" For my birthday celebration, I chose El Tequila and it was a splendid choice! We had a large table, and I was impressed with how quickly the staff handled our orders, bringing the food promptly. The ambiance created a joyful atmosphere for us to celebrate. The enchiladas were scrumptious, just the way I like them. I appreciated the little touches, such as the complimentary dessert for my special day! All in all, a memorable dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tequila is hands-down the best Mexican restaurant I have ever visited! The staff is incredibly polite and attentive, and the food is straight from the heart! I had the envy of many around me as I enjoyed the burritos, which were loaded with delicious fillings. The chef clearly has a passion for his craft, as evidenced by the vibrant food presentation. The environment is filled with jovial conversations and a sense of community. I would highly recommend anyone to give this place a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a culinary experience! El Tequila has recreated a slice of Mexico right here in Owatonna. The vibrant colors in the decor complement the lively atmosphere. We were a large group, and despite the crowd, our server was efficient and very attentive. I ordered the carne asada, and it was cooked to perfection; seasoned beautifully and juicy. It paired well with their house-made salsa, which I just couldn’t stop eating. For sure one of the best dining experiences I've had! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Tequila has become a staple for my family and me, and for good reason! Every dish we have tried has been delicious; we often go for the shrimp enchiladas and the quesadillas. The portions are generous, and the pricing is very reasonable, especially for the quality of food being served. The staff is always friendly, and I genuinely feel welcomed every time I visit. One downside is that they can get pretty busy during weekends, which sometimes means a bit of a wait for a table, but it's worth it every time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to El Tequila for years, and it continues to impress! The owners are so friendly, and the staff make you feel right at home. I typically go for the tacos al pastor, which are absolutely fantastic! The flavors are bold and exactly what I look for in authentic Mexican food. The only downside is that sometimes the place can get too crowded, leading to longer wait times. But with food this good, it's worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my meal at El Tequila, but there were a few hiccups. For starters, the chips were a bit stale, which was disappointing. The waiter, however, was very kind and diligent, taking care of us throughout our meal. I ordered the shrimp cocktail and it was quite tasty, although not the best I've had. The atmosphere was lively and the new location feels fresh and inviting. I might consider returning, but I would love to see some improvements in the quality of the appetizers. " (*Curated Review*)

" While my experience wasn't bad, I felt El Tequila could improve. The ambiance is great, but the food didn't strike a chord with me. The tacos I had were not as flavorful as I expected, especially compared to other places I've enjoyed. The service was decent, but I waited longer for my order. Overall, it's a nice restaurant, but there are better options nearby. " (*Curated Review*)
