The food is always amazing and the drinks are always good. They're well worth the drive to Freeburg, IL. The service is fast and friendly. The prices are fair and affordable. Lots of live TV and music is always playing. My husband is a picky eater, but he can order just about anything off the menu. read more

Not one of our regular places, we stopped by when we were out for a ride mid-afternoon on a Saturday. We will definitely will be back. Can't rate all their food, but the staff was very friendly. Had a good Margarita and I will flat say the best Al Pastor and Carne Asada Street Tacos I've had in this area. Well seasoned, very juicy and generous serving. Definitely need to make sure they double the Tortillas (Just ask). For those that are wondering, I would call them Northern style like Juarez, Very Juicy, good amount of cilantro and onion and served with tomatillo Recommend trying the Habanero Avocado salsa. Not very spicy either. read more

Went here with a large group and the small place didn't have enough staff to service the 40 of us correctly so I need to go back to be honest about the service. The food was very good and deserving of a return trip. This is a little haul for being about 40 min away from home but for our first visit was worth it. read more

Service and food is always good. I don't understand why they can't split a Margarita pitcher among tickets at a table. Do they expect one person to drink an entire pitcher at the table. read more

Best tequilas in and around the area. Food is good and fresh. Service is always good. Setting is positive always have a good time there. I go to this one more than the one that it is in my town that is how good it is read more

Service was slow, food was bland it's what I call Midwest Mexican or white girl Mexican food, little to no spice. Salsa shouldn't need hot sauce added to it to have flavor. The restaurant itself was nice inside and large portions but I want some flavor and kick when I eat Mexican food. read more

TEQUILAS IN WATERLOO IL. Service is excellent, food is very reasonably priced, staff is friendly and dining room was very clean. The staff is taking extra measures to ensure your safety during this pandemic. Excellent choice for date night drinks and daytime eats. read more

I truly enjoyed this place. It was my first time visiting this cute little spot, but it came highly recommended....and I see why! The food was amazing and the service was even better. I'll be visiting again! read more

Love the food and margaritas! Service is always excellent and the addition of the outdoor seating is fantastic!

Food was good. Everything was hot. Chips were warm and delicious with salsa. Service was good and the restaurant is very clean.

Got the tacos, they say you can't screw up a taco, well that was proved wrong! Asked for no onion, they took it back and just scraped it off.. comes back, more cilantro than meat, and still onion! Just sent it back and had no interest in ordering again! If a Mexican restaurant can't get tacos right, what are the odds they can get the rest of the menu right! read more

We have 1 Mexican restaurant in town. Do not recommend especially for carry out orders. We have given them a few chances and every time our order has been incorrect. read more

My daughter's boyfriend is from Mexico. He says this is the best Mexican food in the Metro area. We go there often and always delicious and authentic. read more

I took the boys for dinner. One server was continually on her cell phone. The server brought chips & salsa right away. Then food came up for another table, the bits wanted water but the other server was setting in a booth texting. I said out loud Evan as soon as our server drops off the rest of the food you will get your water! read more

A decent place to get Mexican food. Definitely better than some of the other Tequila's restaurants in the area. Got the lunch special chimichanga and was very pleased. Lots of ground beef, delicious melted cheese, plus the usual fixings. Accompanying beans were ok. Appreciated the free chips, but didn't think much of the salsa -- perhaps a little light on cilantro. Our waitress was very attentive. All in all, a good experience here. read more

Food was okay, pretty much typical fried food covered in cheese to mask the lack of taste. But the waitress dumped a whole tray of salsa and strawberry jarritos (strawberry soda) on my girlfriend. Granted it was a mistake and we tried to be gracious and not punish the waitress more than we had to as it was an accident. But instead of our meal being comped or a free fried ice cream, she has the nerve to give us three dollars off of our check. Three Dollars?!?!?! That is not how you keep customers. We will not be going back, be careful. read more

Best Mexican food around bar none great service great food great service hard to find a better place then this prices are good also

Best Mexican food in the area. Great margaritas. Friendly staff. Juan is the absolute best server. Always clean

Neat little Mexican restaurant in Freeburg. Visiting family for the weekend and stopped by, great food and fun atmosphere! 10/10 we came early so there wasn't a wait. We all ordered margaritas and they were delicious! I love the SHRIMP enchiladas! They were packed when we left, the service was outstanding and our server was attentive. I would definatly recommend this place. read more

We drive to this location from Shiloh because their food is always top-notch. We recommend this location to friends. I will have to make this a qualified recommendation tonight because we ordered a taco salad and a three-taco plate and both were served with CABBAGE instead of lettuce. The restaurant was very crowded tonight and we had a new server who was late taking our order (didn't realize we were there). When we got about halfway finished with our entrees, we thought the lettuce looked a little WHITE and had an odd consistency. It was cabbage. We flagged down one of the more experienced servers and she told us they had been serving cabbage ALL DAY. Ouch. I hope they clear this up. I think I would have gone down the street to Tom's Market and bought some emergency lettuce, eh? They comped us one entree and my Bud Light. Their guacamole and their chips are excellent. We will eat here again next week but we will be on the lookout for cabbage. If I wanted cabbage I would so someplace that serves coleslaw. Oh, towards the end of the meal, the server asked me if I had ever eaten at Joe's Crab Shack because I tucked my napkin into my sweatshirt collar. She went on to explain how they give you a bib if you order lobster. I think she was trying to establish some rapport with us. This was the wrong way to do it. We did leave her a gratuity. read more

If you have been to one Tequila's you have been to them all. Cheap tequila in the margarita's, too much ice and the food all taste the same.

Just left after waiting more than 10 min for drinks. Sat outside so wasn't very crowed. Watched 2 waiters check on every table, including 2 that arrived after us, then walk away without taking our order. read more

We love coming to Freeburg to visit our favorite Mexican restaurant in the east metro area. The food is ardor, the prices are more than reasonable, and the staff is outstanding! It's totally worth the 20-30 minute drive.... Oh and my wife says they have the best beans anywhere! read more

I always get the taco's when I visit Tequila's. I tried their habanero salsa on a whim one late night. Sweet baby Jesus, that salsa means business. Great flavor but have 2 to 3 of their ice cold beers on standby to extinguish the flames. read more

This is NOT exactly the same menu fixed for you from the other ST. Louis or Columbia or even Waterloo locations... It isn't prepared the same way. The burritos for example are prepared much differently. Anyway its pretty much the same decor (except Waterloo IL which is horrible). A fun place to be (we have been coming here weekly for years). All the staff is great. Ask for Ashley on Thursdays and be prepared to be stunned in her service AND her.... uh... shall we say stunning appearance. The wine is superb at $4.50 a glass... not the 5 or even 8 dollars in St. Louis. Marguerita pitchers on Thursday nights are well attended so get there by 5pm. Patio seating is large and needs more green plants to make it appealing. Freeburg is so lucky to have a fun place like this with patio dining. Entertainment sometimes inside or out. read more

Friendly staff. I love the chips and salsa. Margaritas are very smooth. Service is quick. Food was delicious. Pleasantly surprised!

I enjoy eating at Tequilas the food is great. I love the chorizo dip! The service is quick and food is great

i really enjoy coming here to tequila's when i want the best Mexican food around... their chips are the best, they are like thin and light...never stale and and the salsa is so yummy! the atmosphere is nice inside, it is fairly quiet unless they have a band playing... last time i was there they had a real mariachi band there and it was AWESOME!!!! The cost of food is very cheap, especially for the amount of food you get. the service is awesome and they always make sure my drink is full or chips and salsa don't run out its overall Mexican food at its finest, and i would recommend you pull up a chair or get a booth and enjoy!!!! read more

I had low expectations for this place, but I ended up delightfully surprised. I just ordered a chicken and cheese quesqdikla which was priced crazy cheap, so I was expected just a basic tortilla with cheese and chicken. Nope! It was loaded with who-knows-what and tasted like heaven. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. Will gladly go back. read more

Went back again this weekend..... I had this southwest wrap. Man. It is worth the drive. The most amazing Salsa ever. My husband is from So. California and we are both make pretty good hispanic food being previously married to South Americans. I already know what I am going to be craving. I talked to management even about bottling that salsa. When I tried to eat the salsa I had a home from another local spot, I just couldn't do it! You gotta get out here. Plus the manager said in the summer they are having live bands of all kinds. Such a blast! read more

Best Mexican food in the area! Food is full of flavor, salsa is just spicy enough, and the margaritas are strong!

I really love coming to eat here, I frequent this place at least 3-4 times a month. I always get the chicken chimichanga with rice and beans. The portion is huge for the price you pay and it is seriously delicious. I love their chips and salsa as well. The only negative thing I can say about this place is that it is crowded a lot in the evenings and the seating is less than ample, it is somewhat small. The owner is very nice and the service is usually excellent! read more

This is probably my favorite Mexican restaurant. The staff is really amazing they take good care of you. The salsa is not too hot and the cheese sauce blends in well. The food overall is definitely not over looked they make sure to put out good quality food every time. read more

Terrible service. Got in an argument with the manager Manny who refused to provide additional chips to my wife on our to-go order. My wife and I ordered 2 entrees and a side of cheese dip, which we were granted 1 bag of chips. You normally get 1 bag of chips to go along with the salsa provided with all orders, so we asked for an additional bag to go with our cheese dip. The manager refused to provide anymore chips without charging us more money. These are the same chips they provide in an all you can eat fashion while dining in. The manager lied to us on multiple accounts and wouldn't provide us with a higher up person or owner to discuss our disappointment and treated us very poorly on a follow up phone call. This is a restaurant that we have been to dozens of times in the past but won't be anymore. They're essentially lost a repeat customer over a 99 cent bag of chips. They need to understand there are repercussions for bad customer service. Word of mouth is powerful. read more

We used to go to Tequila's all the time. This place doesn't disappoint. The food is always good. The service is sometimes questionable.

Service was great, I ordered the carnitas plate (roasted pork). it was ok, but it would have tasted better if it would've been made that day. I could tell that it was reheated maybe nuked, other than that the portions were big and the rice and beans were good. read more

Came in with a party of 5 plus a baby. Waited 20 minutes, while every single group that came in after us got seated, including a party of 7. When we asked why a larger party that came in after us was seated first we were told that the table wouldn't have accommodated us. We left. read more

Tequila's has A-MA-ZING food! Their chicken is juicy and filled with flavor and the cheese is out of this world. Their prices are also very reasonable. If you're looking for a fun, delicious night out that won't break the bank, this is your place! read more

The food we purchased was very good, however, we were grossly overcharged. We placed an order over the phone. Not having a menu handy to know the prices, we just took them at their word. Today, when checking the menu prices on line, I discovered we were charged about $10 more than we should have been charged. This is very disappointing! read more
