The food was great ! But unfortunately.... The service needs improvement. Our waitress could have been more attentive and friendlier—maybe she was having a bad day. Most of the staff spent a lot of time gathered near the hostess stand chatting and even singing like if we were in a karaoke instead of checking on tables. We had to flag our waitress down multiple times, and it felt like we were being ignored. Better focus on the customers would really improve the experience.

This is a great place to go with a big group as they handle the business like a pro! We were a party of 18 and we all got served fast and the people were super amicable! Food was fantastic, it’s not cheap but at least the plates are a good size and the food is delicious! Will definitely come back again! When I called in the mid afternoon to make a reservation for lunch, they were all so helpful and amicable… this is great customer service, and is what makes us coming back again! good job!

Best flavored Mexican food around. The service was impeccable. Lidia was very sweet and kind. You don't find service like that often. Reward your gem! Thank you Mr. Tequila! We will be back!

The quality of the dishes offered is always my primary concern and on this count Mr. Tequila has never disappointed. They offer truly authentic and generous meals. Tuesday taco night is a regular for us and has been for over a decade. The Yolanda combination is amazing. Service is the challenge. The crew just doesn’t do much to make you feel welcome from the time you enter until you leave. Waiting for extra water and salsa is a consistent issue. Lastly, the store itself is in urgent need of a refreshing. Tired floors, booths, chairs and walls are a distraction and the bathrooms need a total do over. I will continue to return as long as the food quality remains but would be hard pressed to bring friends. Hope they can step up their look : (

The carne asada dinner was really great. It came with a little guacamole, flour or corn tortillas, pico, rice and beans. It was cooked perfectly and served hot. Simple and to the point.

The place and decor was beautiful. The food wasn't bad. I wasn't exactly happy with their Elote (mexican street corn ) appetizer. It had very little mayo tajin and cheese. Usually other places I have been are more generous and it taste much better in quality too. The birria tacos weren't my top favorite but they definitely had their uniqueness to it especially since they offered grilled jalapeño and a generous side of sautéed onions on the side. That was different than what I've seen
