Reviews Summary
Tequila 61 is celebrated for its creative Latin fusion cuisine, particularly its flavorful tacos and well-balanced dishes, complemented by an impressive selection of craft cocktails.

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Tequila 61 is a must-visit in Anchorage! We had an incredible meal here — hands down one of our best dining experiences on the trip. The food is authentic and absolutely delicious (don’t miss the tortilla soup or the salmon dinner — both were outstanding!). The drinks were just as amazing, and the vibe was perfect. This should’ve been our first stop in Anchorage and should be everyone’s #1 go-to spot. Can’t wait to come back!"

"From the moment we walked into Tequila 61, the ambiance set the tone for a relaxing dinner. The decor appear to be very well thought out and the flower bouquets are a very nice touch. The Latin music created a laid back vibe that made us feel instantly at home (we are visiting from Orlando).
After an afternoon of hiking the Matanuska Glacier, our server Ana A started us with the berry soda and Popcorn Shrimp which was very flavorful. For our main entree, Ana A recommended the 14 oz Gaucho steak which was absolutely just what I needed.
We also tried the Halibut and the Duck Confit Tacos as well as the Carne Asada Tacos. The Duck Confit was absolutely delicious!!!!!
And for dessert, we wrapped things up with the Horchata Cornbread which was unexpectedly better than I thought it would be.
Overall, I loved Tequila 61. If I get the chance to go again beforethe end of my trip, I'm going to try the Salmon."
Antonio Rodriguez
"I really enjoyed this spot. The decor was nice and the location was easy to find. It has a nice upscale feel to it but still comfortable for any occasion.
We had the oysters, steak, and fish tacos. All the food was top notch and the cocktails were good too!"
