Mr Tequila's Cantina & Grill

Recently I gave Mr Tequila's a try. The interior is modern with nice touches of bright color. I ordered a senor quesadilla with chicken. The meal was well made and delicious. The server was polite enough, although not very enthusiastic. Also, while my table was clean, some food bits were noticed on the floor, and the neighboring table seemed to have some salsa residue that needed wiping. Maybe it was bad timing during my visit, and came when the workers were exhausted. It was a little over an hour before closing time, as I recall. Despite a few little hiccups, the stop was worthwhile and the meal was quite tasty.

Margaritas were ok. Staff couldn't answer questions about anything (English was her second language but even simple questions about spice level and if they use sweet and sour - she did not know the answers or appear to understand). I would go back for the food and ambiance. Really good. 4 out of 5 stars. -- We got there early on a Wednesday, just as the Lily and other local workers were getting out for lunch. I like the two different vibes in the dining area and bar. They have live music and shows on the weekends. We had: 1.Complimentary chips and salsa 2. Queso dip ($5.99) - this is a thing you never find in California and while I don't care for it, my mom loves it. This queso was *very* watery and the most disappointing things of our meal but my mom still ate it 😂. 3. Enchiladas Rancheras ($12.99) - "Three corn enchilada tortillas, stuffed with marinated grilled chicken and covered with red ranchera salsa lettuce,radishes and mexican cheese and sour cream served with refried black beans." (DELICIOUS. I never had radish and lettuce on my enchiladas and it was so good. All white meat chicken with a great marinade. Small but savory enchiladas. The black beans were the BEST I'VE EVER HAD hands down) 4. Hard Shell Tacos with Ground Beef (One for $2.19) - Mom loved it and said it was better than Taco Bell. She's a basic food B so that was a big compliment 🤣 5. Texas Margarita ($12) - Their top shelf. The server wasn't able to answer my questions about the margaritas (I don't like sweet and sour) so I ordered the top shelf. I thought it was OK. There was sweet and sour in it and it wasn't strong at all, which was OK for it being 11:30 AM 😂 6. Virgin Strawberry Margarita ($9.99) for mom. She drank it all and loved it. Off the menu tomatillo hot sauce. Smokey in flavor. I thought it was OK. Did the trick at adding heat to notoriously non-spicy Hoosier food. Overall, I'd go back for the food and to try a different drink. ONE CAVEAT: Service was friendly, but, the server struggled to have answers or understand us and we were clear in our questions. I know English is her second language, but it did make for some challenges in understanding spice levels, ingredients, etc. She appeared to either not understand or to not know the answer. The reason I mention this is that if you are gluten free, vegetarian, or vegan you might have a hard time getting answers to things like if the refried black beans are cooked in lard (I don't know) or if they can modify something for GF. -- Overall, I'd say a generous 4 out of 5 stars for ambiance, friendliness, parking/location, and the entrees. I'll be back for sure for another go.
