The staff are very attentive, friendly, and you get acknowledged immediately. Chips and salsa arrived at our table, when we did! The chips were light and crispy, but not greasy the salsa was addictive! 8 had the chilli Verde plate, it was tasty! It's my gem!

Used to be good. Has been deteriorating over time. Extremely salty food, tough beef in the burritos, chunks of fat now. Brought it up to waitress and we were ignored. After many other visits and the deteriorating quality, we’re done with this place!

Great food, friendly service. If you are looking for garlic butter mushrooms with your Mexican food look nowhere else. Great choices, huge menu with just about any type of protein you might be craving. If you want a special treat try the chorizo cheese dip, it will knock your socks off.
Not much of a Margherita fan but they have a huge selection.

Best salsa-slaw ever. If you're feeling really hungry, try the shredded beef Chimichunga. Fantastic!

If this place was in Denver, they would be out of business. Good salsa...and that's about it.

This restaurant deserves 5 stars in all areas of service. The food is delicious. The folks operating this business are genuinely friendly. The menu is extensive and the prices are remarkably reasonable. This is my new favorite restaurant.
UPDATE: 8/2025
I have been going to El Tequileno for 8 years. I have hosted dozens of special occasions with family and friends there. Last Wednesday a friend and I went there for an early dinner. Our server was friendly and efficient. When the check came I put my credit card on the tray and our server took it to the cashier. Moments later the cashier, Katy, came back with the credit card and print out for me to sign. She threw the credit card tray on the table without breaking stride and said something unintelligible that ended with 'You guys'. We were dumbfounded. I took the credit card printout and started to add the tip. She had entered zero on the line for the tip and totalled the bill. My friend took the card and credit printout up to her and had it redone so I could tip our server. I was too angry by then to interact with her. I entered the tip and signed the printout. I asked to speak to the manager and had to wait around 5 minutes to speak to her. While I was waiting for the manager, Katy looked at me and smirked at me. Tomorrow, I am hosting a special family dinner out and we will not be going to El Tequileno.

Food and service were both great. The acoustics in the place are really loud! Almost too loud to hear the waitress.
