Parking was great.  The inside was clean. The customer service was good. Their menu has a wide variety of options. The prices were kind of up there for me initially. However, once I got my food, I was completely satisfied. The salsa was amazing; I mean, the flavor was beyond delicious. I ordered the birra tacos; they were small, but they were delicious. I was truly impressed with my lunch and am happy to have a new place to dine.

A Heartbreaking Decline: From Goose Creek's Best to Just Another Average Joint…read more For years, Blue Tequila was my undisputed #1 restaurant in Goose Creek. It used to be a genuinely fantastic dining experience--the kind of place where the food was consistently incredible, the portions were generously overflowing, and the flavors were truly amazing. Paired with top-tier service, it was a local staple. I clearly remember weekends where there would be a line of people out the door just waiting to get inside. Unfortunately, that golden era is over. Since falling under new management, the entire experience has plummeted from fantastic to completely average. The shift is painfully obvious across the board: prices have sharply gone up, while the plate sizes have noticeably shrunk. Worse still, the food simply does not taste as good as it used to. The rich, authentic flavors that made their dishes so special seem to have completely disappeared from the kitchen. The dining room reflects this sharp decline. Where there used to be a packed, vibrant house, it's now a miracle if you see three or four tables being served during what should be peak hours. It is incredibly frustrating to watch another beloved restaurant fall into mediocrity, seemingly sacrificing quality, flavor, and portion sizes just to squeeze out higher profit margins through lesser expenses. After years of unwavering loyalty, it breaks my heart to say it, but I will never go back again.

I got the fajita steak platter. It comes with onions, peppers, and a roasted chili pepper, the tortillas she serves you are hot and in a little container it also comes with some rice, guac, lettuce, and limes, and then they have a chips and salsa bar, which has a green, medium, and a hot salsa along with some cilantro, limes, and pico de gallo. You have to come and eat here. The food is absolutely amazing the inside it's giving a feeling of wild West meets modern Day Mexican. I had a margarita and oh my God it's so strong and my dad had a beer. They cook on my steak fajitas is absolutely perfect. There is a great mix of fatty pieces versus medium pieces and a pair extremely well with the hot sauce from the salsa bar.

It definitely has a more upscale feel than most Mexican restaurants I've been to. It's a bit pricey, but honestly, the complimentary salsa bar with perfectly crispy tortilla chips is worth it. I don't know what they put in that green sauce, but I kept going back for more. And yes, another refill of chips, please! I had the chicken fajitas as my main entrée, and that chicken... easily some of the best I've ever had. It was incredibly moist, loaded with flavor, and perfectly cooked. I also got to try the quail from the JJ, and that was definitely the star of the show. So flavorful. I could eat about 10 or more of the quails. Great atmosphere, delicious food, and plenty of reasons to return. Highly recommend!

The waitress took our order as soon as we walked in. She brought out chips and individual cups of salsa for each of us (the salsa was excellent with just the right amount of heat).

Food was great and authentic. The Cubana Torta is another thing in itself! Huge, with hot dogs sticking out the side and the kitchen sink ingredients on the inside. Freddie got half of it down and packed up the other half to take home to his wife. It's a cultural experience trying to eat the whole thing yourself. Since the last time I was here they have added a very nice outdoor covered area to the left of the restaurant...nicely decorated and a perfect place to enjoy Mexican food weather permitting!!! We'll definitely go back.

Families, dates or just team gatherings fill the room along with the beautiful bright murals on the walls. The staff is super attentive and the service is absolutely exceptional. The pork belly chicharones were definitely the star of my meal. Fried perfectly and a good ratio of fat to lean meat, it was a 10/10. Hit it with some fresh lime juice and it sets it off! The esquites and carne asada taco were a miss for me. The esquites lacked depth of flavor, tasted like they just had canned corn that was warmed up and topped with condiments. Not terrible but again, nothing special. The carne asada taco was tough, literally and figuratively. It wasn't seasoned and tasted like it had been sitting for a while. This is still a go to spot...not pictured are the AMAZING soups they make.
