Been here 3 previous times. All good experiences. Went today for an early mother's day dinner. Terrible service. Food was good. Was a shame service was so bad for such a special occasion read more

Great service and delicious food. Friendly-accomadating staff. Loved the different way the Chimichange was presented. Been there 3 times and each visit was great. Love the warm chips on the table and pitcher of water. Also fun desserts and good Cappuccino. Definitely worth a visit ! read more

Excellent food. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Thank you for an awesome experience

I wanted a new place for lunch on Sunday, and I found myself out this way, so I stopped in to Tequila Garden. Its light and airy on the inside, but I asked to be seated in their outside garden area as it's one of those rare days in florida, perfect, 80°, light breeze and sunshine. My waitres was young but really efficient and correct. I ordered Guacamole for my chips, i had steak/chicken fajitas and an iced tea. The food was very good. The fajita was more than enough to bring home to the hubs. read more

Too loud. Too expensive. Waited too long to try this establishment only to be way too disappointed. read more

Had to edit my review. What a difference a month makes, unfortunately. Sit at the bar, wait.. wait.. ask for menu, decide what I want, wait.. wait.. wait.. wait.. finally ask bartender 'who am I supposed to place an order with' and sends someone else over. I select corn tortillas instead of flour, but flour arrives with meal. I wait, and eventually tell them. Could be just an oops. She looks at them and asks a server to get corn, moments later the same thing is delivered, but this time I'm told when they heat them up they change color. Seriously?! Well then that answer should've applied the first time. But, I've never seen nor heard of corn tortillas that are white as flour tortillas. This experience was VASTLY different than my first experience; perhaps I just got lucky on first trip. I re-reviewed the menu while there, pricey for what you get. $21 for some diced chicken (about 3 mayyyybe 4 oz) with refried beans & rice, when that meal shoulda been more like $14-15. Then I learned the place is a 'chain' restaurant, so that explains quite a bit. I may give them a 3rd try, but only because it's very close to the house. Oh well, back on the hunt for good food at a reasonable price, and preferably a genuine 'family owned' place. I HATE chain restaurants. read more

Been here twice and so far this place has been great! Food is great and service is fair. Our food has came out fast every time, but like, extremely fast. Our food normally comes 3 seconds after we get our drinks. Which isn't something to complain about, was just shocked. read more

Overall an enjoyable experience. The interior is beautifully decorated - worthy of a celebration location. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was flavorful and arrived to our table quickly. I appreciated the variety on the menu -- something for everyone. I also appreciated the willingness to adjust the tortillas to lettuce wraps for a low carb option... something simple but made a big difference to our experience. We look forward to returning and trying more menu options! read more

We went for lunch and had a very good experience. Aly was our server and she did an excellent job. The Cadillac margarita was outstanding. I had the chicken enchilada with mole sauce I got that because you can't find it at most local Mexican restaurants. It was very good. They have a coffee and pastry shop with espresso machine. The decor was very nice and I think they took the old golden corral to a new level. read more

Wow! This new restaurant has replaced my old memories of Golden Corral, it is beautiful inside. We sat at the bar and Gaby could not have been by been more helpful and knowledgeable about there menu and options. She was attentive and ready to serve. The spicy margarita lived up to its name as I've rarely found a place where the margarita fits the term spicy. Food came out very quick and it was delicious. Definitely a great place to enjoy in Citrus County! Very clean and fresh feeling inside. Excited to come back for brunch! read more

Tequila Garden gets a solid 10/10 from us tonight. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The guacamole was creamy and perfectly seasoned, the enchiladas were rich and satisfying, and the tacos were packed with flavor. The sides and sauces really pulled everything together and made each dish stand out. The margaritas were just as impressive--large, refreshing, and well-balanced. On top of the food, the atmosphere was inviting and the service made the experience even better. It's the kind of place you can enjoy a great meal and genuinely relax. Highly recommend Tequila Garden. We will definitely be back. read more

The service was amazing! The staff is knowledgeable and well trained. Food was very good. Well will be returning

4.8!! Service and good were very good! Little pricy margaritas but definitely worth it! Sara was great! She didn't rush us and provided insight to help us choose not only our beverages but food options as well! Definitely worth it!!! read more

TLDR; spicy marg too spicy, yummy Mexican food. Aesthetic. Very cute restaurant open for a few weeks. Just happened to be in the area and wanted a little drinky drink. 2 folks walked in before me and were told there's a 20 minute wait or they could sit at the bar.. bar it is for me. I ordered the spicy margarita and let me tell you.. this spicy margarita is 10x spicier than any other spicy margarita you've had. Maybe they were trolling me and added 7 jalapeños and their seeds and their juices but holy moly. I've had a spicy marg before but that's crazy. I had to have my server sweeten it, and she added agave and lime and that made it a bit more bareable but still holyyyy cow. Decided to grab a bite to make it more bearable and got birria tacos. Yummy. I'll be honest, I think it's hard to mess up Mexican food so this is good enough for me, just.. you can get just as good for cheaper. It was pretty busy so even sitting at the bar I barely saw my server so that's where the 3 stars comes from tbh. Shout out to the lovely ladies Penny and her daughter who sat next to me toward the end of my stay here and took a sip of my spicy a** marg to make sure I wasn't trippin. read more

The room is very beautiful especially the glass bar area. They off a separate coffee location with sweets if you're in a hurry. We had shredded chicken burrito and 3 enchiladas. They were delicious, especially my white queso. Staff were friendly. We look forward to going back soon! read more

This place does not look like a regular Mexican restaurant, the chips are flavorless, and also beans and guacamole does not go on a chicken sandwich. The doña birria was alright but could use more flavor and it should be goat. The service was good they always checked up on the table. read more

Tequila Garden is exactly what this area needed. The food was amazing, especially the chicken chile relleno, and we loved the beef tacos, steak enchiladas, chips and salsa, and churros. Service was excellent, very attentive and efficient for a new restaurant, and we were seated quickly even with limited hours and lots of people. The ambience is vibrant and modern, totally different from anything else nearby, and I really appreciate that they are opening slowly to train their staff the right way. Highly recommend Tequila Garden and especially the chile relleno, and I am excited to go back and try more of the menu! read more

Excellent food, service & ambience. I wish they would open for lunch. Great restaurant, highly recommend read more

They start you off with chips and salsa the salsa is bright and fresh. I ordered the burrito mexicano and it was delicious! Our server James was friendly and very attentive. The inside was spacious and airy, impressive bar area. read more

Kristina was so personable and explained everything very well. Great experience. The Garden Salad with Chicken is great.

Wanted to like this place because the atmosphere and hype made it seem promising, but overall it was disappointing. The margarita was actually pretty decent, probably the best part of the experience. The food, however, left a lot to be desired. The chips and salsa didn't taste fresh, and the birria was far from authentic. If you're looking for real Mexican food, this probably isn't the spot. Not sure where all the hype comes from honestly. The presentation looks good, but the flavor and authenticity just weren't there for me. Friendly wait staff though. read more

Fun, new restaurant. The salsa is good, which is a make a break for me if they can't make good salsa then you know. I had the chicken enchiladas with a mole sauce and they were very good friends at the table had fajitas and they said they were a little dry. The margaritas were great. The guacamole is very good. They were busy and we were seated quickly and served fairly quickly and it was a very good experience. We will definitely be going back. read more

Food was excellent. Service was very good. It has potential to be loud when crowded. Ambiance was excellent.

Had the chile rellenos, tamale. Atmosphere service price and taste were all a 10!! Better than Wet Willies and Margaritaville in Cozumel!! Definitely authentic tasting food!! read more

Great news place but they are still working out the kinks. Food was great, I had the garden bowl which was super fresh and delicious. Hubby had Berra tacos which he loved. He also had Chile Relleno which he said was very bland and would not get that again. Forget what else we got but it was good. Margaritas are very pricey 2 in our party ordered them and they said it was more mix and not worth the price. read more

My husband and I are originally from Texas and eat Mexican in Texas and Mexico constantly. We are hard to please and have not found decent Mexican food in the Citrus Hills area until Tequila Garden. We have eaten here 7 times since they opened. The first 5 times they were newly opened and the service and margaritas were strong. The past 2 times we visited here was this week and I can say with absolute certainty the margaritas are less strong and just much more sweet. I ordered an extra shot of tequila to be added to my classic frozen margarita these past two visits ( sad face here). The beef fajita meat is the most tender and tasty around. The queso could be served at a hotter temperature and is usually cold by the time I dip my chips in it. However, the chips and fresh guacamole are amazing and we've had chimichangas, fajitas, chile rellenos, tamales, and tacos that are all the best in town. If the owner is reading this, I would suggest pictures and things on the wall to help absorb the sound. It often feels like a cafeteria and is very noisy, because there's not much absorbing the sound. My husband and I would eat them more often, but with the cafeteria noise, it makes it less appealing. All in all, do you think the food is the best Mexican food in the Citrus Hills area. I only wish the atmosphere was less noisy and did not sound like a cafeteria. read more

We have been four times since they opened and the food has been exceptional. other than one instance service has been great as well. Really love being able to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air and the music in the background. The guacamole is some of the best we ever had and you have to try the churros for dessert! read more

Had to wait at the bar for our table which was just as Hope made us some great drinks. Hope was very knowledgeable about the different Margaritas and we chose the Skinny and a Sangarita both were delicious. read more

Amazing! We enjoyed the food, service and ambiance so much! This restaurant can't be beat in this area. If you're sitting at the bar, say hi to Breezy! read more

My husband and I went for dinner this evening. The decor is good for a Mexican restaurant. The acoustics are awful. It is so loud you cannot have conversations at your table. The menu is reasonably priced. We both felt our food (burritos and enchiladas) were bland. The service was good and the food came out very quickly. read more

Food poisoning from this place. Manager fails to respond. Avoid!! Staff could care less.

Food was very good and served hot for a change. Service was very good with a very polite waitress and server.The only problem this restaurant should address is the noise,it's very noisy without any sound deadening on walls. read more

Stopped in about a month after they opened and sat at the bar. Great service, great margaritas and the fajitas were pretty good also.

food was Luke warm, my guess it was microwaved and from a package. Rellenos was mushy and machine made batter. Tamal was tasteless and again like warm. this cannot be call Mexican cuisine. your better served buying frozen at Publix and using your own microwave so it's at least cooked. read more

Hands down......best Mexican food and drinks. I've explored many Mexican restaurants, but this one is the bomb, look no further. The atmosphere is pleasant and inviting. The food and staff were excellent. Restaurant owner present and stayed on top of the food and any customers concerns. read more

Had lunch there today. The food was absolutely fabulous. Our waiter Chris was super. While we there, the owner/manager came over to ask about our meal. Told him the food was fabulous, and I mean that, it was. The only drawback was it is noisy. It didn't help that we were seated next to 6 adults, a toddler and two babies. The people were noisy, not the babies. Perhaps when the hostess saw two senior ladies coming for lunch, she would suspect, they may like to chat a bit. Of course, seeing the crowd in the next booth, I could have asked to be seated elsewhere, I didn't, so my fault. The manager advised us they are going to work on the accoustics. BTW, nicely decorated interior. read more

First and last time to this restaurant. The only good in this restaurant was the waitress, who we felt sorry for because she had way too many tables to care for. The shrimp chimichanga was nothing like I have ever seen before. Lots of dough and inside were very few shrimp, which tasted dirty and were mushy. Rice was not very flavorful. Quite a disappointment. read more

Not a fan. Was not thrilled with telemundo on the tv. Ordered the chimichanga and the pastry was more fit for a "fried ice cream with chocolate sauce," than a steak enclosure. I asked the server if the meal came with rice and refried beans and she said "yes." No refried beans, and when I mentioned it, they brought me black beans and charged me for it. read more

Great service with Cacey. The food is amazing. Very happy atmosphere. I will definitely be back.

I had seen mixed reviews on Facebook about service and quality of food which made my husband and I a little skeptical. We've been waiting patiently for this place to open up because it's hard to find a good Mexican joint, but this place was well worth the wait. our waitress as well as the owner were very attentive, the food was THE BEST we have had. this is our new spot, thank you so much! read more
