Absolutely amazing food and service!! The queso is so flavorful with a bit of heat, the birria tacos and flautas are freakin amazing and the sangria is refreshing, light and goes down way too easy. Lucas was our server and we couldn't have asked a more polite, respectful and kind server. If your looking for some great Mexican in a fun and enjoyable atmospjere. Tacos and Tequila in Gruene is the place!' read more

My 2nd time here didn't really change my mind, unfortunately. Visited on a Wednesday evening and service was truly lacking. Our drinks weren't refilled unless we flagged down a server. (And it wasnt very busy at all on the patio.) Several servers/hosts just chatting it up, rather than checking on customers.. Food- once again, mediocre. This time I had the chicken fajitas. They weren't bad... but nothing to come back for. Salsa was really blended- and not much flavor. Chips tasted straight from a mid-priced bag. ExTREMLY overpriced for the quality of the food & drink. $70+ for 2 entrees and 2 Teas. With many Tex-Mex options in the area, this one didn't hit the spot on my first OR second visit. Disappointed for one of my favorite little towns. read more

Overall nothing special but not bad. It has a playground so many families and kids are outside playing around which is where we sat so not sure about the inside. Service was good and pretty attentive. Food was just average. I was disappointed in the Al Pastor, not everywhere included pineapple and the menu mentioned it so was sad when they didnt have any. The rice and beans were just plain. Cheese enchilada was okay. Birria Ramen was probably the best thing we ordered. Not pictured: Salsa at the beginning were delicious so maybe it built a higher expectation. Queso was good yet simple, however guac was just smashed avocado so not worth it. read more

Went here for dinner yesterday and OMG the salsa and chips are TOP NOTCH!! The salsa is my favorite now! Their chips were fresh and served warm! So yummy! The service was great and friendly and polite! They were very helpful with making selections and had a hard time choosing! We sat outside because they have a great playground for the kids to run around so it was spacious and nice bench seating outside! This is one of my favorite places now! Second time coming read more

Donovan, was an amazing. Really great meal. Everything was awesome! The atmosphere is authentic to Gruene. Get ready for great service and a great time. read more

Really need management to get it together here! Good queso and decent margaritas but service is a major struggle. Multiple times coming here and have had to beg for every aspect of service throughout the meal each visit, no matter where we sit- patio, bar top, bar area. Our food order has never come out accurate or complete. Always seemingly enough people staffed and running around chaotically doing their best l but not quite working out with not even that many people eating there. The servers don't seem to blame. Seems they are tasked in a way that is creating disorganization. read more

Our waiter was great. Friendly college student. The cat wandering about was awesome. The food was tasty the salsa was in fire!

I've been avoiding this place for awhile. I have lived in NB for 20+ years and we loved Adobe Verde before 10ish years ago, it started going downhill. They got new owners and it was okay but still not great. We heard they rebranded with a new name and owner and we finally agreed to try it. We were seated quickly. Party of 3. They had happy hour, even on a Sunday, but we ordered drinks from their regular menu. Palomas and some spicy drink. I would come back just for drinks!!! They were delicious. Food was fine. Two of us had the shrimp tacos. Super flavorful but so tiny. Birria flautas were good. I could have used more consommé. Bathrooms were clean. Server was sweet. The rice was yummy but the queso was too thick. We added ground beef but it wasn't that great. Oh, the mango pico on the shrimp tacos was great. read more

We LOVE this Tacos y Tequila! Literally anything birria on the menu is fire, the chips and salsa and delish, and all their drinks are yummy! The Cantarito is my favorite drink, so fresh, but just be aware, the regular size is BIG! We had an early lunch here today and just had to leave a review because Harrison, the bartender, was awesome. He was super friendly and efficient, and we chatted about other local spots and FIFA. We appreciated him and the rest of the staff and establishment! See yall soon. read more

Great service!! food was delicious, waitstaff was very attentive. love the outdoor space and play space for kids

The lunch I got was great it was there take on chicken fried steak. Was served over mashed potatoes with cheese sauce with roasted corn. It was delicious and just a little bit spicy which enhanced the flavor. The service was good brought are drinks timely and the food was prepared and brought out quickly. The place looks rustic but had indoor and outdoor seating, it's a good place to stop by if you're in Gruene. read more

Great Food, Great Atmosphere and DAMN GOOD DRINKS! We love this place and eat here quite often. Their street tacos are great and all of the birria items are great too. Highly recommend their frozen margaritas. Outdoor patio is great for having some cocktails and having the kiddos play on the playground. Owners walk around and speak to the customers and love to do so. Y'all have to come and try this place out! read more

It was an extremely disappointing visit to this restaurant which used to be Adobe Verde. While the service was decent, the food had absolutely no flavor. I had the Chicken Verde enchiladas, they were barely warm and the sauce was bland. You could get better food from the HEB frozen section. My wife ordered the Taco Salad, a very difficult dish to get wrong. Unfortunately, the meat was cold and lacked flavor. There was a lump of sour cream, a lump of guacamole, and a lump of cold meat on a bed of lettuce. My 10 y/o son ordered the Birria Ramen, which he said was excellent. He truly enjoyed everything about the dish. Besides the disappointing food, the prices of the plates had also increased after the change of ownership/name. We paid more money for worse food. I would not recommend this restaurant to my family or friends. This appears to be a destination more geared towards tourists as repeat patronage seems unlikely. I normally would not leave a review but it just feels like we got ripped off. read more

We have never been to a restaurant in Texas where the food, service and people are a 10+++ every visit until Tacos y Tequila came into our lives earlier this year. And when you come here please! please! please ask for OG Mattie C the best EVER!!! thanks again Guys read more

Decided to take a group of 5 to this place. Food was ok, not bad but nothing to write home about. Service was less than stellar. The server did not know the menu or bar selections. If you are going to call yourself tacos you tequilla, you should either make sure your server is well versed in what is available or you should include a list of what selections are available from the bar. After 3 back and forth asking the bar if they had a particular tequilla only to told they didn't, I just ordered a single drink of something I wasn't particularly fond of just to make due. Water glasses were also not attended to with multiple people in our group running out of drinks. You have a great location and facility. You should work on some staff development. read more

This place is great for my kids. They have a ton of room to run around and the newly added turf is great. They get to run around, burn some energy, and work up their appetite. The food, drinks, and service were all excellent read more

Decided to try the place out because they were offering breakfast now. I ordered the miga plate. The miga was cold as well as their little squared potatoes and potatoes barely heated. Potatoes are always hot but not theirs. But here's the kicker I asked for a refill on my coffee. It took forever and we were ready to leave at that point when they bring my coffee. I asked if they had to make a new pot why it took so long. He said coffee pot wasn't working. They gave me someone else's coffee cup because it had a ring at the top where coffee had been sitting and the coffee was basically cold. Seriously???!!!! I don't like to give bad reviews so as to hinder a restaurant, but I tried their main menu when they first opened and it was just as poor. I don't know how this place is staying open. read more

Came here with a group of friends from out of town. The beef fajitas are excellent!!!! We sat outside and there was a live band. There is a small playground outside in case you want to bring the kiddos. The place was packed while we were here and the food is definitely the reason why. Everything was amazing. It's great for groups and for families. Could even be a cute date spot. Waitstaff was really attentive as well especially considering how packed the place was. Highly recommend!!! read more

Food was excellent and our server, Haylie was even better! We had a great time and can't wait to come back.

Great food and drinks! Our server was Haley and she did a great job! She was great to remind us when happy hour was over so we could get two more delicious house margs! I had the Mexican plate and my husband had the cheese enchiladas. Both were great! read more

Stopped here to check out the food and outdoor playground. The playground is small. The restrooms were gross. The women's toilet seat was broken, the sink was clogged and full of nasty water, and the men's smelled like sewer. We were concerned we made a mistake. We sat outside and had a great server. We tried 2 different margaritas, got chips and queso, kids nuggets and fries, kids bean and cheese taco plate, and the birria taco plate. Everything was excellent. Especially loved the salsa, chips, and rice!! Rice was refreshing. We would come back in the future, with hopes of a better restroom experience. read more

The food, cocktails and service were all great. Also enjoyed the live music (Leaving Page Town was performing the night we were there)

This is a great place to come hang out while in Gruene. The food is great. And the resident cat is hilarious.

What a wonderful and new to me restaurant. The menu is interesting with a delicious and different white queso. Great fried tortillas and a very good salsa is served table side. Excellent Mexican corn dip. Great guacamole. Chunky and delicious. Amazing fajitas. Super tender and thickly cut. Thought they would be tough because of the cut. Excellent chick fried chicken with great cheese sauce on top. Excellent shrimp tacos. The birria quesadillas were excellent. Great frijoles ala Charla and the rice was perfect. Nice tortillas flour and corn. Are party of 10 loved the food. The service was great. We loved the prickly pear margaritas. And the happy hour was great. Higher end tequila. And a great play area for the kids. Easy to observe them and eat. The owners are lovely and the atmosphere they have created is a higher end Mexican restaurant. read more

I'll start with the food. The Birria tacos were so greasy, they made us all feel nauseous. The chicken chalupas had hardly any chicken on them and the chicken that was there tasted old. The service was good, but always room for improvement. The ambiance is non existent. The place is dirty and gross. The vent in the corner where we sat was covered in dirt and dust. The windows and doors were covered in fingerprints and handprints. Three hostesses standing around doing nothing when they could be clean the glass with the bottle of wonder that was sitting untouched at the host stand. All in all a gross place all around. We are locals and will not be going back. read more

There is much to admire about the Mahi Street Tacos at Tacos Y Tequile in Gruene, Texas. For inland mahi dishes, I would confidently rate these tacos a solid 4 out of 5 stars. They are truly delightful, and I have no doubt that if we were near the coast, they would easily earn a 5-star rating! The queso is a superb blend of American melt, pepper spices, and heavy cream, resulting in a wonderfully textured, flavor-packed experience. Additionally, the freshly made guajillo-based salsa adds an enchanting touch, featuring essential spices and hints of lime that beckon for another cold cerveza. Overall, this culinary experience is well worth the journey!~ Tamale Joe read more
