Tacos Tequila Bourbonnais - Bourbonnais, Illinois

Benji

Ordered a to go quesidilla with a side of rice, chip & salsa, flavors were definitely present of authentic Mexican herbs and spices, chips were cooked to perfection with just the right amount of salt.
Salsa was a winner as well.
Will definitely return for a sit down dinner!!

2nd visit was great, we ordered one of everything it seemed...
I would encourage a hostess as it was a bit confusing entering the restaurant.
We were seated and had our first round of waters and drinks in under 10 min, wait staff was fantastic, however I did not see any buss boys to help remove plates from tables.
Overall, fair pricing for quality food it's a win win!!

My wife and I dined at Tacos Tequila tonight and honestly it was a less than acceptable. When we arrived though what I believed to be the front door, there was people waiting but no sign to show if you were the front was. We did find it, put our name down and was told it was a 20 minute wait. No problem, it was Friday and the place was packed. It was exciting because that meant the food had to be great.

We get seated and then.. nothing. No one comes to greet us, no one is taking our drinks. I finally had to grab someone and I told him we as well as the people next to us haven’t gotten drinks. I repeated it three or so times, pointing to the other table as well. He only came out with waters for us. The other table, which was seated as we were, waited 45 minutes for drinks and had to request them twice.

10 minutes after that, I was finally able to flag someone down to put our order in. The man taking our order stood awfully close to us and it was an uncomfortable experience. But we got our food order in. I think another 20 minutes later the table next to us finally got to order after they also grabbed the waiters attention.

We waited another 45 minutes for food. No one came to check on us, tell us there was a wait and apologized. I even called another server over to say hey, people are not getting taken care of. He kept ignoring me and asking me if I wanted them to check on my food. I repeated no, I want people to get service, a table that was across from us hadn’t even had their order taken and they were sat 10 minutes before us! He said that the kitchen was backed up. I said that wasn’t the issue, that no one was even being served until we flagged them down. He kept going back to asking if I wanted him to check on our food. I repeated no and said Nevermind.

Our food finally came and we were so hopeful. I ordered the Steak Mexicans, which comes with grilled peppers, onions, tomatoes and mushrooms. No mushroom. The rice and beans had no flavor whatsoever. It was also cold. Steak was fine, it wasn’t my favorite. It was very tough and I ordered it rare.

My wife had the Quesabirria. There was no abundance of cheese. The meat inside was sparse and dry. The consume was meh. She couldn’t get the meat to soak up any juice, it was so dry. Her whole meal was cold. It looked like maybe our food had been sat there for a while.

As soon as someone came by, I asked to pay. I’m unsure if anyone else is trained on the device they used to take order and pay, but the same man was there. I had read a review that the man stood close while paying, I’m guessing in a way to put pressure on the guest for bigger tips.

We got up shortly and we heard someone shocked that we were done because they for their way before us. Also, the table diagonal to us JUST ordered their food. The table that was sat 10 minutes prior.

I understand this place is new and that’s why it’s important to say this. I saw who I thought might be the manager (he was wearing a different shirt) for a total of 15 minutes during my meal. I saw a lot of walking back and forth in a very quiet kitchen.

It had no idea if we had a waiter assigned to us, or even our section. The service was terrible and no accountability was taken for how “slow the kitchen was”. Based on how cold our food was, I wonder if the kitchen was pushing out food and maybe the wait staff was too overwhelmed?

Overall, extremely disappointing and I am hopeful that in the next few months, things turn around and we can actually enjoy a meal, not our whole evening, at this establishment.

Tacos & Tequila was a good experience. Chips and Salsa were delicious. Food came out steaming hot, well seasoned, and good portions. Will definitely be coming back. I’ve already recommend Tacos & Tequila to a few people I know.

Maybe the food's better to go. The service here is downright sad. There are barely 3 waiter/waitresses and quadruple the seating. Their limiting margaritas options are a turn off. The margaritas they gave arent even frozen, they resemble basic mixed drinks at best. I'll assume that coincidentally their machine may be broken. Not only that but the wait for food is insane! I wanna say about 30-40 minutes. I understand being overwhelmed but there's etiquette that should be followed. We were shoved in a table in the corner and we felt neglected by our waitress our entire visit. Even as I type, I'm waiting in the car with our 3yo son just so my husband can pay the check! If this is the way they run this place, I wonder how long they'll last.

My family and I went to eat here Saturday evening. There was a 30minute wait - no big deal. We were sat and greeted within 5 minutes with chips and an exceptional salsa. Had our drinks brought to us, and then we ordered. The food did take an extremely long time, as they seemed quite busy at the time we arrived(6:45pm). But, that wait was all worth it. Our food was so tasty, so yummy, and those beans are some of the best I’ve ever had in all of this county. Their margaritas were just as amazing. I had the peach one, and it was very well portioned!

This was our first AND LAST time we will be here…just like some of the other reviews ,we were ignored for 15 minutes. Finally we ordered a margaritas only to find out that the freeze machine was broken. They were very limited on variety of margaritas. We ordered an appetizer.which took 40 minutes to come out.( not once did the server check on us) the service here SUCKED BIG TIME. The shrimp I had was good although the plate was not very inviting and the portions were very small.specially for the high price of the dish.i don’t mind paying extra for anything as long SOMETHING MAKES UP FOR SHORT COMINGS. NOT IN THIS CASE. I won’t be back…

We dined in for lunch on 2/1. The service was great and the food was even better! I had the seafood chimichanga... it was delicious!! My husband had the quesadilla patron (I think that's what it was) also very good! My mango margarita was good and strong! Will definitely return to try other menu items! 2 thumbs up!

Our server was attentive at least to our drinks, but our food order took roughly an hour. When the food came out, our rice and beans were cold. The main parts of the entree were hot and delicious but if I’m going to wait an hour for food it better be fantastic and they fell short
