Tequila’s Mexican Restaurant

BEST MEXICAN FOOD EVER. the portions are huge and I looooove the staff!!! It’s so good and there are so many different food choices. Also amazing margaritas probably I’ve heard good things, but I am only 20. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ will be taking my family back.

I stopped in for dinner after a long day of traveling, not many «authentic» mexican restaurants in these parts of Colorado. The Chile Relleno was well prepared, the cheese enchiladas were sloppy and runny just as I suspected they would be. At least the beer was cold and the salsa had some bite to it.

We stopped at this little restaurant because it seemed to be the only locally owned establishment within the highway 50 stretch. Not only did they have 2 for 1 margaritas, which were excellent by the way, our meals were flavorful and well priced. The staff was friendly and jovial; honestly, they made us not want to hit the road again. Make sure to check this place out highway 50 road-​trippers.

Oooooh fabulous! Excellent fajitas, margaritas, salsa and more! We will be back. Loved it.

We went there for lunch today. I ordered a chicken fajita burrito. The chicken tasked wonderful and there was a huge portion of food. My daughter wanted to get a fried ice cream, and she has never had one before. It tasted great and was big, all 4 of us ate it, way too much for one person.

Good place to stop for lunch. Good food in large portions and friendly staff. I had the tacos rancheros and was well satisfied. Will return.

This is a micro-​chain. Restaurants around the state. Friendly staff. Order the smallest margarita. Small is a large. Pollo Verde and Carne Asada are both strong. Salsa is mediocre but cabbage that comes with chips is fantastic. Ok with the staples (pollo Asada and enchiladas) but better with the Pollo Adobo and more traditional Mexican dishes.

The absolute worst taco salad I’ve ever had. It was supposed to be ground beef and was something like chili instead. It totally soaked the taco shell and was inedible. My husband enjoyed his meal though. And they had 2 for 1 margaritas the night we were there, so husband and I ordered that and then when the check came they said it had to be per person, so we had to pay full price for them. Will not go back ever. Lesson learned

Enjoyed this place. The menu is HUGE. Service was really friendly and efficient. Prices were reasonable. Décor was nice and comfortable. Place was very clean. Authentic recipes with plenty to chose from.
We were just passing through town and Unilocal directed us here. Would stop here again.

Fast service. Bad food. Poor quality meats and not fresh veggies beans rice. Bartender is fast and makes good margs. They are trying to dressing up a 5 $ plate of inexpensive Mexican food as a 10 – 12 $ plate.

So, this visit was a disaster! Her medium Margarita turned out to be a Jumbo, and was left half drank. I ordered a burrito with cheese instead of beef and it was cold shredded cheese. We had a kiddo who wasn’t feeling well so she took him to the car, I had a hard time getting someone so I could pay the tab and leave.
So all in all, I am done with this restaurant.

Best… tortilla… soup…EVER! I LOVE this place. Always a great place to eat and everyone is so kind. I never thought I would love soup… until now!:) EAT HERE! That’s all I can say!:) you won’t be unhappy!

Service was not good. Waited to too long to order. Waited too long for check, etc. Bought a gift certificate through
. The
app allows you to pay by showing your gift certificate on your phone so you don’t have to print it out. When we went to pay, they said they only take printed coupons «because we don’t want the IRS to think we’re not paying our taxes.» I am TOTALLY serious. She said that! I asked for a manager who told me «I’ll do it for you this one time.» Which works out perfectly because we’ll NEVER be back.

Being from Southern CA and moving to the Grand Junction area, I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to find good «authentic» Mexican food. I was wrong and very happy for it!
I have visited both of Tequila’s locations in GJ and they are equal in quality, service, very yummy food and the BEST margarita’s in the Grand Valley!
One of my ways of rating a Mexican food restaurant is to try their Chili Relleno. I was leery when they asked if I wanted it crispy or not as I had never been asked that question before and was sure I would be disappointed. I ordered it «crispy» and delighted in every last delicious melty, cheesy bite! I will say their Relleno was even better than homemade back in CA.
All in all, I have no issues with the atmosphere (the location on North Ave was a bit noisy, but it was a busy Friday night — so to be expected) or the service, but even if I did, the food and cocktails would still bring me back.
