Tequilana

It was okay. We went there and we were seated quickly. Our waitress was sweet. The salsa was a bit to watery but the homemade hot sauce made up for it. Food was good but not the usual mexican portion sizes I am used to. I would go back again because the food was tasty.

We loved everything about this place, from the hospitality to it’s authenticity. Our waitress Ana recommended this amazing drink, best place to have margaritas within the whole Greenville area. We will most certainly become regulars here.

My favorite thing about this place is the location — I can go from sitting in my PJ’s with my hand down my pants to being seated with a huge margarita in about 4 minutes… and that’s what’s up. Friendly wait staff, rarely overcrowded. I’ve eaten here a total of 3 times.
The food is pretty good, but not the best Mexican food I’ve had in Greenville by far. I found the fajitas to be just ok, with the steak end lacking in flavor and quality. I have had good experiences with their burritos, and I do enjoy the salsa they bring out with the chips. They make some mean margaritas, so definitely add that to your to do list when here.

Good food but wish the portions were bigger. My husband left hungry, and don’t ask for their small queso dip. The cup they will charge you for is literally a ketchup cup. I couldn’t believe it was even an option. The food is good though so I will give 4 stars even though we felt disappointed in how much we received for the price.

They have the best drink specials. The signature margarita on the rocks is my favorite. I also love the shrimp and vegetable empanadas.

We just moved to South Carolina from Arizona and this place made us feel right at home! The food was delicious and the service was amazing! Definitely try the homemade margaritas– the homemade sour mix is on point! We loved the burritos. Thank you so much Tequilana– we will be coming back!

Came here on the recommendation of a local customer. He said this is one of the best Mexican restaurants in Greenville. He was spot on! The service started slow, with no one showing up for drink orders after we were seated. The food made up for the service. I had the Tacos Carnitas. I couldn’t eat fast enough! The meat was succulent and seasoned to perfection. The taco shells were crispy and greasy enough. The rice was just as tasty. Well balanced dish. I will definetly come back the next time I’m in town.

I’m not a big fan of Mexican food but will occasionally indulge my daughter and boyfriend. On a recent trip to Mauldin, we decided to try Tequilana after reading the great reviews. I had tacos to play it safe. I’ve never had a shrimp taco or a chicken taco that was as delicious as they made these. This is one Mexican restaurant that I actually look forward to visiting again.

Went for dinner early on a Saturday night. Seemed to get a little ignored by the server. I will say they were busy, but we only got checked on once during the entire meal even though the server was nice. The queso tasted like maple syrup? We had five at the table and everyone agreed. Two people got fajitas and their food was cold. Most places send that out sizzling on the plate. Also everything seemed under seasoned. The best part was the salsa. Overall no bueno.

Let me start by saying that I live within walking distance of this place, which comes in very handy if you are trying their world famous Tequilana Margarita.
Let’s start with the ambiance and atmosphere, wonderful. Very warm and inviting and everyone that works there is super friendly and helpful. Next come the drinks, oh man. You have an assortment of options to choose from and they are all tasty and delicious. You can’t go wrong with their in house Tequilana Margarita. It has many different kinds of delicious alcomobooze which all react together to create a concoction of awesome. They have normal margaritas too for the feint of heart, but do yourself a favor and try this at least once to never go back. Plenty of draught beer options as well as fruity drinks also await you.
How about food options? Here is where Tequilana shines, which might be hard to believe with the beverages and atmosphere this place has already thrown at you. Appetizers? Got it. Chips and salsa as you walk in? Delectable Plenty of authentic and yummy mexican cuisine options? Out. Of. This. World. Their Chili Rellenos, which are the benchmark for any good mexican place, are really good. My personal favorite is their Chorizo tacos. Oh dear, they are good. Just spicy enough to kick the flavor up, but not too spicy that you want to down that margarita to quench the fire. Really good food, you can’t go wrong with Tequilana!

I’ve driven past this restaurant every day since it opened nearly 3 years ago and never tried it until today. My mistake. The food and the service were incredible. Fabulous salsa & margaritas! Easily the best Mexican food in the upstate. Try the Burrito Acapulco. It’s a nice sized burrito stuffed with a variety of seafood and topped with a delicious creamy chipotle sauce and served with rice and grilled asparagus.

If you have been searching for a Mexican restaurant that serves healthy but tasty dishes at a budget price in Greenville, SC, this is the place to check out.
Four of us were there yesterday night. Ambience, food, service, price, all was great!

The Chicken Tortilla Soup, paired with one of the tacos, makes a perfect light meal for under $ 10. The tacos are a generous side for $ 2.95 each (for most). But no matter what I order when I visit, I’ll always get the soup to start off the meal. Love the avocado and lime, chunks of chicken and cilantro in the hot flavorful broth. Nice service and a good value.

Best salsa I’ve ever had!
I’m not normally a salsa fan, but this salsa was perfect. Just the right ratio of citrus to spice. More importantly, you could actually taste the lime in the mixture.
Actually, all of the food was perfect.
I had the taco salad, my husband had the steak nachos, and we split a philly taco. The taco salad was the right proportions of lettuce other toppings. The meat was seasoned just right. The philly taco was out of this world! The marinade was spectacular and the steak was amazingly tender.
The staff was super friendly and the drinks were spot on.
Definitely my favorite Mexican restaurant I’ve ever been to. Not only will I be back, I will be bringing my friends.

Fajitas Trios was amazing! It has chicken shrimp and steak. Served with black beans and Mexican rice. It also has the necessary toppings I plan to make this my place of choice for Mexican cuisine. The staff was pleasant and my food was ready when they told me it would be.

I came here because of the high Unilocal review but leave very disappointed. The service was poor even if the food was not bad. It didn’t feel like authentic mexican like i hoped. They first seated us across from the only other people in the restaurant and we had to listen to their conversation the whole time. They didn’t give us napkins or silverware without us asking and my order came out wrong. Service was very slow and the check took forever to come out. We watched the hostess very slowly write and calculate everything by hand.

Stop what you are doin’ and head for Tequilana… walk in the door and say, «Tequilana Margarita please’»
Oh yeah, the food is excellent. I suggest the Brisket Enchiladas. Roasted and smoked tender beef brisket in two rolled corn torillas, in a light creamy chipotle pepper sauce, topped with melted cheese and grilled onions servied with refried black beans and rice.
Excellent, no hype!
Save room for dessert, cause it’s really special! Tres Leche Cake: A delicious three-​milk sponge cake iced with whipped cream and topped with fresh seasonal fruit.
Usually the service is great, sometimes they get busy.

By far, the best Mexican food I’ve had since moving to SC. I had the tamales and they were awesome. The kids’ quesadilla was bigger and better than most adult entrees at other restaurants. My husband ate every bite of his brisket taquitos.
Our service was great, too. The chips stayed full, while we munched on chori-​queso dip. We’ll be going back… again and again.

Wow, I can’t believe the other reviews I am reading. Those people ether work for the restaurant or they are completely delusional. This is by far the worst Mexican restaurant in the Greenville area. When I went there the chips were at least a day old. I kindly asked for some new chips and the server stated «I just watched the cook make them», and then blew me off. I asked another server and she gave me new chips. However, they were still so not fresh. I was warned by the customers sitting next to me that the service was bad and the bartender didn’t know how to make drinks. They weren’t sure if it was a language problem or not, but the girl was also not nice.
I ordered the shredded steak burrito (not sure how you shred a steak), philly tacos, and the crispy steak and chicken taco to go. When I opened everything up, they had actually given me steak and chicken fajitas with soft shells. My wife and I choked down a few bites which tasted more like an Italian sauce instead of Mexican. It’s one thing that the order was wrong, but the flavor was just gross. Best Mexican restaurant in Greenville? Not bloody likely! Needless to say, my wife and I agreed that we never need to eat there again.

I don’t know how authentic Tequilana is, but I do think this place is authentically delicious. I have eaten here a few times and have not yet had something I don’t like.
To start with, their salsa is very tasty. It is not a chunky salsa, but it IS full of flavor and not overly hot. It goes great with their chips. They also have delicious guacamole as well, which our waitress tells us is made fresh with each order.
Personally, I love that they have dishes made with brisket. I have tried their brisket enchiladas and their brisket tamales. Both were awesomesauce! The brisket is tender and flavorful. I will say the brisket tamales are definitely unique, and the tamale part was one of the best I’ve ever had. It came with a side of the charro bean soup (seriously, this is AMAZING!!!) and their fabulous rice. YUM! We also love their carnitas, which have a great flavor and just fall apart in your mouth, and the carne enchilada — just fabulous too!
As for their margaritas, they make their own mix in-​house. I can get their margaritas with Cazadores, one of my favorite tequilas. They also make natural margaritas (lime juice and agave netctar), which are just amazing.
They tend to be pretty busy on the weekend, but the service has been great each time we’ve come. I think their prices are pretty reasonable for the quality, with most of their dishes around $ 10 – 13. Portions are generous as well.
I am so glad Tequilana is so close to home!
