Tequila CJ Cantina Grill - Authentic Mexican Cuisine in Garfield Ridge, Chicago | Menu, Reviews, and More

Growing up in Pilsen, one of our favorite spots to eat was Nuevo Leon. After leaving the neighborhood and hearing of Tequilas we had to try it. Seeing the nachos, tacos sabinas and many other favorites on the menu was nostalgic and tasting the beans took me back to being a kid again. That was roughly 6 years ago. Since then, we've moved out of Chicago and consider going to Tequilas, a special treat. On our recent visit, the staff at the register were so kind and welcoming and even reminded me to get my chips and salsa to take home. Thank you for staying authentic in the flavors, traditions and just feeling like home.

My friend and I went out to dinner here and had a great time. There was mariachi and a whole lot of excitement with birthday shots celebrating in the restaurant. The only reason I am not rating the restaurant 5 stars is because the cost of the food is too high for what it is. My friend ordered a fajita plate, and it was around $23.21, which was one of the more reasonable meals. She wanted shrimp added, and that add-on was $16!! The add-on shrimp costs almost as much as the meal. The food in general is overpriced. Other than that, we had a great time, the service was good, and the atmosphere was great. I do recommend this restaurant but know that it's a higher price point.

Atmosphere was lively and fun, our waiter was very attentive and the cuts of meat where very good. Presentation of the food was nice but my plate seemed small. The amount of food was good I just couldn’t cut my meats. Overall had a good experience and we would definitely visit again.

It's an awesome place! Gotta order the big Margaritas, they serve them in fifth bottles. A bunch of birthdays are going on, and they come out singing and yelling. Live music, overall a great time and big party atmosphere. Food was fantastic. Service was great. Parking can be a challenge.

The food was very amazing fresh and tasteful, definitely will come back based off the hospitality. It felt just like home. The service was very amazing.They keep your glasses full and try to meet you every need, as to the atmosphere it's like being at home in your backyard with your family very welcoming. The live music is amazing. 10/10

Stopped by for lunch after our flight into MDW. Figured it would just be standard Mexican fare but the menu was much more extensive than we expected. Food was authentic and very good. Would stop here again. Also, everyone welcome EXCEPT ICE!

By far the best Mexican Restaurant I've ever eaten at. Loved the vibe. The salsa and doritos are supreme. The menu is vast and diverse. The dishes are pefectly seasoned and loaded with more than enough food for one person (you may have trouble finishing your plate.). Sometimes they have someone singing Spanish classics to really liven up the atmosphere. I had an amazing time at Tequila's. Would recommend to anyone that wants to wow a date or a friend with an amazing authentic Mexican experience. A real 5 star for sure.

Absolutely, a fun environment restaurant. On holidays they give a free complimentary beverage (liquor) and a rose for Mother's day!! The love music was very nice... FOOD: As you see in the pictures it's a good size servings and the quality of the protein was % delicious! -(The side of the tortillas was a little portion) would like to have at least 5 in the order. Parking is challenging as well.. The wait time in the weekends are extremely long but worth the wait.
