The chicken fajitas are out of this world! Be careful doing "large" carry out orders over the phone because it took over 10 minutes to try to communicate what we wanted (5 items) after talking to two people and when arrived to pick up had to be remade because of errors in the order. If you get double order of fajitas make sure to check because there have been several times where it was way less than that. But otherwise will always look forward to the chance to get food from here!

Service is fast and friendly. Very attentive staff that knows what you need exactly when you need it. Tequila! Is is in the name and they have an amazing selection of premium Tequila.

So, take in a lunch, dinner or make it a great after work happy hour. Bring your amigos too!

The waitress was very soft spoken, and even after asking her to please speak up twice, she made no effort to be understood. The lunch menu is lacking much variety, and portions are small. It is rare that I can eat everything on my plate, but was no problem here. I had a beef burrito with beans and rice. It was plain, not well seasoned, but edible. I did add the salsa from the chips and salsa to it for some added flavor. The waitress never came by to ask if we needed anything. Three stars is probably generous. We won't be back.

I asked the waiter if they had a fish specialty or a bone-in fish and he said yes and pointed at something on the menu and I said "bone in? He said yas.. i said "okay" this is what came out definitely not bone in, definitely not a specialty, definitely NOT a filling dinner...... Wifey had the Fajitas Carretas, which is her norm at ALL Mexican restaurants..... and what she got was half the size of all other Mexican restaurants, guessnits the location. Higher class clientele, higher prices, lower portions. I forgot what taco trio our gueat had but it was equally some food truck street taco plate. No joke our dinner felt like what shoulda been a lunch meal for a dieter. I wish i could say something nice about yheplace, like the drinks were on point, or service top notch, but we don't drink outside of home and well the language barrier was huge here. Decore & Paintings on the wall were nice. Sadly a one and done for this family.

I've been wanting to try this place for a long time and finally got the chance today. It was a…read moregreat experience all around. The ambiance was very pleasant, everything was clean, service was great and, best of all, the food was delicious. I lived in San Diego for 20 years, ate and loved a lot of fish tacos while there so I ordered (grilled) fish tacos with a side of black beans. They did not disappoint, best fish tacos I've had since leaving San Diego. The fish was perfectly cooked, the seasonings were great, the corn tortillas hot and fresh, and they had a nice assortment of sauces. The avocado lime sauce paired perfectly with the fish. I'm not a huge black bean fan but these were really tasty. My wife is a picky eater, not big on Mexican food beyond the traditional seasoned ground beef so she got the traditional soft taco (seasoned ground beef, lettuce, cheese) and she loved it, even the cheese, probably a queso fresco but not sure. Oh, and the basket of tortilla chips served with salsa, they were great too. Still hot from the fryer, they were thick and crispy and the salsa was nice with just a little kick. We love this place and will return whenever we're in the area. I'm hoping to convince them to make me a "surf & turf" type burrito with carne asada and shrimp.

I ordered a sweet tea to drink and it had a lemon on it and that automatically earns a star. For food, I got the number 10 combo which is a chimichanga and enchilada along with rice and beans. And a very surprising cornbread muffin which GETS A STAR. I am an expert at enchiladas and I mean it when I say that was a SOLID cheese enchilada. Gimme a star for that one The chicken inside of the chimichanga was good but a little bland. Cesar our server was amazing, he dapped us all up and he was very wonderful with his energy and enthusiasm. I hope to visit again. BUT before I end this review, I must say something about the hotel because I can't find it on yelp. Mikki at the front desk is so amazing and checked us in and helped me buy candy even when my card got declined! Come here

I honestly don't know how it happened, but shrimp tacos are now my favorite taco. This one knocked my shoes off, it was that good. It was a simple taco, filled with shrimp, avocado slices, cheese and chipotle mango sauce. As most Mexican meals, it came with a side of Rice and Beans. I enjoyed a Regular Margarita and a Peach Margarita. The Peach one was recommended by another diner sitting at the bar. I always sit at the end of the bar and have two Margaritas. One accompanies my chips and salsa and the other goes with my entree. That's my logic and I am sticking with it. The staff is always friendly and helpful and when it is super busy on a Taco Tuesday, they hustle to make sure everyone is happy.

I am a fan of their Quesadillas, especially the Shrimp. They serve ample sides of guacamole and sour cream. The Grilled Shrimp Taco is pretty awesome, too. Another favorite item is the salsa that comes with the complimentary chips. It has a spicy kick and the chips are always served warm. The restaurant is always clean and the tables are never sticky when you are seated. I'm glad that they've expanded the sitting area with a covered patio. My last couple of visits, the servers have been primarily female and to be honest they're not as attentive as the male servers. Their service is good, it's just that the men are more friendly and attentive.
