An excellent Mexican joint. Miguel served us and went above and beyond as a host, we felt so welcomed here. The tacos and chile rellenos were delicious, everything tasted fresh and the portion size was very appropriate. Highly recommend!

I had high expectations due to the reviews. Overall, everything was ok but prices are really affordable. The steak was a little greasy. We did enjoy the Al pastor but nothing that would make us want to go back.

Truly had a lovely meal and experience just from picking up food at El Tezcal. 10/10 service from what seems like the kindest folks and fresh, *dank* food. I’m so happy to know we live around the corner from this homey, delicious spot. Go here!
