Where do I start. The food is absolutely amazing. Everything tastes fresh and you can tell by the attention to detail that they take pride in making their entrees. They go above and beyond to recognize my food allergy to red onions. Guacamole is made fresh. They even made it for me with white onions due to my allergy. This is bougie authentic Mexican not TexMex!!! The service is above and beyond. The wait staff are super friendly, very attentive. They treat every customer like a VIP. The ambiance is just beautiful. The decor is just lovely this restaurant is spotless! I was never a real fan of Mexican food until we tried this restaurant. Now we go every Friday like clockwork and sit at our favorite table. Take the time to read these reviews and make a decision for yourself after you've dined at this fine establishment. read more

The service at Tequila Cocina Comida Mexicana was good, but I order the ceviche and have ordered that at a lot of different restaurant's. The ceviche came out as a tomato soup almost with seafood in it. Usually I eat ceviche on a chip of some sort, but they brought a spoon with this one. It was just weird and didn't taste that great. The dining area was clean and welcoming. Mostly street parking for this location but there are area parking lots you can find to park at as well. read more

We loved going to this place!! The meals were traditional Mexican recipes and not Tex-Mex like most places in the area. Unfortunately, it is permanently closed. read more

We went at an off time, however, that shouldn't matter. Our server lacked greatly in personality. He seemed to be over it. We ordered the queso blanco fundido. It was flavorless. They gave us 3 tortillas for that whole thing and never asked if we wanted more and we couldn't find him to ask. My boyfriend got the chicken enchiladas. They were tasteless. I ordered the shrimp and crab stuffed enchilada which was also tasteless. Our server didn't care. Never gave us more water. For the price you expect a little flavor. It was very bleak inside. Not the best vibe and definitely not the best food. I don't know where to tell anyone where to go as far as Mexican restaurants in Midlothian. Good luck! read more

My wife and I had some amazing ceviche and a couple of delicious drinks here. Safe to say--we found a new spot for the Hernandez family. We'll definitely be back for her birthday read more

This was not where we planned to dine, but when it's the 4th, you take what is open. I saw the low ratings and negative reviews so I did not have high expectations. The restaurant is nicely decorated and has a inviting bar area. Chips and salsa were good, but when the server offered hotter salsa we accepted. The green salsa is delicious but eventually starts a nice burn. The orange salsa punches you right in the face and is not for the faint of heart, but is also tasty. My table had street tacos, chicken taco salad, and queso Blanco chicken enchiladas. All the dishes were good. This is not standard Tex-Mex but more traditional Mexico style. My chicken enchiladas were wonderful and spicy. Only negative is the few shreds of cheddar cheese are unnecessary. Beans and rice on point. Refreshing house margarita is worth the $10. Definitely a place I'll return too. read more

Service was great The ambiance was great! The chicken tasted like is was sautéed and soy sauce. It was supposed to be fajita chicken. The rice & beans had no flavor. read more

The service and the atmosphere were a step above your average Mexican restaurant, which was a nice surprise. But the food was five stars. I was shocked and excited to see that they had chili Colorado on the menu and the Birria tacos were so delicious. read more

Good food, but a little expensive for what you get. We had the birria tacos and the chili verde. According to the guys, the chili verde was alright and I thought the birria was decent. Good chips and salsa. Great service! read more

This restaurant deserves better reviews than have been posted on Yelp. Maybe competitors made those posts? We almost didn't try it due to the 2.5 star rating we saw the week of July 7, 2025, but two 5-star reviews in the past week convinced us to give it a go. The decor is fantastic, much nicer than the previous restaurant that occupied this space (which we also enjoyed). Thoughtful attention to decorative details, not annoying at all. We were seated quickly, and our server Mitchell took great care of us, answering our questions, guiding us on choices based on our input, and quickly delivering our drinks. From other reviews we knew to ask for the "hotter" salsas, which were brought complimentarily. Both were fantastic in their own ways, and inspired us to ask Mitchell to "go ahead and bring us the guacamole" we'd previously declined. That and a margarita helped control the heat nicely, making for an enjoyable experience. We tried the Chile Colorado with white corn tortillas, and the fried shrimp tacos. Both meals were outstanding. Before our check was delivered, a manager stopped by to visit and ensure our visit was expected. Nice touch! We'll be back!! read more

My wife and I dined at Tequila Cocina today, and we were impressed after hesitating due to some negative online reviews. A friend mentioned they enjoyed it and found it good, which encouraged us to give it a try--and we're glad we did! This is one of the best dining spots in Midlothian. The interior is modern and inviting, easily among the nicest in town. The waitstaff was exceptionally friendly, offering attentive service and helpful menu suggestions. I ordered the Chile Colorado, a standout with its rich, savory flavors and tender beef. My wife's Chile Relleno de Mariscos was delicious, and interestingly used a charred pepper rather than battered. The table salsa was too mild for my taste, lacking heat, but when I requested something spicier, Abigail , our waitress, brought two vibrant options: a fiery green salsa with a tangy bite and an orange one with smoky, intense heat. Both were outstanding! I'm puzzled by the negative reviews, some of which feel like they could be from competitors rather than genuine diners. Our experience was stellar, i like it better than other local spots like Mi Casa and Jalapeño Lemon Pepper. If you're in Midlothian, visit Tequila Cocina, try the Chile Colorado and ask for their spicy salsas! read more

My family was so excited to try a new restaurant but it was sadly disappointing. With so many great Mexican restaurants in town, you have to be exceptional to get customers back. We won't be back. The place is beautiful, the service was nice but the food was below average. I also had to pay an extra $3 for a tiny blob of sour cream for my fajitas and $2 for an even smaller amount of cheese. So $29 for below average fajitas doesn't work for me (I won't mention the gross, thick, instant powder queso...oops). Not when Mi Casa is right next door! read more

Myself and two sisters and a friend ate here on a Saturday afternoon. The service was excellent, the decor was beautiful, the presentation of the food looked very appetizing, I started off with a small appetizer, which was bland at that point I was hoping the entrees would be better so I tried the fajita trio of beef,chicken, and shrimp the shrimp were small salad shrimp, the beef was bland and tough, the chicken was flavorless for $28.00 I had high expectations, secondly I tried the chicken enchiladas and the same applied bland and flavorless. Third I tried the Flan for desert I am pretty sure the Flan came from a vendor because it was delicious. I do not recommend if you want a flavorful meal with decent prices by pass this place. I will not return. Food: Bland and flavorless Pricing: Entirely to Expensive read more

Food was bland. My piña colada tasted like a virgin drink. The waitress spilled salsa on my shirt. No desire for them to make this right. Very poor service from the manager. read more

We were really looking forward to trying the new restaurant that replaced one of our favorite places, Campuzano's. We walked inside to a lovely, freshly decorated space. Great look. I wish I could say the food was as great as the new look. We were very disappointed. The Mahi Mahi tacos were flavorless. The salsa was...not salsa. The queso sauce over the enchiladas was gritty - obviously made from powdered cheese. Big NO. When asked if we could have two separate kinds of enchiladas on the enchilada plate we were told they couldn't. Both enchiladas had to be the same. What?! Three people with a tab of $100+, tip included was way too much for the food. I hope they take these reviews and make some much needed improvements to their menu items. I really want this place to be successful. read more

I had never noticed this restaurant before but decided to try it out after finding it on Yelp. Excellent food and service at a very reasonable price. I will be back! read more

Been wanting to try this place and was hoping it would be our new go to for fajitas. Sorry to say it won't be. The restaurant is beautiful and the servers are dressed very professionally. The food needs A LOT of work - especially considering the prices. The fajita ingredients were sliced very thin, and the bottom layer was burned to the skillet. The biggest surprise was the portion of sides. A dab - maybe a teaspoon size of guac and pico not much more. No cheese no sour cream. Very small portions of beans. The tortillas were tough and only three included. No beans or sides with some of the other dishes ordered at our table. The Chile Verde was disgusting. It wasn't pork chunks it was pork mush and covered in the darkest tomatillo sauce I have ever seen. It was literally dark brown. Sorry to say this place won't last unless they make some major changes to their food quality. read more

Wasn't the best. First time here since rebranding. Pretty place. Tables had uncomfortable chairs for a fluffy girl like me, but the booth was nice. Service- they young man was nice and he was trying. My cheese enchiladas came out as chicken. Sent back and came back quickly. They were hot thankfully but the sauce lacked flavor. Maybe I caught them on a bad night. Everything needed more spice and more flavor-- this is coming from someone who just doesn't do spice much at all. Nice place, nice people- maybe a revamp of some recipes and a few more peppers to everything might help. I would love to see this place do well. read more

Do not believe the low star reviews! Just visited this place and it was great! The service was on point, the food was delicious and the environment was great for all occasions. Pay them a visit. read more

The food was bland. Not worth the price. Everything was over priced. I ordered fries for my daughter and they were not cooked, but yet another order was limp and greasy? Doesn't make sense. Go to Tio Tony's, that's real Mexican food. Unless you're the overpriced wanna go to brunch kinda person, then go ahead. This is your jam. We also waited 20 mins for a table, and our appetizer came out with the food. What's the point? read more

Went for the first and last time. We waited over 20 mins for drink refills and finally had to go ask someone else. Had to ask twice for the queso. 2 of the 3 meals came out wrong. Never got items we asked for. Out of drinks again for the rest of the meal. Talked to the manager and all he said was sorry. It was over 70.00 for 3 meals, queso and waters. The server said sorry we were so busy, all We seen him do was clean a table & that is while we were waiting on items that we never got. HORRIBLE.. we asked for owner for general manager number and we were looked at like we were dumb. read more

We went on Tuesday evening and had a great experience. They had $2 street tacos and $7 margaritas, we tried all 3 kinds. I personally enjoyed the chicken more but all 3 were good. The chips and salsa were very fresh. The salsa was tasty and the waitress brought us some hot sauces to try. The green was flavorful but the red was just hot, which she warned us. They were very good on the tacos and then the margarita was excellent. So we had to have another one. The staff was very friendly, the place was nice and clean. We had a great experience and definitely recommend for everyone to try this place out. We will definitely be going back. Got to help out local small businesses out. I hope your experience is as good as ours! read more

Your Yelp review should never begin with the phrase, "do you think they meant to cook it like that?", but my burned to a crisp flautas leave me no other option. I always like to start with the positive, so here goes. The music was really great! The fresh new decor was pretty spiffy. The hot sauce was ok, though given out very sparingly. That's about it. The Taco Salad was adequate, as long as you didn't notice the brown guacamole. But seriously, the flautas were so dark and dry that I wondered if they were actually made of chicken or mahogany. We waited a long time for this place to come to town, but what a missed opportunity! read more

Food is excellent and ambiance is so nice! They've done such a nice job with decor! The old building looks lovely!

This place is the best Mexican restaurant in Midlothian! It's not Tex-Mex. It is upscale and so is the food! I recommend the ceviche, house margaritas on the rocks, and the cheese enchiladas with ranchera sauce! read more

Absolutely amazing food and service! We tried several things on the menu and it was delicious! So excited for this place

Do not waste your time or money! Food is awful and very bland! Ordered the fajitas with shrimp! What a complete joke! They used frozen tiny shrimp! Beef and chicken very dry and had zero flavor! The hot sauce was good oh and the guacamole was disappointing and came from a package! Not real! Will not return read more

We were definitely hesitant to try due to the reviews, but glad we did! My husband and I shared the trio fajitas, which was more than enough food for two. The fajitas were tasty! The ambiance is cool - not too noisy. We also had the queso, which was fine but not worth $12.50. The food did seem pricier than it should be (lack of sides, but they do tell you on the menu if the dishes come with sides). Our server was lovely and attentive. She answered all questions and found the answers quickly when she needed to double check. Overall, we would come back! read more

The food was really good, and the service was great. I really love how everything look it was cute and trendy. The horchata was really good if I'm being honest. I'd come here again! read more

Great food and great service! I will definitely come back. I celebrated my nursing school graduation here and they made me feel so special and welcome. read more

THIS PLACE IS SUCH A VIBE!!!! The decor, the playlist, the food, the cocktails, and the service were all amazing. We ordered the queso fundido, mole enchiladas, quesobirria tacos, and had the flan for dessert. Everything was delicious. We had a coconut margarita and a mango margarita, I could definitely taste the tequila but in a good way, not too much to take away from the flavor. We will definitely be returning. read more

This was a good social spot. The food was mid and the prices were too expensive. They nickel and dime you for everything. We may return after the newness wears off. read more

we have dined here several times since Tequila Cocina has opened. Excellent atmosphere, food & service.

I would have agree with previous reviewers on all points. The restaurant is so beautiful and I would love to see it thrive but the food has some issues. The shrimp cocktail was actually outstanding so we're were excited about the rest. My street tacos were hard to eat, very dry and were just chicken on tortillas, nothing else. There is more to discuss but Without going into further detail, I just hope the owners will try to make some change fast and work to get some great reviews on yelp. read more

I was very disappointed in this restaurant Although the decor was beautiful and the service was fine, the food was bland and tasteless. The chips had no flavor & the salsa was very watery & bland. From the guacamole to the grilled chicken, everything was tasteless. my cocktail was so bad I could not drink it. This restaurant has a long way to go. I would not recommend! And it is quite pricey to boot. read more

principalmente, la comida es muy rica, el lugar es muy bonito y hablando del personal, son muy amables y atentos con el servicio.
