Voted Best Mexican Food on the Gulf Coast. Laid back Mexican with an American twist in a beachy atmosphere. Try our Cactus Grits and our Knockout Margarita

We have eaten here many times and really like this place. You are usually seated very quickly with the few exceptions when the snow birds and tourist are here, but its like that everywhere. The service is fast and the wait staff has always been friendly and very knowledgable of the menu. After seated they quickly drop off salsa and chips at your table. I particularly like their tacos, fajitas and chimichangas. They have a large menu so everyone will find something they like. The portions are large so your big eaters won't leave the table hungry.

We have been going here for several years and have never been disappointed. The restaurant is always very clean and the service is great. After you are seated they bring salsa and chips to your table. If you like spicy this salsa is for you, it's very good. The Margaritas are also excellent. Everything on the menu is really good, the hard shell tacos and chimichangas are excellent as are the fatias. The service is always good, food is excellent and prices are reasonable.

Husband and I went last night for our weekly "date" night. We LOVE Mexican food but have tired of the same ol same ol. This was our first time at Tequila's and we were not disappointed. We were seated immediately. Ordered our drinks and some cheese sauce for the chips. Absolutely, hands down, the BEST cheese sauce and the salsa was excellent! I had a chicken and cheese quesadilla and a beef taco. Both were very very good. The husband had a taco salad and avocado salad and he said that there could have been a little more burger in the taco salad but the avocado was the freshest he had ever had at a restaurant. The service was a little off but did not affect our time. We now have a new favorite Mexican restaurant.

Surprisingly very delicious. We are definitely Mexican restaurant snobs and they typically do not live up to our standards but this one blew us away. Their large guacamole and cheese dip is actually a really good price. Seriously, we were shocked by a lot of the prices, especially for the area...very reasonable. The grilled meat tasted marinated which isn't typical of Mexican restaurants. We will definitely be back!
