TLDR: get an Horchata and chicken tacos. I taste tested 3 different tacos here vs the same 3 different tacos at another taco shop within walking distance. Description below but first let me say, I love the feeling in this place. It's clean, hip, and friendly. I would have no problem going on a date here or bringing colleagues for lunch. Head to head taco test: Al Pastor: here it was the same pastor that you get everywhere where they do not roast the meat on a trompo. It was tender and flavorful, but missing that roasted, crispy flavor and texture that you get when it is done the traditional way. The competitor taco had much better meat texture but the whole taco was dry compared to the one at tequila. My recommendation to these guys is to invest in a trompo, or otherwise at least bbq the meat so that it gets crispy and pastor-saucy. If they do that it will be the best pastor north of DF. Carne Asada: honestly, just ok. The competitor taco was steak-y and tasted like it had been barbecued over coals, it was delicious. This one was beefy, but not steaky...you know? The competitor had a too much gristle though, while this one was very tender. Chicken: This is where Taco Tequila totally beat the competition. The chicken in this one was moist, flavorful. If I had to guess I would say it was a mix of dark and white meat with some really great marinade. The competition was just plain roasted chicken, not super flavorful. I will get these next time I go back. Other differences: the competitor tacos were bigger, but more expensive. Seriously though, these were totally big enough and you really should eat less anyway, you're out of control. These came with rice and beans while the competitors did not. I do feel like the rice and beans could be more...remarkable. Would love to see a Mexican restaurant take a little creative license and do something different with the beans and rice, but I digress. The service was much friendlier and welcoming at Tacos Tequila than the competitor, and finally, the horchata here was amazing! I'm going back next week to try the things I missed. read more

There's a small taco joint one of the busiest streets in Norwalk and it's called Taco Tequila. I decided to try a basic quesadilla and an al pastor taco. The quesadilla was pretty good and the al pastor taco had good flavor as well. The side chips that came with the order were stale and lacking that crunchiness I look for when eating a tortilla chip. My coworker didn't care for the rice and beans either. Other then that this place is a great lunch spot. read more

Very good, ignored no bean request but still ate the whole burrito in less than a minute read more

Amazing tacos! I came here starving after work. The house margarita was great. I had chicken tacos with rice and beans (only $2 extra!). The chicken was marinated well and very flavorful. They serve tons of sauces in the side, too. Wish they had a verde sauce that was more spicy, but the hot sauce was great. read more

Rarely do I feel compelled to write a food review. But in this case, I'm so satisfied with the food and service that it is a must that I share. I ordered tacos dorados for dinner last night, had it delivered in less than 30 minutes. Texture, freshness, quality, portion size - it was everything I could've asked for. The perfect amount of food in my opinion. I thought to myself....could this be a fluke? So I order the exact same thing for lunch today, and as sure as the sun rises everyday, the food and delivery was perfect again. 5 stars+ highly recommended. You will not be disappointed! read more

Tacos were fresh but flavor wise they were just ok. I went to the take out side so its small. My kids overall loved it but i would have liked more flavor. read more

These are some DELICIOUS authentic tacos! Small restaurant, very casual, with great friendly service. I believe they don't have alcohol, which is a bit deceiving by the name, but I have to say the atmosphere and good company just makes you forget you even wanted the tequila in the first place. AND it's all at a decent price, I definitely recommend! read more

A friend of mine asked if I wanted them to bring me a burrito for lunch , not ever eaten any food from this place I opened my lunch bag to a heavy box of food. Upon opening the box was the biggest burrito I ever had in my life. As well as fresh tortilla chips. I asked how much I owed her and she said $9 . It was $7.99 for the lunch. It was delicious / affordable and truly a Gem to find ! I could not recommend this place more !! GO! read more

I was recommended to give this restaurant a try so I did. I wasn't greeted right away one worker was placing the order and making the food where the other workers were on their phone and it almost took an hr to have the order be given to me. When I started to eat the steak burrito the steak was very dry and the flavor was very dull. I'm big on customer service and respect, the service here is very unprofessional. I wont come here again and I will let other people know these workers don't have the respect for customers when they are not greeted. read more

I had a burrito and my friend had a chicken quesadilla. The food tasted rubbery and had no flavor. I don't know if the waitress had a bad day or what but from the start asking my order the woman gave me an attitude for no reason. Just plain disrespectful !!! I do not recommend this place to anyone !! read more

Popped in because I saw mini tres leches cakes through the storefront. The cake was so moist and tasted amazing! I was still full from lunch next door but I can't wait to come back to try the tacos!! Updated review to follow. read more

Amazing margaritas. And the food is fresh and delicious. Cool interior and friendly staff. We started off with the guacamole and chips and they gave us a lot of guacamole. We shared the molcajete. read more

ABSOLUTELY THE WORST EVER!!! ORDER WAS OVER 90 MINUTES LATE. FOOD WAS COLD, SPILED EVERYWHERE IN BAG, and food was inedible. The guacamole was actually brown and clearly had been left out for some time. Called and they did nothing. The owner, Maria was as rude as they came and said it wasn't her problem it was grub hub, and manager Luis was nowhere to be found. Always an excuse when clearly it was their responsibility to have food prepared properly. Never again. The GrubHub Driver filled his responsibility. Taco Tequila did not!!! read more

Authentic and delicious Mexican food. Very good service, simple and satisfying menu. Great for kids and adults! Come see them, I can't wait to come back !!!. (Plus, $8 for three tacos... can't beat it!) read more

Taco tuesday is a great deal. All you can eat tacos and a drink for 25$. Tacos are good and fresh. Staff was super friendly

Great dinner delivered by Uber eats. Except for the 'sweet' pork. Super gross. The previous recipe had pineapple to balance the savory Taste of the pork. This version tastes like someone poured simple sugar over a beautifully braised pork butt. Gross. Inedible. The rest was great. Love you guys. Not your sweet meats. Change the recipe. Please. read more

Please NEVER buy chipotle again and buy from this delicious establishment. I got a chicken burrito that had the perfect portion and had such wonderful Flavor. The churros are to die for!!!! So tasty and probably better than the ones I had in Mexico City from a famous establishment. My only feedback was I'd like the pico to have a little more sauce in it to dip the chips in. It was a little dry. But that is just a side note. read more

This place is great! I usually get the tacos, the beef, chicken and pork carnitas. The chips and guacamole are both made fresh. The flan is good, but very sweet. The tres leches is AWESOME! And this place is not expensive, totally worthy - give it a try read more

Came in for some tacos for lunch. Tries the pastor con piña, sweet pork, and the chorizo con papa. Incredible. They provide a number of different sauces (from red/hot to green/mild and an absolutely incredible cilantro ranch sauce that could go on anything. 10/10 would come back. read more

Had a meal from their food truck, it was delicious! Fresh guacamole and chips was tasty. Too often places cheap out and give you a small portion of stale chips, not this place. They give you a good portion of quality chips The steak quesadilla was fantastic, good size and great flavor with some nice sauces on the side. The staff working it was also very pleasant and prices were more than reasonable. I'll have to visit the restaurant! read more

Ok our order delivery came in good time - but without our 2 cokes and guacamole and chips. Then my daughter bit into a toothpick in her tacos dorado. Yuk Not ordering again from Taco Tequila. Oh and I tried to call to talk to them but the phone goes to voicemail THEN HANGS UP ON YOU. Go figure. read more

Really underwhelming. Edible? Yes. But will you feel happy and glad you ate it? Not really. But you will have eaten so there's that to be grateful for. read more

I drive past this everyday and always want to go in. Today I went for the first time and wow. To start off it's a very clean and organized establishment. Literally everyone inside (customers/employees) had a smile on their face and were great. I ordered a chicken burrito, chips and salsa, and a spinach and feta empanada. All of these were great. The chips and salsa were obviously what you'd expect. The burrito was very full and the ingredients were very even within. I hate biting into a burrito and getting only lettuce. With this you get every taste at once. For me that's a big deal. The empanada has so much flavor and seemed to be one of the best I've had maybe ever. I'm interested in trying their all day breakfast. Great place, great people, and great menu. read more

My go to spot for quick, fresh and delicious tacos. So great every time! If you haven't tried you are missing out. read more

I had chicken and asada classic tacos Amazing!!! The guacamole was delicious and the beers were ice cold! The servers were nice and attentive. I wish I lived closer to eat here regularly ! So so GOOD! read more

Needed a fast dinner. This place was perfect. We were seated, fed, and on our way out the door all within 30 minutes. We got a variety of tacos and some rice and beans. All the food was very good. Service was fast and friendly. Tiny complaint: bigger lime wedges would be nice. read more

We had Taco Tequila Truck at our party on 6/26/21 and they were awesome! People raved about the food. They set up quickly and easily and the fixings table was so great...the street corn and guacamole were huge hits. 2 hours of all you can eat tacos, burritos and quesidialla's were all delicious! I would certainly recommend to anyone near Norwalk CT to try them for their next party! read more

There must be something special about this spot because it's also where Valencia first started. We decided to check out this spot and are glad we did. There isn't a shortage of taco spots in Norwalk, but if I've learned anything as a result of my obsession with tacos, it's that unlike pizza, there is such a thing as bad tacos. To get quality Mexican tacos, you need them made by real Mexicans, which is exactly what you get at Taco Tequila! Anything you get here is amazing - they have a variety of taco meats, tortas, salads, burritos and quesadillas! Of course they also have desserts like tres leches, flan, and churros. If you're a fan of horchata, this is the best horchata I've ever had - no exaggeration. I'm partial to local spots run by families with great food so I love this place. The decor is great, the food is delicious, and the service is exceptional. Definitely check them out!! read more

I have been to this restaurant so many many time but didn't get to do the review as the food serve, and I just start to eat it and totally forgot to take photo. The food is very fresh and authentic. The owner is very welcoming and present. I definitely recommend this restaurant to the local and people who passing thru town. And definitely try the churros, very good and not too oily. read more

I grew up in Southern California and you definitely get spoiled by having access to the most amazing Mexican food. I don't expect to find anything even remotely comparable on the east coast (the last place I found was on Cape Cod, but they went out of business more than 15 years ago). But holy cow, Taco Tequila is here! This place is lovingly run by husband-wife team Luis and Maria and their tacos are all authentic. Go ahead and indulge in their 3-taco special and pick anything because you won't go wrong. I tried the chorizo, barbacoa, and carnitas. Every bite took me back to my childhood, the food trucks (before they were even a thing), Olvera street, East LA, oh my gosh... these guys are the real deal. Enjoy their perfect side of rice and beans with your tacos. Enjoy your tacos there of course, in their cozy little hideaway tucked modestly along Main in Norwalk. Sublime. Do you still have room? Then ask for their desserts of the day, and if they've got a tres leches cake, then you know what I'm going to say. Viva Taco Tequila! read more

Just did a Uber from them. Outstanding Food! A future go to for both delivery and pick up Mexican foos with soul Well done! read more

With five Mexican restaurants in our small town, it might seem crazy to drive 15 minutes to Taco Tequila. But eat here just once and you will understand why... they have the best, most authentic Mexican food in our area. And their Chilaquiles are the best I've had since living in the Bay Area. Excellent service and super speedy delivery (although I usually pick up). read more

We ordered via Grubhub, it came quickly. Quac was missing but other than that it was one of the worst meals ever. Burrito was chock full of pineapple and mango, tacos were so dry, the chicken one tasted really bad. Burritos were fine, dry, but fine. Everything ended up in the trash. This place has great reviews but for this family of four it was an utter utter fiasco, not to be repeated. Ever. read more

Great tacos, great margarita, pleasant staff. Took my kid here yesterday as a reward for getting a haircut and we had a blast.

This place is a bit of a hidden secret. I had driven past it a hundred times without noticing it but I'm glad I finally did! "Real Mexican Food by Real Mexicans" is their slogan and it makes a difference. The food is always very fresh - without that canned, pasty bean stuff you see at some places. I've tried and loved almost everything on the menu but I have to say the sweet pork is out of this world. They simmer it in pineapple juice. Sounds weird, but it's a bite of heaven. The wait staff and the owner are all very nice. I go hear regularly and always love it. read more

Omg I love this place! Taco Tequila Taqueria is my new favorite spot. I will definitely re-order again with Uber Eats. As a reference, I ordered the tacos dorados, 3 soft tacos meal and chips with guacamole. The food arrived nice and warm. The potions are very good and the food has a lot of flavor. I love the side sauces and packaging arrived excellent. No soggy food thank God! Thank you for providing good quality food and great pricing. read more

Tried this place for the first time today, and certainly won't be the last time! The service was great, the man who took my order was so nice and helped out with suggestions for the people after me also. Tacos were pretty good! On Tuesdays they have a deal that you get 3 tacos and rice and black beans for $6.99. The man who took my order also brought me over some chips while I was waiting. The Pastor taco was the best out of the three that I got (pollo and carne asada were the other 2). The pollo taco I was a little worried about at first cause it didn't look as good as it was, but the flavor was definitely there. Good food for cheap! read more
