" Had a lovely dinner experience at Tequila. The food was great, and the decor reminded me of a classic Mexican cantina. I had the beef tacos which were packed with flavor and generous in portion. The staff was friendly and attentive, though it did take a while for my food to arrive. Overall, a commendable spot in town for authentic Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is highly recommended for its tacos! I tried their fish tacos, which were delightful and fresh. The service is quick and the staff is so friendly. It feels like a real family-run establishment! The only downside was that the margaritas were a bit too sweet for my taste but still enjoyable. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family has been coming here for years, and it never disappoints. The food is consistently good with generous portions. My favorite is the chicken enchiladas—always creamy and full of flavor! The staff remembers us, which adds to the whole experience. Just a heads-up, it can get pretty busy over the weekend, but it’s worth the wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to Tequila, and I was intrigued by the extensive menu. I stuck to the classics and ordered the tacos al pastor. They were good but lacked the punch of flavor I was hoping for. The service was prompt but it didn’t feel very personal. Overall, not a bad experience, but I'm not sure if I’d rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really enjoy coming to Tequila, but last night was not the best. While the enchiladas were good, they were a bit overcooked. I mentioned it to my server and she truly appreciated my feedback. The atmosphere is usually lively and fun, perfect for gatherings with friends. I’ll give it another chance, but perhaps I’ll order something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! The food here is incredible! From the moment we walked in, we felt like family. The staff is incredibly warm, and the atmosphere felt cozy. I specially enjoyed their pico de gallo that seemed fresh and full of flavor. I tried the shrimp fajitas and they were perfectly grilled. I can’t recommend Tequila enough for anyone wanting an authentic experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently moved to the area and was recommended Tequila by a neighbor. What a find! The meal was absolutely delightful! I had the carne asada and it was cooked to perfection with a side of their freshly made guacamole, which was delicious. The atmosphere felt warm and inviting, perfect for a family dinner or catching up with friends. I'm excited for all my future visits! " (*Curated Review*)
