Over the course of a few days, we tried the tacos, the chicken burrito, the teocali thai burrito w chicken, and the piggy pork burrito. The piggy pork burrito was really really good! Everything else was just fine. A good spot for a quick and convenient meal in CB. read more

Teocalli Tamale - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Crested Butte, Colorado

Bug old bussin burritos and bowls. This is like a local Chipotle but better! There are so many different variations you can get here with different meats and salsas. It is a perfect day when you can ski all day and stop here after! read more

Once again Teacali Tamale delivers. Food perfect, service solid and fun music. Tamale plate exceptional.

Great for a great price. I heart the tamales. Small but inviting. Grab the burrito and head outside. read more

Teocalli Tamale - Mexican - Mexican Near Me - Crested Butte, Colorado

I'm confused as to why this place has so many good reviews. Stiff, cold tortillas. Dry steak. Guac was turning brown and tasted like it was out of the single serving containers they sell at costco. If you are looking for authentic Mexican, don't expect it here. Guac, 6 tacos, and 2 burritos for $90 super disappointing. read more

Stopped for lunch, had the tamales plate. Was epic! Will return again next time in town.

Restaurants, stores, and bars come and go on Elk Street, but Teocalli Tamale remains. A fixture in Crested Butte for over twenty years, Teocalli Tamale is the place to go to get a hearty, tasty meal after spending a morning and/or afternoon outdoors. Community favorites include the Piggy Pork (shredded pork drenched in pineapple, tomatillo, chipotle, garlic sauce) and Mike's Mex-o-Lina (spicy shredded beef -- ask to add sautéed bell peppers) in taco or burrito form. Needless to say, their tamales are a hit as well. A collection of unusual bottles of hot sauces, displayed in a wall rack, are available to add a little more heat and adventure to your visit. A variety of beverages are available, including uncommon sodas and beer. Each dish is prepared one by one as the customer interacts with a friendly employee stationed in the kitchen. At checkout, food can be packaged for sit down or take out. While there is seating inside, this is not the most comfortable place when the order line makes its way down the one aisle and out the door. Consider taking order to go -- even the margaritas can be prepared as take out. Note: the execution of dishes (proportion of ingredients) can vary depending on who takes the order. read more

So this cute teeny tiny place is a must for tamales. The line typically long but can go pretty fast. There are options for seating but it can fill up pretty fast. The menu has lots of options as far as burritos and plates they suggest. However if you would like to build your own burrito you can do that instead. Today I got the tamale plate with the vegetarian option-green Chile and cheese. They put beans and rice at the bottom of the plate pit tamales on top and then a choice of salsa and cilantro. It was pretty tasty. The tamales were perfect. I was not a huge fan of the rice and beans, they just didn't have enough flavor for me. But if you like plain rice and beans then it will be perfect for your taste buds. There is an option to order tamales by themselves as well. So I highly suggest you grab a dozen or half dozen to take with you. read more

Always a line here, and there's a reason! Delicious, authentic, diverse Mexican food. The staff works hard and is always pleasant, this eatery never disappoints. read more

Walked by this place a couple times and eventually said, YEP. Glad we did! We ordered two tamale plates (one pork, one cheese) and they were served on rice with beans and topped with green chili sauce, cilantro, and sour cream. Plates were about $13, but you can order tamales a La Carte for $3.25ish. They have burritos and tacos as well. Chips and salsa available as well as beers, margaritas, and a fountain soda machine. We were the only ones in there for a bit (yay for Covid distancing!) place has about 10-12 total tables. My only recommendation is having multiple sauce options as a topping. I'd like to have had a red sauce and green sauce option. They do have a restroom for customers. read more

Very impressive tamale house in downtown Crested Butte. Put in the 17 mile roundtrip trek on the mountain of the same name east of town, come back to CB, warm up and reward yourself at this gem of a high country restaurant. Get a half dozen of the red and a half dozen of the green and share with your hiking buddies or keep them all for yourself. If you're summiting the nearby peaks, you earned it! read more

Really good burritos! My wife came in high school and raved about it so we stopped by on our recent trip. I got the steak burrito with rice and beans and added queso. The queso was the star addition! Service was quick and everyone was very friendly. After a long day in town or being active this place hits the spot! If you're not starving split one. They are BIG! read more

Their specialty is tamales, so I ordered them with pork, there was only the thinnest schmear of meat, it was all corn filling and then that was tasteless. My partner had a steak burrito and was ok with it. read more

Teocalli Tamale - Tamale that is supposed to have pork, but where is it?! - Mexican Near Me - Crested Butte, Colorado

The tamales were terrible The food was terrible and the service wasn't very good and the people weren't really that friendly

Headed there at 6:30pm for 3 corn tortilla chicken tacos and 2 mild tamales on a Tuesday night. The good: The 2 employees working were super friendly and the tacos were "good" The bad: $15 for 3 tacos that honestly are about the same as 3 Taco Bell tacos. The tamales were small, had minimal filling, soggy and no husk wrap. TBH, they were the worse tamales I've eaten. I was so disappointed as most of my eatery experiences in CB have been great. I say avoid at all costs. read more

This is essentially a supped up chipotle/qdoba/illegal Petes, which I'm all about! Prior to use eating here, we were discussing how there is essentially no fast casual dining, however, this is it you guys! We all got tacos and they loaded them up which was nice. Tasty, quick, and cheaper bite than many other places! read more

Native to Arizona and Mexican blood running thru our veins we know true authentic taste . On our last day in Crested Butte we wanted a bite unlike anything we had flavored thus far in Colorado. So we headed to try out the locals take on some Mexican Jammies--- Dayum !!... Could it GET anybetter than to experience this kind of flavor of in this beautiful scenery ! FAF is exactly what you think I said FRESH AF. Tasty, hearty, fresh ingredients, very helpful service, add ons easy, line out the door and still served up proper. That staff needs a raise! They rise to the occasion and make it happen ! Hells yes hot dayum we will be comin back time and time again ! read more

The tortillas they use for the burrito reminded me of those highly processed Mission tortillas you can buy at the grocery store. They weren't even toasted, we could barely eat it. At the $14-$16 price point per burrito, that's not what I expect no matter where I am. On top of that, we found the staff to be unprofessional and incompetent. When we walked in and said hi to the guy behind the counter, he seemed to be mocking me and the woman behind the register was laughing at him. When I asked for sour cream, he didn't put it on and when I said I wanted the hot chipotle salsa, he put the verde on. The bill came out to $50, what a rip off. read more

Best Mexican spot in crested butte! Teocalli is a walk in, order, sit down, and they bring out your food kind of place. Small menu but delicious. Food - the guacamole is dynamite! The beef and chicken tacos are amazing. The red tamale with meat is good too. I wasn't a fan of the green tamale, as it was just cheese and green Chile sauce. It was unbelievably spicy (and I like heat), but too spicy to enjoy. Drinks - talk about the biggest margaritas! Although they are large and relatively inexpensive, my belly hurt after just a few sips. Super sweet margarita mix and cheap tequila will do that to you. Overall delicious and the cooks working there are super cool read more

This is one of the best spots in down to grab a quick bite! The service is fast and great. Not a lot of seating options, but the food is great. The burrito was delicious, the chicken is amazing and it is easy to devour when you are hungry. I got the hot salsa, and be careful, because it is very very spicy! The marg was okay, I could tell it was a mix, not fresh made. For a easy meal and consistent burritos, great spot in Crested Butte! read more

Teocalli Tamale - Burrito, burrito plate, chips and hot salsa, and margaritas - Mexican Near Me - Crested Butte, Colorado

Rude service from the owner, they closed 40 minutes before their close time of 9pm on a Friday night.

Quick true mex joint in CB. We did chicken tacos, steak tacos and the tamale plate. The tamales were perfection. You can choose your shell type, beans and toppings. You order at the counter and then sit. It's a small space so it packs out but it's also easy to take to go. They also have Mexican cokes and stoked staff. The pork chili was aye carumba!! read more

Great service and food! They make the food at the counter when you order it. I enjoyed three types of tacos with three different salsas because I love trying a variety! My fiance had a massive slow-cooked beef burrito. Very tasty overall. Friendly staff as well! read more

We purchased two dozen mild tamales for dinner at the condo. They were absolutely amazing, and the family loved them!

The food at Teo is incredible - quality,fresh, tasty, and reliable. I love the teocalli chicken thai burrito, double decker tacos, the green chile stew, tamales, and queso. The staff is friendly and helpful. I wouldn't miss this gem! Definitely the best casual restaurant in Crested Butte. You can tell they make everything with a lot of love! read more

The staff and vibe says it all....very welcoming and ready to make you a huge delicious burrito! My fav is the Piggy Pork and their chips and queso...so good! A place you must stop and eat if passing through. read more

Great prices, food is tastingly outstanding, service is phenomenal. The teocalli Thai is the best burrito I've ever had other than all the rest of the burritos they make. When I lived here in the 90's I'd eat here with my family usually on Saturday afternoons and it became a routined tradition. read more

We tumbled out of the car after a long drive up from Denver and landed here thinking it was a branch of the Teocali we know and live in Lafayette, CO. The food was alright. It squashed our hunger pains. But if you're looking for truly excellent tamales probably don't get them in a mountain town. Aside from that, the staff was kind, we were able to find seating, and we left satisfied. Overall, I do recommend this place. read more

Great food, great vibe, very friendly service. Possibly closed on great powder days. A great Crested Butte tradition.

When we ate here, we had just walked out of Donita's (make sure you go read that one-star review!). The food here was okay. I had tamales. They put rice, beans, and tamales on a plate and poured their version of chili on top. I ate most of it. Like I said, it was okay, but nothing to write home about. read more

Teocalli Tamale - You might like this place. I thought it was okay. - Mexican Near Me - Crested Butte, Colorado

Still my favorite place for gluten free eating. The hard shell tacos are my go to. Excellent salsa options. Quality meats and great seasoning. The margs are a great bargain and you can sometimes get them to go. Staff is super friendly. read more

We tried the chicken burrito and steak tacos. Large portions and seemingly good ingredients, but the burrito very bland and had no flavor other than from a bit of salsa verde. Made with care by the woman who took our order. read more

Burritos were amazing! Kind of a chipotle style ordering system that we weren't expecting but overall the place was pretty inviting and food was bomb read more

Loved the salsas and the guacamole. My cocktail was good. However, I had the pork carnitas plate and it was a large proportion of desiccated meat. Pouring salsa over it didn't make it edible. read more

Meh, just ok. Fast service, super friendly folks. Just not enough flavor on the tacos. We got both the steak and chicken tacos. Margaritas were weak. Cheap enough though ($5 a taco). read more

Costco ingredients, served from a filthy kitchen. Absolutely nothing special. Ordered bag of chips, I got a bag of crumbs.

Best burritos in town! Highly recommend! They also have great margaritas too! Burrito Bowl is amazing! Green Chili Tamales are awesome! read more

Great Mexican food! Tamales, tacos, burritos and the best guacamole. Our go to whenever we visit CB. read more

We had some bad-a$$ burritos here. Everything is made to order. While we were enjoying our fab burritos we couldn't help but drool over the tacos some others were having. Counter service, nice decor. LOVE the couple of previous year hand-notated posters where they said they were 'closed til noon' so they could hit the slopes. Each date and snow quantity noted. The meats-- which are typically the defining element of a burrito, taco, etc-- fabulous!! You won't be disappointed. read more

We've been to Teocalli a few times and would highly recommend it whether you're looking for burritos, tacos or, my favorite, tamales. Everything tastes super fresh and, if you love to spice things up, ask to try the hot sauces that have such a kick they have to be kept behind the counter. The guys that work at Teocalli are incredibly friendly which is much appreciated. read more
