Was Mariana Avila at Al Chulo a mag?
The food here is exceptional and tastes like authentic Mexican cuisine—nothing like the tacos from Taco Bell. These tacos are delicious! The service is also excellent. View all feedback.

What Elisa Halvorson dislikes about Al Chulo:
Best thing about this place is the yummy drinks. We had many different tacos. I thought overall they were ok, some better than others. The ambiance was nice and the server was very helpful and accommodating. Drinks were a bit slow to come out, considering there weren't many people there. I might go back for a drink and the pork tacos. View all feedback.

The esquites (corn) are fantastic, as is the rice! Every taco option is delicious. My favorites are the pork and fish tacos. This place is on par with Bien Trucha or A Toda Madre, but a bit more budget-friendly.

We will definitely return! The tapas were enjoyable to share, and the margaritas were delicious. We also appreciated the recommendations from the local staff.
