Reviews For Cafe Tikal

Had a meeting here, the food was amazing. We had steak tacos with beans and rice, and a steak burrito with beans and rice. Meat was seasoned to perfection, tender and plenty of it, beans were creamy best I've had since my grandmother passed. Service was great, checked on us several times, made sure we had everything we needed. We are definitely going back to sample other dishes.

The food, service and vibe is fantastic. All the food was seasoned to perfection and the drinks are spot on. I highly recommend the skirt steak and the mango margarita. We will be back soon!

This is such a great place! Some of the best food I’ve ever had and definitely worth the wait. We had the menudo, carne asada and shrimp, and the pupusas revueltas! Everything tasted amazing. We will definitely be returning soon! Service was great and everyone makes you feel like family. 10/10 recommend this place!

First time eating here! Brought my adoptive mom for her birthday and it was delicious! I ate a 12oz Ribeye with potatoes and broccoli. That was DELICIOUS! The steak was cooked exactly how I wanted it (medium well) and everything was perfect! I also drank a watermelon “aguafresca” and it was on point. Love Love Love this place! Staff is so friendly. They pay attention to your needs. Love it! Totally recommend it!

I genuinely never experienced a better customer service from my waiter, if you go there ask for Jennifer because she is amazing when it comes to customer service. She was very welcoming and very helpful when it comes to choosing something on the menu when you have never been. I was really shocked by the food, waiter, and the atmosphere that this place delivered. This establishment definitely deserves the stars it has or more.
