Walking along Ashford Avenue in San Juan, we remembered reading about Tacos & Tequila in the Condado Vanderbilt hotel. So, we decided to stop by for a bite. We chose seating outside (of course). The area is beautiful with views of the ocean and a nice breeze. There was a small pool on the other side of our table with 6 in pool loungers. Very cool. Our server was friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. My husband had Tinga tacos which were so flavorful and fresh. I opted for the Birria tacos which I have never had (gasp). Omgoodness - talk about a flavor explosion! The shredded beef ribs were super tender and filled with all sorts of goodness! If you are in the area, definitely stop by for a treat! read more

Practically on the beach, the interior is light and airy, with large open glass doors. There is also seating outside on the patio. Service was very courteous but not quick. Excellent guacamole and blue corn tortilla chips. The chilaquiles were a bit disappointing compared to the way it is prepared elsewhere. These were basically nachos; lots of chips, not enough chicken or sauce. A nice spot for lunch. read more

Pros: excellent atmosphere. Good drinks. Cons: slow and inattentive service A salsa that was horrible who puts mayonnaise in salsa Tacos Al pastor, served as a tostada, pork loin with zero seasoning and no pineapple to be found. The Flan was actually okay but it was not flan no Carmel. Read the reviews I'm not the only one that thinks that this place sucks Cost 165 dollars for chips and salsa 3 tacos, flan and 3 drinks read more

Tacos were fine. Guac was delicious! A great selection of non alcoholic margaritas that I really appreciated being pregnant. Beautiful view of the beach. Service is a little spotty but I only ordered via the pool. read more

Tacos & Tequila - Parch margarita - Mexican Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

upscale Mexican spot with really nice atmosphere/seating/view. I thought the food was decent overall but it's a pretty high price point. I think that you can generally find something better value at a place like Acapulco tacos on Calle Loiza instead if you're looking for more street tacos. Better spot to go if you're in the hotel or just want a really nice atmosphere vs. the food itself. read more

The dining room was fully reserved so we were seated in the bar at a high table. The wind gusts in from the ocean, so bring a hair tie. MG took a video because her long, wildly curly hair was tossed about while we ate. Service was good, Sarah & Hector were friendly, prompt, and accommodating. Margaritas are good and MG enjoyed the El Viejo (a bit spicy) while I had a margarita. The Camarones de Coco (coconut shrimp) was delicious but my Tuna Tostado set my mouth on fire and I changed my order to the shrimp. The shrimp are huge, light tempura batter and coconut covered in a delicious sauce. I was too hungry to snap a photo! We ended up eating here twice because it is close to the Condado Ocean Club but in a nicer hotel. Food, service, atmosphere, drinks were all top notch! read more

Great ambience. Ocean views. Good service. Really good tacos. Didn't take photos because toddler had my phone. Chicken quesadillas were a hit with the kiddo but the tortilla was a bit soggy. Soggy nachos too. I like my nachos to have crunch, even if covered in cheese, chicken, and beans. Loved the fish tacos, al pastor tacos, and jalapeño margarita. I'll try to go again and take photos this time. The menu is a bit confusing. For some tacos you must order at least two but for some tacos one is ok. Overall, had a great time. It was a little pricey, but the ocean views and taco quality made up for that. read more

We had a good dinner at Tacos and Tequila! The online reviews are a bit mixed... we thought it was pretty good. Our waitress was decent, although she did disappear at times (it wasn't crowded, we could see the few tables she was serving). The prices are expensive for the value here, $20+ for cocktails... when you add the island's 17.5% taxes at restaurants, a $200 tab happens quickly. (PS the suggested tips are based on the inflated "after taxes" bill amount... watch out for that!). The octopus ceviche was decent, a bit fishy (pretty common in PR for seafood). The chips served with it were good. We had the seared tuna in green mole next... that was better! The gastro star of the nice was our last dish, the chicken tinga tacos. We agreed we should have started there! LOL Tacos and Tequila is located in a posh hotel, worth the visit to walk around. A good meal, we recommend it... read more

Located inside our hotel with a beautiful view of the ocean and an open air concept did not disappoint. We started our experience with fresh, crunchy tortilla rounds and excellent guacamole. The Elotes Street corn Was the best I've ever tasted, perfectly balanced flavors. You really can't go wrong with any choices of tacos That are on the menu,Everything was perfectly seasoned and a good size portion.you can get either two or three tacos we found two were be plenty.the camarones de coco (coconut Shrimp) Was better than anything you'll be eating at your local pub anytime soon.four Jumbo shrimp Fried in a coconut tempura batter with sweet soy and cilantro Was probably the best bite of the night. finished off with cinnamon churro, swirls that we dipped into a hot Mexican chocolate, perfecto! Friendly service, and good price point. located inside the Condado Vanderbilt, You don't have to be a guest of the hotel to dine here.that being said, I would recommend giving it a try if you were out on the town on Ashford Avenue in San Juan. read more

Food is mediocre. Service was super slow. And it was $300 for 5 of us. Chilaquiles had no red sauce! It was just bad nachos.

Great view restaurant part of Condado Hotel. Disappointing meal. Tortilla chicken soup was good but lukewarm. The tacos- fish - were also lukewarm and mediocre though very expensive. read more

- View was amazing that's the only reason they get two stars - Food was decent, extremely overpriced. Expect to pay $10 per small street taco -Service was the worst part. Went at not a busy hour, was seated immediately but rarely saw server and all in waited almost an hour and a half for our food to come out. Then waited another 20 min for our server to even bring our change back read more

Great find with a perfect view. A little slow to get our drinks out but food came quickly. We ordered the guac and shishito peppers both which were great. Tacos came in either sets of 2 or 3. Super tasty- no complaints at our table. Ask for their hot sauce. Seems homemade and very yummy. They are located on the backside of the hotel. We took the path to the right after eating and came upon the public beach where we got some sun after! read more

Tacos & Tequila - 1 lobster taco, 1 sweet potato taco - Mexican Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

We went with a party of 9. We got the guacamole, the corn appetizer, the Queso and the tuna appetizer to start. I loved the corn and Queso dish. The guac and tuna were good. I had the fish tacos for dinner. The fish was perfect with great crisp and flavor. We were a large group so everything took a while which is understandable. I did not love the prices. The margarita was something like $17 or $19. This place is good but just know you will be spending some decent money to go here. The hotel it is in is very pretty. I would have loved to have a drink at the hotels bar which was gorgeous. Overall good experience just expensive for what it is. read more

The beautiful atmosphere and stunning ocean views of this restaurant caught my eye upon arrival to San Juan. We were not guests of the Condado Vanderbilt and I felt as if the employees looked down on us for this reason. On a more positive note, the staff seemed well trained and knew the menu quite well. The presentation of all of our dishes was beautiful and garnished accordingly. Don't get me wrong, the food was good, however, there was not much of a "wow" factor that made the dishes worth their price in my opinion. The guacamole was great, but not worth $19- and for that price, it seemed stingy to be charged $4 for extra chips when there were hardly any provided in the first place. The Fish, Shrimp, and Al Pastor tacos were tasty, however, I think they could easily be replicated, just like their average jalapeno margarita. Overall, this beachside restaurant has lovely scenery going for them, however, if you aren't looking to pay a premium for mediocre food, then I strongly suggest checking out any of the other beachside establishments on Ashford Avenue. read more

Good atmosphere but the food is a pricey and an absolute joke. I ordered two fish tacos and one al pastro - the fish taco was okay, but merely lukewarm, and the al pastor felt like pork jerky with dressing and served with canned pineapple. I asked for salsa on the side and they charged $3 more for a small salsa. Oh well ‍ Overall, the food is incredibly disappointing (having read the review before coming). read more

Great scenery on outdoor patio in the evening . Service was very good. Food was good and drinks were fantastic

We went late night for some tacos. The pulpo ceviche was good and well balanced. Our cocktails were delicious. As for the tacos- yes they are good, but don't go there hungry if you are not looking to spend. We also had carne asada tacos and it was really just meat on the tacos; still delicious and light- but to charge 20$ for 2 tacos was kind of laughable. I would say each individual taco looked like it should have been priced 5$ at most. Our server was so nice and attentive. The ambiance was cute with a view of the hot tub and pool area which we did enjoy looking at. read more

Good service, good views, average food, one vegetarian option- which was a mushroom quesadilla that was too salty. Mushrooms can be controversial so wish there was another vegetarian option. Guac had mint in it which was weird. Jalepeno margaritas were delicious. Wouldn't go back but convenient as it is in the hotel. read more

Cute poolside restaurant located in the Condado Vanderbilt Hotel. Service was a 10 out of 10 as soon as you walk in, until you leave. The tacos were delicious my fav was the lobster and the watermelon tomato salad I could eat every day - drinks 10 out of 10! read more

Tacos & Tequila - Carne and chicken tacos - Mexican Near Me - San Juan, Puerto Rico

Ok this place is good if you know what to order... and I'm going to tell you right now. First, skinny margarita is delicious and large. No hangovers and less calories/sugar. Second, we tried the chicken tinga taco. It was just ok. I should've trusted the other reviews. The tacos are just ok. Nothing noteworthy. Third, order the ribeye!!!! Trust me. It's worth it if you can share with someone else. It's delicious and comes with corn tortillas, onion, cilantro, homemade salsa, beans and amazing potatoes drizzled with either sour cream or crema. You can even go crazy and order the guacamole as your appetizer, and then save some for your ribeye. Oh man! Overall a solid meal. Satisfied our steak craving and left us full. If you're coming here, do it right! read more

We went yesterday for lunch and anniversary on out last day in San Juan. Their food was pricy but I guess its due to being in the Condado Vanderbilt. We had small tacos, the tinga (chicken) el pastor and shrimp and two delicious drinks!! That I don't know what was in them... but omg did I get messed up lol (which is not my norm after 1 drink). Oh their chip and salsa and guacamole is not the same as the states ... it was ok, but we could've done without. The tacos were good but we've had better. But C'est la vie! read more

We decided we wanted to stay in the hotel complex for dinner TT was at the base of the east tower elevator so we tried it we sat on the deck overlooking the ocean the service was impeccable my wife had a "patron margarita " She said it was the best she gas ever had. Good start. Our server was fast to greet us and take our order of course when in Rome we had Tacos they came fast really fast big plus... my wife had the signature chicken tacos I had two el pastor and one chicken ... First the tacos are huge the pastor's were topped with cilantro and pineapple hmmmmm and were fantastic the chicken was local raised and very good. We also had the guacamoleI will say it was a bit different I had cilantro and mint in it and was also very good . I thought price was a bit steep $9.00 per taco and $30 for the margarita but this is a five star resort so to be expected. we had a great time and would return read more

This place was simply dreadful. The service was slow, even by local standards. Worse still was, despite their name, they made lousy margaritas. Perhaps we're the example that proves the definition of insanity but we tried drinks from them several times before realizing the only way they could credibly serve a tequila drink was as shots. And the food wasn't any better. Their guacamole was tasteless. Their tacos (the other part of their name) were smallish corn tortillas with bits of the main ingredients (shrimp, beef, what have you) covered with a mound of lettuce and a bit of oily sauce. Tacos & Tequila is a good place to avoid in an otherwise lovely hotel. read more
