Everything we ordered had so much flavor. Salsa (especially the red) is really amazing. We tried the steak tacos, steak torta, Al pastor tacos, chicken tamale, and quesadilla. Everything was fantastic. The flavor of the Al pastor was on point. My husband and I both grew up in Chicago and have had our fair share of Mexican food, we have 4 places within a few blocks of us and this one beats out all of them. I’d rather take a 10 minute drive to go get food from here!

Ordered a torta dinner and it was delicious. One of the best torta’s I’ve had. Fresh bread! Good salsa’s. Pretty large menu, they also had pozole that I will come back to

11/07/23 - Taco Tuesday time to try some place else. El Tejado Mexican Grill is located on Central Ave just north of Devon on the east side of Central. My wife ordered a pork taco and a chicken taco. The pork was pretty good but the chicken was totally bland & tasteless. I ordered the 3 taco dinner. 2 fried pork tacos were excellent & 1 shrimp taco that was breaded & not that good. The rice & beans were also bland & tasteless. If I go back again I will get the fried pork tacos as they were outstanding.

Very delicious traditional Mexican food, it is also friendly. With parking spaces in the back. My family loves it.

The beef burrito hardly had beef, packed with carrots and under cooked potatoes that were hard. Lots of lettuce. Never again. Over priced.

BEST Birria I have had to date - bar none! I was nervous and skeptical but so glad I tried ! Also tried their shrimp taco. It was good, only had about three fried small shrimps inside but overall it was good and tasty with a quality fresh tortilla and lechuga (lettuce).Got the Birria dinner. The dinner comes with two Birria tacos + beans and rice. They also offer another Birria dinner without beans and rice comes with three instead of two. I'd recommend getting the dinner with beans and rice because the beans were divine! It's so difficult to perfect a homemade bean and these reminded me a lot of my grandmas beans ; exceptional!Friendly fast service as well !

Places like these are the reason why south siders are so critical of Mexican food on the north side. I ordered the steak burrito and I didn't get past one bite. It was gross beyond words. Someone else mentioned in the comments that the steak doesn't taste like steak. That's putting it mildly. I also ordered some chicken tacos, but I ended up tossing them. People would be better off just getting tacos at Burger King. That's how much this place sucks.

Ordered this and picked it up to eat while at Begyle and it was good! Everyone really loves their meals.
