    Shredded chicken enchiladas with a verde sauce

    Popped in here after a nice bike ride and wanted a little brunch. New restaurant that opened so everything we neat, clean and in its place. Walked up to the counter and ordered them had a seat. Ordered the agua fresca which was very refreshing. My friend ordered the Mexican Burger with fries and he said he very much enjoyed it and the fries came out hot and crispy. I had the shredded chicken enchiladas with a verde sauce. Was very good and satisfying. The wait staff was kind and friendly. I would definitely come back again since the food is made to order and not expensive. I would come back and try more. Also there is parking so that's a bonus.

    Really enjoyed our breakfast here. Nice family owned spot. I loved my order of chilaquiles. I had the red but I'm wanting to go back and try this green version. My wife endorses the hand made flour tortillas. Good coffee as well.

    Friendly staff, food was tasty. The Mexican mocha was delicious. Definitely a repeat spot.

    Café de hoya and cinnamon roll. Chips and cheese.

    Food is always excellent. The charro beans are fantastic brought back many memories of when I was a child. Their mole though, on another level! It's sweet and savory hits home every single time! The owners are also super sweet and friendly and know how to treat their clientele in a friendly manner. The restaurant is also very clean and well kept. Ample parking too.

    This restaurant is in the vicinity of Farmer's Market and El Bolillo. I like to try new restaurants and I wasn't disappointed. To begin, they have good parking space. As we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the owners. As for the food, I only have good things to say. I ordered the street tacos with al pastor meat and it came with delicious frijoles a la charra. I tried my husbands milanesa, and that was yummy. I also had a sample of their mole sauce and it was very good! It wasn't bitter like some i have tasted. My next visit, I will order the mole.

For drinks, my husband and our friends tried some of the margaritas from their large and unique margaritas menu, as well as their hibiscus agua fresca. All of the drinks were very pretty and it seemed like everyone enjoyed them, too! We started with their chips and salsa trio, which we all really liked. The chips were on the thicker side, but were crispy and not stale or chewy at all. Each of the salsas were quite different, and two were served warm, which we really liked! For the price, I'd consider getting the chips and salsa as a non-negotiable, honestly. For entrees, we tried the enchilada rojas, chilaquiles verde w/ chicken and beef, birria barbacoa ramen, and huaraches. My husband felt like his ramen could have included more meat, but aside from that everyone really enjoyed what they ordered. The highlight was probably the desserts, though! We got a quatro leches and two ordered of their giant and amazing churros. Both were incredibly tasty and reason enough to return for another visit in the future!

It was my first time trying out Tex mex style. It was so busy on a Saturday evening. The chips that were given to each table was incredibly warm and the sauces paired so well. I ordered the el manarco which is this giant piece of steak that was well charred, included this avacado and seafood grit sauce, rice + soup + gauconole/salsa. They gave me 4 giant house made tortillas which was also fresh and warm. This meal can be finished by two people. Definitely come here on an empty stomach and the portions are absolutely massive.

I just had the Machacado con Huevo breakfast dish here and it was so incredibly good-So good! it was one of the best breakfasts Ive ever had. seriously.I will definitely be back for this breakfast. I recommend getting it with red and green sauce on the side and a side of tortillas ro make your own tacos with the eggs, salsa and refried beans. just wow! And that tamale needs its own menu. That tamale was amazing. I would get several orders of that soft white tamale by itself to go. And the service was a 10/10. They kept refilling my red and green sauce and kept checking up on me throughout. Ambience was great as always. Its a life changing dish. Thanks Teotihuacan for the great breakfast and great service! Yall deserve a well-earned review!

Service was remarkable and very friendly from the host to the cleaning staff. Food was delicious. I really appreciated the creative flavors that were inspired by authentic Mexican cuisine. Standouts were the guacamole and wagyu carne asada, but everything was fantastic. I loved the Clara cocktail and enjoyed learning about the process to create it. It is clear that there was care and attention behind each menu item. Also, the pace of the food being brought out was evenly paced, which I appreciate, and our server gave us just the right amount of attentiveness. We celebrated my husband's birthday here, and they sent out a tres leches with a candle on it. Very kind and very delicious dessert. Usually not a big fan of tres leches, but this one was not overwhelmingly soaked in condensed milk, and it has a very fresh tasting peach (seasonal) puree drizzled on top. We will most definitely return.

We ordered the breakfast burrito and the duck carnitas. We added barbacoa to the burrito, and it was honestly the definition of comfort food. It was EXTREMELY greasy though, so I ended up eating it with a fork and knife. If I had been home alone... I probably would've just shoved the whole thing in my mouth. I couldn't not order the duck carnitas. It came on a sope, which is basically my definition of the perfect Mexican brunch. It was really yummy, and I especially loved the salsa that came with it. My only real critique is that the portions felt a little on the smaller side. Either bump them up a bit or add a small side, because I definitely could've eaten a little more.

We did have to ask for a bit of cleanup around our table from the previous guests, but considering how busy the restaurant was, it wasn't a major issue and was taken care of promptly. The food was very good and lived up to expectations. My only disappointment was the Bloody Maria, which wasn't seasoned properly and lacked the balance and depth of flavour I was hoping for. Overall, a fun, energetic spot serving very good food, with just a few minor details keeping it from being an exceptional experience. Saluti.
