La Tequila Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Cloverdale

Always good food but tonight the service is simply horrible. I think it’s the owner who rushes through taking your order although there is 2 tables in the entire place and then gets the order wrong. We waited over half hour for food without anyone coming to ask if we wanted another drink. Felt invisible and forgotten on a birthday dinner. Then we had to send taco birria tacos back as they were not even fried and just limp and full of oil. Awful actually. Then we get a whole fried fish after waiting endlessly and we ordered shrimp. Food was good but it took a couple hours to get out and we had to go find someone to get another drink and to get more tortillas too. Then they charge us twice for the drinks. My son was treating me for my birthday so it really made me feel badly for him. I’ll order from there again but only to go. I see why the place is empty. No customer service and after making us wait endlessly they try to over charge us. Boy do we...

Funny thing is we found this place by accident... the first time we were talking so much we didn't hear the GPS tell us to make a right turn... once we heard it...it was telling us to make a u-turn... we drove a little further... made a u-turn... I told him that I was hungry and we were just driving past La Tequila... we stopped for lunch... we were so happy...so good... so delicious...this is the third time that we've been here...we've brought my Mom twice... she loves it too and both times she got the huevos rancheros with the red and green sauce... this time we got the chile verde... chimichanga... 1 lingua taco... 1 Cabeza taco... 1 quesabirria taco and the big prawns in cream sauce with mushrooms and onions... it was so delicious !!! If you're driving through Cloverdale or on the way to Fort Bragg definitely stop here it's only a half mile...

My girlfriend loves their enchilada trio, so I end up getting a burrito from here once in a while.... Being from the bay area I am somewhat accustomed to fine mexican food (I'm considered a rather good chef in my own right BTW) and therefore I hold a fairly high standard in terms of critical analysis of the dishes I sample anywhere... That being said I must say I have been disappointed multiple times now by the bland, tough "carne asada" which they serve. I gave them several opportunities, they have not delivered. I'm not even Latino but I can make killer carne asada. If your anywhere near Hopland, try that truck tucked in as you turn to the casino- that is the best I've had anywhere near Cloverdale. La Hacienda is probably your best bet if you want to stay...
