" I've been to many Mexican restaurants but none compare to Tecalitlan. Their handmade tortillas and salsas are out of this world. The burritos are huge and packed with flavor. I loved how the staff treated us like family; they were very welcoming. I ordered the Lomo en Chile and every bite was flavorful. Truly a special place in Aurora for anyone looking for great Mexican cuisine. I’ll definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much hype, my first visit to Tecalitlan left mixed feelings. While the atmosphere was traditionally bright and lively, my dish didn’t wow me. I tried the seafood tacos and found them to be just okay. The portions were satisfactory, but I expected more zest in flavor. Service was friendly but slightly rushed. I’ll give them another shot; friends highly recommend their other dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a family gathering at Tecalitlan last week, and we all left satisfied. The authentic flavors stood out, especially in their carne asada and homemade tortillas! The salsa served with chips was fresh and bursting with flavor. Even my picky eater cousin devoured their enchiladas. The atmosphere was cozy, and we enjoyed a leisurely meal together. The prices were reasonable, and the servings were decent. I can't wait to return for another family get-together here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I really wanted to love this place based on the rave reviews from friends, but my experience was mixed. While the atmosphere was vibrant and the service fantastic, my dish lacked the authenticity I expected. I tried the chicken fajitas, and while they were decent, they missed the mark on flavor that I hoped for. Portion sizes were good, but for a bit more flavor, I think they could improve. I'll give them another shot sometime, though. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Tecalitlan for the first time last weekend and was completely blown away. The carne asada tacos were perfectly seasoned and the handmade tortillas were a game-changer. I highly recommend trying their signature salsa; it had just the right kick. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it a great spot for family dinners. I was also pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes, which were ample for the price. I will definitely be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great experience overall at Tecalitlan! The ambiance was casual and cozy which made for a pleasant evening out. I tried their classics like enchiladas and loved every bit. Each dish was packed with rich flavors that really represent authentic Mexican cuisine. Service was attentive; our server regularly checked on us without being intrusive. The prices reflect the quality, and I felt satisfied by the end of the meal. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Tecalitlan recently. The ambiance was lively, full of colors and rich decorations, providing a perfect backdrop for a cozy meal. I tried the shrimp tacos and my partner had the tamales. Both dishes were authentic and delivered fantastic flavors that transported us straight to Mexico. The only downside was that we had to wait a bit longer for our food, but it was worth it. The service was friendly, although a tad slow, but I'd recommend this place for its authentic dishes and vibrant vibe. " (*Curated Review*)
