Tequila's Mexican Restaurant - Cortez

Top-notch! The Birria was on special and I could have drank all the liquid when I was done. Margs are big and icy, service was excellent, and the atmosphere is cozy and intimate. All the portions were generous. We will be back!

The atmosphere is so warm and inviting and all the staff is so kind and attentive! Never had to ask for refills on our drinks or anything! Service was top notch! Everyone we’ve ever talked to who’s been here raves about it! Chips and salsa were very average. We got the super burritos-one with carnitas and one with shredded beef. It was good-but kinda average. Our kids got the chicken quesadillas and I honesty liked it more than our burritos! It was super yummy!

I am staying in Cortez for 2 nights for visiting Mesa-Verde NP. Went to the restaurant for dinner. After reading some negative reviews along with lot of positives, was skeptical on my choice. However, our dinner was immensely pleasant. Great ambience and service. Our server for the evening was really good. Food quantity and taste was great. We ordered two entrees for family if 4 with 2 kids and it was enough for us. Kids also enjoyed the food to the fullest. I highly recommend the restaurant.

Fantastic, authentic Mexican food! We had the steak fajitas for two and it was wonderful! The other diners seemed to be locals which says a lot about how good the food is. Highly recommend!

This is one of my family’s favorite place to eat when we are in town. The food is amazingly delicious. The wait time for food is fast. The servers are vigilant and always ready to refill drinks, chips and salsa. Everyone is professional and friendly. We really appreciate the excellent customer service and the cook’s passion for providing great tasting dishes.

2nd time being here.... if you don't get service at a certain place with books downtown but this place serves you immediately.. probably because you're brown. But service here is great and so is food.

We ate at Tequila’s last night and it was a fantastic experience. The service was excellent. The food was fast, fresh and delicious. The restaurant was clean and so were the bathrooms. My husband had the chicken and steak combo fajitas and mentioned several times how well the meat was seasoned. Also that the onions and peppers were cooked thoroughly and were perfectly tender. I had cheese and onion enchiladas. I didn’t love the enchilada sauce but the rice and beans were some of the best I’ve ever had. I grew up in Texas, so I’ve had plenty! Along with the fresh house made salad they served complimentary Mexican cabbage and it was so flavorful. I had never had that before. Tequilas and as some of the best Mexican food that we’ve had in Colorado.

Got into town and asked for some recommendations to go for dinner. This was recommended by the hotel front desk, and holy smokes, he was right! The chips salsa and cabbage thing were good, the cabbage dish was unexpected, but had a great flavor. Nice with the chips. Dinner was tonight’s special, brirera tacos. Pardon my spelling if that’s incorrect, but they were super good! Stuffed with brisket, not filler. Three were the perfect size for a great meal. Chicken enchiladas was our other choice, and no surprise, fantastic flavor. Tender enough to cut with a fork, just enough cheese so it’s not overpowering the sauce and filling. Rice and beans were good as well. You can actually see the pidgin peas, rare it seems. Overall we were glad we ate here, definitely recommend it if you’re in town.
