This restaurant is definitely something, this food is honestly not that good, but I mean the service is kinda good and I only say that because they gave us free shots one time, but the restaurant high-key kinda smells like caca. read more

This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Medina! The chips and salsa are always very fresh! We love the steak and shrimp fajitas! The margaritas are the best! This place is always crowded! The service is excellent and so fast! There's lots of seating and there's a brand new bar! Fun place! read more

Went with a rather large group, and despite our size, the service was fast. Can't speak to the drinks cuz I was boring and only had a taco salad. Prices are super reasonable and there are a ton of menu choices. read more

Anyone providing less than a 5 star rating is lying about their name. Their real name is "Karen" or "Ken". This is the best restaurant in Medina. Wonderful owner and staff. Wonderful service. Fantastic food. 'Reasonable prices' would be an understatement. Fantastic. read more

Visited Don Tequila after a long hiatus. Upon arrival, we were immediately seated while chips and salsa were delivered. Our drink requests were taken and I went with a Modelo Negro because they had it on tap. The chips were a little too crunchy/thick, they lacked salt, and the salsa wasn't great. For dinner, I requested the David's Special. The meal was pretty good, but a tad on the salty side. I wish the mushrooms were more apparent in the dish. My wife ordered steak fajitas and I thought they tasted a little funky, but she liked them. For dessert, we requested fried ice cream and I explained to my son just how amazing fried ice cream was. When we received it 2 minutes after requesting it, it became apparent that they had deep fried the ice cream a day or two earlier and threw it back in the freezer. We couldn't get our spoons through it. It was like we were poking a rock. It was flavorless. Honestly, it was the worst fried ice cream I've ever had. So that was disappointing. Overall, I'd say the food quality has declined since our last visit. read more

Ordered food tonight went out with a friend for her birthday. Told the server twice because he seemed like he didn't understand the first time no tomato no rice can't have tomatoes. Here comes my food tomatoes all over the plate. I said you're gonna have to take it back I can't eat the tomatoes. They can't just be scraped off. Bring it back two minutes later with the tomato scraped off the plate. how do I know this because you could see where the rest of them were left on the plate I said I can't eat tomatoes. You're gonna have to make it new so finally after the fourth time of bringing it out they got everything right and still didn't listen. Didn't put any of my sauces on the plate just put the food and it was nasty and cold. I could get better food at Taco Bell and that's not saying much then when I talk to the manager because this gentleman wasn't understanding what I was saying for some reason, he comes back over after the manager leaves and starts to be writing me and telling me he don't make the food in the back and it's not his problem and I said will you give them the order I said so what is your problem? I said you tell him no tomatoes, no rice and then you bring it out with tomatoes on it. You know you didn't look at the plate or what that place is subpar at best if you want good Mexican food there's better places around here to get it and this one is not it. read more

Bug in my daughters drink. They scolded me for not telling them sooner- we literally flagged them when we saw it. They were rude about it and blamed the door being opened when people come in. Try cleaning out the ice bin. Worst Mexican I have had. Daughter refuses to go back. Shouldn't shock anyone that a photo was taken of this disgusting experience. Next time don't treat your customers like the issue. A little concern goes a long way versus laughing at it. read more

Don Tequila Mexican Restaurant - Bug in drink - Mexican Near Me - Medina, Ohio

This place is awesome! Food is fresh and well prepared. The Texas fajitas have large, tender shrimp, tender beef and chicken. The margaritas are delicious. The staff are five star and the owner is wonderful and kind! Give them a try. read more

Speedy fast service. A diamond in the rough surrounded in a shopping plaza! This Mexican restaurant brings out your order just as fast as you put it in. The service and food are both great. The menu is full of your typical Mexican options and something for almost everyone. I went with the grande burrito but instead of chicken or beef I asked if I could get chorizo. I was impressed that I was able to custom my burrito without any extra cost. The burrito was full of great flavor and very filling. I look forward to the next time I visit. read more

This place is my all time favorite! The foods great the service is 10/10. The total vibe of the place is so friendly i absolutely love it there. Today ( Valentines Day) they were handing out roses !! 10/10 recommend ! read more

Nestled back off of N. Court, Street ( Pearl Road) is one of Medina's gems of a restaurant. The decour is entertaining, the staff friendly, and the seating ample and comfortable. The menu is varied and well thought out. Chicken fajitas for two is our all-time favorite but once in a while we break away from tradition and try a combo platter. The food is always good, the service quick and friendly, and we never go away hungry. Looking for good Mexican food? Give them a try, you will not be disappointed read more

Super fast service, always a winner, love the fajitas! They provide fresh food and always top quality. I hope that never changes. read more

Prompt service and the food came out fast and hot. The food was very good and the server kept our drinks full. I wish their salsa wasn't so thin, but otherwise, I would definitely return for another meal. read more

The atmosphere is fun, the food is amazing, love the strawberry/banana margarita, and the customer service is awesome

As far standard Mexican places go, this place is the best. I love the Chile Verde and my main squeeze likes the pollo con crema. read more

Don Tequila Mexican Restaurant - I love the big portions! - Mexican Near Me - Medina, Ohio

Chips were thick and lacked salt. Salsa was bland. The rice was bland. The meat in the tacos was bland. Everything lacked spice and flavor. Better off going to Fiesta Jalepeno or going home and maxing your own Mexican. Definitely not worth it! read more

You could pass by this gem in the corner and never realize it but THIS is a great spot for authentic and creative Mexican food! Walking in it's bright and colorful with warm and friendly staff who are super prompt to get your order in and out of the kitchen. Chips and salsa are fresh and food is delicious! The best part is the price is super affordable - especially if you're in for lunch specials! They have great coupons and all around this place is MUY BUENO! read more

We have been going to Don Tequila for years. We love the food here and are always pleased with the value. The service has changed over the years but the owner works hard to keep this place running well and his customers happy. read more

This was our first time eating at this restaurant. We were looking forward to some good Mexican food on our way through Ohio going back to Kansas. We were extremely disappointed in the food and the waiter. The food tasted like a frozen low-calorie low calorie enchilada and a horrible beef taco. I don't know where the good reviews came from but we thought it was very bad! I would've gave it a -5 if I could have. read more

Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon, service was fast BUT the ground beef in both our meals tasted like it was puréed. No flavor what so ever. The salsa is too tomato tasting for our like. After food was delivered never saw server again; I realize he was the only one but you always check back. Will not be back read more

We stopped here for a later dinner. We both got the shrimp fajitas which were very tasty - large shrimp and very well prepared. Veggies were good too. Accompaniments were typical. Chips were excellent. Service was great. Texas margaritas were quite tasty too. We will be back. read more

I've dined here several times and I've never been disappointed. The food is great, and the staff are friendly. Prices are fair, and normal for a Mexican restaurant. One thing to keep in mind, which could be good or bad depending on what you want, is the food comes out pretty quick. If you want a quick dinner, no worries. If you want a longer experience, just don't order right away and enjoy the chips and salsa! Bottom line - great place for good Mexican food! read more

Update: the food had negative results on my digestive system that evening. Food not bad. Carnitas were very tasty, the salsa a bit bland but add some hot sauce and it was perfect. The service is the reason for the score. Very slow considering it was early and not very crowded. Had to ask twice for boxes and check. Server took my card to the cashier and never came back. I had to go retrieve it, it was just there on the counter. Anyone could have taken it. Server was nice I just think the cashier was to return it and forgot. The hostess (Anglo not Hispanic) was not very nice, no greeting no goodbye. read more

Even with a party of 20, they accommodated us with a smile. I've never had a bad meal here, and the service is always pleasant. They'll make you wear a sombrero on your birthday, but it's okay. No one will stare at you when they sing the birthday song loudly and clap and cheer for you. Okay, everyone will stare. But, you won't mind, since you just drank that monster margarita. read more

Weakest margarita I've ever had and we ordered the Texas margarita. We even ordered a shot of Grand Marnier to add to the pitcher but it didn't help enough. Chicken fajitas were good but beans and rice were pretty bland. read more

This is my favorite Mexican spot in Medina. Everything on the menu is good from start to finish. Excellent selection of Jarritos as well, I recommend the tamarind flavor. Their salsa is very good and chip quality is high. Their quest is very good as well. My favorite dish is the carnitas dinner. Nice little quiet spot. read more

You will find your typical Mexican quick prepared food here, but don't let that turn you off. Service is good, pricing is good. Food is good, exactly what you would expect from what I call "typical" Mexican American restaurant. Owner seems to Always be around and that is comforting. Clean and friendly. Good margaritas. This is the best Mexican restaurant in Medina city. Large and comforting seating, great for large groups and family's. Nothing out of the ordinary here, but that is ok when you want well priced decent food and drink. read more

First time here. I see right outside are the daily specials. Very very good prices. Complimentary toasted chips and salsa. Very warm atmosphere and smooth music. The food came out very quick and hot. I ordered one of the combination dinners that consisted of a beef burrito, beef enchilada, and a quesadilla. All very good. I read another review that mentioned the combo meals aren't very much food. After eating it, I would say for the price, it is good. You shouldn't be too hungry after and not too full either.Looks little from the outside but it has good room on the inside, and the service was alright overall. I would come back to this restaurant. read more

Stopped in last Sunday with some friends. I think it's always interesting to see what kind of crowds are in a Mexican restaurant on a Sunday evening because that tells me something about the restaurant. Don Tequila's had a fairly nice crowd. Maybe the $2.50 lime margaritas had something to do with it, but, if it does, that's just good marketing on their part. Lots of Mexican restaurants I've been to would be hard pressed to cover their costs on Sundays. The $2.50 lime margaritas are good. Try one. I also enjoyed the salsa, presented in small carafes with everyone getting their own small bowel so there is no worry about double dipping. And I was perfectly satisfied with my 3 enchilada dinner. Don't remember what it was called but it came with one cheese enchilada, one ground beef enchilada and one chicken enchilada, each covered in a different sauce. And the customary rice and beans. I was able to substitute the chicken for pork with no difficulty, and I am happy I did. The pork was seared nicely to bring out the flavor and was probably the best enchilada of the three. The people I was with thought the food was only O.K. I thought it was better than O.K. And the staff was friendly and helpful. Don Tequila is a "sister" to Patrons in Wadsworth. While I liked Don Tequila I would probably chose to return to Patron's if I'm with my same friends. After all, I did give Patron's 5-stars. read more

Don Tequila Mexican Restaurant - Celebrating a birthday. - Mexican Near Me - Medina, Ohio

This is the most authentic Mexican restaurant I've been to in this area. Every time I go, I order something different and I've never been disappointed. The portions are large and delicious. The service is fast and friendly. Early in 2015, they doubled the size of the restaurant with an addition, so there is never a wait. I just love this place. read more

Don Tequila Mexican Restaurant - Chimichanga Loca. Delicious! Beef, chicken, shrimp, peppers & onions. Rice & beans included. - Mexican Near Me - Medina, Ohio

After experiencing a not so good visit at another Mexican restaurant I thought I should leave a review for this one... I've been going to Don Tequila's for about 10 years and have never been disappointed. The service is always great, the food is always great and the prices are great. Even on a busy night, it is great. The place really is just...you guessed it, great! I recently moved from Medina to about 45 min away and will be making the drive to Medina to enjoy this place. It is my fav and always will be.... read more

This place was good the first few time but I went to get it a few weeks ago and got food poisoning. Will not go back.

This is our favorite family Mexican spot. Service is always good and the food is tasty. What I like is not on the menu so they make it special for me. It's loud enough that my kids don't embarrass me but not so loud you can't enjoy your meal. There is a pretty big space off the side of the restaurant that only recently realized was more seating so we NEVER have to wait for a table. Most importantly... the margaritas are fantastic!!! read more

The wait staff work ethic seems to be declining. We have eaten there for years, sometimes twice a week. This last bunch of waiters, Manuel has hired lack a solid work ethic. Today we waited 15 minutes to get our order taken. The restaurant was empty. I found the waiters gabbing in the back corner when I went to the bathroom. It was still 5 minutes before our waiter came over to take our order. I go there a lot because this is generally low stress dining. This was the first time I can remember being angry over having to wait to get our order taken. I sure miss Rodriguez. read more

I've lived in Chicago, New York, Seattle... and I still look forward to coming home to Medina so I can eat at Don Tequila. There are two kinds of Mexican food I've found, gourmet Mexican ($10+/tapas/etc.) and your working-class Mexican (taco truck style/ street Mexican). Don Tequila is the latter and without a doubt the best I've come across anywhere. Even when I've found comparable food, it's never been as cheap and in as large quantity as Don's. For the price, you're not going to find better authentic Mexican food. The cherry on the proverbial deep-fried ice cream however, is the staff. Go here 2 or 3 times in the same month and they will know your name, what you usually order, ask you how your mother's doing...:) read more

So I'm sitting with some dude whos wearing a spider hat eating chips and salsa... sipping on a soda - Mountain Dew flavored - waiting on my chimis to arrive. Then all of a sudden the heavens part and who slips in the booth next to me? It's none other than Mike Carlson. "No thanks," he says passing on food, "I'll just have a soda in one of those glass bottles, lemon/lime if you will." SpiderHat pours him his own individual bowl of little salsa to avoid cross contamination and Carlson sits and munches - periodically drinking from his bottle from his oh so kissable lips. As I sit silently eating my scrumptious chicken chimis - I listen to SpiderHat and him discuss Carlson's most current girlfriend and how he took her to see Eclipse. If only I was lucky enough to attend the latest Twilight movie on the arm of a man like Carlson.... Or perhaps even the grace the dead bodies opened up for science display followed by a romantic dinner of grilled cheese at the Melt. But alas, I guess this girl is just gonna have to dream. Oh yah - and there's some pretty freakin' good Mexican food at this place. read more

First, I will say that Mexican food is high on my list! Love it! Plus, I was born & raised in Southern CA., where GOOD mexican restaurants are a dime a dozen. In northeast Ohio, however, not so much. Since having moved here in the mid-90's, I've tried many different Mexican restaurants, but - so far, have found only 3 that are worth your time & money. These include....(in no particular order)...... - Cozumel (which has 4 locations in this region). - Mallorca (in downtown Cleveland) - and, I'm glad to add DON TEQUILA to this short list. The first thing I noticed about Don Tequila Restaurant, was the nice easy-going atmosphere, with cantina music playing in the background, and a Very friendly, welcoming staff. Within 1 minute of being seated, a friendly server brought chips & salsa, and asked what we would like to drink. ((Bonus points!)) We ordered drinks, and then - at another nearby table, a group of employees began gathering around, clapping & festively shouting, etc. The server placed a HUGE sombrero on one girl's head, and they all sang "Happy birthday" to her. Now, obviously, this is nothing new in many restaurants, but here was a group of family & friends having a good time together, and, unlike some restaurants where the staff are obviously thinking: "Ohhhh great, another birthday. Let's hurry up 'n sing this dumb song again so we can get on with our lives"....the staff who were around that table (which was about 5-6 people), genuinely appeared to be having fun with the group, they sang well, and wished her a happy birthday. Ya know, it's just good to see moments when strangers can make a nice difference to someone on a special occasion. :) In any case, my date and I decided to order the steak fajitas for two. We had a very good time, and the place wasn't too loud, so we could have a conversation without having to shout. And, within 15 minutes, our food came out, still sizzling....everything looked and tasted great...the tortillas were warm, and the server made sure that we had salsa, etc. As for the food, itself, everything on our plates (including the steak, rice, refried beans, sour cream, fresh lettuce, guacamole, etc), was Very Good! Our server checked back a couple of times to see that everything was OK. I will definitely be back, and am glad to recommend this place! read more
