Tee Pee Mexican Food

I hear this place is legendary. This is not the kind of place you look up and happen to visit... someone takes you here. Someone shows off TeePee to you. It's that legendary.The chile rellenos is the ultimate- I've never seen anything like it anywhere else! It's fluffy and puffy and perfect!The complimentary chips and salsa are delightful: warm chips and smoky salsa. Trust me- get the cheese crisp. Everyone at the table will thank you! It's like an open faced quesadilla!The women's bathroom (best seat in the house!) is odd and kind of a MUST SEE.

I liked the food and the how the parking was easily accessible. I was unhappy with the seating for my friends who were deafblind. We were cramped into a small hot corner with little space to move around. There were no large seating areas unless we were to sit outside in the heat.The welcoming staff members kepted sighing about how long it was taking for my friends to get situated. On the other hand the serving staff was AMAZING! He was kind and patient. It made the lunch a whole lot better.

We make the drive to Arcadia from Mesa just for TeePee. If you want retro, this is your place. Vinyl booths, Formica tables, DeGrazia style art -- it's like you're stepping back in time--and I LOVE it!The servers are fantastic, and when they heard me make a joke about forgetting my glasses, she asked if I needed some readers. She brought me a couple of pairs to choose from! Yay! The food is traditional and delicious, and the portions are huge. There is a presidential platter, which is the dish that George Bush chose when he ate at TeePee. NOTE: There aren't any tables and chair sets, if I remember correctly. All booths. The booths in the dining room seat four, two on each side. The seat larger parties in two booths that are divided but right next to each other. It shouldn't be a big deal.

It looks like a little hole in the wall, but when you get in there and see all the pictures and decorations, you know it's been there for many decades of a family ran restaurant. Very quaint uncomfortable restaurant with a bar the food oh my goodness is amazing. I had a combo platter with rice and beans on it a red tamale, a cheese and onion enchilada and a Carne Asada taco other than my Carne Asada taco shell wet because of the tomatoes and the lettuce being put on hot food was my only complaint my friend I was with had the red chili chimichanga which was absolutely delicious. I tried that as well. it was also happy hour so we ordered a cheese crisp which we had to send back a couple times because it wasn't Chris enough for us, but they were more than happy to accommodate. The service was amazing. We had a gentleman who has been working there for 28 years, I want to say his name is Richard, but he was so attentive and went above and beyond my drink was never empty, which is a big thing for me when I go out. If you want to try some really good food and have really good service go try this restaurant you won't be disappointed

Man I'm so on the fence here. It's been around for decades, busy lunch spot, great outside area with misters and all, but the service was awful. Walking in there was a sign stating wait to be seated. We waited and waited when someone finally came to seat us. Our server took some time as well. The menu isn't huge, but has some really great options. I opted for the two it combo and was so excited to see a shrimp taco option. They doesn't happen often on the combo items. I added a chicken enchilada with green sauce as well. My other family member ordered three items but with agreed beef. That vibe was ok. Lots of signed photos adorned the lobby, old school booths. Chips and salsa came and the salsa was awesome. It had a great kick to it. Chips were ok, but I've had better. Our food came pretty quick. The shrimp taco was such a let down. No flavor, no toppings besides some grilled onion I'm guessing ...it was so charred who knows. The only taste i could find was the smoke of the grill. No sauce nothing, bummer. My enchilada was great. It had good sauce and lots of chicken. Other food ordered with hard shell was soggy at pick up. Flavor was decent there. We sat our entire meal with no refills or check in. If in the area I'd maybe stop again to try some other items, but definitely not drive as far as we did this time just to try them out.

An iconic local restaurant that many flock to and the last time I was here was back in the 80's. Not much has changed other than the people, but the recipes are consistent.

Truly a Phoenix icon, Tee Pee has been around so long my parents used to come here when they were young! It's very cozy and cute inside, definitely a great place to get a drink and hang out. It's not the best Mexican food around, but it's tasty and plentiful plus the drinks are cheap. I'd definitely come by again for some food and a $24 margarita pitcher!

Solid tradition Mexican food. Tee Pee is a staple in Phoenix, been around since 1956. Bar is nice size. No frills food, comes out fast snd fresh and service is great!

WOW. Incredible service, authentic and incredible Mexican food! I wish we lived nearby. We'd eat here all the time! As an added bonus, we sat at the same table as a former President! Love this place.

Ever since they changed the name (new owners???) the food is not as good. BUT THE WORST NEWSTHEY USECANOLA OIL (TOXIC SEED OIL) for their cooking so sickened and sad about that toxic choice !
