Wonderful surprise! Just wandered in, sat at the bar, and enjoyed some terrific margaritas and tacos. The servers and manager were extremely friendly and considerate. We'll be back.

Best Mexican on the island! The margaritas are killer (and I'm a margarita snob). All the food was amazing. Go ahead and order some wings while you're there just because they're BOMB. Service was great, DJ took very good care of us. Kids had a great time playing outside by the fountain after dinner. New owners since last summer, so old reviews don't apply. Looks like they've redone all menus and renovated the inside. Much brighter and tastier now!

This place was very much hyped up by several friends. The place looks super cool and has a great vibe. The service was a mixed bag. I visited twice over 4 days. The first visit service was wonderful. The second visit it was okay. Not saying how just that it was a different experience. As far as food my first visit the mahi-mahi burrito was very tasty, I found it odd the side was chips and salsa since that was already on the table. Second visit I got the steak and blue cheese quesadilla which was very good. We had a large group on my second visit and half complained later that their food was either just warm or getting cold. I didn't have this issue, mine was great. We did have 13 people in our party so depending on the kitchen staff this may have been just an issue of timing but still want to mention it. Would I be back, yes. I would love to try some of their drinks. But didn't want to drink and drive.

A group of us were in a bike race today & since it's Cinco de Mayo, we opted for a post-race lunch of tacos. The service was great. Many ordered margaritas but couldn't finish them. They said it was pure tequila & way, way too strong. I ordered 2 tacos. The first was a carnita taco that was delicious. It had pickled onions, carnitas, cream, cotija, guacamole, etc. The taste was excellent but it was small for sure & cost $6. The other was a grilled shrimp taco. This was not good because one of the shrimp in the taco had gone bad & made me gag. I had to spit it out into my napkin. It too cost $6. If I return to Hilton Head I'll likely eat somewhere else.

Classic Queso Dip with chips and salsa

Server was wonderful. Food was delicious, but we all left so full. Prices were very good especially the Sunday brunch specials. We started off with Churro Bite Appetizers and sone quest dip with our tortilla chips. My husband had the Breakfast Fajita Quesadilla and I had the Juevos Rancheros. Our friends had the breakfast burrito and the Holy Taco Salad. Everything was really good.

Ask the Community - Holy Tequila Mexican Kitchen

Do you still take reservations on Resy or Yelp or Open Table?

Jane , All reservations now run through or website

Are you dog friendly?

We sure are

Is there a kids menu?

We do have a kids menu just for them

Are the beans and rice vegetarian or made with animal broth or lard?

Our server told me that the beans served as part of the "rice and beans" side has bacon in them. We had already eaten some refried beans so I didn't even want to ask if they had meat too! :-/

Chow Daddy's - the name would suggest an old school barbeque joint or maybe a diner; but it is…read moreneither. Hilton Head Island has seen some changes in food offerings in the last decade, but fresh and new American fusion isn't common. Enter Chow Daddy's. With two locations (the other in Bluffton) we hit this one on Hilton Head. It's a risky place to put a restaurant, buried in the back plaza of a nondescript but high-end shopping center deeeep in the wooded neighborhoods of the island's Southern tip. If you're staying elsewhere on the island, you'll find you have to pay a small fee to access Sea Pines but many people do to get to the Salty Dog Cafe as well. While it may not get a lot of visibility, it is definitely worth seeking out for the very good Latin American cuisine being offered. Out party of five arrived on an August Friday evening after making reservations and were impressed with the cleanliness and upscale minimalist vibe. Dark booths and Edison-style lighting are offset by the daylight let in by picture windows. There is outside seating in the patio (very pleasant in the shade) and a small bar open off the host area. Inside seating is large enough for bigger parties of 6-8. Definitely not a post-beach day place, but perfect for date night, or more dressy family dinner out. Service was quick and talkative; we enjoy chatting beyond food with out severs which makes the experience even better. Apps and mains were delivered quickly with good presentation. We started with the fine fresh corn dip - extra tortillas were helpful to get the last bits. Mains included a fresh and well pattied cheesburger, mix-n-match tacos and two specialty bowls - cajun shrimp with spicy fine fat prawns and an Ahi-tuna poke style bowl. The rice in both was excellent and the portions were perfect. I'll try to un-hide this hidden star with this review and encourage you to seek it out if you live on "HHi" or make your next visit. Rare 5 star from us.

Maaaaan, I came here YEARS ago (try almost 11, if my photo on FB is to be believed) before I was…read moreYelping regularly, but I saw this restaurant pop up on a Yelp list I was reading the other day and it unlocked the deeply-buried memory of my visit here and I thought...might as well chronicle that memory with a quick review! I came here with a bunch of friends from my undergraduate research lab while we were in Hilton Head presenting at a conference. We had rented a condo to all stay together and this place was in walking distance, so we headed over. I don't remember what all everyone else got to eat, or much about the service, but I do remember it was a total vibe. Beachy decorations that were fun but still classy and not too kitschy, warm lighting, good music. I ordered an item probably not even on their menu anymore: pulled barbeque chicken on a hunk of spicy cornbread with a side salad. I checked online and it's nowhere to be found, but it slapped at the time, and from pictures it seems like you can still maybe order their spicy cornbread at least, which was the best part! It had a great cakey texture and some legit heat. The chicken was succulent and tender and the smokiness paired well with the salad. It seems Chow Daddy's enjoyed a decade of success after my visit so long ago. I hope the temporary closure listed on the Yelp page doesn't turn into a permanent one. It was a pleasant surprise to be reminded of this visit and my time with friends.

Great patio area and surrounded by big boats and water inlet. The wait wasn't Terrible and the server had great people skills and very friendly. Now to the food. So for me and Mexican food the biggest test is the chips and salsa. Chips were thick and very crispy so I was excited. The salsa was a bust. Very lacking, not terrible but wanted it to be so good. We decided to order the queso to try it. Very cheesy almost too much cheese flavor that hid a lot of the other flavors. I got the El Presidente and it was very good. The refried beans had loaded flavor. The rice was average but over all very good. The hard shell taco was the best part of it. The girls got the sizzling fajitas and they were fresh and had tons of packed flavor. I ate their leftovers. My wife ate the chicken chimichanga. It was ok but chicken was bland. The cheese queso was also over it which we didn't like very much because the over powering melted cheese flavoring. The alcohol drinks were very good and strong. Worth the money which is rare in restaurants. Overall rating would a 3.8 out of 5 star but we can't give ratings other than whole stars.
