    This place has hit the skids! Used to be so good. Now bland, low quality, and hurried. Service tonight was almost as bad as the food. I'm out.

    In the south there is a term "Fair to Middlin'". I suppose this pretty adequately sums up Tequila's. Once you get past the fact that the seats are very hard and the table and booths seem to be on ice, scooting around despite your best efforts to keep them in place (When I went to leave I almost took the booth out the door with me). Service was good, but the menu warns that each table gets TWO helpings of Chips. I'm not sure if they are sticklers for this or if its just on there to prevent you from having an "All You Can Eat Chip Buffet." The Fried Burritos would appear to be the signature dish, and I was not disappointed in them. They didn't particularly blow me away, but I found them to be satisfactory. If you are in the mood for a burrito, but really wish it was fried. This is your stop.

    This was my first time at this place, I was over at Costco and thought I'd see if this was a find for authentic inspired Mexican food.....and it was a BIG NO. Everything is straight up out of a darn Sysco bag/can. No inspiration or creativity at all! A pile of mass produced crap smothered in copious- barely melted amounts of cheese. I think they try to hide the bad food with cheese! Try Chuy's (where they actually make their tortillas, their poblanos are to die for, and they have 4-5 unique sauces to choose from! At least Chuy's has a little imagination How stupid do some of these restaurants think we Joe public are? I mean its pretty obvious what Tequilas serves is crap. And the waiters here are to consumed with hitting on young teen aged girls and trying to get a lay lined up for the night. Yeah I saw that today.I wont be back. It really sucked. Dont waste your money. I've had better back in my middle school cafeteria.

    The vegetarian plate was good, I stopped in late in the evening for dinner and was served quickly at the bar. Chips & Salsa with a cold Cerveza while watching soccer on TV, life is pretty darn good.

    This place is killer! The salsa is great! The service is excellent! One of my favorite Mexican places in Nashville! I have never had anything here I didn't like and there is a patio.

    This restaurant opened a few years ago. It's tucked into a corner of a shopping plaza, so I overlooked it at first. I finally went in after it had been open for a few months. The food was excellent then and has continued to be of the best quality every single time I go there. And because of it's location, I still often overlook it and every time I eat there, the food is great. I highly recommend you go there.

    Same sh!t. Different day. Margarita tasted like they melted salt water and poured it in the drink instead of tequila. The fajita's were actually decent. But nothing to go brag about. I was disappointed because based on reviews it seemed this place had some LEGIT mexican food. But yet again it was another Tex Mex place, that when I asked for a Chorizo Taco, he shook his head and said sorry, no we don't have that. Really? I will not return. I will say that the service was great and they were very attentive.

    There are very few "cheap" Mexican places I like these days. It used to be Las Palmas, but they've gone downhill. Nacho's in Bellevue is decent, and now there is Tequila's. The standout here is the shrimp. Huge, giant, grilled shrimp can come a myriad of ways. Many times they have a special on the white board. Get it. Since I try to do the no white flour/low carb thing, I usually get the Camarones Cancun which are perfectly grilled shrimp, pineapples, peppers and onions all mixed with their queso- yep- sounds crazy, but it's delish! Comes with rice. Rice is decent, not a fan of the beans. Tacos are solid. There is a pretty big selection of your standard combo specials and entrees. I wouldn't say they are "cheap" but it's reasonably priced and one of our go-to "cheap" Mexican places.

    Mainly went here with my husband and some friends for a friend's birthday dinner. I really loved the decor...it seemed a little more modern than a regular Mexican food restaurant. The staff was very welcoming and the waiters for our table were awesome. I wasn't too hungry, so I only ordered a grilled chicken quesadilla and a bowl of cheese dip to split with my husband. Both were delicious! The only thing I didn't care for were the prices...we paid nearly $6 for my quesadilla, when I have gotten it cheaper at other restaurants. However, I will gladly come back!

    Have frequented Tequila's for many years, but I'm sad to say it's going down hill. There's all new staff in there these days, which may have a lot to do with it. Tonight there was miscommunication about a vegetarian fajita burrito order with the waiter. What arrived was a flour tortilla filled almost entirely with onions, beans and rice were on the side. Gross, but miscommunications are not fatal, was hoping to have the kitchen readjust the burrito. However, the waiter became argumentative with me, taking no culpability for the miscommunication. Even the manager treated me like a schmuck. They did eventually offer me something else, but I declined - I'll never take food from an angered food staff! Sorry to say that after over 50 trips to my favorite local Mexican place, this experience turned me and I will not ever be going back.

    Went here with some friends for a birthday dinner and I was blown away. While a little pricier than most mexican restaurants they give you a huge amount of food for what you pay. Also, while their menu selection is smaller, they have a pick 2 or pick 3 combo option where you can choose from any combination made up of burrito, taco, chili relleno, enchilada, quessadilla, chalupa, tostada and tamale. And regardless of the combination you get beans and rice, plus you can add their yummy queso on-top of your food for 99 cents extra. When you stop and consider the different varieties each item typically comes in (chicken, beef, cheese, etc...) and factor it in to the possible combinations, who needs a combo menu! This is pure genius and so delicious. And the cheese, oh the cheese. I could not get enough of the queso, so I had queso on my beans (they come with it), queso on my rice, queso on my quesadilla and of course... Cheese enchiladas topped with queso..... I had the most wonderful food coma after finishing my meal and look forward to the next one. This is easily one of my top 5 Mexican restaurants, possibly top 3.

    One of the most pleasant surprises I've experienced in Nashville to date... I was dragged here by my fiance, who wanted to try something new and different for lunch. I was running errands in the Nashville West shopping center and told him to pick a place nearby to meet. When he suggested Tequila's I hesitantly agreed, thinking the place would be the normal subpar Tex-Mex joint Nashville seems to have plenty of. When I walked in, I was immediately greeted by a friendly host, who offered a very genuine "Hola, Amiga!" My fiance was already seated and halfway through a basked of chips and salsa. He told me I needed to try some immediately, as they are the best he's had in Nashville so far, and I am a chips and salsa fanatic. He was right! The salsa is flavorful, with a good amount of tang and spice, and the chips were warm and fresh. Tequila's had me right there. I ordered chicken fajitas for lunch, and they were served within 10 minutes of ordering, piping hot and sizzling on an iron pan. The chicken was moist and very tasty, the portions of meat and veggies were both plentiful, and the tortillas were fresh and delicious. My only complaint was that I asked that the fajitas be prepared with little to no oil, and they came out a little oiler than I would have liked. Nothing some napkins couldn't fix! My fiance enjoyed his soft tacos, though far preferred my fajitas. With tip, we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch for $20. You simply can't beat the price for the quality and quantity of food you receive. We'll definitely be back!

    I'm giving this place 4 stars for one reason. It was way better then I expected. My girlfriend and I were looking for a New Mexican restaurant and saw this on yelp. We knew where it was and thought it would be a shady place. The shopping center it's in has that sort of appearance and vibe but being adventitious we decided to try it anyways. When we walked in I was pleasantly surprised with how clean and friendly the staff was. The food was like most Mexican I have encountered in Nashville and frankly I like El Stuffed Pepper or Rose Pepper better but over all everything was pleasant and the food wasn't bad. If your feeling adventurous and can't make up your mind like my girlfriend and I then take a chance on this place. I think you'll be surprised like we were.

    OK.... I live right by this place. Have been countless times. It's always been a decent place to get Mexican food on the west side. I'm still waiting for a GREAT Mexican joint to pop up over here. I've tried them all. No one is great :( Food here is just ok. Margaritas are not that good. They're the cheap green stuff that's watered down. Chips and salsa... just ok. These would all normally be reasons to not go back to a certain place but b/c of the lack of any good Mexican restaurants in the area and the fact we live super close, we kept going back. The main reason I'm not going back is the lack of customer service. A good restaurant recognizes repeat customers and should treat them as such. I'm not saying anyone deserves free food or anything but a genuine appreciation would be nice. My family and I never got it here. Sometimes we would come with a big group of friends and it seemed like they were upset we were there?! We've never not tipped well or anything like that that would justify this attitude. After a few more bad experiences with the staff we've just decided not to go back here.

    In visiting Nashville I relied on Yelp to take me to Mexican food - and Tequila's consistently had great reviews. Glad we followed recommendations! Tequila's had perfect service - amazing salsa - and the food was super yummy. You can't go wrong! Venture out and enjoy the margaritas!!

    Took my wife and kids here tonight for the first time and will not ever go back. Food was normal Mexican food but the service was awful. It wasn't crowed for a Saturday night either. The waiter never refilled our drinks and my wife and kids went to the car as I waited 20 mins on check and I repeatly asked for it! Don't waste your time!

    There are three kinds of Mexican restaurants: the large chains that are tex-mex (at best); the cookie cutter restaurants; and, finally, restaurants like Tequilas. It has the items you expect from any decent neighborhood Mexican restaurant. But the menu is decidedly different from the run-of-the mill places, with a lot of unique takes on the old standards. There are also things that Tequilas does unique from other restaurants. Finally, one thing that sets a Mexican restaurant apart is its salsa. Tequila's salsa is just spicy enough, with good texture and flavor.

    Easily and by far the best Mexican food restaurant in West Nashville, and definitely amongst the top in the greater Nashville area!! I give Tequila's credit for balancing true authenticity with Americanized cheap Mexican fare, which is saying a lot considering the dearth of authentic Mexican fare in Nashville. Do not judge this restaurant by its exterior. Tequila's is located in the corner of a less-frequented strip mall with a bowling alley and a discount home place, but the interior is dimly lit and cozy- great for dates. The waitstaff is excellent and you can tell they take great pride in the quality of their food, which they should.

    I had the flautas and my hubby had a burrito. I'm proud to say that I was the best picker this go around. Typically, I end up liking his meals better than mine. Everyone talked about the cheese dip so we got some. I'm spoiled by oklahoma mexican Restaurants bc queso is like salsa and they just give it to you, but even so, it's worth getting the cheese dip. About a 25 dollar ordeal for 2 meals and the dip. Something I really liked are the generous portions of guac and sour cream! I'd go again. If I lived here!

    This place is awesome! This is by far the best Mexican restaurant around. I love their cheese dip! They have good cheese fries! Everything is so good here. I love this place and it's right around the corner from my house. I can call and order and the food is done rather quickly.

  • Sheena T.

    It had been a really long time since I'd eaten at Tequila's and I gave them another try on Saturday. We ordered cheese dip like any good American, and it was perfect! Good consistency; not too runny, and the flavor was great! I loved the salsa but it was in a really tiny dish and we had to ask for a lot more of it! I love hot salsa, and this one was pretty hot. If you aren't a fan of heat, this would be too much for you and you should probably ask for a mild salsa. But I loved it! For entrees I ended up ordering off the a la carte menu and had a bean burrito. It was fantastic! The beans were very good and it had the perfect amount of cheese and red sauce on top. Yum! I also tried a drink of the margaritas on the rocks and they were very good and reasonably priced too! Overall it was a good meal and service was fine with the exception of a weird/funny incident with our server. I went to the bathroom after we had paid and was going to meet my friends outside. Our server stopped me from the bathroom and asked where his pens were. I was confused and didn't pay because my BF picked up the tab. He kept on saying "I need those pens, ask your friends if they took them!!" So I went outside and asked... apparently he had also stopped my BF asking him where his pens were. They were all left in the check holders on the table! Ha. Another staff member came outside not long after and told us not to worry, apparently our waiter thought we stole his pens before looking and it was a big deal. That was a first! Great Mexican joint close to Nashville West, just don't take the pens!!

    We happen to live very close to the area, and happened to know a few folks from where we live- so this might be a bias review---- however! The food? First class homemade, the customer service?? First class fast. The people? You gotta know em. It's the place to be. I am proud t be a part of the neighborhood cuz not only is the food amazing, but the folks who work here are down for a personal connection. A++ all the way.

    My second favorite Mexican eating establishment in the west side. The staff servers and bartenders were very considerate an helpful. We heard about this place at another place so decided to stop in and we were so pleased we did. Came on a Saturday lunch. Friend has the burrito, really great red sauce and salsa. Also had the nachos. The red sauce and the considerate servers will keep is coming back. Parking I lot and is easy. Enjoyed this place.

    My wife and mother-in-law are authorities on Mexican food, and they concur that this is the best in Nashville. Not only that, but the staff is charming and professional, and they make sure you get a pitcher of their delicious margaritas when it will save you money. The cherry on top? They serve the MOLCAJETE!

    Yum! The bf and I came here for dinner on halloween weekend and enjoyed delicious Mexican food. I loved the quesidillas I ordered and the chips and salsa were solid. The employees were decked out for the holiday and one of them tried (somewhat unsuccessfully) to scare me, which was pretty fun. Great service, reasonably priced, and I've heard they make a damn good margarita, though I haven't tested that out myself just yet.

    Watch out momma you are going to get slapped!... Really, it was that good. So let me tell the story. First, mad props to Yelp.com because this is the first restaurant that i have ever been to solely on the recommendation of this site. It was lunch time today and we were working in bell Meade and we were low on cash. In Richy rich-ville that means your options are limited. So i typed in the filter; cheap, close and good. this was the #1 result that popped up so off we went. I was their first customer of the day and was sat by the kitchen door. I knew i was in for an adventure when I immediately heard all the employees inside the kitchen give out a massive Aztec battle cry to start their shift. Then our waiter instantly appeared with chips and salsa. I was fully prepared to order their $6.00 lunch portion of fajitas when i tasted the salsa. "WOW, this place may have some real potential". That is what i thought when i decided to jump into the deep end of the menu and order the $12 palliadia mexicana fajitas. [sorry about spelling there]. It was wonderful. the churizzo was very spicy. the pork was very tender and the carney asada was not overdone. My friend also ordered the fiesta chicken and said it was awesome. I did not taste his food but the presentation was pretty with very festive use of red and green peppers. Our waiter did his job well by giving me at least 5 drink refills plus refills on the chips and salsa. the only negative was the food took 14 minutes to get to the table after we ordered it but i was understanding because they were just opening. Believe me when i say this is a place that i want to go back to with other friends and say "LOOK WHAT I FOUND"

    I've been coming to Tequila's now for a year or so, maybe longer. I live very close so I was excited to see a Mexican place that close to home when they opened. I can give a pretty fair review now that I have tried many items on the menu. Fajitas - they're always good, with good quality meat, tender, juicy and flavorful. My favorite version is the Parillada Mexicana which comes with chorizo, chicken, steak, and shrimp and a carnita, along with the normal grilled veggies. I will say that sometimes the carnita that comes with this is a bit dry and tough and sometimes the shrimp are overcooked, but overall this is still my favorite fajita dish. (When I say sometimes, I would say out of 7 orders it may have happened twice) The normal carnitas however are always top notch. I think the difference may be that the carnita on the fajita plate gets a bit of extra cooking time being in with the fajita mix and on that hot griddle plate) They also have a spinach burrito dish that is excellent if you're vegetarian. It's creamy and rich with cheese. It comes with two and is great with a guacamole salad. (lettuce, tomato, guac) I also enjoy the fish tacos, they are not fried but grilled and have a nice kick to them. If you want it HOT like I do, you can ask them to cook the fish in the diablo sauce which to me, is still not "set you on fire" hot, but others would disagree. I have a pretty high threshold for what most would consider hot. For a different type of lunch I ordered the Huevos Con Chorizo (Eggs with Mexican sausage) which comes with rice and beans, and found it to be great! Light because of the eggs, but extremely tasty due to the chorizo being scrambled with the eggs. Their guacamole and salsas are always very fresh as well as the chips. Tequila's does a great job of offering the standard Mexican fare those in the US are accustomed to, but also has some items that lean more towards authentic Mexican. The one thing that is missing from the menu (and usually is on most Mexican joints) is a good Mole. If they could add a good Mole chicken dish, I would be in heaven. As I've said in previous reviews I'm a bit stingy with stars so very few joints get 5 from me, but Tequilas has always been a solid 4. They have a great and friendly staff, the food is never disappointing, and their prices are very reasonable. You can eat for under $10 easily, or you can get a large meal for between $10.00 and $16.00. If you live in, or are close to West Nashville, it's by far the best Mexican place you can find. And if you're looking for entertainment on the weekends, they do music and karaoke. (or at least they have been) They have a patio you can enjoy and a large back room for larger/private parties.

    Tequlia's is a hidden gem. I've eaten here about 7 times now and its become my favorite mexican restaurant in town. If you go, try the Chef's special, a ribeye stuffed with chorizo mash potatoes. Its so good! The 5 different fajita combinations are also great. The wait staff is alway very friendly and the owner is excepional.

    This review is long overdue considering my husband and I have been eating here once a week for who knows how long now. This place is by far my favorite Mexican restaurant in Nashville. I think we've tried one of almost everything on the menu and haven't been disappointed. I always end up going back to the Fajitas Hawaiiana (chicken, beef, shrimp, ham and pineapple) without fail because its that good. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive and the food arrives fairly quickly. Another big plus is their margaritas are awesome. Thursdays and Sundays pitchers are $13.99. Great food, great drinks, great service and the price is right. If you haven't tried Tequila's yet you really should!

  • Erin M.

    I'm not giving 4 stars for exceptional, intricate preparation or beautifully crafted tequila cocktails. I'm giving 4 stars because this is as good as it's going to get in this price-range. The servers were friendly, polite, and extremely quick. The food had lots of flavor- as it tends to have when smothered in cheese and/or cream sauce. I had the Camarones Chipotle- which wasn't spicy at all, but was rich and creamy. The shrimp was juicy. We got a pitcher of house margaritas on the rocks for $15. Although I loathe Cuervo- sometimes you have to slum it. They were completely drinkable and I dare say I sucked down more than my share. Tequila's has a pleasant atmosphere, it's not expensive, and it's the perfect place to stuff your face full of chips and guacamole, get half drunk, and slump over in a booth shoveling a huge plate of comfort food into your starving mouth.

    I used to really like this restaurant. I went a couple of times a month for the past four years or so, either with a group of friends for lunch or dinner with my wife. All that changed last Thursday night when I noticed the new No Guns sign at the door. It had just gone up that week. I won't be spending a dime there again.

    It's nice to know there's good Mexican food in West Nashville. The staff is nice and accommodating. The food is always prepared quickly and well. Be sure to get a tasty margarita to complement your meal. The salsa is pretty delicious. I would, however, avoid going when it's karaoke night (not sure what day of the week that is). In essence, I would describe this establishment as Las Palmas with slightly better tasting food.

  • Steph H.

    I've spent a lot of time on Yelp talking about the glories of "authentic Mexican" food, which is actually readily available in Nashville. Of course, there's plenty of TexMex and Americanized Mexican food available in Nashville too, and I happen to think that's a good thing. Sometimes you just want to eat something that's slathered in cheese sauce, am I right? U.S. Border Cantina used to be our go-to spot for Mexican food when I was craving queso and margaritas, but now that it's gone to the restaurant graveyard in the sky, Tequila's is our new haunt when we're in the mood for Meximerican (a term of my own creation) food. I think most of these "Mexican" restaurants are pretty interchangeable, but Tequila's food is legitimately very tasty (the fajita burrito is enough for two, though it's so yummy you won't want to share) and has lightning fast service. Additionally, while it doesn't serve the best margaritas I've ever had, it does offer up decent incarnations of them, and for a reasonable price, too. For $6.50, you can get a top-shelf marg that will seriously rev your engine. Better yet, they have plenty of drink specials, including $15 margarita pitchers on the weekend (and they're even cheaper during the week), which makes getting your tequila fix all the easier. So not authentic by any means, but still good in its own right. The food is filling and inexpensive and the service is friendly. Sometimes that-and a margarita- are all you need.

    Husband and I went last night. We performed our own taste test of margaritas and decided premium brand was worth the $2 difference. We ordered a fajita mix and burrito with shrimp and mixed veggies ( on the especiale list). Both were more than one person could eat, succulent and well-flavored. Even the beef was nice and tender. The place was crowded but we were seated right away. Service v good. Price range is just under $10 to $15.

    My husband and I go to Tequila's all the time. It is definitely one of the best mexican restaurants in town. We've brought family members and several of our friends and they all loved it too. We always get the Fajitas Texanes which has beef, chicken and shrimp and one order is enough for us to split. They are the best fajitas I've ever had. The margaritas are delicious as well. My dad always tries the special of the day, and has never been let down. The staff is friendly and they always have a warm atmosphere. It is a must visit especially if you live on the West side of town.

    Tequila's is our (husband and i) favorite mexican in town. I really like the cheese enchiladas (the sauce is amazing) and they have good spinach burritos too. If you want to splurge try the papas con queso (french fries with queso sauce). Not healthy but oh so good! The staff is friendly. The manager / owner always makes us feel very welcome. It's also a good place to eat while there is a game on. Husband can keep an eye on the game (they have a couple of tv's) while you eat. Oh and don't forget the mango margaritas!

  • G. L.

    Tequilas has been my new favorite Mexican restaurant since the first time I went there, but I can't say much about the menu because I always order the same thing--chicken fajitas. I love 'em, and Tequilas does them so right I crave them. Well flavored and the veggies are always cooked just right. Friends who order other things always finish their plate and compliment the food, so I assume that it's all good. I don't usually eat chips and salsa while waiting for food, but their salsa is good enough to have changed my ways. So lets get to the real reason I go there: the margaritas :-D I prefer mine top shelf, on the rocks, no salt, and they're so good I always have a second. The atmosphere is fun, staff super friendly (they always remember my name!), and the place is clean. Don't let the restaurant's proximity to Dollar General and a bowling alley stop you from going---it's definitely worth a trip. They also have a back room that I've been told can be reserved for large parties.

    I've been a regular here for several years, and cannot say enough positive things about Tequila's. The owner and staff are so accommodating, and the dishes are consistently tasty! My personal favorite is the chicken soup, washed down with a margarita (or two), and a crunchy taco (or two). It's a little bit of a drive for me, but I'll gladly make the commute to get my fix!

    Good luck getting seated. My boyfriend and I walked in and asked for a table for two. The rude, what appeared to be 15 year old hostess held up her finger and told us to hang on a sec. She walked away to set up a table for a large group who was waiting. While she was setting up the table, another couple walked in, and the girl at the cash register asked how many and she sat them immediately while we stood there right in front of her. We continued to wait while the original hostess came back and began speaking to what appeared to be the manager. After standing there awkwardly for probably another two minutes, we decided to leave. RUDEST SERVICE EVER.

    I grew up near Dallas, TX and ate Tex-Mex all the time...this is THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD I've found in Nashville so far. The regular stand-bys : Chuys, Las Palmas, Cinco De Mayo, just don't even compare. The prices are good, the service great, it looks like a hole in the wall from the outside, but once you step inside you'll see...this real mexican food the way it should be! Get the combo plate and choose your favorites. I ordered chicken burrito, chicken chille relleno, and chicken quesadilla with beans and rice only $10! Simply the best flavor and perfectly cooked, especially the quesadilla, light and crisp, but not oily or greasy. These guys know what they're doing, I'm going back....

    Tequilas does the normal stuff but there are exceptions, they let the real Mexican come out sometimes. fish tacos, yes. the fajitas carabenas are good, the hot salsa (not served on the table you have to ask for it) is authentic and the enchilada sauce is yummy. I think the owners are from Guerrero originally, which is on the west coast of Mexico. check it out.

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.
