Overall, our experience was good. There were a few hiccups, which we’re not too bad, although the weirdest one was when our waitress charged our card to a different table. She informed us and told us she voided it, but that the transaction went through. It should take a few days to be returned. That doesn’t happen too often, so it was a bit odd.

My favorite place to go for margaritas on Thursdays! The food is consistently good and so is the service. My favorite is the Latin fried rice!

Had lunch at El Tequila Mexican Grill. My wife and I shared the steak fajitas and they were fantastic. The free chips and salsa was a nice touch and the habeñero hot sauce was so good I wanted to buy a bottle. Great flavors and huge portions. The service was fast and friendly and I felt extremely welcomed. Good happy hour and daily deals. My only complaint was the margaritas were a little sweet and came from a machine, but they were still strong. Excited to go back and try more of their menu.

Grossly overpriced, they force you to buy much more condiments than you want. Ice tea plain 3.35, refried beans 1 cup 5 dollars. 35 dollars for 3 enchiladas and rice and beans and a 3.35 ice tea.

The food was good. Probably the best hard shell tacos I have even eaten. The wait was most painfully long however. I am reserving judgment on the wait as almost every business is under staffed right now. They also charged me for a second refill on a coke. At 2.99 each , that’s a bit much…… Will I go again? Probably.

For the record…. This is my first time doing a google review EVER! service here was horrible! Waited at the bar for over 20 min to for a drink i had to literally get up to go find someone to serve me… mind you there is only like 5 customers in here and 10 employees. Ordered my drink and food. Waited another 20 min and my food is cold. This will be my last time coming here

Really slow service for it not being busy at all. Took about 15 minutes for calamari and 30-40 minutes to get both of our sandwiches. So I was full from the chips and salsa by the time the calamari came out. Calamari batter is on the thicker side. The salsas are delicious. Had a bite of The torta Cuban and it is delicious. Same with The fajita burger! Great portions for the price. Overall I would probably just do take out instead of dining in.
