" First time at Tequila and I was pleasantly surprised! The ordering at the counter took me aback, but once I settled in, I really enjoyed the experience. I ordered the beef birria tacos; they were succulent and full of flavor. I appreciated that the chips and salsa came complementary. My only complaint is that the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed, which caused delays in a few requests. Otherwise, I had a great time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I was expecting something a bit more upscale, but the ordering method was more casual like fast food. The margaritas were fantastic though! I had their chicken enchiladas which were decent but nothing extraordinary. The atmosphere felt a bit hectic with so many people in and out. I'm on the fence about returning, but those margaritas are calling me back! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time visitor and I loved every bite! The shrimp tacos practically melted in my mouth. They were so incredibly fresh. The only downside was our server seemed a bit distracted, but it didn't take away from how enjoyable the meal was overall. The restaurant itself is beautifully clean as well. Can't wait to return and try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews, I had to try Tequila. I was not disappointed! The food was delicious and felt authentic, from the chips and salsa to my beef taco salad. However, the ordering method definitely felt strange to me, and it took me out of the experience a bit. Definitely worth a visit for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tequila is definitely worth the visit. The combo platters are incredible! Great for sharing, and the atmosphere is full of life. I appreciate the communal feel but hope they’ll return to a more traditional serving method. The food quality makes it worth it though, I'll be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Tequila last weekend while passing through Columbia and was taken aback by how enjoyable the meal was! I ordered the carne asada and it was perfectly grilled. The salsa had a nice kick to it which I really appreciated. I think the prices were fair for the quality of the food and portion size. Overall, highly recommend this place to anyone craving authentic Mexican! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tequila has undergone quite the transformation, and while I loved the standard ordering style, the new method does have its advantages. The attention to fresh ingredients is evident in the dishes. I tried the pescado tacos, which were exceptional. Service was friendly, making it still a great dining experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)
