    Chips and salsa
    Michael M.

    Stopped by for a late lunch/early dinner as it had been quite awhile since we had eaten here. We were brought the salsa and chips immediately that were great. I ordered the Carnitas plate and my wife the Chicken Fajitas. Talk about a ton of food! We barely touched and brought enough home for two more meals each! The food was authentic Mexican and delicious. Service was exceptional and the decor made you feel like you were in a modern upscale Spanish restaurant.

    Whoa! I was blown away by this spot. Hidden gem in menifee and hidden I mean hidden . It's in the corner of a new shopping center so easy to miss but you don't want to. The food was fresh and delicious. The service was too too notch, such pretty girls and guys for wait staff . The ambience is so inviting , very instagram pic worthy and they even have an outdoor patio. The music was 2000s to new age pop so right up my alley. 10/10 on the food and drinks! I will definitely be back!

    Services amazing!! Ambiance is sports bar meets family friends without being too loud. Ceviche I am still thinking about. Other food we order was just okay , drinks were made with love and you could taste it . Would definitely go again!

    Taco Tuesday?? Say less! Tacos & Tequila is a great spot for a chill time with a fun atmosphere. They have so many options on the menu that it's honestly hard to choose. Their taco happy hour is where it's at, in my opinion good portions and solid flavor. That said, they could use a bit more of a "wow" factor to really stand out. One standout, though, was their camarones a la diablo absolutely delicious with a smoky, spicy flavor. I've never had them prepared like this before; usually it's just pure heat, but this had a depth that really elevated the dish! Our bartender/server was great very attentive throughout our visit, which definitely elevated the experience. The chips and salsa were a highlight! Both salsas were flavorful and definitely a hit. The michelada could use a bit more seasoning and personality. As for drinks, the Tamarindo margarita was tasty, but it felt a bit light on the alcohol or maybe just very well masked. Not that I was looking for something super strong, but a little more presence would have been nice (and I'm a lightweight, so that says something!). Parking is easy with plenty of space available. I'd recommend making a reservation if you're not planning to sit at the bar, since it's clearly a popular spot

    We enjoyed our first dining experience there. Not your typical Mexican restaurant. Giving eclectic vibes. Dark interior. Food was good. We had empanada's, shrimp taco, and blackened fish taco. Blackened fish was spicy. Margaritas were good and strong. The only thing they could improve on is pushing back the hostess stand. It's too close to the door.

    FOOD POISONING... I've been here 3 times, and each time there was conflict in the restaurant.. my table never involved but just a tense atmosphere and bad customer service. This last time I went on Sunday, and it'll be my last time. We ordered fish tacos and ceviche, ate around 4pm.. I woke up at midnight throwing up from food poisoning. I had noticed a green mold looking area on my tortilla but ignored it cause I was hungry. I don't think it was the tortilla that made me sick, I think the ceviche was bad. The ceviche tasted off and wasn't "cold"... Aside from the food poisoning, my honest review is this place isn't authentic Mexican, they don't bring out the proper sauces with mariscos.. and the "spiciest" salsa isn't spicy. And the customer service is lacking. Servers take their time with request, and their is a lack of team effort on the floor. I asked a hostess for salsa, and she said "I'll let your server know", server didn't come back until after 10 mins later. That's 10 minutes my food is sitting while waiting for salsa.. We paid $95 for one appetizer, one plate of tacos, and TWO margaritas. High price for bad quality and slow service. Wish this restaurant the best and hope they can improve.

    Tacos & Tequila did not disappoint! Our service from Diana was excellent. She was incredibly attentive, provided great recommendations, and even acted as our photographer between course, she is amazing! The food recommendations were spot on. I tried my friend's octopus tacos for the first time; they were very tender, though a little salty for my taste. The ribeye guacamole was delicious and refreshing, and the ribeye appetizer was really good, seasoned to perfection and juicy. The carne asada tacos were also very tasty. From the bar we ordered Lalo shots, & the cucumber margarita which was my favorite, as it was perfectly refreshing. I was not personally a fan of the black widow margarita. It's supposed to be a top seller, not my preference. The ambiance was cool, and the music really added to the vibe. The manager, Gustavo, checked on us at the end of the meal, and we had nothing but great things to say. We made sure to tell him that Diana deserves a raise!

    Burnt Beans, Old Rice & Cheese Burrito (needed sustenance and ate half out of hunger not enjoyment)
    Buddy N.

    Dined in for Two, we ordered: Rolled Taquitos, Carne Asada Quesadilla, and a Bean, Cheese and Rice Burrito (ordered off the menu). And two soft drinks. First off, I really don't understand all the great reviews about his place, they're the reason we visited. The Hostess was awkward and visibly upset when we asked for a booth when she suggested we eat next to a hot window. We were sat at a booth right next to the unisex bathroom and kept getting gusts of stinky poop smell. The ambience is very annoying, it seems as if they are confused about what kind of restaurant they want to be. Is it a Sports Bar? Fancy Mexican Restaurant? Night Club? The menu makes you believe it's a Fancy Mexican Restaurant, all the while the tv's by the bar play sports games and loud annoying music over the sound system makes you believe it's a Sports Bar/Night club. Now the food...the food is awful. The end. (Well, what we ordered anyway) But more specifically, imagine the worst Mexican fast food served on a fancy plate... Soft Drink 1 $5: Sprite: Good Soft Drink 2 $5: Coke: Bad (too syrupy and flat) Bean, Cheese and Rice Burrito $16: Beans tasted old and burnt, rice tasted old and stale (possibly microwaved). The only decent thing was the tortilla. Carne Asada Quesadilla $18: The Meat tasted dry and old, hardly any cheese and tortilla was dry. Rolled Taquitos $15: The only kind of edible dish that was served, still not very good, We were expecting something much different from the original title and description. Taquitos are small, chicken tasted old and the sauce was just canned enchilada sauce. This dish should be called "Mini Taquitos Enchiladas"(to be nice) or "Taquitos Abominación" (to be honest) Seems like they just plated them very nicely as to cover up the mediocre taste. One positive is that the service was amazing, our server (Angelina) was very attentive and friendly. The food came out quick, which in this case, wasn't a good thing. We did mention to our server that the food "wasn't very good" she said we "should've said something earlier" (not sure what that meant) but we still decided to pay the full amount. I wish they could've accommodated a refund or percentage off the check or something. The total amount for everything including Taxes & Tip was $74.77. Very over priced especially for what we've experienced and ultimately not worth it. We will not be returning to this place. It's a shame we hardly finished our plates (we were hungry mind you) except for the taquitos which were somewhat the only edible thing on the table besides the chips, both of which still being not good, including the salsas that were provided. I'm hoping they do some quality control on every item on the menu, They truly need it. You should be ashamed, Tacos & Tequila. P.S. And to top it all off, we both are experiencing stomach issues after consuming their food, I'd say stay away from this place. And for the love of God don't trust the rave reviews!!

    Ribeye guacamole
    Becky B.

    Great place with a lot of seating and a good variety of dishes that you don't find at your average Mexican restaurant. Their michelada and tamarind margarita were delicious! I had the ribeye guacamole with is fried ribeye on fresh smashed avocado. I had this dish for the first time in Oaxaca, Mexico and was happy to see it here, it was so good!

    Cadillac margarita ,  great service, love the bartenders Daniel and other. Good food fair price.

    Service, vibe and drinks. Good music, comfy chairs, amazing servers. We habe come here a lot of times.

    Amazing food and excellent service provided by Diana. Fast, friendly and quick food to our table. Great place to head to after golf.

    Receipt

    7-18-26 Today was my first time goung here. A friend of mine lives very close and I had been curious about it. The service was a 4+ out of 5 and the food was excellent. I ordered the Enchiladas Verdes with Carnitas plate. Very yummy. BUT, we also ordered Cadillac Margaritas and although they were very tasty; as they should be, we didn't know the price was $17 EACH! Our meals were $21 for a large plate...so $17 for a small glass margarita?! Yes, it was a juice size glass NOT a typical Margaritas-size glass. So, my meal with 2 drinks came to $67.96. PRETTY STEEP. So, if you plan to go there to order alcoholic beverages, I suggest you go during happy hour to save yourself the final bill SHOCK...or ask what the drink cost will be first.

What keeps me coming back is the feeling of home you get when you're here. The tortellini, ahi tuna, and other offerings go far beyond the typical greasy bar food. There's genuinely something for everyone, and the quality continues to impress. The recent changes to the interior, while not extensive, have made a noticeable improvement to the overall atmosphere and experience. But what truly sets The Cove apart is the staff. They are amazing, even when the place is busy, and especially when dealing with difficult customers who sometimes fail to treat them like human beings and instead act as though they're servants--and sadly, sometimes worse. The restraint, patience, and professionalism the staff show in those situations should be recognized and rewarded. They are a huge part of what makes The Cove special and, ultimately, what keeps people coming back. One person who stands out, among a staff full of genuinely caring people, is Savannah. The staff at The Cove remember your name, remember what you like, and make you feel like more than just another customer. Savannah embodies that perfectly. She always greets everyone who walks through the door with a warm welcome and a thousand-watt smile. Even when she's extremely busy, Savannah takes the time to make each person or group feel special and appreciated. She genuinely cares about the customer experience, and you can see it in the way she interacts with everyone. People like Savannah are what turn a place from somewhere you go to eat or watch a game into somewhere that feels like home. We all have countless choices when deciding where to spend our hard-earned money, and the people who make you feel welcome are what make that choice easy. Steelers football may have been what brought me through the door, but the people and the feeling of home are what keep me coming back.
