Came for lunch and was blown away with the calm, relaxing atmosphere as well as the delicious food. I ordered a flight of tacos; each arrived in it’s own sauce glass: one red sauce (spicy), one green sauce (mild), one creamy chipotle (spicy) and one guacamole. Each was delicious but if you ask and are adventurous they have a spicy chili topping that will set your mouth ablaze in a delightfully uncomfortable way. It was delicious and I only needed a tiny amount. Love this place. I will definitely be bringing my wife for date night, and then the whole family for a large meal in the near future.

The staff were very friendly and quick to get a seat. The kitchen is also very speedy. The food tasted as good as it looked. The salsa has more flavor than most, actually had a little zing to it. Quite a few places serve a tomato sauce with very little seasoning. My wife had the Texas Dip and I went for seafood. We enjoyed it and will return.

Super cute on the inside. Staff was friendly. Took a little longer to place our order but it was 530 pm ish so I understand it’s a busier time. Did the flight of tacos, it was fun. Food was good. Steak was a little over cooked and slightly chewy. Overall, it was a good experience and I would recommend it.

Amazing place, we eat here regularly. Jesse was an amazing waiter who continued to check on us and went above and beyond for my wife and I. Made sure that we were never low on drinks or Chips and Salsa. The food was hot and fresh, spiced to perfection and definitely recommend this place.

Tequila Modern in MHK is our new fav place to eat. The birria taco plate is some of the best I’ve ever had. I have tried several options off the menu now and have yet to have something I don’t like. It’s all so good. They also have the best margaritas

Everything was 10:10. Food, service, drinks, atmosphere. If you have a pregnant wife that craves good food, this is it.

TL;DR if you ever find yourself standing in front of Tequila Modern Mexican with a craving for Mexican food…get back in your car and head 3 minutes up the road to El Tap. Enduring 30-50 drunk K-State students is worth it.
My experience here began simply: I like to try the new local restaurants. So, I walked in to Tequila Modern Mexican and like many others I was impressed by the atmosphere (save a giant neon pink sign reading ‘Good Vibe’s Only’ and no that apostrophe error is not mine). Things didn’t begin incredibly as I stood up front for a good two minutes or so with various staff members staring at me from across the restaurant, and the one who did come by seemed someone confused that I was following the posted sign to wait to be seated. Despite this small hiccup, service was fine overall – very attentive and kind staff.
The real trouble with Tequila Modern Mexican is the food. Chips and salsa came quickly, alongside a bowl with a white substance in it that I initially thought was queso. Dear reader, it was not queso. The Sauce had a strong mayonnaise taste, with perhaps a hint of ranch dressing. I simply could not identify it. Upon flagging down a waitress she informed me – somewhat shamefacedly – that The Sauce was mayonnaise, fresh cilantro, and vegetable seasonings and was “more of a creamy sauce.”
I will give it that. It was certainly creamy.
Once the mystery of The Sauce was put to rest, I was able to pay attention to the chips – very thick and stale, and lacking salt. Which, like spare napkins, is not located conveniently on the table. I did not ask for it, and I do not blame the staff, but it is something to keep in mind if your dish may require more napkins.
My drink came, also quickly – again the staff is great – a strawberry daiquiri in a very cute little pineapple glass. It was served with a novelty curly straw and a maraschino cherry, the stem of which I was unable to discard on account of the aforementioned lack of extra napkins. The flavor was fine, however the drink had not been blended enough to make drinking with a long, novelty straw remotely feasible. It was hardly feasible with the regular straw I transferred from my water cup. I then thought to just drink it the old fashioned way, a feat made extremely difficult and very silly looking by the shape of the glass – the vase-like top is not conducive to drinking without a straw.
And then my entree came. I ordered the Tacos Petras which, per the menu, is meant to be served with “carnitas, grilled pineapple and onion, fresh cilantro, onion, and Petra’s salsa.” I will grant, I did not ask what Petra’s salsa was. My tacos arrived, sans the onions, fresh cilantro, onions, and (maybe) Petra’s salsa. Unless The Sauce is in fact Petra’s salsa, I couldn’t tell you and I didn’t ask.
“How was the flavor?” You may ask.
“What flavor?” I reply. “There is only The Sauce.” Which is a bit of an exaggeration, because there was also a fair bit of grease – which is expected with carnitas, but made the lack of napkins ever more troubling.
As I write this an hour later, the only taste in my mouth is still The Sauce.
Perhaps it was a bad batch of The Sauce. Perhaps it’s meant to have a stronger cilantro taste, or even a lime zest to it. Less Hidden Valley Ranch, more crema. Perhaps the other food options, lacking The Sauce, are better and more flavorful. I couldn’t tell you.
What I can say is that Manhattan has no shortage of Mexican restaurants. I don’t recommend this one.

Good atmosphere, the food was great and for the amount of food you get the price is great. The food was really good! The guy (think his name is Daniel) he was super busy but made sure we were good and drinks were filled. 10/10

Enjoyed the Texas dip and taco flight. Great sauces! Margarita was also worth the money. I would go back!
