Amazing food. My family ate here twice while in Crested Butte because we liked it so much. The meat is high quality and flavorful. They provide fast service too. The salsa verde and hot salsa were both so good. I got burritos both times and I can honestly say they were some of the best burritos I have ever had. read more

By far, the best place to eat in town. The food was fresh, hot, and cooked quickly. Plus, the service was excellent. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They constantly smiled and offered to help carry drinks to our table. They opened the doors ten minutes earlier because they didn't want us to stand in the cold. One of the managers walked around and introduced himself to each table and asked if we needed anything. Crested Butte tends to have a lot of employees who are disgruntled and obviously working there for the mountain. At Teocalli Tamale, I have no doubts that they are there for the same reason, but they don't show it. I would recommend this place over and over and over. Good job. read more

A Crested Butte staple, Teo has been serving up deliciousness since before I arrived in the valley 7 years ago. Everyone knows it...there really is no better option for affordable, quality chow up-valley. The tacos are my go-to here, but let's be real..it's all good. Make sure to try Mike's Mexicali as a meat option...Flavortown, USA read more

Excellent Mexican place in CB. Small but inviting atmosphere and terrific food. We tried the mikes mex-o-lina and the chicken tacos. Both were very solid selections. Also able to wash it down with a nice Dale's Pale ale which was welcomed after a long day on the slopes. Definitely recommend should your travels bring you to the butte! read more

Teocalli Tamale - The inside, we were the last customers of the day - Mexican Near Me - Crested Butte, Colorado

See all

Definitely will be back. This place has a cool scene and the food is good. If you are looking for a good burrito place then you should try this place. Awesome people working here as well. If you have a big enough gap in your teeth then you get a discount! Awesome spot. read more

Excellent salsa, service, and cute little spot on Main Street. We had the three chicken tacos and tamale plate (one pork and one vegetable smothered in green chile). Everything was pretty average besides the salsa which was great - try the hot and green. I was expecting a little more flavor with the tacos and tamales. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch and I'm so glad we did! It's a small space but with serious local charm. Had three tacos, a steak, chicken and shredded beef... shredded beef was our favorite and the corn salsa is a must! Wish I photo to post, but we ate it all so quickly! Yum yum yum. We'll be back. read more

This place is a staple. My go to is the veggie burrito but the Mike's Mexolina is also very tasty. Take it home, keep the burrito wrapped, and put it in the oven for 30 minutes and let all the flavors mesh together. Incredible. read more

These are the best burritos ever! This place has it dialed and dealt with the crowd of kids very well. The shredded pork and corn salsa is so good we ended up coming back two days in a row! read more

We love this place! Food is fresh and tastes great. Prices are reasonable and servings are a good size. If you expect 5 star gourmet, go to Soupçon in CB or a big city restaurant. Hootowl read more

Had an early dinner here and it was great! Staff is friendly and the food is fresh and very good - the burritos give the most bang for your buck (since most everything on the menu is around $10) and they are HUGE! Definitely recommend stopping here while in CB! read more

Awesome little hole in the wall. Great burritos and tacos. Always on my list to stop by at when I come to town.

The boys behind the counter were super sweet and made me the best burrito! It was huge and made for delicious leftovers later! Great atmosphere and vibes all around. Hopefully they get more powder days this upcoming season! read more

This is the perfect place to stop in post hike/bike/run for a burrito. The tortillas they use for the burritos are delicious. It's small but tables seem to turn over quickly. read more

This place is usually busy for a reason, they have awesome super strong margaritas which will get you drunk very quickly. The margarita is just the right sweetness, unlike many house margaritas which are filled with syrup, these guys know how to pour a margarita that doesn't make you feel like you just drink a giant Slurpee. read more

Just great tamales and tacos, with excellent flavor and fresh, high quality ingredients. Like Chipotle, but way more flavor and yumminess. Not to mention it's incredibly cheap for CB and perfect for a regular lunch visit. Also, the service is great with friendly staff, and they handle large crowds very swiftly even during lunch rush, so wait time is minimal. It can be hard to find a seat though in such a small restaurant. Overall, definitely a worthwhile Mexican American joint in CB if you want cheaper but well done food! read more

Chipotle and Qdoba haven't got sh*t on Teocalli Tamale. Best burrito you'll ever have. Fast, nice guys behind the counter, and always fresh. This is the best lunch available in Crested Butte. Just as delicious in the winter as it is refreshing in the summer. Throw it back with a cool beer. Treat yourself by ordering the Mike's Mexolina and requesting fajita mix to be added. read more

I'm really shocked by the reviews because we found the food to be suuuuper bland, soggy, and pretty lacking. I got a quarter way through my burrito, attempting to doctor it with hot sauce and salt but I felt like I was forcing it down so I stopped eating it. My hubs had the tamales and the masa was just okay. The green chile was the only thing that hinted towards Mexican flavor. Staff is really nice and the location is cool so I think three stars is fair. If you know goooood Mexican food, this probably isn't your jam. read more

Truly awesome tacos! So fresh and flavorful. I eat wheat, egg and dairy free so I was having problems finding a place to eat. This place was a great option! Good sized portions and such a great taste. Can't wait to come back again! read more

One of our favorite stops, usually twice when we visit. The shredded beef and corn salsa is yum. It is super casual, but always welcoming.

First time here. My wife-unit complained to me that if my vegetarian daughter-unit had gotten what she had the veggie would not have been pleased because there was meat in it. It all came clear when I ate mine and discovered it had no meat in it. I ordered another and ate both and both were good. I like the attitude of the people behind the counter and I like the signs that inform that opening will occur at twelve on powder days. read more

The absolute best! I am so picky with fish tacos and these knocked it out of the park! All of the food was fresh and delicious. Not to mention the margaritas-a must have! My husband also loved his pork burrito. I don't think you can really go wrong here. Make sure to stop in while in CB. We will be going back! Thank you for a great anniversary dinner! read more

I thought by reading the reviews this place would be delicious...wow, the reviews are really off. We ordered the steak tacos and it was very disappointing. The beef had NO flavor at all. The red salsa was, gross. They really need to learn how to season meat, it was like steak cooked with nothing, no salt, no pepper, no seasoning at all. The salsa was so watery it made the tortillas soggy. And on top of that the beef was tough and chewy. $10.00 for three tacos was a rip off. Will never go back here again. read more

This was a very good stop in our travels. Friendly staff and fresh food. The spicy meat was perfect. It was after 2 pm but, it seemed like the lunch crowd had just started. It was busy. They moved people through quickly and efficiently. Customers all had a pleased look on their faces. Guac was very good as were the margaritas. read more

Best Mexican food in CB. Try the off-the-menu double shell taco (crispy shell wrapped in soft tortilla, stuck together with guac). Great service too. read more

Great and fast Mexican food. Great service and huge portions. A Crested Butte must after a long bike ride or day on the mountain.

Tacos are excellent! Tamales could use some help but still decent. Salsa was also great. Nice change of pace from the other spots in CB. Plus they close until noonish on pow days. Nice! read more

So good! After eating out around town for a few days, I found this place. Huge portions unlike most of the other restaurants. It's also way cheaper than any other place in town. I had the Thai burrito and it was full of flavors. I recommend this place if you are hungry and don't want to spend a lot of money. The only bad thing is it's a little small inside and not good for groups. However, take it to go and eat it on a bench somewhere downtown and watch the bike riders go by. read more

Always friendly, fresh, and delicious! A staple in Crested Butte!

Awesome local lunch stop! My aunt brought me here during her lunch break, and she literally knew everyone who came into the joint! The portions are generous, and made to order....I had Mike's Mexolina shredded beef soft tacos....they were fresh, made to order, and had just the right amount of spice! Added corn salsa and fresh verde salsa, it was a nice treat! As a San Diego baja mexican food snob, I will say that Teocalli definitely earned my approval. Doubly so because it was obviously the local lunch hot spot, and I'm all about supporting the local businesses in one of my favorite ski towns! read more

Been here many times during my visits to Crested Butte. This is my main lunch time staple after a morning of riding. Their shredded beef is very good, as is their fish tacos and tamales. I haven't had a bad item here! read more

Had lunch here at what is now an "old" establishment in CB, Excellent food and tho there was aline it moved very quickly. Everyone very friendly. Seating is a bit uncomfortable, but for short duration it is doable. Big issue I have with this place is cost. Clearly hitting the tourist season big time....could easily do what they do for 15% less on prices. But you can make up your mind yourself. Very tasty read more

Inexpensive no-frills counter-service Mission-style burritos as well as tacos and tamales. The tamales were authentic and really excellent. I'd eat here again for sure. read more

The mikes mexi tale tacos were outstanding(spicy shredded beef). Definitely will make it back

Great food! The tamales are outstanding! You should for sure stop in Teocalli Tamale. One of our fave places in the Butte

Would have been 5 stars if the fish tacos that I enjoyed multiple visits ago would have been available the last few visits. Tacos and other dishes are otherwise very good. read more

Super disappointed with Teocalli Tamale. We based our visit on the raving Yelp reviews and I've had better meals at Taco Bell. The chips were cheap and fresh out of a bag, the chicken fajijita burrito was pretty tasteless, as was the green chile on the tamales. We spent $30 on our meal and left completely disappointed. :-( read more

The best. Been going for 10 years. Almost named our son after this place. While in CB this place is a must.

Great little tamale and burrito stand! Pork tamales were a little bland but fresh, and the veggie tamales were quite good! Not quite authentic Mexican but very tasty! read more

i wasn't expecting much, but i was pleasantly surprised by their tamales. i ended up getting both the mild red chile&pork and the spicier green chile&cheese and both were pretty good. the tamale was thinner than i was used to and the masa was more white than yellow and for a lack of a better word, slippery (i'm used to the masa being a little more fluffier and dry), i'd definitely come back if i ever come back to crested butte. the service was great, beer was ice cold, and the margaritas were good. my friend had the fish tacos and while it was okay, the fish was a bit fishy tasting, but that's something i expected. all in all, a good experience. yay tamales! read more
