" Tequila exceeded my expectations! I loved the chiles rellenos; they were soft and flavorful. The service was attentive without feeling overwhelming. The place is vibrant and full of life, which creates a wonderful atmosphere. I’d recommend this restaurant to anyone looking to try something new. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Tequila for the first time last week. The ordering system threw me off at first, but I quickly adjusted and appreciated the efficiency. I tried their carnitas burrito and it was massive! They use fresh ingredients which you can really taste. Overall, I had a great experience, but I wish the restaurant had more traditional decor. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently returned to Tequila after hearing good things from friends, and it did not disappoint! I ordered the shrimp tacos, and they were filled to the brim with fresh shrimp and garnished perfectly. The chips and salsa were great starters as well. This place has really improved its ambiance since my last visit, adding a few cute decorations. I look forward to coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tequila Mexican Restaurant is a hidden gem! I was blown away by the variety on the menu and the freshness of each dish that was served. The chicken fajitas were done to crispy perfection and served with all the right toppings. The environment was casual yet clean, making it perfect for family gatherings or even a date night. Just a tip: Don’t skip the dessert; the flan is to die for! " (*Curated Review*)

" I truly appreciated the fast service at Tequila; food came out in record time! However, the ordering format felt more like a fast food chain, which was off-putting. My dish was chicken mole, which I enjoyed despite its mildness. I might return, but I do hope they maintain some level of traditional service. " (*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*)
