We have been wanting to go since they opened but times being what they are we did not venture out. Finally this weekend we went and we were so happy we did. The food was amazing. Johnny was our server( he also part owner but gave staff some time off so he was filling in.) He could not have been nicer. I had enchiladas supreme and my husband the tacos del mar. We are both super happy. They were social distancing and all had masks. All rules were being followed. We felt very safe. We are not big tequila drinkers but their selection looked pretty impressive Will definitely go again. read more

A hidden gem, I really enjoyed the food at this restaurant. Everyday has a different special which is pretty awesome. I went on a Thursday at 6:30 and it was happy hour all day. The service was great, food came out quickly, the waitress checked on us multiple times throughout our meal. The prices were reasonable, can't wait to go back. read more

Kept hearing about this place so finally decided to check it out! I contacted them on Instagram and easily made a reservation. They answered promptly and it was no issue at all! I literally got a margarita and then some appetizers, the quesadilla and then the guac, bean, queso trio. All were so delicious, came out hot, on time! Service was great! Everything came out super fast, super attentive and never once did I feel like I was being rushed! Great spot to start out the night, prices were very reasonable! I can't wait to come back! Oh also they play great music! read more

This spot is located in a popping area with a lot of other restaurants, but there's a multitude of reasons you'll want to return: - Good, strong margaritas at a reasonable price - Johnny on the spot service - salsa for every person at the table, no sharing! - and the FAJITA NACHOS! Fajita nachos were definitely a highlight of the meal for me, like fajitas but in nacho form. How can you go wrong? I will definitely return and try some of the other stuff, like their taco salad! They have some reasonably priced lunch specials too that I plan on looking into! read more

Excellent food! Fast service and friendly staff. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

New restaurant in an excellent location on Freret. They seem to have figured-out social distancing. What a cool way to adapt to safe social distancing for Fall of 2020. Now that Fall temperatures have arrived, I'm looking forward to checking this place out! read more

Excellent food at very reasonable prices. Mexican food that is tasty and well priced. Lived in Houston for years and this place would do well among the Mexican restaurants there. Had the Tuesday special Street Tacos. I had five different ones (Carnitas, Pastor, Steak, Chicken and Barbacoa). All we're delicious but the the Barbacoa was exceptionally good. This special was $8 and quite a bargain. We also had an order of Fish Tacos that were also quite good. Will definitely go back. read more

This is honestly a great, chill spot. Food is delicious, they have plenty of options, and the staff is always very friendly. We usually order take out, and it usually does take about 30/45 minutes, but it's so worth it. My personal favorite is the black and gold burrito:) read more

Margs weren't great for a place literally named after the liquor that goes in them, but the food was pretty authentic. Could've used more salsa and better service. The server obviously didn't want us there. Really great eats though! Loved my meal. read more

Taco Tuesday is an awesome deal! Also their margarita deals are amazing! The house margarita is Cazadores which is perfect for me. Definitely could be a college vibe scene but, enjoy the hospitality and good deals. read more

Stopped by yesterday after a bit of a hiatus, and I'm even more impressed. After a long day, I really hate driving from Metairie but Mr. Tequila is so totally worth it. Johnny is still orchestrating as he has since in the beginning. As soon as we walked in he greeted us and immediately sat us. He remembered that we liked to sit outside so that's where we were seated. I immediately noticed that the patio is completely covered now, and it looks so nice out there! I love it! We got the Taco Tuesday special (5 for $7.50) and queso. I love that their queso is just more than than thinned out cheese, and it didn't immediately start solidifying as soon as the waitress sat it down. I didn't catch her name, but our waitress was ON IT! Didn't have to write anything down, and her service was spectacular. The flow is our experience was just awesome. Thanks you guys, we will start making the drive on Tuesdays again, we sure have missed y'all!! read more

Great food and specials. Staff is super friendly and patient. Outside (kind of covered with shades) patio, inside seating, and bar. The taco special on Tuesdays is terrific - 5 tacos for $5. These are street tacos. You get to choose from 8 different types of meat on the tacos. It's freret street, so the street parking can be very frustrating. read more

Delicious food, impeccable service. Will definitely be back AND recommend to anyone who will listen, and probably to many who won't listen.

This is an easy walk from the colleges. The prices are reasonable. The service is fast and food comes out quick. Service is also friendly. Music isn't too loud. No atrocious "bar" smells even though it does seem like their focal point is the bar as it takes a large portion of the dining area. Also hence the name. It's the only Mexican restaurant around that has the closest dish that I typically get which is tasty and reasonably portioned. The refried beans were something extra I ordered with my dish and they gave me a small plate instead of a small bowl which is good. read more

The margaritas are excellent. Menu is great! When I am in the mood for Mexican food, this is my go to spot.

This little gem is always my Tuesday spot. I love street tacos and theirs are the best.

Came here on a Monday at 1130. Place was empty. The waiter was on point with the drinks. Three top shelf margaritas. They were very well made. We also had some queso and went through three bags of warm and crispy chips with the free salsa. Don't recall what we all ordered but everyone cleaned their plates, so it was definitely good. Thank you Mr. Tequila read more

For all my vegan brothers and sisters...while the drinks and atmosphere are delectable, Mr Tequila is not set up to accommodate our kind. It's a shame too. I love the atmosphere and I love love love the Margaritas. I'd be here at least once a week if there were more vegan options. Unfortunately, I can only come for a pre or post meal cocktail. read more

I have been waiting for Mr. Tequila to open up all summer and it was definitely worth the wait! Mr. Tequila fills a unique niche in the NOLA Mexican food scene that I have been sorely missing. It is a fun, casual, and affordable restaurant. They have daily specials and happy hour. I went on Thursday for all day happy hour and $4 margaritas. The margaritas were very good and packed a punch. They have free chips and salsa, which not many places do in NOLA, and I also ordered the queso which was a silky white bowl of cheesy goodness. I shared the chicken fajitas with a friend and is was plenty for 2 people. My other friend got an enormous burrito that could have easily fed 2 people as well. Mr. Tequila is a great new addition to the Freret neighborhood! The restaurant was quite busy when I went and it was loud. The staff were quite friendly and I will definitely be returning soon! read more

Popped in to this place on a whim. A good decision was made. The outdoor little patio is nice and made you feel like you were in little movie or something idk. The margaritas were decently priced for the quantity and were good. Ordered the fajita nachos and they were quite good. Definitely would visit again and prices are super affordable for the quality and quantity of food you get. read more

This place is truly special. Probably some of the best mexican food I've had, including in mexico. 11/10 rice, I had to order an extra side even though i've been stuffing my face with gumbo and jambalaya for the past 2 days. Ordered the enchiladas suizas. Incredible food from the first bite. Didn't go wrong on a single square inch of the plate. Eat here for sure. read more

Best food (queso and all), best drinks, best service. In specific Leo was amazing and gave us the best treatment during our dinner. If you are in New Orleans and on freret street come to Mr. Tequila!! read more

I genuinely love mr. Tequila but our server made us never want to come back. Carmen you've ruined taco Tuesday for all of us read more

Hidden gem. Really appreciate that they offer an "a la carta" menu for smaller orders of tacos, enchiladas and tamales at reasonable prices. Skinny margaritas are delish and they keep the chips and salsa coming. We'll definitely be back! read more

Only been here once ... so far. Great addition to freret! Food and service were great. The ceviche outstanding. The fajitas are definitely a shareable portion. They make their own chips and salsa which hit it out of the park. By the way, I'm not Mexican but should have been. My absolute favorite food group and this place is now on the list!! read more

I got takeout from here for the first time a week or two ago. It was really reasonably priced in my opinion. The food wasn't super hot by the time I got home to eat but it was still good. Next time I'll eat at the restaurant to have it at its freshest :) read more

Great casual place for happy hour drinks and food! I came with a friend on a Thursday night, which is all day happy hour ($4 margaritas!!) We were seated quickly despite it being very busy inside. We ordered margaritas on the rocks, and they were very refreshing and tasty. They also provide free chips and salsa! The chips were fresh and hot, and the salsa was great as well. We also ordered the Queso, which was deliciously cheesy and melty. I ordered the Burrito Supreme with steak. I've had better burritos in NOLA, but it was very hearty and full of meat and rice. It was so big that I took half home and had it for lunch the next day. My friend ordered the Chicken Fajitas, which were also a large portion size, and came with tortillas, rice, refried beans, lettuce, guac, and sour cream on the side. The service was also very friendly and efficient. Mr. Tequila offers different drink and happy hour specials depending on the weekday, so I'm definitely looking forward to returning for happy hour soon! read more

My first time here yesterday with some people from work. And it is not my last! The chips and salsa to begin, so yummy. The sauce on the enchiladas was amazing. The red sauce with shredded chicken and the queso were my favorite. The green sauce with ground beef was okay, nothing special about it. The flan was super flavorful, I usually don't eat flan but this one was good! I was so full so couldn't try the other desserts but everyone couldnt stop talking about how amazing the churros were. I had a passion fruit margarita as well and that did not disappoint! Can't wait to come back. read more

Used to live down the street and would frequent a lot, especially for taco Tuesday's. Now, I'm from San Diego, and have family all over Mexico that I visit every year. That being said, I think we can all agree that New Orleans doesn't exactly have the most thriving taco scene in the country. And no, Mr. T's doesn't have the best tacos in the city, but they're certainly good enough for me. I like coming here because the atmosphere is always vibrant, great for groups, the staff is super friendly, and the chips and salsa is pretty damn good IMO. And honestly, how can you go wrong with $1 tacos?? Also, don't sleep on the margaritas, they've got some good variety in flavors and tequila options. Not my #1 choice for taco tuesdays but it's close, cheap and always a good time! read more

Mr. Tequila is awesome. I particularly love their Chile rellenoś and the enchilada plate!! Big portions and they have really good queso. If it's busy you might wait a bit for food, but waiting for quality is worth it! They have a great happy hour too. Go any day but Tuesday because they are swamped with college kids. read more

Chicken, barbacoa, and carnitas tacos all tasty. Great service and a laid back atmosphere.

The Mexican food in this town is definitely lacking, with this spot at the lower end of the spectrum. The salsa is a blend of store bought Picante, ketchup and water. Nothing fresh unfortunately. read more

We stopped here while in town on vacation and were happy to find the food was incredible. Three of us got the mushroom fajitas and they were some of the best fajitas I've had-- caramelized veggies with a few charred spots, just perfect. We all enjoyed the salsa and ordered queso as well. The drinks were tasty but could've been a touch stronger. Overall would gladly come back and this place would be a regular spot for me if I was a local. read more

I go there every week after my soccer game down the street. These guys are great. They play soccer games on TV. Incredible taco deals on Tuesday. And drink specials every night. Cool courtyard, if your worried about indoor dining. Get your margs on the rocks! read more

Awesome street tacos! I'm from Southern California so I'm extremely picky about Mexican food, especially tacos. But they did not disappoint! I was super excited that they have barbacoa (shredded beef) so I got two of those and also two al pastor, both were fiiiiire. I never leave reviews but I want more people to know about this place. Skip all the hipster taco spots and go for the real thing! Also my margarita was perfect and our waiter was super nice. I didn't catch his name but he was our server for dinner on a Sunday night. This will definitely be my regular taco spot from now on!! read more
