As a Mexican cafe, I expected more flavor from the food, specifically the chilaquiles and the grilled chicken sandwich. The chilaquiles sauce was alright but lacked flavor and spice. The “grilled” chicken was in fact not grilled but boiled and had no flavor. The water on the table was cloudy and has something in it (we assumed squeezed lemon) but was just regular water. The service was okay, getting checked in on. The atmosphere was lively as it was very busy.

Been waiting for more than an hour in the cold for a table of 5!
We asked for updates just to find out the host put 3 people instead of 5.
Keep in mind, she been passing so many people of 3 for the past two hours too.
When we corrected her, she was saying she only sits people of 3??? did not make sense at all
She then just proceeded to close the door and didn’t give us a solution to our conflict?
I been in the restaurant industry for 5-7 years and this is so unacceptable and unprofessional

I arrived around 11:20 am and asked the hostess I had a party of 5. She wrote my name and I assumed she wrote it. The wait was approximately 20 min (fine by me). However, after like 30 min, we asked for an update and were told that some tables were clearing up. I waited. My party and I wait for over an hour and a half. I asked the hostess for an update and mentioned we were waiting for over an hour. She told me she only sits people when table are open. She showed me her notebook and she had written 3 instead of 5.

Keep in mind she had been serving groups of 3 before us to the people that arrived after us. I told her we had 5 people and instead of providing us an option, she turned around and went back inside without giving us an option or turning the party of 5 that arrived after us.

I used to love this place, but after today’s encounter it’s disappointing. I will not be coming back again.

Great food! Highly recommend the chilaquiles. The food is comforting and feel like you are eating at your mom’s house. Portions are great! They do get very busy on the weekends. Be patient, as the staff does their best. Call ahead to get on the waitlist!

It’s always a pleasant experience visiting Tiztal. My go-to is the oatmeal pecan shake and chilaquiles

Came here for breakfast and ordered the Chilaquiles. The portion was generous, with perfectly crunchy tortillas covered in warm, flavorful salsa. The side of potatoes was crispy and seasoned just right. Overall, a very satisfying meal!

I absolutely loved my visit to Tiztal! I had the chorizo and eggs chilaquiles and the original oatmeal shake. Everything was phenomenal, the restaurant itself has a quaint, intimate and energetic vibe and the staff were wonderful. 10/10 will be back!

Adequate neighborhood restaurant. Food good: nice sandwich, fried potatoes and fruit cup. Limited menu. One server struggled to keep up. Surcharge for credit card. No alcohol.

$91 for breakfast for 3 people is outrageous. Last time I eat there. Was it good? Yes. But it’s breakfast.

Our food was great, we were served water & coffee & was never checked on again until we asked for our food which took more than 30 mins to come out. Never was asked if needed more coffee or anything. But after food was served then was checked on but was a little annoyed by then. Love the outside seating offered, was a beautiful afternoon to sit outside

Delicious meal, generous portions, and reasonable prices in a no-frills storefront. The staff was busy but wait times were never unreasonable. Repeat complementary coffee refills and generous juice portions. The chilaquiles were amazing and I appreciate having the option on how you'd like your eggs prepared. I recommend getting them with the steak ($18 and worth it), but our table also loved them with chorizo.

Would absolutely recommend this place to others and will be back myself. There was a line of people waiting for tables the whole time we were there so the people know!
