    Passion fruit margarita and the burrito ahogado with al pastor. It was amazing!!
    Malerie C.

    I walked in around 1pm on a Wednesday and was seated immediately. The server was really kind and attentive. The inside looked nice too! There was a loaded menu and everything sounded good. After reading the lunch menu and the regular menu, I got the burrito ahogado with al pastor and 1/2 green sauce 1/2 red sauce. It might be one of the best wet burritos I've ever had. I think I preferred the green sauce, but both tasted great. I don't live in the area to visit often, but I will definitely come back again when in the East Bay!

    Chips and salsa (free and free refills)
    North S.

    Tequila grill Super burrito: choice of meat, I asked their recommendation and it was steak. Wait time wasnt too long. It was a huge burrito cut in half to be presentable with green sauce on side. I personally dont need it to be that pretty but I dont mind as long as its good. It was good. The steak was chewy but not too chewy, tortillas was slightly thicker and chewier than my experience with burritos still good. Even got cheese pulls Chips and salsa: all you can eat chips and salsa as always. Its not a true mexican place without free chips and salsa. Delicious, they got white and black chips. Black is slightly chewier than white chips. Slightly spicy but still tailored towards a broader demographic (wasnt that spicy). U can ask for refills ofc. Extra Came in, at tuesday 2pm. Such a big restaurant lots of empty chairs but got like 2-3 parties eating at booths Come in, option of booth or tables, I chose booth (couch with table connected to wall) I asked for water, water had ice, I asked for straw and she already had it on hand ha ha. The menus on this yelp are pretty outdated, Sorry no pic of menu, from memory, most of the foods are above 20$ each. They had a small menu (which is where burrito is) and those seemed cheaper. Tacos for 5$, burritos around 15-19$ Take out box was a circular tin foil pie shaped box with a lid. Once u pack it up, u bend the sides so the lid doesnt come off. I had to have the waiter teach me ha ha I love burritos, this one specifically didnt wow me, actually thought the pretty presentation made me think, looks arent everything, good burrito. Chips and salsa always a plus, but also isnt a new concept either. In my reviews, 4 star is average, 5 star has to wow me, and 6 star wows me and I think back about it wanting to come back For the quality of food and the 15$ price, I give it a 4 star

    Son's enchilada combination meal. It was lacking flavor.
    Sarah S.

    Decided to give Tequila Grill another try instead of drying into the city! So glad I did! The food was so delicious! I got a ground beef taco and a side of chili edamame and my son got the kid's quesadilla! It was all amazing. I could come here just for the complimentary chips and salsa. It's some of the best in the Bay. Now, I wish they had a white queso on the menu.

    The combo plate
    Pua B.

    I came here after a long day at work hoping to have some good food . I was mistaken o got the fajitas with rib eye instead of the regular cut it was unseasoned fat not even seared. I had to put so much salt on it to even taste anything . I wanted to touch the cast iron just to even feel something. We also got the queso fundido and although we didn't get chorizo they gave us our just cheese and it was completely burnt. My partner got the combo plate with chile relleno and enchiladas the sauce was bland thin and runny. Chile relleno was dense like a brick Beans had no flavor rice was bland thin even the avocado was the pre mashed pack not even the chunky one. To say this was so disappointing would be an understatement. Our server was reallly nice but I spent a $100+ dollars and I regret it! Do not come here to eat drinks looked good though - also table was super sticky - eeeeeewwwww

    Passion fruit margarita
    Randy B.

    Every time I come here I feel they have updated and renovated the restaurant, it has gotten modern and more well put together each time. The waitress was very attentive and also very kind when we had made an order mistake. She allowed us to exchange our order no issues whatsoever. I ordered a burrito which was absolutely delicious. A perfect amount of each ingredient, and the salsa was tangy and flavorful. I got a passion fruit margarita, which was pretty strong, but still tasty. They keep getting better and better!

    Seafood enchilada
    Nancy P.

    Delicious Mexican food and seafood. Amazing drinks , all the tequila you could think of. The service was great. Definitely recommend. Best shrimp fajitas I've ever had. The salsa had so much flavor, I highly recommend.

    I ordered a burrito. The restaurant wasn't crowded but It took a little bit over 25min. Other than the slowness, the burrito was great. I would recommend if you are not in a rush. The burrito was a good size as well. Big.

    We DD our usual and let me tell you we enjoyed yet another fave dinner. Steak Nacos with Guac and beans on the side - was fire!

    Agua Chile Verde
    Claudia A.

    It's more like 3.9 stars, not 4, but definitely not 3 stars. Service is great, the employees care about tending to you. Love the music they play in the background. Someone likes Christian Nodal, haha. The food is alright. My boyfriend enjoyed their agua chile, but I found the chicken they used in their mole enchiladas didn't go well with their mole. It just didn't taste right together. The presentation of the food is beautiful, but don't get the enchiladas.

    Me at the Tequila bar

    My favorite place to eat family friendly. The food is A1 and they have happy hour from 2pm until 6pm.

    Great spot to have a drink , after work . Food was delicious definitely recommend the enchiladas .

    We recently visited the Tequila Bar & Grill in Dublin, and this weekend we thought we'd try their San Leandro location. We were not disappointed! Of course we loaded up on oysters - both raw and cooked. Same cooked oyster flavor options as the Dublin location, and at Ocean Oyster Bar & Grill in Union City, their sister restaurant. So yummy. I really think if I had to pick just one food to live on for the rest of my life, it would be oysters, lol. Service was excellent. Very friendly, enthusiastic, attentive staff, so refreshing to see. Luis took great care of us! Great vibe all around, with happy customers too. Nice, spacious restaurant, this would be a good place to host a party. We will return.

I just went here over the weekend and now can say the place is great! The cocktail menu is pretty diverse (I had a sour which I enjoyed) and I like the wide assortment of beers (they also offer pitchers, which you don't find often outside of sports bars, which this isn't). It has plenty of space inside and some outdoor seating. What really made it fun for me was that even though it was quite busy inside, you could still sit at the bar and have a normal tone of conversation, even with the music and other conversations in the bar going on. Not sure how they pulled that off, but it was really cool. The parking is tight; a lot of it is either 15 minute or 2 hours; and some is designated for the restaurant/liquor store nearby. However, if you're patient enough, you should be able to find free street parking. There's an extremely limited food menu but they do offer BYOF (bring your own food), even though there's not much around to pick up on your way in (obviously DoorDash will offer more opportunities). It's a pretty classy place, so I think would be great for a night out with friends or even a date. I'll certainly be back to try the other libations.

I heard this is the oldest bar in San Leandro, and honestly, I'm amazed it's still standing. Must be sheer luck or nostalgia, because it's definitely not management. Two stars because I don't hate the regulars--but let's be real, if this place wants to survive, it needs way more than an Instagram and a prayer.

We noticed two open seats at the bar and asked if we could sit there. She said the bar was first come, first serve..yet moments later, she seated two walk-ins who had been behind us in line at those exact seats. The inconsistency and lack of hospitality made us feel completely disrespected. We were excited to finally get in, but ultimately decided to leave. Such a bummer!!
