This is a favorite of my in-laws and my hubby. They have been numerous times without me (while I am working) and I was finally treated to them this past weekend. With hubby laid up from an injury he was stir crazy- so we ventured out to visit parents and decided to do Mexican for dinner. Ordering with parents was comical- dad refused because he didn't want to get blamed for screwing it up and mom played having a hard time between reading the menu and talking to the person on the other end who obviously spoke Spanish as a first language. I actually video taped the exchange to send to my sister-in-law so she could laugh. With the order placed they said pick up would be in approx 10-15 minutes! Fast! Love that. Dad and hubby left to retrieve the order. Mom got the Piggy Burritos- shredded pork Carnitas burritos topped with queso dip and pico d' gallo (served with rice or beans) and she should have ordered one- but she can't resist getting an extra for $2- mom was the only one with leftovers. But she loved them. Dad ordered NCHILAQUILES- Corn tortilla chips and salsa casera, grilled chicken or asada steak, melted Monterrey Jack cheese, and a fried egg. The header for this section said dishes come with rice and beans unless otherwise noted- but he did not get his rice and beans and was perturbed. He had plenty of food- and he enjoyed the dish, he just wanted his rice and beans too. Hubby got enchiladas- which I ate his beans- yum and he had no trouble devouring his meal and helping me with my Steak Street Tacos- simple but good with grilled onions and cilantro (I wasn't a fan of the raw onions on it too- I love grilled onions, raw, not so much). The chips that came with the meal were superb. Dad stole my hot sauce and also loved that addition to his meal. And parents also ordered a side of (I don't see it on the menu) street corn, or at least that's what mom called it. All in all- it was a 4 star experience for quick service and delicious food- I love the restaurants that have managed to stay open during this time! The fact that my family already loved this place also lent to the 4 star review. read more

Love and loved Tequila Town. This place is the perfect date night spot and the food is spot on and reminds me of the Mexican food you'd get in Chicago and other big cities- this place will not do you dirty on flavor or spices either. We all know what this means :) On this visit we had the quesadillas, ceviche and esquites right before the kitchen closed (we had no clue) and they were all amazing. Even though they were close to closing the same flavors, temperature and quality were maintained in the food as thought they'd just opened. As my dude and I are both foodies, we gobbled it all down in pure delight before they closed (we got y'all) and even debated taking micheladas to go: which they don't do, but wouldn't that be great :P Had a blast and will be back for more date nights. Oh! Of mention, our server said it was his first day serving and he was wonderful. The service here is amazing and two other people (perhaps the owner and manager) came over to ask us how we liked the food. My cheeks were full, so it was always a thumbs up for me. Thanks everyone! read more

Great food, service and reasonable price! Kid friendly. Extensive menu. And pleasant atmosphere.

Got the ceviche and steak tacos. $15 for ceviche and $12 for steak tacos. More money than I am used to paying but the food was good. Got takeout. read more

Food is good. They are crazy busy but do a good job. Everyone is friendly. We have been there several times. Table side guacamole did not really impress me. Nor did the ceviche but their tacos are terrific. Their margarita pitchers are expensive but delicious. Will update with pics and more info later. read more

It's always a bold move when a Mexican restaurant takes up the same location as a now-closed former Mexican joint (in this case, the long gone Peppers). Fortunately for Tequila's Town, they're a step up in quality (although that's not a huge bar to clear). And they also have done a much better job with the interior decor. As for the food, I went with the Mole Chicken. Admittedly that's a tough dish to pull off, so I guess I can't hold them too accountable for the mundane entree that I received. But the portions were a pretty good size, so they get points for making sure I didn't leave hungry. They also get points for having Horchata on the menu, which is a cinnamon heavy drink that I cannot recommend enough. Unfortunately our waitress was pretty absent, so I sadly did not get a chance for a refill once I ran out. The often aloof waitress also caused the kids to get restless at the end of the meal, as she disappeared for nearly 15 minutes when we were ready for the check. Overall it wasn't a terrible meal, but it certainly wasn't memorable enough to spring to mind next time I'm craving Mexican food. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I am Mexican and I love tequila. But the food was extremely bland. It wasn't horrible, just tasted like they didn't even do the justice of seasoning the beans with salt. They did have a great skinny jalapeño margarita and we asked for a spicy salsa and it tasted authentic and very spicy (my favorite thing about Mexico is the amazing salsas that come with the food, and that sauce reminded me of it). I can't complain about the service. I'm sure I'll give it another shot, just not sure when. read more

Pretty typical standard Jax Mexican food. I started with the strawberry margarita which was a bit syrupy. I'd get something else next time. We had the chorizo queso dip which was watery but tasty. I had the chimichangas which weren't bad, but a bit bland. My husband had the molcajete (hot) which he really enjoyed. It came in a lava rock bowl and was scalding hot for at least 20 minutes. All in all, not bad. I'd try something else next time but would at least come back once. read more

Small guacamole was ok. The tacos were average. They needed more seasoning. The restaurant has a beautiful aesthetic and would be good for a date or group dinner but the food was unremarkable. I would probably not suggest this place but if someone planned an event here I would go and maybe try something else. read more

I like this place! My husband and I went here for dinner with our son. We enjoyed the experience, service and food. The reason why I had to rate this establishment 3 stars mainly has to do with the taste of the food. It was yummy but it was not very authentic. My husband is Mexican and born and raised in California. He knows how to cook amazing Mexican food. My best friend is Mexican so growing up, I ate authentic Mexican food. The food at Tequilla Town was very Americanized and lacked a little bit of flavor. My husband and I ordered a nacho chorizo cheese dip which was amazing. I enjoyed my tacos. I ordered mix and match Street tacos (Carnitas, El Pastor and Carnitas). My husband ordered the same but he didn't not get a Carnitas taco, instead he got chicken. we didn't like that our tacos had very large pieces of sautéed onion in them and we noticed our tacos didn't have that much meat. Again, the flavor was good and all but not very flavorful like we were expecting. I feel like the food lacked authenticity and flavor a bit. Same goes for our steak quesadilla. My husband said he may come back again to give this place a 2nd chance. I don't know if I will tag along. Our server was nice and fast so that was a major plus. read more

We used to live in Savannah and Tequila Town was always our favorite Mexican spot. So when we moved to Jacksonville, we were so excited that they had a tequila town here. Service and food were excellent just like we remembered. We always order to table side guac and shrimp tacos. Will definitely be back! read more

Good food and good service and good vibe. The margarita frozen was good. Had a nice time with friends. Liked the photo props, it added to the memories of cinco de mayo read more

Our new favorite Mexican spot. The Chile relleno is to die for. My husband and I always get one to split as an appetizer. We've always ordered it with shredded chicken, but they have many meat options. The chimichanga is great. I have them add sour cream to the guacamole salad to make it perfect. The first time we went my hubby ordered the Molcajete... it came out in a super cool lava bowl and was boiling hot, and a huge portion. We have friends who live nearby and always have them cater their events. That's how we found out about them. They do an excellent job with catering as well. read more

These are the BEST street tacos in Jacksonville hands down. The staff is super friendly and very attentive.

There are several locations around me when I need to quench my craving for Mexican food but Tequila's Town has become the favorite. The wait is seldom very long and the food and service is very good. I don't think we've visited once without the manager stopping by to check on things. On my last visit I ran out of onions for my fajitas and he came back with a heaping plate. He even offered to take the whole plate back to the kitchen to blend everything together. We've taken several family members to dinner and everyone has enjoyed their meal. Definitely a great place to visit. Haven't taken advantage of the full bar but it looks well stocked. Great, now I want a margarita. read more

Great new authentic Mexican restaurant and bar.. Happy hour from 11am -6pm with a couple of excellent deals. House margaritas and all 16oz draft beers $2 What's even better is that the house tequila is Maestro Dobel, which is a very good tequila. The draft selection includes Dos Equis, Modelo, Tecate, and a few different domestic beers. We were doing drinks and appetizers but the queso fundito with chorizo and camarones a la diabla ( spicy shrimp ) were both good. Very clean, new, and inviting atmosphere with excellent service. The tequila selection was also very good and reasonably priced. I have uploaded several pictures for reference read more

I have been here a few times and their food never disappoints. Love the food, it always tastes amazing. Great and quick service.

The food was alright. The molcajete came out and had shrimp when we asked for none and the burrito had more beans than steak. Food is decent server was definitely nre but she was sweet. read more

From the owner all the way up to the servers, we were welcomed and well served. Our graduation celebration dinner was a big hit. We all ate too much, and drank just the right amount:) Thank you T's Town! read more

Tequila's Town is in my top 3 favorite Mexican restaurants and it is my boyfriend's favorite (he was born in Mexico, so I think he has better Mexican food/atmosphere judgment cred than I do) here in Jacksonville. I love the aesthetics here. Very modern with plants all over, plenty of space, and COVID precautions all around. The manager, Danny, is wonderful to us! The staff is always attentive and nice regardless of if we are sitting at the bar or a table. They know my order by the sound of my voice when I call in orders or when they see me. It's awesome. My favorite is the Arroz Texano ($12) and it comes with rice (I get it on the side), fajita goods like shrimp, chicken, steak, peppers, onions, tomatoes. I also get the queso on the side. It's so much food and absolutely delicious! My boyfriend has ordered a bunch of different dishes and has never had anything (we, because I always try his) that wasn't good. 5/5 stars hands down. The drinks can be pricey, but the food is very reasonable. Love this place! read more

My husband and I go Friday evenings. Of all the Mexican places at the beach this place is outstanding for customer service. Always hustling bustling staff with a smile. Cleaning in between patrons. Happy family atmosphere. Food is great too. read more

We eat here at least once a week and the food is always excellent and consistent. The table side guacamole is tremendous, and their salsa is really tasty. Fajatitas and Chile Rilleno are awesome! read more

Such a cute spot. Our server, Ivan, was on it with service. We never had to ask him for refills on drinks or chips and he gave great recs for food. I'm eager to come back to try more Tequila's. We came in on a Monday around 12:30. Only two other tables seated. I recommend the queso chorizo dip for 7$. Comes in a medium size bowl, great for four people. Jalapeño marg wasn't overwhelmingly spicy; just right. read more

Was excited to try this restaurant based on the positive reviews. Ordered steak tacos and was disappointed in how tough and overcooked the steak was. Other ingredients were ok though and the portions were quite good. Partner ordered empanadas and she liked them ok. I tried them and did not like the taste of the oil used to cook them. The oil tasted old and had a funny flavor. Another issue was the wine options. There are none. Only a single variety of each wine variety was available and the menu failed to mention the brands/vintage. Partner chose a red and it was quite harsh and obviously of low quality, especially considering the charge $9 a glass. Did not finish it. Will try one more time as it is a convenient location, but will not order any steak items or any wine. Another minus was how close the bench seats are to other diners. You practically sit back to back with other diners and there is no barrier between...not ideal. read more

Service was excellent, all employees were friendly and efficient. The food was really tasty. I can see ordering just about anything on the menu and being happy with it. read more

I just found this place and took my family last night. the drinks and tableside guacamole are good we got several dishes including burritos, quesadillas, tacos. they give you plenty of free chips and salsa waitstaff is great. blows away all the other beach area Mexican places Who have gotten way too full of themselves and their substandard service and food read more

It is so good to have TT open and providing their wonderful food and service once again. They are doing a great job of keeping their staff and patrons safe while providing relaxed but attentive service. The food quality is as good as ever. I particularly enjoy the made to order guacamole since I am allergic to onion. Sorry I didn't take any pictures - I was busy eating!!! Danny is the manager and is very visible and gracious. Jennifer has waited on us multiple times and provides excellent, attentive, but not intrusive service. read more

Good food, good service, clean and bright atmosphere. We've been there twice and had good meals both times.

Grabbed a bite before hitting a move. Service was fast and friendly, and food was great! Some of the best guacamole I've had in a while and the street tacos were to die for. Pricing was reasonable as well. I would recommend this place! read more

Ok, so this place is the Mexican crack on the beach. Great $3 Happy Hour house margaritas. Good hot salsa, excellent chilaquiles, tasty lamb barbacoa tacos with green salsa, very eclectic and unique menu throughout and LOTS of options (meaning this now has become a mission for repeat visits). As the name suggests, wide variety of tequilas including 4 mezcals. Everything we tried was so tasty it begs a follow up visit. read more

Our new favorite local spot. So far on visit 8 in less than 2 months can say- Nothing ever bad here!!!! The manager cares so much. Saw him take our nacho chips which were broken and caught him telling staff no! No serving broken. We didn't even care but he's so keen on quality! The premium margarita is worth the up charge. Soooo good. Try it with the chili salt rim. You can tell it's fresh and made with a lot of love! The Manager peeks in all the time! We have somehow gotten a different server almost every time, yet somehow they all make it feel so personal. This gringo loves it and will be back! Love you guys. Our new neighborhood go-to! read more

Got it to go- good prices and it was ready and fresh! Will definitely be back! It is a really cool looking restaurant inside.

Great mole sauce, great service and great food. Good selection of Tiquila too. Enchiladas mole is great.

This place is incredible! Super fresh food, lots of veggie & vegan options and flavorful salsas. The food was served very fast and the staff was knowledgeable and friendly. I got the black bean empanadas & the burrito negro, the portion was very generous.. my friend had the chicken tacos & chicken empanadas.. Entering the door we were greeted by the friendly manager and a fresh clean smell. The interior is very modern and spacious with very comfortable booths. read more

I have eaten here three times as it is 5 minutes from home. The first time it was just OK, lacking in originality. The next time I brought two meals home, but neither my husband's beef enchiladas nor my beef burrito had much flavor. This was last year. We decided to give it another go yesterday lunch. I ordered fajitas, and my husband some steak enchiladas. The fajitas came only with the chicken and veggies. Sour cream, cheese, and pico were all add-ons. What's more, the chicken pieces were quite tiny and without seasoning. My husband said he couldn't taste anything Mexican in his. It's a shame, nice place, looks promising, but hasn't delivered on the food. read more
