Ate in Feb 2023 during the week at lunch hour. The food was very authentic. Very nice to have hot food served hot. Drinks were served quickly. Polite server. They tried to customize my order with spinach request but just didn't have it. But they Did Try. Like that. Helps to be bilingual. But here, 'gracias' to server Rudy. Wish I took photos but got involved with the food. Thank you.

Placed a delivery order and called to check on it and they were very friendly. Was told they had been busy but my food was on its way and even threw in a small dessert for free.

I've been eating at this Tequila's for years. It's never a disappointment. I always get either Chicken Cheese Fries or Chicken on the Beach. I enjoy the atmosphere and the quality of the food. The employees here are always friendly and respectful during my visits. I also love that the restaurant is by the railroad tracks. I highly recommend eating here if you visit Centralia. The photo shown is from my most recent visit, it's the Chicken on the Beach.
