A friend and I paid $20 for a margarita pitcher. We asked for chips and salsa bartender said that that was not allowed. It was no big deal but then she told us that she doesn't give people chips and salsa at this time, mind you it was only m 7 o'clock. Anyways we are two women. Around 7 o'clock a bunch of men enter the bar and she gives them chips and salsa. She never checked in on us once, I believe this is because we are not men. 0 stars. read more

The food is pretty good, I didn't care much for the atmosphere however. The music could be turned down some to.

Excellent Discovery Tried Tequila for the first time today. Carne Asada can't be beat. Margarita was excellent. Lunch menu was very reasonable. We will be back soon! read more

In my opinion, especially with competing restaurants, it was just worse than subpar. Anytime I try a restaurant I'll try it two times and that's what I did. Prices were a little high but that's not really a big deal. The service was always great as well. It just seemed really basic. I was more disappointed than anything. Inside is a cookie cutter Mexican restaurant interior. Just wanted more flavor overall. read more

Since moving to La Crosse in '99, the food quality at Tequila has gone up and down over the years. I stopped going to Tequila a few years ago, during one of the downturns, stopping there only for the occasional margarita. I'm happy to report that Tequila is once again serving good food, and if you're a fan of Senor Villa down the street, give Tequila a try. Their daily specials can't be beat ($6.99 AYCE tacos on Tuesdays all day- choice of ground beef, shredded beef or chicken; $7.99 fajitas on Thursdays and Fridays). Friendly staff, warm chips, cool salsa, great margaritas, nice ambiance, convenient location. read more

I remember when Tequila's opened up when I was a boy; in fact at least one of my birthdays we had dinner there. It has been a little while since I've eaten there, for whatever reason I don't know I just never got around to eating there in a while. I heard some bad reviews recently, and also saw that senior Villas took out the Onalaska branch of Tequilas recently. I wanted to eat at Tequila's partly because I got off work earlier than I figured, and I thought maybe a nice Mexican lunch would be a great way to continue the day and see if what people said was true or not. There's not a lot of people there for the lunch time this Wednesday afternoon. it was actually kind of relaxing to hear traditional Mexican music as I sat eating chips and salsa. The salsa is just as good as it was when I was a kid. The waitress, who I assume was the owner's wife, was very nice a very prompt with service and polite. I ordered the roast beef chimichanga lunch special along with a Pacifico beer; I got my food very quickly. Although the chimichanga was not as big as I thought it would be, I assume that is because I got the lunch special not a dinner. The chimichanga could have used a slight more crunch to The Taste, but other than that the food was very good. The sauce was very good that came on top of the chimichanga, and the rice did not taste stale or dry. The price was good in that I only had to pay excluding tip $10 for my chimichanga lunch and beer combined. The only complaint is I wish there was more proportions on my plate, otherwise I feel like it was similar of an experience as what when I was a boy only with less people in the restaurant. read more

Had lunch here with the family while in town visiting our daughter who attends school at University of Wisconsin LaCrosse. The service was very good and the food was good... though nothing over the top. The margaritas, on the other hand, were fantastic!! read more

Drove by after menards. The bright pink building and promise of carry-out margaritas during the pandemic made us turn around. I forgot to mention which meat I wanted. When I called our order in. The sweet girl who answered the phone hopped out to my truck to find out. So awesome! Hauled out dinners (in foil containers - not styrofoam!!! Yay!!!) back 60 minutes to our house in the country. Popped them in the oven, locked down the farm and they were warm quickly. The salsa was tasty and fresh, the beans and rice were devoured in no time and our plates were both totally cleaned off. The margs were just fine and we totally did not drink them on the way home at all. We will definitely be back after our next menards run! read more

Best Mexican in LaCrosse. The staff is fantastic and the food is on point. I recommend the quesadilla Pancho. And bonus, every time I've been there, it's 2 for 1 margaritas. read more

We have been here many times and our food is always very good with the many items we have ordered. Chips and salsa are excellent. The one thing that has always been great has been the service. They always works hard to make their customers happy with their dining ventures. Thanks again for the nice dining experiences! read more

Franklin is the best waiter I've seen in the area. Food is average, drinks are great! He checks up on you just enough and will get you anything you need and more. Always request him if he's working and tip him well, he deserves it!! read more

Not good, terrible service one of the girls I came with didn't even get her food. The food was good but my fajitas that I didn't get beans or rice with still costed $10. Awesome stuff lol. Honestly save your time and money and go to another Mexican restaurant. read more

Tequila Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - La Crosse, Wisconsin

The food is cheap but every time I've eaten here I get sick no matter what I order. The food is bland and incredibly oily, and makes me nauseous. Salsa is almost water. read more

Great food and prices plus staff are always friendly (same people have worked there since I can even remember). Love supporting local places that definitely deserve it! read more

We ordered dinner delivered from here through EatStreet. Two of us got taco salads, and a third got soft tacos and re fried beans. The tacos were fine. As were the refried beans. Taco salads: entirely unremarkable. Made with a handful of shredded lettuce, a (too small) dollop of Guac, another small squirt of sour cream, about 11 pieces of diced tomato, some sohredded cheese and shredded chicken. The chicken was wet, and faintly pink (presumably with some seasoning, but I couldn't taste it). The entire thing was taste free, until you bit into the shell. The fried shell the salad was served in had the most overwhelming flavor of dish soap. It was so awful, I had to run to the sink and spit it out. Tasted like when the fryers were last cleaned out they were not rinsed nearly well enough. Mistakes happen. What was an absolute and serious disappointment, however, was the response of the individual who answered the phone when we called to complain. He said "next time you come in, let us know and we'll 'do something' for you". Despite the edible food being worth 2-3 stars, this response to our complaint was so profoundly inadequate that I can only, in all honesty, give the restaurant a single star. We wasted $20 or so on inedible, spdishsoap-laden food, and the best they can do is to tell us to mention it next time we come in so they can "do something"? read more

This is owned by the same people who own the Tequila's in Onalaska. We've had a couple bad experiences at that one and we were hoping the La Crosse one would be a different experience. Unfortunately, it was the same. The restaurant is run down and dirty. Our table and chairs were sticky, there was food all over the floor and there were layers and layers of dust on the decor sitting in the window. The bathroom wasn't much better. The service is ok at best. We tried to order a mushroom quesadilla (off the menu) and were told the my were out of mushrooms. Finally settled on some beef fajitas and asked to sub black beans for refried. Server told us they don't have black beans. Fajitas were dry and beef was very overlooked. Won't go back to either one. Manny's is a much better option! read more

We went here a few months ago because we received a coupon in the mail and I've been wanting to try it out, as Mexican food is my favorite. The service was decent and the place looked clean enough. I ordered enchiladas and I was not impressed (reminded of Taco Johns). The margaritas were watery and weak. The best thing were the sopapillas. Unfortunately, we will not be coming back here. read more

This was by far the worst food and service I have ever received. First of all, my margarita was terrible and being a bartender for 20 years, I know what even a weak margarita should taste like...this wasn't even close. The glass was broken on the base and almost cut myself. Then the food arrived. I ordered hard shelled beef tacos and my premade taco shell was stale. Taco bells are better! My daughter's taquitos weren't even crispy and were gooey In the middle. We also pulled put about a quarter tomato from it. Her "guacamole" was a chunk of unsalted avocado. When we asked to replace it with a regular bean and cheese burrito, the waitress laughed and rolled her eyes. When the "burrito" came, it was just a tortilla wrapped twice, both ends open, with the cheese melted on top. I have been to the Tequilas in Onalaska and had an amazing experience. I ended up being sick when I got home. Save your money and go to Taco Bell. You will get a better meal read more

Tequila Mexican Restaurant - a person pouring a drink into a glass - Mexican Near Me - La Crosse, Wisconsin

We have been severely disappointed with the quality of Mexican food in La Crosse, and this place was no exception. The salsa was old and tasted horrible. Got chimichangas and the quality and taste were lacking. Probably has a good alcohol list, which may make it popular here. We were there for lunch. Would avoid this place. read more

I'm a big fan of Mexican food and Margaritas. I love the fajitas. They have kick ass Margaritas. They literally kick your ass. Fast service. And they serve the typical chips and salsa before your meal. And they keep the chips coming until your food arrives. The food always comes out piping hot. All you have to do is enjoy it. read more

Another one of the restaurants I tried during one of my several trips to the LaCrosse area. I'm sorry, the food here is just not very good. The restaurant looks the part, but the food betrays it. The hot sauce/salsa is neither hot nor tasty. The chips are just "okay". The fajitas *look* like Chinese food and don't taste very good. It's pretty hard to mess up fajitas, but this place manages to do just that. The restaurant even has an odd not-quite-Mexican-food smell to it. On top of that, our waiter was rather aggravatingly absent even though we appeared to be his only table. I read somewhere that Midwesterners have a "notoriously bland palette", so I guess it doesn't surprise me that some WI/MN natives might actually believe this to be good Mexican food. I won't hold it against you guys :p read more

Absolutely the worst ever of any type restaurant. Food was blah, lavatories stink, server ok, atmosphere ok, cook clueless. Ordered taco salad and chimichanga. Salad was barely recognizable not only did it look horrible, it was, thank god ionly 1/4 filled. We gave them 2 try's on the Changa and it came both times without being deep fried, for that matter fried in any way. Over priced and we will never go there again or give any positive review. read more

Pretty good mexican restaurant really close to campus. They have solid margarita pitchers. Note: the staff like to hit on college girls, and often if girls order teh pitchers they will be ALOT stronger than if a guy were to order. So guys, if you want more booze have your girl bat her eyes at the staff - it'll pay off. read more

Great Place with Good food! I really enjoyed my meal. I had the Chicken Chimichanga with rice and beans. The Chimi was good. Rice was very flavorful! Good prompt service by the waiter! read more

Great food, drinks, service and atmosphere! My friend and I stopped in La Crosse for the night when we were driving cross country and stumbled upon this restaurant. It's festively decorated outside and in and was very inviting. We got two entrees and four margaritas for $25- what a steal and it was delicious! read more

Went there for lunch, and it was nothing to write home about. My mother got bland chicken quesadillas, daughter got chicken nachos that consisted of chicken and cheese only. We were surprised to learn that their margaritas are pre made, and had to convince the server to make my wife a real one. When asked what kind of tequila was in it, the server replied, "the regular kind." It seems like a great place to go if you don't care about taste, presentation or atmosphere. read more

Good place for drinks but not for food. Not as good as some of the other Mexican restaurants in the area around the same price point. Been here a few times and service is always subpar at best as well. read more

I love eating at Tequila! But the service I had today was horrible. Half of their menu was out of stock due to a truck not coming in... including ice cream, kids chicken nuggets and so on... So instead of my 3 year old having chicken nuggets he had a pizza. His pizza was a soggy, microwaved slice of disgusting pizza. He wouldn't touch it. The kids chocolate milk looked like super skim, very lightly made chocolate. When the bill came I was incorrectly charged for my son's meal as they advertise, "kids eat free Saturday & Sunday". I had to deal with a about 13 year old male host who was incredibly rude to me when paying. He actually said, "You don't need to freak out" after I asked if he had already swiped my card for the incorrect amount he told me. I asked him if that was how he talked to all of their customers and he said "I guess". Again, overall this was very bad service. I will never, ever go back to this place to eat again... and I'm pregnant and craving a cheese steak... guess my craving will have to go unsatisfied. Do not go here unless you want very bad service and old food. read more

I got the Nacho Soup. Ordered nachos and the chicken was so runny, and salty, it made the dish like a soup! Not vey good and the jalapeños were a bit shriveled and old. The chips and salsa before the meal was the best part and they were stale. But hey, you enjoy their "Authentic Mexican Food" read more

Extremely underrated restaurant! This place is amazing and is by far my favorite Mexican restaurant in La Crosse not just because of the bogo margaritas. The food is amazing and authentic. The service is always great whether I'm dining in or taking out. read more

Average Mexican fare. Good table service, but hostess was rude when handling our payment. There are better Mexican places in town and we will be sure to go elsewhere next time! read more

I personally love this place. Great atmosphere and the staff is very friendly. It is my go to. 2 for 1 margaritas, you can't pass this up. Chicken nachos are the best. Try the fajitas too! On Thursday and Friday late nights the vibe changes to a great place to socialize with friends. I come here at least once a week. Honestly. Try it out!! read more

This restuarant is mediocre at its best. The place is not very clean, and the food is marginal. Tried it twice just in case the first time was a fluke. Never will I return, you're better off at Taco John's. read more

According to them...they have the best Mexican food in La Crosse.Well,thats a big time lie!Worst service ever,terrible margaritas,terrible food and the place is sooo dirty.Me and my wife we went there accidently!I dont like writing reviews about restaurants but this is my first time and i hope i never gonna do this again!The place it was empty by the time we walked in,and then we place our order of course.After us 4 or 5 tables came in.Well....we got our food after all those tables.I mean it was ridiculous.My fajitas was burned and the tortillas as well and my wife's sea food burrito was not even seasoned!And i am not even writing all the details.To be honest they dont deserve even on star for this review!Bottom line...terrible terrible terrible.Dont waste your appetite,your money and your time. read more

My best friends and I come here at least once a week for the 2-4-1 margaritas and the chicken nachos. The staff is so friendly and really do a good job of taking care of everyone when the place gets extra busy during the weekends too. I was apprehensive about the food because of previous reviews but I tried different items like the fajitas and absolutely loved it. Don't knock it til you try it. read more

2 for 4$ margs that will put you on your butt make this place a must stop. Good food tops it off

less than mediocre food AND PISS POOR management! dont waste ur money here. fajitas served with no cheese....hahaha isnt this the cheese state? and just dripping with oil....looking for mexican, go to taco bell on same block or walk to taco johns! upon paying my bill i asked for an itemized receipt to submit to my company as this is a business trip and the SOB at the register printed me a receipt for 3 dos equis....WTF? and when telling him of his error he tells me the computer printed the receipt, all he did was give it to me. who's operating the computer, not me! the jerk off proceeded to berate me and was offended when i would not allow him to use my pen, asking if i thought he was dirty. yes indeed i do and no he cannot use my pen. nasty bastard! turns out this prick is the owner, dont put cash in his pocket or food in his mouth! i can only imagine how he treats the local college students if this is how he treats a business person....after his continue beratement i felt much better telling him to go fu*k himself. save urself some frustration and eat elsewhere! read more
