    Always have great entertainment!

    The food was incredible and I got it out super fast service. The waitresses were so friendly and made sure my margarita was never empty!

    Taco Tequila bar has added some fun diversity to Hillsboro! Conveniently located on old 21 in the heart of Hillsboro. I've been here a few times & every time the food has been great, even ordering something different each time! This Mexican restaurant adds a funky pop to it with its lit up bar area, but can be easily turned into a nice family dinner or for a large group of people! My husband said "this is the best burrito I've ever had from a Mexican restaurant" after ordering the grilled Chicken Burrito with queso on it. I had a shredded chicken chimichanga which was also delicious. Our waiter was great & was constantly checking in on us making sure we had everything we needed! I definitely recommend visiting this fun spot!

    Authentic Mexican restaurant and best margaritas! Great atmosphere and friendly staff

    Decided to try somewhere new and went here. The food was really good, though the service on the other hand was awful. There were a few issues. When ordering my quesadilla the waiter seemed to be getting frustrated at me because I did not want meat in the food but rather on the side. Then, when I ordered my water without ice for a second time, I was then handed a glass full ice and was spilling over the top. When I asked the waiter for a cup of water without ice she looked at me like I had three heads coming out of my neck and then proceeded to tell other workers about our table? There were many moments when we would turn around, and the waiters were talking to other staff and cooks about us. They even pulled one of the cooks out of the kitchen, and were all staring at us and talking amongst themselves. There was another moment when she had asked if we would like more chips which of course we did. She then took all of our bowls of chips and salsa and just dumped them. She then came back with one bowl of tortilla chips and only one tiny bowl of salsa for three people. Once it came time to pay, I had gone up and tipped 15% of my total. The person at the front desk then proceeded to ask if something was wrong because he thought I was tipping low but really it was 15%, which is normal for average service. I told him everything was fine and I walked back to the table. When back at the table, I look over and the guy that I had just finished paying with was talking to another worker about my low tip? Once we grabbed our food and were headed out, we said bye, and they just stared at us without saying anything. This experience is not normal and I've never once been treated the way I was treated until I've gone here.

I am only posting this as a warning for anyone else that wants to book a party with them. I have been a supporter of The Barn since the day they opened. It was my first choice when I wanted a cocktail in town. I booked my 30th birthday party with Steve back in November. I've been chatting with him about my party every time I saw him in between that time. We messaged back and forth about the logistics and how I would get the whole upstairs room. He also didn't ask me to pay a deposit and promised that he would put me down on the calendar. Fast forward to yesterday, I went up there to start decorating at 3 pm. I started walking up the stairs and noticed that someone else's decorations were already set up for a 40th birthday party. I immediately was like, Steve that's not my party. He then says, "Oh, you're downstairs!" I immediately knew that he had no idea what was going on. I was extremely disappointed but I decided to make it work. He said he would shut the bar down at 6 for my party He helped me set up a table for our food and I told him I'd be bringing in a balloon arch with a backdrop around 6. My husband spent the whole day cooking food for our party and I spent the day making sure everything would be perfect. When we got there at 6, the whole parking lot was full. We had to park on the street and upon our arrival we saw that the entire bar downstairs was full of people and then I saw a girl wearing a sash that said "my 21st birthday." This was a completely different party from what was going on upstairs. He not only double booked us but he TRIPLE booked us. He came outside acting as if he had no idea what was going on. He said he thought this party was us. I'm like... how do you get that confused? You knew my party started at 6:30. He tried to have us move the party outside. I did not want to do that because we would have to go in and out for drinks. The woman that planned the 21st was so nice to me and even offered to combine our parties. She told me that he did the exact same thing to her, she thought she would get the upstairs as well. He also told her that she wouldn't need to pay anything at all to have her party there, but told me that I would have to pay a fee the day of. At that point, I didn't want to give them my business anymore. I was over it. Thank God we were able to move my party to Top Shooters and they were able to accommodate us. We obviously weren't able to bring any of the food that we made, but it was better than nothing. Steve at The Barn needs to hire someone else to plan parties if he is unable to plan and coordinate them himself. Unfortunately this experience was a learning lesson for me. Anytime I plan or book a party somewhere, I need to make sure there's a contract in place. I hope that everyone reads this learns from me and does not book with The Barn.

Steven was an amazing guide and has the whole place set up perfectly. I would recommend eating before you come, they do have snacks, that were really good, but nothing like a heavy dinner, which we probably needed. And I think i might have drank the whole gallon of water just trying to keep my self sane. Ha! Water is abundant. The guys got to rate all the kinds of whiskey and then make their own bottle, they got to name their bottle and we brought home 2 glasses. What I really paid for was the Barrel Experience and a tasting. I could see this spot getting very busy on the weekends, so I will say we went on a Thursday and we basically had the place to ourselves. There is plenty of comfy seating and the place has such great decor. If you or your partner like Whiskey, you need to check this out!
