Great place, amazing food. We went with the two dishes our waiter recommended and they were so good. My husband got barbacoa and I got stuffed chicken breast. We ordered 2 shots and two Paloma's and the service was great. They were filled to the rim! Definitely go here. They have a small place area for the kids. And the tequila sorbet at the end was so so good! read more

While walking in, the first thing that catches your attention is the glass floor winery. You can see right thru it, pretty darn cool. Wonderful atmosphere. Aside from that, we were greeted and seated right away. Service was amazing and food was great. I got the mixed molcajete that had all three shrimp, beef and chicken. Had no complains about this place what's so ever. PS: A huge Menu with a bunch of different options so be prepared to choose one because they all sound amazing ;) read more

Beautiful atmosphere and authentic mexican cuisine options! There are endless tequila options and a good mix of mexican food entrees. I ordered a tamarind flavored margarita and chicken breast with four cheeses. The drink had a nice sweet/spicy taste and the dinner was the perfect combination of cheeses. read more

The hostess got on the phone instead of trying to find a way to accommodate our party of 9. There was 9yr old with us and they would not allowing on the second floor since he is under age. My grandparents and parents were there. The hostess did not even made an effort to speak to the general manager to see if it was possible to allow us to stay and do dinner. I like the food there but today they made a really bad impression. read more

This past Saturday, November 4th, I brought my family to have dinner at La Tequila and celebrate my sister's birthday. I had made a reservation via their online site and I followed up with an email where I described the reason for this dinner and my request to have a server that spoke English, since a person of my party didn't speak Spanish, and that I would like a dessert with a candle brought at the end of the dinner. I received an email confirming that, yes, they do have servers that speak English and one would be available for our dinner. The day for the dinner came and I arrived with my family. We were quickly seated next to the bar and our server arrived to take our drink orders, but we didn't have menus yet. I noticed that he didn't speak English, as we were told our server would, so I had to translate for my friend. Once we got the menus, I had to request one in English for my friend. All the food items looked lovely and we quickly knew what to order, but the server was nowhere to be found. Once he arrived, we had to request a cocktail menu, since none had been provided for us. We order drinks and I saw them be made quickly, since we were seated in front of the bar. But then they sat there for a long time, as once again, our server was nowhere to be seen. 20 minutes went by before he finally showed up again, and brought our drinks. Our food arrived, it was good, and we ate happily. No dessert was offered so we had to ask for the dessert menu. I was hoping this would signal that I wanted the dessert with the candle I had requested on my reservation and follow up email, but when the desserts arrived, none of them had a candle. I was clearly upset, so we asked for the check, paid quickly, and left. I was utterly disappointed in the service at this place. It truly overshadowed everything else, the food, the cocktails (both good). I had such high hopes for this place and was and big disappointment. read more

Really good service, delicious Mexican food. Best of all the tequila selection is fabulous. I've been here several times in my visits to Guadalajara - part of what I do for business is explore new & promising tequila brands. I can tell you that you'll discover great tequilas to both satisfy and expand your pallet. Go here. read more

I had the Oaxacan mole with chicken. I also has a margarita. Overall the food was a solid 4. The wait staff was pleasant and prompt. The Atmosphere is nice, with some interesting decor. We also got some nice free samples. I especially liked the salsa mixed custom for us right at the table. Not quite 5-star food, but an overall enjoyable experience. We'll probably be back before we leave town. read more

Good food, good service, good tequila list, good ambience AND a nice wine selection for the non tequila enthusiast in your group. I had a yummy grilled salad (al carbon), the sipping tequila recommended by the water was actually perfect for sipping (Tesoro de Don Filipe), our appetizer tacos were delicious and my dinner companion's mole was really rico as well. My companions choose a mezcal and mandarin orange sorbet with gusano (crushed mezcal worm) for desert. I'm not a fan or mezcal or guzano BUT it was true to taste - it did indeed taste like what it said it was and the mandarin complimented the mezcal. This desert is definitely for the mezcal lover and is an acquired taste or for the brave. Luckily we had reposado and lime digestif popsicles to save the day. This is definitely the place to go if you want to explore tequilas with educated staff and delicious food pairings. read more

La Tequila - Mexican Near Me - Guadalajara, JAL

We went here for our graduation because this place has good food and great service. The atmosphere of the place is awesome, the decor is beautiful and this place is so fun to be at. The food here is really good but what I like about la tequila is the consistency. Every time we went, the food and drinks were consistently good. I really like that. This place is a definite must in Providencia. read more

Four of us went to La Tequila on a strong recommendation from our hotel owner. We expected some high quality over the top dishes but most of us were very disappointed with our orders. We started out with chips and salsa. The salsa was made front of us with what looked like fire roasted tomatoes, onions and some type of very spicy chile peppers and/or hot sauce that was very delicious, however, it was a bit too spicy for half of our party so a milder salsa was made for us which we appreciated. All of us liked their house made chips. After that came a basket of sesame breadsticks with sweet rolls. After asking about the breadsticks, they gave us a takeout box full of them. The house offered us shooters of shrimp soup that was liked by everyone. My Caesar Salad was good but overdressed and the fideo pasta was way overcooked being almost pasty. One had their special chile relleno which he forced to consume half of out of politeness. I had a beef chile relleno that was not flavorful stuffed with tough beef. An another had some sort of beef that was flavorful but tough. One person had a fish dish, although he ate it all, did not offer any comment. After seeing that a chile relleno was only half eaten, the manager came over to offer my friend some other dish but he declined. Shooters of house made tequila ice cream was brought to us on the house. It was very good. Although all the free items were delicious and the service was great, we will not be returning to this establishment nor recommend them to others. read more

Had an excellent dinner. The tenderloin with mole sauce was great. Excellent place for business dinner.

Unique menu and ok service. We were a group of 8 with a reservation and were seated right away. The server seemed a bit disappointed that we didn't order alcohol right from the jump and handed us off to another server who was younger and less experienced- or maybe it was the way they do service( it was fairly confusing).We did order a few tasting flights of tequila and mezcal, which was interesting. They were curated from light and young to richer and older. The server was very knowledgeable about which tequila to pair with each dish- but couldn't help wondering if there was a sales agenda for mainstream brands over crafts. Either way, we enjoyed the tacos with ground-up grasshoppers. read more

This restaurant weather you are a business traveler, tourist, or local, is an amazing restaurant. Very authentic Mexican food. I had the best escamoles y chapulines I've had in all of Mexico! Their service is on point and friendly staff. If I had to rate the hostess, she would get a negative star! She made me wait for 8 minutes to seat me because she was on the phone taking phone reservations when she could have had someone else seat me. The tequila choices are endless and the mezcal is smooth! read more

Wow, never seen so many tequilas. This is truly real mexican. Outstanding original mexican i guess

Got food poisoning from the salmon sashimi. My son also got sick from the cooked salmon.

Wow. An incredible food experience!!!! If you enjoy Mexican food and want great service, this is the place to go. Dishes are unique and oh so good!!! Run don't walk here. read more

We have no photos. From the making of a salsa at the table to the chips, bread and entrees - everything was delicious and well presented. Great service and great food. We will be back tomorrow evening. read more

Nice dinner spot for unique Mexican food and a large selection of tequilas. They also grow their own herbs and chilies on site, which is a nice touch! read more

didn't get the right order twice and had to take the food to go after 2 hours

Looking for a nice romantic place for my girlfriend and I to enjoy chapulines we stumbled upon La Tequila! Boy did we hit the Jack Pot. The service was beyond amazing bringing us hand made salsa right our table to our desired spice level. Letting us sample different soups. The chapulines were not to our liking a bit to salty, but that did not matter as it was a small entree I would recommend 1 order then trying it. We also ordered the salmon and ribeye with some beers and it was a amazingly well done juicy and elegant. The waiters spoke good English and we will be going back once more before we depart :) definitely a must visit. read more

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!!! We were in Guadalajara for four days and visited La Tequila Cocina twice. It left a great first impression and wanted to leave our trip with a last visit to the savory food and drinks that this restaurant has to offer. The service was great. Our waiter Mario was very attentive, open to answering our questions and his recommendations were just right. Fresh salsa was made in front of us. A must try would be the grasshoppers quesadilla and elote flan. Nice ambiance. Everyone overall is very friendly. Would definitely come back again when we are in town. read more

If you are coming here for tequila, they certainly have an impressive display. Whether or not each one of the bottles on display is available, it did not appear that way. The restaurant itself looks very cool, and seems to fit a reasonable amount of patrons. There's even an indoor grow for habanero peppers on display. We ordered the Roasted Beet Salad to start, along with an entree of Arrachera and the Beef Tenderloin Filet. The Beet salad was not presented very well and included a bed of greek yogurt type dressing, the roasted beets, covered by an overwhelming amount of arugula. The flavor of the beets were good, but the overall balance and flavor of the salad was no bueno. Moving onto the Arrachera, it was prepared well, and the group enjoyed it. The Beef Tenderloin Filet was described on the menu as bacon-wrapped, and salt crusted. It was poorly executed on presentation, preparation, and worst of all, the flavor was so over-salted that we were not able to consume it. It was essentially steamed in a salt crust, which did not allow the bacon or the beef to crisp up. It appeared boiled somewhat. I do not recommend that dish. We also ordered the Tequila Crepes dessert. Unfortunately, the crepes were just strips of dough that were fried (like wontons in Chinese chicken salad). There was not even a little bit of a tequila essence in the dish. Overall, the experience here was not horrible, but it was not something that I would recommend to a visitor from out of town. The service (even when it was not busy) was extremely slow between every step of the meal. It ended up being a 3.5 hour ordeal because we had to remind them that we were ready to order drinks, we were ready to order entrees, we were ready to order dessert, and finally, after 3 requests, we were ready to receive the check. read more

Very nice upscale restaurent. The first floor was all booked which i hear has a extensive menu and nicer. We sat upstairs which was also nice, kind of open balcony type of set up. The menu was limited. I was in town for couple of days for Pack expo and found the place thru yelp. Started with a margarita with a kick, one of my best margaritas. This is coming from a guy who lives in SoCal. Ordered the tuna tartar and the los tres quesos ie cheese plate as appetizers, both were good. My main dish was a white fish with mashed potatoes. Kind of fusion, liked it very much. My colleague ordered a molcajetes with steak, which I tasted a bit. Very tender meat and good dish, my first time. Ended dinner with a nice Fortaleza tequila.. very smooth. Highly recommend the place, background had Pink Floyd playing...interesting ambience in middle of Guadalajara. read more

Nice ambiance as this restaurant provides a more personal touch. The items are traditional and of good quality. Price is average to above average for the area. I enjoyed my dinner and the casual pace. Beer selection a little sparse, offer many hard to find tequilas. read more

Amazing list of tequilas! And a fantastic, large, unique menu. Don't miss this place! It's REAL Mexican with regional flavors from the MANY cuisines of México! Try the Lechón (suckling pig), the mole negro (served with tortillas made from plantain!), or the Norteño (chile poblano stuffed with Gouda and arrachera steak). read more

Very nice experience. I came on a slow night. The grasshopper quesadilla was about of a disappointment but the shaved tuna app made up for it. I had the poblano pepper stuffed with skirt steak and cheese and it was tasty. Nothing complicated here but good quality. The jalapeño margaritas could have used a little more bite but they were solid. read more

Traditional menu of Mexican cuisine. Good service. Good value. Enormous selection of Tequilas. Decor is cool.

The service was attentive. The ambience was good, and the food was very tasty. It was a great way to start my stay in Guadalajara!

This may be my favorite restaurant, and I say this without exaggeration. Their food is unique and delicious. They will give you lots of food. You will get lots of bread that is so delicious, two different types. They make salsa right at your table, some of the best I've ever had. If you would like to try a sample of any food, they'll happily make it for you. Along with all the samples they bring out to you if very unique foods, such as crickets. After your meal they give everyone a tequila iced drink. Absolutely amazing. All that I have mentioned is completely free and comes with your meal. When it came to the service this aspect of our experience really stood out. Our waitress, Alley I think her name was, did everything she could to service us. She made us laugh and was highly educated on the menu. She told us everything we needed to know about what foods we should order. She was also one of the kindest people we have ever met. After our dinner she even took us on a tour of the beautiful restaurant. She had only worked there for 2 weeks but knew every last thing about La Tequila. She even let us tour the kitchen! Which was very clean and a happy environment. Not to mention they grow lots of their food in a greenhouse you can see through the restaurant windows. If you have kids, there is an indoor playground with windows so parents can watch their kids. It was very clean and looked brand new. She said the owners were nice and personable which is shown through their attentive, positive staff. This restaurant is a price of art. Their food is out of this world tasty. We got the molcajete bowl. There are many options to choose from when it came to their molcajete bowls. They also are very generous with the amount of meat they give you. We also ordered the lamb which was cooked to perfection. The way they roast it is unique and adds to it's quality. The dessert was so amazing. We were so full after dinner, but because their food tasted so good we could only imagine how good dessert was. We were still blown away even by the dessert. I ordered the hot Carmel cake and nothing ever tasted this good. It was filled with hot caramel that hade a home-made taste ( I think it was made from scratch) and the chocolate cake went perfectly with it. It had ice cream on the side to go with the rich cake for a perfect bite. This restaurant seems too good to be true. It is definitely worth it even if the dishes were 1000s of dollars. (they're actually not expansive at all, our dinner total was only $40 USD for two of us plus dessert and lots of drinks). I will recommend this restaurant to anyone in Guadalajara. It blew my mind and will make your whole night. read more
