La Tequila — Restaurant in Grand Rapids

My wife and I arrived around 12:15 for lunch. We both ordered the same thing, the fajita lunch with carnitas. We were about the 4th table being waited on and the others were all ready served and eating. As we sat there enjoying the chips and salsa 3 additional tables of people were seated and their orders were taken. The first of the three new arrivals were served before we were. It's annoying to be waiting and have a table served ahead of you, but it happens. Some food cooks faster than others as it comes off the grill, but I know that carnitas are precooked. Oh well I thought, no big deal, and we continued to wait on our food. Then the second table that arrived after us was served their food. By this time we had been sitting there for 40 minutes. I got up and walked over to our waiter and asked what was happening with our lunch and he told me it hadn't been started yet. I pointed out we had been waiting while 2 other tables were served ahead of us. The waiter just said, sorry, and offered nothing else. At that point my wife and I walked out to find lunch somewhere else. For a new business in town, you would think they would try to make a better impression. We...

Sorry to say, did not have a good experience here today, because this is my go-to restaurant when I'm in Grand Rapids. I ordered my usual, and the steak was bad. When the Server asked how it was, I told him the steak is not good. He wanted to know specifically what is was, the sauce or the way it was cooked. I said the steak is old. He seemed defensive, so I just said, "that's ok, I just won't eat it." He didn't do anything to try and fix it. He didn't refill my water when it was empty, although he did ask if I wanted a to-go box. At the cash register, again he asked how everything was and I said, "Not great. There's something wrong with the steak." He said, "Oh, you didn't like it." No apologies or anything. The rest of the food was excellent. He was in denial or inexperienced. Maybe too many people try to take advantage, who knows. I was trying to be helpful. If I had a bad product, I would want to know. I don't know if I'll come here again. I'm sad because they were my favorite, but...

From the moment I walked into La Tequila, I felt welcomed and at home. As soon as I sat down, I was greeted with a basket of fresh chips and salsa, and when I asked for guacamole, it was brought to me right away—talk about great service!

I ordered the chicken quesadilla, and let me tell you, it was absolutely amazing. The flavors were rich, the chicken was perfectly cooked, and the portion size was generous. I still can’t believe I got to enjoy such a delicious meal at such a competitive price. It’s hands down better than any of the big chain fast-food restaurants.

If you’re in Grand Rapids and love supporting local restaurants, La Tequila is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be...
