    The waiter was nice, the food was decent. We were bamboozled by the pictures would be my only complaint. The portion looked bigger on the picture. My kids loved the camarones rancheros. If you appreciate El Paso, Mi cabaña, or Chuys then this place will be alright for you too.

    First time visit with my family. The service was ok and foods were good, but will not go back again it's because of the hygienic aspect and cleanliness. First of all the table was sticky and was not clean. Second of all when we got seated my son realize that tiny spider was crowding on the table. Annnd from the other side of the seat (which is where my husband was seated) another spider was just hanging down from the ceiling. ‍  
    Next! took my daughter to the bathroom and one of the toilet seats were gone and left out. It was not a clean bathroom.  Oh!and water was leaking from that ceiling and we never got mentioned it from the lady. I hope the owner or manager of the restaurant can fix this problem became I think that their weekly specialty are great idea!  Especially Taco Tuesday and Thursday.99 margarita.

    An authentic style Mexican restaurant with big colorful latin inspired booths.

    What'd you'd expect from typical Mexican restaurants with free chips and salsa.

    The food was a bit lackluster, the presentation was sloppy and taste was just ok.

    My dinner partner got shrimp burrito and got sick from it later on, the other person I was with got a quesadilla and it wasn't cut and also his sides came in styrofoam cups, looked bad.

    My plate looked the best and tasted good but made me feel bloated and uneasy the rest of the night and next day. Probably won't return bc we all felt bad after eating there.

    We were hesitant once we were set down bc the place was dead and the fans&A/c were very loud and annoying which made the dinner atmosphere not pleasant and feel like a hole in the wall restaurant.

    Enter at ur own risk, there are other Mexican restaurants near by that we are going to in the future.

    The hostess didn't give us menus as she seated us at the table.  All I ordered was 2 margaritas a strawberry and a mango one, and the other people I was sitting with ordered the taco Tuesday special. We had to wait for our table so we ordered them at the bar. The silverware was handed to us without any kind of covering or napkin. We had to ask the bus boy for napkins because our server was unattenative. She charged me for another tables order. I asked her to fix it and she kindly did. I would have had a more pleasant experience here if it weren't for the crappy service my friends and I received.

    Was not pleased with our trip to El Tequila at all Tuesday night. Came with my family and was sat right away at a table by the host. After 15 minutes at the table waiting for our waiter the host came back and asked if we have been helped yet. She then went and found our waiter and around 5 minutes later our waiter came and asked us if we have been waiting long. We told the waiter the we have been waiting for round about 20 minutes at the table and the waiter sort of laughed it off. We then ordered our drinks and meal. Our meal came around 15 minutes later and we asked for refills and the waiter took our glasses but never gave us our refills. The food was warm but lacked taste. Unfortunately this was a very bad experience and they have only been getting worse every time we go for taco Tuesday each week.
