    10 oz Ribeye
    Sheldon H.

    It would appear that all of my belly aching (pun fully intended) on Yelp about the lack of legitimate "Tex-Mex" restaurants in Corpus has somehow translated into prayers, thus delivering La Tequila Jalisco to town. At least that's the story in my head, and I choose to believe it. Hyperbole aside, this place is the real deal. I feel qualified in making this assessment as I believe I have expert first-hand experience on evaluating Tex-Mex based on merit. If you want to just take my word on it, just peruse my reviews. La Tequila is new to town. When it first opened, I thought we were getting another high-end taqueria. While you could arguably say it fits that bill as well, my assessment is that it is Tex-Mex. I have been here several times recently. I have thoroughly enjoyed every experience, from food to service quality. You can tell they are really trying, which is why I will continue to support them as long as they keep it up.

    Specialty drink!

    Top notch service! First of all they give you a tiny bowl of Fideo to start with and they immediately grabbed my heart. The restaurant is decorated in an interesting way with black and white portraits. It has a warm inviting feel to it, and was very clean. We ordered several dishes (pictures added), and everything tasted so good. Try their margaritas and charro beans!

    Cazuela .  drink for 1 ??? lol
    Erica M.

    Been here several times and have tried a lot of different plates. The mixed fajitas parradilla plate is so frickin good. Could easily feed 2 people, 4 if they're on Ozempic. Good mix of beef, chicken, and shrimp fajitas, plus sides and tortillas and hot sauce. Everybody gets a complimentary small bowl of fideo with the chips n salsa. The Cazuela drink is comically large, I thght I was being pranked when they brought it out. Great taste with alot of fresh oranges , great presentation. The bar area is tucked away for Sancho/Sancha/Tinder date nights. There's big TVs , high top tables , great neon signs. They had karaoke going too in the main dining area. Wait staff was very attentive. Really good vibe here. Highly recommend !

    Chilaquiles en salsa verde
    Alejandra D.

    Had a great breakfast today at La Tequila! Their chilaquiles with salsa verde were super tasty and the tortilla was crunchy. Their molletes with refried beans, chorizo and eggs was really good too. Great service as well, we'll definitely be back to their their lunch.

    This place came HIGHLY recommended to us from my family. They said this is where you get authentic…read moreMexican cuisine. As a vegan, that made me excited because actual Mexican food usually has less cheese and can be made vegan. The business is quaint. There was a friendly hostess to welcome us in and our server was very hospitable. We ordered the chile relleno without cheese, zucchini in pasilla pepper sauce, and mole verde off the vegetarian options on the menu. We also enjoyed guacamole and chips. Our server was happy to accommodate our vegan modifications and it was really easy to communicate with him. The flavors are just WOW! Hands down the best guacamole of my life. The sauces are vibrant and rich. Everything tasted so fresh. And the prices for this quality of food cannot be beat. My husband and I literally licked sauce off the plates to make sure we did not miss one ounce of that authentic Mexican flavor. This place is top of our list of businesses to visit next time we are in town visiting family. We had an incredible experience and cannot wait to continue to explore the vegetarian menu options.

    After searching online for places with strong ratings (4.5 stars or higher), we decided to try…read moreGuajillos. Unfortunately, our experience didn't match the reviews. I'm not a professional food critic, but I do know seasoning, regional Mexican flavors, and what well‑prepared food should taste like -- and this just wasn't it for us. The restaurant didn't feel well-kept, and it appeared that only one server and one cook were working, plus we and another couple were the only ones there. We were served chips and salsa to start. The salsa, a taquera‑style orange sauce, was actually the best part of the meal. The chips, however, were extremely hard, not fresh, and definitely not warm. They looked house‑made, but whatever they were fried in made them almost inedible. I ordered the ribeye street tacos, and the steak was overcooked, had an odd taste, and wasn't enjoyable. I asked for extra cilantro and onions, which didn't happen, and the chimichurri they brought out was basically oil with a few seasonings floating in it. I almost complimented the Dr Pepper because it had a unique sweetness -- until I realized why. The red glass had visible staining on the inside. When I wiped the rim with my napkin, it came off dirty. They also don't offer straws, so whatever residue was in that glass is what you end up drinking. Between the food quality, the cleanliness concerns, and the overall condition of the restaurant, this was a no for us. How this place has earned such high mentions is honestly beyond me.

The most authentic flavor item in my lunch was the refried beans that look like poop at first sight. Rice was bland with cumin flavor and the mole was the most disappointing. Might as well have called them regular enchiladas, the flavor was basic taco mix with a tiny taste of mole. Just a thick cumin or comino paste. Enchiladas should be dripping with sauce in the inside. These were dry tortillas that were barely garnished with sauce on top. The chicken inside was very flavorul but dry. Then the 16 oz lemonade was 4$ and it was super sour ! I never leave reviews. But this was truly disappointing.

I've never had them served this way but was not disappointed. No horseradish served here, fyi. We also got queso fundido which was delicious- portion seemed small but made three full tacos. Draft beer was cold, Bloody Mary was outstanding. Their specialty cocktails looked amazing. I'd love to try but i was really itching for a bloody that day. Our waiter had to be called for everything, we didn't even get silverware or napkins. When we called we got bar napkins while every other guest had proper utensils. Overall, great experience, I'd go back and sit at the bar next time.
