Here’s the truth of the matter, the first time I went to iTzcali Tapas and Tequila, it was pretty rough and I shared the honest assessment. People chastised the review but I also committed to returning.
I have been back multiple times and those experiences kept improving with zero bad takes since the first time. It’s now to the point, it’s a worthwhile addition to our date night list.
We stopped by again with family for a couples outing before a concert at Intrust Bank Arena and *spoiler alert* had a fabulous time.

Trying to decide where to eat before a concert at the arena, we wanted a mix of drinks, good ambience and food and the general consensus was iTzcali Tapas & Tequila.
These days I don’t do as many cocktails or beers, but it’s hard to pass up tequila and iTzcali has plenty of that.
From there, we shared many appetizers including multiple bruschettas, chicharron de ribeye and Mayan hummus.
Everything was fantastic. The chicharron de ribeye was crispy ribeye tips served with guacamole and a honey chipotle sauce which went by quickly.
But probably the biggest crowd pleaser was the Mayan hummus. The chipotle hummus had a small kick to it that was extremely addicting.
With six of us at the table, I didn’t get a picture of everybody’s meals, nor did I bring a pen and paper to take notes of everyones dishes.
But I went with the pollo perfecto which was oven roasted chicken, served with garlic spinach farro and guajillio sauce with roasted garlic and chiles de arbol.
I’m not a chef and have the reading level of a fifth grader so I’m not going to pretend I know everything that the dish consisted of. All I know was that I loved it. It had a very rich, slightly smoky flavor due to the sauce and the chicken was incredibly tender. I devoured it just as fast as the shots of tequila.
Final Thoughts on iTzcali Tapas & Tequila
Nothing bad to say about this visit to iTzcali Tapas & Tequila. Everyone had a great time, the service was excellent.
The efficiency and speed of receiving our dishes in a timely manner to tabbing out were all well above par.
Yeah, this place is certainly deserving of being added to anybody’s date night list.
