I've been eating at Tecates since they opened and have never had a bad meal or experience. The wait staff is great! The food is always authentic and delicious!

It’s a good place that has okay flavored Mexican food. Prices are above descent. I personally wouldn’t go back though. I asked the waitress with bleach blonde hair that kept staring at us all night for a bag to put my to go food in and she responded back very mean for me to “wait”. I don’t understand why she was so rude so I’ll be taking my money else where. Other than that it was an alright spot. Pity. I easily spent money there the handful of times I went but not anymore. Plenty places around the area so no loss. Customer service is KEY. Advice to that lady ….Patience. You lost a customer whom would have came back repeatedly if it wasn’t for the unpleasant moment.

The food is okay. The tortillas aren’t made in house. When we went, they didn’t provide salsa, only Tabasco?? I’ve never been to a Mexican restaurant that doesn’t have salsa.

I was really looking forward to eating my migas—lightly toasted tortillas with eggs and other traditional Mexican ingredients. But unfortunately, once I got to work and opened the container, I realized the tortillas were still raw. I understand that migas can be soft, but these weren’t just soft—they were undercooked.
It was super disappointing. I took a couple of bites and had to throw the whole plate away, which felt like a total waste of money. I also noticed the chef wasn’t familiar with authentic preparation. Maybe consider having someone with a true understanding of Mexican flavors and techniques handle dishes like this—it really makes a difference.

It feels like my grandmother's dining room. The food is authentic and they have the BEST margaritas in TEXAS!
The prices are extremely affordable and the waitresses are amazing.

The food I was served today was absolutely horrible . Tasted old , the potatoes were burned 3 times over tasted like dried cardboard with too much oregano . Tasted like OLD grease ! I’m sorry you just don’t season TEXAS FAJITAS WITH THIS .. I sent my plate back ! This place used to be so good back in the day . I would have been embarrassed to put a plate of this garbage out to serve … BAD FOOD YUK !!! I won’t recommend here at all

This is a little hidden gem. The food was outstanding, the service was wonderful and the prices were great.
It is a very easy walk (~2 minutes)from the hospital.
The family and I have been coming here for over 15 years! There’s no better!

Barely ok. Food not flavored very well. Steak and beef really tough. Waitress that I had never smiled ...I had to ask for water refill twice. I asked for chopped onions and jalapeños on my enchilada plate, and I was charged $1.99 for a small medine cup size cup of jalepenos and $1.00 for the same small cup of onions. She didn't tell me there was a charge. I saw it when the bill came. My margarita tasted weak like lemonade not worth $12 that I paid. Just average at best. The restursunt was clean. There was a lady mopping while we were eating...thought that was kinda rude. But I might go back and give them another chance. May have been a rough day for everybody.

I had just ran out 4 mile and was starving so I pull it to the restaurant. As soon as I enter I felt the emptiness and unfriendliness no welcoming. Late in service, no smiles in the staff. Their Tecate especial far from a special order. The meat in it was like beef jerky. Long story short i got sick with stomach ache and diarrhea all night. Don't go there I am ok now.
