So...Bland bland bland. I was hoping for more of authentic taste because the salsa and chips were fresh and the rice was good when the waitress brought my dish. I ordered the Burrito Colorado and it was a disappointment. The meat in the chile was tough, the chile colorado was more of a guisado than chile. I think I ordered wrong. Service was great and the ambiance was nice. I'm bummed that I took chance and came up with blandness. read more

We are pretty picky when it comes to Mexican food, but we found it delicious. The chips and salsa were fresh and had just enough spice. We shared a big plate of nachos which were done just right. The service was great and the restaurant was clean. We will be back! read more

Can't give anything hiring than 2 stars. Solely because my food came out with a LONG piece of hair in it!! I immediately let the manager know, and he decided to comp a few of the drinks to make up for the value of the meal with the hair in it. Overall, I don't think this was enough compensation. I would've preferred taking off a huge discount for the entire meal. I was also searching for the waiter a few times for refills and extra items we needed. They seemed a little short staffed. read more

As we sit here tonight this restaurant gets a 3.9 star review. I have to say that I absolutely disagree and don't understand how anyone in their right mind could walk away thinking this is anything other than 5 star. No kidding. First, the salsa is kicking. Just enough spice to make you feel alive. Salty and delicious. Ordered a Bloody Mary - spicy. Damn! It was probably the best I have EVER had. Not just good but great. Then the star of the show, the Poblano Burrito. I don't even know how to describe this perfect meld of delicious flavors. It's like a chile relleno inside a grilled chicken burrito covered in a tasty, cilantro heavy green poblano sauce. HEAVEN. I was so full but could not fathom putting that fork down and leaving any of this morsel on the plate. No way. It was probably the best burrito I have ever imagined. Get it and tell me I am wrong. You won't. read more

I always come to those places over the years and have many memories coming here with my kids. The service is usually good and the food was always good. Well it's gone way down hill. I could barely eat my dinner this time. The food tasted old and like it was under a heat lamp! The fajitas were not even sizzling. No flavor and the margarita was a sweet mess too much mix. That need quality control for sure!! read more

Great food and service!! And we are picky Mexican food eaters. Will go back again. Loved the food and drinks.

We both had the pick 2 combo plates with chile relleno (both soft and crispy) chicken burrito & chimichangas. All good. Chips and salsa wasn't my favorite. Service was good. Draft dos xx beer was cold, but was sold out of Modelo at the time. read more

Tequila's is a small place off the main drag in old town Durango. We were looking for a place to have a late lunch and stopped in on a whim. We are so glad we did! There is wonderful Mexican food where we live in Texas, but Tequilla's can hold it's own with any other Mexican restaurant I've been to. The Queso Chorizo came out still sizzling in a skillet, our meals were hot and HUGE (see the pics) and the beer was cold! We gave Tequila's a 5 because the food was that good. If we'd incorporated the service, it would have been a 4. The staff could be more attentive and friendly, we had to ask for water refills and it took a bit to get the check. If they amp up the friendliness a bit, combined with the great food, this place would be perfect. read more

Chose this place after recommendations from other passengers on the railroad. Walked there when we return from the trip and was seated immediately. Food was excellent! read more

Stopped by as the family and I were passing through Durango. Food was okay and now I know why. Both my wife and I got mild food poisoning afterwards. Worst part was my 2 year and 4 year old also worse food poisoning than us and have been out of commission for the rest of the trip. read more

The food was amazing the service is great and the poblano burrito is to die for and it is great for families and it's very easy to get there

To be honest we only had the skinny spicy margaritas, the queso, and chips and salsa here but everything was delicious. Stop in for a fun treat or come by for some fun Mexican food! Surprisingly delicious! read more

Food was bland and cold and not very good. Very disappointed in how low quality our food was. The highlight was probably their salsa sadly. The staff were non existent for most of dinner and seemed to be having a bit too much fun. One of the waitresses was in a booth with some folks who left halfway through our meal drinking and being obnoxious. Once her friends left, she went right back to working. This left her one co-worker who was waiting tables to do so alone, and he STRUGGLED to keep up with the 4-5 tables present. Overall, I would not recommend this place. Try one of the Mexican restaurants. read more

This has been the best tasting Mexican food I've eaten in a very long time. Since Durango is on lockdown after 6pm, and there are no indoor seating, we called in a to go order to take back to our hotel. Main Street parking is very limited, but I was able to find a spot right outside the front door. (I did notice there is one spot right outside the restaurants for curbside delivery) I just walked in, and picked up our food. Once inside you really can't go anywhere, because of covid they have the dining room blocked off. There is a counter right when you walk in, and this is where your food order will be placed. When placing your order via the internet, or over the phone you will need to pre-pay which is ok by me less hassle to mess with. Just pickup your food and go. What I was Impressed with was their service with a smile, and the large selection of alcohol behind the bar. I don't know what Colorado's liquor laws are, but if they are anything like Utah's you'll just have to admire from afar, no take out for you. Anyway... back to the food. Portions were GENEROUS. We had a reservation to ride the "Polar Express" train ride so we needed to hurry and eat so we didn't miss the train. (That's a whole different review) I ordered the tortilla soup, and it was so yummy on the very first taste, and hot. I had a hard time eating it all before we had to leave, and was sad about it, because there was no way to heat it up when we got back to our room. The chips were light and airy and the salsa was fantastic. My grandson opted for the American fare of a good old cheeseburger and fries. I have to give a shout out to Tequila's, because this was the best burger he had on our whole trip. Who knew it would be at a Mexican restaurant. When we got back to the hotel after our excursion, I ate my chicken salad, and it was fantastic, the dressing was a perfect match. Lettuce was nice, and crisp and the chicken was perfectly cooked. Yum. If your ever in Durango, and are in the mood for some Mexican food "This is the Place" to go to. I did say the portions were GENEROUS right? VERY GENEROUS! Bone appetit read more

Even on a super busy night service was good and food was excellent. Drinks were strong and well-made, food was quick and quality.

Authentic Mexican food. Good atmosphere. House margarita was bland, but everything else was absolutely delicious. Service was a little slow, but that was because they were fully packed on a Friday night. read more

Whenever I go out of town I make it a point to try a local restaurant. I came to Durango and found this place. It had great reviews so I thought I'd give it a shot I was not disappointed! The food was delicious! I had the Pollo Poblano. This is grilled chicken served in a homemade poblano sauce (with a side of rice and beans). The chicken was cooked perfectly, it fell apart with just the fork. The sauce had a great flavor. I wish I could replicate it. The salsa served before your meal was very good as well. Let's not forget shoot the service. The waiter was great and service was fast. I got seated immediately and not too long after, I got my order taken. This restaurant is a must try if you go to Durango. I will definitely be back when I'm back in town. read more

Started with Chips and Salsa and Mexican slaw. I've never had Mexican slaw served with chips it was a interesting addition. Portions were HUGE. Plan on taking lots home or share with your table mates. Food was hot and delicious. Margaritas were AWESOME. I would have given them five stars if our server would have been a little more personable. read more

Always a favorite when we are in Durango. The margaritas and ice cold beer is welcome after a long day of adventures. Great Chips and salsa. Got fajitas in a pineapple, super yummy. Also got the grilled chicken platter. Came with fresh flour tortillas. Also got deep fried ice cream for dessert. Service was top notch as always! We will be back again. read more

We stopped by last night and it wasn't as great as it use to be. Maybe it's because we arrived over an hour before closing that we got the last bit of food/sauces left or what. Once we got back to our room we discovered we got food poisoning. I'm definitely sad its not like how it use to be. read more

Great meal and service. Salsa and chips were great. Decent margaritas. Everything we ordered was well liked.

I have always loved coming here, their salsa is my favorite and I usually leave with a cup to go. If you like Mexican food, you cannot go wrong here. A great house margarita, portions are huge and the menu has a huge variety. The food is more traditional Mexican, no no green chile for the New Mexican food lovers. But I feel it's healthier food too, simple, good food. Give them a try if you haven't. read more

I was in Durango visiting my mom who lives there. We walked into Tequilas for dinner. Unfortunately we were greeted by a grumpy host ( I'm assuming the owner ) and Older gentleman who was not friendly or welcoming at all. No eye contact, or smile when we walked in. The service was not great as well. I ordered a margarita that was not drinkable. We were both starving and decided to stay anyway. The food was decent thankfully. But, When we left the host didn't say Thank You you for coming in, he actually snarled at me. I saw him being friendly to the locals tho. We won't be coming back! read more

OMGEE' what a "Gem," to come across... We are from San Antonio, Texas, the "HEART," of Mexican/flava'/Margarita's. And this was a -fortuitous- happen-stance!!! I actually was blocking the door to the restaurant LOOKN' for another Mexican Cuisine/Margaritas, (truth be told!!) restaurant & locals exiting Shared this was "THE #1," Choice for all we were on the the hunt for after being away from home 14 days! It CHECKED everything & more we Were LOOKN' for And "MORE!" Defly a -MUST!!!- The FOOD WAS GEEZ'!!! No Words!!! Thank You Tequila & Our server was Equally AMAZN'. read more

An unobtrusive space on main, hidden between other choices. Margaritas made with real lime juice-- LIKE YOUR MAMA'S! I had the arroz con cream and my partner had the carnitas-- too much amazing food! Strongly recommend!! read more

While on vacation we stopped for a quick evening meal. Knowing the franchise we decide to give this location a try. We are sure glad we did. The food was fantastic and our service was wonderful. It appeared to have a nice mixture of locals and tourist. The only bummer was that I was not able to finish the large portion and had to leave some tasty food on the plate. read more

It was ok. Nothing to write home to mom about. The service (once we ordered) was quick but we must have come in the middle of a shift change as we were seated then it took what felt like another 15-20 minutes before we were waited on. The chips are either store bought or stale. read more

Good service, food was authentic, and overall the restaurant has a good vibe. I got the pork enchilladas and it was very good (i'm saying this as a picky eater). read more

Lets just start with the important part in today's crazy service industry, this place offered over the top great service! We were greeted and seated right away. Chips and salsa showed up right after that with a friendly smile. We asked her about the special but she spoke little English so we just went up front and reviewed it. We ordered the lunch special and it was amazing. It was a Relleno stuffed in a burrito with beef and covered with a Green Chille sauce. The meal was amazing and we were constantly checked on and enjoyed every minute of out lunch there. Other meals looked good and were very healthy portions for the amount you paid. Great place to stop and visit after walking Main Street and building up an appetite! read more

I went to place a Togo order the manager asked if he could help and i told him what i needed. He said yea it's going to be a bit.

I will not be back and suggest you do not go either! read more
