Tequila Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Dallas

Walked in to a nearly empty establishment on a saturday afternoon. This alone is strange, but seemingly telling of what my experience might be. First thing I noticed is that the health score is below par as compared to similar restaurants in the area. Second thing is that the smell of dirty mop water lingered in the air as opposed to the food that they make. The hostess (possibly owner or manager, not really sure) met us at the door. She had somewhat of a hostile demeanor. No smiling or warm welcome. Almost like we were a burden to be there breathing her oxygen. After sitting ourselves on the patio, we were served by a fantastic fellow. Didn't catch his name, but he was very attentive and accommodating. We noticed on the menu that they charge for an extra basket of chips which in itself is not really an issue, however no other restaurant in the area does this so it was peculiar. We ordered our food and it came fairly quickly. I ordered a fried burrito which was about the size of an eggroll and contained what seemed to be low quality beef similar to taco bell's. My girlfriend ordered vegetarian fajitas which she said were okay tasting but they came with broccoli in the mix which seems like a strange choice. We also ordered cheese dip as an appetizer however it was lukewarm and had the texture and taste of straight milk. My girlfriend used their restroom and said it was too gross to sit on the seat. I give it 3 stars because our server was great, the food was quick, and it was priced reasonably well. However, the bathrooms are gross, the food was sub par (compared to others in the area), and the hostess was entirely uninviting. I personally won't be back based on this experience.

Update: saw homeboy cooking out back in the parking lot...

I had a reservation for my daughter’s graduation last night, I had originally made the reservation for 15 people for 9:00 pm I had spoke with the manager Jesus, then on Thursday I called back and talked with the other manager Saul and told him I needed to change the reservation to 9:30. He said that was fine and everything was good. Well we go to the restaurant(15 people) and we get there and they had given our reserved table away to another party because we were not there at 9pm. I told the manager Jesus that I had spoke with the other manager Saul and he confirmed that was fine. So then comes Saul out & they said let me see what I can do, so they had my entire party standing in the middle of the restaurant waiting for 15 minutes then to tell us they had no room for us. Then while we were waiting the manager basically hid from us when we were asking about it. My family and I have been going there for years and this is how they treat their loyal customers!! I will never go back there again!!! Very unprofessional!!! I’m only given the one star because that’s the only way I could...

I just tried this restaurant for the first time tonight, and I was very underwhelmed. First, I ordered two waters with lemon (there were two of us), and was brought water, but no lemon. After several minutes, the waiter came back, we ordered, and asked for lemons again. We were brought a bowl of limes, but I just went with it. The food took a very long time (20+ minutes), and they were not busy at all. The food was ok, but nothing great. After quite a long time, we received our bill, and noticed a charge of $1.30 for limes. I was hoping that they'd ask how things were, or that a manager would stop by, but no suck luck, even though a manager was standing one table away from us the majority of the time that we were there, speaking with what seemed like, his friends. This is my very first online review, as I typically let things go, or forget about it when I got home, but I wanted to make sure that I wrote one for this place. The restaurant is very close to my heart, so it's a shame that I had this experience, as I have no plans...
