Tekila Modern Mexican

Excellent service, excellent food, wonderful atmosphere! We will be back. Luis was our waiter and he was the absolute BEST! Although it took a minute to bring our entrees out, we were patient as this was expected for their second day opening. I can definitely see them needing to get some help in the kitchen because our food being delayed wasn’t because of our waiter. My husband and I are business owners so we know how it is. Luis made up for that by his utmost professionalism and sense of humor with his guests. The margaritas are fire 🔥!!! Luis checked on our table several times to make sure we were good and he was very welcoming. We will return soon!! Great job so far in my opinion. Make sure you don’t go around lunch time like everyone else or there will be an hour wait as expected for this restaurant in this particular area.

My wife and I chose to go for lunch Friday afternoon at Tekila around 2:30 thinking it would not be as busy. Restaurant appeared to be about 50% capacity and we were told 60-75 minute wait. We had couple of errands to run so that was fine, but I received a text 20 minutes later our table was ready. I felt like the hostess standard answer for wait time is to overestimate. This isn’t going to work for people on a lunch schedule. Upon being seated I realized the lunch and dinner menu are the same; no lunch options. Also a negative. Most items are served ala cart, chips and salsa extra. Our server did a very good job and the food was good, not great. 18% gratuity automatically added to our bill which I’m not a fan of if the service is not good. I didn’t catch this and tipped an additional 20%. Bar area looked spacious and appealing. Complimentary chips and salsa will help keep those drinks flowing which is a key to revenue for restaurants! We’ll give it another try for dinner as we want them to succeed, but it won’t be a weekly stop.

I ordered the fish tacos. My tortilla had more flavor than my fish BUT they tasted fresh which I liked. Chili's has better southwestern egg rolls😩 drinks were meh. Our waiter seemed annoyed from the start . My friend ordered a drink and it tasted like chemicals and syrup. (The manager did comp that drink). My drinks were pretty good though. There was 2 of us but 18% gratuity was included with the bill even though it's stated on the menu that that was only for parties of 6 or more. We ignored reviews and really wanted to have a good experience but overall it wasn't a good one. The inside was pretty and it did have beautiful patio.

The building is beautiful, the food was delicious, drinks were great, service wasn’t bad given the fact they were over crowded and I don’t think the business was prepared for the large crowd. My biggest issue is that the waiter lost my debit card. 😡. I canceled it of course before anyone used it but overall not bad. My recommendation is to hire More staff.
