★★★★★ 5.0 Ken Bass · Feb 2026

Very clean, open venue, with a comfortable atmosphere! They have a wonderful menu that is easy to read with distinct descriptions and photos of food options. Delicious adult beverages as well as a self-service soda island that is clean and easy to use! Polite, professional, and friendly staff really add to your dining experience! A local favorite restaurant with well-deserved accolades! Recommend the margaritas and fish tacos 🤗🍹🌮🌮🇲🇽🇺🇲

The food was really good. I think the layout is a bit unusual for this type of restaurant. You order at the front counter and a tip is requested before even being seated. You get your own non-alcoholic drink on the way to the table. They deliver the chips and your food, but you are responsible for refills on the non-alcoholic drinks.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jeremy Johnson · Feb 2026

For the best Mexican experience in Mexican fare, the focus.os obviously Tequila in Waterloo! The service, the menu, the vibe and the food makes this destination a sight for the eyes and soul. I highly recommend The Flan because it is the best I have had in 30 years! Eat a place that values their patrons--so dine at Tequila!

★★★★★ 5.0 Susan O · May 2025

Try their Sunday brunch. Holy cow at least 20 different hot dishes, chocolate fountain, and lots of fruit and desserts.

Waterloo, IL location: huge buffet on Sundays, which I highly recommend. Everything from bacon, eggs and sausage to tacos, wings, shrimp, and many other great Mexican favorites. The owner shared a bit of his time with my wife and I, truly making us feel welcomed. Everyone always works hard and has a smile on their face. Check out my picture of the orange slice flower ice cube that was in my wife's mimosa. He then brought us a margarita which had an ice cube in it the shape of a diamond, which they use on higher quality drinks. Columbia, IL location: Great Mexican food, fast with great prices. Different layout with counter style in Columbia, IL.
