    Chips and salsa (pick the green one)
    Jay M.

    This place always hits. Love coming here for some good authentic Mexican food. I'm Mexican so I approve :) Great flavors, Very clean and friendly staff. Great customer service. Very welcoming and attentive, They start with chips and salsa, I recommend the green salsa, packs a lot of Mexican style cultural flavor. And the water cups are so cold ! Love that. Love iced water . Come here for iced water and a to go water is a plus, I ordered the mole enchiladas . I'm a mole freak. That is our Mexican condiment , and this choice is gold. Try this place out if you're in menifee , highly recommend. Plenty of seating and parking and TV and bars, You can pay tap or cash. Worth it, I will definitely be coming back,

    Our new favorite spot in Menifee Watching Argentina win It was super load here But the drinks were good and food We all had a great time and are server was so sweet too. She was excellent too. Well go again to enjoy a full happy hour and dinner Music was good inside too

    Tacos & Tequila has THE best salsa and chips! My husband and I are absolutely obsessed with their salsa. Not to mention, the food and drinks are delicious! I've been here a few times, so I felt it was finally time to leave an honest review. The customer service is honestly some of the best I've experienced. I recently needed a restaurant to accommodate a large party last minute for my daughter's birthday dinner, and they were so willing to help and had the best attitude throughout the entire process. My family and friends who joined us agreed that the customer service was exceptional! I've tried several dishes here, and I can honestly say the food is fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The meats are seasoned perfectly, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. I highly recommend Tacos & Tequila to anyone looking to have a great time, listen to good music, and enjoy delicious food and drinks in a fun atmosphere!

    Taco Tuesday?? Say less! Tacos & Tequila is a great spot for a chill time with a fun atmosphere. They have so many options on the menu that it's honestly hard to choose. Their taco happy hour is where it's at, in my opinion good portions and solid flavor. That said, they could use a bit more of a "wow" factor to really stand out. One standout, though, was their camarones a la diablo absolutely delicious with a smoky, spicy flavor. I've never had them prepared like this before; usually it's just pure heat, but this had a depth that really elevated the dish! Our bartender/server was great very attentive throughout our visit, which definitely elevated the experience. The chips and salsa were a highlight! Both salsas were flavorful and definitely a hit. The michelada could use a bit more seasoning and personality. As for drinks, the Tamarindo margarita was tasty, but it felt a bit light on the alcohol or maybe just very well masked. Not that I was looking for something super strong, but a little more presence would have been nice (and I'm a lightweight, so that says something!). Parking is easy with plenty of space available. I'd recommend making a reservation if you're not planning to sit at the bar, since it's clearly a popular spot

    Amazing food and excellent service provided by Diana. Fast, friendly and quick food to our table. Great place to head to after golf.

    We enjoyed our first dining experience there. Not your typical Mexican restaurant. Giving eclectic vibes. Dark interior. Food was good. We had empanada's, shrimp taco, and blackened fish taco. Blackened fish was spicy. Margaritas were good and strong. The only thing they could improve on is pushing back the hostess stand. It's too close to the door.

    Tacos & Tequila did not disappoint! Our service from Diana was excellent. She was incredibly attentive, provided great recommendations, and even acted as our photographer between course, she is amazing! The food recommendations were spot on. I tried my friend's octopus tacos for the first time; they were very tender, though a little salty for my taste. The ribeye guacamole was delicious and refreshing, and the ribeye appetizer was really good, seasoned to perfection and juicy. The carne asada tacos were also very tasty. From the bar we ordered Lalo shots, & the cucumber margarita which was my favorite, as it was perfectly refreshing. I was not personally a fan of the black widow margarita. It's supposed to be a top seller, not my preference. The ambiance was cool, and the music really added to the vibe. The manager, Gustavo, checked on us at the end of the meal, and we had nothing but great things to say. We made sure to tell him that Diana deserves a raise!

    Burnt Beans, Old Rice & Cheese Burrito (needed sustenance and ate half out of hunger not enjoyment)
    Buddy N.

    Dined in for Two, we ordered: Rolled Taquitos, Carne Asada Quesadilla, and a Bean, Cheese and Rice Burrito (ordered off the menu). And two soft drinks. First off, I really don't understand all the great reviews about his place, they're the reason we visited. The Hostess was awkward and visibly upset when we asked for a booth when she suggested we eat next to a hot window. We were sat at a booth right next to the unisex bathroom and kept getting gusts of stinky poop smell. The ambience is very annoying, it seems as if they are confused about what kind of restaurant they want to be. Is it a Sports Bar? Fancy Mexican Restaurant? Night Club? The menu makes you believe it's a Fancy Mexican Restaurant, all the while the tv's by the bar play sports games and loud annoying music over the sound system makes you believe it's a Sports Bar/Night club. Now the food...the food is awful. The end. (Well, what we ordered anyway) But more specifically, imagine the worst Mexican fast food served on a fancy plate... Soft Drink 1 $5: Sprite: Good Soft Drink 2 $5: Coke: Bad (too syrupy and flat) Bean, Cheese and Rice Burrito $16: Beans tasted old and burnt, rice tasted old and stale (possibly microwaved). The only decent thing was the tortilla. Carne Asada Quesadilla $18: The Meat tasted dry and old, hardly any cheese and tortilla was dry. Rolled Taquitos $15: The only kind of edible dish that was served, still not very good, We were expecting something much different from the original title and description. Taquitos are small, chicken tasted old and the sauce was just canned enchilada sauce. This dish should be called "Mini Taquitos Enchiladas"(to be nice) or "Taquitos Abominación" (to be honest) Seems like they just plated them very nicely as to cover up the mediocre taste. One positive is that the service was amazing, our server (Angelina) was very attentive and friendly. The food came out quick, which in this case, wasn't a good thing. We did mention to our server that the food "wasn't very good" she said we "should've said something earlier" (not sure what that meant) but we still decided to pay the full amount. I wish they could've accommodated a refund or percentage off the check or something. The total amount for everything including Taxes & Tip was $74.77. Very over priced especially for what we've experienced and ultimately not worth it. We will not be returning to this place. It's a shame we hardly finished our plates (we were hungry mind you) except for the taquitos which were somewhat the only edible thing on the table besides the chips, both of which still being not good, including the salsas that were provided. I'm hoping they do some quality control on every item on the menu, They truly need it. You should be ashamed, Tacos & Tequila. P.S. And to top it all off, we both are experiencing stomach issues after consuming their food, I'd say stay away from this place. And for the love of God don't trust the rave reviews!!

    Raspberry Mojito (very sweet, but good)

    FOOD POISONING... I've been here 3 times, and each time there was conflict in the restaurant.. my table never involved but just a tense atmosphere and bad customer service. This last time I went on Sunday, and it'll be my last time. We ordered fish tacos and ceviche, ate around 4pm.. I woke up at midnight throwing up from food poisoning. I had noticed a green mold looking area on my tortilla but ignored it cause I was hungry. I don't think it was the tortilla that made me sick, I think the ceviche was bad. The ceviche tasted off and wasn't "cold"... Aside from the food poisoning, my honest review is this place isn't authentic Mexican, they don't bring out the proper sauces with mariscos.. and the "spiciest" salsa isn't spicy. And the customer service is lacking. Servers take their time with request, and their is a lack of team effort on the floor. I asked a hostess for salsa, and she said "I'll let your server know", server didn't come back until after 10 mins later. That's 10 minutes my food is sitting while waiting for salsa.. We paid $95 for one appetizer, one plate of tacos, and TWO margaritas. High price for bad quality and slow service. Wish this restaurant the best and hope they can improve.

    Ribeye guacamole
    Becky B.

    Great place with a lot of seating and a good variety of dishes that you don't find at your average Mexican restaurant. Their michelada and tamarind margarita were delicious! I had the ribeye guacamole with is fried ribeye on fresh smashed avocado. I had this dish for the first time in Oaxaca, Mexico and was happy to see it here, it was so good!

    Receipt

    7-18-26 Today was my first time goung here. A friend of mine lives very close and I had been curious about it. The service was a 4+ out of 5 and the food was excellent. I ordered the Enchiladas Verdes with Carnitas plate. Very yummy. BUT, we also ordered Cadillac Margaritas and although they were very tasty; as they should be, we didn't know the price was $17 EACH! Our meals were $21 for a large plate...so $17 for a small glass margarita?! Yes, it was a juice size glass NOT a typical Margaritas-size glass. So, my meal with 2 drinks came to $67.96. PRETTY STEEP. So, if you plan to go there to order alcoholic beverages, I suggest you go during happy hour to save yourself the final bill SHOCK...or ask what the drink cost will be first.

    Beef enchiladas yummy

    Been here a handful of times and happy it's down the street. I want to try different dishes because everything on their menu looks so good. This review will cover the multiple times we've been here. Service is always friendly. I love their steak and eggs breakfast. The meat portion is big and I usually have leftovers. I love their rice and beans. I love their taco de camaron enchilado because it has the perfect crispy tortilla and dipped in the yummy spicy sauce and onions. Can't go wrong with their beef enchiladas - I would get this every time but I told myself I want to try everything. I've tried their taco trio and didn't love the adobada. The meat was doused with that seemed like canned sauce. The other only things I don't really like are their black water cups and their salsa isn't chunky. I asked for diced onions to be put in it or on the side but didn't get them. Chips were stale last night, but oh well. Everything else makes up for it. I get that I won't love everything on their menu, but at least I'll be able to recommend things to friends and family when we take them here. Fun vibes, not much going on In Menifee, but always something fun being celebrated at tacos and tequila. Beautiful restaurant with their artwork, decor, and fun music.

    Beautiful and delicious taquitos

    First time trying this restaurant, and it was a great experience! I love finding restaurants tucked…read moreaway in shopping plazas--they always seem to impress me more than I expect. We arrived right when they opened at 3 PM on a Saturday. The hostess was sweet and quickly showed us to our table. As soon as we walked in, I noticed the paintings on the walls--they were beautiful and really added to the atmosphere. If you want to learn some history behind the restaurant ask Tiffany for the story behind the paintings :) We started with a couple of drinks, and they were delicious. I ordered a Bloody Maria (basically a Bloody Mary made with tequila), and it was really good. For an appetizer, we got the Grilled Corn Ribs, and wow--they were so tasty. We couldn't stop talking about how good they were. For our entrées, we ordered the Double Stacked Cheeseburger and the Cavatelli pasta. I really enjoyed the pasta. The flavor was delicious, and while the noodles were a bit thicker than I expected, it was still a great dish. My partner wasn't the biggest fan of the burger because of the Southwestern pimento cheese, but the fries were excellent! I tried the burger myself and honestly thought it was still pretty good. It was also my partners birthday so they brought a cute little dessert! Overall, we had a great experience. Our waiter, Jose, was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service. We'd definitely come back and try more items on the menu.

    A $25 cake-cutting fee shouldn't have overshadowed our son's birthday, but the way it was handled…read moredid. We've been coming here for years. It has been our go-to steakhouse, and we've even celebrated our anniversary here. We love the food, which makes what happened during our son's birthday dinner especially disappointing. After an excellent steak dinner that cost approximately $330, we brought out a small, pre-sliced ice cream Polar Pizza for our son's birthday. I began serving it myself because it was already sliced. The waitress then came over and, in a confrontational manner, announced that we would be charged a $25 cake-cutting fee. The fee may have previously been mentioned to my wife, but I was not aware of it when I began serving the cake. I understand that restaurants have policies, and a calm explanation would have been enough. Instead, the situation was turned into an unnecessary scene during our son's birthday celebration. Then another large male employee came over, stepped directly into my personal space, and angrily asked, "Would you bring beer into a bar?" He got right in my face without first asking what had happened or allowing me to explain. His tone and decision to get that close were aggressive, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional. We ultimately paid the $25 fee even though the staff did not cut, plate, or serve the cake. The fee was frustrating, but the confrontational way the employees handled the situation was far worse. Families considering celebrating a child's birthday here should confirm every outside dessert policy beforehand. In our case, what should have been a joyful moment for our son became an upsetting experience. It did not leave us feeling as though families celebrating with children were welcomed or valued. A simple and respectful conversation could have resolved everything in seconds. Instead, their response changed the entire mood and ruined what should have been a special ending to our son's birthday dinner. The food may still be excellent, but a restaurant is remembered for more than its steaks. After years of loyalty, the aggressive and disrespectful way this was handled during our son's birthday has cost them our business. We will not be returning.

I met one of the owners and he was very charming and we had a nice chat and he handed me a discount coupon for a free appetizer or something for my return which is a clever move. It's a refreshing nicely curated interior, unseen in the Menifee area. This brings a little "elevated" sophistication to retirement central! A ray of SUN in the CITY one might say. Applebee's regulars be prepared for a new experience that might shock you if you can take the leap. The lovely plated dishes coming out of that kitchen were top-notch architectural masterpieces. I will have to return soon, but I'm vegetarian so I might have some limitation, but we'll see. Maybe they'll whip something up? The interior is trying to be real hip and it sort of works in a positive way but a little bit of that modern gauche. You know, kind of like Z gallery meets mid-century with a slight Lichtenstein tribute with a cartoonish flavour. It does work though, and carries to the exterior or the exterior carries to the interior? With the limitations of a strip mall it's a little bit hard to put lipstick on a pig. But they've executed it well and it's inviting and a departure from the norm. I'm excited to get there soon.

I took my family of four for brunch, expecting their standard $20 per person rate. Instead, we were hit with a hidden price hike of nearly $40 per person. There was no clear signage about the holiday pricing, save for a single TV screen flashing ads too quickly to read. I saw the $20 advertisement on Facebook but am not on Instagram and that was the only place I found (two days later) the advertisement for the price for Father's Day. To make matters worse, the food quality was awful. Everything tasted like it had been sitting there for hours burning in the pans heated below by gas warmers. The biscuits were rock hard, the slider buns were completely dried out, and the bacon was burnt. The pancakes were stale and hard and the pasta/macaroni salad had been sitting out in an uncooled bowl with no lid. I couldn't even finish a plate because of the poor quality. Paying $160 for four people to eat a meal of this quality was completely unacceptable. I've had much better food McDonald's than this. Had the food quality at least matched the price, I likely never would have left this review. This ruined our family celebration, and although this was the first time we ever tried this place, we will not be returning to here again.
