That's a huge plus for me. The ambiance is kind of boring but we're not here for the vibes. We're here for the food. The servers are always polite and kind.

I try to explore two or three different neighborhoods per week, and today traveled to Little Village (from my place in Edgewater). This was my first trip to el barrio since the last time I had just duty at 26th and Cal, about four years ago. By 11 a.m. or so I was hungry and ended up visiting El Tecolote. As soon as I walked in I realized I'd been there before, back in 2018 or 2019 when I was Uber-driving between jobs. That's so long ago that I don't have specific memories. I just remember that I liked El Tecolote a lot! Today I liked it a lot, too! I had juevos rancheros, which were wonderful. The dish consisted of sunny-side up eggs that were nice and runny, just the way I like them. In my experience, restaurants tend to overcook sunny-side up eggs these days. Is that due to people getting sick and filing lawsuits? I don't know, but I hate overcooked eggs, and I thank señora for nice and runny eggs! The red rancheros sauce was delicious and had lots of bell peppers. Also a side of rice and creamy refried beans, plus some excellent, hot corn tortillas. And some very tasty tortilla chips. More than anything else, this breakfast tasted like . . . Mexico. I went to Isla Mujeras four times in the 90s, and today's meal brought me back to those happy trips. Two TVs near the front door were tuned to the same news show, and later the same soap opera. Although I don't speak Spanish, I enjoyed checking out the news and could easily figure out the top story, of course. And I was able to see that Spanish-language soap operas have the same over-acting as their English counterparts! Muchos gracias!

I received exceptional service from CiCi (hope I am spelling that right). Pretty, spacious, and an esthetically beautiful restaurant.

And the butter cake 4.6/5! There are so many reviews, so I'll keep mine simple and straight to the point. If I'm ever in Chicago again, I'd definitely return!

For each cold dish, the sauces were complex, distinct, and perfectly compliments the seafood. And of course I loved the sauce sampler you get (or you can request, I forget). SNAPPER CEVICHE, KING SALMON AGUACHILE, TUNA TOSTADA are my top picks. I could probably do without the hot platter next time although great presentation, I think the taste is more one note than the cold dishes. And the whole fish was solid as well.

I'm usually a little skeptical about ordering fish at Midwestern spots, but this place is officially my exception. Everything was incredibly fresh and so delicious. I dined in and was welcomed with complimentary tostadas and a ceviche-style dip. Service was fast, and my server was incredibly kind and helpful, especially as a first-time patron. I ordered the guacamole and shrimp fajitas, and wow! The portion sizes are unreal. The entrée came with fries, rice, a mini salad, and garlic bread. It was so much food that I'll easily have dinner tonight and lunch tomorrow. I'm officially in love and will definitely be bringing my family and friends to meet my newest favorite lunch spot very soon.
