La Tequila Cocina de México Av México

My favorite restaurant in Guadalajara. The food here is exceptional from the appetizers to the dessert. They even grow a lot of their own vegetables and herbs. The ambiance is cheerful yet relaxing. It is a great place to hang out with friends, yet it does not get too loud that you can't enjoy a nice conversation. The food and ambiance are not the only thing special about La Tequila. The staff there make you feel special by the service they provide. They are attentive and ready to serve with a smile. The managers Adrian and Eric take the time to ensure your visit was enjoyable. It was great meeting Adrian and listening to his passion for cooking and the details he added to make your dining experience special. They also have wait staff like Bruno who is quick with a warm greeting and a dedication to service rarely seen. On top of all this the complimentary food items are fantastic. When I am in Guadalajara this is a must place to go for me.

Really nice spot to spend a night if you are in Guadalajara. The waiters are super nice and ready to help you through the menu. Everything was amazing: the brisket tacos, the sheep barbatoa. Special thanks to David, our waiter for the night!

Great, authentic Mexican food with an interesting twist! Never had a bad mediocre here, and their tequila samplers are always fun to try...Can't go wrong here!

Loved our dining experience here! The service was amazing from the time we walked in until we left. The drinks were great and the food was also really good! We had the mole chicken and the chile en nogada, and they both were fantastic! Would definitely recommend this spot for dinner.

Although we were worried this was a tourist trap, everything here was amazing!! It was so good that we went back twice. Valentin was our waiter the first night, and he was fantastic. The drinks, the food, the service were incredible. (I especially recommend the maracuyá margarita, cantarito, chile relleno norteño, and brisket tacos!! Oh, and the flan!! Honestly though you can’t go wrong with anything you choose here!!) All top-notch! We didn’t have a single bad dish or experience. Definitely recommend La Tequila! And given the quality of the food and service, the prices are very reasonable. We will definitely visit again our next time in Guadalajara!! Thank you, La Tequila!!!

Wow experience! It was my first time and I really enjoy the whole place and the food. From food to ambience everything was great. The staff at this place is really helpful and responsive. I tried their Chicken with three cheese and pork ribs both dishes were delicious and flavorful. The drinks we ordered were delicious too. The staff here speaks English.

What a great experience! Amazing service, flight of tequilas with an abundance of variety and different flavors. Dinner was amazing and guess what? More tequila for dessert. Truly memorable.

The place was a cute spot. If you want to try Mexican food in my opinion, I would give their cocktails three stars too sweet for my tasting. They make salsa from scratch they ask you what level of heat you’d like it they have a lot of vegetarian options since someone from our party was vegetarian overall, good experience

Excelente variedad de tequilas sin aditivos , servicio muy bueno es más súper bueno , comida deliciosa , gracias a todo el personal por su atención y su servicio . Especialmente agradecidos con Carlos Hernández que nos atendió muy bien y nos encantó su servicio excelente .

La Tequila - A Tourist Trap That Works La Tequila is one of those places you take a foreign guest when you want to impress them with something that feels like Mexico. The food is decent, nothing extraordinary, but it's plated and prepared in ways that are clearly designed to catch the eye, and justify the tourist pricing. It's the classic tourist trap of Guadalajara, and they knows it. Expect to pay a premium for average dishes with a creative twist. That said, it's not entirely bad -- it does what it promises: a nice ambiance, colorful presentation, and a wide menu. The service ranges from good to excellent, depending on how generous they think your tip will be. Overall, it's not a place locals visit often, but it serves its purpose well.

First night in Guadalajara and we picked a place close to our hotel. What a great place! Service was impeccable Food was amazing Our waiter was amazing and provided great input Ambiance is incredible This is a must try spot for me and we for sure will be here again before we leave

This is a top spot for me in Guadalajara. Food, ambiance, and service are all very good. I've been here twice on two different trips here. We usually start out with table-side made salsa and guacamole. Margaritas are a must here! Prices here are on the high end for Guadalajara, but still very reasonable compared to the US. I can't recommend this place enough. Give it a try when in Guadalajara.

This was my favorite in Guadalajara. However, many things have changed. The service was excellent from our waiter Victor. The Maitre d Adrian was very willing to listen to suggestions to make it a 5* again. While the food is very good, the experience is no longer what it used to be. In the past, they had a tequila pairing of 8 courses with choices for each. In addition, the Tequila Shrimp used to be flambé table side (the experience is gone) making them succulent, but now it comes to the table plated and a bit dry. Now to review what was really good tonight - the "Quesadilla de la Esquina" - They are 4 delicious fried tortillas with different vegetarian fillings (peppers, mushroom, zucchini, huitlacoche also known as corn mushroom or Mexican truffle). The quesadilla looks like an empanada and is made with black masa (corn).

The food and tequila pairing was a fun experience. Sadly we were misinformed at the start of our service of the pairing. We were told everyone (5 of us) could chose whichever 7 plates we wanted to eat and after we all placed different orders we were told we needed to collectively decided on our 7 plates. They said because it was an off day (Friday) the don't usually do this menu tasting, but they are giving us the opportunity to try it.(doesn't make sense, why would you offer it in the first place then?) The ambiance was peaceful. The entrance was nice with the clear glass underground cellar. The kids play center felt like it didn't belong, but if you don't have a sitter it's a great choice. The food was still good 4/5 Service was lacking 2/5 Ambiance 3/5

Good service great food love dessert every time I go the experience fill my expectation

Beautiful building in a central location. Hundreds of choices of Tequila. Foods are very tasty. Chiles En Nogoda is very unique and good. Typical Mexico local foods! Worth of return next time.

Absolutely incredible meal. A gourmet taste of proper Mexican cuisine. I'm sad to think I can't get anything remotely close to this at home.

The food was amazing. The service and ambiance were truly professional. The only thing that was shocking is that the families that had children allowed them to run and play through out the restaurant. The parents had no respect for the other patrons who were there for the experience. Maybe something the management should address.

This place was amazing!!! It was recommended by a friend who lives in Guadalajara and it is definitely worth a 5 star review ... It is a very popular restaurant, so I would recommend making a reservation if you are going on a busy night ... We did not have reservations and went late on a Thursday night, luckily they had a cancelation and were able to accommodate us... The staff was amazing, they were very helpful and gave us great recommendations of the most popular items on the menu... We were a group of 6, so we ordered a few different items on the menu to share and try a little bit of everything... The drinks were all very good, they had their signature drinks with tequila or mezcal that were all tasty and refreshing... All the food we ordered was so good, my favorite were the shrimp tacos with crickets in them... We also ordered crickets, and the larva... Some of the items on the menu are different than the things we are use to eating, but even though we stepped out of our comfort zone everything we ate was amazing.. I definitely recommend trying this restaurant and all the authentic gourmet dishes they have..

Super good! Our hotel was a block away and we were tired of driving and we sure lucked out. This place is wonderful. Dinner began with a complimentary cup of shrimp soup and salsa made tableside and freshly made chips. My wife ordered a margarita which she said was the best she ever had! She loved her fish taco appetizer. I ordered the chapulines quesadilla on a blue corn tortilla. I thought the hearty taste of the tortilla covered up the meatiness of the chapulines- boo! We both ordered the barbacoa that was terrific. I was so full but I pushed my way thru because I didn't want to leave anything. The complimentary tequila icecream Great service, lively vibe- a real winner!

Excellent service and absolutely amazing food. Everyone in my party commented that this was their favorite restaurant of all the restaurants we visited during our stay. Adults and teens. The menu satisfied both the carnivores and herbivores in our group. We will be back.

Great ambiance, food was fantastic. I enjoyed everything the table ordered to share. The queso fundido was great, brisket tacos and mole on point! Can't wait to come back to Guadalajara to eat here again

The best of plans can get hijacked, but this story has a happy ending. We needed to have our COVID testing done one day before flights. Finding an approved location and time slot was its adventure but it necessitated that we partake in dinner close by the pharmacy and testing. La Tequila with its high number of Google reviews cross-referenced with the 4 stars and 75 Yelp reviews seemed to be the logical choice. I decided to make reservations 24 hours in advance for a party of three. I shortly received a confirmation of my reservation via WhatsApp. Check, check, and check. What could go wrong? Flash forward to the next day and everything that could go wrong did including receiving a cancellation WhatsApp test message from La Tequila while on the route in an Uber to the restaurant. This is a stunning restaurant The outside facade is grandiose and proper and being 7 pm on a Friday, it was busy. There were a few waiting patrons inside and in the lobby. We let the staff know about the cancellation and were very accomodating. Ignacio was our waiter and was very patient, courteous, and polite. We all ordered drinks and the chips and salsa arrived. The salsa was not spicy but was packed with flavors. The salsa was not your typical Pico de Gallo gringo salsa which I was very thankful for. We ordered through our phones and noticed immediately that the La Tequila's menu offering offered many of Mexico's regional and culturally significant dishes. Mole from Oaxaca Beef seasoned with traditional flavors of Jalisco Fish seasoned and prepared with traditional flavors of Veracruz Molcajetes in a variety of options including vegetarian. We decided to order two appetizers Chalupas and Seared Grilled Cheese These Chalupas Poblanos are not your TB chalupas made famous with a trio of speaking Chihuahua. Three green and three red, in a fried tortilla with shredded beef and onion. Excellently seasoned and just the right portion of onions and meat. We noticed from a distance that a server was performing tableside guacamole and we each look at each other, laughed, and commented that it was a rip. Within minutes, it was us who were the fools. It's not tableside guacamole but rather table-side salsa for our meals There are about six containers and a Molcajete, the 'salsa guy' will ask you if you want mild, medium, or spicy. For a moment, I entertained the spicy, but we all agreed on medium. The 'salsa-guy' takes all the ingredients and makes fresh salsa right before your eyes. This is not new for me as my wife prepares salsa twice a week to my delight but to watch someone else do it was pure magic. Congratulations to the 'salsa-guy' as the salsa was a fireworks display of favors and even garnered two thumbs up from my wife. As a medium spicy profile, it still had some kick and would be tolerated for most. NOTE: I regularly have my wife use habaneros combined with other chiles to make salsa. While I could drink this salsa most Americans would just need a spoonful for their dinner. Moments later the second appetizer arrived. Burnt cheese. Grilled panela cheese. With green sauce, avocado and tortillas tatemadas al comal. Strips of grilled cheese arrived with their salsa. This salsa was bright green and had chucks of avocados that gently waded inside. Our culinary adventure continued with the two Molcajetes. One was a meat combination, and the other was vegetarian. Technically it was veganized. We asked for the panela cheese that usually is bathed in the Molcajete to be placed on the side. Not only was the request granted but understood and respected. My veganized Molcajete was filled with grilled mushrooms, grilled bell peppers, grilled cactus, and grilled squash plus other veggies. The salsa broth inside was a beautiful symphony of flavors. My wife and daughter enjoyed their skirt steak, chorizo, and other ingredients plus a huge stick of melting panela cheese. Ignacio with the help of another server expertly placed these medium-sized volcanic rock dishes that were boiling on our plates with precision and care. We were all given large serving spoons to 'fish' out our contents from the Molcajetes. It was one of the best veggies Molcajetes I have ever had. I left no trace of salsa inside We concluded our dinner with a dessert. It was a simple yet complicated Corn Flan Custard. A very Mexican flan prepared with natural corn. La Tequila is a destination dinner and had I listened to my wife who reminded me of the sign above the door at the entrance that warns of having a bad attitude is not welcomed, I would have been more forgiving and friendly. In the end, the staff was professional, courteous, and overall, the service and the food were Yelp 5 Star worthy.

Great meal. Incredible service. An awesome tequila selection. Delicious cocktails. Lovely ambience. The marinated pork shank and the ice cream--wow! So grateful to the local lady in line earlier that day who recommended it!

The quality of the food was really great. The drinks were also very tasty and they had a great selection to pick from. The only minor complaints would be that the service was slow for the restaurant being ~35% occupied and the steak that I ordered was not up to the quality that I like, this particular cut was most half fat that left little actual steak, but what I did have of the steak was very tasty and well seasoned. I think a revisit is appropriate, but it will require a different selection of plates. And maybe dinner service is a little better as I did hear some raving reviews of this place.

The last time I went here, was my favorite one. The cocktails are really good with a mexican twist, I loved the hibiscus tequila one. What I really enjoy on this restaurant is when the waiter custom makes a salsa depending on our table taste. The service is always on point. We order the "Chile en Nogada" that is a very special dish in mexico and everyone loved it. And the best dessert is the "Volcan de dulce de leche" too good not to order it. The restaurant has a very elegant vibe.

We came for dessert and decided to stay for dinner instead. La Tequila has a variety of options. My favorite was the tacos de Cameron con costra de chapulin. I have had shrimp tacos before but never like this. The shrimp was super crunchy but not a hard crunchy, rather a sort crunchy which made it a delight to eat. Every bit was packed with flavor. You get four shrimp tacos and a side of guacamole paste/salsa. It was a good spicy and made every bite that much more enjoyable. My mouth had not experienced a burst of delicious flavors in a long time. I will definitely be coming back.

A very nice restaurant with a very nice atmosphere. I came here with a party of 4 with a reservation set. The staff members are very accommodating and even got me an English menu as I can barely survive reading their Spanish menu. I got the Suckling Pig in Pulque Sauce. The pork was baked slowly to preserve it's juices, in a sauce made of dried chilies and pulque. The meal was served with guacamole and refried beans. I also got the Poblanas Chalupas where you get six chalupas: three green and three red served on fried tortilla with shredded beef and chopped onions. This with their handmade chili sauce which they make in front of you makes this taste amazing. When they made the chili paste, you get to choose how hot or mild you want it and of course I went for the spicy side. Overall, a very lovely experience where you get to catch up with folks, friends, family while you get to experience some good food. Would recommend this place to anyone.

All I can say is you will not regret it. Tried the arrachera, mole negro, iced tea, had a nice glass of wine, then topped the meal off with a cappuccino, cafe de olla and fried ice cream. If I could have eaten more I totally would have! Will be back to continue sampling their great food/menu items. Service, ambiance and cleanliness was also top notch. Thank you to all the wait staff that were super attentive and pleasant.

Usually, when you think of Mexican joints, you envision a blaring trumpet section in the Grupo El Troopo killing all conversaton, a bank of blaring TV's running replays of Las Chavas v. Tigres UANL and the crowd acting as one organism swilling shooters to rival Hooters. The best you can hope for is that there is no leader. Here instead of Millennials going batshit, it's Jose Luis Guerra doing Bachata. No chubby Mariachi's belting out, "One Ton Tomato, I Wanna One Ton Tomato", whether you wanna hear it or not for the fourth time. Many Mexican restaurants simply serve Frat House food to keep the rabble occupied between wet T-Shirt Contests and Jalapeno Popper eating stunts. Not here. This place is sophisticated and adult. The kitchen is bold but respectful of the heat they wield. Mexican party chow is elevated to haute cuisine. The interior is expansive and richly appointed. Auspicious, yet elegant, punctuated by antiques and comfortable seating. There is a main dining area and plenty of alcoves for something naughty or nice, but first you must cross the glass floor over the wine cellar two stories below. Kinda like walking the ladder over a crevasse on the Khumbu Glacier on your way to Everest. Close your eyes and merrily skip...which works for either one. The Vibe: Perfect for that first or third date. Who goes there? Locals who want to be reminded how wonderful really good Mexican food can be and then there are some Trip Advisees not brave enough to run the gauntlet of traffic to get to La Chata. Here just drop the rented Ford Fiesta keys with the Valet and waltz in like you were a partner. The Staff: Patient enough to guide timid tourists through the extensive menu. Uniformed waiters operating like a close order drill to the muted sounds of the 60's. Celia Cruz still sounds fine after all those years. The Bar Program: Some signature Margs and a wine list as long as Hickling's The Conquest of Mexico. The Tamarind Margie came in an old time malt glass prolonging the brain freeze. The Food: No corporate, chain, pre-portioned dishes here. Everything is made in house to order. First, there is an Aperitivo (amuse bouche to you). A demitasse of Spicy Chili Soup to open your pores and taste buds. Okay, they're all wide awake now. Then a basket of hot breads follows quickly, once that they have your attention. The Salsa Cart arrives like a rich kid in Dad's Porsche. Do you want Baby Formula or Battery Acid? Just state your preference and the molcajete mash is made before your eyes to your specs. Do they know what they're doing? Not a dot of tomat on the dude's shirt half way through his shift. Yeah, he knows. Not even Moctezuma got that kind of treatment before and certainly not after the Spaniards arrived. I asked for "Hot" and everything that could sweat...sweat. Oh, so Sabroso. The Tlacoyo was a (Blue Suede Shoe) Blue Corn Huarache buried in mild but piquant Chintextle (Oaxacan dry chili) and fresh vegetables. The Grilled Vegetable Salad featured, well, grilled vegetables from the restaurant's atrium garden. Drink a third Marg and you can see the stuff grow. The salad also had fist sized charred Panela Cheese chunks. I built a little house with them on the table and then played wrecking ball with my lips. The Bullring Tacos were mainly manly. Carne Asada and Al Pastor with Chicharron Dust and all the correct add-ons. (Crema, Radishes, Shredded Lettuce, and different Salsa). The Panuchos (gezundheit) had Frijoles Frito, Chininita Pibil con Salsa. From Quintana Roo to stop the show. They did. Pollo in Pepian Mole (Pepitas, Tomatillos, Onions and Yerbasanta) was wonderful. A plump breast awash in a vibrant sauce wrapped in Plantain Tortillas which were a spiritual experience. They were too hot touch but you're tough...and lubricated...pick it up. Do it. Do it now! The pace is slo-mo, so "no mo fo me," I said, until someone whispered. "Dessert is coming." Did I pay gym dues? Oh, who cares? Flan d'Elote was just as advertised. Flan of corn and pretty good. Alas, not PIe de Elote. For that you must go to the Banana Bar at the Camino Real Hotel in Mazatlan up the coast and hope there is a slice left for you. It's okay to beg, in fact it's expected. And just when you thought the food fight was over and your corner through in the towel, out comes a shot glass of icy Lemon Sorbet. Now how classy is that? No Cilantro Chili breath for that good night kiss. So, when the Federales pull you over admit you over did it at La Tequila...as you should.

Amazing food, ambiance, service, and tequila. I came to eat here while visiting Guadalajara for a few days. It was a random choice after searching for 'best Mexican food' close to my location. What an amazing find! The place is spacious, well lit, nicely decorated, and cozy. It can accommodate small and large parties alike. The service was very good, and the staff is regularly smiling and in good vibes. Well, when they are not being rushed by rude, hungry patrons. The Tequila: this is why I came here. Best tequila variety I have seen in Guadalajara. From mainstream labels and brands down to artisan tequila you will be hard-pressed to find anywhere else. Spending one night only in GDL and want to experience tequila? This is your place! Food: out of this world delicious and authentic. Can't recommend it more than any other place in GDL. I was there back in November and had not had time to sit down and write my review. Hope it is still as amazing as it was for me.

Great upscale Mexican restaurant. Wonderful wait staff. Great top line menu. Drink menu is also great.

Great food and ambiance, highly recommend , a must visit if you're in the area. They have high end tequila and other drinks to savor your taste buds

Tonight's appetizers and dessert consisted of crickets, ant larve, worms and a regular flan at @ restaurant. Typically you would make tacos with these delicacies but I just preferred to snack on them. My favorite was the crickets! It went perfect with their bread roll stuffed with sour cream. It was a very interesting experience and if you are looking for a unique experience while in #guadalajara this is a good place to go for appetizers! Staff was friendly, spoke English and attentive. We had a party of 11 and were served fairly quickly.

Nice place. They come to the table and make the salsa en molcajete which was one of the yummiest salsas I've had at a restaurant. The fish was not on the menu but it was very flavorful. We tried the escamol as appetizer but nada que ver. No flavor.

Muy rico y con buen servicio muchas opciónes para los vegetarianos. Recomiendo los mil ajetes y sopes de tuétano.

Now here's a place to party! The restaurant opens into a lounge with three walls covered with varieties of tequila, an amazing site by itself. The floor space between the lounge and the restaurant dining place is covered with glass, that offers a view of a room below of a wine cellar. Incredible! The servers are fun and ready to accept the challenges of "hotter" spice needed. The menu is filled with exquisite dishes. I stayed away from the grasshopper taco - but tried pretty much some of everything else on it. My first experience with molé, delicious! The evening ended with a hot chocolate lava cake, with vanilla ice cream, which may be the best I've had so far. Definitely recommend this place for a visit.

Amazing food and service!! Gracias Valentín por su servicio. Disfrutamos muchísimo de todo. Definitivamente regresaremos!!!

Great food at great prices! I sampled a few of their tacos and the barbacoa as well as the hibiscus margarita. Everything was delicious and Valentin was awesome!

5 stars! What an amazing experience at La Tequila. The food was delicious (get the stuffed plantains), but I was most impressed by the top notch service I received from Marisol and Alexis. Everyone was so attentive and customer focused - it was the best service I've ever experienced. I did not have any tequila, but the list seemed quite impressive. Thank you for making my last night in Guadalajara so memorable.

Very good place , good service !! And good food!! I will go back if I come to Guadalajara again!

It was my first time to this restaurant and had no expectations, but to enjoy myself with a new experience. The entrance is very nice with an incredible display of tequilas. I didn't expect the interior to be so bright for my dining experience, a little dimmer would have been better. I really like that the salsa is made table side to your liking with as much or as little different chilies. Tequila is their main specialty to enjoy as much as you can and experience the serving process. I recommend "Fortaleza". The appetizer I had was "Sopitos de Tuetano" they are a must try with a green salsa on the side. I order as my entre "Tequila Shrimp" I thought it was very good with a combination of vegetables and the taste is not at all what I expected.

Loved this place. Great staff and fantastic food. The soup was brought and prepared in front of me at my table. I ordered a steak and thinking back it was so good, I should've brought a table full back with me to U.S. Wish they'd bring one of these to my town!

The best food and tequila in Guadalajara. Went there 2 days in a row. The first night Eddie, a manger took time to speak to us about the diff tequilas. The 2nd night he saw us come in and directed one of his staff to take good care of us! Excellent meat and vegetarian options. And a huge tequila menu that will blow your mind. Our bartender Judith brought over bottles of of tequila to our table to look at and try and made our experience extra special. She recommended some of the best tasting tequilas I have ever had. Don't forget to try their homemade ice cream Wonderful hospitality and even accommodated our lack of español.

If you love meat and I mean real high quality meat you'll love this place. This place was delicious and the service was amazing.

While walking in, the first thing that catches your attention is the glass floor winery. You can see right thru it, pretty darn cool. Wonderful atmosphere. Aside from that, we were greeted and seated right away. Service was amazing and food was great. I got the mixed molcajete that had all three shrimp, beef and chicken. Had no complains about this place what's so ever. PS: A huge Menu with a bunch of different options so be prepared to choose one because they all sound amazing ;)

Great place, amazing food. We went with the two dishes our waiter recommended and they were so good. My husband got barbacoa and I got stuffed chicken breast. We ordered 2 shots and two Paloma's and the service was great. They were filled to the rim! Definitely go here. They have a small place area for the kids. And the tequila sorbet at the end was so so good!

The hostess got on the phone instead of trying to find a way to accommodate our party of 9. There was 9yr old with us and they would not allowing on the second floor since he is under age. My grandparents and parents were there. The hostess did not even made an effort to speak to the general manager to see if it was possible to allow us to stay and do dinner. I like the food there but today they made a really bad impression.

Beautiful atmosphere and authentic mexican cuisine options! There are endless tequila options and a good mix of mexican food entrees. I ordered a tamarind flavored margarita and chicken breast with four cheeses. The drink had a nice sweet/spicy taste and the dinner was the perfect combination of cheeses.

This past Saturday, November 4th, I brought my family to have dinner at La Tequila and celebrate my sister's birthday. I had made a reservation via their online site and I followed up with an email where I described the reason for this dinner and my request to have a server that spoke English, since a person of my party didn't speak Spanish, and that I would like a dessert with a candle brought at the end of the dinner. I received an email confirming that, yes, they do have servers that speak English and one would be available for our dinner. The day for the dinner came and I arrived with my family. We were quickly seated next to the bar and our server arrived to take our drink orders, but we didn't have menus yet. I noticed that he didn't speak English, as we were told our server would, so I had to translate for my friend. Once we got the menus, I had to request one in English for my friend. All the food items looked lovely and we quickly knew what to order, but the server was nowhere to be found. Once he arrived, we had to request a cocktail menu, since none had been provided for us. We order drinks and I saw them be made quickly, since we were seated in front of the bar. But then they sat there for a long time, as once again, our server was nowhere to be seen. 20 minutes went by before he finally showed up again, and brought our drinks. Our food arrived, it was good, and we ate happily. No dessert was offered so we had to ask for the dessert menu. I was hoping this would signal that I wanted the dessert with the candle I had requested on my reservation and follow up email, but when the desserts arrived, none of them had a candle. I was clearly upset, so we asked for the check, paid quickly, and left. I was utterly disappointed in the service at this place. It truly overshadowed everything else, the food, the cocktails (both good). I had such high hopes for this place and was and big disappointment.

Very good Mexican food with lots of options to choose from (maybe even too many!). I just had margaritas but the drinks looked all lovely. Prices absolutely in the cheap range.

great foods, great service, extremely hard-working people who just want to please and make your eating experience to the next level. highly recommend this classy and lovely restaurant(s).

muy buen servicio. y precios buenos ...

I went to this restaurant with a mexican friend and all I can say it is a pretty fancy restaurant / bar. It is not cheap compared to other restaurants in mexico but it is definitely worth every cent. The service was really amazing and paying attention to the need of everyone. One second you finished your bottle of beer, the next second the waiter asked if you want to have a new one and not more then 1 second later you had a new one standing on the table ready to be enjoyed. The food is also great, unfortunately we ate upstairs and not in the restaurant, because rumors say they make the salsa next to your table if you are downstairs (but I have no proof for that). But the best thing was the tequila tasting. We wanted to drink a tequila after dinner (sure, what else in mexico and especially in a place called "la Tequilla) but we didn't know which to choose. This was the time as the waiter brought us 3 tequila to try which one is the best for us anad after we decided they filled up the glass. Next time Guadalajara, I will be there. 100% !!! (Btw.: I have never seen that many different Tequila Brands in my whole life)

La tequila Definitely caters to English speaking tourists. Our entire experience was in English and our bill was presented to us in US dollars, which was a little weird. This aside, our experience was great and I would definitely return. First off, the raw tuna appetizer is incredible! Fresh, full of flavorful ginger and soy sauce and lots of fresh tuna: great portion size for sharing! Salsa made at the table: most excellent! Chips are great as well. Medium = spicy if you are a typical gringo. It's hard not to ask for seconds, but we managed. The hubby ordered a Margarita and found it well balanced, my mojito was solid but some of mint was not very fresh (black specks of very, very unfresh mint) My sons food came out with appetizer, which was appreciated. The Kids portion is huge! Share with siblings unless you have a good eater. I was very happy to see grilled chicken offered to young customers. My shrimp Tacos in jicama shell is very refreshing on a hot day. I'm not one for tartar sauce so I added extra table salsa and they were excellent. Definitely not a meal unto themselves though! Hubby's mole was lovely, and he commented that the chicken was very tasty. None of the meals are excessive in size, yet you leave feeling satisfied. After a lot of traditional Mexican fare I found La Tequila refreshing and enjoyable compared to the typical heavy meals of this region. Service is great, atmosphere is beautiful and welcoming. It's definitely worth a try if you are in the area!

Really good service, delicious Mexican food. Best of all the tequila selection is fabulous. I've been here several times in my visits to Guadalajara - part of what I do for business is explore new & promising tequila brands. I can tell you that you'll discover great tequilas to both satisfy and expand your pallet. Go here.

I had the Oaxacan mole with chicken. I also has a margarita. Overall the food was a solid 4. The wait staff was pleasant and prompt. The Atmosphere is nice, with some interesting decor. We also got some nice free samples. I especially liked the salsa mixed custom for us right at the table. Not quite 5-star food, but an overall enjoyable experience. We'll probably be back before we leave town.
