Tequila's Family Mexican Restaurant

Got in without a wait, and the service was fantastic! We sat down right away to chips and salsa which were very tasty. I ordered a house margarita with salt and it was very strong. So strong in fact that I forgot to take picture of our meals! I would recommend the chimichanga. The enchiladas were bland, nothing special. I’d come back for drinks and chips/salsa! Kid friendly.

We arrived on a Tuesday evening. The restaurant was busy, with two or three parties ahead of us. There were three empty tables that needed to be cleaned. The manager didn’t acknowledge us for 20 minutes. When I asked to put our name on the waitlist, he said he had to serve others first. Maybe they’re understaffed, but that’s no reason to be rude. The chips were stale. The cheese enchiladas and the shrimp tacos were acceptable. My empty tea glass sat on the edge of the table for ten minutes until we left, abandoned as were we after our food was delivered.

First, let me point out that at a restaurant named “Tequilas” you should expect that they would have an extensive tequila selection… they do not even have a tequila list, so that started off as a bit of a disappointment for the ones in our party that wanted a unique tequila experience. Our waiter started out very nice when he greeted us, but in taking our drink order, he only got to half of the table, then the girl brought chips and salsa and set them on our table and our waiter just walked away. He did not come back for several minutes with the waters and we had to ask to finish our drink order. He was very curt and barely let us finish before walking away. He acted as if we personally offended him, it was absolutely bizarre. The food was good, but not “the best Mexican food I’ve had” like other reviews say. The flank steak fafjitas were cooked really well, the chicken was done well, the tacos were nothing too special. Now for the vegetable fajitas, which were disgusting…. They had CELERY in them!!! Uncooked, crunchy celery and carrots. It was almost as if they ran out of good veggies to use and threw in whatever they had close by, because the dish was awful. We were really looking forward to a dinner out with just the parents during our family vacation, but this place was such a disappointment. Reading through other reviews, it seems as if this place is very inconsistent… we did not get cabbage with our chips and salsa, other fajitas had a sauce on them, ours did not, etc.
