My wife and I tried this restaurant at the recommendation of our hotel hostess next door. It had to be the most disappointing experience for Mexican / Tex Mex we ever had. Strange that our Mexican families in the north central of Ohio would be better than here in Houston. We have eaten this variety of food across the country from California to the east coast, and this is now the bottom of our list. The staff seemed very "mew" about service in general and unattentive. We sat at the bar and the drinks were weak and although my old fashion presentation was nice (it came with a smoke cloud), it was like trying to drink campfire. Smoked flavoring can be nice if done right. The menu did not indicate this and I wouldn't have ordered this if I knew. Makes me wonder what they were trying to mask. The chicken nachos were average but the pickled jalapeños gave an additional flavor depth, but it was just okay. The overall experience after a day of travel was disappointing. read more

We found this place due to tik tok and it did not disappoint. We started off with some drinks and it was amazing. I got the llorana and it tasted you could taste the tamarindo with mézcal it just was a great mix. Then we got our appetizers which did not miss at all. Then we go our main course which was #33 if had chicken, beef, shrimp, beans, and rice. Just a little bit of everything that fulfilled my cravings. The meat was tender and the best of it all it comes with home made tortillas which you have the option of flour or maíz. Just over all a great restaurant and great service. Our waitress name was Jennifer she was super sweet and nice. She even helped us take our pictures ! read more

Our second visit to this restaurant. As mentioned in my last review, the lights are very bright inside, and my personal preference would be to have a slightly more subtle light level. But enough about lights. A restaurant should be judged by their food and service, and this place rates high on both. On the night we visited this time, there were two large parties; one 25-top, and one 12-top. This, in addition to the restaurant being more than half-full. The staff was in high demand, but they were all hustling like crazy, and keeping up with demand. Ryan, Josh, and Martine tag-teamed our table and made sure that everything was perfect. The kitchen got backed up and our order was delayed in delivery, but these three guys continued to smile and make sure that we were happy. That is a skill that is not learned - - that is a skill that comes automatically when you genuinely care about the guests you are serving. I tip my hat and offer the highest of compliments to Ryan, Josh, and Martine! Now, about the food: It takes a special understanding of time and temperature to perfect bacon-wrapped shrimp. In most establishments that serve that particular dish, one will find either 1) The bacon undercooked, and the shrimp done correctly, -or- 2) The bacon cooked right, but the shrimp overdone and rubbery. Not at Tequila 45. I am guessing that the chef partially cooks the bacon before wrapping it around the shrimp. Anyway, their final product is a brochette that features nicely browned bacon and perfectly cooked shrimp. We will be coming back to enjoy the service from this enthusiastic staff, and the wonderfully prepared food! read more

Food was amazing, service was good with a little language barrier ( not an issue). Great ambience. I love the decor and the cleanliness of the restaurant. read more

It's a pretty place, very aesthetic, good for pictures but the food is not good. Plus, they brought out our food for the table at different times, who does that. My husband and I ordered pastor tacos and enchiladas and did not eat it, because it was not good. Don't recommend this place. The bill for two people here is 60$ read more

An Absolutely Hidden Gem. Fantastic Experience overall. They were serving a 30top in the middle of dinner shift and still had our food cooked to perfection. Impressive specialty drinks menu. Great space. If you're a Doctor Who fan, it's. read more

Hidden Gem Food and service is top notch. I tried a Fajita Sandwich thing. Not to be confused with the traditional torta. This was a lucky guess on my part. Fajita, Oaxaca cheese, arugula, pickled oniona, and fries. Good stuff read more

The food was great. My Wife's drink was really bad so we said something AND THEY MADE IT RIGHT!!! Seriously outdid themselves. Then ended the meal with ala mode Blueberry pudding! This was just a quick off the highway stop. However, I would highly recommend making a special trip. Well worth it!!!! read more

The staff is excellent on the way in really friendly. The vibe is festive and very surprising. I had no idea and when the food came was delicious there wasn't anything that anybody at the table of six and I had that was close to being bad just excellent. read more

The ambiance is amazing, people are friendly, even the guest from the local hotels stay in the area to get a taste of great drinks, and authentic food. Their service was definitely a 10. There are also a lot of food opportunities for bloggers. They definitely turned this place around from what it was previously. read more

Good food. Nice bartenders who knew what they were doing. This is a little jewel in a not-so-great neighborhood, but if your staying at one of the local hotels, it's a great place to go. read more

Wow! Totally unexpected and headed for greatness! Wonderful menu and just enough imagination and beauty in the choice that you know the chef takes pride in both originality and attention to details. None of the food is tired, even though I came in at 9 pm on a Tuesday. Everything is fresh made on premises. Be sure and try the memorable desserts! It's a large, spacious place inside-- distinctively modern Mexican with popular modern Mexican music, lots of neon and a wine bar. On weekends, their large outdoor patio is open and they have live music and even dancing. There is nothing boring or ordinary about Tequila 45, including its extremely friendly and attentive staff. This one is a rising star. The prices are a little high, but definitely worth it. One of my favorite random eating decisions in a very long time. I would give it 6 stars if I could. Nothing negative to say here. read more

Average at best. Not impressed by the food or the service. Ambiance was great. There is not a lot in the area.

Came to this restaurant twice while staying at a nearby hotel for business. I love the vibe and the food. We were there on extremely hot days in June and not once did we feel the heat from the outside. The service was quick the first day although the waitress got a little confused on the food order. I have to say this restaurant is a hidden gem in Houston. This place makes for an excellent place to celebrate a birthday, have a meeting or just for a family lunch or dinner. I tried them for both lunch and dinner. They offer some very refreshing semi frozen nonalcoholic drinks. I selected a papaya one since the coconut one was not available. I was not disappointed in the least. After having such a fantastic lunch service we decided to return for dinner the next day with our volunteers. The first waitress started taking our drink orders and seemed a bit frustrated with what I assumed was a language barrier. She abandoned us and we were then told another waitress would be taking over as they work as a team. We never saw the first waitress again. This was very odd as half of the people in our group spoke Spanish and English. For me, I took a half of star off of the rating based on this interaction. The other half of star was taken off because the I didn't care for caramel topping on the tres leche that replaced the previous days fruit topping. The previous day the topping in my opinion was prefect and didn't need anything additional. It wasn't too sweet or soggy. The caramel topping made it too sweet and I could not appreciate the cake portion. All in all this place has a vibe worthy of returning and sharing with others. At night they have music in the enclosed porch area that reminds me of my time in Mexico. We will definitely return. read more

We just ate at taco 45 for lunch happy hour. I will say the bartender everyone there was very friendly. The food was outstanding. I will definitely go back to taco 45. read more

Food was really great and accommodated our very large party with ease. We came in during happy hour and had wings, nachos, burgers and more! The system they use to take orders went down and they were nice into give up chips and dip & mozzarella cheese sticks which were really good. The restaurant is beautiful and has a great decor. The staff constantly cleaned the restaurant in empty areas and the overall look is like something out a a movie ... a must try! read more

Definitely great ambiance, nice and clean place. Service was bit slow on a slow night. Now as for the food. I give it a 2/10. A chicken Alfredo was not very good at all, chicken way over cooked and the Alfredo just tastes like milk. Maybe I'll go back and try a traditional Tex Mex plate next time. read more

Top tier!! Definitely a hidden gem. From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, we were happy with the service. My sister pointed out that everyone seems to truly enjoy working with each other. The food was exceptional, great portion sizes, if Latinos had a size chart on the amount of food you'd get it'd be the biggest drink at Starbucks. The vibe were also really good and unique. read more

The food was amazing! Everything we had down to the fresh cub of coffee brewed for dinner!! I wish I remembered the server's name , he was a young gentleman, eager to serve & plesse!

The food was delicious! The chicken tortilla soup was amazing! I had the Teqil-adas meal and my husband had the Tequila-combo. It was all so yummy. The rice and beans were light, the taco meat was wonderfully flavored and the cheese enchilada was again, so delicious! Next time we're in Houston, I'm coming back! Highly recommend! The ambiance was so bright and cheerful and just the right amount of elegant! Our waitress was sweet and attentive! 5 stars all around! read more
