Tequila Restaurant & Cantina — Restaurant in Des Moines

We arrived on a whim. Driving around at 7 PM on a Friday night looking for a decent place to eat. We drive by Tequila and decided to give it a try. It was a cozy, family-owned place with booths and tables. I ordered a Strawberry Daiquiri and he a Diet Pepsi. The salsa was nice and fresh and the queso runny, but very good. The entree came quickly. You order by number here, although it is a sit down restaurant with menus. I got #42 Shredded Beef Burrito and he the (forgot #) Tequila Burrito. Both we very good and pretty much the stand faire Mexican. However, he also ordered the Mexico City Taco which was to die for. And he said he'd order a plate full next time instead of just the one.

A DesMoinesTopTen, this place has the best Mexican food that I've had in Des Moines. We had chicken fajitas here last night, sorry no food pics, we were hungry! That's just how good they are.

This might have been the best dining experience I’ve ever had. Everyone on staff was phenomenal; lighthearted from the beginning, the staff made us feel like family!

The atmosphere was incredibly authentic… the food was outstanding. We all got something a little different, but most of the the group chose items on the menu that were “popular”. PS…the margaritas were a hit!!

Thank you for having...
