Service was okay but the food was bland as can be. Salsa had no flavor along with most of the food. If you imagine how a school cafeteria would do Mexican that's this place. read more

Tequilaville is one of my family's favorite places to go for Mexican food. The prices are good, the portions are generous, and for myself and son who have issues with food allergies - I'd like to say the kitchen staff is excellent! We've never had difficulty with service, but if you go on a Friday or Saturday night when college is in session, be prepared for a wait of at least 30 minutes. While I've never ordered off their drink list I have seen multiple drinks being sent to other tables that are easily the size of my head!!! Overall we really enjoy the food, atmosphere, and family friendly service! read more

Good Mexican food. Will return. Good service and reasonable pricing on food. I like the salsa and chips.... very tasty! read more

Tequilaville - Mexican Near Me - Newark, Ohio

I absolutely love this place. I stop frequently on my way home from work when I'm just too tired to cook dinner and want something delicious and satisfying. The staff is always welcoming and attentive (and their Texas Margarita is awesome!). You can't beat their prices, service, or quality! I eat there once a week (at least)! read more

I was not impressed with the food at all. It was very bland. I had the pork verde and it was ok but the rice and beans had no flavor.

Went to Tequilaville tonight with my wife for our date night after having several co-workers recommended the place. I could not have been more impressed! This is not "On The Border" Mexican food. It is authentic, made fresh using fresh ingredients, like you were in someone's home in Mexico. The portions are very large (wife and I could have split my meal) and prices are reasonable. I may have had the most expensive "special" that had chicken, steak, shrimp, and chorizo an came with rice and beans and it was $11,99 The service was just as good. We were greeted as soon as we walked in, taken to a table, and the server was at our side taking our drink order. If you live within 45 minutes of Newark and like Mexican food you have to try this place! read more

Authentic Mexican Cuisine. Super Food! Awesome Margaritas!

I am still in shock from our experience tonight. The restaurant was crowded and we patiently waited for our turn on the "list." After watching the seating of table after table of people that arrived after us we complained. We were told by J.R. that other staff sat those tables and there was nothing he can do about it. We decided to leave and I commented that we would each tell 25 people about our experience. J.R.'s response was that he didn't care, they had plenty of business. I have never experienced that type of attitude from someone providing "customer service." This restaurant is new and novel, but in a tough location. I have eaten there before and the food is okay, but not great. I expect the popularity won't last long with this type of service. Locals may remember the demise of the Del Mar. We went across the street and ate at Alison's and had great service and food! read more

This place is great for getting together with family and friends. The food was good and prices are reasonable. Since it was my birthday, I received a choice of fried ice cream or flan for my free dessert. read more

So, we decided of course because it was Cinco de Mayo, we should be festive and go find some Mexican food. After using my handy Yelp search for Mexican and full bar in Newark or Heath, this was the only place that seemed to have a full bar. (As it should with a name like Tequilaville) Let me just state this for the record. My expectations were set super low. I mean, how good can Mexican food be in Ohio? In Florida, it wasn't the best, but we found a few gems. Also, we are really picky when it comes to Mexican food because my husband lived in Mexico for four years and knows how it's supposed to taste. We both were very pleasantly surprised at the quality and authenticity of the food. The only reason I rate this 3 stars is simply because the service sucked... especially for sitting at a bar that seats 7 people. There wasn't one person working the bar and it was basically mayhem. I'm not going to fault them for this because it was a holiday. It took us 10 minutes to get chips and salsa. My husband ordered salsa roja (basically their house salsa on steroids, very hot.) which was wonderful. Great flavor, nice kick. I mixed some in with the house salsa and I was super happy. We decided on a pitcher of Texas Margaritas, 2 cheese chili poblanos and Texas Fajitas for 1. **I specify the fajitas for 1 because they do have fajitas for 2 options on the menu. The chili poblanos were fantastic and actually authentic. Not the chili relleno garbage you get in most Mexican restaurants. The fajitas were great. Only complaint is they only give 3 tortillas, I would have liked 4 so we could split evenly. It was the perfect amount of food for us and we were satisfied and full. On top of that, it was very reasonably priced. We were able to get that and 2 take out orders for about $50. You really can't beat that. We will definitely be returning! read more

Excellent food ! The price is cheap, the portions are not. I highly recommend the Tequilaville Special ! It was enough for 2 people. The margaritas are pretty good also. read more

Weak margaritas. Zero flavor with the carnitas. Stale chips. Filthy. And the air conditioner seemed broken.

5stars because 10 wasn't an option. The margaritas are exceptionally delicious and the salsa is just as good. read more

Great food great price..like eating at my grandmas house everyone was friendly and took good care of us.only downside was a couple of screaming kids that would screech so loud and make your hair stand up..but I'm sure they won't be here next time we come!! Hubby got the chicken tacos with good flavor..I got the carne asada and the steak was tender and onions grilled to perfection..worth the ride here read more

Love the food and margaritas! Staff are good but a little bit slow sometimes. Friendly though and always worth the visit. Never had to wait longer than about 10 minutes for a table. read more

Great food, fast service, never disappointed! Even when the place is crowded we hardly have to wait at all for our food. The servers have always been attentive! The chips are served warm and the salsa has a nice kick to it! I love the fajita quesadilla. I've gotten the steak, and my husband gets the chicken every time. Amazing! We make sure to order the house-made hot sauce to add to our quesadillas for some extra spice! The stuffed poblano is ordered as a side, and is very tasty. I like the cheese stuffed poblano and the chicken version too! I love to wrap up the meal with an order of flan. It's so creamy and delicious! I can't wait to go back! read more

When we went there I was expecting less expensive Mexican food. We got that and higher quality food than expected. I would definitely go back! Gold beer and good steak quesadilla read more

I ordered the chimichangas and my daughter got shrimp and scallop fajitas. I was excited to try this place because I had only heard good things about it. Food was good but service was AWFUL. I would have given 3 1/2 4 stars for food but service was soooooo bad. My friend got up to find someone for refills. I got up to find someone to ask for the check and went clear into the kitchen without finding a soul. read more

We tried to eat here on a Saturday night at 7pm. We called ahead to see how long the wait would be. We were told there was no wait. We were literally pulling in the parking lot when we called. We unloaded our very young baby in the rain and walked in just to find out there was a 30+ min wait. I felt like they lied to just get more people into the restaurant. There was literally 6-7 parties in front of us and they could not of walked in in the 45 seconds it took us to walk from the car. I will not be back. read more

This is one of my favorite places to eat and I can't believe there Arby's more reviews. You almost have to make a reservation most times because they are so busy and delicious. They do try their best to get you seated and fed. The did is very tasty and the employees are very great at what they do as well as customer service. Highly recommend. read more

Enjoyed a beer and food at the bar with a coworker while we are staying in town. The chips and salsa didn't have much spice but it was prepared well. The food is priced well in my opinion. I left stuffed, fulfilled, and under 10 bucks. Coworker seemed to like his meal too. Typical mexican food on the menu. There was only one server and we came right when there was a large lunch rush so kudos to him for taking care of everyone. read more

This place was actually pretty yummy for what it is! It's a bit divey but we all enjoyed our food. My fajita sampler with chorizo was great! We walked there from the Marriott- very glad we ended up here. read more

This is my go to mexican stop. I really enjoy the chicken sausage tropical dish. Its soooo good. The prices are very reasonable. The atmosphere is okay, they could use an update. The restaurant can get very busy on friday or saturday night. read more

We weren't quite sure what to expect when we picked to eat here. It was our first time trying somewhere due to Yelp ratings, and I have to say we weren't disappointed! The staff had a great attitude, not at all overbearing nor did they tend to hover. Once seated, we were beverage strong within a nanosecond, with a very large sized "medium" mango margarita, served Texas style, on the rocks, and it was absolutely fantastic. This place is also conveniently located next to a motel (they share a parking lot, which can make parking dicey, but this is not enough to cost a 5 star rating) should you need to sleep off your dinner, but one of these will keep 2 casual diners happy for the duration of the meal. The menu is available online and we checked it out before departing (30 minute drive for us but we like coming to this area over where we live), and I picked the Tequilaville Special, which is reviewed elsewhere on this site. She chose the enchiladas supreme. The wait for the entrees was to be expected due to the time of evening and capacity of guests, but the wait was worthwhile. Everything tasted fresh, more than ample portions, excellent prices, and the food actually had flavor (a rarity in the Mexican restaurants located in the region and surrounding areas). I can't wait to come back and try something different. I highly recommend making this a regular in your dining rotation, I know I will be. They do take-out too, judging by the droves of people leaving with very large bags full of what was no doubt packages of deliciousness. Potential parking shenanigans that could occur notwithstanding, the only gripe I can find is that the restroom seems a bit low rent sketchy. They're located downstairs, around a corner and down a dimly lit hallway with a cage door on one side (likey a party room, or possibly zombie timber wolf storage, it was dark & there weren't any signs posted, so draw your own conclusions), then upon opening the bathroom door, you have to open ANOTHER door to then actually get into the restroom. It had a serious "Resident Evil" vibe to it, but then I realized it was a standard restroom, & reasonably clean. Just saying, use the buddy system if you take your kids. This experience was not at reason to ding them a star. This place is great, give it a shot, and I hope to see you there! read more

The ads for margaritas made without mixes brought us in, but didn't quite deliver. It was way too sweet, which is generally a dead giveaway of the use of mixes. I ordered the chicken/steak fajitas, which were really dry and sliced really thin. My husband's shrimp meal also had tiny salad shrimp. They did have free chips and salsa, so there's that. read more

This place is outstanding. The owners make you feel and treat you like family from the time your enter the restaurant till the time you leave. Fresh quality food and theeeee best Margarita recipe in town. No Triple Sec all real fresh fruit juices which in my world equals zero heartburn. A true A+ product at a C- rate for your wallet. read more

If I could give a zero I would. This has been my family's go-to local restaurant for fajitas, dining in and taking out until the pandemic which we've only taken out. The last time we ordered the forgot our chips and salsa. Cool. Not a deal breaker. Today, I ordered fajitas for two with some extras and a taco salad. Upon opening the bags we found several mistakes. We did not get several items we ordered: a side of guacamole & 2 sides of beans. We also had an extra taco salad which we realized we paid for!! Upon calling to see how we could rectify the guy hung up on me not once but twice. Told me the Mgr wasn't in and that I ordered 2 taco salads when 2 ppl in the room I was in clearly heard me order 1. He told me he would do nothing for me. After telling him that he would be loosing our frequent business he then hung up again. I called a third time and no answer. We were floored. At a time when we are trying to support local businesses this will no longer be one. Shameful. read more

I recently had dinner at Tequilaville with a large party and had a wonderful experience. Our waiter, Felipe, was personable, efficient, and very attentive to our party. We had margaritas and salsa and chips. I had the "coronarita" which Felipe recommended to me and it did not disappoint. A little known fact is there a room in the basement that can be reserved for special occasions. I had a fantastic time and I highly recommend it. Ask for Felipe. read more

Don't waste your time. Not a great menu and cleanliness is not an attribute. Drive an extra few miles to Granville to experience a great Mexican restaurant. Will not be disappointed with Day Y Noche. read more

Favorite restaurant in Licking County. Best margaritas I've ever had and the queso blanco is phenomenal.

This place is consistently good Mexican. Not fabulous but good. Thr staff are friendly and accommodating. Their portions are large enough to satisfy. They have some specials definitely worth trying. Reasonably priced as well. read more

Great food, great service. Full bar. Large selection of Mexican food, including vegetarian. I got the pollo tropical, tasted amazing. Husband got the pollo Yucatan, which had him raving about the sauce that came on it. Will definitely be back soon! read more

This place is fantastic. The staff is friendly, prices are reasonable, and plenty of seating, even if you have a large group.

We have several friends who are vegetarians and they love this place too. read more

Tequilaville - Great Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Newark, Ohio

Just ate here and had a great time. Margaritas start at $4 every day and the food was less than $10 in most cases. Service was a little rough as there were only 2 servers for the whole place on a Sat night but they got it done. I got the Molcajete and it was AMAZING and only 12.99. I left stuffed. The food was good quality and quantity is definitely not an issue. If you want to keep good food in Newark then get to Tequilaville. read more
