Music too loud for me, but I'm not hating. Some Patrons love the music loud and I'm sure they will keep it that way.Parking: Parking is based on timing and luck

Horrible service!!!! Bartender/Manager who was running the bar at the time had horrible attitude didn't offer anything to us... happy hour prices didn't match our ticket!!! Beer that was supposed to be $1.99 was $3.99 Margarita that was supposed to $3.49 was $11.99 Worst thing was that since the manager was technically our server she doesn't want to fix ticket or even come to talk to us!!!!

Great service, good food, we had a parrillada and the queso fundido. Drinks were good also. Our waiter was very attentive even with it being pretty packed and joked around with us all night.

This has been hard to score. If I went on service it was five star. But the food was cruising to a four until dessert which really took the score down. So I was on the way home from PT and had been thinking about a taco salad from Tia's taco hut but turns out the one on Huebner closes at 3 PM...bummer so continue to drive thinking where can I stop. I'm tired, sweaty, hungry and don't want to have a longer drive. Then I remember Grand Tequila....I always forget about it tucked between a gas station and Willies. Have never tried it but surely I can get that there. So sail in like I said bent over and sweaty from PT and glad to be out of rush hour traffic. I'm seated right away...just made end of happy hour and he quickly gets me a frozen margarita....my day is improving. There is quite a menu with a few interesting dishes that I will probably be back to try on another visit. Some lovely sounding seafood enchilada dishes. My mouth is set for taco salad...with sour cream and guacamole and tomato and picadillo. They nicely add sour cream for me and I dig in...only later do I notice the shell is stuck to the plate with a layer of refried beans...OOPS...I'm allergic to pinto beans. I call the waiter over and he brings me a spoon and plate so I can rescue my salad....the beans are soaking through the bottom. My fault for diving right in and not looking...but I was starving. The salad was nice but I like more chopped tomatoes and guacamole as opposed to slices of avocado. But a solid taco salad...drink was great . Had I stopped here it would have been four stars...but the sopapillas were calling my name. It took a very long time and while the presentation was nice they were not like any sopapillas I have ever had before....it means little pillows...this was more like the pillowcases. I think it was just flour tortillas fried, with a empty inside to put honey. There was sugar and cinnamon over them and a nice chocolate drizzle on the plate....but not my idea of sopapillas. So my advice is to skip those if you want puffy sopapillas. Hopefully the flan will be better. Good happy hour looks like nice happy hour food. Definitely worth a stop in to enjoy and I will be returning.

Needed somewhere close after spending all day at Sea World because the kids were hungry. This place was super close to where we were staying and had overall high marks. We were seated super fast no wait despite arriving at peak dinner time. Great service and food. Margarita was really good! Only down side is the volume of the place. Then again, this might be a positive if you don't want kids or wife complaining because you can't really have a conversation. I had the grand Mexican deluxe plate. Super tasty!! Would definitely come back!

This place was absolutely great. The service was amazing. Our server was very attentive. The Bartender was great and kept the table hydrated. We stayed for a couple hours during happy hour and had a blast! The food was yummy and my guests really enjoyed all the drinks and shots that they ordered. It really was a nice afternoon. I highly recommend.

I was traveling with a group of work friends, and we happened to discover Grand Tequila across the street from our hotel. It doesn't take our group long to decide that tacos and tequila are the right choice for the evening. I was the first of twelve to arrive, and I had all the chips and salsa to myself, along with a really tasty house margarita. I tried to restrain myself, but you know how the next few minutes went. It's so wonderful to eat Tex Mex in Texas, knowing that they won't slam me with a bunch of cilantro. Thank God for the Great State of Texas! My meal was tasty, just as Tex Mex is supposed to be! The refried beans were perfect, my enchilada was just as good as my taco, and we had a grand time. The restaurant was able to accommodate our large group, and we had a blast. #todaysdiscovery

I normally can handle plane foods but this place was just nasty. The rice was try to the bone and was so plane that I had to put salt on it to eat it, and the beans tasted like some canned stuff from the store and to add to that, I had to put salt on it to eat it. The enchilada gravy tasted like school gravy or some canned stuff. The tortillas were burnt and not good and to make it worse, the price they should have charged me for was not what I payed for. I wouldn't suggest this place to anyone.

Great food and great drinks with indoor and outdoor seating. The service was friendly and fast. The tortilla chips and dip were great and they have some fun colored chips to add some excitement to your meal. The food tasted good, it's a basic average to higher end, casual Mexican restaurant. I can't say anything stuck out to me as being extremely good. But, it's a large restaurant with ample parking and decent food. Good for groups and excellent drink options.

Great Mexican restaurant, very authentic. The drinks were amazing, everyone was very kind, and they even had karaoke! I ordered the mini tacos both times I went and I enjoyed both times a lot. The prices are a little bit higher, but it's so worth it. Everyone there is very nice and helpful. I'm definitely coming back!

Saw KSAT 12 posted that they failed their inspection recently on may 2nd. This place must stink I guess. All I know is that my family came in there 3 years ago and no one approached us for 20 minutes after being sat there by the host team. We ended up leaving in hunger and I'm glad I never went back; needless to say it was a good idea because we had pizza that day.

Well part of enjoying your food is the service. Unfortunately our server was hurried, and made annoyed faces when we ordered. My parents are elderly and can be slow to order. She was not a pleasant or patient server. On arrival my food was cold and had to be sent back to be warmed up. Items we ordered where not there and we had to wait for it to be brought to us. I don't know if it was just a bad day for her but as a result I probably will not return.
