El Tequileno Family Mexican - Lakewood

Went here with a couple of friends who are regulars. Overall this was a very authentic Mexican food experience. The seating is a little cramped and loud, but the food choices were endless and the quality of the food was greatFood: 4/5

Serving team here is GREAT. The food was really really good! The drinks were BOMB. Family friendly and group friendly. These are great folks serving great food. Will definitely be back!Food: 5/5

I 've been in Lakewood for 30 years but never tried this place when I first noticed it a few years back. Always wanted to, though. I kept seeing the commercials lately about their newest Golden location, so I thought I 'd try the Lakewood location since I always have been meaning to try it for many years anyway.The chips and salsa were very good and the chips were nice and warm. The meal I had was just average. The chili rellano was nice and crispy, but it had hardly any chili in it and was mostly loaded with cheese. There was no green chili or melted cheese smothered over the chimichanga at all, but was instead topped with big scoops of sour cream and guacamole. A bit different than what I was used to. The chicken inside the chimichanga was kinda dry and not very flavorful, so I had to keep washing it down with my Pepsi (they gave no water like one would normally expect and get at any other Mexican food restaurant).Staff were friendly, and the service was good but could have been better. Server kept asking if everything was OK but never offered to refill my Pepsi that I had to keep washing down my dry chicken chimi with.The empty cup was in plain view by the edge of the table with ice filling over half the cup. So when she came back the 4th time, I nicely asked for a refill, and when it was brought over, most of the ice was melted. It was warm and syrupy with no carbonation this time.I could tell it had been sabatoged all just because I had to nicely ask for a refill rather than them doing their job earlier to refill it for me automatically way earlier. How hard is it to notice an empty glass and say, Would you like another Pepsi, sir? rather than force me to ask you 20 minutes after I ran out and then give me warm syrup instead of the nice, same, bubbly Pepsi I had the first time??Because of this part of my experience being negative, and because the food was just average and didn 't really stand out, I won 't come back.

I can not write how great this place is! We have been going here for years and years now!! The services is always so so so amazing!! Everyone is so on top of it… they are always on top of refills, food comes out fast, and everyone is so friendly! The food is absolutely out of this world!!! I have tried so many Mexican restaurants and nothing ever compares!! We are regulars at this place and always will be!! The best of the best!

Food was delicious. Fresh food hot and absolutely delicious ?????? I got the chicken mole and it was very traditional , spicy , and fragrant. THE Employees were very kind and had excellent service. I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting GOOD MEXICAN FOOD!!!!!! I will definitely be back here again.Food: 5/5
