We went to Tequilas D'Oro for 5 de Mayo and we loved it! We got there before 6pm and there was a big line however they had outdoor seating for a Tacos only menu with no line at all. Sadly because it was super busy we couldn't get any dessert :( but we will go back for it! The tacos were delicious and their skinny margaritas were perfect. They had a Mariachi/ karaoke who was really good and talented and made the ambiance of the place very pleasant read more

Tequilas D Oro - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I was looking for a late night Spanish food spot and stumbled upon Tequilas D Oro , once entering the ambiance is loud and very hectic. Almost that of a club, the servers were pleasant and quick , which I do appreciate. The food needs a big improvement , What I ordered Queso : which came out thick like a barely melted block of cheese. Enchilada trio : verde , plain chicken and queso The star of the show was the verde , it was seasoned to perfection with a little kick of spice. The other two were quite bland to me. Churros : while I could tell they were homemade , I think feel short in flavor. read more

The food is really good and high quality. The drinks could use some love, while they were very aesthetically pleasing, the house margarita and the mango margarita was not my favorite at this restaurant. read more

After a day of volunteering, my friend and I was famished. Using the power of Yelp, Tequilas D Oro was our choice. And what a great choice it was. The interior is spacious, fun and modern. We were quickly seated and started with chips and dip. I say dip because it wasn't salsa, seemed like runny refried beans. Wasn't bad, just unexpected. The food was above average, but the drinks were the star of the show. My friend got the coco loco which is two drinks in one. I got the margaritas sampler. The presentation was so cute and fun. Definitely try this place for fun food and a great drinks. read more

Yummy!!!! We had everything from nachos to churros and everything was scrumptious. I can honestly say I have never had a coconut margarita but it was tasty. (Think pina coladaish) The nachos were cheesy and on point. The Alambre Mediterraneo was spectacular and my chicken poblano was super delicious. If you get a chance try the table side guacamole, I didn't get a picture because we devoured it but it was definitely one of the best I've had. read more

Joined some friends here for lunch and had a great meal. The food is so fresh. They have a salsa bar and they make the guacamole fresh at the table. I had the American tacos and they were delicious as was the rice and beans. I especially liked the rice. We finished with the churros which were like donuts and were the best churros I have ever had. The service was great and there is plenty of seating. I will definitely be back. read more

I'll admit upfront--I'm tough on Mexican restaurants. I've spent a lot of time in Mexico and eaten well outside the typical U.S. version, so my expectations are probably a little unfair. Started with the peach margarita. I mean... look at it. Absolute showstopper--salted rim, fruit garnish, umbrella, the whole production. But taste-wise? It's a 3 out of 5. Not bad, just missing that punch you expect when it looks that good. Chips came out warm, lightly salted, and honestly--really solid. That's how you start a meal right. The salsa though... wasn't really salsa at all. More like a pleasant surprise that turned into a disappointment on flavor. It tasted like spiced bean water--thin, warm, and just never quite delivered. Not offensive, just nothing to grab onto. Then came the "slopchos." And I'll give credit--these are actually delicious. Great toppings, good flavor, you can see the effort. But here's the issue--nachos are supposed to be eaten with chips, not a fork. The second I need utensils, we've lost the plot. There's a full layer of beans underneath that turns the whole thing into a race against time. Five minutes in and you're not eating nachos anymore--you're managing them. Eat fast or accept your fate. I'll always order a classic crunchy ground beef taco, because sometimes you just want that full-on American version--hard shell, ground beef, lettuce, tomato, cheese. Boom. This delivered exactly what it's supposed to. Cheese enchilada was... fine. Nothing offensive, nothing memorable. It leaned a little too close to that mild, almost Taco Bell-style sauce. Cheese was okay, just didn't elevate anything. Service, though, was a bright spot. Bartender was attentive, brought water with the oversized margarita (smart move), and people kept checking in. This was at 4:30--not exactly peak hours--so that stood out. Overall, this place wins on presentation but plays it safe on flavor. There are definitely things worth ordering, but if you're chasing bold, authentic Mexican flavors, you might leave wanting more. If you go in expecting solid, American-style Mexican food with a few highlights, you'll be happy. Just don't let the visuals fool you into expecting more than what shows up on the plate. read more

I decided to try this Mexican restaurants since I've never been before. When I arrive I really like the way it looked outside the building was really nice and the sign was cute also. Inside was decorated nice they have a large bar. The server was very nice and friendly. When they brought out the chips with the bean dip and nose pasta I was a little bit surprised but then I was quickly told that they have a whole station with different salsas and I was so excited about that. I love different types of salsas. They had different flavor flavors and spice levels it was amazing I love that!! the food was pretty good I ordered the chicken enchiladas. I definitely will be back and probably very soon! read more

Last minute girls night out on a weekday! We needed a place to go and I wanted a good drink. Yelp brought up this place and we decided to check it out. The building is big and beautiful both inside and out. Its kind of hidden but once you know its there you will never forget! The food and drinks were amazing and I can't wait to go back for another visit! We order the margaritas flight but instead of frozen we asked for it to be on the rocks. When you order it this way, you dont get as many flavors though. We also ordered two additional small margaritas that didn't come to the table looking very small. The drinks were made with fresh fruit so they will have pulp in it but we all enjoyed the drinks. There was a live band playing in the restaurant for the night. They came to the table and sang whatever "mood" of song you wanted. They did a great job so we gave a tip. The server was very knowledgeable and helpful when asked for recommendations. Everyone was quick to assist and friendly. The food and drinks came out quick as well. We ordered shrimp enchiladas, the breaded fish tacos and the shrimp tacos. I loved the breaded fish tacos. The corn and the beans that came on the side had lots of flavor which was really unusual for me. I'm use to most places having bland sides that only taste good when accompanied by the entree. The rice and the beans were so good they could have been served alone and I would have eaten them by themselves! There were three fish tacos and I was almost full after the first one but after drinking more tequila I knew I needed to at least finish one more. This place is another hidden gem that will be added to our list. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

I really am glad to jump on the bandwagon here and say that this place is AWESOME! From the moment I stepped through the door everyone was super welcoming and extremely pleasant. We were initially seated next to a large group but I decided to ask about the bar and I'm so glad that I did. Once at the bar I was greeted by not one but two awesome bartenders who made me feel like I had the entire restaurant to myself haha. Extremely enjoyable. Now I will say their menu is HUGE!!! So if you happen to struggle with deciding what to order like I do then get something off of every other page! Lol I had the pleasure of having Omar be my main bartender and waiter for the afternoon and he was fantastic. He suggested drinks to try and they were spot on. I ordered the Molcajete, the Coco Loco and the trip fajitas as well. 10/10!!! read more

Night out with friends and had been on the list. Kicked off with table side guacamole, chips that came with beans. And a salsa bar with some great options. Margaritas- mango, regular, coconut. We ordered mediums and they were super sized. While the size and toppings was a lot, but it was fun and they tasted good. Loved the coconut. Very delicious. We also ordered the esquite (corn dip) which was one of the best I tried. All of us landed on the birria tacos. Savory, lots of meat, served with beans and rice. You get three so naturally some came home. Good vibe as well with both inside and outside seating as well as good service. Will be back and try other options outside of tacos. The menu has a lot, probably best to look in advance. read more

Absolutely phenomenal service, outstanding fresh food, and brand new ambiance! What a wonderful experience! As soon as you walk through the door, the staff greet you with smiles. The menu is very large and they have a little bit for everyone. The prices are good for the amount of food received. The quality is phenomenal and with every bit you can taste fresh ingredients. They offer happy hour from 3-5pm Monday through Friday. I did want to mention our server Marlon was great and explained everything with such detail and gave great recommendations. Highly recommend to anyone to come visit Tequilas D Oro! ^.^ We will definitely be back soon. read more

I came here for a quick lunch. The servers attentive and quick. Although I did ask for a side of pico for my entree and it never came. The chips and salsa were delivered immediately upon sitting down, but unfortunately it is not a typical salsa. It was more akin to tahini. I didn't find it complemented Mexican food. The tacos were fine. Rather light on the filling and rather dry. It is a big restaurant and the prices reflect high overhead. I would recommend it if you are looking for a large place for drinks with friends. There are better and Find more authentic restaurants than this one. read more

5 stars across the board! Good food and good cocktails. Oh and of course good service too. They offer a salsa bar! When you sit down you're greeted with chips and a bean dip. You can select a variety of salsa for your chips as well. They have TV's around the bar. Music playing. Indoor/outdoor seating. Patrons are in a good mood as well. Most meal selections can be shared. I had leftovers that I ate twice the next day. Definitely coming back! read more

Garcia was our server and an absolute delight, friendly, effective, knowledgeable. The portions are more than generous, every one of our party of four took home for lunch. Our dishes were plated in an attractive way, hot and super fresh. Grilled cactus as a garnish was a delicious surprise. The Charro beans are fabulous. Easy parking, tables inside and outside under the covered patio, and plenty of bar seating make this optimal. We will definitely be back I'm stretching here for a drawback, so will say the smell of Fabuloso lingers. read more

First of all, let me say the aesthetic of this place is wonderful. Beautiful inside and out. My favorite part has to be the fresh salsa bar that allows you to pick and choose which salsas you want and also has pickled jalapeño. And let me not forget the table side guacamole! Amazing presentation and loaded to the max! I ordered the veggie California burrito sans rice and beans. It has Mexican mashed potatoes in it and the portion size is huge! The burrito was so flavorful and smothered in queso. Bonus points for them having AMAZING HORCHATA!! This is a big deal for me lol! Our server Paulino was also great, continuous check ins to make sure we were good and very pleasant! read more

Food is good for the price. We got asaed tacos and veggie chimichangas (asked for no queso and no sour cream). Tacos are good quality but lack a bit of flavor; veggie chimichanga was good with big portion size (only able to eat half). Drinks are delicious especially for the price. We got frozen and house margarita and only $8 each. Again, portion size for the drink is big too, they also come with cute little umbrellas! The server was friendly, doesn't speak English super fluently but she asked questions to make sure she got the orders correct. read more

This place is massive! Came here for lunch and was greeted warmly by their staff. They have a cart for guacamole that they will make in front of you, however we opted out on that as my husband is not a fan. They brought out complimentary chips, not with salsa as you'd expect but with a smooth, blended bean dip. I got some salsa from their salsa bar, which was nice! We ordered the following: Birria Tacos - it came with beans, rice, and of course the consommé. Great flavor but it would be better if the tortillas were crispier. Menudo - if a restaurant has this in their menu, then I would absolutely order it! Theirs came more with pork feet and tripe. It was good, but I still prefer the one at our usual local spot. Overall, I enjoyed their food and will come back if we are in the area. read more

If you love Mexican food, you need the check out the new TDO! I dined here recently in a party of nine & everyone was happy with the meal. The chips are served with a bean dip because they have a salsa bar with multiple options to choose from. A word of caution - if you don't specify the size of margarita you want, you will receive a "medium" which is big! I placed my water glass next to it for comparison. I love guava so I was excited to have a guava margarita, but I have to admit it wasn't what I was expecting. I realized that is because I'm used to sweetened guava paste whereas this was made with fresh guava including seeds. It was tasty & I finished it but I'll try another flavor next time. And it will be hard to choose from the extensive list of margaritas they offer! We ordered two orders of guacamole which is prepared table-side. I love avocado but unfortunately have an allergic reaction to it thanks to oral allergy syndrome. I did enjoy just one bite & it was very good. For my entree, I went with Enchiladas Tricolor / 3 ground beef (my selection) or shredded chicken enchiladas, topped with green sauce, queso dip, and red sauce, served with rice and Bandera salad (lettuce, pico de gallo. guacamole, and sour cream). It was delicious and a hearty portion that allowed me to take half home as leftovers. read more

I stopped in with some friends for the first time. They ordered a couple different margaritas which were pretty large and included fresh fruit!! All of us ordered different types of tacos and we took advantage of their salsa bar too! The Salsa bar is primo, offering everything from mild to spicy, smooth to chunky, and even some sliced peppers! My brisket tacos were really yummy and they came with beans and rice which was a good value for dinner! The service was quick and very friendly. One of my friends needed a to-go box and it was like we summoned him with our thoughts and the waiter magically arrived. I really like that they have a well lit patio, an open bar, and multiple table options to accommodate for basically any outing or group size. I will definitely be back! Highly recommend. read more

Tequilas D Oro - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Fun, vibrant atmosphere! It was kind of quiet in there for a Friday evening, but all of the staff looked happy and willing to be there. My friends and I were there for a birthday dinner. We ordered the table side, guacamole, drinks, and main entrées. Everything was fast, fresh, and made the way it was requested. They did not skimp on anything, including the margaritas! Flavors were spot on and nothing was overcooked. I had the fajitas nachos, and it was great! One thing I thought was a little odd was they did not serve salsa with the chips... But they did have a salsa bar so it was available if you wanted it. I did not personally try the bean dip, but the others said it was great. read more

Let's start off with the mandartory starters.. queso and guacamole. Any time the place has tableside guacamole they start the meal on a positive note. The fact that they were willing to modify the guacamole to meet our tastes was even better. The queso was a good sized portion and paired well with bottomless chips. For the mail dish, I had their birria tacos and let me say, if I could get my pot roast to turn out as tender as the meat on these tacos, family dinner night would be far more popular. Couple amazing food with drinks that were so big they made me feel like an evil wizard had shrunk me down in size (and we only got the medium sized drinks!). read more

Tequilas D Oro - Table side guac and salsa from the salsa bar - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

One of my new favorite Mexican places! WOW! Evrerything was great. We went on a Tuesday night (Taco Tuesday of course, but no tacos for us that night). We were treated so well. What we loved: * Table side guacamole about 2 in minutes after we arrived. Perfect! Very traditional and just right. * Service - everyone was so nice. Not only our waiter checked on us but other staff members stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed. * I had the Burrito de Birria. I'm picky about birria. This was no disappointment. The meat was extremely tender and the flavor was great. And the size - it was probably 14" in length. * My friend had the Guanajuato burrito. It was full of steak and enough to share if you wanted to try. * Atmosphere - they had a Mexican singer while we were there and he had a great voice. They have plenty of seating inside and outside. We can't wait until the weather is nice enough to sit outside. * Salsa bar - you get a salsa with your chips, but there is an awesome salsa bar with at least six different types. What we hated: * We could not try more dishes! We were so full and took home half of our dishes for lunch the next day. I can't wait for our next visit and look forward to trying more items on the menu. I'm not even sure they have Taco Tuesday but we didn't care. read more

Went here for a date night with my wife and overall had a great time. I ordered the classic chicken tacos -- they were good, not amazing, but to be fair I didn't realize they had a salsa bar. That's on me, so I'll definitely be back to give them another try with the full experience. The table-side guacamole was hands down a 10/10 -- fresh, flavorful, and fun to watch being made. Drinks were another highlight. We tried the coconut, pineapple, cucumber margaritas, a mango mojito, and even an old fashioned. All of them were tasty and unique. While we were there, a couple birthdays were being celebrated, and the vibe was a lot of fun. The staff brought out tambourines, sang happy birthday, and did celebratory shots with the tables. All in all, it's a lively spot with great drinks, excellent guacamole, and a fun atmosphere. I'd recommend it for date night, birthdays, or just a night out, and I'll definitely be going back read more

Tequilas d'Oro is a fun spot! The guacamole was absolutely delicious, love that they come right to the table and make it fresh. The tacos were good (I've definitely had better elsewhere, but still enjoyable). I didn't realize until afterward that there's a salsa bar, so next time I'll know to grab my own condiments to spice things up. The adult drinks were the highlight! We tried the (small) pineapple margarita, coconut margarita, spicy Mexican, and mango mojito; all fresh and flavorful. While we were eating, we saw a few birthdays being celebrated and it was so cute! The staff came out with a tambourine, shots, and sang Happy Birthday!Definitely making a mental note to come back here for my birthday. Overall, a lively spot with tasty drinks, fresh guac, and a fun atmosphere! read more

Always on the hunt for good margs and fajitas, we checked it out last night. We were not disappointed! The atmosphere is fancy casual - welcoming to families and groups but nice enough for a date night too. Now about dinner: fajitas for 2 is feeding us again for lunch!! The tortillas were hot and fresh (corn and flour, both). The grilled veggies included squash with the onions and bell peppers (nice touch!). The accompaniment platters of beans, rice, pico (YUM), guacamole and sour cream were plentiful. And the salsa bar offers seven different flavors to try (bigger bowls would be nice since the chips don't fit into the 2oz cups). Overall, wow! And the drinks?? WOW!! The medium house marg is HUGE, and really tasty (and strong). My husband preferred mine on the rocks to his frozen, and they offer so many flavors too! Our server, Joshua, was top-notch! He answered questions, accommodated special needs, was prompt, polite, and I would request his section again. Definitely made our evening enjoyable with his great service. Not many Mexican restaurants in Jacksonville earn a decent review from this picky Texan when it comes to fajitas and margaritas... ¡buen trabajo, Tequilas d'Oro, y buen provecho a todos!! read more

Our waitress was Ms. Norma and she was absolutely wonderful. For starters, she asked if we wanted a small or medium sized margarita. We opted for medium. It was def not a medium, more like an XTRA GRANDE! Now don't get me wrong, it's far from a complaint. Not only was the large-a-rita, I mean margarita, massive but it was strong. Again, no complaints from me at all! I got the Steak Pueblo cooked medium with the queso in the side. It was really good! Especially when I used the one of the many salsas from the salsa bar. The bf got the chicken quesadilla which he said was really good! I didn't try it myself (I don't eat chicken breast, don't ask lol). The ambiance is upbeat, high ceilings with pretty lighting inside. They play some top spanish hits that made the visit a bit more fun. Between the service, massive margs, open late on a Sunday and decent food, we will definitely be back! We had to take our drinks tomorrow because there was no we could finish them and get home. read more

Ashamed to say I didnt know this restuarant had been in the area for so long, I thought it was new! We visited on a weeknight so we were seated immediately. I would say the service is decent, not outstanding so thats the reason for the 4 stars. The food however is very good! They serve conpmimentary chips that come with salsa and a refried bean sauce. I tried the Chipotle shrimp and it was fantastic! I really enjoy that they have the more than the standard typical Mexican restaurant food. Their margaritas are huge as well! I cant say they are the best margarita I have had but the price point and size i think makes up for it. They also have a fun salsa bar with a lot of different options, I do wish that instead of plates they had small bowls to hold the salsa. Overall the experience was good and the food was wonderful. Definitely give them a try! read more

While visiting from Maryland, we visited Tequilas D Oro 3 times during our 5 day visit. Since the weather was beautiful, we decided to eat outside on the patio. Once seated our server brought out complimentary chips and a bean puree. I am wasn't a fan of the puree. Our server stated that they had a salsa bar inside that we could help ourselves too. The variety of homemade salsas were extensive. They ranged from mild to extremely hot. We enjoyed combining salsa to find the right combination. We ordered a chicken burrito and a shrimp enchilada. The portions were huge! It took us two days to finish our flavorful meals! The authentic flavors were on point! Our server/bartender was phenomenal! His attentive service was an extra added bonus...hence why we visited 2 times in one day! read more

Tequilas D Oro - Table side guacamole - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

We came here on a whim because we were all hungry and my sister suggested this location. This restaurant is located in a building that has been many places (Greek restaurants, hookah bars, etc.). It's located in Tinseltown. We parked and were greeted when we entered. We looekd over the menu and opted to get some tableside guac. It was made to our liking (no jalapenos, no cilantro). It tasted very fresh. We were also given complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa wasn't really a salsa, but more of a bean dip. It tasted good. The menu is huge. I opted to get beef chimichangas. My husband got a few tacos, and my kiddo got the kids mozzarella sticks. Everything came out pretty quickly. I really enjoyed my chimichangas. They were covered in queso. My kiddo enjoyed his mozzarella sticks and my husband enjoyed his tacos. I'm sure we'll be back. read more

The exterior of the restaurant gives off an upscale vibe. We were seated promptly upon entering, arriving around lunchtime on a Saturday. Floors were quite slippery on our way to the table. Restroom needed attention as it had a terrible smell.. My wife ordered the tableside guacamole, which she found underwhelming, compared to other places. I ordered fajitas with a beer. Noticed the table was wobbly, but luckily it didn't break. The fajitas arrived in a large portion, but were mostly vegetables with a small amount of chicken and beef. Overall, the food was mediocre and overpriced. Service was lacking as well. read more

The Jacksonville area has some great Mexican restaurants. There are two in particular that I frequent often, but Tequilas D Oro, just made my decision harder. Amazing food, fantastic service, beautiful decor and a salsa bar that really sets this place apart from others. The place is huge. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. The interior has both elegant and casual sections, areas that are open and others where you could hold a private event if needed. The menu is expansive and while I didn't get to try everything, I can tell you all that my wife and i ordered was delicious. The chips are made in house and really tasty. The salsa bar is arranged from mild to spicy and you go right to left and I can tell you first hand, spicy means spicy. The bean dip was a first for me and really nice with the chips as well. So many great salsas to sample. Really a great idea. My wife ordered a couple of margaritas and i had a taste. Very nice, light, and her Medium was actually large. I had the dinner quesadilla and it was truly elevated along with my beans, rice and all the sides. One of the best quesadillas I've had. A special shout out to our waitress Mar who was just a delight, was attentive and took great pride in her work and the restaurant as well. It was as if she was the owner. This is a must is you're in Jacksonville. I highly recommend. read more
