This was a nice spot. We went one afternoon for a quick lunch and food was amazing. I had the fish sandwich and it was delicious. My husband has taco and they were tasty as well. We will return whenever we are in the area.i also love the decor!

We really enjoyed this place. We went there during a bar crawl. It was very busy. Service was good. Food was great. I would definitely recommend this place.

I first came here last fall and the food was great. Really delicious entrees and drinks. However, my last visit was pretty lack luster. The server dumped the bottle of water on the table and we poured it ourselves. Okay, that’s fine. The chips came in a bag which is also fine but they do end up all over the table when you open the bag. It’s kind of an awkward way to share chips. I ordered the spicy shrimp enchiladas which I’ve had before and they were outstanding. This time they were kinda gross. Barely any shrimp at all. I mean like one shrimp was cut up inside one enchilada. Also they were not baked at all. They were brought out like tacos and rolled up to look like an enchilada with a sauce on top. The shell was open. I don’t know if that makes sense. It was also lukewarm temp and zero spice. Not how I remember the dish at all. Plantains came on the side and they were cooked perfectly. As a former Miami-an I feel like I can judge plantains. :) they have nice outdoor seating.Sad to see the quality and service went down. I really used to enjoy this place. I don’t think I would return.

Great food. Had the spicy shrimp enchiladas. Tasted good. Not much shrimp though. I'm still going to eat there. Good prices.

The steak provided in the bowl was undercooked, overly chewy, and difficult to cut with a regular knife. The atmosphere was magical, and the service was impeccable. The food presentation was desirable. I'm would definitely go back.

If you follow my reviews, you know that tacos are a big deal to me. So I am always excited to try a new taco place.I've been to Taco and Tequila twice now and I will say that their tacos are quite tasty but not the greatest I've had in the area. But that's ok! Not every taco will be mind blowing but I will never review or recommend a taco place that wasn't good. On my first visit, I had the carne asada, the mahi mahi, and the pastor. All three had good flavor. Yesterday, I ordered the Caesar Salad with grilled chicken. They put a dressing that has some type of spice, likely chipotle. It was a very light meal since I wasn't super hungry at the time. I also ordered one cauliflower taco. It was good and I would order it again next time I visit.The food was good and I would highly recommend a visit if in the area. It has a chill vibe where you can casually hang out with friends or meet for a date. If you are having a mad craving for tacos and you live a few blocks from here, then go for it. Maybe I'll see you around!

The food comes out whenever the server wants the food to come out. If your server is Oliver; change your server, he is the worst server to ever attend a table. Imagine someone who would rather look at their phone for instagram likes rather than look at their tables drink or food levels. “My bad I was late,” continually repeated at every visit. You should not walk away from a table before the entire table has ordered. I entered the restaurant with gift cards. I will never spend my hard earned money here. The worst establishment near old town. Never returning. Horrid. Check my bill to see how much I spent, corporate.

Taco Tuesday $1 off.Food was fine, drink was fine. Enjoyed lettuce wrap option. Service was a bit slow due to being packed but the server was attentive.

This place was located so close to where I stayed. Being a fan of Mexican cuisine, figured I’d give it a try. I arrived and didn’t realize they would be closing soon so I understand my position a bit. It was 9:30pm. I did t realize they closed the kitchen at 9:45.That being said, I ordered the sample with the three dips, a salsa verde. Guacamole and a Queso.. the Queso is hard and doesn’t hold much flavor. The other two were okay. I ordered the spicy bowl. It was okay. The only thing that made it “spicy” was sliced jalapeños. Not much seasoning if any. The service wasn’t the best. Maybe it’s a hit or miss type spot. Maybe I went on a bad day.. it’s just okay to me
