Review from Michelle C.

My friend and I stopped here on out way home to Chicago. We sort of figured that this would be a "miss", more of a tex-mex sort of joint rather than a good Mexican restaurant comparable to Chicago joints.
Boy were we wrong.
This place is great!
1. There is a huge outdoor patio. Too bad it was too cold for us to sit outside when we visited but if the weather had been nicer, the outdoor space would have been awesome to enjoy.
2. The margaritas - yum!!!! We ordered frozen strawberry margaritas and they were perfect! Perfect blend of flavor and really easy to enjoy.
3. The chips and salsa were wonderful. SO many restaurants get this wrong. The chips were perfectly crispy - not too crunchy but not soggy. The salsa was super delicious! Just the right amount of heat.
4. The food was good. I ordered a shrimp taco bowl and was surprised at how good it was. However, I don't think I would order this again. It was a little 'much' after a while (the sauce was good at first and then kinda fell flat).
5. The server was good and the service was pretty right on.
Overall, I gave this place 5 stars because I believe this has to be one of the best places to eat in the area. I might rate this place a little differently if it were in the middle of Chicago.
A must-try if you live here/travel through. -

My husband and I love Mexican food and we have eaten at many, many Mexican restaurants and I just have to say - Tequilas is absolutely nothing special.
I can make much better Mexican food at home and I'm not that great of a chef! Service was ok, atmosphere was less than what we'd hoped for, and the food was pretty bland. We have not been back. -

My friends and I stopped here for a sit-down meal before making a long drive up north. We were delightfully surprised with Tequilas!
The restaurant is huge with attentive waitstaff all uniformed. It also appears they have an outdoor patio.
Great drink specials where you can get a bucket of domestic or bucket of foreign brews (don't ask me, I really don't know beer). Of course they serve tequila and margaritas.
The menu is huge. I had the lunchtime taco salad with grilled chicken. I liked it and appreciated how the chicken was soaked in cheese first, then placed at the bottom of the crisp shell, followed by topics. I couldn't finish it all because it was a big portion and great value for the price.
Despite the good review, I've had better Mexican food in general (prefer not to have so much cheese), which is why Tequilas is "a-ok." -

I love me some tequilas. The have your standard Spanish dishes; burritos, tacos and the like but they really shine with their specialties. The polo loco, polo ranchero are tasty as are the fajita nachos. I was seriously addicted to them for about two years. Its just the perfect mix of queso, onions and peppers. The staff is a little weird and thats my main issue. The waiters are all pervs and hit on your girl or stare at her if shes good looking.

This is a pretty good mexican restaurant (for Southern Illinois). The beer is cheap, and the margaritas are pretty good as well. The food is a little above average, but altogether it's a cool place to go.

Excellent food. I recommend the Pollo Loco, it's their famous chicken.
