    Chips & salsa.
    Linda A.

    We hadn't been here in a good while and decided to try it again. We were promptly greeted and seated. We had two servers. One brought the menus, chips & salsa, drinks and took our order. The other brought our food. The burrito was excellent and a very great size. The American Street tacos were great in chicken, but unfortunately the carne asada wasn't. The steak tasted off and it was super tough. Our server never brought the guacamole, but it wasn't on the bill either. The decor is Mexican, but a little toned down from some. There are also TVs if you're interested in a game.

    Food really good, service excellent and ambiance so nice!! Will visit again. What's so great is the location close to Winn Dixie and IKEA.

    Ordered on 4/6/26 for the first time delivery. The taco combo with rice and beans. It showed up and it was amazing! Tacos were full of meat and not just lettuce. Decided to order again. Ordered the same combo but messed up and ordered the burritos. Amazing! Bib portions of rice and beans, again the burritos were full of meat and not fillers. Took me a year and a half to find my Mexican spot!

    I met up for an alumni chapter meeting at Tequila's Mexican restaurant. This was my first time. I enjoy the chips and salsa as well as the queso my friend ordered while we waited for dinner. Which did take a while to come out. I ordered two specialty tacos, shrimp with avocado and chicken and mushroom. Both were yummy! But my favorite was the shrimp with avocado, so much flavor! I also ordered the tres leches which was okay. I probably wouldn't order it again. When I checked in on Yelp I was offered a free tequila shot. I asked the server about it and he said he would get back to me. The manager explained they didn't offer/make the premade batch of tequila shots until the weekend. But he came to the table and offered all of us a tequila shot which he did with us. Very nice touch! I'll be back to explore more of the menu!

    We decided to give this place another try after hearing about the changes, and I'm glad we did. First off, everyone was friendly and attentive - especially our wonderful server. The chips were hot and fresh, and the salsa was good. We were also happy that a classic queso blanco was back on the menu and enjoyed it. Our entrees were huge! My spouse thought the carne asada he ordered was really good and actually ate most of the steak as we were there, although it could have easily been split into two servings, I think. And I liked my chiles rellenos! It tasted fresh and not soggy at all, which I've encountered elsewhere). We both liked our drinks, too. My husband enjoyed the mojito so much that he ordered two. I loved my aguachile margarita and appreciated that it had a bit of a spicy kick to it. It was a generous serving, too. The only criticism I have is that the booths are super squished -- neither my husband nor I had much breathing room. I'd request a table with a chair next time and hope that maybe they take one booth out to make things more comfortable along the side of the restaurant. It was pricey -- for three alcoholic drinks, two entrées, and one queso, the total came to $95 before tax. So, this won't be my "cheap and filling" spot, but it will be a place I return to.

    At the point where I have to complain i don't want to come back. The food has changed so much this use to be one of my favorite spots local in Jacksonville. The prices do not match up anymore. Update server made it better and said she would talk to owners

    Amazing food and service is always stellar! It's a must for the best Mexican in Jax! Juan (the manager) is on point, this is the best food and drinks in Jax. Ya gotta try this it.

    The food was great, service was fast and friendly, and the restaurant was clean. My rice bowl was delicious and filling. Everyone went home full and happy.

    Lunch time and happy hour. It was not crowded. We were immediately seated and were given menus to select our drinks. They have $3, $5 and $7 happy hour drinks. I got the large margarita. My tacos were hot and delicious. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh. They were so delicious no sauce was needed. The restroom was nice and clean. It looks like a bathroom at someone home. Home decor was very inviting.

    We hit up Tequilas for taco Tuesday and honestly I think they have some of the best tacos around. The meat and seasoning is excellent. I love the birria, al pastor, or shrimp tacos. My husband went a little adventurous by asking for a recommendation or maybe a surprise for his dish. I'm not sure lol but he got the most spicy dish I have ever seen him eat ever . Don't be like him but do try out their new menu! Very good service. They were so sweet in even bringing some orange slices for our little one. We had to try the tres leches cake. I enjoyed it with the chocolate shavings. I can tell they are very open to feedback and want to have customers in so I hope they are successful and that people give them a shot. The manager brought over shots of tequila and me and my mom couldn't do it so my husband had ours. We had no idea taco Tuesday would be so eventful. Thanks Tequilas for brightening up our weeknight.

    We wanted to have lunch at someplace new. Since my husband is a whiskey lover he wanted to check…read morethis place out. It's a free standing restaurant in the St. John's Shopping Center. We were immediately impressed when we went in; lots of dark wood and a long bar with shelves and shelves of spirits. There were mostly bourbons and whiskeys. They even had a rolling ladder so bartenders could reach top-shelf bottles. We had about a 10 minute wait for a table on a Saturday for lunch. The time went by quickly and we were seated at a small wooden table. Our server, Erin, approached us quickly and took our drink orders. I ordered a Blue Moon and my husband had the WC Old-Fashioned. It was made with Evan Williams 1783 Bourbon and he said it was quite good. ($13). For food; I had the Rooster Royale which was a fried chicken sandwich with pickles and hot honey BBQ sauce. It was $16.50, and one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had! Even the bun was delicious! I'd planned on only eating half; but I ended up eating it all because it was so good. I also had the homemade chips which were yummy too. My husband had the Reuben which was $19. He said it was really tasty and full of meat. He commented that it didn't get "mushy" or fall apart. He had the crispy potatoes as his side and he raved about those too. We really enjoyed our meal at Whiskey Cake and would definitely return. The only drawback I can think of is that they don't seem to have very many healthy lo-cal options.

    We came here today for my goddaughter's graduation celebratory lunch. Having never been here I was…read morenot sure what the menu options would be or what to expect. First I have to commend Christina, who was our server. A table of eight, she managed us with such grace, professionalism, and outstanding service! With a constant smile on her face, she asked us open questions and was very attentive. Not once did I have to ask for an iced tea refill because she was staying on top of it! The menu, though short with options did have a creative variety. We all tried the cinnamon roll, which I have to say was beyond, and I do mean beyond outstanding. In fact, it was the best cinnamon roll I have ever had with the toasted pecans and the sauce. WOW!! I ended up with the pancakes and eggs, and the eggs were cooked perfectly! The pancakes were were thick and had good flavor. It was a little overcooked for what I prefer, but overall, it was very good. Looking at the other options of what friends were having the food looked amazing. I am not a bacon eater, but one of our table mates had a bacon dish that she said was phenomenal. I will definitely be back
