We wandered in on a Sunday afternoon to this eatery off the beaten path. The place was pretty chill, not super busy. The waitress was friendly and kind, efficient and had suggestions ready when I wasn't sure what kind of meat I wanted on my torta. She recommended asada and I was super happy to choose that. I love recommendations from staff, as I am zero percent picky and really want what they deem the "best" they offer. Our meals were hot, tasty and my girls LOVED the rice and beans. If we're hungry in the area, we'll come back for sure. Apparently they're rebranding, so stop in and give them a try if you haven't in a while! To be honest, my torta was incredible. Full of flavor and the bread was sooooo pillowy soft. read more

We've been meaning to try El Tequilazo for a while - we're so glad we finally did! It was absolutely delicious and our new favorite Mexican restaurant. Their chips and salsa is probably the best we've had, we could defintely tell it's made in house with fresh ingredients. Some places have salsa that's way too sweet, but this salsa was perfect and the chips were fresh, not stale. I ordered the Steak Trio tacos with corn tortillas and asked for extra limes. Loved it! The rice and beans were also excellent, which is a nice change because sometimes they can be forgettable other places. My husband ordered the Steak Jalisco (steak and shrimp) and thoroughly enjoyed it too. Service was great! Our server was a very nice lady who did a good job answering my question (did the steak trio come with cilantro/onions - yes it did) and providing quick service. She was attentive and friendly. Ambiance was quiet (we were the first customers of the day shortly after 11:00am on a weekday) but I'm sure they get busier as the day goes on. Already looking forward to our next visit. We will defintely be back! read more

The food was so delicious! The queso cheese was amazing! Beans and rice well prepared! When you walk in you are greeted with a host that is very quick of service also very polite. Miguel our service was fantastic, I haven't had such great service like his in a very long time! I wish I could've gave that man a $100! Miguel was beyond professional, patient, friendly and proficient. The restaurant is very clean and smells delicious also when you walk in! The enchiladas were fabulous and the steak burrito with the 6 shrimp. My daughter got a hold of it before I could even get a great picture lol. She got the chicken fingers and fries and she said the fries were the best fries that she's had in along time. I would definitely come back! You are also served with chips and salsa ! Prime spot !! read more

We just gave this place a second chance since it changed management(or maybe ownership) and if you haven't you HAVE to! The service is fantastic and the food was phenomenal. I had the Durango and it was amazing. My husband is from Mexico so we are well versed in Mexican food and we thought it was a hit! read more

We had wonderful service from Eric. The food was delicious and we received it quickly. We will definitely be back!

Well, I've quickly discovered I will not go hungry in Grain Valley! This place is amazing! Authentic! Fresh! Big portions!

The bite of cheese enchilada that I had was full of flavor! read more

Food was excellent and cold beer. I had the chicken fajitas and other two had steak fajitas. I would give it 5 stars for food. Fajitas came out sizzling hot and a platter full. Very good. Drawback was half the staff was unmasked. We were too tired to go elsewhere. Food excellent. Masks not so much. read more

El Tequilazo - Chicken Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Grain Valley, Missouri

Food, service, margaritas, chips, salsa & pico AMAZING! Fresh hot chips that are thin and crispy. Everything on the menu looked good, will be going back to try it all. read more

The food was hot, the room was chill and kept the volume tolerable on a busy night. The best service, hands down. Waters were full and plates were hot. We had a group of 15 people and we all received exceptional service from one single incredible woman. Margaritas are strong and the queso is serious business. Recommend. read more

Always delicious every time we visit!!! Their street tacos are the best!!! My son loves their El Botas. Highly recommend!!

Met my adult grandchildren for lunch last Saturday. The food and service are wonderful! The food is authentic, although a bit heavy on salt in the entrees. It's comfortable and attractive inside. Restroom has been scrubbed! Only issue may be parking. read more

I am allergic to onions so I asked for no onions and got them in my food and had to use my epiPen and then didn't get half the food the rest of our party ordered and the waitress didn't seem to care at all read more

We have been here several times to dine in. The food has been hit or miss for me, although my husband has always loved his choices. Their deep fried tacos are really great. One thing that brings down my rating is the service. Everytime we have been to dine in the restaurant, the service has always been slow. We did order to go in Cinco de Mayo. Now, I knew they would be slammed so I of course took that in to consideration. They said the food would be ready in 20 mins, but I arrived in 30 mins. They tried to hand me the wrong food 3 times and, after an hour of waiting (Cinco de Mayo? cutting some slack), I did get my food. Unfortunately, it had been in a bag sitting on the counter for 20 mins before they figured it out. And, this was after me saying my name, order, etc over and over. When I checked it out, we were missing items. I paid for what I received and left after being there for an hour at the bar. I hate it, because I love to support local, but not sure we will return. read more

It was nasty food, found hair in my food, and the waiter took way to long. Horrible service. And it was so dang loud. Calm your people!

If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, this is not the place. Food is definitely a fail. Trio enchiladas are horrible. White sauce bland. Cheddar sauce...yes they put cheddar sauce on the enchilada enough said And red sauce was super salty. Black beans had full Chile de árbol. Queso with chorizo was suuuuper salty. Husband got huarache with pastor. The pastor is far from pastor it was literally seasoned pork. Grabbed a burrito kids meal for our son. Definitely not kid friendly. Can't hold it. As a parent when you get a kids meal you want something they can pick up on their own. Burrito was just a long taco with ground beef in it. Being Hispanic I had higher expectations from a restaurant ran by Hispanics. In other words if you don't have any expectations for Mexican food this is the place for you. read more

I've only been here once, so I can't speak to all of their food obviously, but I had such a great experience I had to give five stars. I had the taco salad with steak. The bowl was perfectly crispy with a tiny bit of crumble (NOT just a giant tortilla chip), and the fillings were perfectly balanced. The flavors were what you would expect, but there was nothing that overpowered the meal. I honestly often find restaurants with too much cilantro or spice, or smothered in cheese so that you can't taste the food. This was not the case here. It was just....perfect. I also had the tiramisu for dessert (shared because you get a GOOD portion for your meal). To be fair, I'd only ever had this in Italian or combo restaurants before, but this was easily my favorite tiramisu overall. The espresso was subtle, and there was a stronger presence of caramel in this one. I just loved that. They also have a kid menu that is friendly for kids who aren't necessarily used to Mexican food. There are a couple options that are pretty universal. Our server was also very nice. He taught my son a few Spanish words and was so sweet and patient with him! That man must be a family man! His smile said all I needed to know about that place. We were there for a simple lunch, but I know I'll go back again. And hopefully now more people will go there too! read more

My husband and I have been here a couple of times before. The food has normally been very good and the service had always been spot on up until today. The food was bland I expected a little bit more spice for a Mexican restaurant we didn't get our appetizer until after we got our entrée when I had to ask for it I waited at least 15 minutes to get to go containers and I literally got them one at a time for the entrée then the appetizer and then the drink we saw the waitress when she brought our food out and the tickets very unprofessional read more
