We LOVE Tequila Social! It's the perfect place to gather with friends in a lively ambiance. During football season this place tends to be bustling. We love going during the colder months, when the heaters are on after a chilly walk. Drinks are always spot on and nothing beats chips & salsa over good conversation. We've always had different servers but on every occasion have been met with kind and attentive care. Tequila Social will always be our weekend ritual. Highly recommend stopping in after your walk on the Katy! read more

Came in on Mother's Day after walking the trail! The day was nice at first until it turned into the Amazon rain forest outside. There's an inside and outside area, which we sat inside, because of the rain. They even welcomed the dogs in. They have a pretty simple menu that was very appealing with different options. We ordered the: Street dog w|crema on the side. The veggies weren't overcooked, but they were bland, and they also could have cooked a few mins longer for my liking, the bread was good as well as the dog. Burrito bowl with fish. To me it was regular, nothing really special about it. Overall I think I'd come back to try the empanadas. Because based on some pictures I see they look pretty good, but I'd definitely ask for different dipping sauces just incase it's bland. read more

Service was great, can't in a packed Friday night and was able to get sat instantly. And able to place orders shortly there after, and the food didn't take long either. Unfortunately my taco and fries arrived cold, the street dog did arrive with a temperature, but both it and the taco were lacking in flavor. The drink prices here are decent especially if drinking beer, and that's all I would recommend stoping in for, especially if you catch a live music night since they have a stage. read more

I feel like happy hour is definitely worth is. The food was good, the portions were small especially in that flour tortilla. Frozen drinks are AMAZING! perfect mix. Huge outdoor seating. I love that it is right off the walking trail. There is a lot of parking at the building, kind of hidden but look out for the sign! Had the fish tacos, delish but small. Very nice lady serving us! read more

Y'all, run (or walk) here from the Katy trail....ASAP! Especially during Happy Hour lol. This place is a great way to spend a beautiful afternoon after being on the trail or not. The happy hour is solid: we got the spicy margaritas, and tacos from the HH menu and we also got the chips and guac. We also got the empanadas not on the HH menu which were tasty. All the food was flavorful and I enjoyed it. The free salsa is fresh tasting as well. The prices are great and it's a nice break from the trail. They have TVs outside so you can watch any sports out there as well. Service was solid, I really appreciated the bartender we had. Definitely glad I finally tried this place and will absolutely be back when visiting the trail or for the HH. read more

We enjoyed our first visit here. The tacos were good and the drinks were ok. I usually enjoy my liquor straight but wanted to try a margarita since we heard good things. The margarita was too sweet so we got two extra shots each. It's really an outdoor/patio restaurant which we didn't know. We came in and sat inside. It took someone about 5+ minutes to come and tell us that we had to order at the bar and there was no service inside. That wasn't really clear to us. Many people were on the patio enjoying lunch with their pets. Not really a pet in the restaurant person but all of them were well behaved so it was cool. We'd go back when it warms up. read more

My friends and I had the best time ! There's a parking garage that you pull into, and once you park, you can walk directly into the restaurant. They will validate parking for free for 3 hours- we got there at 7pm and didn't leave until 10:30pm so I only had to pay $5 for parking to go over that validation period. But Tequila Social is located right on the Katy Trial and is very similar to Katy Trail iced house, except in my opinion is more responsibly priced. The margs were pretty good and the food was tasty! Overall the vibes are good and we really enjoyed our time ! read more

Stopped in after a Katy Trail walk and had a really solid meal. The mango frozen marg with a Tajín rim was perfect! We split the mixed fajitas and the dip trio. The guac was a standout, and everything tasted fresh. Only downside: the steak was a little too chewy and the rice was hard & lacking flavor. Service was excellent. Everyone was friendly and on it. Overall, a fun, tasty spot. read more

Tequila Social - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Would give 2.5 if I could. Came here for a friend's birthday. Called ahead to ask if there was a wait or if we needed a reservation for a party of ten and they said it wasn't busy so we could just walk in. When we got there I saw plenty of open picnic style tables but instead they crammed us around some low fire pit which was terrible when we ordered drinks and food. I understand ten can be a big group but our waiter got multiple drink orders wrong, and when we told him we received the wrong drinks he just asked us if it was okay if we kept them...??? He comped one for the bday girl but everyone else just kept their wrong drinks or traded each others. There was also a cowboys game on at the time that we couldn't see since we were far from the TVs but there was a speaker right next to us blasting the game so loud. We asked the waiter if it could be turned down and he said yes. After a while of him being gone it never got turned down so we asked again and he said he forgot but would tell his manager. Then he came back to tell us his manager said no??? He was very inattentive the entire time we were there and I had to get up and find him twice to ask for water and more chips for our appetizer. He forgot napkins and utensils for our food as well. When it was time to pay the bill he said he could "try" to split it but preferred if I just put down one card. I am always fine with doing that for a big group but just weird that he said that before I even asked to split it or not. Overall the food and drinks were fine but the service just felt very unprofessional and lax. Will probably not be back. read more

Tequila Social - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Amazing patio full of seats, shade, fans, and tvs. The food is alright but the drinks (specifically the margaritas) are very good. Location is a little confusing just because the entrance is through a parking garage, but they have signs that you can follow to the garage. There was no valet when I went (a Saturday night), but since the entrance was in a garage there was plenty of parking that was free. read more

They have a great happy hour and the atmosphere here is great! I thought the margaritas were great but that the food was just average. We got the carne asada tacos and chicken quesadillas. They were both just average. Overall, I would come back and just get drinks. read more

My fam had a great time here! We tried the steak tacos, nachos, queso, a few different margs, and the complimentary salsa and chips. Everything was delicious! Everything was seasoned well and super flavorful. Seemed like high quality ingredients all around. We went in on a quiet rainy day, so service was really fast and attentive. Our server was very nice and explained their menu well. The restaurant itself is pretty small inside, but I figure if it had been sunny the outdoor area would have been packed! I can see this place being a really fun spot on summer nights. The free parking garage is definitely a plus as well! read more

the ambience is PERFECT, especially for a calm afternoon-evening. the fans and shade make the summer heat bearable. pricey, but the frozen marg was EVERYTHING (chamoy straw and tajin rim would take it up to a perfect 10/10). the chips were so stale though and the queso solidified within 10 minutes... and the waiters def knew what was up. def more about the vibe than the food but i'd come back, especially since they sometimes have live music!! perfect for groups and a nice age range. read more

The location of Tequila Social is phenomenal, and this time I was seated on the patio, which was lovely. The staff is friendly, and the service was good overall. I brought my dog and five friends for dinner, one of whom brought her child. While I understand this establishment isn't particularly catered to families, having drink options and a small children's plate on the menu wouldn't be a bad idea. **Food & Drinks:** The chips and salsa left much to be desired--they lacked flavor and weren't seasoned properly, resulting in a very bland taste. For appetizers, we ordered empanadas. Despite the great presentation, the accompanying sauce and cheese were underwhelming, which felt like a missed opportunity to elevate the dish. We tried several rounds of cocktails. While we finished them, they weren't anything special or memorable--nothing that stood out as picture-worthy. For our main dishes, we ordered chicken nachos and quesadillas, which were good and came in large portions. The steak tacos were nicely seasoned, and I enjoyed the flavors and the fried tortilla. However, offering garnishes like cilantro or onion could have elevated the experience. The fish tacos were also good but could have been improved with additional dressings or garnishes. Someone in our group ordered fajitas, which were okay, but the smoky presentation isn't my favorite since it leaves everyone smelling like the dish afterward. **Overall Experience:** This visit was better than my last, but it still felt like an average experience. There were hits and misses, and while some dishes showed promise, others lacked flavor or felt incomplete. With some adjustments--especially in seasoning, garnishes, and drink presentation--Tequila Social could deliver a much stronger dining experience. read more

One of my favorite places to go to for happy hour in dallas. The margarita was delicious and so was the food. I got tacos and they were deliciously prepared.

Tequila social was so kind to invited us back after they noticed the 30 min wait we did for warm drinks 2 weeks ago. This time the service was super efficient!! We ended up getting the same thing- 2 rounds of skinny margaritas ($13) and also a quesadilla ($16). The quesadilla was super hot and huge- we all split it since we weren't too hungry. The drinks this time came out cold. I noticed the other tables around me had similar service- this is probably more accurate to how they operate on a daily. We loved the complimentary margs and the sincere apology- I'd recommend to sit inside for drinks or faster service and we will def be coming back!! read more

I came here with a friend for lunch. We decided to seat outside since the weather was quite nice. We started out with the Cantina Nachos and some Empanadas. The Cantina Nachos were pretty good and so were the Empanadas. The presentation of the empanadas was amazing. For drinks I tried the Spicy Skinny and Blood Orange Coconut Margarita, they were both delicious but the Blood Orange Coconut was my favorite. For my meal I had the Cantina Burger and it was delicious and flavorful. For dessert we decided to try the Churros and they were unfortunately not the best. I did however enjoyed the ice cream they came with. Our server was great! She was attentive and gave us a lot of recommendations. This is a fun little spot to hang out with friends. read more

Went on a Thursday evening and ordered the nachos with brisket on the side. Very disappointed as the chips were stale, broken small pieces, lacking queso and toppings. When we went two weeks ago on a Friday they were great and smothered in queso. Both visits the chips they first bring to the table were stale. Drinks: had the best skinny margarita two weeks ago, but this visit it was super sweet that I had to add water to it and still couldn't finish it. My husband's ranch water had some sort of lime syrup in it that made it more of a margarita. This place could be great if they were more consistent. Nachos should never be broken pieces with few toppings. That's an easy fix. read more

Lena is the best Hostess in Texas! Got the Gators on TV in Dallas when the Stars were playing! Smiles and great servers! Go Lena!

This place is in the heart of downtown with a free parking garage... so already not having to worry about parking in the city is a win. The perfect itinerary would be to go on a walk at Katy Trail and stop here for a victory drink! The happy hour menu is top notch, with a mix of margs, bites, and tacos for $5-6 each! I found the {strong} drinks to taste much better than the food... I recommend passing on the nachos and fajitas since they were dry. The empanadas, quesadilla, and drinks were delicious! The service was slow but this place was newly opened and packed with about a 30 minute wait time at Saturday 8:30pm to be seated, but we got drinks to pass the time. This place has all the right vibes to socialize and snack Dinner Food ordered: Empanadas $15 TX Cantina Nachos $17 Chicken Quesadilla $16 Combination Fajitas $28 Blueberry Basil $14 Mango & Passionfruit Ranch Waters $12 Price: $$ Dine-in Free parking garage read more

I was so excited to hear another restaurant was opening up on the trail!! And such a close walk from me. I was nervous that it wouldn't live up to the hype but luckily it did!!! It's so cute outside and will be amazing when the weather gets even better. So fun that they do live music sometimes too. Been for the happy hour two days in a row since I moved here two weeks ago. I LOVE that the happy hour goes till 6 so us WFH people can run over there and have plenty of time for yummy drinks and food. The HH menu is amazing, lots of great choices and great prices. I got the taquitos and they were good! For $7 I'd get them again, but definitely wouldn't pay more than that. The next time I got the Baja fish tacos and that will definitely be my new go to. Great flavor and great food amount for the price. I honestly don't think I will go here if it's not happy hour though, because the food prices are outrageous. Let's be honest, I came mostly for the margs and they did NOT disappoint. They are small but pack a punch. I was worried they'd be watery because of the size and price but I was wrong. HIGHLY recommend the skinny Marg. Great flavor. Didn't love the strawberry margarita but I think it may be because I don't like margarita mix. Service wise- it's not the best. The servers are all so nice, but both times I went I swear we didn't see or hear from our server for 45-hour after being there for an hour. If you want to get the most out of happy hour before it ends good luck finding your waiter to come serve you. Again, super nice people, but it's pretty crazy how non attentive they are especially when they don't seem to be that busy. If you are trying to get in and out quickly, I definitely wouldn't come here. Can't remember the last time I had such a nonexistent server, and two nights in a row by different people is sad. I will totally be coming back here because it's a great spot to meet friends, food is great, and if I'm not in a rush the slow service is not the end of the world, though I probably won't come as often because of that. If you can make the happy hour, definitely give this place a try!!! read more

Tequila Social - Fish tacos - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Great ambiance. And patio is right on the trail. We went to the bar while we waited for our table. Service was fast at the bar. The tequila mule needed some fresh mint and a copper mug. The blood orange coconut marg was overly sweet but the skinny marg was good minus the plastic cup. Call me a diva but personally I like my cocktail better in a glass even if I'm chilling on a patio. Beer in a plastic cup, sure. After waiting for longer than quoted my husband went to check and the hostess lost our check-in. When we were finally sat, we waited 15 minutes with no service so decided to use the bathroom and leave. read more

Great spot for drinks by the Katy Trail, but expect it to get packed, especially due to the trail traffic. If you're looking for reserved seating, be prepared for a long wait. However, they do have an open seating section, which is a nice option. The bartenders were attentive and did a great job. Overall, a good place to grab drinks, but timing is key if you want a seat. read more

Just another restaurant on the trail. I was super excited to try Tequila social when they were building it as I would pass the adverts as I was walking the Katy Trail. It seemed like a Tex-Mex twist to the Ice House and would be a great addition. Unfortunately, the experience did not add up to the hype. To begin, we chose to sit outside but I had to run inside to use the restroom & that experience alone made me glad we chose outside seating. Inside was very compact and uninviting. To top it off, the plumbing in the bathroom was subpar. Moving back to the dining experience: Our waitress was kind; however, seemed under experienced as she would often drop things off without asking if we needed anything else. My husband ordered the spicy margarita with the carne asada tacos, and I had the chicken quesadillas. The spicy margarita was strong and spicy which is a win in our books; however, the meat on the carne asada tacos was fatty with a less than flavorful "salsa" on the side (I can honestly say I've had spicier tomato soups). The worst part of the experience was when my quesadillas came out with a long hair cooked into the top tortilla meaning it came from the kitchen area. I understand that mistakes happen; however, I was able to see the hair as soon as the waitress set down our food. This disturbed me as that would mean the chef, expo, and waitress all saw this food and didn't even glance to make sure it was up to basic standards (I also want to note that there were only a few other tables there so business/distraction is not a viable excuse). I will say that I appreciated how prompt our server was to address this when I notified her; however, from that point on I was very conscious to check my replacement food before eating. The replacement came within about 15 minutes and had a decent amount of chicken and a nice balance of meat and cheese. The accoutrements were lack luster. Sour cream = standard, pico de gallo = clearly store bought and tasted like it was on its last day before going rancid, and the guacamole was just mashed avocado(no seasoning, lime juice, etc.) All in all, I do not plan to revisit, but I hope they make the necessary changes to stay a trail hot spot! read more

The atmosphere was great and the food was ok...but the drinks were a step above the food sooo for that reason I'd come again!

I picked this spot due to its 3-7 happy hour and location. It was hot as Hades so we sat inside, but in cooler weather, would have loved to enjoy the large patio butting up to the Katy Trail. Talk about location! The happy hour had $7 quesadillas, tacos, and guacamole. Margs were also on the happy list the I enjoyed my Spicy margarita on the rocks while my husband drank his frozen mango/regular marg swirl. Not a huge fan of that. Inside, everyone was having a good time and it got very loud. All surfaces were hard so sound was bouncing everywhere. The staff handled a loud table with finesse, and they calmed down thankfully. Still, it was an overall time and all the food was solid. I'd go back. read more

Anytime my coworkers want to do HH after work I always recommend this restaurant. The appetizers, drinks, food, customer service, and ambiance is top notch.

Arrived here over this summer when it first opened for happy hour. There was a LONG wait to be seated. Good thing they had an outdoor area with a bar that we can order drinks and wait. They do have another stand alone drink cart that accepts cash only. Service was horrendous also. We eventually found a seat when people were leaving at the bar too. Food was mediocre. Would come back for the drinks. read more
