    Do not get cheese enchiladas. The come as empty tortilla shells. Mediocre at best food. The people who own it are real nice folks.

    Very friendly people and the food is very delicious. I always enjoy eating here. The restaurant has…read morea comfortable atmosphere and welcoming.

    This was our first and last time trying Tequila Grill. There…read morewas five of us and we all agreed that it was the worst Mexican food we had ever had. Horrible!!!! We should have known better when there was nobody else in there. The ambience was undesirable. It was a strange setup and the music was so loud that we couldn't even talk to each other. The benches were ripped and barren in areas and the table was crusty. The water cups looked like they should have been thrown out years ago and were all scuffed up on the rims. The waitress gave the impression that she didn't want to be there and we didn't see her smile once. We all ordered water to start with and she carried at least one of the waters under her arm with her arm holding it under her armpit next to her body. The chips were so stale that they bent. The salsa ( if that's what they want to call it) was basically slightly thickened tomato juice. Eventually everyone had gotten their food after waiting about 5 minutes in between each person. For starters nobody had hot food and it was all very lukewarm to almost cold. The pico de gallo lettuce mix that everyone gets on their plate was old and had a raunchy taste to it so nobody ate theirs. My dinner was supposed to be deep fried and wasn't. It had ground beef in it but also contained chunks of grisly and fatty type textures. The only thing everyone agreed on is that the beans had a very slight flavor. We all ordered different things and we decided that water has more flavor than any of the "food". We choked down a few bites and took the majority in to go boxes for a friend to give to his garbage eater outside animals! To top it off we all had queasy stomachs through the next day. It was either the food or the gross out factor of everything! I'm guessing that their steep prices are due to lack of business so they need to make up for it. I saw other reviews on here going back a few years even with similar issues so one would think that the owners would change for the better. I'm sure that the only good reviews came from friends, family and locals who won't tell the truth. I can't express enough how absolutely disgusting this place was! Drive over to Casey's and get a pizza instead!

    Went here for a team building work lunch. This was my first time dining here and I really liked…read morethe decor and overall ambiance, but it was really busy and fairly loud inside. There were 8 people in our group and they ended up seating us outside which wasn't a problem as it was warm and sunny. Once seated our server took our drink order quickly and followed up shortly with taking an order for appetizers. Which also came out fairly quickly. Our server then took our entree orders. He returned three or four times to replenish/refill drinks for the females in our group but ignored me and the other male in our group, until we asked for a refill. Our entree's took about 20 - 25 minutes to come out and there were several minutes between the first and last to make it to the table. In the business district of the town where most of their lunchtime weekday customers are workers on lunch break they need to be getting the food out the kitchen quicker. As for the food presentation was nice. Everyone's dishes looked really fresh and appetizing. Two of our team had the shrimp taco's and they was so much moisture in them they ended up eating them with a knife and fork. Another two on our team had the Quesabirria. They said it tasted good but had more cheese than Burria. As for my own dish, I had the poblanos with steak, which is three enchiladas covered in a poblano sauce with a side of rice. The portion was a reasonable size but the steak was chewy and while it wasn't bad the poblano sauce just didn't impress me. It was just plain in flavor, with not much poblano flavor. Like I mentioned earlier we were seated outside. I was about two thirds the way through my meal and found a small black hair in the sauce. Where we were sat was pretty breezy so I cannot say if the hair came with my meal or if it was blown onto my food, but it was not the best end to what I would call a lackluster meal.

In one of my experiences with this restaurant my mom got birrai tacos with a vein still in the beef. I have gotten undercooked chicken almost every other time I come here. And last but most definitely not least the atmosphere. The whole place is filthy and the bathroom has pee stains on the toilet and floor. If you want good authentic Mexican food DONT COME HERE. There are many great Mexican restaurants near.

Our wives ordered pork tamales ala carte and I ordered a beef taco, and 2 beef enchiladas with queso. At the last moment, I ordered 2 birria tacos with spicy salsa and my BIL ordered a steak burrito with no salsa. The tamales ( although pork) came with a ground beef sauce which they said was excellent. The burrito was ok, but he said it definitely needed the salsa and then it would've been perfect. The ground beef taco and enchiladas were spot on, but the birria tacos were . Some of the best I've ever had. The spicy salsa is not for the faint of heart as it has a kick, but delicious. If you're in the area and hungry for Mexican food, you will not go away hungry.
