OMG! This place was absolutely amazing. It was so good my partner left a review at the restaurant too. The atmosphere was perfect, it's located in a shopping mall area, very family friendly, low on local merchants so the harassment is low. High on security detail. The food and beverage was so amazing, that my spouse got jealous because I was making orgasmic facials expressions. The pricing is more than reasonable that you would find in the area. Resort or high tourist areas pricing is high, but here the pricing was great. The staffing was accommodating and ensuring to get you seated quickly. For Covid protocols, they have each guest sanitize their hands and display temps before entering. On this night we had a live musician play while we dine. I would definitely recommend this place if you love Mexican dishes. read more

Finally found THE place! I kept trying different restaurants here in Cancun and I can say with confidence that I've found the best one!! It's sooo good, the kind of good that if the food fell on the table I would pick it back up and eat it. Prime location in plaza la isla, right by the harbor and across from hooters. Nice servers and great food! The best tacos I've had in Mexico so far. I ordered the sirloin steak taco platter and chicken nachos. Drink wise we ordered the rice water and strawberry smoothie, been having a little mucho alcohol, wanted a great. Everything was so tasty. If I had to be forcefully pick one thing that could improve- probably the chicken was just a tiny bit too salty for me. Oh and the wifi Durant work right. But everything else was perfect, guacamole was fresh on point. The meats were very juicy and tender, with nice flavors. Would definitely come back to try other dishes! read more

Owner was hands on. Very friendly staff. Outstanding margaritas Duo de chiles with Pibil was incredible. One of the best version of Chile Rellenos I have ever had. read more

We left our resort to explore La Isla shopping mall and had a craving for... Hooters. Yes, we came all the way to Mexico because we wanted to eat Hooters. While walking towards Hooters, the hostess greeted us with menus and we decided to try this restaurant instead. The restaurant is right in front of the marina so that was a nice view. We were feeling hot so the server brought two fans to place next to our table, which was a nice gesture. There's have a ton of different tequilas and margaritas as well as a wide variety of taco meats, in addition to other Mexican dishes such as enchiladas and burritos. I ordered the chorizo (3 tacos) and it was flavorful and I was full after two tacos, but there weren't enough toppings (no radish, boo!) on top. I liked all of the different sauces that were provided, and they were quick to provide us with additional sauces. Since it was a chain, it didn't feel as authentic as other Mexican taco joints. FYI: When paying with credit card, they'll bring the machine to you. read more

My parents and I ended up coming her twice during our week long stay in Cancun. I got the traditional pastor tacos and watermelon margarita both times. My parents had the steak fajitas and strawberry margarita. The churros were also top notch! Great and friendly service. Pretty view to watch the sunset. read more

Figured might as well try it out I don't think it was bad but I also don't think it was great. To me very average food I'm from Los Angeles so maybe my taco standards are really high but I don't think these are all that great. Flavor was underwhelming and salsas were okay. Overall not a bad idea to eat at for a quick casual bite. read more

Came to Cancun and wanted tacos and this place came through. You won't be disappointed. Ordered the steak tacos and it was a burst of flavor, tenderness and juicyness. Two free drinks came with my meal and they tasted great. A must to dine when in Cancun. The view is also amazing. read more

This place was okay. Located directly across from Hooters which was much more lively. Tacos y tequila hostess are literally trying to pull in patrons in their attempt to compete for business with a restaurant just like it next door who's hostesses are doing the exact same thing. The struggle is real! Their focus and known for their wide selection in tequila and perhaps do their tequila better then their food. The overall food experience... bar food at best. The service was okay. At the end our server was no place to be found. After sitting for about 10 minutes and with a server and a hostess trying to find our server he came running back to our table. He handed us our check and stated that the tip was not included. After giving him the cash to pay, he never returned with my change. If your looking for a good tequila place try Tacos y Tequila. read more

Food & drinks were great! Casual dining and conveniently located at La Isla shopping center. We liked that it faced the lagoon. A lady making fresh tortillas right in the restaurant added to the authenticity of tortillas. Delicious! Sever Eric was friendly and very accommodating. Kids menu available. read more

Very good food, and drinks. Service good. Staff very attentive. Great location for after shopping

A sad, albeit inexpensive, option for dinner and drinks in a city that boasts so many amazing alternatives... My wife and I had high hopes for this convenient-looking taqueria with (at the time) so many convincing reviews. Unfortunately- it did not deliver. We started our experience with a game of "hide and go seek," to find even the flavor of tequila in our "premium" margaritas, but it was ultimately no where to be found. Next, we sampled an appetizer of chips & guacamole. The majority of our chips were burnt beyond the point of any decent taste. Hoping to offset the damage, we sampled the guacamole only to find it bland and poorly constructed, with several large pieces of unseasoned avocado hiding beneath a thin layer of bland, green mush. Moving onto their specialty - we ordered a platter of eight tacos (featuring shrimp, fish, beef and pork). Each filling was nested on a single, paper-thin tortilla that seemed virtually incapable of standing up to the residual grease from its contents. The food was bland and flavorless. If I did go back, it would only be to try and recover the cost of the heartburn medication I needed several hours later. Save your time and money. There are countless alternatives here in beautiful Cancun. read more

Tacos are not as good as their picture. They didn't even bother putting onion & cilantro and didn't bring even though I asked for it. Yet, they will stress that the tip is not included. Yeah, first deserve it- very dry and tasteless tacos, valid for all in the pastor sampler. read more

Great service, amazing prices, and the food is even better. Fresh tortillas made right in front of you as you enter, so you know the quality is impeccable! read more

Went there with my wife, brother and uncles. We were walking around and decided to stop here to eat. We had been out all day and we were hungry so we just picked a place and sat down. The ambiance was fun, lights and music but not too loud so you can still enjoy a conversation with the entire table. We all shared chips and salsa, which was cool because they bring out 6 different types of salsa. The down side was the chips were cooked way too long because they were very hard. I ordered a rum and coke which came out fine. Next, we all ordered a different taco platter. I got the traditional (pork, house sauce, cheese on a tortilla) with a side of sauteed chiles. They only came with one corn tortilla each (not being picky about that just saying) they were pretty good. As far as service goes, it wasn't bad but it was slow. Everyone was real friendly but we waited for a while. I would go back if someone else wanted to try it but I wouldn't bring it up in a conversation. read more

Service was good, food was decent. -The free chips were stale and challenging to eat. -The steak in the fajitas were try but overall still okay. -The cheese empanadas were missing the cheese and needed to be reordered. -Their catrina salad with skirt steak was delicious. -The churros with warm chocolate was tasty. read more

Love this place! Go here every time we're in town. Great service , fresh homemade corn tortillas (they make them in front of you) and awesome Margaritas . Get the chicken tacos, perfectly marinated and the mango margarita. read more

Ate there since we were shopping in the area. I don't know how much my roommates enjoyed their food but their Stuffed Chile Duo was super delicious and don't be afraid of the spiciness level. Because it's cooked it really tuned down the hot but still has a slight spicy kick! read more

Good Mexican food in the hotel zone. Cozy place on the water. Decent service. Quality margs. Wonderful mole.

Been here too many times to count! Always a great time - good service, good solid food, good price and good location. You won't be disappointed! read more

Look, i dont want to be rude but this was the worst food ive had in Mexico. The price was very high for the low quality of food. You can find better anywhere but here. Give the local places a try for real Mexican cuisine. My roomate had major explosive diarrhea on his way out and he got sick shortly after. He is still suffering mentally and emotionally and is having trouble coping. On the bright side, they had UFC on the tv so that was kind of interesting. read more

We ate here several times during our stay in Cancun as it was a great lunch option outside of our resort (and resort prices). Their pastor tacos are fantastic, with the pollo (chicken) being our favorite. That says a lot because honestly chicken is rarely our favorite when presented with the meat selection they have. Recommend trying their pastor sampler to see which you like. Great drinks too. Much better here than the Taco Grille that's also in the mall. read more

Food is good, service is awesome and very affordable prices. Come try out their tacos I truly recommend this location. The service is very attentive to your table in the place that's what I loved about this place. read more

Good food, great drinks, great service, amazing sunset view. Less aggressive staff then the neighboring restaurants.

Below average place. Went here because of proximity to my hotel. The tacos were average. They were not bad; but, not great either. The alcoholic drinks were weak!! Everyone in my party, 8 people, had the large Margaritas and everyone thought they were weak. My mom who is a tiny lady didn't even get a slight buzz. Totally weak drinks. We also had nachos and empanadas. They were below average. Service was OK. But, we asked for water when we arrived and it never came. We walked a fair distance and were a little thirsty. Also, they were stingy with the chips. When we asked for more chips they tried to tell us you only get two small baskets for 8 people. Finally, because our food took a little while to come; our waiter got us some extra chips. Also, the lack of water sucked because some of the salsas were spicy and without water no one wanted to eat them. I will not visit this place again on my vacation. read more

Decent restaurant but not by favorite. Fun atmosphere (a little loud though) and it's cool to watch them make home made corn tortillas right in front of you. Personally I was a fan of the appetizers more than the entrees. Make sure to try the chiccaron de queso and queso de cazuela natural if you like cheese! Both are absolutely delicious. I've never seen anything like the chiccaron de queso anywhere else. The chips come with a variety of salsas with varying degrees of spice which was cool to try and the margaritas are large and also very delicious. The entrees were just ok. Our table got some burritos, fajitas, and tacos and all of them, in my opinion, were just ok. There wasn't much to the tacos, just meat and onions basically. I would recommend coming here for a snack or just some quick appetizers instead of a full dinner. There are other Mexican places not too far away that are better. read more

Taco & Tequila survives mainly on its close proximity to Cancun's hotel zone and overpriced, weak alcoholic drinks. It's food is average at best. Since we were staying at the Westin directly across the street from the shopping mall and Taco & Tequila by default, this place was quite popular to come to for drinks while watching the sun set over the lagoon. Taco & Tequila has a large, covered patio with lots of box fans constantly blowing and a good, open view of the lagoon (its main selling point). It has lots of margaritas and other liquor based beverages on its menu, plus a two-for-one happy hour special. The food menu consists of tacos, quesadillas, burritos, fajitas, guacamole and cheese dips, etc. Everything you'd expect at a "Mexican" restaurant. The times we went, we usually only got snack-y appetizers. My boyfriend and I got alcohol - I had the Caribbean daquiri and he had the house margarita - both were too weak and very sugary. We also got the chorizo queso with homemade flour tortillas and a chicken quesadilla. The chorizo was very difficult to scoop up because the cheese was so thick and gooey and the chorizo (very oily) seemed almost like it had just been sprinkled on top of the melted cheese as an afterthought. The quesadilla was better, but really, how do you mess that up, it's so basic? And that's really all I can say about Taco & Tequila: great location, very ho-hum everything else. read more

Tacos y Tequila is located smack dab in the middle of the restaurants in La Isla shopping mall. It's main unique draw is the ladies that handmake the corn tortillas as you're walking in. They lured us in with the promise of free curaçao drinks, and of course it worked. The drinks were delicious and I'm pretty convinced instead of salt there was blue fun dip on the rim, which was a delightful touch! As soon as you are seated, you get soup. It looked questionable, but as soon as we added cilantro, onion, jalapeño and lime, it was super! My mouth is watering thinking about it! We ordered the nachos after seeing some others around us getting it and the mixed taco platter. The nachos were packed with ingredients! They definitely didn't skimp; however the chips were chewy. It tasted like they had been fried a few times too many, so steer clear of that. The mixed taco platter was pretty darn good though. For 225 pesos you get 7 tacos (to share) and each a different flavor. The cactus taco was our least favorite, but most likely it's an acquired taste. The tacos also come with a side, we picked guacamole, but there are beans, more cactus, and rice options as well. Just a note, the picture looks like there is cheese on the tacos, but it is pineapple. You must pay an addition $125 pesos for cheese on the tacos. The prices are decent, and the food is good. But the reason they got 3 stars is those darn chewy chips. It made my almost delicious nacho dish a waste. Other than that, the service and people are fantastic! read more

Danny was an awesome server. So many different types of tacos. Margaritas were great for the price.

So amazing. Tequila shots with tomato chaser scared me but was so good! Steak tacos with guacamole 10/10

Easy, casual place. Service was fine. Food was fine. Tortilla chips were good. Freshly friend and came with a ton of sauces. Sauces were from no heat to spicy. I loved the spicy one but too hot for my friend. The second hottest also good. Typical avocado salsa with some good heat. The tacos were good but nothing to write home about. I'm from LA so I may be jaded. We have amazing tacos all over so my standards are high. read more

This place was so promising. It was in a great location with great atmosphere and a really solid menu. Too bad that menu looked more appetizing in pictures. Tacos and Tequila lured us in with a promise of great tacos. I bypassed a taco stand for this, the hugest mistake of my life. I quickly decided on a variety of Tacos al pastor, watermelon margarita, and churros. My sister did the same with the exception of her flan. The tacos for me were just ok definitely not the best and everything else was meh. For this price point you definitely expect much more. It is really had to get the dessert wrong but this place manage to disappoint. If this is your only dining choice, you should definitely try it but it will just be meh. read more
