El Tequila Family Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Rexburg

Free chips and salsa is always a plus and beautiful way to start out a lunch experience, as it’s not a given around here! The salsa had a little more flavor then some of the other varieties ,but a little heavy on the canned tomatoes flavor but no where near as bad or offensive as let’s say gringos base salsa down the street which is a sad excuse for salsa.

They also give you another side dish a salad or cabbage slaw of sorts which they don’t currently have a name for.

Salsa: what tasted like canned tomatoes, fresh cut onion, cilantro and peppers. Just a slight tickle of spice perhaps.

Cabbage slaw: cabbage, little bits of tomato, some sort of maybe canned peppers, and cilantro and maybe a dressing? It’s a curiosity that works well on top of your food as well.

I had the Chipotle chicken burrito, a rather slender meat only burrito, covered in chipotle sauce and drowning shredded cheese, served with Spanish rice and the average pinto beans.

The chipotle burrito has a pleasant amount of spice to it and is a mild pleasant chipotle flavor.

$12 at the time of this review, with the addition of the chips and salsa however it’s worth it.

The Chipotle sauce is tangy and a bit sweet which helps mellow out the heat which is mild bordering on a low heat level. This is a sweet and savory dish. The Chicken is very tender and juicy, maybe a little on the wet side adding to the sloppiness of a dug into plate.

My plate came out surprisingly quick and piping hot!

The hostess and servers were prompt, mild mannered, kind, and informative. You can tell it’s a family run buisness. (Which it is). I’m glad to see this as Rexburg is in sore need for better wait staff.

What I think could personally improve would be carnitas as a meat option for all subsitutes.

Over all I had a pleasant experience, as sultry Mexican music playing at an acceptable volume in the background, it had the intoxicating smell a Mexican establishment should and light decor to help the ambiance.

Location is downtown, easily accessible, and the interior is quirky and inviting.

I would at this time recommend trying as they serve a variety of different and interesting dishes than most of the places around! Keep up the awesome service...

This place was absolutely outstanding . So good I had to do a review before I left. I tried their Chipotle Pollo. I never get Chipotle anything but I ended up getting the plate.

My life has changed. For real. It passed the chips and salsa test. The red salsa had a kick to it which let me know right away this place was going to be above average.

Then we got the food. I had to get the Mexican Coke in the bottle to set the mood.

The rice and beans were on point. They went together Lady Gaga and Bruno mars. If the world was ending I'd wanting to be next to this place.

The chicken, had me singing Chicken Lava like I was Steve(Jack Black) in Minecraft.

I'll be back like the Terminator. This place was a...

We went in and ordered to go, the place felt so homey and welcoming inside, and had wonderful decorations. Service was so patient and absolutely wonderful at making sure all our needs were met! They definitely go the extra mile! Not only did each food item have large sized portions, everything was delicious and freshly made!!! Highly recommend to anyone looking for an authentic Mexican meal...
