…at least that’s what I call it. Why? Because it seems cheesy to name a Mexican place Tequilas. OK, Taqueria Tequilas to be exact. But! They didn’t even start serving Margaritas ‘till recently, so perhaps they’re warming up to the name as well.
Anyhoo, you should go there, and eat food, and enjoy a siesta. Perhaps you’ll go this weekend for one of the final World Cup soccer games, where you can relax in a tranquil atmosphere surrounded by Mexican-style black and white historical photos on one wall and warm and fuzzy art scenes on the other. And! You won’t even have to listen to the American idiot sportscasters, as of course the games will be shown on Univision (note to American idiot sportscasters: when a player’s name on the French team is Henry, it’s not pronounced the same way as your neighbor’s dog).
So when you’re watching the World Cup soccer games there this weekend, if the previous evenings activities leave you not wanting to booze it up at lunchtime…well, then you don’t have to. You could have a nice refreshing glass of Horchata. However! Maybe you do want a nice little “pello del perro” (editor’s note: record party only had 2 years of Spanish in high school. Which unfortunately means nothing). Then you could order one of their newly formulated Margaritas. It would only cost you $3.50 for a 12 oz, so why the heck not.
Yes they have beer. Beer makes you feel good. You should order something that needs washing down so as to rationalize getting a beer. I recommend the Super Quesadilla. It’s saucy, it’s cheesy, it’s real good. The prices for the entrees aren’t dirt cheap, but you get what you pay for. That quesadilla will come with enough guacamole and sour cream that you won’t need to order any sides, and there’s a salsa bar to boot. I find that if I’m by myself, I need to suggest that I want chips. But! If there’s two of us and a tip is put in the jar, then chips magically appear on their own.
It’s never crowded here. Perhaps it’s dominated in the Crown Hill scene by Gordito’s on one side (over-rated) and Burrito Loco on the other (muy bien, but more of a family atmosphere). Normally I don’t tell people about places I like that aren’t crowded, because really I don’t want to see you there. I like you though. So! When you order the Tequila Burrito and are happy it’s not overly filled with rice and lettuce, you’ll understand.
By the way, I know you were wondering this, so yes, one of their meat options is lengua (tonque). Ole! If you try it, let me know how it is.
