Anytime I can sit outdoors and enjoy a meal by a river, lake, or ocean, I will do that. This place is very tourist like. It has a large footprint so you are likely to find seating. It was kept clean and the servers were friendly and fast. They check on you periodically. The food was good. They offered Mexican or Mexican-inspired cuisine and I think they did a pretty good job of it. There was one odd exchange when the server asked us where we were from. He went in to explain a little about himself and then added that we were in the "white" side of the area. He furthers explained that the other side of the river were the "non-whites". I didn't know what to say and I didn't understand why he pointed that out to me. Being the only "non-white" person there I thought maybe he was trying to say something without saying it. I said "thanks for sharing" and he left. It was weird and out of place but I liked the food and restaurant so I will recommend it.

Carne Asada Tacos with fresh cut fries

As always, tequila Willie's had incredible food, service and atmosphere. We sat outside looking out at the river and it was such a nice experience. Clean plates and full belly's!

Surprisingly great guacamole and elotes. The Birria tacos were lacking a little flavor and the consommé did not help because it was a little bland as well. Actually had to sprinkle a little salt inside the tacos. Not bad, just not what I hoped after the wonderfully spicy elotes and chips and guac. Service was great, seated immediately on the deck 3:30 PM on Saturday. Food arrived quickly and the portions were huge! Definitely a good value. And the great views from the deck, awesome!

Quesadillas on the appetizer menu

A group of 15 of us went out for an after training wind down. Chose this place because some locals said it was fun and laid-back. Rather than getting dinners, the group ordered a variety of appetizers (and drinks). We shared the appetizers. They were so filling that they left no room for dinner. But that kind of was the plan. Here's our appetizer list. Chips and salsa, plus guacamole, bacon, wrapped jalapeños, Mexican street corn, quesadillas, and oh wait, there's more, blackened chicken fingers. From the fresh and salty/pepper chips to the salsa, guacamole, and everything else, the group overall was satisfied. My favorite were the blackened chicken fingers. A twist on chicken, but different good. If the weather was nicer, we would've gone out on the deck and enjoyed the water view. Next time.

Nachos

I didn't expect to like it here as much as I did. They have their own private parking lot. The ambiance is just as awesome overlooking the river as Docksides and Duke's, but there's not as much outdoor seating. Our server was kind, attentive, and quick. The nachos were awesome and filled us up so much we didn't have room for our entree. The food was so flavorful, and we were able to get 2 additional dinners out of them. If you're a tequila buff, they have a lot of different options. We recommend!

bacon wrapped jalepeno peppers

we ate at Tequila Willie's when it first opened and it was not great, Year later ate there the other day for a friend's bday. Much better experience. menu is still way over complicated. This is not Cheesecake Factory where one gets a huge spiral bound menu. the menu is way to big, small print, weird color. portions for appetizers are way to big and entrees are small portions

food was delicious and my beverage specialist, Kinsey was personable, professional and easy on the eyes! Will come back again.

bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers

amazing drinks, orange crush and orange margarita were great. bartenders were awesome as always. Me and my dad frequently go and we always have fun there.

The food at Tequila Willie's is very good Mexican food! The prices and service really fit in with the place. The waitress was very nice, and I would go again. The environment is very nice, there is outdoor seating, too. I vote go here instead of Dockside Willies or Dukes. I do a lot of reviews, and this one I really acknowledge.

Stopped in for a nice birthday dinner for my daughter's 17th birthday,.. and Mannnn WHAT A PARTY FOUL ON MY PART!! To start off,... I ordered the guacamole dip to start us off with but an additional bowl of guacamole but she brings out two full plates of chips and side plates.... Smh how did you get that from an additional bowl of guacamole?? Followed by the server COMPLETELY FORGETTING MY PARTNERS BEVERAGE ALL TOGETHER!!! following by my daughters entire plate including the rice and beans being COLD! My burger first came with plain fries when I asked for seasoned, after once taken back and returned my burger had mayonnaise on it and not mustard and IM HIGHLY ALLERGIC TO MAYONNAISE!!! My partners wings were tasting like pine sol !! SOOO ALL IN ALL... THE LORAX SPEAKS FOR THE TREES, and I SPEAK FOR TEQUILA WILLIES.... THIS SHIT SUCKSSSSSS!!!!

I went with the white sangria, which was full of different fruits and hit the spot. If you haven't tried the pretzel bites, they are an absolute must! Soft and billowy and tossed in butter, almost leave you speechless. The beer, cheese dip, just enhances the experience! For my meal, I tried the mushroom Smashburger. It was smoky, full of mushroom flavor on a pretzel roll. I would definitely order that again! My friend had the buffalo chicken sandwich and she said it was one of the best buffalo chicken sandwiches she has ever had! Our server, Sydney was very helpful with the menu and really enhanced our experience with her outgoing personality! We sat outside and it was a beautiful evening to enjoy some cocktails, a nice meal and they had the fire pit going as well. Check out zeroday, you won't be disappointed.

I've been here several times, both for casual drinks and organized events, and it's consistently a comfortable, relaxed place. The beer selection is excellent and is definitely one of the better local breweries in the area, and the food options complement the drinks nicely. Service can vary depending on how busy it is, but it's generally fine and friendly. The space itself has a clean, modern pub vibe with a good mix of indoor seating and a nice outdoor area in back. It feels trendy without trying too hard. Overall, Zeroday Brewing is a dependable, enjoyable downtown hangout with great beer and good energy.

This little hole-in-the-wall sits on the backside of a rivertown, serving up old-school vibes and seriously good pizza. The dough and sauce are made in-house, and you can taste it -- crust was crisp yet airy, with a buttery richness and just enough chew to make each bite satisfying. Sauce had a bit of spice, cheese was bubbly, browned, and full of real-deal flavor (no sad, fake cheese here). Toppings? Plentiful and delicious. We came dangerously close to finishing the whole pie, stopping only two slices short. For drinks, my adventure buddy went classy with an Old Fashioned (good, but nothing to write home about -- and the bar's lack of Luxardo cherries made him sad), while I kept it real with a draft Miller Lite. The beer was cold and clean -- and honestly, from a hole-in-the-wall bar, that's something I appreciate. Bartender doubled as our waitress and handled it like a pro, even on a slow Monday night. The place is dark and cozy, decorated with lots of '50s-inspired artwork, and apparently has a rooftop bar -- sadly closed during our summer date night. The bill came to $42 for the pizza, two drinks, and a tip -- budget-friendly date night win. No on-site parking, but plenty of free curb spots out front or municipal lots a block away. Safe area for an after-dark stroll. If you're into unpretentious spots serving pizza that punches above its weight, Fratelli's is your jam.

I am a big fan of flights and am always so thankful that they offer liquor flights. I did a vodka flight this visit. You choose up to 5 liquors and they are $2.50 each. My flight of flavored vodkas came to $12.50. I knew I wanted to purchase a bottle and this was a fantastic way to try before you buy. I also got the fluffernutter shot and I thoroughly enjoyed that. The PB whiskey was so dang smooth! I'm an Irish whiskey kind of lady, but this was very drinkable. I told my friend I was going to get a bottle of that as well as the vodka, but she talked me into the marshmallow whiskey instead. I haven't tried that yet, but I trust her judgement. The main thing to know is that it's definitely a place to sit and drink and not so much a place to eat. We popped in across the street to eat before coming to DL. They do have a pub-type menu with pretzel logs, chips & salsa, and pizza. That's about it for the offerings unless they have a special. It's a nice place to have a drinking session and you add chill atmosphere, friendly staff, and decent prices and you have a real winner!
