"I ate two very pleasant meals recently [4-3-2022 and 4-4-2022] at Don Tequila Mexican Grill Upper Arlington.Both of the restaurants at the Kingsdale Shopping Center where I normally eat [a Japanese/Korean restaurant and a taco restaurant] had been closed on those two days so I decided to eat at Tequila Mexican Grill.I had assumed that I would be returning to a Mexican restaurant where I have eaten occasionally in the past [Rancho Alegre] but instead found myself eating at a completely-new-to-me restaurant [that I understand had taken over the former Rancho Alegre space about two years ago].The Don Tequila Mexican Grill menu is huge and has many choices on many pages; it took me quite a while to decide what to order and eat. Below are the food choices that I had made on those two days.4-3-2022 (in the Veggie section of the menu)Mushroom Quesadilla with rice and beans4-4-2022 (in the Lunch section of the menu)Huevo Con Chorizo [Eggs with Mexican sausage, served with rice, beans, and tortillas]The food [both times when I had eaten there] had been delicious; the staff had been extremely friendly.My one disappointment with Don Tequila Mexican Grill had been the side dishes. The rice had been boiled white rice with some added flavoring and/or coloring [rather than being fried rice as I would have expected at a Mexican restaurant]; the beans had been far too liquid for me to easily eat with a fork.I would have preferred fried rice; I would have preferred less-liquid beans [my first choice for the beans] or to have been given a spoon with which to eat them [my second choice for the beans].Except for my disappointment with the rice and beans, the food at Don Tequila Mexican Grill had been delicious; I definitely plan to return."
