Very little to like here. After tent camping in the Big Cypress preserve for several days, my wife and I were craving a decent hot meal in general, and Mexican cuisine in particular. So we did a Google search for Mexican restaurants in the Naples area and Mr. Tequila popped up at the top of the list. It was the nearest to us and had received an impressive 4.4 of 5 rating so, in spite of the unlikely name, we decided to give it a shot. The decor was pretty bad, but not the worst I have seen and the place seemed clean and well-cared for and the menu had a decent variety of choices so we sat down in anticipation of a good meal. The margaritas we were brought tasted like they were made with a mix but were refreshing and had an adequate amount of tequila, but things only went downhill from there. The service was okay and the food arrived quickly enough but it was pretty horrible. The sauces tasted like they were just dumped out of a can and the cheese was just weird and tasteless. The masa on my tamale was dense and dry and had some sort of almost chemical flavor. The boiled chicken breast in my burrito was bland and tough and the only ingredient beside the awful sauce and cheese. The salsa we were brought for the chips was decent enough even though canned tomatos were used in its preparation. However, there was a strip of some kind of paper about an inch long by 1/2 inch wide in mine and my wife found a string of something unidentifiable in hers. Major turn-off. We left with a mild buzz but with an unsatisfied craving for good food and cannot recomend this restaurant to anyone. I can only guess that the reviews that boosted this place to 4.4 stars were written by the restaurant itself.

What I saw happen last Friday at this restaurant was disgusting and a lack of professionalism and ethics. I was dinning in with my husband as a brawl erupted just a few feet away from our table....mind you this is inside the restaurant and it was packed with families enjoying their weekend. The fight was between a woman and a man, and as I was informed after the storm had passed, these 2 individuals the woman and the men involved did not previously know each other. The fight erupted because the man told the women and her group of friends to be quite because they were being too loud. Now mind you this happened around 7ish at night on a Friday night. What I really consider unbelievable and frightening is that while the man was yelling at the woman and being nasty not a single staff member came to help with the situation. When the altercation became physical I was very afraid because I am expecting my first child and my husband obviously first and foremost cared to protect me, but I was able to see that the staff from the restaurant did nothing to stop or control the situation and the manager on duty was nowhere to be be found. 911 was contacted but by one of the consumers that witnessed everything not by the staff. I am never going back to this place knowing that their staff is not properly trained to deal with nasty customers and dangerous situations. I have been in retail and dealt with customers my whole life, I was in disbelief to see how the staff allowed this situation to escalate and put us all in danger. I can only hope that the lady involved is doing well as she took a beating from this ruthless man. I hope she and her friends never have to experience something like this again.

For the service and the racism I faced I have to give a harsh review. 1st off, I am from Mexico and was discriminated from my own people. Just because I look like a Mayan Indian does not mean I do not have an education nor any cash. It took a while for our waters to be served and we had to ask for it after 10 minutes of being seated. Caucasians came in and the employees did not hesitate to accommodate them immediately and bring them waters. Their food was even brought to them before ours. I have faced discrimination before but this was personal since I am from Mexico and the employees are from there as well. My bill was $35.76. Gave them $36 and ask for my change. They took $35 only and that was very nice of them. That is the only good thing that came out of our meal. Will not go there again. Food was a 1 star since I was upset and could not taste my meal anymore. Worst place in Naples. I took my wife and kids because it was recommended. Totally embarrassing for my kids as they had to face discrimination from my Mexican people.

Oh-My-Gosh, Im so glad we got invited to this place!! Naples area have several Mexican restaurants, but now this is my favorite. The place looks very colorful and joyful (something you appreciate when had the opportunity to visit Mexico and see the real thing!). We ate outside and even when it is not as fancy, we were not bother by any noise and had a pleasant time. The waitress was very attentive and help us with all our questions. The menu is large and the prices are fair (for the amount of food served!). I loved the queso fundido (melted cheese), which you dont find in every Mexican rest in Naples. The "combinacion" dish we ordered was great, three tacos (chicken, pork, beef) and the three were very good!! It came with the rices and beans and of course, it was enough for two after the chips, salsa, queso and guacamole!!

The food was ok, but our server seemed annoyed to have to wait the table. His name was Ivan. He never smiled once and never checked back after delivering the food to see if it was ok. In fact he kind of tossed the plates in front of us and then walked away. He joked and laughed with his coworkers so he does have a personality, just not one he cared to share with us. I even tried to make a joke to liven him up, but I might as well have been speaking to a brick wall. He threw the check on the table and snatched it up with a word as soon as I put the cash in it. I tipped 10% for lousy service, but shouldnt have tipped at all.

Worst restaurant in Naples! Last week my mom went to eat with her friend and a guy got mad because they were been loud and beat the crap out of my moms friend. The employees there did nothing to control the situation. They allowed a guy to beat a woman and went inside to hide instead of calling a manager or trying to control the situation. After the police got there, not a single manager came out to apologize to my moms friend or even offer to pay their bill. This place is not safe. I do not recommend for anybody to go there. A crazy drunk could go hit You and nobody will do anything.

Ive never had authentic Mexican food and Im not sure I would like it. But Americanized Mexican food is my favorite! (Think Chi-Chis) The salsa is so good, full of cilantro. The food is great. Fast, friendly service. The first time I went I did notice the language barrier but the next time we had several servers (large party) and did not have a problem with any of them. I celebrated my birthday here so of course my friends had them sing happy birthday, and that was very fun and well done. The margaritas are strong and tasty!
