    Chips & salsa.
    Linda A.

    We hadn't been here in a good while and decided to try it again. We were promptly greeted and seated. We had two servers. One brought the menus, chips & salsa, drinks and took our order. The other brought our food. The burrito was excellent and a very great size. The American Street tacos were great in chicken, but unfortunately the carne asada wasn't. The steak tasted off and it was super tough. Our server never brought the guacamole, but it wasn't on the bill either. The decor is Mexican, but a little toned down from some. There are also TVs if you're interested in a game.

    Food really good, service excellent and ambiance so nice!! Will visit again. What's so great is the location close to Winn Dixie and IKEA.

    3 beef burrito combo with rice and beans. (Not pictured... tortilla chips and salsa)

    Ordered on 4/6/26 for the first time delivery. The taco combo with rice and beans. It showed up and it was amazing! Tacos were full of meat and not just lettuce. Decided to order again. Ordered the same combo but messed up and ordered the burritos. Amazing! Bib portions of rice and beans, again the burritos were full of meat and not fillers. Took me a year and a half to find my Mexican spot!

    I met up for an alumni chapter meeting at Tequila's Mexican restaurant. This was my first time. I enjoy the chips and salsa as well as the queso my friend ordered while we waited for dinner. Which did take a while to come out. I ordered two specialty tacos, shrimp with avocado and chicken and mushroom. Both were yummy! But my favorite was the shrimp with avocado, so much flavor! I also ordered the tres leches which was okay. I probably wouldn't order it again. When I checked in on Yelp I was offered a free tequila shot. I asked the server about it and he said he would get back to me. The manager explained they didn't offer/make the premade batch of tequila shots until the weekend. But he came to the table and offered all of us a tequila shot which he did with us. Very nice touch! I'll be back to explore more of the menu!

    We decided to give this place another try after hearing about the changes, and I'm glad we did. First off, everyone was friendly and attentive - especially our wonderful server. The chips were hot and fresh, and the salsa was good. We were also happy that a classic queso blanco was back on the menu and enjoyed it. Our entrees were huge! My spouse thought the carne asada he ordered was really good and actually ate most of the steak as we were there, although it could have easily been split into two servings, I think. And I liked my chiles rellenos! It tasted fresh and not soggy at all, which I've encountered elsewhere). We both liked our drinks, too. My husband enjoyed the mojito so much that he ordered two. I loved my aguachile margarita and appreciated that it had a bit of a spicy kick to it. It was a generous serving, too. The only criticism I have is that the booths are super squished -- neither my husband nor I had much breathing room. I'd request a table with a chair next time and hope that maybe they take one booth out to make things more comfortable along the side of the restaurant. It was pricey -- for three alcoholic drinks, two entrées, and one queso, the total came to $95 before tax. So, this won't be my "cheap and filling" spot, but it will be a place I return to.

    At the point where I have to complain i don't want to come back. The food has changed so much this use to be one of my favorite spots local in Jacksonville. The prices do not match up anymore. Update server made it better and said she would talk to owners

    Amazing food and service is always stellar! It's a must for the best Mexican in Jax! Juan (the manager) is on point, this is the best food and drinks in Jax. Ya gotta try this it.

    Lunch time and happy hour. It was not crowded. We were immediately seated and were given menus to select our drinks. They have $3, $5 and $7 happy hour drinks. I got the large margarita. My tacos were hot and delicious. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh. They were so delicious no sauce was needed. The restroom was nice and clean. It looks like a bathroom at someone home. Home decor was very inviting.

    We hit up Tequilas for taco Tuesday and honestly I think they have some of the best tacos around. The meat and seasoning is excellent. I love the birria, al pastor, or shrimp tacos. My husband went a little adventurous by asking for a recommendation or maybe a surprise for his dish. I'm not sure lol but he got the most spicy dish I have ever seen him eat ever . Don't be like him but do try out their new menu! Very good service. They were so sweet in even bringing some orange slices for our little one. We had to try the tres leches cake. I enjoyed it with the chocolate shavings. I can tell they are very open to feedback and want to have customers in so I hope they are successful and that people give them a shot. The manager brought over shots of tequila and me and my mom couldn't do it so my husband had ours. We had no idea taco Tuesday would be so eventful. Thanks Tequilas for brightening up our weeknight.

Man, it was one of the best decisions I've made on the road lately! The food came out hot and fresh with that real homemade taste. The tacos were packed with flavor, the rice and beans were on point, and the portions were generous enough to fill up a hungry driver without breaking the bank. I went with the carne asada and it hit the spot perfectly - seasoned just right, not too greasy, and cooked tender. Service was quick and friendly, even when they were busy. The place has that classic hole-in-the-wall vibe (in the best way), nothing fancy but clean and welcoming. It felt like the kind of authentic spot locals would keep coming back to. Only reason it's not 5 stars is the parking can be a little tight for a big rig if you're not careful, and they don't have a ton of truck-friendly seating space. But the food more than makes up for it. If you're rolling through the area and craving real Mexican food, definitely stop in. I'll be back next time I'm in the neighborhood. ¡Muy bueno! -- Carlos, SemiTruckDriver

Service at the bar was great. Food arrived faster than expected, but I had also got there as their night was winding down. My friends and I were originally going to eat here for Cinco de Mayo, but when I got there at 6:45, I was told it would be a 3.5 hour wait. They had a DJ outside pumping out fast and upbeat music for the party and an outside margarita stand for grab and go drinks. When I arrived back just after 9, I had told them to take us off the list. She informed me that they tried calling me. Nothing came through on my phone, but she did show her call log and sure enough, it showed they called me around 8:20. My friends and I probably would have stayed to eat here originally had we been given a more realistic wait time guesstimate. An hour and a half wait vs 3.5 hours is much more feasible. Oh well. I'm sure I'll be back in the future. I've always enjoyed Anejo.

So overall, the food was decent but a bit salty, and the flavor didn't really stand out. To me it had more of a chain restaurant feel, kind of like something you'd get at Chili's rather than a more authentic Mexican spot. Drinks were mixed for us. My wife had margaritas and enjoyed them, honestly I don't think she's ever met a margarita she didn't like. I tried the Old Fashioned, which just wasn't my style. It tasted more like Fireball on the rocks than a traditional Old Fashioned. One thing they definitely did right was the service. Even though the restaurant was crowded, the wait staff was friendly, attentive, and stayed on top of everything the whole time. Overall, it's a cool spot with a fun vibe and good staff. If you're looking for a lively place and want to see some flaming food presentations, it's worth checking out.

The floors were sticky and our shoes stuck to the floor. The women's restroom was out of order. The kiosks seem like a good idea but nobody there to ask questions or to get your drinks. If you can catch one of the two people working as they bring out orders you are lucky. The menus on the kiosks are pretty informative though and tell the ingredients for each item. Kiosk automatically adds 20% tip unless you change it. Considering you don't have any interaction with employees until they bring out your order other tipping options might apply. They cook to order which is nice except you don't get your drinks or your appetizers until it's your turn. There is a comment section to type no tomatoes or special instructions. Mine still came out with tomatoes but they promptly remade it for me. The food is pretty good. No complaints there other than having to remake one of my tacos. The chips and queso was pretty good. Chips were dusted with spices and served hot. We tried 6 different tacos and they were all very good. The tortillas were toasted on the grill which makes a big difference. You can get flour or corn tortillas. The chicken and steak were marinated before grilling and were big cubes and plentiful. The menu has a pretty big variety including a kids menu with chicken and fries. The last comment is their fountain machine for drinks. The coke tasted off. They may need to recalibrate it. Drinks are served in small clear throw away cups and the lids don't fit very well. Refills are hard to get. You have to wait for someone to come out of the back. If these small complaints don't bother you the food is very good.
