Tele's Gladewater - Mexican restaurant in Gladewater - 401 S Tyler St, USA

I've had better Mexican food but at higher prices! And to get that perfect Mexican food is few and far between especially in these times! The enchiladas I ordered were above average for Mexican dishes in and around NE Texas. My server was new but she explained what I needed to know about my order. Food came out fast, there were 8 other tables seated at 6 pm. I noticed food was being served to patrons a little slower because the restaurant began to fill completely up! The chip and salsa lady filled my bowl of hot sauce 3 times and refilled my basket of chips. I could have made a meal out of just salsa and chips! I enjoyed my food even though I cook my own enchiladas a little spicier, but a lot of people can't eat a lot of salt or super spicy foods. At $20 dollars I got my money's worth out of quality and service. Besides you can't sit down to eat dinner anywhere anymore for less than $20 for the amount of food I received unless your having a lunch special! I ordered 3 chicken enchiladas with a chicken fajita topping and white queso. Most could probably get by with just two enchiladas at around $15.50 with a drink and refills. The Chili Relleno I saw being served at a close by table looked amazing.

The food here was ok. It wasn't bad or anything. The service was great though. The atmosphere here was pretty regular, nothing to rave about.

First time here and by myself would not go back but if somebody invited me I would. Food wasn't bad but it wasn't that great either. Well caught me off guard is when the waitress asked if we wanted butter when she gave us our chips and salsa. Me and my partner looked at each other kind of weird and said sure. Both of us were not sure what to do with this butter so we looked around the restaurant and saw people squeezing butter into the salsa. Why they squeeze butter into their salsa is beyond me because the salsa is delicious on its own. Okay after that weird interaction we definitely did not squeeze any butter into our salsa. We ordered our food find out how to spicy shrimp dish, child had the beef quesadilla with guacamole, sour cream, jalapenos and tomatoes. Because she chose these items there was no rice or being served with this dish which I find kind of odd but we just went with it. I ordered off their appetizer menu and got a mixture of different items. It's got a difficult for the waitress to understand I did not want this as a appetizer I wanted this as my meal. You see I don't eat a lot so a full plate is just not practical for me. My mail consisted of two corn chips topped with beans and cheese, one chicken taquito cut in half, two chicken stuffed deep fried jalapenos and three tiny mini cheese quesadillas. The food was good but ad mentioned before I would not return just to return. There are way too many other restaurant options that are better in this area and I'd go to those before I'd come back here. The waitress was okay she could have been a little bit better. The restaurant was full and they had four servers which was more than adequate for the size of this restaurant. All the stuff was very friendly and they kept on top of their job busing tables immediately after the customers left. The only problem I had was with their male staff member who was removing a high chair from a table and forcefully pushed it into the back of my chair. Didn't even get an oops I'm sorry from him he just kept on going. As far as prices go, it's a little bit higher than the restaurants we have been going to and the food just not warrant the higher prices.

I enjoy going here once in a while, I was surprised at the price increase which is to be expected, the menu is not as big as it used to be and I did not like the way they made my usual favorite dish this time.

Our waitress today was excellent! The food was ready in record time, and was quite tasty. Our waitress was cheerful, attentive, and prompt, even though they were short on wait staff. I wish I told our waitress how excellent she was -- if you could pass this message on to her, that would be amazing! Even the cashier was cheerful and kind. We had a great experience today, thank you!

I take the ribeye steak topped with shrimp, it was flavorful tender and juicy. Excellent service from all the staff members. No regrets. Definitely come back again.

Only thing that was remotely good was our waitress. I had enchiladas mexicanas. My go to at Teles. Only thing you could taste was chili powder. That's it. Never saw a cheese enchilada that was dort brown from chili powder. Was just nasty. Will never go to that location again, shame cause it's 3 minutes from my door. Rather drive to white oak! Gross

They always serve us hot food, good portions and it tastes delicious! The staff is amazing. The chef even did shrimp street tacos for us. They were yummy!
