El Tejate Restaurant

Lenore Steuber

El Tejate Restaurant is a delightful gem in Escondido! 🌮 The ambience is warm and inviting, perfect for a cozy dinner. I tried the carne asada tacos, and they were bursting with flavor - incredibly tender beef paired with fresh toppings. The homemade salsa elevated the dish even more!

Don’t miss their horchata; it’s refreshingly sweet and a great complement to the meal.

The only thing I wished for was a broader vegetarian selection, but overall, a fantastic experience that I can't wait to repeat! Can't recommend it enough! 🎉

It's definitely great to see and feel a little bit of Oaxaca here in Escondido.
The restaurant reminds me a lot of visiting my parents' homeland and the rancho of all things.
Overall, the colors and the food options look fantastic on their menu.
I've had a few things over the years from their options, tho was disappointed with my last visit.
The meats seemed overcooked, and there was a hair found in the dish as well, which pretty much ruined my appetite that day.
Services was a bit slow, but it was a breakfast dine in visit so I could understand why.
The chips were a bit stale, tho the salsa provided was what saved it.
Overall not the best visit I've had there, and I won't attempt to try them again.
But who knows, maybe your experience could go better.

Went with my friend from Sinaloa and she was impressed ! They have some very delicious Oxacan food here 😋

Food is home made and fresh.
It is from Oaxaca , so is a little bit different from the usual Mexican food .
It is more authentic.
Chile relleno was one of the best i had.
Tortillas are hand made .
Tacos are big a super good.
Just wish they have a mild salsa.
But definitely worth to try it.
Waitresses was nice and friendly, little slow service because it was only one waitresses for all the tables.
Love this place we will come back!!❤️
