The food was really good and the service was really good too. I'm excited to go back and try other menu items.

The food here was great. I was in town for work. Very high-quality Mexican restaurant. I had the Molcajete and it was as good as I've ever had before. Chips and salsa were nice and fresh. The service was very good. Food was very reasonably priced, I would return! read more

Food is good for your typical neighborhood Mexican restaurant, prices have gotten higher since the renovation. Service is normally a 65% good, 35% fair, I have to say it does look and feels better inside, yet not enough to raise prices and discontinue a portion of their menu. $$$ 3 out of 4 dollars read more

Great food! Friendly service! Reasonable prices! Tends to be crowded on weekends. A nice family restaurant !

This is my all-time favorite Mexican restaurant! (They have two locations and both equally as good!) The food is awesome but the Margaritas are exceptional. We drive half an hour to get there even though there are 2 within a mile from our home and 1 that is 8 miles away. It's worth the trip! Every. Single. Time. read more

Very good food and margaritas!!!! The staff are the best!!!! Always greets you with a smile and "hola!" You will not be disappointed! There are 2 locations in town; we prefer the downtown location! read more

Delicious fresh cooked food! Prompt service. Great atmosphere. New menu. Can't wait to return!

They serve an awesome meal. It's pretty filling with leftovers. The service is quick as well.

The food was pretty good, but the service was not amazing. I went here with a few coworkers. Right off, we could tell the waiter was not overly friendly. A minor request for straws was met with some slight annoyance. When the food came, one person received a chili rellano instead of the tamale they ordered. He took it back and subbed it out, but was not apologetic in any way. Overall, the food wasn't amazing, but pretty good. I had the paella, which was a bunch of meat and sautéed veggies over rice and cheese. It was tasty, but the beef was sliced extremely thin. The salsa has a bit of a kick here. That said, it was a good consistency. The chips were fairly average. Overall it was a pretty average place. read more

Tequila Mexican Restaurant - Their "paella" was pretty good. - Mexican Near Me - Centralia, Illinois

Solid food and drinks. Tried this place after Centralia House fell flat on its face. Blue margaritas are made well, service was spot on, and food done well. A great asset to to the town! read more

Great food, excellent service and fun atmosphere. Best margaritas in town. Go there once or twice a week.

Worst service they wouldn't take my order because they didn't want to make and told me to go to another Mexican restaurant

Always a good place for very good Mexican food. Service is always great and prices are on par.

Hands down the best Mexican restaurant around. Little tip they are always packed so don't be surprised when you may have to wait a few minutes for a seat. Food is just plain amazing. Best white cheese around. Salsa is very good and not chunky. The servings here are rather large so you will definitely leave full. Overall very good. read more

Have been here a couple of times and this would be 4 1/2 if it was an option. The margaritas are great and the portions are huge. I love paella with shrimp, chicken and steak. It's great. read more

I crave this place all the time. White cheese sauce is awesome.

Food is always good but service is very hit and miss. Have had to wait as long as 15 mins just to have our order taken and even longer for food. read more

This place usually serves up good food but I recently was greatly let down by the service and food. This has been a reliable spot for good food for many years but the quality has gone down hill big time since my last visit. You won't have many options in Centralia so they kind of have the market on lock down but they really should step their game up and deliver a better product. The service was lacking from the hostess not knowing how to handle an overcrowded lobby to the servers being very rude to the guests. I only wish another mexican resturant would come in and show them how to do things the right way. read more

We r actually at the tequilas by the train station which we prefer. Food is so good and everyone comes for the margaritas :-) service is exceptional. We come regularly...love this place ! read more

Very clean and very friendly and food looks great! The young girls at the bar are super nice . Restaurant is family friendly. read more

The best part of Tequilas are the memories of years gone by. I used to come here quite frequently, it was a great place to eat, and their enchiladas were superb. The decor is what you find in your typical Mexican restaurant (murals on the walls, pictures of cacti, and a general feeling of the Southwest). However their food has been on a steady decline the last few years. Their portions keep getting smaller, the menus keep getting more complex, and the food is mediocre at best. Provided you get what you actually ordered, and I only say that because the last two times I've visited my order has been messed up. There's a possibility this is a result from Tequilas being the only Mexican joint in town for the longest time. Not counting Taco Bell...but who really counts Taco Bell as Mexican food? Anyways, a new Mexican place has opened shop nearby, so now there are options. Hopefully the competition will prompt Tequilas into getting back to its original greatness. read more

I'm glad that I didn't look at all of the negative reviews before I went into Tequila (Not Tequilas). I've tried a lot of Mexican/American restaurants but this one was by far the best I've had yet. I'm not talking about authentic Mexican food or street food. That totally fits in a different category. However, the tamales and Chile Relleno at Tequila were excellent. The food came out hot and fresh.The salsa was a little on the spicy side but it was adequate. I've had better salsa but everyone has their preference on an ideal flavor, texture and consistency. I thought the decor was pretty traditional in that atmosphere. I liked the hand painted decoration on the walls. The waiter was very attentive and actually made sure that we were doing ok. I needed a drink refill after eating some of the hot salsa and he came back to the table right away. There were a lot of people in there for Friday before 5. I was just passing through but I would definitely recommend it to others. read more

Paella for 8.99 is a steal and taste great .. I was only here for work and I can honestly say it's probably the only thing in this entire town I look forward to... three best things shrimp chicken and beef throw that on top of some cheese covered rice that's a winner every time... I got enough food to feed three people... The salsa on the other hand just taste like puréed spaghetti sauce not even worth eating . Would I go back for the Paella ???? Every time I'm in town !! read more

Our favorite Mexican restaurant in the world. Real Mexican cooks, real Mexican servers, real Mexican owners and really good Mexican food! Try it or you're stupid! read more

The food was very bland. Service was ok. We ordered some frozen alcoholic drinks and they had big chunks of ice in them instead of being smooth and had way too much alcohol. Not sure if we were there on an unusual night or not, but probably wont be going back. read more

Really good Mexican food. The salsa could be a little better but SUPER quick service.

Went to your restaurant 06-06-2015, everything was going really good till we got our food, I had family in from Mississippi and I chose this restaurant, was very disappointed when my brother in laws chicken was spoiled, although our waitress was nice and took it back and replaced it with fajita chicken, I was very embarrased and regreted choosing this restaurant, I usely come here often but dont think I will again. read more
