Our Story

Our founder, Samuel, came to the United States with a drive and motivation to learn everything he could about the restaurant industry to sharpen his culinary skills. At the age of just twenty, he had opened his first restaurant in Cookeville, TN before re-locating to Metropolis, IL in 1999 and opening El Tequila Mexican Restaurant & Steakhouse. Since then, our family business has only grown, and we have maintained our commitment to serve up delicious food and inspire personal connections. We’ve proudly been serving the Metropolis community and surrounding areas for over twenty years, and plan to continue serving our community for many years to come!

We’re proud to offer a wide variety of food and drink options for every palate. We offer tasty favorites such as tacos, burritos, fajitas, enchiladas, homemade tamales, combination dinners and much more. The previous restaurant on location was well known for their exceptional steaks, and we were lucky enough to have them pass down their recipe and secrets to us, allowing us to diversify our menu and continue to offer these mouthwatering steaks to our loyal customers. We also have a full bar serving beer, liquor and wine, as well as our renowned margaritas. From our authentic Mexican and Tex-Mex to American lunch staples, we have something delicious for everybody!

When customers come into our restaurant, they can expect a fun and exciting atmosphere with fast and friendly service. We are passionate about family, community, and good food, and we believe we’ve intertwined those passions in our restaurant. We enjoy seeing people connect over our authentic Mexican food and we take pride in our ability to offer a special experience. We strive to be good members of our community and support the our community members like they have supported us over the years. We’re grateful for the opportunity to host charitable events and fundraisers and be in a position to give back and help out our community however we can.

Whether you’re a local coming in for your weekly lunch special, or an out-of-towner passing through looking for a quick meal, we believe in treating everyone who steps through our door as a part of our extended family. We have a long standing tradition of offering karaoke every Friday night, with some live music events mixed in throughout the year. Our colorful and inviting establishment is perfect for accommodating group parties and events. We’re also excited to announce we’ve added our El Tequila Taqueria food truck which offers a taste of Mexico on the go, a perfect catering option for graduations, birthdays, weddings and other events.

We hope you’ll come by and join us for a meal, or start your weekend off right by signing up for Friday night karaoke. We’re located at 1407 E. 5th Street in Metropolis, IL. If you have an event you would like us to host or cater, please give us a call at (618) 309-5673 and we’d be happy to discuss how we can help. We look forward to welcoming you into our restaurant!

Such a cute and colorful restaurant. Very nice wait staff. Great queso and my Quesadilla Texana was amazing. My boyfriend mentioned his beef burritos were a little bland, but we enjoyed our date while we were being touristy.

On 10/14/2024 Alvin Harper had this to say:

What a great family owned Mexican restaurant. The margaritas are excellent and the staff is great. Loved all the outdoor patio space although I’m not sure they always serve food out there.
