How does this place have 4.5 stars!? My husband and I love good Mexican food, especially after spending some time in Arizona and Texas. With the high ratings this restaurant has, we were hopeful to try it out. But, VERY disappointed with the food. It wasn't bad, per se, just not GREAT. Also, my son ordered a kid's taco and it was only beef in a taco shell. We asked for cheese and when the bill came, saw that we were charged $1.75 FOR CHEESE!Also, the flour tortillas tasted like something you buy at the grocery store.The only thing that was good here was the margarita.

You get a lot of food here! However, you're paying the price for it. The food itself was a bit bland but overall fine. It's a big restaurant and the drinks and salsa were good, so would be a fun place to come for drinks and a snack! Otherwise, I probably wouldn't recommend going out of your way to come here.

Out and about we decided on Mexican food. What a good idea. This is a really nice place. The restaurant is clean and painted in vibrant color. We sat down and were promptly visited by our excellent waiter. He made some suggestions and took our drink order. We also got some complementary chips and salsa. I had the Machaca Enchiladas and they were fantastic! It's a really nice place with great service and even better food.

Had seen their ads on television and decided to try El Tequileno. Glad I did, this is a solid choice for very good Tex Mex food. Menu is huge with lots of choices and combinations. The complimentary chips and salsa were delicious -- roasted tomatoes make the difference. The chicken mole enchiladas tender and tasty with the mole sauce. Service was exceptional. Food was served promptly, piping hot. Inside the booths are comfortable and the decor is brightly painted walls and lots of Mexican items. The well stocked tequila bar looked amazing --gotta go back for that.

While on vacation in Colorado, we discovered some delicious Mexican food, and this place was one of them. Friendly staff, prompt service, festive atmosphere, reasonable prices, hearty portions, and tasty food.We knew we were in for a treat as soon as the chips and salsa were delivered, along with a delicious cabbage slaw with zesty lime. I'm not sure exactly what this was, but it was yummy.My son loved the carne asada plate, with tender skirt steak, creamy beans, and spicy fresh pico de gallo. The combination plates are inexpensive, and I tried the medio w/ a Chile Relleno and a picadillo burrito. Saucy, cheesy, filling, and satisfying. The menu is large, with something for everyone, and everything sounded and looked delicious.When in Golden, skip the Coors and get yourself some tequila and food from Tequileno!

Came to eat here after taking a walk and I'm so happy we found this place. To start our server was amazing and made us feel so welcomed. They have such a family vibe and we feel really comfortable and relax.They do have a huge menu and everything looked great.To start I had a red bull Margarita which was huge and delicious.We also shared a chicken taquitos which itself could be a meal. The chicken was moist and flavorful.For entree I had the fajitas de mar which was shrimp , baby octopus and a whole fish filet inside a pineapple with rice, beans and the fix. I think my seafood was cooked perfectly and tasted great. I was not a fan of the beans but that's just me.We also had the carnitas enchiladas which were also absolutely delicious and packed with pork. I do think some things were a bit overpriced, but overall we had an amazing time and amazing food. I recommend to try.

We've been on the hunt for Mexican food.. Now, Mexican food is personal, and everyone has their opinion... But for me/us, this by far has reached the number one spot. The Mr has been on the hunt for a crunchy chile relleno, and found his fave. I have wanted refried beans, and yes, every place has them, but I wanted something almost identical to the beans I've been eating for 33 years (in another restaurant in AZ), and I found them!! They were a little runnier, liquid consistency/smooth, than I would love, but the flavor was incredible. Carnitas tacos, my order, were very very wet, juicy. The tortilla was destroyed, and I had to eat with a fork (no complaint - just fact). I would absolutely order again.. Guacamole was very fresh, good flavor. Was it the best I've had, no, but I would order it again. We will absolutely be back here.Service was friendly, quick, and courteous. Restaurant is 'dated', but who cares - it's clean, plenty of parking, and delicious. I stand by my 5 stars and will be coming back again!! They also have a TON of tequila on the menu. Never have I ever sen such a huge selection. Didn't drink this time, but looking forward to trying some next time!

My smothered bean burrito was 99% full of cold rice and for some reason, celery. Didn't read all that in the item description... hmm.... The green chili on top was basically non-existent, as well as the beans that were supposed to fill the burrito. This is not edible to me so I hope the restaurant appreciates the money they took from me. Unfortunately, this was through DoorDash and they would not do anything to remedy this issue.
