Big portions. 2 people ate full meals for $40. The chicken is great, but the beef tips are fatty. Strange setup, where you pay at a counter up front when you order, then you sit down. It makes tipping confusing. Also, the location is complicated if you've never been there - it's in the back of the huge strip mall, not visible from Rte 3.

The staff is always so sweet and they do an amazing job. The food is delicious and has been for as long as we’ve been going there since 2008!! Try the chili poblano and fajitas. You won’t be disappointed

Great service and delicious food. More filling than I thought it would be.

If I give 4 stars it's still absolutely wonderful. I have to save 5 stars for the places that you want to give 6+ to, but can only give 5. Tequila is a great place to dine. They are super friendly, extremely fast and have very yummy food!! You do order your food at the counter and pay for it when you order, which is unique to what is customary for restaurants here in the US, but I have to admit, I like it! They get your food going right off the bat and when you are all done, no waiting to get your check and pay. You just leave! They do check on you while you're eating and they take away your dishes if need be and they bring you chips and salsa so it's not like a fast food place but more like an efficient dining experience!

Went to the Arnold location and realized they had another location and had to try it. Just as amazing. I got the same food here I did at the Arnold was and it was very good! The atmosphere is pretty mild and quiet. During dinner times it's a bit more loud with more crowd, which is understandable. Service is very good and attentive, and the staff is just trying to make sure everything is correct! Will be going back.
