    Service was great, food was just ok. I felt like I should have just ate the street food instead. The menu definitely needs to improve. I expected so much more.

    Mole
    Yasiri N.

    The chicken mole was very flavorful! If you are in the mood for a classic chocolate sauce that is sweet and savory, get this! The restaurant is so nice and they make hand made tortillas fresh and ready to order. The service is very fast and accommodating! This is a great place to come to with friends/ family on vacation before going on a tour!

    Chilaquiles with skirt steak
    Jose M.

    For a good breakfast I'd recommend this restaurant. The cafe de olla was delicious and the pan dulce was finger licking good. I got some chilaquiles with skirt steak. The chilaquiles were good but the skirt steak was just okay. The location is very nice and clean and very bright for nice pictures!

    Tortilla station
    Sanah B.

    Despite 'Cholula' being in the name of this restaurant, the food had no spice or memorable flavor although the ingredients were fresh. The highlight was absolutely the fresh corn tortillas, especially getting to watch the skill and love with which the professionals made them right in the middle of the restaurant's main floor. Definitely some of the best tortillas I've had. The vegan options here were light -- guacamole (way too limey, almost inedible to me but I was starving), fries, and a side of veggies (literally just a few pieces of sautéed broccoli and carrots, no sauce). The beans had lard in them. Wouldn't be back unless desperate, but I will say others seemed to enjoy their meals. The mariachi band was a nice touch although it makes it very hard to have a conversation.

    The worst aguachile I ever had

    Service was what ever. But the food was awful. My daughter order the Birria de res and was not good. Ambiance was okay. Never again.

    Another good one in Tequila, Jalisco, cholula Restaurant where we had a really good Alfresco meal of "pinchos" or cheechkabob with all the mexican goodies!! Is iin front of the @josecuervotequila and close to the @sauzatequila experiences. Is a lot of fun!!

    Suppose to be torta ahogada.

    We've traveled throughout Mexico for years. This is, without a doubt, the worst food I've eaten in Mexico. I get that it's a tourist destination but they didn't even try. I believe this was the only meal we didn't finish.

    The restaurant.

    Food was very good and on time, service was great and very friendly. Staff was very attentive to our needs. The ambiance was great, live mariachi. Great selection of music. It was on on Tuesday so maybe as to why the service was so good.

    Aguachiles (are the ones with avocado), tacos de camarón & margarita de limon
    Vane H.

    The aguachiles were really good- I love the lemony taste & also the margaritas of lime are really good. Muy buena comida!

    Guacamole
    Lou G.

    Food was AMAZING. It was fresh and full of flavor. I absolutely loved the tortilla making station, I know I had fresh tortillas. The guacamole cart made our guacamole right in front of us. I look for traditional foods with authentic flavors. Finding authentic vegan dishes can sometimes be a challenge, our waiter met our needs and reconfirmed With the kitchen. The rest of my family enjoyed their meat dishes, all different orders and all completely pleased. The energy and ambiance was pure delight. Service was amazing place was very clean. I highly recommend eating here.

    Steak plate

    This place was okay. My steak Insanely salted and when I asked for some Cholula, they said they only sold Cholula and don't give it as a sauce on the side for your food. They had 3 different kinds of Cholula for purchase. Don't know how they expect people to buy it if they haven't tried it

    Daisy E.

    If I could give this place a zero I would!!! If you're Mexican and like authentic home food, DO NOT COME HERE!!! The tacos tasted like tofu.. if you're not Hispanic and wanna try what you think is Mexican come here.

    Good food at a great value! The jericalla is phenomenal. Loved the outdoor seating and ambience.

    Fantastic Margarita infused with a flaming hot chili pepper.

    This lovely restaurant is inside the Hotel Solar de la Ánimas. It is centrally located in the heart…read moreof the main square of Tequila and it was a truly wonderful experience. We were tired from a long day of travel and our brains were working a little slow. Our server were kind, patient, and offered suggestions but not in an overly pushy kind of way. And the items they suggested were not the MOST expensive on the menu. Our server asked us what we were in the mood for and suggested some dishes for us to share. She was spot on. We started with queso fundido with Spanish sausages and some guacamole with chips. For mains we had the Torta Haogada () and Carne en su Jugo () (traditional tequila beef stew). Both were EXACTLY what we needed after a long travel day. Now the best part, the original and handmade margaritas. . They have a whole variety of specialty margaritas and my little Puerto Rican went a flutter when I saw they had a margarita with guayaba puree. They also had one with Higo flower which is sweet and delicious. Both margaritas were AMAZING. I can't wait to go back and try some more of the food and the drinks.

    Highly recommend La Antigua Casina for their delicious food, excellent service and welcoming…read moreambiance. We enjoyed their piña mezcal and lemonade along with salads, aguachile and ceviche. Great tasting and generously plated. We arrived, without a reservation, as their weekend brunch ended and comida period began, for this reason, we scored a table. Noticed a few people without a reservation were turned away. Had an amazing meal and we will be sure to book ahead next time!
