This place is awesome. But I also knew what I was getting into…read more Yes, this place is expensive. Yes, this place is loud. Yes, this place is meant for instagram. THAT'S THE POINT! This is meant to be your crazy expensive birthday bash or celebration, not an every day place. We are lucky to have a gem like this in Schaumburg with very busy servers who try their absolute best to give you a flashy service with delicious food. Are you seriously expecting this to be $50 meal for four? No way. There are many places you can get the same thing. Every time I've gone here, I've spent good money that I worked hard for, and have had great memories in the process. If you're expecting a simple Mexican restaurant, this is not your place. This is high end and very busy. Make a reservation, call in advance to make sure it's set. OpenTable is used by many restaurants, so you can't blame this restaurant for OpenTable's mistakes. The Los Tres Huastecos was PHENOMENAL. The Camarones Calavera was really fun to watch, experience, and eat. I don't drink, but my family loved their flashy drinks (the Deseo was their favorite). They made sure my father felt special on his birthday with a sash, a custom menu (which we requested for in advance with our reservation), and most servers took a moment to say happy birthday even when they weren't serving our table!! Chris was a fantastic server who despite being very busy, did a wonderful job with his service. I won't defend a place for no reason; I truly had a wonderful time that deserves its praise. I research everywhere I go, so obviously when my paycheck hasn't cleared, I'm not going here. But you also wouldn't go to Fogo De Chao or Hell's Kitchen and expect it to be as cheap as my burger at a Chili's (which I love as well). (Also for the comments about the guac, I do agree, but I've also seen the same size portion at other chains for the same price. *cough* south of the boarder *cough*)

If you're looking for a spot to celebrate a birthday or any special occasion, this place absolutely…read moredelivers. The whole experience feels like a party from start to finish. They offer these fun drink packages with sparklers and a whole crew coming out to hype you up--it's honestly such a cool touch and makes the night feel extra special. Just a heads up, it does get pretty loud--but in a good way. The music, energy, and overall vibe really bring the place to life, so if you're into that lively atmosphere, you'll love it. We went all in and ordered one of the giant shareable drinks for our group of six. It was definitely worth it for the experience, though a bit light on alcohol given the size. Pro tip: order a round of shots too--they serve them in this awesome airplane presentation, which just adds to the fun. Food-wise, everything was really solid. The octopus was a standout--perfectly cooked and super flavorful. The only letdown was the salmon; the portion felt a bit small for an entrée. Overall, great vibes, fun presentation, and a perfect place to celebrate with a group. Would definitely go back for another occasion.

Our tacos, enchiladas, soups, and churros came to us piping hot and well-presented. I wouldn't say that the food was bursting with flavor, but yummy nonetheless. Chips and salsa were fresh. If you're looking to have a comfortable seat, eat, drink, and have good conversation versus pickup a paper bag and go home, I'd say try Casa Tequlas Mexican Grill.

Great, great, great food!…read more I think this place has been here awhile now, but only recently did I get a chance to try it. I helped my father and my stepmother get their new iPhones at the T-Mobile next door and so they treated me and my daughter to dinner at Casa Tequilas! My stepmother said the fried tilapia was the best thing on the menu, so I ordered it and was absolutely shocked at the quality and portion (see photos below). The fish was fried perfectly, the accompanying sides were delicious and it was well worth the price. The service was great and the other dishes were well enjoyed too... my father got a burger (I know, not very Mexican) and my daughter got the chicken fingers. Both their plates were empty. Service was great and attentive and the ambience in the restaurant was warm and festive. It is hard to believe this used to be a pizza joint!

I finally found the right time to try this place, being in the mood for a dine-in Mexican dinner…read more It's a nice place with pleasant servers, and kudos to the guy who filled my water 3 times. I was torn between a chicken mole dinner or just good old tacos. I opted for the tacos Al pastor with rice and beans. I have had Al pastor at many, many places, and it's been interesting to see people's takes on the recipes. These were, hands down, the best I've had anywhere. The meat was charred nicely, yet tender. The marinade/sauce had the perfect balance between the sweetness of the pineapple and the counterbalance of the lime, cilantro, and onion. I was so proud of my selection, that I ordered some to-go for my daughter to try. I also had a delicious strawberry margarita and finished off with a tres leches dessert. Everything was superb! I'll be back for that mole someday, and will also try their Taco Tuesday. Judging from my food, as well as the presentations of others choices that I noticed, I believe their chef is seriously talented and creative.
