“Amazing food, fast service, and an AMAZING Sunday brunch that is both Mexican food and traditional breakfast items! I highly recommend them if you are in Waterloo, they have a huge menu that everyone can find something that they’ll love on.“
“Food here is always good, service is decent for the most part, always nice upbeat music playing and the restaurant plus bathrooms are always clean.Parking: Plenty of parking though the lot can be a little tricky to maneuver.Wheelchair accessibility: There are handicap parking spots, a ramp to get into the building, and plenty of tables that are wheelchair accessible.“
“Newish to the area, me and the wife were missing our Mexican down south. We have been hunting around for a good Mexican spot. This is the winner by far!!!!! It means a lot to get great food and service, and El Paso hits the nail on the head!“
“I visited Tequila Mexican Restaurant for the very first time this evening and was abundantly pleased..I didn't know what to expect, really, but shared photos convinced me to give them a shot..I would describe this restaurant as a "hybrid" sit down place.. What do I mean?? So, you enter and order at the counter, and then your food is delivered to your table..I ordered two, a la carte al pastor street tacos and a margarita.. The street tacos were divine, and despite my late visit, the ingredients (pork, onions, cilantro, and tortillas) were pleasantly fresh and packed with flavor..The accompanying chips and salsa were a nice touch, and the margarita was quite flavorful..Every member of the staff I interacted with was wonderfully pleasant, and the generous military discount on the food was a nice touch, too!!I will certainly revisit this venue the very next time I visit the Columbia area.. A very clean and niche restaurant with great eats and service!! ?“
“If you're looking for a place to enjoy a massive margarita on the IL side, then Mariachi's is the spot for you! My go to is the jalapeño margarita. As far as I know this is not on the menu but I just can't get enough spice and it's fantastic every time. Try it out! I've been to this location a handful of times now and the beef chimi has become my "usual". The beef is so well seasoned! If you're not into the chimi, My boyfriend recommends the enchiladas. App wise..The cheese dip is on point and the salsa is great. The service is lightning fast, and the staff remembers their regulars. The indoor seating is ample, but if you prefer some fresh air, their patio is a great option. Plus, they have plenty of space for large groups. Ps-they have a gambling room attached with slot machines. So, after you've stuffed yourself with some tasty Mexican food and a few margaritas, you can try your luck at the slots.“
“Kid-friendliness: Honestly Judy is the best. Always so kind but today my kid had just had dental work and was extra loopy. Judy responded so sweet to the child in the back seat with her window rolled down who said "HI!!!". When we pulled away my kid yelled one final "HAVE A GOOD DAY!" and Judy heard and yelled back for her to do the same. It's little things like that bringing customers like myself returning. ❤️“
