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!

Quesadilla
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.

Carne Asada Tacos
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.

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 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.

Dang! I meant to take a foodie but once I saw the dish I just dug in. This is where you want to go if you’re tired of Mexican food out of a can. The taste is made from scratch and seasoned nicely. The portions are super generous. Please know that this is order at the counter service and the delicious sauces come in plastic squeeze bottles. That said this place will be one of my regulars.
We moved here from San Antonio and believe me when I say we know great and authentic Mexican food. We were so looking forward to trying this restaurant and extremely disappointed in what we found. I always try enchiladas because they’re so simple, but what I got was a plate of cold (so cold!), tasteless rice and beans with cold enchiladas covered in some thin, runny red sauce and piled up with bland iceberg lettuce and tomatoes. Seriously, cold and no flavor. I was really hungry and didn’t even finish a third because nothing could save it. Husband ordered posole, which was also bland and disappointing. His came with chips and salsa, which turned out to be Rico’s stadium nacho chips and Pace picante salsa. Disgusting. We won’t be back. Do yourself a favor and go to Neto’s instead.

I hate to post a negative reveiw but this was hands down the worst mexican food I have ever eaten. The chips were not fresh and clearly from a bag, the salsa tasted like it came from a can, they got my order wrong, no big deal but then the food was also terrible. Chile rellano was soggy and had a stem in it and was extra salty, the refried beans were more of a puree with little seasoning, the spanish rice was not as good as rice a roni... and the tortillas were rubbery and did not taste fresh, so yeah I would highly recomend not going. Oh and both of us now have stomache aches. It was really not good. I try to be generous but this was dissapointing at best. Sorry guys but it was awful.

Carne Asada Tacos
Clean, spiffy interior with a surprising amount of seating. The food is very affordably priced and tasty. Service was friendly and fast. I enjoyed a beef taco and a carnitas sopito and was reasonably full afterwards. I’ll definitely be returning.
