🌮 Johnny Tequila’s – Roselle, New Jersey While parked @ a local receiver delivering a load , I was on my way to mamas Italian and made a b line , Succumbing to the luring art and decorative style of this building . I don’t even know where to begin , this place blew me away. I’ve been a fan of authentic Mexican food for a long time, and Johnny Tequila’s easily ranks among the best I’ve ever had. The atmosphere is lively and inviting, with great music playing in the background, a full bar, comfortable seating, and an energy that makes you want to stay awhile. What really stood out to me was how unique they are, not your typical sit-down Mexican restaurant that automatically serves chips and salsa. They have their own style, and that’s exactly what sets them apart. I ordered the Birria Ta

First time here and I absolutely loved it. Carne asada tacos were so well seasoned and yummy. Ordered two mojitos and it was perfect balance of mint and citrus. i will be back very soon

Love this place to hang out. Sundays is happy hour all day and I believe during the week they also have happy for a certain time slot. I love the tostones de ropa vieja, it is always ON POINT and taste the exact same every time so they got the recipe on LOCK. The guacamole is one of the best I have ever had in a restaurant/ food place. The chicharon de pollo is really good as well. The maduros are to die for! Drinks are very good as well and it’s a great place to hang out if you don’t mind it being a little on the noisy side. The server Emily is amazing and super sweet as well.

Sorry for the long story, but this is how my end of year experience went. So, I seen an ad on IG stating a reservation was required to visit this establishment on New Years Eve without a cover charge. From the Ad, the food looked delicious and the reviews were convincing. I don’t normally go anywhere. I’m a homebody that works in healthcare. My partner decided to make the reservation since we didn’t want to do anything extravagant for NYE, plus the hype about the birrias made us curious. We arrived at 8:30pm and was greeted nicely by the hostess. She sat us at a small table where we ordered a drink and some chips; guacamole and salsa. By the time we got the order is was 8:45pm. We advised the hostess that we will order food in about 20 minutes or so, we just wanted to enjoy the atmospher

Jersey may be a long way from Mexico, but here in the Garden State, there are plenty of authentic Mexican eateries. It is one of the most popular and beloved cuisines in the world, with a rich history and a diverse range of flavors and ingredients. As much as we love the classic dishes from tacos and tamales to enchiladas and agua fresca, there is so much more to discover. Tucked away in a strip mall on Raritan Road in Roselle and formerly known as Villa Tequila Bar, a few of my colleagues decided on lunch at Johnny Tequila’s. Upon entering, for some of us as first-timers to this two-level restaurant that could seat about 100, we were greeted by the staff inside a lively, modern vibe with music pumping throughout that patrons have always flocked to. We sat on a high table by the window
