Love their food! The service is always great but this time we got take out. Our food was ready on time and still hot when we got home. Our portions were plenty and we ate the socks off our chips and queso!

The restaurant environment was good but I didn't think the food was good, lacked flavor. The guacamole and salsa tasted worse than store bought guac and salsa. The fish tacos had no flavor and were overcooked.

The only good thing was the waitress mo. The shrimp was Tiny the enchilada was Tiny they had no tamales and they couldn't even make a normal Taco with lettuce and tomato maybe even avocado like San Marcos does, no. And the steak in the taco was ridiculously salty. We eat out all over town and I'm not making this up. 10 stars for the waitress MO!! but not the food.

Food was cold. We only live 5 minutes away. It was very dry and they try to sell me a Margarita. That was half full in charge me. Full price LOL on this place will never go back again.

Got the shrimp tacos. I asked if it was possible to get chicken instead of the fried shrimp. The waitress had to ask her manager and apparently they could not accommodate that. Makes no sense how they can’t accommodate that. Had to ask for napkins even though the waitress said she was bringing some. Had to walk up to the register to ask for utensils and I apparently was bothering the waitress who just got there and was entering in her tickets. We ordered the nachos with a corn salsa and chicken or something, wasn’t good at all. Looked like a kid from home ec class made it. The fried shrimp tacos were underwhelming at best. Shrimp clearly frozen and tasted old. The cilantro lime slaw, was bland, and the pineapple looked and tasted like it came from a can. The server checked on us a few times but again forgot napkins and utensils. The price of the food is outrageous for a menu that clearly lacks quality ingredients.

Okay, first off, I grew up in California, where you can’t throw a rock without hitting a Mexican food restaurant. So, it’s hard to impress me. Not being a jerk, it’s just that I know the cuisine… Te’kela took it to the next level! The cheese enchiladas was creamy and perfectly melted with a great mouth feel. The Fajita shrimp burrito was a huge surprise! Rice and beans were perfect. (We’ve gotten some bad stuff before.) The pork sliders with the Chipotle BBQ sauce was inspired. I never EVER would have thought that the best Mexican food I’d ever eat would be in Ohio. I can not wait to have some of our California visiting friends to try this place out!
I was pleasantly surprised by the food and the service. Food was very tasty and did not take long. I came at Happy hour and drinks were half off. Wasn’t drinking but will definitely come back another time. Server was a young lady who was super friendly and I didn’t have to ask her for anything. I’m glad I found this spot. Even the manager came to my table to check on me. Bathrooms were clean and modern. I will be back. I just moved here from Texas so it takes a lot to impress me with food.
