    Did a quick roadtrip to a state park nearby, saw a hidden fall and stopped by this place. The people are friendly and the food is great too, specially the fajita beef. It tasted really good 😊

    A comfortable spot to grab some scrumptious Latino cuisine. ¡Muy bien! Lunch menu options are affordable at $9.99 with a variety of choices 😋 Plenty of parking, too.

    Service and food was amazing! Great to see a good crowd on a Monday afternoon. Stopped while passing through on a trip and will certainly be back. Highly recommend this place.

    Unfortunately this was not a good experience. Absolutely love Mexican food. With that being said I was a little disappointed with the quality of food and the poor selection of liquor based on the price we paid $28 for two margaritas supposed to be top shelf I'm not even sure if there was any liquor in it that's not right. The food was okay, barely. Portions were good size came quick enough but just overpriced for the quality. $70 2 lunches two drinks. Not real impressive.

    The absolute best authentic Mexican you can find in MN!!! I have been going since they open at least two decades ago and every time I eat another Mexican restaurant I am so underwhelmed. El Tequila is the best!!

    We always love the food we get there. We don't go every time visit family in the area but we definitely get there a couple times a year. I wish I was a bit more adventurous myself but I stick with the enchilada and tamale combo usually. Service was great as usual.

    As soon as I walked in I was halfway greeted. When the actual server came he was very friendly and welcoming. Meeting him was the only enjoyable part of the experience. The food wasn’t as I was expecting, on the sign it says “authentic” not even close. And my drink didn’t have any alcohol in it. In all I am very disappointed.

  • 4/5 John s. 9 months ago on Google
    Very pleasant employees, food was a little skimpy, with overcooked chicken, and undercooked vegetables in the fajitas.

  • 3/5 Jeff V. 1 year ago on Google
    Its a Mexican like place. Better options elsewhere, even in town. Returned after an extended absence, not going back. Asked for no beans on either plate, got beans on both. Food was served hot, quickly. Just bland, unremarkable. Good chips, salsa again bland.

  • 1/5 Chris R. 1 year ago on Google
    Over priced expensive absolutely low quality gross food. Our stomachs don’t feel well after eating. The shredded chicken had an almost 2" long bone in it, over deep fried food, small portions, water tasted like rust. Took forever to even get water and they weren't busy. Four basic meals with no drinks created a $60 bill, they also charged a $3 admin fee on top of it. When I questioned it, they appeared caught off guard. That’s fine, the admin fee came off their tip. We will never go here again, even if it’s free. Stay away.

    Excellent food as always. This is my second favorite El Tequila my first being in New Prague and last being in Owatonna. I order the same thing at each one number 17 but ground beef. The Owatonna one never makes it right while here and New Prague got it spot on. I was here on a Friday night at 6pm. It was steady but we were able to get a table right away. Our server was super friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend their in-house hot sauce it was really good as well. 10/10 I will return for another date night.

  • 5/5 Prim I. 1 year ago on Google
    El Tequila is one of my most favorite places to eat- authentic Mexican food. It's about 45 minutes from the cities, would I drive there to just eat there? Probably not, but if I happened to be in the area, I would definitely make my way there, even for take out. The exterior is a dated orange building sitting on the side of Lyndale Ave amongst unkept tall grass, a little dilapidated but don't let that turn you away. Once inside you're greeted by familiar faces of the family that keeps the operation going, the smell of freshly cook tortilla chips and more orange walls reminiscent of a Hacienda, decorated with traditional art and pottery. Once sat, complimentary chips and salsa are bought to the table. Pro-tip: ask for seconds. The salsa is made in house, a liquid salsa consistency married together with chunks of onions, cilantro and tomatoes creating this robust umami flavor of goodness! I have drank the salsa before, it's okay. On to the rest of the food, I highly recommend the Molcajete and Burrito de Asada. The Molcajete is for someone who can't decide on their protein (so why not, have it all?); it is a mix of chicken, beef, pork and shrimp comes out sizzling hot in a Molcajete served with rice, beans, guacamole, sour cream and tortilla. It's essentially a DIY burrito/taco/wrap- what could go wrong? Burrito de Asada is also served with rice, lettuce, salsa and sour cream; pro-trip: ask to "spice it up" for an extra kick or on the side if unsure about spicy levels. The Faribault location is the better location so I've heard from those in the area. Highly recommend if you're in the area. Photo cr. to parents- I'm always busy eating chips and salsa.

👍👍 The food for me has always been good. My friend recently had a less than stellar experience there with one of the staff. But this time they completely redeem themselves! Megan our waitress was very busy but had amazing hustle handling the very busy restaurant. She was also very polite, great making...
