This has to be the best restaurant I've ever been to! I've been to Gordon Ramsay's restaurants in London and this tops that! Everything was amazing. I got three tacos, the chicken Tinga and two Baja fish tacos. My wife loves Brussels sprouts so she had those as a side. She said they were to die for. Amazing tacos!My wife got the mango salmon and loved it.Then, to top everything off we had ordered the tres leches cake for dessert. Our plan was to share one but then we had to get another. Let's just say this, I think other guests were probably looking at us and saying, 'I'll have what they're having'.Great service too, and a lovely atmosphere.

This place really delivers on flavor in every dish. The Personal Taco Salad is just the right size and smoked brisket adds such a depth of flavors. The shell is perfectly crisp and so good I finished it all. Street Corn is something I've fallen in love with and I order it whenever I see it now. These corn "ribs" are perfectly cooked and seasoned and they don't skimp on the queso fresco! I like getting these at home because in a restaurant I'm embarrassed to suck all the yummy flavor off the cobs! :DI also got the Texas Twinkies again. Yum.

I've been hearing about Tequila Butcher for some time now and was excited to go for Sunday lunch with my family. My first impression that I am pretty sure this was the old Applebees in chanhassen, but the inside was way more aesthetically pleasing than your average Applebees. I'm not sure if we visited on an off day, but for a Sunday lunch we were one of maybe 4 tables in the entire establishment. I was surprised at how dead it was. Either way, the food was alright(everyone said I got the best thing - the French toast), service was good, and there's a loaded Bloody Mary that had all the bells and whistles. Maybe this place is less of a brunch place and more of a happy hour place?

You have to check out the tiki bar in the back - complete with its own patio. Super fun and funky vibe, great food, and a ton of rum!Here's what makes this place really stand out: the staff! Very friendly, fun, and laid back . It really made the difference.Super fun and very unique for the suburbs :)

Food 4/5 - Wanted to try something new so we made the trip out to Chanhassen, MN. The food was overall good. My favorites were the crispy brussle sprouts and the fajita salad with steak. The brisket was pretty decent for Minnesota brisket, a little dry but overall gooService / Ambiance 4/5 - The ambiance of the place was nice a minimalistic with a rustic flare. The staff was helpful and got our food within a timely manner. Overall pleasant experience!

(Last visited 4/21/2022.) Hanging out in Chanhassen, MN for work and it's lunch time with some coworkers! Someone threw out "Tequila Butcher" as a potential lunch spot. It's nearby so here's how it went!Atmosphere/Appearance: This place is nestled right in like... not quite a plaza, but an "area" that is also next to Buffalo Wild Wings, a tire shop, Chipotle and other businesses. There's a private parking lot so there's no worries about where to put your fly ride. The exterior looks like a cantina of sorts and is well put together. Inside is very modern, laid-back, calming and gives me a tavern feel. Once inside the bar is front and center with seating surrounding it. Off to the left is a BEAUTIFUL tequila wall complete with barrels for aesthetic. The walls are white brick with an exposed high ceiling and the noise level was quite moderate. There is also a more intimate and private dining section complete with another bar through an entrance near the tequila wall.Service: Bob took care of us. He didn't show much personality, which could be HIS personality, but he was patient, took care of us and just made sure we had whatever we needed as we sat at the bar.Food: So we started off with the Texas Twinkies! It's a jalapeño wrapped with bacon then stuffed with cream cheese and smoked brisket. It was VERY good with a bit of sweetness in the sauce as well as a smokey, super rich flavor. The pepper was quite spicy and their was a great saltiness from the bacon/brisket. For my entrée I went with the 3-Taco meal-deal. You can totally get 3 different kinds if you choose, which is what I did. The ground beef taco was a lil, bland, lil' dry and genuinely unexciting. The Al Pastor was my favorite of the 3, but still could've used more of a punch. The Carne Asada was the blandest of all 3 and the tortilla was chewy... so, yeah. However, I did enjoy the thick tortilla chips and the guacamole was super creamy!Value: Not too bad. With the Texas Twinkies you can order as many as you like for $5.00 a piece, but the minimum order is 3. So I had to spend $15.00 for them. My taco deal was also $15.00 and it came with 3 tacos of your choosing as well as tortillas chips with dipping sauces.In conclusion, I still really enjoyed myself here even though I didn't rave about my food. However, my coworkers' entrees did look great so I'd love to come back here and try something else!

Let me start by saying that our service was excellent! Ryan was kind, thoughtful and attentive while also providing great recommendations. We both started with drinks that were refreshing and great. The Brisket Mole is a MUST - it is one of the pricier options but so worth it and you get plenty of food for the next day. The meat is smoky and the mole has an incredible depth of flavor. It blew our socks off. The Carnitas tacos could have used a little more flavor, but I loved the corn and rice on the side. We also started with the crispy brussel sprouts which had a beautiful sweet and tangy sauce on top. It was loud inside when we arrived at 6:00 but quieted down by the time we left. Would definitely recommend for a happy hour or a delicious meal!

We used to love the sister restaurant Whiskey Inferno. But these places don't seem to be what they once were. We had tacos that were bland and greasy. It seems like there should be salsa or some hot sauce with tacos but nothing. The tequila old fashion was terrible-so many flavors that just didn't work. That being said, great vibe.

We are local and order food here often. I enjoy their weekly specials but their main regular menu has done a lot of changing over the years. Removing and adding things. We miss the hot links, for one. I highly recommend going.. The paella is great, tacos/birria, taco salad, roasted chicken.. excellent happy hour!
