I have to give it a rare 5-star. This is a family Mexican restaurant, where they care about food and also tradition. It is best known for their moles (and I recommend the South Mex version of taking it as a stew). They have great seafood selection too. But for me, their fresh tilapia, both grilled and steamed, is the highlight here. This place is a little out of the way, only locals come here - it's worth your trip!

I should have ordered the mole. The veggie burrito I ordered instead was undercooked and bland. My friends who had the mole liked it.

Really enjoyed my visit to El Texate - this venue is so welcoming, you will feel like one of the family! Michael (the owner) is a true connoisseur when it comes to tequila! Also, you will find a large variety of other spirits there too. If your in the area, check it out! PS - sorry we didn't pop in to say good bye, time got the better of us. You are much better than Wahacas in the UK 😁

Was really disappointed with here. Ordered the burrito with vegetables and it ended up just being rice with strips of bell peppers, onions, and zuccini. That's it. No beans, no pico de gallo, no sour cream- nada. The flan was alright, but I felt it needed to sit longer. Hubby ordered carne asada burrito and pollo tacos. Tacos were good, burrito was okay as well. From what we had - I really wouldn't consider this authentic Mexican food at all.

Loved this gem. A bit of a hole in the wall, but comfortable and welcoming. Had indoor and outdoor seating. Waiter asked if I had ever been, and as my answer was no, he offered suggestions. I had the civeche, was a pretty large serving, could have had that alone, but i also ordered oaxaquenos stew with carnitas... so flavorful. It was a great find in an area with so many high end options.
