Reviews of El Tejate Restaurant
"The tejate was a nice experience. I've never had the drink before so it was good just to try it out. He checked in regularly with the tables he had which was cool. I got the mole negro burrito and it was HUGE I don't think anyone can finish it in one sitting. Personally I'm more of a brown mole person instead bc I like the chocolate taste but I wanted to try the mole negro and it was good, had a spiciness to it."
"Portions are worth your every penny. Everything was well seasoned. They didn't offer aguas frescas and their non alcoholic refreshments were limited however their food is great! My kids who are picky eaters devoured the quesadillas. My favorite was the Torta. Plenty of parking available in the back and also allows for good flow of entry and exit from the premises. Restroom facilities are shared with the Thai restaurant next door but very well maintained. Will def come here again!"
"Authentic Mexican food ! The same as you would receive in Oaxaca Mexico !! Everything was authentic even the service !! Excellent stop after Legoland , my family was very happy with this choice"
"Homemade tortillas, mole, salsas, rice, beans, everything ! What an amazing meal! Everything is homemade and made from scratch. The ingredients are so fresh, the owner is so kind! We were very impressed! The Mexican good here is very authentic and comes fro the state of Oaxaquena. This place should be on Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives without a doubt!"
"The good: The food is delicious, and the margaritas well made. You definitely need to try the enchiladas or the chile relleno (with delicious corn tortillas on the side). This is not the typical Mexican fare you get locally since the food is more Oaxacan style rather than the usual Baja Californian style you usually see in Southern California. If you like moles and tlayudas, then it is definitely worth a visit. Tomas is very hospitable and friendly. The not so good: While Tomas is very hospitable, and friendly, the service here is extremely slow. Basically it is ONLY Tomas usually running the whole show: seating; taking orders; waiting tables; bartending; bussing and cleaning tables (using a very strong smelling cleaner!). In addition, there seems to be only one or two cooks, so once ordered, food is very slow to come out. What it means for the customer is waiting -a LOT of waiting… to be seated (no hostess, just a bell to ring and eventually Tomas will be by to seat you); to get chips; to get drinks ordered; to get food. Tomas is literally running around trying to “do it all”. They REALLY need extra help all around. Also, the building itself has seen better days and seems to be in poor shape (it is a shared building with a Thai restaurant); and has a musty;mildewy smell to it. It also lacks ambiance: the tables and chairs have also seen better days; and while your margarita drinks are in glasses; water is served in plastic cups; and while your food is on plates, you get plastic forks and knives. Even the front door to the restaurant feels more like you’re going into a dive bar rather than a restaurant. There seems to be a lot of this dichotomy going on. And finally, there’s the menu - or more specifically the prices on the menu. Whatever you see there, chuck it out - they are just plain wrong. They do have a sticker on the front of the menu that states: “some items will have an additional charge due to current supply costs.” What this means in the real world: Chile Relleno: $15.99 menu price/$16.99 charged; Margaritas: $8.99 menu price/$10.99 charged; Mrmelitas appetizer: $8.99 menu price/$9.99 charged. Only one item out of 5 was charged the menu price. To top that off, they overcharged the sales tax (8% instead of 7.75% tax rate for Carlsbad). Final conclusion: The food makes this place worth it. Honestly some of the best in town. Just plan on staying awhile."
