Tequila Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Murfreesboro

The space is colorful when you come in. Everything is bright and looks clean. Greeted and seated quickly. Started with one server and it was switched in the middle. We ordered a little bit of everything, so here's a quick rundown:

Salsa is a bit bland. Not really great. Creamy jalapeno is decent. Choriqueso... How can you go wrong with that? It's good. Probably the best part of the meal. Flautas: fried well and came out hot. They were kind of bland, but I fixed that by smothering them with the creamy jalapeno. The pico didn't taste fresh or really like anything. Mostly ate that little salad for the texture of the lettuce. The beans had a weird texture and flavor. I didn't finish them. The rice was bland but made much, much better with choriqueso. My friend ordered a few items but didn't eat all of anything. She agreed that the rice was vastly improved by the choriqueso.

All in all, there's too much delicious Mexican food in town to return, but it definitely has its fans. To be quite crude, I'd describe it as boring white people Mexican.

Visited Tequila Mexican Restaurant, they have been open for a month. My server Xóchitl got me set up with some water and a beer while I looked over the menu.

I thought the outside seemed “crispy” which made the exterior a little tough, but the inside was tender. I learned that this is the Crispy Carnitas version (who knew). Sadly the flavor you expect from carnitas was not there…the slow cooking, seasoning, etc just wasn’t there. Overall the meal was OK when everything is taken into consideration and the service...

I had my birthday party here on Tuesday. There were 16 of us. I called the week before to let them know to expect us. They were amazing with accommodating us! Our server was so sweet and funny. Our drinks were always refilled and we never needed anything. She was on top of it. They even let us use a table to put gifts on which was really helpful. The food was absolutely amazing!! Everything was flavorful, seasoned well, and cooked correctly. I don’t eat meat, and all of my substitutions were correct. They had a $3 house margarita special going on. The drinks were poured perfectly and the bartender made them quickly. We will all definitely be returning. It was our first time here, and you guys made it perfect. Thank you for making my...
