“By far the best Mexican Restaurant I've ever eaten at.”
By far the best Mexican Restaurant I've ever eaten at. Loved the vibe. The salsa and doritos are supreme. The menu is vast and diverse. The dishes are pefectly seasoned and loaded with more than enough food for one person (you may have trouble finishing your plate.). Sometimes they have someone singing Spanish classics to really liven up the atmosphere. I had an amazing time at Tequila's. Would recommend to anyone that wants to wow a date or a friend with an amazing authentic Mexican experience. A real 5 star for sure.

“Stopped by for lunch after our flight into MDW.”
Stopped by for lunch after our flight into MDW. Figured it would just be standard Mexican fare but the menu was much more extensive than we expected. Food was authentic and very good. Would stop here again. Also, everyone welcome EXCEPT ICE!

“Food is Great, music is good .”
Food is Great, music is good . The day i when they had some guys doing karaoke. The service was okay the waitress wasn’t too attentive with us. I believe i order el volcan it was great , my favorite was the shrimp and the chorizo. The piña colada was a little too sweet for me but it was good . The other plate was a shrimp platter i just can’t remember the name . Over all it was great . We wasted about 85 dollars for 2 people .

“It's an awesome place.”
It's an awesome place! Gotta order the big Margaritas, they serve them in fifth bottles. A bunch of birthdays are going on, and they come out singing and yelling. Live music, overall a great time and big party atmosphere. Food was fantastic. Service was great. Parking can be a challenge.

“Great and festive experience.”
Great and festive experience. Holiday decor that brightens the ambiance. Irresistible (warm) chips and salsa! Large and tasty portions of churrasco and fajita. The mezcal mule (no agave) was perfectly balanced. The beans were the unexpected star…devoured them! Friendly and timely service made for a solid lunch.

“The Aroma when you walk into the restaurant hits your nose can you get this to the delightful urgent craving of food.”
The Aroma when you walk into the restaurant hits your nose can you get this to the delightful urgent craving of food. I had the best al pastor tacos 🌮 I have ever eaten in my life and let me say I ate plenty. I also head the best refried beans that were out of this world my friend have the beef milanesa it was so tender and flavorful. If you have a big crowd for birthday party this is the place to go. But you need to have reservations the prices are very reasonable. They also have entertainment stage. Plus they also run with an airplane feels like tequila and also a bull running at the Red cloth which has tequila in it with sparklers and sing Happy Birthday it was such an exciting and wonderful experience I would highly recommend trying it out

Atmosphere was lively and fun, our waiter was very attentive and the cuts of meat where very good. Presentation of the food was nice but my plate seemed small. The amount of food was good I just couldn’t cut my meats. Overall had a good experience and we would definitely visit again.

“Absolutely, a fun environment restaurant.”
Absolutely, a fun environment restaurant. On holidays they give a free complimentary beverage (liquor) and a rose for Mother's day!! The love music was very nice... FOOD: As you see in the pictures it's a good size servings and the quality of the protein 👌 was 💯 % delicious! -(The side of the tortillas was a little portion) would like to have at least 5 in the order. Parking is challenging as well.. The wait time in the weekends are extremely long but worth the wait.
