About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Romantic
Great for live music

La Tequileria has an elegant atmosphere surrounded by beautiful, vintage, Mexican decor. It has a stage for weekly, live, musical performances and numerous TVs. It is owned and operated by the Suarez Family.

Sergio Suarez Sr. was born in Jalisco, Mexico; where tequila originates from. His son David Suarez, lead the efforts in creating La Tequileria Premium Tequila Lounge and Mexican Tapas. David saw the need for a place that captured the essence of their Mexican heritage and its sophistication. In thinking through La Tequileria's concept, he realized that the Chicago drink scene and nightlife didn't offer a place that focused on tequila. Chicago needed a place where people can learn, taste, and experience tequila as if you were in Jalisco, Mexico yourself. Through that vision, La Tequileria was born and opened its doors in late April 2017. In November 2017, the services extended to serve modern twist on Mexican Tapas!

The ambiance is very nice. The menu that is posted online is not what is offered at the restaurant. The menu in the restaurant is much smaller, so that was disappointing. The Ceviche was delicious, but I didn't like my entree. My husband's entree was okay. Their cocktails are creative and delicious. It may have been our server's first night because she didn't know the answer to any of our questions. She was very pleasant, though. I also thought it was a bit pricey.
