About Tequila’s | Authentic Mexican Restaurant

Tequila’s Mexican Restaurant is a company established 18 years ago in Colorado, our goal is to serve the most authentic Mexican food with tip quality fresh ingredients. Our family atmosphere and careful attention to detail will make you feel at home.

Our restaurant is the product of years of hard work, he is native to Cuautla, Jalisco, and he emigrated to the United States in 1978. Once he established himself in Washington State he began working as a dishwasher.

As a tireless worker, because he loved to cook, and because of his desire to learn, and love of cooking he offered to be a helper in the kitchen during his time off without extra payment. Jose learned to cook everything from scratch, so one day after the chef resigned he was the most qualified person to fill the position. He noticed Mexican food in Washington state lacked an authentic flavor, so he decided to open a restaurant with a style that is considered quintessentially Mexican: Jallisco’s style of cooking. That way he founded El Charro Mexican Restaurant with his brother. That venture lasted for 30 years.

On the side, he decided to independently open a restaurant called El Abuelo in Wenatchee, Washington. During that time Jose opened a second restaurant with a cashier name: Tequila’s, which is not only the name of Mexico’s national beverage but also the name is a town in his native state of Jalisco. That way he founded the restaurant chain that we now enjoy in our state, with 8 locations in six cities all around the state of Colorado. He contributed to not only having a colorful form but also a flavorful one.
