We stopped here being hopeful that it would be good. We were absolutely blown away with the food. It is real authentic Mexican food. The tortillas and the Chips are made at the restaurant fresh. The tortillas are the best I have ever tasted. The flan is authentic also, very very good. Whenever we come back through we will stop again. They have several other locations throughout the area also.
The customer service was great! If you are in the mood for real authentic Mexican food you must stop by, it's so good!
In town on vacation and stopped here..Salsa was amazing, the menu was pretty big so just ordered enchiladas, they were really good. House margarita was tasty as well. Great server.
I've been ordering food from here for over a year. Within the last six months I've been getting less and less chips with my order. So I decided to order a side of cheese dip and chips with my usual order. I was given less than a third of bag of chips. When I called to ask about this I was told the staff is not allowed to put more than half a bag of chips per plate. I attached a photo for reference. Look how much cheese dip they expect you to eat per chip, I will have alot of cheese dip left over. Ridiculous and cheap. They're chips, I'm not asking for a full bag. But a legitimate half bag would have been fine. Not cool El Tequileno, change your stingy ways.They also forgot my plastic wear again, third time in a row for this to have happen.
My boyfriend and I have been coming here for 7 years and we've never had a bad experience. The serves are always nice, and the manager is amazing. It's definitely a family atmosphere and we feel like family. They have a huge selection of tequila, cold beer, and yummy drinks. Table side guacamole, and the chipotle burrito and the sauce on it is delicious! You can't go wrong deciding to eat here.
Was planning on grabbing some tacos from Salsas La Huacha (genuinely authentic, decent little taco trailer down the road, $10 and you're full) but realized they were closed when I got there. Figured I'd try this place out as it had good reviews...and I am beyond confused how.Probably the worst Mexican food I've had in my life.I would genuinely rather eat at taco bell.The portion was large, but 2/3rds ended up in the trash...and I'm currently regretting eating the third that I did.Meat had no flavor other than that of burnt oil and was tough, rice was beyond bland and the basic canned refried beans with clumped cheese were...exactly as you'd expect.The guac was almost watery with a bit of Avacado flavor overpowered by the chunks of onion.Chipotle's guac is at least 4x as good and it's not even that great. How an American/Mexican restaurant can beat an "authentic Mexican" restaurant four fold is beyond me....and it cost $22.Additionally, I ordered takeout, waited for the food to be handed to me from the kitchen, threw it on the seat warmer and drove 5 min home... It was completely cold by the time I got there.Still mind blown by the 4.6 star review.Ya'll need to go eat in Austin, TX or something and then come back to adjust your reviews.Gets a solid star from me.
So I am a California transplant and have lived in Golden for 6 years and have not found decent Mexican food.... until now. El Tequileno has the best Mexican food I have tasted since moving out here. There are a few places we go to around the area, which are good, but this place is the real deal. Not only is the food fantastic, but the service is amazing. I am a forever customer.
Really tasty food across the board, from the chips and salsa to the lunch sized burrito! Will be back again.
Good food. Quick service. Owner comes around to check on things
Food itself was very good, but service was lacking for sure and often took asking 2-3 people or multiple times to get what we needed
