The dish features house-made potato chips, topped with the tasty short rib pieces, buffalo cream cheese, Cotija, jalapeños, bacon, lettuce, tomato and onion. Dive in again and again and you’ll pull up a chip with a different flavor mix,
each just as good as the last. The stackers can be shared, but don’t worry, we won’t tell if you keep it all for yourself.

Served on soft flour tortillas, the tacos come two to a serving.
Other taco selections available are shrimp, chicken fajita and ground beef.
Tequila’s also serves a ground beef taco salad and a Southwestern chicken salad, both just right for a crisp, cool
summer meal.

quesadilla (made with the same tasty short rib as the stacker) with jalapeños and Cojita cheese, or have a fajita made of marinated chicken, grilled steak or Gulf shrimp and then piled high with Spanish rice, grilled peppers,
