1, 2, 3 Tequila!

The word on the street was that Tequila Mexican Restaurant in Des Moines has some darn good Mexican food.  I would have to agree!  

We checked out Tequila for lunch the other day and it was very accessible right off of 235 at 2825 Easton Blvd. in Des Moines.  It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside is clean and well-decorated.  The $1.99 margarita sign caught out attention right away.

We ordered 2 original margaritas (.51 cent more for a frozen, but still well worth it, flavored margaritas were extra) and started browsing the huge menu.  Familiar favorites at very reasonable prices.  We tried the chicken enchiladas and some chicken tostadas.  The little guys had a cheese quesadilla with fries which came out hot and fresh.  We were impressed with the wide selection in the kids menu as well as the regular menu.


I appreciated the fresh salsa with real (not canned, diced veggies) and that it wasn't the pureed stuff you get in some restaurants, it was chunky with a kick and great with the warm chips.

The enchiladas were reminiscent of most Mexican joints in town.  Good but not particularly stand-out-ish.  The tostadas however were excellent with fresh lettuce, tomato, guac, beans and crema. Very good and very inexpensive.  


We saw a lot of guests ordering the fajitas and will certainly order those on our next visit since folks were raving about them.
