El Tequila Mexican Restaurant

Overpriced! Especially on some items. And in those same cases the value is lacking. I go back and forth to California and Arizona, and sorry Minnesota people who think this is the cat's meow--you've been drinking too much Tequila. The combo plate with their normal Mexican items were just so-so. The worst part was the Chili Rellano. It was this little tiny thing that was a small pile of nothingness. Ruined my meal, my favorite part, too. I ate here three years prior numerous times, and it is not the same or nearly as good. The chili rellano before was at least average or above average. Their price increases far exceeds inflationary guidlines by leaps and bounds. No more for me! Mexican eateries are said to be one of the cheapest to run in terms of ingredients, and their prices blows this concept right out of the tequila, which too is overpriced.

Phenomenal! absolutely phenomenal!! We had lunch here today and I can tell you we can be pretty picky but they blew us away. From the service to the amazing food. Would definitely recommend a stop here when in Brainerd. I know this is going to be our go to for eats when we are in town.

Great service the waitress did very very well
Food was good
Truck driver friendly

There is a server named Jose (he is a tall, thin guy with curly hair) who is quite impatient and gets irritated easily if you ask him for something extra, he responds with a rude attitude, and you can see his face is annoyed… . Even though we were quite nice to him, I think that it is not the right attitude, because as a customer you are going to spend a nice time with your family and with that attitude you only manage to make the customers uncomfortable.
I had not had that experience before with other waiters since I have been a frequent customer for a long time. I think that they should pay attention to this aspect, since although the facilities are nice and comfortable and the food is nice, a bad service from one of their employees can make you simply not want to go back there.

Always great food and service!!

Absolutely loved this restaurant. The service was faster than expected, and the food was excellent. The tables and chairs were beautifully engraved with the restaurant's name and an image. I would definitely go out of my way to stop there again.

Way to expensive for food that was sub par, margaritas were not good, go somewhere else if you want good Mexican food

Almost everything is about $20 or more.
The taco salad was good but was$16.25 which was high and about the least costly on the menu. One chicken/cheese quesadilla was $8. The salsa brought with the chips is very plain. I'm from Texas and expect some onion and cilantro, some chunky texture to the salsa. If prices were lower they would have more customers, in my opinion.

I was in shock when I tasted the menudo. It was actually good. Just like San Antonio menudo. Didn't like the tamales. And why did they serve me a plate of rice with the menudo???????

My daughter and I split the fajitas for two. Hands down the BEST Mexican dish I have EVER had in my life. We are gluten free and this was something we could both enjoy, and we did! The service was beyond fantastic, Almendera (probably misspelling her name) was an amazing server and very talkative with us, even though we were outside and more out of the way we still had great attention. My granddaughter loved her. Overall, wonderful experience and the food was top notch!!
