Excellent service and great food. I had the Al Pastor tacos. Some of the best I have ever had.

Good dinner on a rainy evening. This place is nothing fancy. But if you like good basic Mexican food this is your place. Service was good tonight. Combo #9 was solid and washed down with a happy hour margarita fortified with an extra shot. Still messed up with jet lag, but this was good ole comfort food. read more

For a random quick bar stop it was great! I stopped in after a long work shift to sit at the bar, service was super fast, polite and friendly! The host and staff were all very attentive. Unfortunately I did not get a good picture of my ground beef tacos and I just missed their happy hour by 8 minutes at 7pm but no issue the prices are very reasonable. Left with a to go margarita and a smile! Definitely will keep in mind for a random bar day read more

Casa Tequila Bar & Grill - Chips and Salsa - Mexican Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Here now, restaurant full of patrons and there is one server and one bartender. Took 10 minutes for someone to seat us and another 10 for a server to approach us only to tell us that there is a 20-30 wait on the food and asked if we wanted to stay. Since this was our first and last time here we opted to stay. Big mistake, ordered the empanadas took one bite and they were ice cold. Took another 20 minutes for the bartender to come over so that we could tell her. The response was ok. Clearly this wasn't the place for us. read more

I came here for an early dinner before the Marine Corps Marathon. I got here at about a quarter to 6, so the place was pretty empty. There were 2 other parties at the bar. I believe they were both doing a little pre-Halloween party drinking as they were dressed up in costumes. After looking over their menu, I ordered their Steak Veracruz. While I waited for my food, the bartender gave me water as well as some chips and salsa. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much, but it turned out to be a pretty good steak with shrimp and scallops. I always love a good surf and turf. read more

Came to watch the game. Enjoyed a flight of margaritas with different flavors. We both got birria. One quesadilla and 3 tacos. Service was nice and pretty quick and always available. They do close a bit early so we had to go somewhere else. Food was decent I would come back mainly for the drinks. They could've played some music as well. read more

We stopped in on a Saturday evening, just two of us. We were seated immediately and the restaurant wasn't too crowded or busy. The servers were attentive. The restaurant is roomy and the booths are big. It is comfortable. Music reminds me of home (San Antonio, TX). The food was okay. My sister had the Quesadillas and Platanos. Both were good. I had Nachos. What was not good were the drinks. We each ordered Top Shelf Margaritas. The Margaritas were weak tasting, did not seem to be made of freshly squeezed lime as described in the menu, and very little alcohol. We let the staff know and were provided a shot of Tequila to add, but that didn't help much. The server was very insistent that they were made as described, so rather than argue we just drank them. I advise, you may not want to come here looking for a decent Margarita. We paid just over $33. for two Top Shelf Margaritas, but nothing about them said Top Shelf. read more

Wanted something different for lunch instead of the typical Subway or even WholeFoods. So glad I stopped in Casa Tequila! Ordered the lunch portion chimichanga and it was delicious. For $12 you get the chimichanga and it comes with guacamole sour cream and rice and beans. I mean come on you definitely can't beat that. The gentleman who took my order was very friendly and the food came out fast. I will definitely be back as they seem to have weekly happy hour specials. read more

*Quarantine Order Pickup* I was craving a taco salad and am glad I decided to try Casa Tequila Bar & Grill. The gentleman taking my order was super nice and friendly. We hit a small language hiccup but lucky for me the app I've been using during quarantine to learn Spanish saved us! In my best beginner Spanish I was able to order a shrimp taco salad and even a frozen mango margarita!! My overall experience was 100. The food was a 92. The freshness was very delightful. Every element of the taco salad was very well made with the exception of the refried beans that were a tad salty for my taste. In spite of that, I would definitely recommend Casa Tequila Bar and I will be placing another order soon. Bon appetit! read more

We were craving some Mexican food this weekend and decided to order from Casa Tequila. My husband had the enchiladas suizas and I had the seafood chimichangas deluxe. To be honest, I was not "wowed" but it wasn't horrible. More like middle of the line. The chimichangas were good but lacking in terms of size and stuffing, however the seafood was very fresh! My husband liked his enchiladas suizas but again wasn't raving over them! I did see some other items on the menu I'd like to try so I'm not giving up on this restaurant just yet!! read more

Meh... I ordered seafood enchiladas, but they were okay. Nothing special. The rice was bland and the "special sauce" had a weird flavor. I ended up using a lot of sour cream. My server was really nice though, so that's a plus. Ambience was cute from the outside, but basic vibes inside. read more

Food is not worth the price. Service is very slow. Waited 10 minutes to get pre made margaritas and a beer. Food was salty and did not have much flavor.

Absolutely wretched! Worst fajitas I've ever had. We ordered delivery from here, they forgot our tortillas and gave us a second bag of chips instead of the churros we ordered. The fajita sides were unimpressive with a sad dollop of brown guacamole and sour cream everywhere, but the rice and beans were fine. The fajitas, however, were the worst I've ever had. They was very little meat - all peppers and onions - and the fajita sauce was very sweet, it ate more like stir-fry than fajita. Do not recommend at all! read more

Came here for lunch with coworkers. They gave us chips and salsa and we ordered the queso dip. Order it. Thank me later. I got the shrimp tacos. DELICIOUS. The tacos came with 2 sauces. One was kind of creamy. I loved that one. I have no clue what the other sauce was but it was too dang spicy for me. Tacos also came with beans and rice on the side. I'm not sure what others ordered but everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. Parking garage directly across the street. $15 for less than 2 hours. read more

This is Alexandria restaurant & bar serves authentic Mexican food and drinks. It has the look of an old diner with large windows wrapping around the bar but modern decor as a few large screen televisions. It's in a nice part of town a little off the popular strip but within walking distance. The food is great. I was happy to find a place where I can get chili rellenos. Enjoy the queso with a cold beer and catch a Nats game on TV while you wait. Oh and if you want to brush up on your Spanish speaking you can do that too, the staff are friendly. read more

Lol, so I'm not sure how this place has 4 stars because it is not a pleasant experience. I will never come back here -- even if someone suggests it. A couple of things: - happy hour is only offered at their small bar although it's plastered all over the window. Even then, our waitress told us the lime margarita was the only thing available. Oh, by the way she told me after I sat down and ordered something. - I ordered the casa favorite salad..came with no special dressing. They only had ranch and Caesar...which neither comes with it. You have to ask. I guess they thought the black bean juice and avocado would be enough. - I wanted tajin on the rims of marg flight...extra charge!!! WTF? - my friend ordered a chicken quesadilla to go...she left it bc it was so nasty...not even worth trying to fix. It was literally chopped chicken breast with cheese. No flavor at all. - FINALLY, they try to charge a 18% service charge no matter the party size which is not posted anywhere! I asked our waitress about it and she kinda brushed us off and said "I can get the manager, that's the computer." The manager understood my frustration and removed it...which lets me know that they know they're wrong. Plus, my service and experience was barely worth 15%. I probably would have tipped my waitress better, but after I asked about the service charge, she just disappeared, never to be seen again...I didn't want to tip anything after that, but I'm a nice person. PROS: nice decor and music. Bottom line: There are much better places in the area. read more

Okay... so I've ordered from here twice... first time for my husband... sorry, but my husband ate the food before I had a chance to snap a pic and post a review. Today I decided to order for "us" I placed an order through Doordash for a ceviche mixto (obsessed w/ ceviche) Casa Tequila's was pretty good, I must admit. I wish it had a little more heat but "delicious"! I ordered a combo fajita mix (chicken, steak and shrimp) for my husband.... he ate the entire platter, which in husband terms means it was bomb AF.... lol! He usually eats a little and save the rest for the next day.... I ordered the seafood fajita for myself. Which came with shrimp and scallops.... although it was pretty good. My shrimp were over cooked (for me).... The only disappointment part of our order was the Sangria. There an "odd" ingredient... like vanilla or something. That is different from other other white sangrias I had... ultimately, this place is in rotation. But moving forward, I will stop being lazy and order directly from the restaurant and pick it up. So far, super delicious and look forward to trying other items on the menu read more

Decided to go out for dinner yesterday a Friday visit was not fun and we will not be returning. The food is definitely a bad experience, seems to be a lot of corners cut when it comes to quality food being served. Overall the experience we had was HORRIBLE, The owner should be embarrassed and the whole experience felt very cheap. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant at all. read more

UPDATE: We left a cash tip and our server Julio L decided to give himself an additional $10 tip on the credit card. Very unethical. I do not recommend this restaurant. This used to be our go to spot but sadly, not anymore. I didn't even get a chance to sit down and take off my jacket before being asked what appetizer I wanted to order. The quality of the food has gone very downhill. The salsa is essentially tomato sauce, the chicken was very dry, and overall not great. Our server Julio L was terrible. He didn't ask how the food was, served expired beer, did not get the order right, and didn't thank us for our business. Very disappointing experience. Will not be going back. read more

I really liked this place. My boyfriend and I decided to try here for lunch today because the reviews on Yelp were decent. The service, drinks, and food were really good.

We were having a girls weekend and were staying at the Embassy Suites which is in walking distance. We actually visited twice. First night was just my mom and I and we had cheese dip, quesadillas, and a margarita flight. The flight was super tasty and we got to pick 4 flavors as it said on the menu. 2 days later all the ladies went and they only allowed them to pick 2 flavors instead of the 4. Overall it was pretty good. read more

I love Mexican food and I definitely love tacos. I have been to some of the best spots around the country. I am always trying a new spot when they pop up in the DMV. Trust me when I say do not waste your time with a visit here. There are much, much better Mexican options in the area. The food quality here just does not stack up to demand restaurant quality pricing. The meals are lacking flavor, off textures, poor presentation, and being overcooked at the same time. I am almost certain even the average at home cook can do much better. Honestly, taco bell would have been a better option. If I had to say anything positive. The beer was cold. (about the best I can do). read more

Dropping my 5 stars to 1. Went here again to find that the staff allowed a patron to keep their dog under the table, inside the restaurant, water bowl and all. NOTE TO MANAGER: Animals are laden with all kinds of nasty bacteria, parasites, worms, bugs, and germs. Fine for petting but they don't belong in a public restaurant. You know this. It's why health codes were passed prohibiting this, unless it's a service dog, which this wasn't. It's so you don't make other customers sick and your employees don't track those germs back to a kitchen where food is prepared and make everyone sick. If you felt like you were accommodating that customer, you just lost a whole future of meals from this one. Nastiness. read more

Howdy, Thanks for the read first of all. Staff and decor.... 5x5... very modern and inviting... Staff friendly, prompt, polite and happy. Now the proverbial meat and potatoes.... read the reviews and as expected it's a mixed bag... drop the raves and rants and you have what I honestly feel is an mid to upscale designed eatery with beautiful modern decor and in class, mid line food as well... I had the Beef Burritos with chips, salsa and Caso Blanco with a bit of chorizo. Salsa was a coocked variant from canned tomatoes but was tasty and free with meal. Queso was tasty but very soupy and thin... it was warm when it arrived and Thickened slightly but remained very thin... like I said tastey.. just not my personal face on consistancy. Beef Burritos had yummy diced steak inside that had a subtle but tastey flavor and texture. When o think of a Burrito I reflect to southwest style of a large flour tortilla stuffed and rolled... this offering wasn't that... however two smaller flour tortilla rolled open ended and topped with green salsa, cheese and served with a bit of lettuce, salsa fresca and a touch of guac with rice on the far side... All said, it was a pleasing meal but not what I am accustomed to as mexican fare... doesnt mean it wasn't good nor does it mean it wasn't mexican... I only say this as encouragement for folks to get over themselves, realize they are not home, they are not in Kali, they are not in Texas.... you are in the DC Capitol Region and new, alternative and stylized offerings sing here. Well done folks... I'd eat here again. read more

My wife and I walked in hoping for something similar to Don Julio's. We got something more akin to Don Knotts. Put simply, and separate from the seemingly nice staff, this is quite possibly the worst "Mexican" restaurant I've visited. We saw the sandwich board advertising "happy hour" drinks and food and were pleasantly excited. We strolled in and were seated immediately in a booth. We asked for a high table and were pleasantly accommodated. We ordered a tequila and beer, were provided some chips and salsa, and dug in. First, the salsa: I seem to recall a childhood concoction of playing with ketchup and sugar packets. I believe they used that along with some onion and vinegar. The chips? Meh. Lukewarm, and lacking in any authenticity. At least the tequila was good and beer was cold. When our waitress returned, we asked for the happy hour menu. She looked at us incredulously, and said the happy hour was only available in the bar. She made no attempt to reseat us, even after we told her we were only there for the happy hour. That was pretty egregious but the salsa was more offensive. When I asked if they had a hotter salsa, she said, "this is our salsa." When I asked her if they had any hot sauce, she brought Cholula. And that's fine, if you are a breakfast-serving American fare place. But that was it! That's all they had. No "I can ask the chef if he can make something for you." It might as well have been Tabasco. In the end, I wish we had gone to IKEA: at least then, we would have paid a reasonable price for a halfway decent meal and had furniture to take home. read more
