Tecalitlán Mexican Restaurant 3207 Northwest Avenue, Bellingham, WA 98225

"For $6.99, I got a very reasonable burrito. And if you eat on-site, they give you big ketchup bottles filled with salsa! I’m a sauce person, so this makes me so happy. Two people eating out for around $16 is not manageable at many places, and it’s what usually you’d pay for ONE meal instead. You also get chips & salsa with your meal. Of course it isn’t the best food ever, but it’s still good, and we will come back here many more times because we appreciate affordable food. Plus, the restaurant is clean and the employees are always polite. The carne asada fries are also very good, so sometimes we’ll take an order home and air-fry it for our next meal. It air fries really well and is delicious!"

"Excellent taste explosion. I recommend getting the green and red sauces early as the salsa that came with the chips was the only blandish bite we had and immediately fixed by mixing our desired heat scale. We ordered the Carne Asada, Pollo Asada and Pozole. One roasted jalapeno and six lime wedges brought the freshness of the chicken and beef and the layers of flavor worked into these plates to an exceptional level. My wife found the hominy in her Pozole fresh and flavorful and different from the textures of so many canned preparations we've tasted. The addition of yet another Mexican restaurant to northwest ave is a welcome occasion."

"These tacos were excellent, just onions and cilantro, the way it should be! The house "green" sauce was perfect heat. Go red sauce for more..."

"This happened to be the first Tecalitlan regional Mexican resto that I've tried in Bellingham and I see there were several of this family of restos in the vicinity. I was looking for a proper dine-in location rather than just a food truck. This location was very new, clean and the booths were comfy. Also the guy at the counter was very helpful in explaining all the different menu items. I was impressed with the size of the Carne Asada. Salsa was spicy and fresh. Would like to try all the other Teca's in the area now that this one tasted so good."

"This is such a cool new place here in Bellingham. The garden in the back is a great place to relax and enjoy some good food, the inside is nice and comfy, the food was good, and the server/host was kind. Check it out. Worth it."
