Casa Del Tequila

Amazing food, great service. Great white cheese sauce! I recommend it! I used the Unilocal coupon and everything worked great :)

Been to this place a few times and I love it. The staff is great and the food is better. Everything is fresh and authentic. They even make the salsa/​guacamole table side. Its delish!
They even have drink specials sometimes during the week. Prices are very reasonable. Even better its walking distance from my home!

Lame. I should have known when I was the only customer there at 8 PM on a Sunday. Service was fine, but the food was mediocre at best, and… grey. Seriously. Got the shrimp ceviche tostada and the tomatoes in the pico de gallo were colorless and obviously not fresh. Got a half order of nachos which were smothered in gross chorizo (I did not like the flavor and expected a few spoonfuls here and there, not smothered like a sloppy joe), and the jalapeños on that were greyish too. The best part of the meal and the only thing with any real color was the fresh avocado on the tostada (can’t really serve avocado that’s old and grey, thank god, otherwise I’m sure it would have been) and the cup of tortilla soup, but maybe that’s just because I was cold. Where were the fresh tomatoes and jalapeños and lettuce, like in the color pictures on the menu? All in all, a gut bomb and I regret not going to the sushi place like I’d originally planned. Never again.

I drove 40 minutes in pouring rain to eat here tonight. On the way down, I was questioning whether the drive was going to be worth it or not, but as soon as I walked in I knew it was worth the drive.
At Casa Del Tequila, someone comes to your table and makes your salsa fresh for you based on your preference for level of spice. My boyfriend asked for his super spicy and I asked for mine mild. We enjoyed it so much it was difficult not to fill ourselves up on chips and salsa before the entrees arrived. Top shelf margaritas were $ 5 today, so of course I got one. This was an excellent and delicious decision after a long week. For my entrée, I ordered the Traditional Chimichanga with shredded chicken — every bite was delicious. Our waitress took excellent care of us throughout our meal despite how busy it was. Additionally, there is live music on Friday nights. The group of musicians went through the dining hall and played a song for each table. We were able to request a song, or pick what type of music we wanted to hear. An excellent addition to an already amazing experience. We are excited to go back next Friday!

We visited on Cinco de Mayo around 9p and this place was still busy with a 10 minute wait for a table. No problem, we grabbed a seat at the bar and the bartender offered us chips and salsa. The chips were hot and freshly made — just how I like them! However, the salsa tastes like stewed tomatoes (not fresh) with a sprinkle of cilantro added which was disappointing. The $ 5 margarita was okay, but clearly made from a mix.
The Traditional Chimichanga with shredded beef was surprisingly good. The shredded beef was extremely tender and in a rich sauce. The chimichanga shell was crisp, but not as crunchy as I’ve had at other restaurants.
The Enchiladas Rojas with shredded chicken was the most disappointing and not a dish that I would recommend. The shredded chicken was dry with no flavor and insufficient cheese inside. Overall, a very bland dish.
Coming from California, my standards for Mexican food may be a little high, but I think there are a few things that this restaurant could improve.

Better than i would have expected. Nice, simple Mexican. Big menu, lots of choices. Good place for kids. They brought nachos right away, but no salsa. Next thing I know, a woman is making salsa from scratch tableside. I have seen many places do guacamole like that, but not salsa. Very cool

I love this place. Fresh salsa, and Rainbow Margaritas are the way to go!

I don’t think I have ever had a bad meal here. Or a bad drink for that matter. Edgar is one of the best hosts/​owners/​bartenders in the restaurant business in FDL! Always greeted with a smile Edgar knows my wife and I by name and is always as accommodating as he can be even though he is usually very very busy!
Casa Del Tequila earns it’s name by having over 160+ different Tequilas on bottle at all times! On top of that Edgar knows just about everything there is to know about Tequila and the drinks that require it.
One of the best places to eat in town! You won’t be disappointed!
Thanks Edgar!

I’ve never heard of table side guacamole and salsa, so I decided to stop by and check it out. The lady preparing the guacamole and salsa pulled up in a cart, was extremely friendly, helped me pick the perfect amount of heat, cilantro, and onion for my taste, and with great finesse prepared the two in two separate, large stone bowls. I could watch her grind the chilies, mush the avocado, squeeze the limes, and make the concoctions. This was the one of the best guacamoles and salsas that I’ve ever had, and my only complaint was that the chips weren’t as impressive as the two. The serving portions were very large, and even trying to have the guacamole and salsa as the only things for dinner, I was not able to finish the guacamole. It seems to be sized for about four people to have as an appetizer, or two as a meal.

Great weekly specials and cold beers. Friendly staff. Love the carne asada meal. Ask for black beans.

This wasn’t my idea. This was my boss trying to do a nice thing and take us somewhere different for dinner knowing I loved Mexican food. It’s hard enough to find decent mexican food in the Northwest but in Wisconsin? Umm, no, definitely not my idea.
The things that I liked about the place:
1. over 140 different types of tequila. I hate tequila but I think that’s cool
2. table-​side salsa *and* guacamole
The host was friendly. The waiter was young and inexperienced. The busboys/​girls were reasonably on top of things. The place was average on cleanliness. It was quite loud and the decorations were more cliched than Taco Bell. It was embarrassing.
The food. The menu was all over the place with offerings. I don’t know if that was good or bad. I’m not that familiar with regional cuisines but it seemed like they were trying to cover all regions throughout the menu. Trying too hard. (This could be ignorance on my part but that’s what it felt like.)
I had the green chicken enchiladas — the menu doesn’t say verde and I don’t either. It was just a overcooked, flavorless green sauce smothered in melted cheese and topping some very dried out shredded chicken enchiladas in corn tortillas. I could only eat a few bites. The beans were tasteless and the rice tasted like something you would get in a frozen meal called ‘spanish rice’.
The salsa was good. When we asked for hot salsa, we got it. Table-​side service was nifty. The guacamole (also table-​side) was way overpriced but the portion was enormous and the avocados were fresh.

This was a totally mixed bag experience for a Sunday lunch. The big issue is the service, not the food. We were led to the table and nobody explained the salsa/​guacamole situation. Somebody threw some chips on our table and nothing else. And then we waited… and waited. About 10 minutes later up rolls a cart with a woman who asks us how we would like our salsa? Oh ok — you’re making it fresh? That’s cool. What’s with the giant tip jar on your cart? Never even offered guacamole either…
The main dishes were very tasty but the server was very lack luster. She never came back for the obligatory «How’s everything» and my Diet Soda sat empty with no offer for another for the last 15 minutes of the meal.
I can’t re-​iterate — the food was excellent — but the service is keeping this place down!

The very best and most authentic Mexican food around! Great staff with good prices. Edgar (the owner) will even recommend different types of tequilas for you to try or he will make you one of there many unique margaritas (if you are luck enough to catch him behind the bar). My two favorite items at Casa are the chicken tinga and fresh made to order salsa

This place continues to amaze me.
Yesterday I was driving back to Milwaukee from Eau Claire, WI and had hoped to do a late dinner at Casa on the way back, but things got later and later and I didn’t arrive until 8:45pm, and walked in past the sign that read that they close at 9 on Tuesdays.
I stood and waited a bit because there was no host at the stand, and I could see diners still dining. The bartender had also left the bar area, and I had at least hoped to get a drink at the bar and some pub grub if they had any chips, sala, etc…
Anyway, the owner comes in and asks me how I am doing. I say that I am sad that I arrived so late and that I assume the kitchen is still closed.
No, he said, we’ll take care of you. Sit down and we’ll feed you.
I sat at the bar to be somewhat unobtrusive and he gave me a menu and chatted with me as I ordered. I said that if they didn’t have something back there in the kitchen to surprise me… I ordered three tacos: pollo, lengua, and carnitas. He said he’d check with the kitchen and said that they were out of lengua, and that he’d make me a special taco which they make for him with chorizo and carnitas. He also suggested the pork taco instead of the chicken after asking me if I had tried it before. He said I would love it.
He asked me if I wanted them the traditional Mexican way with onion and cilantro in the soft corn tortilla of if I wanted them the American way with either hard corn or soft flour with lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. I said that traditional was great and we talked a bit about cilantro and it’s origins in Mexican food and the word avocado which sounded a lot like abogado, or spanish for lawyer, and how the word aguacate loosely means lawyer’s testicles to the Maya people. I think that was the gist… but it was funny and interesting to chat with him again.
I got the platter quickly with three beautiful tacos. They were each as sublime and savory as I remembered, and I had a pile of refried beans, heaps of delicious rice and lettuce and tomato on the side. The chorizo and steak taco was indeed the best, and I was pleased to be treated so well.
I was sure to be out within :20 so that they could finish their sidework as they did so around me. I thanked them profusely and the owner said that he was indeed right to serve me as they were still there anyway.
This place is truly the best thing in Fon du Lac, and the best Mexican restaurant in the state… and pushing to be the best in any category, imho.

Bartender, who may have been the manager, was fabulous! Excellent mojitos. Food was good — chicken tinga, steak ranchero, veggie fajitas and guacamole are all recommended. Our food took a little extra time due to the computer system, which didn’t bother us at all, but they still gave us another round of drinks and were very aplogetic. Super nice poeple. Would definitely go back!

Since I live in TX, I feel I know good Mexican food. It has taken a while to find up this way but we did it. We love the table side guacamole and salsa, cold beer and good service. It’s a great place to stop for a snack! We’ve had dinner here as well. It’s all good!

Huge portion sizes and very tasty! Made to order salsa right at your table is a very nice touch. My wife and I were both very impressed with this establishment.

A hidden GEM! Established by one of the co-​founders of La Perla in Milwaukee. We had such a delightful time here — EVERYTHING was great. The décor and the staff’s attitude make you feel like you are just joining in on a really fantastic, laid back but superb ongoing party. Like permanent Cinqo De Mayo. Our server was warm, friendly and exceptionally considerate. I had the steak fajitas and they smacked of being authentic (as far as this gringa could tell anyways). We met the owner at the end of the evening, who told us he’s at over 170 different kinds of tequila! I would love to go back and have him take me on a tequila tour. If you like Mexican food and/​or a tequila connoisseur you simply must make a visit.

Things have drastically changed in the last few months at Casa del Tequila. I’ve been a loyal weekly customer since Casa opened. Up until recently I’ve never had anything but wonderful things to say about the food, prices, and service. However in the last two weeks I’ve been disappointed both times I have come in.
Without warning or explanation the owner abruptly stopped his lunch buffet. A large group of us from work came in specifically to try the buffet he had been heavily advertising.
Both times I’ve gone into the restaurant in the last two weeks have been on a Friday during the lunch time and both times the salsa maker has been AWOL. This is hugely disappointing since this is one of the reasons I stopped eating at my old favorite Mexican Restaurant.
Lastly-​both times the waitress has been running around like crazy because they have been understaffed. It’s apparent that the owner is attempting to save money-​but I suspect that like myself his other regulars will stop frequenting his wonderful restaurant if this continues.

Finally! We found a Mexican restaurant that we like in the area!
First off, love how clean the place looks! I’ve been to many Mexican restaurants that are less than inviting. We were offered table side salsa immediately and it was excellent! I loved my food. Loved the sample platter. My husband and I both loved our dishes. Delicious strawberry daiquiris.
Great service. Would definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in the area.
