El Tequila Mexican Restaurant

We've been in El Tequila a few times and have yet to be disappointed. The food is excellent, the service is wonderful and at the end of the night you can even get a free cab ride (up to $15), if needed. We will definitely go again when we're in the neighborhood. Thx to the bartender, Kylee, and the rest of the staff!

Ahhhh-mazing from the moment we walked in the door! The hospitality, food, and drinks are worth a special trip here - often!!

One of our favorite places to eat in Brainerd-Baxter! The staff are always personable, friendly and accommodating and the food is top notch!

So there’s fast food…and there’s just fast food. This place is amazingly fast getting food to your table. I swear I hadn’t even finished saying what I wanted and the plate was sitting there in front of me. Don’t get me wrong, the food was very good for Tex Mex food and the service was very friendly. Lots of seating at the restaurant so if google shows it as being busy, you’d probably still get your food faster than McDonald’s. Highly recommended.

I’m from Houston, Texas and we have some of the best Mexican Cuisine in the US. I was pleasant surprised with the food here. Def worth it to check it out while in Brainerd, MM

I'm a big fan of Mexican food, and as someone from Arizona, I have pretty high standards when it comes to quality and authenticity. So when I'm traveling and someone offers me Mexican food, I'm usually a bit skeptical. However, I'm so glad that I decided to give this place a try!

The food here is fantastic - it's flavorful, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection. I couldn't get enough of the delicious tacos and burritos, and the chips and salsa were a perfect accompaniment. The only thing I would say is that I could have used more tortillas, but that's a small complaint.

Overall, the prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food that you get. I was pleasantly surprised by the portions, which were quite generous. The service was also excellent - the staff were friendly and attentive, making for a great dining experience.

If you're a fan of Mexican food like I am, I highly recommend giving this place a try. It's definitely worth it, even if you're in the northeast where good Mexican food can be hard to find.

The food was so delicious 😋
I think we found our new favorite restaurant!!
The beautiful workmanship they have done in the restaurant is amazing and so inviting.
Our waitress Johanna,was such a delight and had wonderful recommendations on what to order 😊
If you like Mexican food,with a perfect atmosphere and staff...you must stop in and try it for yourself..You Will Not Be Disappointed 👍

Absolutely my Favorite Restaurant of all time food is amazing. The gigantic strawberry blended margaritas and the big fajitas are the best. I. So Addicted!! Also don't forget the amazing chops and fresh salsa head over heels we always leave full with leftovers for a late-night snack yumm!

Food is delicious and menu is absolutely massive, so many choices! They offer both flour and corn tortillas, which I greatly appreciate as I have been to far too many "Mexican" restaurants that only have flour. Both our drinks and entrees came out very fast. Service was great and the staff was very friendly. Will definitely be returning!

One of the best fajitas in the country! I travel all over the country from my job. I have diabetes so I a lot of chicken and vegetables. The fajitas here are the very best. Do not miss an opportunity to eat a meal here.

couldn't be more surprised at how good and plentiful it was, great artwork and seemed to be all Mexican people working there

I've loved this place since it opened in the old location. The food is still amazing! Pina Colada was perfect! Fried ice cream is always a favorite. The service was top notch. The designs in the woodwork we're a great touch! The atmosphere was great!

The food was wonderful and the service was friendly. Considering how busy they were, the food came quite fast. Overall a great experience.

Awesome service! Authentic atmosphere. Great flavor. Tried the chicken and steak tacos, the chimichanga and the bacon fries. Enjoyed them all.
The salsa could use some more flavor.

Excellent food, clean place and great service!Definitely recommend!

Friendly staff, great atmosphere, food was so tasty and served promptly. I recommend this restaurant highly. Item I ordered was not spicy, which is a huge plus for me. Try this restaurant you will not be disappointed.

Loved so much we waited at most 5 minutes for our food. Everyone was so nice. 100 percent recommend!

Great food, prices, and service LOVE the atmosphere. I’m coming back again!

You can usually tell how good the food is going to be by the chips and salsa, which were both great. The food is phenomenal. Everything was seasoned appropriately, the shrimp was not overcooked, it was tender and juicy. Not a single complaint can be made about the food quality. However, this is expensive for Mexican cuisine. A couple things to be aware of, The booths are on the narrow side, if you have large people in your group you will want to sit at a table. The interior is slightly upscale which sort of clashes with the mexican chairs, I don't understand for the life of me why Mexican restaurants have not modernized. Yes, there are Aztec murals on the wall....Sound absorption in the seating area is ok, it could be better. Neuro-divergent's should be ok eating here, as there is not too much background noise.

Service was faster than fast food! Staff were very polite and helpful. Prices were a bit more I think, but,you did get a decent helping size. My burrito could have definitely had a bit more shrimp for the money! Really had to search for them! Plates were really Hot which of course so was the food! Very tasty!!! Would try again for sure!
