Tequila's Mexican Grill - Roanoke: Authentic Mexican Flavors with Vegan Options & Inviting Atmosphere

Main waiting staff was great! Food was great! However, they were not old enough to serve shots at the bar. The owner's daughter had to come off her throne to serve a couple of bar customers and never even spoke to us. Went out of her way to ignore us. Shots were great and that's why im still giving 5 stars but for a location that recently changed ownership, you could be a little more hospitable to customers paying for top shelf liquor.

We had the best food at Tequila's Mexican Grill. They had so many vegan and vegetarian options. I got vegan tacos and my partner got the vegan burrito. We absolutely loved it!! The portions are big and we had enough leftovers for another meal each. Free chips and salsa as well. We sat outside and enjoyed lovely mountain views and great music. If we lived in Roanoke, we would certainly be coming to this place frequently.

This was our first time dining at Tequila's Mexican Grill and it definitely won’t be our last! The food was absolutely delicious, the drinks were on point, and the customer service was terrific . Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcomed from the moment we walked in. If you’re looking for great flavors, great drinks, and a great experience, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

My boyfriend and I had Kelly A as our server, she was very sweet, she checked on us numerous times throughout our meal. We had 2 margaritas, the chorizo queso appetizer, and each a chimichanga dinner meal, everything was great and when we were getting ready to leave she brought us chips and salsa to go with our boxes! She was so thoughtful and efficient. If we lived here this would be a regular place for us to come. The food, music, and service was some of the best we’ve had in a while. Also we got to take our drink outside to decompress a bit and the outdoor seating was very comfortable! Thank you for a wonderful experience! would definitely recommend checking this place out if you are a mexican food lover!

My wife and I ate here two nights ago. I had Pescado Tequila's, a white fish fillet with shrimp, mushroom and bell peppers in a white wine sauce. It was excellent, the fish and shrimp were cooked perfectly, so many places over cook shrimp, but these were tender and flavorful. My wife had the Carnitas dinner, marinated pieces of pork cooked very slowly with citrus and a hint of garlic and topped with lots of grilled onions. We use carnitas as a litmus test for Mexican restaurants. The vast majority of Mexican restaurants overcook their carnitas and the pork comes out dry and even chewy. Tequila's Mexican Grill cooked them as well as the best small restaurants and food trucks do in Southern California or New Mexico. My wife noted she never needed her knife, she could cut the carnitas with her spoon. The meat was full of marinated flavor and as tender as can be. She loves grilled onions and they put a good helping of flavorful, grilled to a nice softness, onions on top. The restaurant is very understated, clean, nice booths and tables. Well stocked bar, good choice of beers on tap, tequila (of course) for every budget. Staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, this is our new favorite Mexican restaurant. It's a bit off the beaten path, you sort of have to be looking for it intentionally. But We both recommend that you do try it.

Highly recommend this New Mexican restaurant in town. Food was great and the service was also top of the line. This was my first time going there with my family and had an amazing experience. Everyone was very attentive and the server always checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Please visit them next time you’re feeling like having some Mexican food
