Wow! I’m so glad we found this gem. Food made with heart Great friendly service to boot.

Huge portions of 5 star delicious Mexican food! The prices were great! Service very friendly and concerned about your dining experience! A must place to visit time and time again!

If I could give this place 6 stars I would. The service was super excellent!!! And for the food, WOW. The servings are huge and the flavors are out of this world. Me and my wife has been to about every taco restaurant on the central coast. This place blows every where we been away by far. A++++++ WILL BE BACK.

I though I yelped already but I'll do it again. I took my husband there for lunch today. He is a very hard man to please but he gave this resturant an 8. The only reason he didn't give them a 10 WAS BECAUSE OF THE AC, lol. The food was delicious, the portions were huge, the staff was very friendly. We will definitely be returning!

Hit all the marks for me - I was surprised by how good the food was. Very nice complex flavors. Slow cooked meats, Spicy salsas, perfect guacamole. Definitely my new favorite stop for Mexican on this route!

I tried this place for the first time a few months ago and I was blown away by all the flavor in the food. I’m Mexican and very picky about how restaurants that serve Mexican food. This place has met my standards 110%. The salsas are amazing, service is great, and food is overall amazing. My go to is the crispy tacos that are super filling and the side dishes are so yummy as well. The prices are more than reasonable and service is fast and attentive. You get the sit down restaurant experience without having to pay the hefty prices for good service. My absolute favorite Mexican restaurant between Buellton and Santa Barbara.

What a great little Mexican restaurant! A nice patio and the menu is large and diverse. I believe this is some of the best Mexican food in Buellton. It's off the beaten path, but well worth the walk or drive. 2023. Came back to this little Mexican restaurant and I was pleasantly surprised ,it still as good as always. It's just a short walk from the hotel and I think it's the best in town.

FABULOUS! DELICIOUS! FULFILLING! Must try La Tequila, their salsas and mole are amazing and we all loved our meals so much. Raul was so kind and made sure our dining experience was unforgettable.

This is authentic mexican food. Food and drinks were delicious. The Mole was my favorite. It was a good balance of sweet and spicy, full of flavor. The chicken was super tender it would fall off the bone. The arrachera in the molcajete was also very tender. The red rice was also amazing, which is not very common in all places, but here it was. The mango margarita was also very delicious, tasted like real mango not artificial flavoring with a small dash of Tajin. As you arrive they take chips to your table. You get to serve yourselve the salsas of your choice from the salsa bar. We tried all 4. They were all so flavorful. If you like spicy then they will be enjoyable. Spicy but tasty. We highly recommend this place! Adults and children left very content with a belly full of good food. Service was also 10/10, friendly employees and quick to serve. When we went it was not busy so everything came out fast.

Their guacamole is DELICIOUS!! Got to stop here on my way through and was pleasantly surprised by their attention to detail and friendly service. The shrimp taco was super yummy on their homemade corn tortillas and my boss enjoyed his mole burrito. Can’t wait to stop by next time we’re driving through, because their guac is a must now. Lol

This place perhaps have the best mole I've ever had! Raul served our large party quickly and he was very courteous. Wish they could open a location in Southern California.

Food was good. Took a bit to get served and to get our food but they were busy. The salsa bar was good, food was hot and tasty. Would come back!

As good of a fish taco as you'll find north of San Diego. Also highly recommend the Taco Maya (steak, chorizo, guacamole & crispy chicarron). The staff was A-plus too. Highly recommend!!!

Delish!!!! We ordered different versions of the enchiladas and then some churros. AMAZING. Everything came out hot, the chips were fresh and perfectly salted, and the churros we regretted only getting one order! The kids already want to come back. Definitely working this into our dining out rotation.

My family and I came up to Solvang to get away. We visited the town and wanted something to eat outside of the town because it was pretty packed. We looked up this place that wasn't too far, and we were pleasantly surprised. Nice little spot, with authentic food! I tried the mole burrito and the family tried other dishes. Everything was really good and their chips and salsa were fresh, top notch! The portions were perfect. The owner himself served us, great service and very timely with our meals. Thank you guys for making our day just that much better. We'll be back the next time we're in town.

OMG! We were on our way home from a trip to the East Coast and needed gas and decided to get it in Buelton. I've been craving Mexican food and decided to check good ol Google! La Tequila was the first restaurant that came up and of course I had to read the reviews. We're so glad we went! Everything was sooooo delicious! From the various salsas, the fajita burrito and the special of the night; Chile Verde enchiladas. Everything freshly made and absolutely exquisite! We'll be back very soon to try more of the menu!

This is a really great local establishment.l under new, fantastic management. Raul really has some great tasting food on hand here, and I recommend all the locals and tourists alike come in for dinner or lunch. There’s no hard liquor, but the agave wine is great and well worth a taste. It’s a revitalized Mexican spot, with tastes from all around Mexico. Give it a try.

Great little Mexican restaurant not far off the freeway off-ramp. Good menu both of food and drink options. English & Spanish spoken. Cash & credit cards accepted. Their Tequila Nachos are good - very generous with the cheese. The steak option was very flavorful and tender and diced into very easy bite-sized pieces. Large dollop of guacamole on top and drizzled with sour cream. Definitely great to share or for a very hungry person! They have a nice little salsa bar with pickled jalapenos and onions, as well as diced red onions, cilantro, pico de gallo and several salsa options ranging from extremely mild to a habenero sauce with a good kick to it. Beers, margaritas and sodas available (both Mexican bottled Coca-Cola or basic American soda fountail Coke). Casual environment.

We've tried a bunch of Mexican spots in the SYV area, but we always end up back at La Tequila. It's simple: fresh, delicious food, a chill vibe, awesome service, and the best salsa bar around. Seriously, if the salsa isn't on point, even if everything else is great, it just doesn't feel complete.

Looks like a hole in the wall,but is a nice place. Owner is super friendly. Food was okay. We ordered the molcojete not spicy, but a little bland...$40...kinda overpriced for what you get. Tortillas were thick and hard. Rice and beans were delicious.

I feel like food could be better. Was not happy with my order, I understand the steep prices but with those prices you expect a bit more quality food.
