I would have given this restaurant 10 stars for their outstanding food, and service as I visit this establishment weekly for food and drinks. The atmosphere is great, it is warm and colorful, the staff is wonderful, and the food and drinks are amazing!!!! The nachos (all of them!), tequitos, jalapeno poppers, white bean chili, queso dip, and chips are the best. The list goes on, and on.... Hands down, in my opinion, one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area!! It definitely is a cozy, very clean, and a hidden gem. The major downside to this cute establishment, is while the drinks are amazing, they are EXTREMELY overpriced. I love the freshly squeezed ingredients, but do not want to pay $11.00 to $12.00 for a rock glass full of ice because it has some fresh basil and/or fruit added to the drink. The margarita's are mostly served in a small rock glass with a copious amount of ice. Even the "house" margarita is served in the tiniest of margarita glasses. There are many local establishments by the water, that are not serving overpriced fresh drinks, with a great pour. For instance, the Cove Restaurant and Marina, serves fresh lemon squeezed Martini's that are reasonably priced at approximately $10.00 with "high end" liquors, and you are by the water. Currently, I am a Nurse and an EMT so enjoying a great meal, and a cocktail out on occasion- is a plus. My next career move is going to be working for the Phantom Gourmet, as I travel across New England always looking for the most amazing places with the best dishes, and cocktails that are reasonably priced. (lol) I work hard for my wages, and I try to be wise when spending monies on entertainment, food and drinks. I love giving back to local establishments, but don't want to spend Boston or NY prices locally here in Fall River, Ma. There is no reason other reason why Tequila LIme should not be packed with the locals except for their drink sizes, and pricing. Thank you, Darlene read more

This place is awesome. It's a hidden gem for travelers. It has a pure Mexican ambience. Drinks are good. Light flavored yet strong. Good food. Definitely try their guacamole. I definitely recommend thi read more

Mediocre and extremely overpriced. What cost them under $10 to make, cost me $50. Not even sure why I gave them two stars. I won't be coming back for this canned food. Does not even list any of the major food allergens on their menu. Shouldn't this be a requirement in 2020? read more

This place is a gem!! I wish it were in a better location. Like closer to me! The staff is great! The menu is awesome and the specials are always delicious! Oh the alcohol special was on point!! Especially for the fall, $7 for a pumpkin beer with a shot of vanilla vodka in it!!! Hell yes!! Oh get the nachos they are so good, and thats saying a lot for me, I never order nachos! read more

We made a door dash order for this overpriced Mexican food. Waited an hour. The dasher reached out to us and let us know tequila lime wasn't doing door dash and we had to call. I called. The woman I spoke to said "our system is down and the order should have cancelled right away". Well obviously it hadn't cancelled because you made a door dasher drive to your location and wait for food that wasn't going to be made. Also they made a very hungry pregnant woman wait this long to get food. Now we have to order from elsewhere and wait probably the same amount of time. Needless to say, this is a poor way to run a business, as I will not go back here now. The person on the phone offered no solution and told me to have a nice day in a condensing manner. She didn't offer to have the food made right then and there and have the poor dasher who was waiting bring us the food or offer for us to come get it, knowing we just waited an hour for nothing and that I am very pregnant and very hungry. read more

I was there on Taco Tuesday on 10/17... I had Brennan as a server, and Leah helped as well...: both excellent servers ... food was great. Pricing ... not so much... how do you not offer chips and salsa as a starter for no charge ?! Far too expensive for what you get. I get that it's homemade but it's a little too pricey for Mexican food for its location. I also witnessed something that the owner had said to a patron. She was extremely unprofessional to this customer and this is not the first time I have heard her speak to customers this way. She seems extremely entitled and doesn't seem like she values people who work for her and customers who patron her establishment. After witnessing her speak to customers the way she did, not once but twice , I will make sure that I do not go back. It's sad, cause the food and servers are great.. but I simply cannot support a business owner like that. Realize you are no longer the only Mexican establishment in the city... read more

I have been here a few times but recently something has changed. A friend and I went for dinner and got the always great avocado fries but when our main dish- steak fajitas- I was greatly disappointed. The meat was chewy and mostly fat. I couldn't finish it and was embarrassed to have recommended it to my friend. Like I said previously I loved this place the drinks are always great but I don't think that anything will make up for spitting out chunks of at into my napkin. read more

Party of four on a Friday night. Had the avocado fries, fabulous! Ceviche with fresh chips, Super Fab! Tostado salad super good. The one issue is that the house margaritas are affordable but made with sour mix. The fresh squeezed margs are a budget breaker. 2 rounds of drinks costs a Benjamin. Still a great meal, wonderful space, inside and out. Just going to pregame next time. read more

We stopped in here because our friend is a waitress here and she wasn't working but the food, service, drinks were all excellent. They were great with my 2 year old son as well. Thank you Tequila Lime staff! Hope to see you again soon. read more

My sister in law loves Mexican so after visiting the bridal store, we drove 2 minutes to this gem! We ordered the plated version of 'holy jalapeno' and 'green monster'. I had the holy jalapeno and i don't think i saw any actual jalapenos, just tasted a spicy sauce. This had lettuce, rice, black beans, few roasted peppers and sauce over it. Nice presentation. I had very small amount of steak. maybe 3 pieces and 1 piece that broke apart. I wasnt happy with amount of steak, i couldnt even tell what quality it was due to how little there was :/ Flavors were good tho and the size of the dish! read more

Tequila Lime Cantina is a good addition to the Fall River food scene. The entire place is nicely decorated with a subtle Mexican theme, but we really like the bar so that's where we usually sit. Drinks are good, they have some nice cocktails but I tend to stick with their classic margarita with the sugar rim. Food is tasty, I have a preference for their tacos, and I often go with their shrimp or choriço ones with the side salad. The cilantro lime dressing is divine and worth skipping the rice for alone. Avocado fries are the app everyone raves about here and for good reason. They're delicious and way better for you than potato fries. My husband likes the quesadillas and usually gets the BBQ chicken ones when we go here. Price-wise, I have not ever gone there without a Groupon, so I recommend you check there first before heading here. Their costs are typical restaurant prices, nothing unreasonable. The Groupon values are usually half off $20 or $40, so you'll get drinks or an app for free using one. read more

Always had great meals here but not last two times. Recipes were changed and not for the better. Also, both times the take out order was wrong. Too bad. read more

We were staying in a town nearby and our daughter wanted Mexican, after reading the reviews, Tequila Lime Cantina was the best rated with a sit down setting. We arrived at 715 on Thursday evening and were sat right away, but it took 5 minutes for our server to greet us, but she did bring us waters when she came. We ordered our drinks, one was a fresh squeezed margarita, our server forgot what my husband ordered (he had said water was fine) and instead of checking back, she brought two margaritas. My husband felt bad and said it was ok and he would drink it. They were good, fresh, crisp and strong $9 each. We ordered our appetizer a $7.95 plate of homemade chips and about a half-cup if fresh salsa (pico style, which is my preference.) we also ordered our food. We did receive our chips in a couple minutes, but we had finished our chips by 30 minutes by the time our food arrived (they were busy). They apologized that it took so long and they said they would bring us a complimentary desert. The food, though it took longer than we anticipated was worth the wait. I had tequila lime shrimp tacos, large shrimp and great flavor, perfect cook on them. Our party also ordered a chicken fajita, it was good, and hot, but was not sizzling when it came to the table. We ordered the chicken enchiladas, which came with 3 enchilada and rice and beans, very nice presentation and good tasting. We had a child with us and they ordered the kids cheese quesadilla which came with a side of the house made tortilla chips, it was a full quesadilla and my son loved it. Our entree items were excellent, For the side items, the Mexican rice was the best we have had in a very long time, the beans both black and retried, like previous reviewers, were missing any seasoning and flavor, my husband and daughter had the refried and only had one bite of them and pushed them aside. I had the black beans, I added the some of the habanero hot sauce on the table and that improved them immensely. I also ordered a house margarita with my meal, it was only $4 so it was a good value for a good lime margarita. They brought us churros complimentary because of our wait, we asked for them to-go as it was about 9pm at that point. They smell and look amazing, they are waiting for a snack later today. The bill was $90, with had 3 adult entrees, a kids meal, an appetizer, and 3 margaritas. We would definitely go back, but we would likely make sure we weren't starving when we went so the wait for our food wasn't a big deal. The only reason it is a 4 star and not a 5 was the wait for the food and the extra margarita we did not order. read more

Arrived here and waited to sit for 30 minutes even though there were over 5 open tables so I was unsure why they weren't seating us. Finally sat down and the service was great. Food tasted good but after we left myself and the 2 others I ate with weren't feeling well. By the time we made it home we all had stabbing pains in our stomach and were extremely ill all night. Not sure what exactly happened but definitely won't be coming back again :( read more

Well, I don't know. This is kind of a strange review to write. I went here for the first time about two months ago. I loved it. I started off with the homemade tortilla chips, then got the green monster burrito which was probably one of the best burritos I've ever had (sans meat). There were roasted red peppers, green peppers, onion, greens, lettuce, tomato and delicious, delicious avocado. It had the perfect balance of veggies and rice and beans. THEN I revisited about two weeks ago after finding myself craving that very same burrito... Hm. Started off with the avocado fries this time (I love avocado) which were fantastic. Great. Then I ordered my burrito, this time requesting jalapenos on it. The burrito comes. I take a bite. And it is probably the worst burrito I've ever had in my entire life. The only veggies on it are lettuce and tomato (literally nothing else, including the jalapenos that I requested on it). The rice and beans were somehow super, super dry. And it was lacking avocado, which is actually the first thing listed to be in the burrito on the menu. When the waitress came over and asked how our food was, I told her how bad it was compared to the last time I went. Did she offer me a new burrito? No. She just told me that they have a new chef. Like, really? Okay. He sucks. Fire him. I probably won't go back. Maybe for avocado fries. read more

I really really wanted to like this place when it first opened we have gone back several times and have held off reviewing in hopes of a good experience. The food is inconsistent at at best is slightly above Taco Bell and to be hones less authentic. Each time we go there is some other issue either will the bill being done right, the food being horrible or just bad service. Very disappointing. read more

Tequila Lime Cantina - Menus - Mexican Near Me - Fall River, Massachusetts

Took the family to Tequila Lime, a new cantina in Fall River. I was exited for this place to open, because the only other Mexican option in the Fall River area is the woeful Fiesta Restaurant in Somerset, a glorified overpriced Taco Bell that makes you wait an hour for sub-par, unauthentic garbage drowned in cheese. I also made sure to NOT compare TL to No Problemo, one of my favorite restaurants in nearby New Bedford. That just wouldn't be fair. The ambiance was very nice, big bright windows everywhere, in an older space with beautiful hardwood floors. They have a full bar loaded with tequilas. Mexican guitar music was playing, and at one point there was a mariachi inspired cover of Metallica's "One" coming through the speakers which was awesome of course. I will go back here to try their Margaritas, but today I went with a Rogue Dead Guy Ale out of Portland, OR, a pretty delicious craft beer. We ordered the tortilla chips and guacamole, which was outstanding. The chips were homemade, and perfectly seasoned. The guac was rich and smooth with nice balanced flavors. I had the veggie tacos which came with yellow rice (a little bland) and black beans (piping hot, and delicious). The Veggies were grilled, and had a nice smokey flavor. The tortillas tasted good, too. Don't think they came out of a package. the two tacos also had mixed greens and a bit of sour cream. The salsa verde added a nice bite. The wife enjoyed her beef tacos as well, although she was bit put off by the use of iceberg lettuce. The kids had cheese quesadillas (not listed on the menu) and they gobbled those down happily. Our server was extremely nice and helpful. Service was excellent. Overall a great new place. I look forward to rolling in without the bambinos during the summer when I can crush two or ten tequila drinks at the bar. I bet the later-night scene will be a fun one. read more

This little off-the-beaten-path Mexican style restaurant is truly tasty. I've been 2X this week and they've got an amazing pulled pork sandwich and outstanding menu items and solid service. If you're in the area and get a hunger for Mexican food this is a pretty great choice for a reasonably priced choice! read more

I have been ordered for a pick up from here only twice. First time I ordered a burrito. It took me 15 minutes to get to work after picking it up. When I actually picked it up to eat only half of the burrito was wrapped in tinfoil. Plus is was pretty soggy and messy to eat. Sooo the 2nd time I ordered from here I got another burrito and asked them if they could wrap the whole burrito in tinfoil. They said ok. Once again I pick it up take it to work open it up to find there is no burrito but the box layed down with tinfoil and they just gave me the belly of the burrito (salad style). ARE YOU KIDDING ME PEOPLE?!? This place can't seem to get it together. I just wish No Problemos in New Bedford was closer. read more

My husband and I went there for the first time after looking at some of the reviews on this page. We were looking for a good Mexican restaurant, and we really lucked out with Tequila Lime. At first we were a bit skeptical because of its location in downtown Fall River--but this restaurant is a hidden gem! Once you walk into the doors, you feel like you entered an exclusive, authentic Mexican Cantina. The layout is open and inviting with authentic Mexican decor. You feel like you're dining alfresco because the walls to the outside are almost completely glass. What an experience! Not to mention the FOOD! For starters, we had the homemade queso dip with handcut tortilla chips--both were very good. For dinner I ordered the BBQ chicken tacos and my husband ordered the chourico and peppers quesadilla. I am not exaggerating when I say these were the best tacos I've ever had. The ingredients were so fresh; there was fresh arugula and other leafy greens. I was fully expecting the "mixed greens" to be iceburg lettuce (just like every other Mexican restaurant I've been to), but this place does not skimp on quality ingredients. The wait-staff was also very helpful there. I asked about margaritas and the waitress did not steer me wrong. Both my husband and I ordered two of each she suggested. She was very attentive and friendly. Pretty sure I found my new favorite restaurant, I will be visiting there again really soon. I'm already lining up a date with friends to go back--10/10, best Mexican restaurant in the Fall River area. read more

A really nice addition to Fall River's thriving restaurant scene. Everything we ate was freshly prepared and tasty. This was my first time eating avocado fries and I was pleasantly surprised (what's not to like about avocados? nuthin') Our burrito was, well, a burrito (maybe a little shy on the beef for a "cow a bunga" burrito). The green hot sauce rocks. Although the margarita was pleasant, be advised that the red sangria is loaded with (what tasted to us like) peach schnapps. And we wished we could have ordered some local beer, maybe as they settle in to their groove, right? Bottom line: if you're in the area and yearning for a fresh burrito, a pleasant drink and a friendly staff, you'll do we'll at tequila lime cantina. read more

Tequila Lime Cantina - Mexican Near Me - Fall River, Massachusetts

I'm giving Tequila Lime Cantina 3 stars in hopes of inspiring them to just take it one step further. Bottled sour mixes, lackluster beans, timid service and "meh" guacamole can all be fixed very easily. The decor and layout are inviting and have a professional feeling. I ordered the $4 margarita and it was very well portioned. This one is made with bottled sour mix but you can get the other margaritas with fresh lime juice for an upcharge. I ordered the Vegetable Tacos and it was a little confusing. It was all cold, fresh vegetables on what seemed more like a tostada than a taco. It was a good amount of veggies with lettuce, poblano pepper, cucumber and more but I was expecting hot, sauteed vegetables on a taco that I could actually fold and eat like a taco instead of having to use my fork and knife. Also, their Spanish rice isn't vegetarian so I declined that but it didn't reflect on the price on my bill....bummer. The guacamole may have been fresh but it had that sort of, almost too smooth, texture that the container guac from the grocery store has. In my book, if you're a Mexican restaurant you're main concerns should be having stellar margaritas and guacamole. Overall, it was an inexpensive meal out in Fall River and I think it's great to see more small restaurants opening up in the city. read more

Went here the other night with a group of friends and I highly doubt any of us will ever return. As soon as we entered we were immediately and aggressively harassed by a man asking us to come to some $5 comedy show. It was extremely difficult to get the attention of an employee so we could be seated, but after several minutes we were led to a table. It was very warm in the restaurant and for a Tuesday night it was very loud. The group next to our table in particular was *extremely* loud. Like, I've been in quieter Chuck E. Cheese's level loud. Even the waitress commented on it but no one ever asked them to maybe keep it down a little. It was a really terrible environment, we couldn't even have a conversation amongst ourselves without yelling over the noise. We also asked the waitress to split our check and she did not. On the bright side, the food was pretty good. We had avocado fries as an appetizer and churros for dessert and both were yummy. The prices were alright too. The drinks were not that great however, we tried the blackberry mint juleps. As I said, the food was good but the atmosphere left a LOT to be desired. I'd have liked to have been a return customer but it's not going to happen. read more

We were extremely disappointed with the meal we had at Tequila Lime Cantina. First and foremost typically when you go to a Mexican cuisine restaurant chips and salsa are usually given for free. Here they charge $8.95 for chips with 1/4 cup salsa. The cost of the guacamole is the same with the same serving portion. It feeds one to two people at most. The chicken enchiladas were not edible. They use marinara sauce as the sauce for the chicken enchiladas. The combination of Mexican with Italian sauce did not go well. The refried beans were so salty you could not eat them. I went there with a party of 8 people. Not one of us enjoyed our meals. Sadly the bill was still $400. And sadly we still had to pay that even though the food was not good and the prices of the food are way over priced. The only good thing there are the jalapeño poppers. Which for 3 orders of those were $50. I do not recommend going to this place at all. Go to Fiesta Mexican!! Prices are reasonable and the food is exceptional compare to this place. read more

Went here Sunday night with a girlfriend had some awesome margarita's and we both had the Texan Burrito. So good and starting off with the Avocado fires... a must for anyone going there. We had a wonderful time and we will be back/1 read more

We decided to give this a try yesterday since we had a gift card and it was taco Tuesday. When we got there we waited a few minutes and then were seated. The interior was nice, although they kept tuning down the lights and turning music up making it hard to see or hear. We ordered our drinks. My fiancé got a margarita and I had a Pacifico. We waited 30 minutes for our drinks with no water or silverware on the table. Finally,when our drinks arrived we ordered food. Waited an hour before we got that. We each got 2 tacos, rice and refried beans. When the food finally came out we were excited to eat only to be very disappointed. The beans tasted straight out of a can, no seasoning at all. Just mushed up beans. My rice was crunchy and dry. I got the steak and chouriço tacos. They were pretty good. Not Mexican sit down restaurant quality in my opinion but edible. My fiancé got the chicken and bbq meat tacos and we say the same for those. Over all we were ready to get out of there and pretty disappointed. Also, before I forget that margarita. Not impressed. No flavor except for tequila. Not good tequila either. My fiancé didn't even finish it and we never let that happen. Needless to say we will not be back. They can learn a few things from other Mexican restaurants in the area. I give it a 2 for the nice decor and edible tacos. read more

Though I cannot rate the food because I didn't get that far I tried to go there this evening after paying for parking I walked in to the establishment said hello to the hostess she looked up from her phone to only look at me with a disgusted look and then she looked right back at her phone without a word. Then a minute later she looked at my son and said you are going to have to hang on a minute and looked back at her phone. Wrote something down and then walked away. My son and I looked at each other and walked out. Never have I been to a place where I couldn't even get a hello in response to my hello. The place had maybe four people in it so it's not like they were busy. The only thing busy was the hostess with her phone. I'm only a paying customer don't mind me I can go somewhere else and eat. read more

Friendly staff, lots of tequila, and fun decor throughout. The bar itself is quaint and I'm a fan of it. They offer fresh fruit (for an additional charge) if you don't want sour mix in your drink. I'm a fan of this place and am looking forward to showing my friends. read more

Stumbled upon Tequila Lime for the first time today, and stopped in for lunch. Love it!! The space is very old, which gives it so much character. Bar is nice, multi-level dining adds interest and breaks up the space. Service was fast and friendly. Food was beautifully presented, fresh and delicious! We had Blue Buffalo Burrito and Chicken Tacos. Both were huge (took 1/2 home). Indulged in the churros for dessert...can't wait to come back for dinner...and the home made Key Lime pie :) read more

Tequila Lime Cantina - Why eat at home when you can get the best meal in the city at tequila lime - Mexican Near Me - Fall River, Massachusetts

Start off by saying our waitress Makayla was trying her hardest to keep us happy. Roasted guacamole was really good. I ordered the fish tacos which was missing some of the stuff it stated it had on the menu. No latin flavor. My friends steak tacos cubed beef cold. Would i go back, no menu is so limited. When you are used to authentic Mexican its not the same Drinks were warm. A couple had walked in they told them kitchen was closing it was 8:45. Then a kitchen staff member comes out and states he would open the kitchen but had no steak no chicken and other stuff. Well then they just lost business i think its worth taking the ride to rhode island for mexican food read more

My wife and I went here for an early Saturday supper. The bartender and waitstaff were super friendly and helpful. All the food is made fresh to order and was of high quality. They made vegan modifications for my wife and her burrito was the best she's had! Pro tip, order jalapeños on the side to add to the salsa for a extra kick. The homemade salsa is mild otherwise. We will definitely be back often, Best Mexican around! read more

I'm impressed , my fiance n I had been hearing about this new plac. We went for lunch on our anniversary. We tried the avacado fries WOW... They were A-MAZING! The staff was very nice n eager to please. Im not a fan of margaritas unless frozen but the waitress sold me on the strawberry banana ,,n it was soo yummy . I tried the Texan burrito it was incredible the chipotle BBQ sauce took it over the top. My fiance had the holy jalapeno burrito it was good especially if you like a lil kick. Overall it was a great dining experiance ,,I can't wait to go back n check out the live music. Go check it out read more

I had gone for lunch with colleagues, the first Friday afternoon they were open, and it was a hooorrible experience... The entire staff was apparently on a siesta during the lunch rush. We waited 45+ minutes for our food to even be put on the grill and our waitress never checked in with us in the meantime to see if we needed more drinks or anything else. We received a very weak/rushed apology from the manager/owner?... with no attempt to reeeeally correct the problem or make amends. After an hour (for 4 burritos!) we ended up paying and just taking our food to go. After nearly 3 weeks we decide to give it another try... However... We called our order in ahead of time, letting them know we only had a half hour lunch break. When we got there we sat right away and our food was immediately brought out. Today's staff was much more friendly and attentive, to us anyway. It took the waiter a while to tend to a table near us. Overall, the second time around was a much better experience, but I'm curious how things would have gone of we hadn't called ahead. The food is good and fresh, but the menu could be a little more extensive. I plan to visit once more, off work time, to try the drinks and see how the actual sit-down service goes. read more

Tequila Lime Cantina - Macho Nachos and Avocado Fries - Mexican Near Me - Fall River, Massachusetts

We have grouponed this place twice. I can safely say I haven't been disappointed but I also haven't been thrilled. Both times I informed the waitress on arrival that we had a groupon and still received a full check at the end. Both times it was fixed. The food however, is well priced if a little blah compared to some other Mexican restaurants I have been to. I absolutely cannot complain about the freshness of the meals. However they charge for chips and salsa (its all priced on the menu to be fair) and extra if you want anymore (the cup that came with the plate was small in my opinion) My husband loves the place which is why we keep going back but I haven't really found something to put this place over the top read more
