Taco Dinner
Joneice B.

Came here on Cinco de Mayo and they were slammed. Surprisingly we didn't wait long for a table. I would come back again for Elotes and Margarita. I got the Pink Cadillac Margaritas and was very pleased with the taste and strenght of the liquor. For food I got tacos dinner with beans & rice. Overall a nice dinner on the patio. Very much enjoyed the live entertainment and singing as a cherry of top of the evening.

Ocean Drive Margarita

Friendly staff, fantastic tacos, and huge pitchers of margaritas for the price. We ordered a pitcher for the two of us and it's really meant for 3 or maybe even 4 people despite the price making it seem like there's only 2 or 3 servings in it - spoiler: there's a lot more. The ceviche was really good, as was every single taco that came out of the kitchen. Definitely try the churros for dessert - it might not sound like that great of an option just from reading it but it was really worth it.

I cannot complain on anything at this location, it was an overall experience. Great Food, great ambiance and great customer service! Recommended

Lengua, carne Asada, al pastor
Jose C.

We came here to try out their tacos. I was a little concerned at first, because the place was empty with only one other party dining in. I felt the server a little pushy at first asking if we wanted any drinks for appetizers such as queso fundido to start. We ordered some water and their elotes to start, and he appeared a bit bothered that we didn't order more. My wife ordered their taco dinner which came with three tacos and rice and beans. On the menu it states that all three tacos have to be the same meat, they were nice enough to allow us to order three different meats. She ordered, Tripas, carne Asada and fish. The Tripas were tasty and the fish taco wasnt great and didn't taste fresh. I ordered their Asada, al pastor and lengua. The lengua and al pastor were very tasty. The al pastor had a delicious marinade and came with pineapple. The Asada, however lacked flavor. The elotes we ordered at the beginning were also not great. The corn was very soggy and obviously boiled. When you have these sitting in water for a long time, they tend to lose all their flavor. You're basically biting into water. They then gave you a side of chili powder to put on the elotes. But unfortunately it wasn't chili. They used tajin which gave the elotes to much of a citrus flavor. Perhaps if they grill them instead of boiling them, it will definitely enhance the flavor. With so much computation I'm not quite sure if I'd return anytime soon. They were a little pricey for what you're actually getting, so only time will tell.

I wish it was acceptable to obnoxiously grito in public because this almost brought it out of me! If you love your tacos hot and fresh, and your margaritas plentiful with tequila, this is the place for you!!! The servers are so sweet and are happy to review the menu with you. I absolutely love the decor and inner wall covered with famous Mexican public figures from Frida to top musicians. Chips and salsa were promptly brought to the table with our water, and we received our food in no time at all! Great place for good vibes and amazing eats. Pro tip... GET THE TAMALES Ambiance: 5/5 Margaritas: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5

Tilapia poblano
Rosa J.

I'm going to start my review by cutting to the chase. "Tacos Tequilas" is one of the most expensive neighborhood Mexican restaurants I have dined in. However, why did I render four (4) stars still? The young man who served our entire table was friendly, patient, and accommodating. The food was on a par with its quality in my opinion. I really wished the price for each appetizer and entree could be at least $2-$3 less. Our office had a joint crew night and one of the managers recommended this place. I must say I wasn't completely impressed after perusing the menu. What? They charged tampiquena for $22.50! I remembered the competition on Belmont Ave., for the same entree, was under $15 or so. I eventually made up my mind with tilapia poblano ($14.95, as of 04/17/2019). The size was appropriate for my hunger level. The fish was flaky. I also enjoyed the poblano sauce, yet it could use a little more garlic and lemon to enhance the overall flavor and tanginess. I thought the guacamole was delicious, but the portion size was quite disappointing for what we paid for. $8.95 was almost considered a borderline rip-off. Many of my co-workers ordered the margarita and other alcoholic beverages. Fortunately and unfortunately at the same time, I have made a conscious decision to cut down my alcohol consumption. I would say having the liquor license gives "Tacos Tequilas" an advantage for making a plenty of extra bucks on booze. With that being said, individuals who are accustomed to pairing alcohol with their meals will probably like what TT has to offer. Our party consisted of 10+ people and a few of us arrived late. The young man server didn't rush us at all and answered some picky eaters' questions with poise. He also graciously comped one of the girls' coctel de camaron since she didn't realize this was a cold appetizer. All in all, his customer service was great in handling everyone's request. I personally don't think "Tacos Tequilas" is a standout due to inflated prices. Others may disagree with me, but I shall remain indifferent.

Wow! First time here and we were blown away by the service provided by Gustavo and Jorge and the rest of the staff. We had a pitcher of margarita with Don Julio and we were Leary about them because we really can appreciate a good margarita, but to our surprise! It was so great!! We also ordered steak, cochinita pibil tacos, elotes, and torta Árabe. To our amazement the cochinita pibil tacos were so delicious and so flavorful. My husband even made a comment and asked if it was possible to fall in love with a taco. I said yes! And with that I will leave you all with the must try here at Taco Tequilas. The top shelf margaritas and cochinita pibil. We definitely will be back! Thank you to the great service provided by Gustavo and Jorge and the rest of this amazing staff! We will see you soon!

(inquire about the 4% service charge added) No rice or beans with any of my parties' dishes, not sure if that is an option. Time to be seated was less than five minutes for a party of four around 2:20 PM on a Sunday; busier times or days enforce their 90 minute time limit policy per table. The food was well seasoned, wish I tasted it a little more on the meat itself, yet all the vegetables tasted crisp and fresh. If you are looking to have intimate conversations be prepared to speak a lot louder, the DJ booth by the front keeps it pretty lively, but difficult to hold conversations across the table. Open authentic Mexican soda is always refreshing, and if you're looking for a place that has soft serve margaritas this is one of them. If you notice and unusual wait time or slow service please make your choice accordingly as I started to notice it was a case by case basis like some of the previous reviews had mentioned.

We got the mixed shrimp and steak fajita as the fajita Friday would give us a $5 discount. The fajita gives you a great fire show! However, if we didn't catch the server prepare the first few seconds, we would've missed it, so a heads up would've been appreciated. It felt a bit rushed. The steak and shrimp were solid but for $33 before tax and tip, it is a bit steep. However, the amount of food is good enough for 2 people for a light satisfying meal. I docked off a few stars because while the food is good, service really needs improvement. We had no utensils for 15 minutes. We had to flag the server a few times, nowhere to be found. They didn't even end up discounting the $5 and with how hard it is to get attention from a server, I had to force to leave no tip in the end to make up for the difference, in addition to the very poor service. For near closing when it's not busy, it's not acceptable to not be attended to during the dining service especially we had to leave the food cold waiting for utensils to even start eating.

I must admit that I had low expectations because quite frankly, I have not enjoyed Mexican food outside of Mexico or California. However, we were hungry, and it was near where we were staying, so I decided we should check it out, and I am so glad we did! The food was great. Both adults and the VERY picky children in our group all enjoyed our meals. I ordered the green chicken enchiladas and the other adult ordered a chile relleno combo, which I also got to try. Everything was delicious and devoured by all! We were so full but the owner talked us into the chocoflan, and we did not regret trying it. It was soooo good! Speaking of the owner, the service was great. We really enjoyed how he and the rest of the staff were very courteous. It is a small establishment, and it gets a good amount of people, so I assume that there are waits during peak hours. I highly recommend Sabroso! And we plan to return the next time we are in the area.
