7 years agoThe restaurant Melrose Park has but doesn't deserve, La Tequileria delivers an incredible dining experience unmatched by anything in the area. With a classy, beautiful interior, incredible food, it is truly an incredibly unique and entertaining spot to enjoy yourself. Not to mention if you end up on a night with live music, they have excellent performances. And yes, it costs more than the taco shop next door.

8 years agoI've been here a couple times already and this place has yet to disappoint. I'm so pumped La Tequileria is in Melrose Park! I love the concept, ambiance, great prices, and the Tequila selection of course! I don't have to drive into the city any more to get decent tequila cocktails; it's now in my back yard! Expect a little bit of a longer wait for your drinks because the baristas are making sure the quality and taste is excellent. Don't worry , it's not that much longer than you're average cocktail, I'd say maybe a minute or two more. It's well worth the wait! My favorite is The Piña!

6 years agoFirst time here, came for Chicago restaurant week. Came here with my partner and ordered one of each option. Drinks were delicious! They had live music which was a plus! Nice location and plenty of parking on the side and back area. So many tequila options that it was unreal. Would come back for sure, this time to try some exotic tequila !

year agoFirst time coming here and I will be coming back. Drinks are delicious, I recommend “El Fresco” but add tequila and you won’t be disappointed. They have live music here and the atmosphere is awesome. I actually met the owner, he was there just chilling and talking to everyone there and really down to earth! I really recommend this place for a nice upscale place to bring your date and enjoy great drinks, food and music! 5 stars.

year agoI’ve been following them on Facebook for a while before I had a chance to visit on a Saturday. I was pleasantly surprised by the taste of the food, the cocktails and the live music. The place is a breath of fresh air for the area it’s located at. The decor is very nice, cozy and the place is not too big or overcrowded. You get to have some of the most delicious tequila cocktails I’ve ever had and even if you’re not used with Latino parties, you’ll fall in love with instantly.

4 months agoI’ve been here twice now, and both visits have been great. The vibe is fun, the live music adds such a nice touch, and the food and drinks were really good both times! This time around I came to support my friend Ashley, who took our orders, and she did an amazing job. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was taken care of. She definitely added to an already great experience. Can’t wait to go back!
