Pros: mostly clean taste with slightly sweet finish; no skunky or green bottle qualities
Cons: way too mild for my tastes; slight cardboard/corny flavor; too fizzy
Summary: Mexican lagers have a reputation in America for being adjunct-filled, watered-down, bland fizzy yellow beers on par with "economy" brands (the ones that make Bud, Miller and Coors seem gourmet in comparison). While it's very difficult to find a truly ...

Pros: Not harsh, pourable, inexpensive ...
Cons: Doesn't have a full body if you really like that sort of thing...
Summary: The world of Mexican beers is similar to the world of American beers. You have your microbrews, your small-town brews, and then you have your big-time breweries that advertise during every major sporting match. In Mexico these big time breweries are ...

Pros: Good flavor, inexpensive
Cons: Lacks complexity
Summary: Tecate is a fine, middle of the road lager from Mexico. A great beer? I wouldn't go that far, but then it isn't priced like one. Tecate averages around $5 a six pack in the Los Angeles area, and can frequently be found on sale for less than that. As ...

Pros: Better than some
Cons: Worse than many
Summary: I've just returned from the desert region of Andalucia, in Spain. What? You didn't know there was a desert there? Of course there is. It's called The Great Quality Beer Desert and I was marooned smack dab in the middle of it for two weeks. Let ...

Pros: Magnificent companion to BBQ'd carne asada and a life lesson.
Cons: The lessons of life can be really damn hard.
Summary: The traffic moving north along the 405 through the valley toward Valencia was lighter than normal for a Saturday morning, meaning that we would arrive at Oso's a bit earlier than expected. That would be fine, as in practical terms it meant we would have ...

Pros: light but with full flavor
Cons: a bit expensive
Summary: A nice, light beer with a full body of flavor. You can get a nice buzz on with only a few beers. No after taste and no metallic taste. You don't get bloated and as long as you pace yourself, you can drink all night.
Tecate is a good beer for any...

Pros: Light inoffensive everyday lager
Cons: Light inoffensive everyday lager
Summary: I've often said that for every beer, there is an occasion, but to a lot of folks, the right occasion for ordinary, everyday, non-pretensious beers is...well...every day. That's the kind of niche that beers like Tecate fit into.

Pros: Only nice thing I can say is that the can is unique. Enough said.
Cons: Weak flavor. Plus: not enough information is provided by the brewer regarding this brand's production.
Summary: Tecate Light Premier
"Cerveza elaborado con ingredientes naturales de óptimo calidad; malta, cebada y lúpulo."
How's your Spanish? Did you catch all that? Even with my limited Spanish skills, I can make out the basic...

Pros: How green grows thy garden?
Cons: Bland, bland, bland...YEEECH!
Summary: Why is a light beer like making love in canoe? Give up? They're both f*cking close to water!
Some folks might think that was a joke. People who love beer as much as I do will recognize it as one of life's fundamental truths.
While...

Pros: Cheap, easy drinking
Cons: Straightforward, lacks a little hop
Summary: “Tecate is a pleasant Mexican community, where life centers around a tranquil tree-shaded plaza. The city is located about thirty miles east of Tijuana on the road to Mexicali. The biggest point of interest here, of course, is the Cuauhtémoc Brewery,...

Pros: Inexpensive, tasty, smoother than Bud or Miller
Cons: Taste similar to many other mexican beers
Summary: As with many beers and flavors, one tends to acquire a taste balance which may seem a little unusual.
This is the case with Tecate and myself. I truly enjoy this light hearted beer with the tongue tantalizing flavors of mexican cuisine....

Pros: Light and Malty, Reasonably Priced and Available
Cons: Slight metallic aftertaste, not a strong, memorable flavor
Summary: Tecate beer is popular in this part of the country. Many immigrants like this brew best of all. I've had it occasionally, it's like a everyday beer to many. It is more inexpensive than most of its Mexican competition. I don't necessarily mean that...

Pros: Cheaper than Corona
Cons: It's no Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Summary: Time: 1983
Place: Fred's Rainbow Bar; Juarez, Mexico
Seventy-five cents got you a T n'T, a shot of cheap tequila and a cold Tecate with lime. Today I live in Portland, Oregon, not El Paso, Texas, but I still like Tecate. The Mexicans I...

Pros: Light, refreshing, and crisp
Cons: Only acceptable in the can
Summary: As an avid beer-drinker, I have acquired the habit of only drinking certain beers during certain seasons. While some beers are truly ideal for year-round consumption (Bass comes to mind), others must be strictly confined to a particular season. Such is...

Pros: Smooth great taste definately not bitter beer.
Cons: the price
Summary: Tecate was introduced to my husband and me about 9 months ago by a very good friend. I personally am not a beer drinker and Wade knew this but strongly urged me to try it his way swearing that I would be delighted with the taste. I did taste and my...
