Tequilas Mexican Bar & Grill has fresh Tex-Mex Juan Carlos Jimenez said Tequilas Mexican Bar & Grill specializes in Tex-Mex fajitas and provides quality, consistent and authentic Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine made from scratch. The backstory Jimenez began his career in 1993 working for restaurants in Seattle. He has also owned restau- rants in Colorado and Boston. With 30 years of experience as well as family
support, Tequilas Mexican Bar & Grill opened in Cy-Fair in 2018, and a second location opened in Katy in 2019. The restaurant’s second location is run by Jimenez’s brothers. Jimenez said although the location of the Cy-Fair restaurant has competition with its surrounding restaurants, he chose the location due to the sense of community it provides with its surrounding businesses and schools. Giving back to the community is important to him. “We try to help and support the community when we can,” Jimenez said. “Even if it’s just something simple like chips and salsa or beans and rice, we help where we can.”
The details Some restaurant favorites include its steak options and arroz con pollo, which includes diced chicken breast or shrimp sautéed in special sauce with mushrooms, onions and bell peppers, and served over a bed of rice, lettuce, tomato and avocado slices. Another customer favorite is the mojarra frita—a whole fried tilapia with garlic spices served with salad. Dessert options include churros, an and tres leches cake. Although the eatery specializes in margaritas with over 20 avors, the restaurant oers a full bar and weekend karaoke.
