Tequilas Restaurant Bar and Grill

The nachos get 5 stars alone - so good! Service was good and they had Stella Artois on happy hour for $2.50. Can't beat that!

It might be a regional thing. I spent most of my adult life in Texas and developed some prejudice for Tex Mex. This wasn't it. They tried. Attractive restaurant with good Mexican decor. Prompt, pleasant service (I sat at the bar). But by Texas standards my carnitas were kinda bland. Sorry. Call 'em like I see 'em.

After my hillbilly boss told me that this place was terrible; I knew that I had to see for myself. He's the guy that thinks that 54th St. is gourmet and won't eat anything "foreign". Well, he's wrong again. I had a great little lunch here this afternoon, and it will go on my list for Tex-Mex repeats for the Northland.Tequila's opened in the space that formerly housed The Alamo. A northland institution that I visited often in the 70's and 80's, when Tex-Mex joints weren't a dime a dozen. The Alamo will not be remembered for its glory days, but for it's last 2 decades of decay before closing. Tequila's offers a glimpse back with the big bar and side dining area with booths and tables. They are also impeccably clean. The paint job is vibrant and even the men's bathroom was spotless and colorful. I really wanted to order the quesabirria pizza, but I didn't need such a large entree when dining alone, so I went with the steak fajita salad. Small in appearance but this edible bowl wasn't filled with 3 inches of lettuce like most places do to give a large appearance. Plenty of chopped steak, sauteed peppers, onions, zucchini and a few peas and drizzled in queso with a scoop of sour cream and guacamole made it a zesty offering. Complimentary chips and salsa were adequate. Service was efficient and courteous. May Tequila's reign at this worn out strip mall be the catalyst for a facelift for the entire property.

Came here with a group of friends. It's in an outdoor strip mall. It's cute and spacious inside. We were greeted right away by the server that gave us chips and salsa. She gave us plenty of salsa and plenty of chips, which I love. The food came out pretty fast. I ordered the Speedy Gonzalez which is a lunch special consisting of a taco, enchilada, and choice of beans or rice. You could get chicken or beef and I ordered beef. The meat was pretty flavorful and the beans were good. I scarfed it up pretty quick. Good service good food. I have no complaints.

When I try a new Mexican restaurant my go to is always a ground beef taco and an enchilada. They didn't have fried shell tacos, which are my favorite, but the taco was good. The ground beef was seasoned well. My favorite of the two was definitely the enchilada. The enchilada sauce had such a great deep, rich flavor, I had to order an extra one to go. My daughter had the chicken tostadas and thought they were really good. I brought my husband an order of steak and chicken fajitas and he said it was some of the best fajitas he has had in a long time. Definitely ask for the green sauce!!!

What an upgrade for the shopping center and the surrounding businesses. Easily the cleanest restaurant to take up residency in this strip mall in YEARS? Maybe ever. Staff was incredibly nice. Tortillas super fresh, chips excellent, salsa great. Really enjoyed our experience sitting at the bar. Solicit this restaurant. I swear it's better and fresher than Margaritas or Ponaks... El Patron. Location isn't ideal. It's Claycomo... it's Brighton... but we will be back and I hope this place sticks around for a bit.

How is this place not packed on Taco Tuesday I have no idea?! The happy hour is fantastic. Best house margarita I've had in forever. Not too sweet. Guacamole was fantastic. Salsa and hot salsa was excellent. Hot yet lots of flavor. The staff is so kind, helpful and attentive. Highly recommend! Cute pictures on the wall on the bar side.

The food was absolutely incredible and the drinks were sooo good. The service and atmosphere were amazing and I will forever be back every time I want some great margaritas and food!!

Can't tell you a thing about the food. Never tried it.My wife and I went there with a coupon I'd receieved two days before at the Ace Hardware on N Antioch. We all know the receipt type-they're printed on the back of the register tape. When we arrived and showed the waitress the coupon she said they were no longer honoring them. When I asked her why she said it was the decision of the owner. As there is no experation date on the coupon I asked her to double check and she said the owner would come out and explain it to us. The owner never did come out but sent another waitress to re-explain to us why they were not honoring their own coupon. She said they would give us a discount of some type but not honor the coupon. No other explanation was given.I guess they don't understand-the coupon worked! We were there because of it!We left without ordering. Their opportunity to get a new customer was missed. We won't be back and the owner should be ashamed of himself for not handling the situation personally. It was 5:00 pm and not busy.Three stars for appearing clean and having a nice waitress.

Treated myself to lunch today at Tequila's. I will be honest, I was skeptical based on it being in a strip mall and not looking authentic enough from the outside. But holy moly the food was magnificent. 1) Ask for the spicy salsa. Delicious charred flavor and right amount of heat. 2) The smothered burrito was flavored inside and out which was one of the best burritos I've had. So much seasoning and right on point. 3) The side of Charro beans was something that has been missing from my life. Come give Tequilas a try if you like good food.
