The food is great! Most of the ingredients used are fresh, except the typical stale tortilla every now and then. I would have rated higher but customer service is lacking. I once called to check up on an order I placed through campus special, and the older man who answered the phone was very rude, when I asked him about the status of my order. He even hung up on me ! The food is great but I'd suggest ordering delivery to avoid an unpleasant experience at the restaurant ! read more

Good authentic food, don't be scared to try something new. Fast friendly service with a low key atmosphere.

Although I recently gave echalee 5 stars, I'm down grading my review because the service I received today was awful. The server was extremely rude, giving me attitude when I didn't hear her ask what type of tortilla I wanted......seriously? If she was wearing a name tag I would call her out in a second but unfortunately she was not. I also asked for guac and she gave me basically half a teaspoon... So stingy. I was super unhappy with this place today. read more

Favorite place in Tallahassee with good menu choices. I got a burrito with only meat, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, and lettuce. The lady who was working HOOKED IT UP on the meat. It was like eating a whole steak with a side tortilla. Most definitely returning in the near future. read more

I travel all over the United States of America, and I found this little gem of a restaurant!! I definitely recommend patronizing this restaurant!! The food was so delicious with every bite you take there was a different flavor! And as for the staff, they made me feel like I was at home. As for the prices, they were very reasonable for the amount of food you were served! Next time I'm in the area I'll be back! Oooo by the way, the margaritas are fantastic! read more

I really, really wanted to like Echalee. As a basic white girl who enjoys eating at local restaurants, Echalee's seemed like the answer to my Chipotle addiction. However, after having gone there twice, I am NOT impressed. Both times I have gone, it was around dinner time -- and they were out of nearly every topping. Both times I ordered a salad to make up for these lack of toppings (so I didn't have to eat a straight tortilla or taco shell). The guac was brown and the veggies were just not fresh. The beans (or what I got of them) were just ok. I know Echalee has good reviews and I presume that other people have not had the same experience as me. If there WERE sizable quantities of ingredients and they WERE fresh, I would agree with the other reviews. Plus, they have some really good side sauces and their horchata is outstanding; however, I personally will not be going back. read more

This place is AWESOME!!!! My family and I moved here from Chicago, where the mexican restaurants are authentic and amazing....we have been bitterly disappointed by the mexican food restaurants here...except for one. But Echalee does it RIGHT! Amazing food!!! read more

Their food is amazing! Very authentic and original. From the food to the music playing inside also the nice customer service they offer. Best food place in Tallahassee. read more

The interior and service was not good and I almost felt like leaving for Chipotle because of how slow and unkempt they were. But then I tried the food...delicious. I will definitely get a quesadilla there again. read more

Friendly staff, delicious tacos and burritos, endless options/combinations. I come here all the time, can't go wrong.

This place is pretty authentic. They are set up like an assembly line, like Chipotle. They have a lot of different meats to choose from. They have an awesome salsa bar, although they are a little on the spicy side (even the least spicy). They also have a bunch of Mexicans drinks to choose from. I look forward to coming back! read more

Echalee Mexican Grill - Salsa Bar - Mexican Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

I just finished a very tasty dinner at Echalee Mexican Grill! I would recommend everyone in Tallahassee give this place a try. Yes, the food is fast, but everything tastes so fresh in comparison to other similar Mexican joints around town. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and a beer (Modelo Especial, my fave). The quesadilla came with a salad of sorts on the side as well as a decent serving of guacamole. The condiment bar features some tasty items (I got a small container of their salsa verde and an avocado-based sauce that was really delicious). The chicken on the quesadilla was perfectly seasoned. I find that the chicken at Moe's and Chipotle tastes the same (somewhat bland), but the chicken here is more nuanced with its flavoring (there was a sweet tinge of something in the spice mixture which complimented the flavor of the chicken nicely). Overall, my first visit earned them five stars!! Don't listen to the naysayers, and please give Echalee a try! It's good to support local businesses. I look forward to my next visit! read more

Echalee Mexican Grill - Chicken quesadilla with chips, salad, tasty sauces, and a Modelo Especial to top it all off! - Mexican Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

The food here is better and more authentic than any other Mexican fare around Tallahassee. Food is about same price as Moes right down the street. Moes is always more crowded just because of the brand, but folks should definitely be giving this place a try. read more

The owners of this restaurant kept Enchalee's open for 2 hours past their closing time during the hurricane. They were very kind and the food was great! All their ingredients were fresh, even at 12am. Very sweet people and great food. read more

Ordered steak quesadilla 5 hours before closing and the guy said they ran out. I asked if he can make more and he said no. Also ran out of guacamole!!! The restaurant's A/C must have been programmed to 85 degrees, because it felt like an oven. The two guys working were impolite and dying for us to leave... I ended up ordering chicken tacos. The chicken had decent taste, but all the toppings were bland (pico de gallo, cilantro, etc) I'd rather go to Cantina where everything is fresh and the employees are friendlier. read more

If you want a taco but you and refuse to eat Taco Bell but Chipotle and Moe's are closed, this would be when you eat here. It's fast food without a drive thru. Now this is the difference between myself and the person that parties that would give them 5 stars; it's open late, it's noisy, and it's on the strip. So whenever your done drinking and dancing and need to sober up for the low, this would be a great place to go. Otherwise, just forfeit the taco and go to sleep. read more

Is there less than 1 star... between this restaurant and grub hub after waiting 1.5 hours for my order I got an email the order was cancelled no call or anything. They suck... read more

This was very good authentic Mexican food! Great for an after bar snack or in between class bite to eat! Reminds me of home! Great job guys!! read more

Ive been here a few times, live across the street at one of the apartments. Got a burrito both times and the last time was not so good. Got steak and it was dry and actually cut my cheek. I love quthentic mexican burritos, and this was a nogo for me read more

Quiet place not very busy. Thats somebody's loss though. Very tasty authentic mexican food at a great price.

I'm from California and for those of you who haven't been there it is the mecca for good Mexican food (aside from going to Mexico of course). Most of the Mexican Restaurants in town are glorified Taco Bells and while many people in town really like Chipotle as their Mexican food place of choice I challenge you to try this place and see if you'll go back to the other place ever again. Reasons why this place is better: 1. Corn tortillas-yes people real tacos are made with corn tortillas and this place has them. Oh and if you are avoiding gluten in your diet then corn tortillas will work. 2. Meats-they have a larger selection (i.e. steak, barbacoa, fish, chorizo+potato, pastor (bbq pork). One other note, they don't weigh the amount of meat portions on your food unlike the other place that mainly fill your burrito or bowl full of rice and beans. 3. Condiments-Guacamole or sour cream sure thing, how much more for that...nada. Yes those "upgrades" are included in your meal ticket (as it should be at all mexican restaurants). 4. Service-If you prefer being treated like cattle and placed in a line only to finally get your food and find limited seating in a super noisy place then this is not the place for you. These guys are fast and there is always seating. Oh yeah, they also have a pretty good salsa bar too. 5. Taco Tuesday-Tacos are $1 on tuesdays after 5pm. Seriously the BEST bargain in town for eating out on Tuesday hands down. There you have it folks, don't believe me in anything mentioned here then by all means go give them a try and comment on anything I said was wrong. P.S. their quesadillas are pretty damn big so come prepared with an appetite read more

Beautiful place. Great food. Best Mexican fast casual in Tallahassee. Queso is awesome and the prices cannot be beat. I've heard they serve breakfast burritos but I've never gotten there early enough! read more

Food is authentic and extremely satisfying. I ordered the tacos (2 soft steak & chicken and 1 hard steak) it was great. Service was good and my meal came with free chips. Guacamole salsa was great! I enjoyed the steak the most ! read more

No stars actually. I got a severe bout of food poisoning after eating here. I DO NOT recommend this as a safe place to eat.

We went there for lunch on Saturday. The staff couldn't have been any friendlier, and the food was great. The whole roasted jalepenos from their salsa bar sealed the deal. We'll be back -- soon. read more

literally the best quesadillas in tallahassee. they give you good sized portions for low prices, and it comes with chips. all the food is fresh and there is a large variety of options. i definitely recommend coming here if you're in the area read more

Absolutely outstanding, authentic Mexican food for the cheapest prices that I have seen at any Mexican restaurant in Tallahassee. It keeps me coming back for more. read more

Echalee is a fast-casual local establishment similar to Chipotle and Moe's. Prices are slightly less than other comparable restaurants. Food is a la carte and excellent. Would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys Mexican but would prefer a local fast-casual option. Vegan and vegetarian options are plenty. Also serves alcohol. read more
