About Us
Our Mexican restaurant was originally founded in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic in May of 1992 , opening its doors in August 1992 . In June 2008 it was decided to close and continue this dream in the United States. Undecided where to start we met Rich and Kelly Kent who were very excited about the idea and invited us to visit Waverly Tn. Needless to say we fell in love with this small town. So we decided to make the move.
We're working to better our community. Since our opening in 2008, Tequila John's has prioritized assisting various area charitable organizations. We currently have ongoing relationships with numerous worthy organizations and institutions, including: The United Way, Waverly High School Band and the American Cancer Society.
