Took my usual Friday trip to Broken Arrow today and had my youngest along for the ride. Had a couple stops along the way but me landed at El Tequila on Elm for lunch.
TLDR: Not a great time. Food was mediocre and service was hit and miss.
We arrived just after one, so we missed whatever lunch rush there might have been. We were seated promptly and got our drink order in when the guy brought the chips and salsa. Honestly, for me the salsa was the high point of the meal.
The kid ordered beef nachos, no beans with guac and sour cream on the side. I went with the lunch special 3 enchiladas – 2 beef, 1 cheese, all with chili sauce – and refried beans and rice. We also asked for a small bown of queso to start. Pretty simple stuff, right?
Apparently not so much.
We never got the queso, and by the time our server bothered to check on us, the food was arriving, so I didn’t see the point of getting it. Much like these places that bring your salad WITH your entree…. not sure which brain cells are firing there, but they ain’t the right ones.
To be fair, the kid’s nachos looked great, and according to her, they were awesome.
She also thinks top ramen is awesome…
My order was pretty botched. I knew there was going to be a problem when the server couldn’t understand I wanted the lunch special with the three enchiladas….. again, 2 beef, 1 cheese, chili sauce on top. She even reiterated to me “1 enchilada?”….. so I patiently explained for a third time.
What I got was three beef enchiladas covered with queso, beans and rice. I mean if you’re an optimist, 2 outta 3 ain’t bad…. but I didn’t see it that way.
Thinking to make the best of it and just eat it anyway, I plowed in and couldn’t do it. The cheese was so thick on top it was almost like eating glue. After several minutes the server stopped by to check on things and I again had to repeatedly explain to her what I ordered. She finally got it and hustled back to the kitchen, and in several more minutes a fresh plate arrived.
To be honest, I was probably disenchanted at this point and that reflects in this review but it is what it is. The enchiladas were at least correct. 2 beef and one cheese. The chili sauce was this oddly orange color that had an aftertaste that was almost asian. Not at all the earthy, chile/cumin/beefy gravy most Tex-mex joints lay down, and what my palate was expecting. This stuff missed the mark by a wide margin. The beef was barely seasoned and the tortillas fairly tough. It was obvious they were fast rolled to correct a missed order and not done properly.
I managed about half of the order and just didn’t care anymore.
Odd thing on the check was a $1.48 charge for “cheese for salsa”, whatever that is. Honestly, I didn’t care… I just wanted to go.
Service was spotty at it’s best. Not sure if our server was new or what, but she seemed to lack any comprehension of the menu and didn’t really understand what I meant when I asked for the guac and sour cream “on the side”.
Prices were pretty reasonable, until you factor in the hassle and the quality, and then it goes sideways, at least for me. I’ve had better enchiladas in a frozen TV dinner.
Since I don’t live in BA and only make it there once a week or so I don’t much expect I’ll be back.

I’ve been on a taco salad kick lately. El Tequilas has been my favorite so far. Their chips and salsa were both great too!

Top of my list are three items:
1) the Margaritas
2) the flavor on the meat of the Taco
3) the chicken tortillas soup!
Hmmm
1) I had two margaritas… it was a good afternoon!
2) I had two hard shelf beef taco … Not bad … not the best flavor, I had!
3) The chicken tortillas soup, I was thinking about or something similar to Chili’s tortillas soup, but this is more healthy!
The place felt like a house, it needs some sunlight!
Will be back for sure!

Their food used to be very good. Our server was nice but it seems like she is having a hard time remembering orders. Somenof their plates needs to be replaced as it has chips.

The steak mexicana was delicious. Meat was perfectly cooked and tender. We had a large party and one guy kept everything in control. Finally found a favorite Mexican spot close to home.

This restaurant used to be one of my favorite places to eat. I’ve been coming here for years. Lately the service is awful. The menu states one price and then you were charged a different price. I understand that price has changed, but your menu should reflect that or your server should inform you. The women’s restroom smells like rotten eggs. I wish this place was as enjoyable as it has been in the past.

Please get people that understand English when they order then you might stop bringing the wrong orders. Very expensive place to have bad service. I left without eating or paying as they couldn’t even get an order of 3 burritos right.
The server couldn’t speak English worth a crap. That’s fine I will take my business elsewhere where my money is appreciated more.

Great place, I attempt to speak Spanish here and the server was most helpful and understanding. The food was good, not over the top but very competitive with what we experienced before
