Violetta made some banging guacamole. My friend had had to piss and she wait on him to make guacamole, which was very nice of her. Caela was our server she was very helpful & appreciate her. read more

Another great experience dining out for Mexican food. The servers are amazing, the atmosphere is lively and festive, and the food and drinks are the best! I forgot to take pictures of our tacos, was too hungry to remember but the margs and my spicy wife I did manage to capture read more

Pineapple Tequila - We take our taco and tequila nights seriously and Pineapple is our fix! - Mexican Near Me - Venice, Florida

We have eaten here VERY OFTEN until today. The crowds are small these summer days. The reason could be the blaring noise the employee called "Spanish music". It is the loudest compilation of bullshit similar crap music that sounds like Cher and her synthesizer designed to make you chew fast and get the hell out uncomfortably quick with the synthesizer and same beat in each piece. We like REAL Mexican music and even Mariachi. If you like an uncomfortable experience this might be for you. If you wanted a meal worth chewing, you came to the wrong place. Get out! PS we loved the staff until they missed having our back today. We did tip over 30% and enjoyed our time with you. Yes, we were here on your very first opening Day One and several times a week since. You have lost us!!! We were your easiest customers to profit from especially in the off season as we are not snowbirds and support the team in the slow summers. The problem is all mine of course because I come here too often. That, I can do something about. I can't take it anymore! Looped SYNTHESIZER MEXICAN MUSIC WITH A STUPID LIMPING DONKEY TYPE BEAT IS AGAINST THE LAW IN FLORIDA! Badump bom bom! Badump bom bom! Badump bom bom! Every fucking song! Please stop playing the SAME ridiculous music and try to rotate some good Mexican music into the playlist. There are millions of better choices that would add nicely to your establishment. Gringo out! read more

This was our second time visiting Pineapple Tequila and we were really looking forward to it. While we waited for our table, a few of us sat at the bar and ordered margaritas. They were good, but we did notice they were being poured from a pre-made mix rather than made fresh. Once we were seated, we were immediately given chips and salsa, which were very tasty and a great way to start the meal. For dinner we ordered the birria tacos, steak fajitas, and the dinner served in the pineapple. Everything came out hot, fresh, and delicious. The flavors were great and the portions were very satisfying. We ordered another round of margaritas at the table and asked if they could be made fresh since the ones at the bar were from a mix. When they arrived, they tasted very weak, almost like there was no alcohol in them. We asked if a little tequila could be added, but we were told all of their margaritas are pre-mixed and we would have to pay extra for additional tequila. Overall, the food was excellent and definitely the highlight of the visit. However, the margarita situation was a little disappointing, especially since we were hoping for freshly made drinks. We would still come back for the food, but hope they consider offering freshly made margaritas in the future. read more

Our favorite Tex-Mex place in the area! Coming from Texas it's not always easy finding good Tex-Mex but this place consistently hits the spot. The chips and salsa is what I come here for :)! The interior is decorated super cute. Very cool and fun vibe. Lots of tv's to watch sports. Booths are comfortable and they do have tables to sit as well. Their lunch menu is great and has a long time frame than most restaurants. The full menu has a huge selection and the food is always very good in flavor. They also have a full bar. Def a fave! read more

What an amazing space. Friendly staff hustling to take care of a very busy restaurant. Massive menu for both cocktails and food items, I was overwhelmed. Decided on a Tequila Sunrise of sorts (passion fruit and orange juice)....perfection. For dinner I had the Pollo Poblano (grilled chicken and sliced poblano with 3 tortillas. So good. Rice and beans included. This would be my go to meal for sure. Prices are a bit high but the servings are massive, so easily two meals. Just go! read more

By far one of my favorite Mexican cuisine restaurants. The chicken quesadilla lite was my favorite and the drinks were great!

Venice offers plenty of Italian restaurants, but when it comes to Mexican food, the options are much more limited. That's why Pineapple Tequila is a welcome alternative. I've eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. While waiting for your meal, you can snack on complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa has a good flavor, though I personally prefer a chunkier version. On this visit, I ordered the Enchiladas Marias--three ground beef enchiladas served with rice, beans, and a crema-topped salad. While my preference is shredded beef, their ground beef enchiladas were flavorful, served hot, and clearly made with fresh ingredients. Don't miss the happy hour--12 oz margaritas are a great value at just $5. The pineapple-themed decor is appealing , and the restaurant has a comfortable atmosphere with a large bar area. Located in a strip mall, it's easy to find parking. If you're in Venice and craving Mexican food, give Pineapple Tequila a try--it's my go-to spot! read more

A good place to go for your south of the border food stuff. In short the decor is typical of Mexican establishments. Ambience is moderate, a pleasant smell of the kitchen seeps in. Wait staff scurrying to tables and booths. Food is consistently well prepared and the menu is Latan oriented. A full bar is available featuring Margaritas. I chose my favorite Carne Asarda and wife A Borrito, no complaints. Recommend you give them a visit read more

We got the nachos fajitas and they were absolutely delicious. Seems pricey but you get a ton on your plate, just wouldn't recommend getting these to go instead of eating at table, when we ordered these to go we seemingly got less. read more

In Florida on vacation. A buddy lives in the area ... I was looking for a margarita and some delicious Mexican food! This place has it! We were seated promptly and chips and salsa kept flowing. Table side guacamole was super delicious a must order if you are into that sort of thing. Our beverages were topped off if they got low and overall everything was fast! The portion was huge and the food was delicious!. The pollo loco was loaded with grilled onions and it was served with a cheese smothering was decadent! The server brought out my margarita....the best!!! Order one... you can thank me later if you try it! Its a must stop if in the area in the future. Thank you for being awesome!

What a great lunch special spot! Will have to come back for dinner and "sample" some of their world famous margaritas. Very fun decor, friendly/prompt service, extensive menu. Great taco salad with shredded chicken (loaded with chicken!) and my friend had a special order of chicken and cheesy rice. They were more than happy to accommodate! read more

I was pleasantly surprised after all the negative reviews after opening. (I know, a long time ago). We were seated immediately (on a Friday about 5:30). Angel was our server. We sat for about 10 minutes before being offered drinks, but after that all went smooth. The drinks, dinner and Handmade guacamole was great! Pricing was also very reasonable. We will return! read more

The worst service ever. Delivered someone else's order. Tried calling them but they do not answer run away from this restaurant

Pineapple Tequila - $5 margarita! - Mexican Near Me - Venice, Florida

I ate here on a whim when tasked with finding a place for lunch that would have quick service. It was a Friday "in season" (If you know what that means-but is that even anymore? It doesn't feel like it) On that particular visit I very much enjoyed my Huevos Rancheros. Service was super prompt and courteous and the food was delicious. The chips and salsa given before the meal tasted fresh and very flavorful as well. The lunch special portions were quite generous which was nice. On a subsequent visit I enjoyed the chalupa lunch. We had prompt and courteous service from Jesus. Thank you, for delivering a great atmosphere, delicious food, and awesome service, Pineapple Tequila! I will return. read more

Raspberry margarita - Meh. Skip. Skinny margarita - Surprisingly better flavor than the regular. Wonderfully balanced. Margarita with Corona - Good. On the sweeter side but not too sweet. Salsa - Good! Not overly chunky or watery. Great blend of flavors. 4 stars. Mariam's burrito - it was...okay. Ham was an interesting addition. (Wouldn't order again) Blue tequila Fajita - not too bad but nothing special. Vegetarian fajitas - 4 stars. Better with the salsa. Very filling and I have plenty of left overs! Beef enchilada - YES! There we go. Great flavor and surprisingly on the sweeter side but tasty. Mar y Mar - scallops were good but fish was dry. Service was exceedingly slow and inattentive. Been here twice now. When it's not busy service is too laggy and distracted; when it's busy service is non existant. This place looks fun and inviting, and while they give you very good sized portions, items are a hit and miss and service was poor. I'll take Mi Pueblo over here any day! read more

My parents, brother and I came to this location Saturday night. We have been here before and have always enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. However, on this occasion we were extremely disappointed in the quality of the service we received and the run around explanations. When we arrived, the restaurant was very busy however we were seated pretty much right away. After being seated, we were greeted by the server who was very kind. He did share with us that he was new, which was just fine. After giving us a few minutes to review the menu and enjoy some chips and salsa he took our orders. It was 5:30pm. Around 6 PM we were talking amongst ourselves and started to wonder where our food was. The waiter casually mentioned it would be about 15 more minutes. It had been busier when we first walked in, but at this time, many tables had cleared out, and it was not as busy. About 615 the table next to us that had been seated after us was receiving their food. At this point, we were getting a little agitated. We asked the Manager what was going on. She said she would check, the waiter at this point had come around and offered more chips and salsa "on him". Kind of odd since it is something that is complementary. Anyway, he was very polite. 6:30pm rolls around and at this point we had ordered 1 hour prior and I am not exaggerating. The restaurant is welcome to pull up the security camera footage to review this. When we finally got the manager to the table, she gave us some runaround ridiculous story that I don't even remember. However, in reality, if she had just told us the truth that our waiter had inadvertently forgotten to put in our order when he took it at least that would have been a realistic explanation and perhaps they could have offered to comp one or two of our meals for the inconvenience. This did not happen. I looked at the manager and in a very calm tone, said hey we'll take the Bill for the two drinks. My parents ordered which were a Coke and a ginger ale as my brother and I had water and I would pay for that and we were just going to go ahead and go because we were tired of waiting and felt like we were being given the runaround. The manager said OK don't worry about the drinks. We politely got up and left. We were told 15 more minutes the first time we asked about our food and now here we were 30 minutes after asking and an hour after giving our order! Very disappointed. read more

Free fresh chips and salsa, $9 patron margaritas mon/weds/thurs. The chicken soup is impeccable. This place has an obvious pineapple theme with pretty sweet art and decor throughout the restaurant. For dinner I had the birria tacos. Highly recommend. I've also got the fajitas here and everything has been great. Very good service too. read more

As you enter the restaurant, you will be amazed at the cultural ambiance that is reflected in the welcoming environment, pleasant servers and vast menu options. I've personally tried Fish Taco's, Chicken Chimichanga's and Steak Fajita's. My friends rave about the margaritas! Their yummy homemade salsa borders on addictive! Never have I been disappointed. Among the several Mexican Restaurants in Venice, this one ranks at the very top along with another a short drive up the road. read more

We decided to eat here after reading this is where the locals go to eat. We ordered the molcajete and the chicken enchiladas which were okay. The guacamole is made right in front of you and is very good. Service wise it was very slow and even though our order was placed at the same time we had to wait 10-15 minutes when other plates were served. It's a step up from a cantina but not an amazing restaurant read more
