We've ate out here multiple times and always have a great experience. The food is flavorful and consistent! We enjoy the fajitas, birria tacos and margaritas. read more

I love Tacos and its usually my first search. Searching: I need Tacos... Nice upbeat location. Beautiful decor and stacking on tequila and vodka. Service was good. The food was probably the best spot we tried out here. The meat had alot of flavor and the salsas were good. I did enjoy my mix drink too. If you're visiting I think this place is a good spot. read more

My friends and I visited Tequila Veintiuno's this evening and loved the food and service. When they brought our order of Salmon Cozumel, I thought there was no way I could eat it all but it was so good there was only some rice left on my plate. It was amazing. The salmon was moist and it was topped with some amazing shrimp. Service was also good and efficient. We look forward to returning read more

Tequila Veintiuno - Salmon Cozumel - Mexican Near Me - Cocoa, Florida

Upon first entering the place, right away I notice it wasn't busy. So, automatically I think it must not be the best place to be. I sat down anyway. Our bartender was very friendly and caring. She asked me what I was drinking and it took a minute to decide and she offered many options. That right away is a great bartender. I ordered an Ultra and waited for my nachos to come. She was friendly while waiting, knowing they close in an hour. I love it when they act like no one bothers them. I'd be back in heart beat but sadly I live 3 hours away. Good job!! read more

Had lunch there today with a friend. I have been there before however it was over a year ago and I really enjoyed it. However today I was extremely disappointed in the food. We both ordered the fish tacos and I have to say there was hardly a scant piece of fish to be found in our tacos. What was there was dry and tasteless. Tacos were covered in lettuce to hide the so called fish. For $21 it was a complete waste of money and I will not return. Service was good however the place was run down and dirty. Vinyl booths were cracked and scratched my legs. Chips and salsa were minimal at best. I can honestly say with all the great Mexican restaurants in this area this place is heading down the drain. read more

Wanted to try something new in our area, decided to try Tequila Veintiuno. We had taco salads for dinner, and asked for ranch dressing to go with our salads. We were charged $7.00 for the dressing!!!!! The salad was only $15 each and to charge us $7.00 on top of that for the dressing. Salad was good, until we got our bill. We will never go back there!!! read more

Love this place! It's truly a hidden gem. The street tacos are my absolute go-to, and they never disappoint. Their chips and salsa are hands down the best I've had in the area--fresh, flavorful, and absolutely addictive. Right now, the festive holiday decorations make the atmosphere even more inviting and cozy. On top of the amazing food and ambiance, the staff are incredibly sweet and friendly, always making you feel welcome. I can't recommend this spot enough! read more

Tequila Veinteuno, 2311 FL HWY 524 Cocoa, FL., 32926 1 Star According to my random name generator, I was heading up the coast to a little place on the northern part of the county, Tequila Veinteuno, in Cocoa, FL. While I always approach Mexican restaurants with some trepidation, you never know if you are getting authentic Mexican or American-influenced Tex-Mex or southwest cuisine. Once inside, I noticed the ceiling. It was rather festive, so my first thought was, "Oh, great. They are going for the stereotypical "fiesta" atmosphere of our neighbors to the South. This had me leaning toward "fake" Mexican fare. Once seated, my waiter came over and introduced himself as Gavyn. Gavyn struck me as being about as sharp as a marble, and I'll leave it at that. I did manage to get in an order for some Pastor Carne Asado street tacos and some Barbacoa el Mexicano. If you look at the pictures I snapped of my meal, it certainly looks like appetizing food. However, while many in public office are accused of peculating from the general fund, I can say unequivocally that this place is stealing from every place that serves food when it attempts to pass itself off as a restaurant. Microwaved meat. Let that sink in a moment--microwaved meat. I wonder why anyone would microwave food in a restaurant, as several alternatives exist. Microwaving makes all flesh flaccid, mushy and gross, with a layer of unappetizing slime on the meat. The flavoring was spot on and while everything was executed fine, if the meat is microwaved, it overrides everything else. Oh, and are refried beans supposed to be slightly orange-tinted? Asking for a friend... The Big Boy says, "Microwaved meat is not my style and the food here is horrid because of it. It's not on the swill level. If push came to shove, you could eat it and keep it down, but it is an abhorrent insult to Mexican food. read more

I was in the area visiting my uncle and aunt and they both said their favorite Mexican restaurant was this one. They made an incredible recommendation. The salsa was the darkest color I've ever seen salsa before. The taste was mild but just seemed to have more depth to its flavor. It was a good in-between chunky and runny. I chose the Burrito 21 as my entree. This burrito was humongous! There were several meat choices which I like from a Mexican restaurant. I chose the carbitas. The carnitas was really seasoned well and pretty tender. I loved the burrito being chopped with queso and red burrito sauce. I don't like a lot of rice and beans in my burrito because some places they stuff as much rice and beans in a burrito and not much else. I asked the waitress to go light on the beans and they did exactly what I expected! Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! Keto lovers would love this place as well since there is a lot of choices that don't include rice, beans, tortullas, and if only you can resist chips with the salsa. This is not your run-of-the-mill Mexican and it deserves a 5. read more

Been here 3 times and ordered something different each time. Everything has been tasty and plentiful (even more so if you order the Molcajete which is HUGE for one person). The interior is vibrant and inviting. Simply put, this is not the crusty old Mexican restaurant that you're used to. The staff and owners are friendly and the food is quick to the table in our experience. They make some good margaritas and the Molcajete comes in two varieties. I've only had the meat one, not the seafood one. My only comment there is that I wish the cheese had been grated on top like others I've had, not a stick of cheese like mine had. When that cheese melts on the sides of the lava bowl? Delicious! Crispy and chewy cheese is the best! The birria tacos were perfect and not overly salty like some I've had in the past. Overall, we really like this place. We have about 3 Mexican restaurants we now have to rotate through after finding this place. It's a welcome addition with some good choices and atmosphere! read more

Great place...friendly, clean and food is amazing. Margaritas are the best I've found in the area!!

Stopped by after hearing alot about this new Mexican restaurant. I hear they have alot of special steak offerings here similar to what you would find at finer restaurants in Mexico. Like many restaurants today the stress of labor is obvious. Our server was friendly and attentive but she was overwhelmed by tables, so of course we tried to be understanding. I ordered a special, cant remember the name but it was beef, chicken, shrimp, peppers, onions topped with avocado and cheese served in a piping hot large mortar. A mango margaritas on the rocks to wash it down. To be honest, the margaritas was just ok, nothing special really. The entree came in a reasonable amount of time which was surprising for the level of visible staff. It was HOT and delicious and very reminiscent of an expertly made alternative to fajitas. It also cane with a tasty side if rice and beans. For dessert I ordered the flank. It also came out pretty quickly. To be honest, it more closely represented the dense very Carmel flavor flan I make at home. Impressive! read more

I visited Tequila Veintiuno on Friday with 20 friends. It's not easy getting them to all agree on anything but everyone was happy with the food, beverages, prices and service. Carmen and staff did not disappoint on providing a smooth delivery with a smile to a large party of boisterous friends celebrating a long anticipated retirement. The Keto Diva Margarita was just right for me and I'm particular about Margaritas. A true Margarita only has 3 or 4 ingredients and the Keto Diva with Tequila, Cointreau, lime juice and a bit of agave nectar checked all the boxes. I know there are mixed reviews for this restaurant but our group couldn't have asked for a better experience. We will certainly be back to Tequila Veintiuno! read more

Love this place. This is like the only place in Cocoa that stays open past 10p and still serves food, lol. They def tapped in to a market in the area that don't have too many good restaurants. Each time I've came we were seated right away. The chips always come out nice, crisp and hot. Salsa has great flavor and compliments the chips well. Ive has their Birria tacos which are amazing, the carne Asada street tacos , and elote street corn, sides of rice, beans and plantains. Everything I've had here has been great. This is def my late night hit and run spot. read more

Some of the entrees are pretty good, and that's the highlight that redeems this establishment. The service is inconsistent and unpredictable and there is an often an obnoxious lady (manager/owner?) out front sometimes that can be quite rude. We once made a reservation for the family and when we arrived she pretty much called us liars until another junior hostess corrected her oversight and seated us. No apology. The margaritas and specialty drinks are also remarkably subpar. Not a place to seek out, but will still do in a pinch because it's close by and the food quality is usually above average. read more

I thought I had already left a review for this place, but definitely wanted to do so because it is fantastic. We were trying to find a place that was semi-centrally located for our friends who live in Orlando, Melbourne, and we live in the Daytona area and we came across this place. The owner was awesome and the staff were friendly, and when they found out, we were a group of college friends, who were kind of doing a little reunion, they surprised us with some complementary treats, which was a super-nice touch! Having lived in Texas, and been spoiled with Mexican food, I can say this place was fantastic and definitely a gem here in the Central Florida area!! read more

We've came here a few times since we live in the area but we normally know them for good food and poor service. Tonight, we had a server named Genesis who completed changed that. She was incredibly prompt, kind, and the food was great. Super happy with this experience and I hope they keep her happy enough for her to stay! We ordered two margaritas, small queso, and two entrees. All together plus tip came out to just under $80. read more

I tried them out based upon the 4.5-star average of the 44 reviews posted. These reviews must have been written by family and friends because my experience was not even close. I was seated immediately at lunchtime and after checking out the menu, I decided upon their "flagship" Burrito 21 with Shredded Chicken ($13). Free Chips and Salsa came out first, but they were boring and ordinary. When the Burrito arrived a few minutes later, it was HUGE. I tucked in and found a good amount of chicken inside. But the chicken, along with the other standard Burrito fillings, was tepid, bland and uninspired. The red sauce and cheese on top did nothing to boost the flavor. Meh, this lunchtime fiasco merely filled the void. I won't bother with a second visit due to the CHICKEN BONE I found inside my burrito. Yes, really! Service was friendly and efficient. read more

I mean, I'm not an overly picky person when it comes to Mexican food. However, I know when it's a step up from the norm. This place had it tonight! I ordered the table guacamole (can't go wrong with fresh made table-side guac) and the shrimp tacos. Soooo good! My friend ordered black beans and got refried so we switched. A shame for her 'cause they were damn tasty! My Mom got the taco salad, and oddly, rejoiced at the low lettuce content! I suppose it was topping heavy. She ate it all. My friend, a vegetarian, got a veggie filled quesadilla. She thought it was under-seasoned. I guess that's what you get for being a vegetarian! read more

Tequila Veintiuno - Table - Mexican Near Me - Cocoa, Florida

August 8, 2022 We came here for my wife's birthday dinner after only being in the area a few days. It was a Monday and the place was hoppin. When you walk in you get a modern Mexican feel with the decor. It has the typical Mexican restaurant dimmed lighting and is way bigger than it looks from the outside. We were promptly seated when we walked in and were greeted by the hostess. The restaurant was clean and well laid out. It was a tad noisy a good sign of people enjoying them selves. We were seated towards the back of the restaurant and had a view of the place. Our family loves guacamole and any time we have the chance to order it table side we do. The guac was made up of 2 avocados and all the add ins, jalapeños, onions, tomatoes, cilantro, lime, salt and pepper. In both my wife's and mines opinion the avocados were under ripe. It was still pretty good be definitely would have been better if the avocados were more ripe. My wife ordered chicken tacos and said they were pretty basic. I would say the same for the chicken enchiladas and the nachos. If your looking for decent Mexican food this would be your place. It's definitely Americanized in my opinion. read more

Ever since then, I think I've been there at least 5 times!! Inside is clean, the servers are attentive, and the food is DELICIOUS. Right when you sit down, someone brings free chips and salsa for you to munch on. I highly recommend the street corn and dessert nachos!

This was our 3rd visit at this restaurant. The last time we went was about a year ago and I can honestly say it doesn't seem like the same place. The service was okay; the server argued when we asked about the brown avocado on our bowl. The food was also not hot or even warm at all, the beans were dry, the cheese on top barely melted, salsa was bland, chips weren't hot... about everything that could have been wrong with the food really was. I ordered the Tequila 21 chicken which had good flavor but was again not even warm, it was about a 1/4 inch thick and the size of the palm of my hand. It was lunch but the menu advertised a half of a chicken breast. It was more like 1/4 of a chicken breast. Unfortunately, we will not go back. read more

We had dinner here last week. The young lady who was waiting on us seemed to be new. That's not a problem, we have all been new on a job. Her problem was being cranky and new. She finally asked for our drink orders. I forget what I ordered first, but it was way too sweet. Switched to a margarita. Again, very sweet. It took many extra pieces of lime to cut the sweet.. I ordered the Chiles Rellenos. they were cold in the middle. I finally flagged her down, and asked her to have this reheated. They likely microwaved the entire plate, so she brought me back 2 sagged out Rellenos, topped with melted sour cream and other items on the plate. The only thing I can say at this point, is that it was hotter, but still not right. At this point, I was really getting pissed, but she did do what I asked. The plate was reheated - the execution was just not there. For a place who has '21' tequilas in it's name to have such lousy margaritas is unacceptable. This was our first and last visit. No mas. read more
