    Carne asada plate
    Randy C.

    Tixteco is the place to try homemade Mexican food. Everything is made by hand, there are no shortcuts. I had the carne asada plate which was full of flavor, and the grilled onions hit the spot. My wife had the mole and from the little I tired it tastes how my aunt makes back in Mexico. This is the place to go for truly authentic Mexican food.

    The food here is incredible and the owners are just the sweetest! I don't know why this place isn't packed. It's like if you went to your grandma's house and had dinner. Everything we ate was so delicious. I had the mole and an al pastor taco. My husband had the carne asada, and my friend tried a taco, Gordita and a quesadilla. We all got aguas. My husband and I the tamarindo and my friend had the Jamaica. I really think this is now my favorite Mexican restaurant. I can't wait to go back and try their posole!

    Ordered a red tamal (options are green or red). It was so good! Like my mom used to make. Fought over bites of it with my husband. Also ordered chicken torta, American taco (beef) and a Taco tilapia. Food disappeared too fast for pics of tacos. I ate a bite of my torta before I remembered to take a picture. So so happy! Definitely authentic and definitely worth a trip! We will be returning for more soon!

    Excellent food. Very fresh and authentic. The service and ambiance are great as well. Cute patio when the weather is right. We tried the morcajete recently and it was amazing.

    Red and green pozole
    Jen M.

    I saw a Facebook post from Tixteco today; Pozole Thursday, and the picture looked amazing so I convinced my friends to join me (this was not difficult, they had also seen the picture). I tell you - we were not disappointed. You can choose red, green, or white, with pork or chicken. The owner was friendly and I knew immediately it was going to be good, because it's obvious she CARES. About the food, the customers, the staff, everything. We asked about the soups; I think that she said that the green wasn't very hot and the red really wasn't too hot. Well, I got the red, and obviously it's hot, right? You can even tell just looking at the picture! It's just not TOO hot. But be aware that if you want low spice, go for the white pozole. So delicious! Comes with a little plate of toppings and she also brought out a little plate of flautas for us, she said they are the ones she makes for her staff. These were the best flautas I have ever had! So it was a really special meal, and you know I love it when they start it with a basket of chips and a couple squeeze bottles of delicious and hot house-made salsa. This is the good stuff...all of it was the good stuff.

    The best Caldo de Res

    We stopped on our way from Colorado to Chicago and found this gem in the middle of our trip. We stopped at 8pm and were the only ones in the restaurant, but we still got a very good service and the best tasting Mexican food. Found out that the owners are from Chicago as well, so that explains the quality of the food. Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to eat a good authentic Mexican dish.

    Huevos rancheros
    Morgan C.

    In from out of town, needed some breakfast. Didn't want to wait the hour and a half on a Sunday morning for a certain breakfast club across town. Big thanks to the barista at Archetype for the neighborhood recommendation. We swung right over, sat down, had a very nice server take care of us, and in short order, had two piping hot plates of huevos rancheros in front of us. So good. And I'm guessing our check was... Substantially less... Than some hip, trendy destination brunch spot. Would definitely eat here again!

    Chicken Burrito Americano

    Good food, friendly service and the fruit smoothie was to die for. Found this gem on referral from friends and was not disappointed. Pleased to see they serve breakfast as well.

    Beef Tongue Torta
    Michelle M.

    This place has a great website. It's very easy to order online and go pick it up. The food was ready on time and staff was friendly. I would like to go back and try a free more items. I tried the Beef Tongue Torta sandwich along with a bowl of fresh fruit. The portions were definitely large. The Torta sandwich was very good. The bottom layer of the sandwich was refried beans. I've never had beans on a Torta before, but I liked it. This was followed by lettuce, tomato, and guacamole. The beef tongue was tender, slightly salty, but the salt blended well when eaten with the rest of the sandwich. The side of fruit was Huge! It had oranges, mango, grapes and green apples in it, so it was citrusy and tart. It went well with the sandwich. I am eager to go back and try the Menudo!

Not only is the food incredible, but the staff are the absolute best and the ambiance is very welcoming and comfortable. We started with some chips and dips, and the queso was delicious. It was the perfect amount of spice but still creamy and cheesy. The salsas were also very flavorful and a great start to our meal. I chose to get the carne asada for dinner and it was absolutely AMAZING. The steak was so juicy and tender, and seasoned to perfection. I was so impressed, and it was perfectly paired with some tortillas de maiz, the guacamole, and rice and beans. I would absolutely get this meal again. Not only was the food delicious, but the staff were incredibly sweet, helpful, and provided great recommendations. I will absolutely be returning here again!

The place used to be an Old Chicago, so it's a little funny being in there but it was clean and well taken care of.

The service was fantastic, and it felt like a true family restaurant. The chips were so good, and the salsa was spicy but not too much for people with sensitive palates. I love this style of chips, not a thin restaurant style but a thicker, more savory bite. We went through one portion before our food got to us and they brought more out when I asked. I highly recommend the tacos. I made a mistake and asked for birria not quesabirria tacos, so make sure to specify that if you want quesabirria (with cheese). But, the birria was good anyways! I also got the taco macho (see the pic for what's inside), and wish I would've ordered 2 of those! My husband got the huitlacoche and squash blossom tacos and they were both so good. I was so impressed they had huitlacoche as an option, I've never seen that before! The drinks were ordered and delivered from the server, but she said since they're working on a liquor license they have a bar next door that makes them. If you order a drink with your food, they charge for the drinks and food separate for that reason. I liked my jalapeño margarita! My husband got a cantarito and said it's the best one he's had from all the places we've tried to far!

The streetcar boondoggle is not affecting their block so parking is available. Decor is calming. I did not opt for an adult beverage as they were a bit pricey and I needed to retain focus. Settled on chicken enchiladas. Very tasty with some kick. The cheese was drizzled on top rather than baked through. Service was exceptionally friendly, I suspect from the bartender/proprietor. Would definitely return if in the area, but for now I am generally avoiding streetcar construction chaos. If you are downtown anyway, go.
