The service was fast and no problems. Food was ok, nothing bad and nothing great. I would try another Mexican Restaurant next time.

Food was amazing. We had a dinner for 2 and it was too much for 2 people. We could have easily shared it with one or both of our kids. We live out of town, but would definitely go back when in the area.

The helpings here are HUGE! Shrimp tacos came with 4 tortillas and a plate the size of a drum head! Tasty. Good salsa AND slaw brought to the table with chips and filled whenever empty.

Excellent Mexican restaurant! I've tried a sampling of different items from the menu - all were fantastic. The salsa is hot and the Mexican coleslaw dip is delicious. Friendly staff, great service. A+

Stop in to Tequila's for a diverse menu and wonderful margaritas. Their menu us quite extensive from traditional dishes to a nice assortment of seafood selections. Our group enjoyed fajitas, the excellent enchiladas in mole sauce and the camarones with peppers, bacon and onions. All were excellent. On a recent Sunday evening they were packed with locals enjoying the food.

Tequila's is so authentic and wonderful. The service is quick, food is great, and the prices are well below the quality. The dinning room is a little crowded though. Not a place to go for a quiet romantic dinner.

Great food, fast service. Staff is very friendly. Love the cabbage dip! I ordered a beef burrito but got a chicken burrito instead, but it was very good!

This was the favorite place we ate on our entire week-long trip. I have been craving it since. It might be worth the 7 hour drive back to Cortez for. The cabbage salsa was different and delicious! We ordered steak fajitas (our go-to at any Mexican restaurant) and these were the best we have ever had. My husband had a... More

This is a pretty popular place as the restaurant was packed when we arrived (without reservations). They serve excellent signature marguaritas made from fresh lime juice and not the usual mix. The menu is entirely northern Mexican fare but the helpings are very generous and quite tasty. Service is quick and friendly. You can't really miss out on this place,... More
