop offers generous portions at a worthwhile price. Highly recommended dishes include guacamole, enchiladas suizas, pollo en mole reyna, and burrito al pastor. The service is fantastic, with many noting the kind staff, and the restaurant is kid-friendly with high chairs and kids' menus available. Guests have enjoyed the horchata and appreciate the prompt service. It's a must-visit for authentic Mexican cuisine, with many considering it one of the best in Chicago. El Tezcal is also BYOB, making it a great choice for a casual meal.
