I’ve heard such high reviews about this place , so I was pretty disappointed on this visit. Nothing really impressed me. I mean don’t get me wrong, the food was good and margarita was a margarita but not the best I had

We arrived on a whim. Driving around at 7 PM on a Friday night looking for a decent place to eat. We drive by Tequila and decided to give it a try. It was a cozy, family-owned place with booths and tables. I ordered a Strawberry Daiquiri and he a Diet Pepsi. The salsa was nice and fresh and the queso runny, but very good. The entree came quickly. You order by number here, although it is a sit down restaurant with menus. I got #42 Shredded Beef Burrito and he the (forgot #) Tequila Burrito. Both we very good and pretty much the stand faire Mexican. However, he also ordered the Mexico City Taco which was to die for. And he said he’d order a plate full next time instead of just the one. Giving 4 stars because everything was adequate +, but a little lacking on friendliness. We intend to come back, although wouldn’t make it a priority.

We really like this little place. The service is fast and the prices are fair. The Margaritas are good, and the chimichangas are delicious. I recommend the shredded beef. If I had any complaint it would be that the portion of cheese dip is tiny and they are frugal with their chips over priced therefore the 4 stars. Otherwise it is definitely a favorite for the locals and the folks there are very friendly!

The service was great, but the food was not so much. The chips and salsa was ok. The chips were warm, but the salsa was watered down so it could “stretch”. I had the cheese enchiladas plato. The cheese tasted like salty, processed Velveeta cheese. I asked the waitress what kind of cheese it was and she said mozzarella. I beg the differ, it was terrible. I’m from California and am accustomed to good authentic Mexican food, this was not close to it.

Best Mexican food around. I grew up in so cal and this is the closest to that style of food I have found. This is my new #1 favorite Mexican food restaurant . The inside is nothing fancy but the food is good and the service is great.

Seemed pretty average. Service was OK. Margaret was very small and was OK but not great. Chicken burrito was wet and sloppy. Beans were wet, rice was dry. I combined them and they were about right. Just not the attention to detail. I was hoping it would have been a great little place.

Fantastic restaurant. Servers were fast and attentive. I had the chicken fajita topped with chorizo. The mangorita was great and so were the chips.
