    Amazing place for a date, everyday dining or even a special occasion. Best Mexican food in the entire city and it’s not even close.

    Hadn't been to Tequila's in a long time. Our server was fantastic. He must have heard my wife and I talking, he came over to the table with exactly what we wanted when we wanted it. My steak was really poor quality, but everything else was really good. We booked via OpenTable and listed the occasion as Birthday, but got no acknowledgement of that, which was disappointing. Overall, it was a good meal and good experience, just missed on a few small items.

    Stay away. Hard to say what was worse, the service or the food. Two of the three dishes at the table dry and somewhat tasteless- must be a fast food type assembly line operation. Server forgot to tell us there were specials, failed to bring a drink order, acted surprised when we complained about it after 20 or 25 minutes then tried to cover by saying it must be ready- but by then we were done and ready to leave. No apology. Also way too loud. Stay away.
