Got the shrimp tacos. I asked if it was possible to get chicken instead of the fried shrimp. The waitress had to ask her manager and apparently they could not accommodate that. Makes no sense how they can’t accommodate that. Had to ask for napkins even though the waitress said she was bringing some. Had to walk up to the register to ask for utensils and I apparently was bothering the waitress who just got there and was entering in her tickets. We ordered the nachos with a corn salsa and chicken or something, wasn’t good at all. Looked like a kid from home ec class made it. The fried shrimp tacos were underwhelming at best. Shrimp clearly frozen and tasted old. The cilantro lime slaw, was bland, and the pineapple looked and tasted like it came from a can. The server checked on us a few times but again forgot napkins and utensils. The price of the food is outrageous for a menu that clearly lacks quality ingredients.

Okay, first off, I grew up in California, where you can’t throw a rock without hitting a Mexican food restaurant. So, it’s hard to impress me. Not being a jerk, it’s just that I know the cuisine… Te’kela took it to the next level! The cheese enchiladas was creamy and perfectly melted with a great mouth feel. The Fajita shrimp burrito was a huge surprise! Rice and beans were perfect. (We’ve gotten some bad stuff before.) The pork sliders with the Chipotle BBQ sauce was inspired. I never EVER would have thought that the best Mexican food I’d ever eat would be in Ohio. I can not wait to have some of our California visiting friends to try this place out!
It was ok but nothing special, our waitress could have cared less about us.

I was pleasantly surprised by the food and the service. Food was very tasty and did not take long. I came at Happy hour and drinks were half off. Wasn’t drinking but will definitely come back another time. Server was a young lady who was super friendly and I didn’t have to ask her for anything. I’m glad I found this spot. Even the manager came to my table to check on me. Bathrooms were clean and modern. I will be back. I just moved here from Texas so it takes a lot to impress me with food.

Stopped for lunch. Sat at the bar. Service was great. Taco salads were wonderful! Will be back!!
Had reservations that were made a week ago for my daughters birthday. Our Table was short chairs. We asked to pull up another table that was empty and it ‘wasn’t possible’ because another party was coming in but were told we could wait for a different group to leave that took 2 of our chairs. So our group was split. Plenty of room and tables so there was zero excuse for this. Our waitress was terrible!!!! Several of us have worked as waitresses in the past so we would never ‘run’ her or be disrespectful, She never offered refills, we had to ask other staff for boxes for food, some food came out cold and wrong. We did not complain about any of this. We will not be going back. So disappointing.Parking: Not enough spaces for the size of the restaurant.

Ordered food for the family to go. Every dish was made incorrectly and as sloppy as can be. Management would not return our money. They put cold toppings on top of hot food which was wilted by the time I got it home. This place is a joke. Terrible bland food and terrible customer service. There are plenty of other restaurants in the area that care about their customers and the food they offer.

Absolutely terrible experience. Ordered 3 carnitas burritos and they were all incorrect. Not to mention the food was also cold. Management refused to make it right.

Good Mexican food. A little more pricy for regular meals. But we will be back much more in the future. Servers are great. Happy hour is great. Appetizers are great and the margaritas are great.

I have eaten at Tekelas for years without a problem. I just had a 60th surprise birthday party for my wife. The staff from beginning to end were nothing but helpful and nice to me, my family and friends .
