"The charismatic owner at this casual Mexican place will inevitably pitch you on the food when you walk in. Fortunately, it lives up to the owner's enthusiasm—Tepalcates' housemade horchata, zesty shrimp tacos, cheesy quesabirria, and carne su jugo with a broth we wish came in a Big Gulp cup are all excellent. On weekends, the small space fills up quickly with Roscoe Villagers, but it's a little easier to snag a table with friends and a six-pack (they’re BYOB) during the middle of the week." - john ringor
