Chicken Black Bean Salsa Salad and Mexican Flag Enchilada Sampler
Mary D.

I've heard about Ted's for decades and I don't know why I just now got a chance to check it out. The food was pretty good - your basic, standard Tex-Mex. They provide chips, salsa and queso and house made tortillas and relish. I liked that there were some salad options and "healthier" items. It's pretty kid friendly too now that they even promoted a new pizza menu. Service was excellent. Our waitress checked on us often without hovering.

Service is great so is the food. Location is very important to us because of our location.

Went here for some appetizers and drinks. Our server Alicia was amazing and made our experience great. The hot honey mango margarita was awesome and the chips/queso/salsa as "the setup" was so good. The tortillas were also made in house and were great with the queso. Will absolutely come back.

Lighter portion of the tamale dinner (1 tamale). Chicken tamale with crema

Food was meh. Service was great! Ambience was good. I've only ever been because someone else suggested the place. I much prefer authentic.

Tarahumara's Mexican Cafe & Cantina 05/01/2026…read more (5/5) The food here is absolutely amazing! I ate at Tarahumara's about a week ago with my co-workers, and I was so blown away that I had to bring my wife and girls back for a second visit. The shrimp cocktail was massive--so fresh and flavorful--though the shrimp could be a bit smaller to make them easier to handle. I had Diego's meal, with a substitution of 2 chicken enchiladas with sour cream and one beef enchilada with red sauce. My wife ordered a shrimp dish with garlic butter, and it was a huge plate she thoroughly enjoyed. I also have to mention their relish is incredible, and they start you off with chips and white queso instead of yellow, which is a really nice touch. The sour cream sauce is excellent. This place is a must-visit, and we can't wait to come back again.

Beautiful new space. Much easier to navigate and than it was before…read more Food is good as always the service is fantastic. They don't give you any time at all before they're coming to refill your drinks and salsa.. Love the green salsa! However, we were seated right I'mnext to the bar and that seemed to be the place where the waiters congregated. I don't like to feel crowded or have people staring at me when I'm eating lol The waiter tried to clear my friends plate 4 times while he was still eating.. the fifth time he just gave up and let him take his plate. Sopapilla was cold and tough today.
