We went on a Monday night around 7 o'clock. Table for 2. Made a reservation beforehand and had no wait when we showed up. I ordered birria tacos and they were delicious. You have the option to get either 2 or 3. Though it is just the tacos themselves. No rice or salad included. Still I added the rice to my meal and didn't regret it. The nachos were listed under the appetizers, don't let that stop you from getting them as a meal if you'd like. My wife wanted them as her entree and they were more than enough. She didn't finish them. Even better than the food was the view. We sat outside and you probably should too if that's you're thing. You're right at the water with the sound of waves crashing in the background. No alcoholic drinks for either of us. I only got a sprite and water (they used bottled Fiji if you order it still but sparkling was also an option) but my wife had 2 mocktails. She said they were really good. Strawberry and mango flavors. Nachos, 3 birria tacos, side of rice, 2 mocktails, and 1 glass of sprite. Not sure if the water was free or not honestly lol. Everything came to almost $105 before tip. So you're paying for the atmosphere and the food. Which we were okay with. Would recommend and would visit again. read more

I'm staying at the hotel and decided to try the restaurant for a late lunch by the pool shortly after I arrived. Unfortunately, it was a pretty disappointing first meal. I ordered the quesadillas and a traditional margarita. The margarita was okay, but very average. The quesadillas were the biggest disappointment. They lacked flavor and were definitely overpriced for the quality. For what I paid, I expected them to be much better. Overall, not the best first impression, especially for a restaurant located at the hotel. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amazing service and amazing food! The drinks here are delicious! Be sure to grab a Jalapeño margarita!

It was a lovely experience and the food was exceptional. I had the 3 tacos Al Pastor and my wife had the Birria tacos that were awesome as well. The staff were attentive and nice. When we come back to Puerto Rico this is definitely on our to do list. read more

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

Great food. Limited menu but everything looks great. Service was great. Recommend eating outside for the view and cool breeze.

Service was good at the restaurant and also on IG when I had contacted them. Food and margaritas were great. Vegan option for me which is obviously a plus. Nice restaurant and location. 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

Probably one of the best places to eat in CONDADO! Awesome food great service great atmosphere could not recommend it highly enough if you are in the area in Puerto Rico, you must go 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

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

Beautiful ocean view restaurant....I eat tacos pretty frequently and the tacos here are pretty bad. I got the fish and shrimp taco. The fish had no seasoning and the taco was dry..very sub par. My bf got the nachos and they were good but cold. The drinks were good and strong but I wouldn't come back. My order was wrong twice. The service was not the best.. read more

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

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.

Let's get it out of the way- yes it's expensive. Ok now to why you're here. The views are extraordinary and the food is delicious. Fish tacos (huge!!), carnitas tacos, guacamole. Our only miss was queso fundido- not bad but not great. Odd. Get a jalapeño margarita and relax. 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

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

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

Yummyyyyyy t&t was open two days out of the four that I stayed at condado. I had to go both days and I would've went all four days if they had been open all week. The view at this restaurant is unreal. I felt so at peace eating at t&t. The service was amazing, the food was delicious, and the ocean view made my heart feel so full. Javier and Tania were phenomenal and so sweet like all the other waiters I didn't have the chance to meet. They were very accommodating when it came to me altering the menu a bit and they were sure to get it right. I look forward to the day I get to go back to PR to visit tacos and tequila. read more
