Tequilas Family Mexican Rest

Skirt steak quesadillas charred over an open flame anchor the menu at Tequila’s Mexican Restaurant, a Grand Junction staple operating for 18 years. The kitchen draws directly from the culinary heritage of Cuautla, Jalisco, delivering authentic Jalisco-style dishes prepared with fresh ingredients. Founder Jose emigrated from Mexico in 1978, starting as a dishwasher in Washington State before working his way up through the kitchens. His background includes co-founding El Charro Mexican Restaurant, which ran for 30 years, and opening a location called El Abuelo in Wenatchee. The current Grand Junction spot carries forward that legacy, featuring menu highlights like cheese enchiladas stuffed with grilled pork and breakfast options such as ranchero eggs served on soft corn tortillas with green chili sauce. Other notable items include chimichangas smothered in green chili, burritos filled with Mexican sausage and potatoes, and fajitas featuring grilled chicken or steak. The restaurant maintains a family atmosphere with careful attention to detail, offering wheelchair accessibility and parking for guests seeking traditional Mexican flavors.
