Ok. Place looks a little dingy compared to nearby joints. However we are totally switching this to be our Mexican daily driver. The staff was friendly and the food was zingier and more flavorful than we've been getting. Even the salsa and bean dip with the chips were not a throwaway. The even have Coke Zero in a huge glass that's calibrated right. Salsa bar. Good value. read more

Our first time trying. I think you can tell a lot about a Mexican restaurant by their chips. They are the first impression after all, and here, we weren't impressed. Though they were warm, they were not fresh or salty enough. The atmosphere felt dark and cramped on the bar side where we were seated, and the music was pretty bad. The menu is huge and offers a lot of unique dishes, so we were still hopeful. I ordered the Tacos Fuentes, which along with three soft tacos of chicken, beans, pico, and guacamole, features a melange of grilled onions, tomatoes and zucchini on the side. It was a lot of food, and I enjoyed it. Hub tried a very spicy shrimp dish - so spicy that he was warned by the waiter and the food runner that it was VERY spicy...so he proceeded with caution. He could see the pepper seeds in the sauce, so after a taste test he removed the shrimp from the sauce to tone down the heat a bit. (That's huge for him, as he usually never admits when something is too hot!) Anyhoo, lunch was completed but unfortunately we walked away unimpressed. One bright spot: Everyone was very friendly. read more

Hard to find, as it's in a strip mall with Home Depot, but worth the visit. Staff is very friendly and professional, and the entrees are generous and tasty. We recommend the Seafood Enchilada, Steak Quesadillas, and Steak Enchiladas. Complementary tortilla chips and homemade dipping sauces were delicious too. Ask for Pam ... she was great! read more

This is an over priced, over rated Mexican restaurant. I can name at least 2 in the area that's better. It's grease. Portions are small and the price is higher. I'll pass on this place. It less than a 1/2 mile from my home. read more

Decided to stop at Tequilas on 7/5/2022 while on vacation. I regret wholeheartedly that I did. I made a decision from Google reviews and the false assumption that with a name like Tequilas, I'd get a pretty good margarita. While ordering, I requested a salted rim and received a frozen margarita with table salt. I could overlook the table salt if the margarita itself had been palatable. I don't like to waste things and attempted to finish this but decided it wasn't worth it and left my glass half full. I ordered guacamole and sopapillas for my fellow patrons. The guacamole was the most bland guacamole I have ever had in my entire life. There was no seasoning much less salt and pepper and certainly no lime juice. Only by adding the salsa did it improve in the slightest of capacity. The sopapillas we're laughable. The photo on the menu indicates a traditional dessert in the shape of a pillow. What I received instead were tortilla chips covered in cinnamon and sugar with a light smear of a jam and a bit of whipped cream. My bill did come to about $32 (I am including the tip as that I always tip wait staff ( it's not their fault of poor food quality.) I wouldn't be angry and writing this if I had enjoyed ANY part of what we were served. read more

Tequila's - Margarita, guacamole, and sopapilllas - Mexican Near Me - Simpsonville, South Carolina

Fairly good margaritas. Nice salsa bar. Service was spotty. Obnoxious HUGE signs at each table announcing how to pay & to go cup rules. Chile relleno was a total joke - 2 tiny pieces of chile smothered in white goo. Taco shell was stale, chicken was dry & over cooked. read more

Took my family from out of town here and regretted it! Uncle ordered tacos and had to pay extra for a side of rice. I ordered fajitas that came with the smallest portion of guacamole I've ever seen in my life....maybe the size of 2 quarters. And the food was over cooked and over seasoned. Our server was rude and she never checked on us. I asked for something and she was not happy about it. There are plenty of other Mexican options in town.....go to them instead! read more

Super happy we found this place! Food was good. Pretty par for the course not the best ever but not bad at all. The shining star was the margarita. We got a pitcher of the Texas margarita and I'm in love. I don't go to Mexican joints for the food. I go for the margaritas and this one hit the spot!! A beautiful golden color, perfectly mixed and just strong enough. Not overly sweet or sour for that matter. We will be back! read more

Tequila's - Texas margarita - Mexican Near Me - Simpsonville, South Carolina

Giving two stars because Margarita was good. Food was not! We were there for a late lunch.

Super good!! We got cheese dip, salsa, and fajitas! It was all great! The fajitas came with flour or corn tortillas, sour cream, lettuce, guacamole, rice & beans! My pineapple fajita was amazing. Steak, chicken, & shrimp cooked inside a pineapple, along with pineapple chunks threw in with the peppers and onions. All of it was great! Took away one star because our waiter was nowhere to be found a couple of times. And then when we asked for our check and boxes he disappeared for 15-20 minutes and the restaurant was completely dead. Other than that it was great & we will be back! read more

Food is decent, customer service was ok till the handle broke of my drink. They offered to replace drink I already bought. I had to walk out smelling like beer and looking like I pissed myself after spending $80. Head home take another shower and all they care about is the pay. Taco Bell is my new go to spot for Mexican food. read more

This is a great Mexican restaurant, and the owners/managers are fantastic if you ever have an issue or mixup with your food.

The service was great and the staff was attentive and friendly. The food was horrible. It was incredibly bland, which is the one thing Mexican food should never be. I am so confused by the 5 star reviews for this place. The food is bad and not even remotely authentic. I feel bad leaving a 1 star review because the staff were great, but seriously the food here was just so bad. read more

I personally judge most Mexican restaurants by the freshness and flavor of the margaritas and salsa. The first margarita tasted much like a cheap lemon lime mix. I asked if they had anything with real fruit so they made me a strawberry one. It was better, but still tasted like something from the freezer. The salsa was very ok. Not much flavor or spice. Overall the food is very ok as well. Nothing gross, but nothing great either. For the lunch price it was very good. I really liked the out door seating. Two Booths and several tables outside. Service was ok. They could have been a little more on top of my drinks and salsa. Not bad though. read more

5 stars because this is my wife's happy place! Anytime I ask where she wants to eat, this is the answer. I am not a fan of Mexican food but I love that they have other stuff that I can choose from. read more

I have eaten there several times and normally the food is amazing however today I had to send my plate back and I was called a cabaron by the waiter!! they lost a good client I will never be there again read more

The only reviews I'm seeing are really, really old so I'm assuming the management has changed since then. Time for a new review then and I think the folks are so busy eating there, they don't have time to post. Fantastic restaurant, friendly staff. The food is good (as in THIS IS TASTY!) and the quantities are great too. You simply HAVE to have the hand-tossed guacamole they prepare for you table-side. The 3 times I've been there I've ordered different things - from the giant cheese quesadilla to the mixed meat chimichangas. They serve the beers chilled and in frozen glasses. The salsas are awesome. In short, when I'm on the business trips, I hit it atleast once in the week! read more

Tequila's Platter is wonderful. Pablano stuffed with cheese & chicken fajita quesadilla. Perfection.

Only for gringos who will eat fake cheese sauce and micro ground beef and call it Mexican food. There really isn't much in the way of authentic food, and I've been told by the Latino population that Southerners really don't enjoy authentic food. I'm going to keep trying! read more

Awesome service, excellent food and our waitress even brought us a free dessert after our meal. Definitely worth going back when we visit again. read more

I actually like their food a lot but our waiter was horrible. He was rude and slammed our drinks on the table. He approached me aggressively and I told my boyfriend we probably should leave. It's so sad because place is good and looks pretty and athletic. I am afraid to go back and not looking forward to be approached with hostility. read more

This is my favorite mexican spot. The food is so good it makes me want to give a standing ovation every time I eat there. Highly recommend.

Sub-par food with the slowest service I have ever had in a Mexican restaurant. They apparently have unique definitions, too. Their chili relleno was not a stuffed poblano pepper, but some soupy, cheesy slop. The chalupa was something between a soft taco and a soft tostada.. The surly waitress brought pur drinks, eventually took our order, and the disappeared until she brought our check. Someone else brought the food, and the manager checked to see if "everything okay". No one checked to see if we neede refills, or anything additional. Loud, crowded, and less than clean. We will not be back; there are far too many other (better) Mexican restaurants in the area. read more

We love this restaurant! Beautiful decor inside and delicious food. Their fundido, queso, and salsa bar is fantastic. The servers are always on point and very nice. We love coming here! read more

This is our spot right here. Excellent food and service. Not much more I can say. Love this joint. They are so friendly in there.

Just ordered carry out. Tacos al carbon and nachos supreme. Said 10 mins to pick up. Got there in 10 mins. Waited another 15mins, which was ok. Got home and we had no cheese. No cheese on the tacos and yes NO CHEESE on my NACHOS. Ruined our dinner. read more

My sister discovered this place and we have been eating here weekly for the last couple of months. Large selection of items and affordable. Cannot think of a restaurant I have been to where the wait staff us as nice as at Tequila's. Almost always get a complimentary dessert sample with our check. This restaurant has become my favorite Mexican restaurant in the Greenville area. read more

Best Mexican food around! Staff makes you feel welcome as soon as you walk in the door. Food is served hot and fresh. Salsa is awesome! This is our 'go to' restaurant at least once a week. Large selection of dishes. Highly recommend! read more

Check your bill amount! This has been my go to Mexican restaurant in Simpsonville for a couple of years now but more recently I've had 2 separate occasions where I was overcharged by about 60-70% (I was charged $34 for what was supposed to be a $20 meal based on their menu prices). I would have brought this to their attention but it wasn't until we were already gone before the other person in my group mentioned that it seemed really expensive for what we ordered. The food isn't bad but from now on I will be going to one of the many other Mexican restaurants on Fairview rd. where I don't have to worry about them "padding" the total amount that I pay just because they're having a slow day. read more

Just ate at Tequila's. Terrible service, food was not good bland and cold!! Not going back.

Great place with authentic Mexican flavor, everyone there are super nice and happy to serve you. I got complementary dessert

Love this place! Great food and nice staff! But you can't leave without having their margaritas! Delicious and a great price!

TL;DR: Low quality food. Overcharged at checkout. Poor attitude of employees/owners. I have never had a more terrible experience than when I went to eat there on a busy Friday. The prices in the menu certainly didn't match the prices I was given upon check out. I bought 2 quesadillas and 2 soft tacos. Each on a 6" tortilla. Pathetic portions, low quality meat. I opened my taco to find ground beef you would find in a typical gas station chili. As if the food wasn't bad enough, I was nearly double charged the menu prices after waiting for 15 minutes in line to pay for my meal. The man proceeded to argue that 16 dollars was the price. I have a limited time for lunch and didn't want to make a scene. I stated I would pay, but wouldn't submit to eating there ever again. I strongly recommend everyone avoid this location. read more

I've yet to try something here that I haven't loved. Great food, fast and friendly service, and decent pricing keep us coming back.

The best Mexican in simpsonville! I recommend the nacho fajitas. The staff are so friendly and welcoming.

Great food, great service. You have to try the Molcajete meat platter, split between two, it's rather large. The carnitas tacos are very good as well. We've been here several times now, it's always good. read more
