Mr. Tequila (along with Mr. Taco) catered our daughter's graduation party. We had over 80 people attend, and let's just say Mr. tequila was well over five stars!! These guys showed up early, set up with a smile, and showed loved and hospitality to our friends and family. The customer service was over the moon, and most of all the margaritas and food - absolutely delicious! We will most definitely use Mr. Tequila again! We cannot say enough good things about these guys! Thank you, Mr. Tequila ( and Mr. Taco!) read more

You can just order them if you like. They have a much time lunch put I have never made it there. The Mai's dishes are large and enough for two. read more

These birria tacos are some of the best I've ever had. The beef is so tender and flavorful with melted cheese, fresh cilantro and white onions in a flour tortilla dipped in the delicious consommé and fried. Only on the menu on Wednesdays, these tacos would be the end of me if I could have them 7 days a week. A coworker picked them up for me so I can't speak towards the service or ambiance. Is it next Wednesday yet? read more

Well I've finally made my way over here and to be honest I'm not impressed! The food was below mediocre. I spent $102 on nothing basically. Then they have 16% or 18% gratuity automatically! Mind you it was only 2 people! We went on a Tuesday evening also. I ordered a mango margarita frozen which was super sweet bc of all the mango flavor. My partner ordered a classic margarita on the rocks and it tasted like water! Absolutely no flavor!! Yes i sent it back and the waiter seemed surprised like "no flavor". I ordered a steak quesadilla dinner that came with 2 sides and 2 small and I mean small pieces of quesadilla. She ordered the nachos that came with steak. I also order a small queso which he forgot to bring. So I ended up telling him about that. Absolutely no napkins on the table or no silverware. Then when the waiter realized we didnt have anything he brought 2 napkins to the table. 2!! No this place wasn't packed it was empty, a child running around the restaurant. My 1st time and last definitely won't be back. I didnt eat anything worth $102 there, sorry! So try them out if you want but Noodle don't recommend it. I have pictures that I will attach. read more

Just discovered Mr Tequila while exploring Freret Street and I was impressed! We wondered in after 6pm on a weekday and quickly found a seat at the bar as happy hour was kicking off. As we ordered other locals also arrived seeking their favorite tables. On this visit, we kept it simple and ordered drinks and several appetizers to share. We enjoyed Queso, Tamales and LOADED Chicken Fajitas Nachos that defied expectations in every way. Serious we loved these Fajita Nachos so much we plan to visit again just for another taste. Hopefully next time we visit Mr. Tequila we will try more of the menu, but from what we had a taste of we have fallen in love with this place and recommend for couples seeking a date night and small group get togethers. read more

Mr. Tequila Authentic Mexican Cuisine is a cool spot located on the popular Freret Street corridor noted for their Mexican food and drinks. This New Orleans restaurant has become noted for their tequila offerings especially for their impressive tequila tower option which has gotten quite popular as it serves a lot of margarita in a nifty tube dispenser that sits on your table. The one negative I found about this spot is they do have really bright lights inside. Mr. Tequila is also noted for offering different specials each day of the week and offers some of the best Mexican food deals around. Mr. Tequila is one of New Orleans newest Mexican food restaurants as they just opened in 2020 and they have quickly become one of the most popular Mexican food establishments in the Freret Street neighborhood as they have great lunch specials and offer fun happy hours which has helped make them one of the most popular Mexican restaurants in the Greater New Orleans area. My video review of Mr. Tequila is here: https://youtu.be/vM39WWLxg0k read more

If you want to eat at a place where the manager yells at you. You've found the right place. Order a delivery order and had a promotion for buy one Get on free. After the oder was paid for, it magically wasn't available anymore. After trying to nicely speak with him about it. He yelled at us and said we wouldn't be get the food we ordered and then hangs up on us. Definitely will never oder here again. read more

One of many restaurants on Freret that I have been meaning to try. My friend and I decided on this place bc we both love great tacos. One of our other friends told us this place had "decent" tacos but we decided to go anyway. Lol Wasn't very crowded but the service was soooo SLOW. I mean snails pace..guacamole was good. We ordered frozen mango margaritas. The waiter dropped off 2 obviously melted drinks. Not sure why he thought this was ok. It was very apparent these were not frozen yet. Had to send them back..he wasn't apologetic. Just brought us new ones quite a while later. Tacos, rice and beans were good, but not redeeming enough for a return visit. Sorry to say. read more

Came here on Mardi Gras Tuesday and got seated after a short wait with a group of 10! The servers were really nice and we got a ton of free salsa and nachos to munch on as our food came. Good: I really liked my taco salad as well as the enchilada trio that I shared with my friend - the flavor is really good and portion sizes are huge here so we didn't finish what we got in the end. The margarita tower was also super large and a good value - we got 2 of them for our group of 10 and the mango and king cake flavors were my favorites. Bad: The food arrives pretty slowly so you'll have to wait some time for your food to get there. I thought the queso was just alright from my perspective. Overall I really enjoyed my experience and would come again! It's a fun casual vibe so not super fancy but the food is cheaper than some fancier establishments around it. read more

This review is based on the lunch we have at this place. They do have some lunch specials fromm 11 to 3pm which are affordable. We got a chicken quesadilla lunch which included a medium size quesadilla, rice and refried beans plus Pico. It was super tasty and the right amount of food for lunch. The lunch itself was $13 which wasn't bad. They give you free chips with salsa and I must say they were pretty good! We have been to other Mexican restaurants and the chips are not usually fresh. For free chips they were pretty awesome. We also order some churros for dessert which comes in a set of 4 churros, ice cream and caramel sauce. The combo was pretty good. Would I recommend this place again, absolutely! read more

Restaurant does not live up to its name. There is absolutely no alcohol in the margarita.

Nice atmosphere and the food was great... Margaritas very tasty. Service was great and friendly.

Very good Mexican food! The queso dip passed my taste test. Enough spice and not watered down. I went with a friend who is a regular there so we had great service. Casual comfortable location on Freret. read more

Mr. Tequila did not disappoint for Cinco de Mayo! Margaritas were on point. Tried their chimichanga that was delicious! It was topped with white cheese sauce, I added salsa, guac, and sour cream, so good! Comes with rice and beans that I devoured while hot. They seem to give you a 25% off $35 every check-in that came in handy. Cinco de Mayo Goodies: Free shots, free cowboy hat, and free t-shirt. I will say it was a great Cinco de Mayo! The staff was awesome, keeping up the the crowd and not rushing you to free up a table. read more

Found my new Taco Tuesday spot. Great place with great deals. Happy hour is from 3:00-6:00 so perfect for after work. Margaritas are only $4 during happy hour. Also, I recommend going on Tuesdays when tacos are only $1, yes you read that right $1 tacos. You must order five to get the deal but 5 $1 tacos, who can beat that?! And the tacos are very good! The staff is friendly and knowledge on the menu. Food was out within minutes of ordering so you will not have to wait long if you're hungry. Great location on Freret St but be prepared to pay a meter for parking or park on an off street. Make sure you checkin on Yelp for 25% off deal when you spend $35 (alcohol excluded) read more

I was excited to eat at Mr. Tequila's. It's located in the Freret corridor, which is abuzz. The decor and seating were generic and unimaginative. The food too. There were a few issues with my first (and likely last) visit: 1. Improper wearing of mask (below the nose). The waitress approached our table with her nose in plain view. I motioned for her to put her mask in place but it was clearly too slack to stay put. Unacceptable. In food service, it is incumbent upon those serving food and interacting with customers to be vigilant with masking up. #Fail 2. Attention to detail. We each ordered Margaritas - 1 frozen, 1 on the rocks, both WITH SALT. Of note, the waitress was also the bartender, which was not optimal since we were seated at a table - and not at the busy bar. Not only did she bring both margaritas without salt but she offered to pour salt into the drinks to remedy her mistake. #Fail. I asked her to please bring two salted glasses back, which she did, reluctantly. The second round was the same order with the exact same result - no salt. Thankfully, a different waiter saw this unfolding and he resolved the issue. Overall, the margaritas were just too sweet, with the smallest kick. 3. The food was average. The chips and salsa were ok but the nachos tasted weird - like they were fried in old oil. I ordered their carnitas hard tacos (3). It was absolutely the most bland pork that I've ever eaten. EVER. Aside from a garnish of cheese and iceberg lettuce, there was nothing more to the tacos. When I asked for hot sauce, the waitress initially said they didn't have any. (?) I was shocked and proceeded to name options, like Louisiana, Tabasco, Cholula, or any other variety. Finally, the gentleman who fixed the margaritas emerged from the kitchen with a brand new bottle of hot sauce. When he attempted to hand me the whole bottle, I said to please just put a small amount in a disposable cup because...COVID. In any case, there was no saving those tacos from Bland town. Final verdict: This is the perfect place for students (not looking for quality cuisine) to grab food and keep it moving. You can eat cheaply at Mr. Tequila. If you're in any other category... hard pass on this new spot. read more

While checking out taco Tuesday deals here on Yelp I found Mr. Tequila! He's cute or whatever (joking lmbo). But they have one of the best taco Tuesday deals I've seen yet. My sister and I went after work. There's street parking on freret so you understand how that can be. At the time we went in we'd immediately be seated in this decent sized restaurant. We were pleasantly greeted and ordered some margaritas...it was happy hour so we had a few each. You can tell they used a margarita mix as it was super green and tasted like a mix...it was still good and after 3 I had a little buzz. We ordered queso for an appetizer...it was really creamy and it stayed creamy even as it cooled. I hate when quesos get all thick and clumpy so this one passed my test. The service was super fast too. The taco deal was 5 for $7.50, I got shredded chicken, chorizo, grilled chicken, shrimp, and ground beef. The chorizo tasted kinda fatty and wasn't as flavorful as I expected. It had oil pouring from it. The grilled chicken, beef, and shrimp were pretty good. My favorite was the shredded chicken! The jalapeño sauce on the side was the perfect kick. The tab was very reasonable. I'll definitely visit again to try something different. read more

We heard of a new hispanic restaurant opening on Freret and were estatic to try this place! the restaurant was spaced out for covid concerns and looked great. we ordered the nacho fries which were the best thing on their menu besides the margaritas. they have the freshest margaritas we have had. the skinny margarita and the Mr. Tequila Margarita are highlights that should be indulged upon. the entrees, however, fell flat. My fiancee ordered the carnitas that was bland. I ordered the speedy gonzales that also tasted bland. overall, this is a nice edition for a margarita pitstop but the food doesn't live to the hype. read more

We were in town and decided to try some Mexican food. Glad we did. Excuse this place didn't disappoint!! The flavors!!!!! Oh that was the best part.

Ceviche was exactly what we needed and they have lunch menus. The drink!! The drinks!! Lol so well mixed and nowhere was overpowering.

Mr. Tequila first caught my eye when I caught a glimpse of the sign driving by and thought, "Plankton is opening a restaurant in my neighborhood? Shouldn't it be called 'The Chum Bucket'? And why does he have two eyes?" I looped around the block and realized that no, that wasn't SpongeBob's little friend and erstwhile employer on the sign, but rather a jalapeño pepper greeting me with open arms. "Ok, I'll bite," I thought, and now months later our gang of three walked over for dinner. This was a Goldilocks experience: for Mother, not good at all, for Baby (actually in high school), the "quesadilla was good, but I did not like the guacamole"; and Father (me) enjoyed the fajitas and the margarita in the giant glass. Mother found the guacamole repellent and actually had it taken away, but only after the other two had eaten about a third. We all agreed it had a strange taste. Mother said "it turnt", but what I tasted was strangely reminiscent of egg salad (sounds gross, but was actually interesting, to me; what gave it that quality, I wondered?), and those who know Mother understand her lifelong inability to get near eggs or anything reminding her of eggs. Baby did not like the guacamole, and Father thought it was ok, save for the strange taste, and was planning to put it on his fajitas until Mother had it taken away. (Boo.) I noted that wasn't much guacamole for seven bucks, about one cup in volume. The combo fajitas were well-seasoned, a generous mixture of steak, shrimp, and chicken. (I considered the mushroom, and I wish I'd asked whether I could do the combo with mushroom in place of one of the meats). The side platter had proper refried beans, rice, and dollops of pico, sour cream, and that guac. Mother's enchiladas were nicely textured but came with a dark sauce that reminded her of bbq. She "did not care for that". Baby's quesadilla was on target and fully consumed, which is her seal of approval. The one item all agreed on was the chips & salsa: chips being warm and crisp, the salsa bearing a nice kick. Mother noted the margarita did not seem to have enough alcohol to make it interesting, and Father agreed, maybe; it seemed fine to him before she said that. Suddenly it did seem to him a little weak and sweet--maybe it was, or maybe it was the power of suggestion. Suffice to say he enjoyed it and got a go-cup to finish it off at home. After all, this was a happy hour special and not top-shelf. Mr. Tequila took over a space that had been occupied by two previous restaurants (Freret Beer Room being one of them) that I had intended to try. Alas, those succumbed to COVID19 or hurricanes or just not being all that popular before I could set foot inside. I expect Mr. Tequila to last, though, based on the full house that was dining that evening. Special shout-out to the web site designers, those photo and video sequences make me want to go back, especially to try the taco Tuesday specials. I probably will, but leave Mother and Baby back in the den. Atmosphere was friendly and genuinely welcoming, and the service was prompt. As soon as Mother brought up the (her) guac issue, our server picked it right up and took it off our bill without further question. As for ratings, Mother probably would be down around 1 - 2 stars (never again), Baby around 3-4 stars (ehh, ok), and Father puts it at four stars, but acknowledging the other two brings me to 3. Those street tacos really do look good, though, so maybe I'll revisit both the restaurant and this rating in due time. read more

Well, we weren't here for the longest time, but it was a great time. We sat at the bar which was like the fastest service ever. We came for taco tuesday about 4:45 maybe and it was very busy already. The deal for taco tuesday is if you buy 5 tacos, they will be $1.50 a piece making it about $7.50 for five. They also had drink specials but I didn't get anything. They serve you complimentary chips and salsa which is RARE in the city of NOLA. We ordered the small queso which is enough for about 3 people. Then I did the street tacos with al pastor, steak and barbacoa. Yall....do not skip this barbacoa. It was the best one I had! 10/10 would recommend all five tacos with barbacoa. I was instant regret when I only got one. read more

Might be my new favorite spot for tacos on a Tuesday. They are so good. I had the al pastor tacos and shredded chicken. The tacos were very seasoned. Also the wait wasn't long at all for the food. For my 5 tacos (including a side of salsa verde and guacamole) I paid 9.75 (before taxes). It's not the CHEAPEST food deal on a taco Tuesday but it's definitely not the most expensive so worth it I'd say. It's a nice quaint little place with very nice/kind waitresses and waiters. Some of the deals that are currently on Yelp might not be the same as what's online though. We looked them up before we got here and a few things were different but it didn't take away from the experience again. Probably still be back soon with more friends!!! read more

Mr. Tequila on Freret Street is a Mexican restaurant that has tasty food and cocktails to satisfy your craving. Some popular menu favorites include Traditional Fajitas ($11.50), a savory blend of grilled bell peppers, onions, and a choice of rice, refried beans, sour cream, lettuce, pico de gallo, guacamole, and tortillas; Freret Burrito ($14.25), a steak or grilled chicken burrito filled with rice, beans, pico de gallo, and guacamole with a side of fries; and Nacho Fries ($10.95) topped with steak, cheese, pico de gallo, guacamole and sour cream. On my visit, I had the Black and Gold Burrito ($12.25), which the menu describes as a burrito filled with ground beef or shredded chicken, rice, beans, topped with chile con carne and white cheese dip. I got mine with shredded chicken and chile con carne on the side. It was a great size for the price; the chili con carne and cheese dip were the perfect touch. With great food and great service, I will definitely be back! I wrote about this spot for Uptown Messenger.

Mr. Tequila NOLA Taco Tuesday is always an adventure. Street tacos are one of the most common style tacos specifically made for street travelers. They are known to be a quick meal and are made quite simple: two corn tortillas, your choice of protein, cilantro, and onion. One rainy day for lunch on a Tuesday, I looked for tacos. I went right to Feret St. to @mr.tequilanola because on Tuesdays their street tacos are $1.00. I first started with queso, which I loved because it was very creamy! However, I did not care for the tacos. I ordered one of each and took one bite of each. None of them seemed to wow me. I even ordered the shrimp taco, which was $3.00 and it was just ok. The two shrimp that were on there could have been added to the 1.00 taco list because there was not much of a difference between it and the others. The service was good, but it was freezing in the building. I hate being wet and cold. I asked the server if they could adjust the temperature, and the waiter stated others requested it as well, but the bartender refused. Overall read more

We have been wanting to go since they opened but times being what they are we did not venture out. Finally this weekend we went and we were so happy we did. The food was amazing. Johnny was our server( he also part owner but gave staff some time off so he was filling in.) He could not have been nicer. I had enchiladas supreme and my husband the tacos del mar. We are both super happy. They were social distancing and all had masks. All rules were being followed. We felt very safe. We are not big tequila drinkers but their selection looked pretty impressive Will definitely go again. read more
