Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Was looking for seafood but everywhere was a two hour wait, ended up hear and glad we did. Great food at reasonable prices. Very fresh! I can't remember what my dish was called but it was a chicken breast with caramelized onions and queso....delish!

We are here twice this week while in town. Delicious food, quick service and clean. My only complaint would be on the guacamole. It's not very fresh, almost like it comes from a bag. Otherwise worth the stop for lunch.

Party of 9 for lunch. Chips and salsa are OK. Friendly staff. Good food, not great. Good prices. No idea about drinks: only had water.

I hail from Texas. The home of tex mex food. This was the only place around the Gulf Shores area with decent reviews so I gave it a try. I'm glad I did! The food was comparable to what I get at home and extremely reasonable in price. I would come here over and over.

Had the chili rellenos (beef) that where very good. The batter was thin, they used shredded beef (nice) and they actually roasted them unlike Cactus Cantina down the road. My wife got the chicken chimichanga, the chicken was almost like a shredded style, and she said that it was light and flaky. My mother-in-law got the steak fajitas and said it was excellent. All in all, I would say the best in the area that I have tried lately.

We came here because I saw the reviews on yelp. I did not enjoy any of it. The salsa was very plain and my enchiladas were subpar. I wouldn't go back.

We decided to try this place because El Toro was super busy, and we were craving Mexican food.. We should have just waited at El Toro! I have never had any salsa as bad as I did here... Sorry - but it tasted like straight tomato paste. We ortdered some cheese dip, just to kind of replace that salsa, which turned out being ok. I ended up ordering chicken enchiladas, which were ok too, but I prefer shredded chicken - this was chunks of chicken-- which I guess is more of a preference thing. The service was just okay too.. nothing too special, but there is much better Mexican food in GS and OB, and its really hard to say I'll ever go back...

It was the worst Mexican food I have ever eaten. The queso was like watered down soup, the salsa had no flavor, the chips were stale. The cheese in the cheese enchilada was not even melted and the red sauce on top reminded us of Chef Boyardee sauce. Whoever gave this place good reviews must have been drunk or severely impaired. It. Is. Terrible.

Hole in the wall, casual atmosphere, but great food. We go back whenever we are in the area, usually more than once. If you want hot, try the hot tamale shrimp. I love hot food and they had me sweating. Poblanitos are also good.

We've been coming to Fort Morgan Beach for years but this was our first visit to Tequila. And I know it won't be our last! Being from New Orleans, the food capitol of the south, we are very picky about what we eat and drink and were very pleasantly surprised by this little spot. For starters, the salsa was freshly made, the chips were warm and not overly salty and the Queso was traditionally made with not a chunk of velveta in the mix. We inquired about the margarita's because we're also picky cocktail drinkers and can't stand bottled sour mixes. Our waiter told us that the rocks version was made with fresh juice while the frozen used sour mix (which was evident by their fluorescent green color!) So we ordered the rocks version which came in a giant bowl size glass and were happy with them. Fresh lime and orange juice made them very refreshing and with the size of the glass, one was definitely enough! We asked our server what his favorite dish was and what the most popular items were on the menu. His favorite was the spicy tamale shrimp, which two of us ordered and one ordered the popular enchiladas verde. On a whim one of my friends got the chile relleno which was a perfectly fried poblano pepper stuffed with the traditional queso blanco, a hit with the entire group, we would have ordered more if we didn't have all of the other food coming. But be warned, when they say spicy they mean it! I love hot peppers of any kind and this dish was right at my threshold of heat. Served with warm tortillas, a side salad with guacamole and refried beans it was a delicious, perfectly portioned meal. I tried the enchiladas verde and again very well done, but a little hard to determine as the spicy shrimp had my taste buds on fire! All in all a good experience from the service to the food and drinks. The decor was your typical inexpensive Mexican joint, so don't go if you are looking for something fancy. Inexpensive, fun and casual. Still thinking about those chile rellenos, we'll be back!!

When this place first opened, it was killer. Awesome food, great drinks and everything was quick and cheap. Some of the best Mexican food I have ever eaten. Period. Fast forward a few years and they purchase the adjacent store to expand, throw up some new paint, increase their prices, annnnnd...food quality and margaritas suddenly aren't half as good as they used to be. Probably still one of the better places to get a burrito in Gulf Shores, but I won't make a pit stop here on my next trip down.

We eat here all the time, usually with at least five people. The service is always good and attentive. The food is good. It's not fantastic, but I grew up in Southern California so I have a higher standard for Mexican food. It's good enough to bring California family when they visit. It actually brings back some memories of being a kid. Only downside is no menudo (the food not the group) Usually they can fit a larger (up to 10 or so) fairly easily. Like any tourist town, depending on time of year and time of week it can be crowded but what good restaurant isn't? I haven't had the margaritas there but they have ice cold Tecate and that's good enough for me. I recommend the fish tacos and the fajitas Tejanas.

We had a large group, but even though the restaurant was nearly empty, it to forever to be seated. The chips were very stale. I would skip this for another choice of Mexican food.

Fajita night is Monday night at Tequila's Mexican Restaurant. Beef or Chicken Fajitas are $6.50 and it is enough for two people! The food is great and the reason it is a four and not a five star is that their ceiling tends to have condensation and drips on their customers. Just look up before choosing your table!
(4)Tracey M.
I've eaten here twice now and I liked it. Was it the best? No, but it was good and I would go back. I didn't eat in, so I can't speak on the quality of service but I liked the food enough to recommend the place.

Great scenery, very very quick service, nice waiters, great food, and THE BEST CHEESE DIP I'VE HAD I'M MY LIFE !!! If you love cheese dip you MUST try there's ! The water is terrible and has a fishy taste though, so go for something else. Great place though. I loved it !

I was craving Mexican food while on vacation in Gulf Shores. I decided to give Tequila's a try. The reviews seemed okay to above average. Sometimes you just crave good ole typical Tex-Mex. The ambience was lacking. What little music that came through the speakers was muffled and cut in and out our entire visit. It eventually quit. We sat awkwardly talking quietly, listening to other customers do the same. The booths were bright and colorful, nothing fancy about the restaurant, but decent and clean. The restrooms, however, need some attention. Definitely need a scrubbing, some maintenance, and some bright lighting. I felt shady in el banjo! Chips were typical, nothing memorable about the salsa. The food was ok. Just ok. I ordered a large burrito with a mix of steak, chicken, and shrimp. I only received four tiny shrimp in my burrito. I know how hard shrimp are to come by in the Gulf. My wife ordered shrimp stuffed poblano's. They were actually pretty tasty. Still stingy on the shrimp though. Service was ok as well. The quiet ambience also made it awkward as the servers would walk by with more awkward smiles. We felt as though we were imposing upon them in some way. Probably won't return. Unless all others eateries are closed down, and maybe if they have a big sale on shrimp.

I visit Gulf Shores, where my dad has his winter home, during the holidays. In addition to time with him and family, it's a nice break from Minnesota's freezing winter weather for a few days. Take-out from Tequila became our go-to after thundershowers ruined plans for a backyard barbecue one of the days I was there. No biggee, it was still 60 degrees warmer than where I came from. We phoned in our order, and it was ready to go when we arrived to pick it up. Decor at the restaurant was nice - your typical Mexican cantina theme. A full bar in one of the rooms. TV and everything, if you want to hang out and catch a game. And the waitresses... I'm sorry... after 40 years in California, I still have a weakness for that long black hair and those deep brown eyes, my ex-wife notwithstanding. Anyway, moving on... The food was good. The ingredients fresh and of good quality, and the dishes well-prepared. The meal always loses just a bit during the drive home, and I suspect it would have been even better in the restaurant and on a plate, but still, no complaints 20 minutes later, and out of the styrofoam containers. We really enjoyed the meal. The simple classics are an important part of how I judge a restaurant, and the chips and salsa absolutely made the grade. I wouldn't hesitate to eat here again.

Wait was really long. Food was ok. Typical tex mex. but id stay away from the spicy burrito. Pitcher of margaritas was good (but strong) . Overall probably one of the safest bets in gulf shores.
(3)Darron H.
Very good Mexican food. We had traditional dishes, enchiladas, chalupas, Steven's special, and burritos. All were good and tasted authentic. The salsa is a bit run of the mill, but it was good. The service was great. The prices were in line with a tourist town. We would come back and I recommend it for a out of the way place that won't break the bank.

On Spring Break we found this place on Yelp! Place was awesome! Service was great; fajitas were amazing and the margarita was perfect! Prices were VERY reasonable!
(5)Robert B.
Great food and very, very fast service. The frozen margaritas were perfect. We will definitely be back.
