Description:
If you, like me, fantasize about chasing the world's best nachos with a can of Tecate in an elegant old mansion whose walls are covered in bright Mexican murals, then I'll see you at Tequila's. The menu describes every dish in fluid, historic detail, offering tidbits such as: The Caesar salad was invented in -- who knew? -- Mexico. Chipotle-spiked filet mignon, flavor-layered mole poblano chicken, whole red snapper bursting with chiles de árbol, and lime butter are some of my favorites. The dining room is lovely for a big-deal dinner, while the bar is perfect for an early-evening nosh. I recommend the queso fundido (melted Chihuahua cheese served with tortillas) and the jar of margaritas. According to local legend, owner David Suro never forgets a customer. On his list of 75 tequilas, three are his. The house brand is Siembra Azul.

This is a very nice looking restaurant but some of the least flavorful Mexican food I've had. The sangria was great and served in a charming stoneware pitcher. Guacamole was so...
