Their guacamole is DELICIOUS!! Got to stop here on my way through and was pleasantly surprised by their attention to detail and friendly service. The shrimp taco was super yummy on their homemade corn tortillas and my boss enjoyed his mole burrito. Can’t wait to stop by next time we’re driving through, because their guac is a must now. Lol

My family and I came up to Solvang to get away. We visited the town and wanted something to eat outside of the town because it was pretty packed. We looked up this place that wasn't too far, and we were pleasantly surprised. Nice little spot, with authentic food! I tried the mole burrito and the family tried other dishes. Everything was really good and their chips and salsa were fresh, top notch! The portions were perfect. The owner himself served us, great service and very timely with our meals. Thank you guys for making our day just that much better. We'll be back the next time we're in town.

This is authentic mexican food. Food and drinks were delicious. The Mole was my favorite. It was a good balance of sweet and spicy, full of flavor. The chicken was super tender it would fall off the bone. The arrachera in the molcajete was also very tender. The red rice was also amazing, which is not very common in all places, but here it was. The mango margarita was also very delicious, tasted like real mango not artificial flavoring with a small dash of Tajin. As you arrive they take chips to your table. You get to serve yourselve the salsas of your choice from the salsa bar. We tried all 4. They were all so flavorful. If you like spicy then they will be enjoyable. Spicy but tasty. We highly recommend this place! Adults and children left very content with a belly full of good food. Service was also 10/10, friendly employees and quick to serve. When we went it was not busy so everything came out fast.

OMG! We were on our way home from a trip to the East Coast and needed gas and decided to get it in Buelton. I've been craving Mexican food and decided to check good ol Google! La Tequila was the first restaurant that came up and of course I had to read the reviews. We're so glad we went! Everything was sooooo delicious! From the various salsas, the fajita burrito and the special of the night; Chile Verde enchiladas. Everything freshly made and absolutely exquisite! We'll be back very soon to try more of the menu!
