    Burrito Ranchero
    Dale H.

    Stopped on a Thursday around 6pm. Very busy, but I was seated immediately and was enjoying a margarita and chips with salsa before I had my coat off. The staff was very fast and very friendly. I ordered the Burrito Ranchero. The pork was tender and well seasoned, and the burrito was stuffed with all my favorites and covered in queso and verde. I left knowing that I will be back!

    Definitely worth the drive from Burlington! We have 5 Mexican restaurants down there but this one is worth the trip! The chips came out real hot and the salsa was great too. I always get the veggie fajitas when I go out so this is what stood out to me: The rice and beans were very wet but very flavorful, the tortillas were really good but I don't think they were made from scratch. I loved that they put guacamole and cilantro in the mix. None of the places in Burlington do that. The guac was really limey and delicious too. We didn't have to wait long at all for the food. The place is very spacious and there was a lot of background noise until they kicked the music on but then it was good. Be sure to check it out.

    a plate of nachos and a bowl of salsa

    I useto live in Ottumwa and this was an amazing place to eat. We ordered the "super nacho's" and added everything we could to it. It had NO flavor and hardly any chorizo or any other meat for that matter. We added hot sauce and salsa and it was still blah. I had a side of refried beans and they were bland and straight out of a can. I would highly recommend ANYWHERE else if your wanting to eat dinner, if your coming here for a decent margarita, they are pretty good. Very disappointed and will not be a return customer.

    Tequila Grill occupies a historical building called the Benson Block, built in 1924. See more information below. Mom and I were in the mood for Mexican food - or maybe it was just me! After reviewing the menu (many, many choices) we had chosen the same entree - Texan Fajitas. So - we ordered 2 lime margaritas ($4.50) and the Texan Fajita Double ($23). The wait staff were friendly and stopped by our table with perfect timing (not too often and not too infrequent). Mom ordered the frozen margarita and I ordered on the rocks. Unfortunately, they were served in plastic margarita glasses and had a bright glowing lime green color (probably from the mix) - they were refreshing. The fajitas were very good. The peppers and onions were perfectly cooked. Steak, chicken and shrimp were plentiful - we packed up more than half of it to take home. The dish of sides included rice, refried beans, shredded lettuce, diced tomato, guacamole (small portion hiding under the sour cream) and picoThe rice and beans were bland, but 3 styles of hot sauce are available at each table. Benson Block is a historic structure located at 109-112 N. Market in downtown Ottumwa, Iowa, United States. The building was built as a theatre, but because it lacked a sufficient number of exits it was never used for that purpose.[3] The façade of the Classical Revival style building is composed of terra cotta. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1] In 2016 it was included as a contributing property in the Greater Second Street Historic District.[2][4]

    The food was good. The service was quick. It was small and crowded in there. Margaritas are definitely strong and delicious!

    Food is always great! They have vegan fajitas, I find myself ordering those often. Good service and a drink special everyday.

    This was a very nice surprise. Chile poblano was excellent. Very unique building. Don't let the exterior deter your visit.
