We celebrated a birthday here. As usual, the food was out in a reasonable time and was great. Our server, Uli, was fantastic and made sure we had everything we needed! The highlight of the night was the birthday person being serenaded!

During the last 4 years we have been dining at Tequilas, and every occasion has been outstanding with great service, well prepared food many occasions we ordered a la carte always on queue, service never disappointed us always friendly staff willing to make us welcome. The menu has plentiful of choices from vegetarian to meats and shrimp. We will come next time we are in town. Gracias! por su excelente atencion y autenticos platos Mejicanos. Regresaremos cada vez que visitemos Centralia.

I was treated to a birthday dinner date at this Tequilas location last night. My husband and I enjoyed the recent updates to the interior, which hint at the more modern take on Mexican cuisine and culture. We shared the deluxe guacamole, Chipotle burrito and Paella and each was delicious! If you enjoy horchata and/or a margarita, they are definitely worth ordering. The staff is friendly and service is fast.
