  1. Hell yeah, the Yelp reviews were spot on for this place! Great find.

    My chick, who is the biggest Mexican food snob had only praises for the place. As for me, all I can say is that everything was fresh, well made, simple, and authentic. We got a few kinds of tacos, a burrito, and these deep fried thin rolled corn tortillas filled with chicken and everything was out of this world.

    Service was great. Our waitress was really fast and quite friendly to. When our kid dropped her pacifier she grabbed it off the floor and washed it for us without flinching. Also, the cook came out to have a chat and she couldn't have been nicer. Apparently the family that owns the place makes everything from scratch on site. Pretty cool.

    I should mention that there are only 3 or 4 tables, so if you go during prime time there will probably be a wait. Also, it's cash only! That aside, this is probably the best Mexican food you'll find in Westchester. Check it out!

  2. Best taco joint in the area.  I love their food, the authentic ambiance, and the prices can't be beat.  Definitely a place the locals hang out.

  3. Finally!!!! I have been looking for authentic Mexican for ages and this is really it! Forget all the fancy places in the city and the tired suburban sprawlers. This place is small and the real deal.

    You might be intimidated at first with not knowing what to order and the language barrier, however they are most helpful and will make you comfortable. I had three tacos which was plenty filling. I was really happy to see that they also had real spice and offered green chilies if required.

    There isn't much room to sit but if you wait something will open up.

    It's my new go to place for Mexican food.

  4. Hidden gem.  They also run a taco truck in a community park nearby.  In either location, I have to say, this is the best Mex food I have found east of Arizona.

    I judge sit-down Mex by the quality of the chile relleno.  Tecalitlan makes a killer relleno.

    To those seeking a "nice" atmosphere and kick-ass service.  Tecalitlan is a 5 table dive with authentic food.  If you're looking for tequila with lots of fruit – don't come here.

    Excellent chips and salsa.  Meanwhile, back at the taco truck, Mrs G and I were the only non-Mex people ordering and eating these authentic tacos.  Everyone else was smiling and speaking Spanish.
