    Where's the chicken?!?!
    Rachel B.

    Waited in the parking lot for 15 minutes for a taco salad, when I finally got tired of waiting I called inside and was told they were bringing it right out. I wish I had opened the box right away because I would've had them come back and get the box of LETTUCE they took 15 minutes to prepare for me!!! Literally had maybe 2 tablespoons of chicken on this $6.67 "taco salad"! What a waste of time and money!!!!!!!!! Never again

    My fork is bigger than the half empty shell! More meat in a taco than this pathetic pile of lettuce and sauce!

    Had the cashier argue about a coupon. I had to just agree with her until I got to the window and physically showed her the coupon. Her reply, "oh I guess you proved me wrong". Tacos are mediocre.... nothing special. But the taco salads.... ummm.... I am still searching for any meat. More sour cream than meat.

    Christmas themed nachos. Delicious.

    Probably the best Taco chain in the Midwest. Great tacos and great prices keep me coming back. This location is very small but always clean and friendly.

    OLes with cheese. Large

    As usual. Yum! It took a while for them to get our…read morespecialty orders correct, but now they got it. Lol. Music was a tad loud, especially, in the restroom. Service is always good!

    Review Visit: December 22nd, 2015…read more Near perfection, in burrito form. Each town has a similar blueprint. Those staples include locally-owned: coffeehouses, ice cream shacks, a Chinese restaurant, and a Mexican restaurant. Almost every town has most of these, if not all of them. East Peoria isn't a large town, population-wise, but is sprawled out over a large area. This leads to it having quite a few of these staples and Tequila's is one of those staples. I've been here quite a few times, actually. The initial time was with my girlfriend, and then we came back for seconds a few months later, and then my sister wanted to come here for her birthday lunch. I will be mostly talking about the first visit but will include all visits in the overall narrative of the post. The buzz around Tequila's is that the food and flavor is fantastic. I heard the portions for the price were very generous and that you won't leave with an empty belly. This sounds like every other Mexican restaurant I've tried and I knew I would have to give this one a shot. It was a dreary and rainy day when we decided that we wanted to try something new without really having to drive far. Tequila's fit that one requirement perfectly. We arrived to warm smiles and friendly staff. As we sat there trying to decide what to order, we had our drinks and a huge heaping of chips and salsa placed in front of us. The chips and salsa may be my favorite and least favorite part of visiting Mexican restaurants. On one hand, chips and salsa are great. Then I hit the conflict point. Do I order queso blanco with it? I already know that I will regret how many chips I will eat. Adding in the queso blanco, I know I will go overboard with it. Melted cheese is so heavenly. After all these years, I still base what I order from these places based on the burrito I had from Pepper's in Port St. Joe in Florida. What I ordered at Pepper's was a giant burrito smothered in queso blanco. That is now my go-to meal and that is what I ordered at Tequila's. I don't recall specifically which burrito I've gotten here but looking at the online menu, it would be something like the Burrito Blanco. Again, with most Mexican restaurants, the food was out before the waiter had time to walk to the kitchen to submit your order. I still don't know how they make the food so quick but my hungry belly never complains. We had to give ourselves a moment to breathe as the chips and salsa had done a number on our appetite. Once we steeled ourselves for what was about to come, we dug in. It's not impossible to eat a big burrito that is smothered in cheese with your hands. In fact, that would be something worth watching someone else do. Or myself if I didn't have a beard. But no, this is the kind of food you have to eat with a fork. Which is probably for the best as you slowly start build to the point where you sigh and groan after every bite. But you can't stop yourself from eating since the food is so delicious. At least, that is my experience at Tequilas. My girlfriend was unable to finish her meal both times. She offered me her remaining food but I just looked at her bewildered. I am okay with waddling out to my car but she would've had to roll us home if I had another bite. Tequila's is really good food. Each time I've come here, I've regretted it about 30 minutes later when I question why my appetite thought it could put down all that food. But, it's an experience worth every bite... except that last one that pushed you over the edge. If you can't make it to Tequila's, check to see if there is a local one around you; it might just be the best belly-bursting place you've ever ate at.
