Okay; I'm convinced this spot is a hidden gem! Great portion sizes and prices. Each week night they do a special. Thursdays are BOGO margaritas. Staff was kind, and food was flavorful! You definitely get lots of food for what you pay for. They also have 2 different birria items on the menu; birria tacos and a birria quesadilla.

It was getting late a few weeks ago and we decided to give Tequila Jalisco a try. We arrived and were seated pretty quickly since it was towards the tail end of the dinner rush. It was a mostly relaxed atmosphere when we got there but they were playing a bunch of distracting music videos. We ordered a couple of drinks, two margaritas: one mango one passion fruit. But we tried each other's drinks and to be honest we couldn't tell the difference between the two since they tasted identical. Our waitress, who was nice and did a good job, brought over some chips and salsa, which was pretty good and we ordered the more deluxe version of their guacamole. Unfortunately, we noticed the consistency of the guacamole tasted like it was prepackaged since it had that prepackaged consistency. A bit disappointing because it was 10 dollars or so. We ordered an enchilada, shrimp tacos, and I ordered the Jalisco feast. The enchilada was alright but sort of bland. The shrimp tacos came with beans and the Jalisco feast came with rice and beans. The beans were a bit salty but I didn't mind to much cause I prefer more salt than not. The shrimp tacos had plain mayo on them which was a bit odd as we both thought Chipotle mayo or something similar would have been better. The Jalisco feast was alright but half the meat was kind of dry and the steak was cut so thin, I've seen thicker pieces of cheese. The shrimp was the best part of the Jalisco feast. The slasa was hot but decent and the Pico de gallo was alright. I have to say I wasn't too impressed with this place, especially for the price. There's not too many Mexican restaurants in the immediate area so if you're really craving it, it might satisfy your craving but elsewise I wasn't the biggest fan. I struggle with the rating to give this place. I really don't care for a 5 star ratings system because I would rate this place between a 5 out of 10, which would be a 2.5 out of 5. But since I can't select 2.5 I rounded up to a 3. It wasn't bad food and the service was alright but the food wasn't anything special, generally middle of the road in terms of quality. read more

Delicious mexican food and it carries very well to go. Always packaged to keep everything warm. Everything we've had here has been enjoyable and they have generous portions. Definitely one of the better Mexican restaurants in the area. We've only eaten there in person once but when we did the service was great! read more

Tequila Jalisco Mexican Restaurant - Chimichanga - Mexican Near Me - Schenectady, New York

I am not sure why this is listed as Schenectady, when it's actually Glenville....anyway, had a nice lunch here recently. Staff was friendly with good service. Chips and salsa (always a favorite) were very good. Had soup, broth was great, chicken was a little tough. Nice entrees. Plan to return sometime. read more

The food is always fresh with a variety of taste combinations. I like the service and the overall "vibe" of the place. In a word...comfortable. read more

The food is just OK compared to other options in the area, but the staff is always really nice

Today I went there and picked up an order and brought it home. I'm not going to say this place is awful, but I'm not going to say this place is amazing. The nachos were very good so if you come for the nachos, I definitely recommend them... but the birria tacos we're very dry and I feel like for the price there wasn't enough flavor or high-quality there.. and the salsa and birria sauce wasn't that good either, and I also wasn't a big fan of the rice and beans but that's just my personal opinion. You might really like them, but I just don't... and the last thing was the tortilla soup they may have gave me the wrong soup been it was more like a chicken noodle soup without the noodles , usually when I have tortilla soup, it's more of a red color, but again that might just be the restaurant and how they make their food I don't know if it was a mistake and the soup was extremely salty, and almost inedible to me, Again this is no hate to the restaurant because they could have excellent things on the menu just like the nachos that I recommend, this is my first time trying it so there could be other things on the menu I might like so I'm definitely open to trying again. read more

I was so looking forward to their Jalisco Burrito again with cheese dip on the side. I ordered Tuesday May 4,2026. Pick up around 4pm. What a complete disappointment. At best it was half as good as the first one I ordered months prior. The restaurant wasn't even close to busy. Maybe 8 patrons at most. Carnitas was way too salty, and the burrito was made with big chunks of pork and that wasn't enjoyable eating. Shredding the meat is part of building a burrito. The cheese dip (sauce) was also chunky. Ridiculous. Big globs of congealed cheese dip with a runny thin sauce. It was as though it had been in the fridge and wasn't warmed properly. Someone there was having a bad burrito day and made sure I had a bad burrito day as well. Going to the competition next time. read more

Been here at least 3x I love it! Food/Drink: Always what you expect from a Mexican restaurant. Tacoes: I am personally not a " Mexican" fan. However, The taco is a nice crunch and always made the same. Chips: 9 out of 10 times have been hot, crispy, crunchy, and flavorful. Dinning Area: Pretty large, open, quiet. Prices: Relatively cheap. Parking: Plenty of space, open type lot. Bathrooms: Bathrooms were clean and medium in size. Atmosphere: Chill, not to busy. Staff/Attendants: Decent people, minimal interactions. Food made correct...a huge plus. 7/10 read more

Good food and pleasant atmosphere. Take out or eat in.... Enjoyed both options. It is obviously a great place to meet up with friends. read more

Unfortunately this was a sadder experience than I had hoped for after reading many good reviews. We came here late evening on a weekday so not super busy and we were starving coming from an event with not enough food for the whole crew. So needless to say I wanted to order everything with everything on it! They brought out waters and fresh chips and salsa right away. It was good and really fresh, the chips had just came out of the fryer all toasty. Now there are two choices for guacamole on the menu. One just says guacamole and other says house made for an additional $3. We excitedly ordered the house made and promptly realized it wasn't house made. What is was, was prepackaged avocado mixture like the kind you get at the grocery store with fresh vegetables mixed in. It was pretty bland. No spices or any heat. So yeah, just order the regular guacamole. You aren't missing anything. I ordered the shrimp tacos and requested the addition of pineapple. This is definitely a pro-tip that I suggest you try! That being said my tacos were good, the shrimp were cooked perfectly. My only complaint with mine would be a general one. Why are you squirting plain mayo on tacos guys? AT LEAST make it Sriracha mayo or something. Food need's flavor, and in my opinion the more interesting the better! The margaritas that we ordered were huge! Definitely a plus here and a decent value for money, though I could not discern the difference between the passion fruit one and the mango one. The real disappointment came with everything else. Don't order the Jalisco feast, just don't do it to yourself. It's $27 for super salty jerky beef and pork of which parts were legitimately burnt. If we weren't starving I would have sent it back. The shrimp were again perfectly cooked and the grilled scallions were a nice fresh flavorful touch after that salt bomb. Now guys, I LOVE salt! It is the greatest! So when I say something is salty, think The Dead Sea in the Middle East. I mean yikes. The service was fine and our waitress was cute. The restaurant is clean and what you would expect for ambience. I would not say I would not come back here but I would not order a bunch of items ever again. I recently found great Authentic Mexican food over at Mi Mexican Lindo in Clifton Park so go and give them a try! read more

Tequila Jalisco Mexican Restaurant is a small Mexican restaurant, but the food is on point, the service is friendly, and despite that it is a smaller restaurant, it does have a pleasant enough ambiance and vibe. I went with a burrito and it did not disappoint. The menu at Tequila Jalisco Mexican Restaurant does not stray far from the usual menu items found on every Mexican restaurant across the nation, but that is not a bad thing. Tequila Jalisco Mexican Restaurant is a solid choice if you are in the Schenectady, New York area and looking for a nice Mexican meal. read more

Today was the first time we tried this restaurant and I have to say my friend and I thought it was outstanding. Everything we got was delicious. We had the chicken and steak fajitas. Both dishes were very good. We favored the steak a little better. It was the best guacamole and refried beans we ever had. Our waitress Vanessa was so accommodating and lovely. read more

The food here is excellent. The people working there are excellent. I can't rave enough about the food. It is like someone making you a home cooked Mexican meal. I always get the chicken fajita dinner. So much food for the price. I could honestly eat this food 3 times a week. I always get it take out. Everything packed well and still hot when I get home. I am so happy we have a high quality restaurant in glenville. read more

Tried this place last week. We sat ourselves, the service was quick and friendly. Cute and clean restaurant. I got the tacos Al pastor dinner, and my husband had chicken enchiladas verdes. Both were really good and super fresh. The tacos were higher priced but had a lot of filling, plus it came with beans and rice which basically made it two meals. He also had a peach margarita and liked it. Great little restaurant! read more

Been here a number of times and never had a bad experience! The service is always great, very nice people work here :) My favorite dish is the Pollo Fundido, chicken, veg, rice, and love! I swear this dish always feels like a hug. read more

This is my pick when I want Mexican every time. I've never been disappointed. I'm so glad they opened so close by.

So far just okay since I only did takeout, but my takeout order was ready when I got there the chips were still hot and very very good (though for most will need additional salt). The takeout guac was excellent, well flavored and enough lime to keep it green for awhile. I didn't like the bean and cheese dip as much. Will return for a more thorough review of the service and dinner options! read more

Went here with my Grandparents for my Grandma's 76th birthday, the food was amazing! Was a little bit on the pricey side, but it wasn't too bad, around the $20 mark for just about everything on the menu. The service was quick and helpful, and the music was good. The furniture was very pretty, but tough to be comfortable in, the table was very wobbly and the chairs were stiff, but you don't go to a restaurant to judge furniture! Hahaha! Overall, I will definitely be going back, great food! read more

Service was excellent. Chips and salsa were good. I enjoyed the soup. My husband had the enchiladas. They were full of meat. We definitely will be back. read more

I should have know that we wouldn't care for it because we don't care for their other location. The salsa is bland, the chips were nothing special. I know that the location is newer, but the staff was very slow to even acknowledge that we were waiting at the door (there is no sign that says whether you seat or self or wait to be seated), let alone service our table. The chairs were wildly uncomfortable and husband was disappointed that they don't have fountain drinks. Husband got the enchilada plate and the portion was small and nothing special. I got the Burrito Texano. It was a good size, but it was mostly just the meat and potatoes, not the other items like creme fresh that were supposed to be in it. Some of the meat was too fatty to eat and it just didn't have any flavor. Husband thought that the french fries were not pre-cooked when they went in the burrito. They for sure were not crunchy, like I prefer. It's nice that Glenville has a Mexican option and I know some people will really like it but we won't be back so there will be more room for them. read more

Tried this place out tonight with family and had a great experience. Super clean inside and very friendly, attentive staff!! All of our food tasted fresh, portions were great. Was it the best mexican I've ever had? Probably not, but I'd still say this place is worth a try! read more

Great food, went for cinco de mayo with a friend who doesn't like Mexican she loved her meal to and wants to go weekly!

As close to a Mexican fiesta as you can get this far from the border! Excellent service, well appointed interior with farm to table fresh food. Authentic cuisine that reminded me of the wonderful meals I've enjoyed throughout Mexico. Contrary to a previous post we were seated immediately and attended by a courteous and attentive waitress. We will definitely be returning! read more

The food was some of the best Mexican food I've had since leaving California. The service by Roberta was friendly and she helped me modify my fajita order to my liking.

$14 house marg would be tolerable if it was made with fresh sour mix, that bottled sour mix was disappointing to me

We were unaware they still don't have a liquor license. Difficult to find, no sign yet. Waitress came pretty quickly. Chips come to the table and salsa. The salsa was not only bland, it had a strange flavor to it. Food came fairly quick. Sizzling vegetable fajita, not even a little sizzle and the vegetables were overcooked. Rice had no flavor, refried beans were soupy and bland. The waitress never came back after bringing the food. We sat and waited for ever for our bill. Wont be back. read more

Food was great and servers were friendly. This will be a new staple of places to go in Glenville that was needed.
