Tecalitan Restaurant

We found this restaurant on <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Frestaurants.com&s=8b83bf0ff8b716aae84527dc95577a310f201b166dcca25c8ca3824b15703869" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://restaurants.com</a> and went there to take advantage of the $25 gift cert for $10 offer. The restaurant is right downtown Aurora a couple of blocks from the Hollywood Casino. We walked in at 6:30pm on a Sat night to a restaurant that was less than half full. One of the servers told us to sit anywhere we wanted. From the time we sat down it was almost 10 minutes until anyone came over and brought us menu's or took a drink order; in the meantime there was a large table next to us covered with the dirty plates, glasses, and remnants of a previous parties meal. Finally we were brought menu's, ordered 2 margaritas which were quite good after we stirred them to mix up the ingredients. We also ordered some refried beans and guacamole to go with our chips and both were good. We did run out of chips at one point and have to search our waitress down to get some more. Also, the margaritas took 10 minutes to receive from the time we ordered them. We ordered our entrees consisting of steak fajitas and chicken flautas; again both were very good, we had no issue with the food quality. The real problem was the person the staff allowed to sit at the large table next to us and drink water and watch the soccer match on the television. As we finished our meal he turns to us and asks us for money to buy some food or if we can buy him some food!!!! I expect a certain amount of this to occur while walking down the street but not while I am seated in a restaurant enjoying a meal. Its not like this person just walked in and was passing through; he was seated at a table interacting with the 2 waitresses who were giving him glasses of water which tells me the restaurant endorses this type of behavior. We were looking for our waitress to get our check but again she couldnt be found so we had to go to the register to get our bill and settle up so we could leave. While the food was good there are many other mexican restaurants with much better service where I will not be accosted to buy someone a meal.

This eatery is one of the better Mexican places in Aurora.  The food is pretty good and the environment has more than adequate space.  The staff is difficult to communicate with, and frequently orders that have special requests do not get served properly.
