    The view from the restaurant
    Jessy G.

    Im surprised to see the low reviews. I'm giving the place five stars . It's got a diva bar feel but it's on the beach and the views are amazing! You get the best deals on the strip!!!! Buy one get one free margaritas. And service was great too!

    So I saw this place just walking by and was really in the mood for some tacos so we came in and sat down and I had a "Painkiller" (that was the name of the drink) and Mahi Tacos. These tacos were phenomenal, the tacos had that fish taste but not in a bad way, it tasted very healthy I love when you can make fish taste really well and this place did it really good. The pain killer drink was very good as well but you can't have too many of these cause it has an added 151 Rum shot in it. We also shared a slice of Key Lime Pie because I have never had it before and it was very delicious. The atmosphere was very chill, you could people watch and the beach was right across the street which was awesome. The service was great everyone was very nice and friendly. I would definitely come back here.

    Only a short walk from my hotel, I stopped by the Drunken Taco for dinner. The majority of the seating is on the outside, but there is bar seating. It took a while for a server to come to me, as you seat yourself. Their $9.99 large margarita (I ordered the Blue Wave, but they come in 4 varieties) hit the spot. It didn't seem watered down at all as you sometimes get with larger drinks. The coconut shrimp tacos were fresh, but the sweet chili sauce truly elevated the taco. The rice and beans were a nice side.

    Stopped by here for lunch and it was probably the busiest place on the strip for a couple blocks but not over crowded. While they have weekly specials and happy hour all day, be aware that 2 for 1 items are per person (like you and a friend can't get 2 giant margaritas and just pay for one). Service was attentive when around but also missing some of the time. The food was tasty but the queso on the burrito was pretty salty. Also the burrito was very dense, missing something fresh or with a crunch or something to give it dimension. The loaded taco salad and the fiesta bowl comes in a huge taco shell which is always a plus on my book. The salad was good but very lettuce dense (about 3/4 of the tall shell bowl) and if you ate just from the top down, about halfway through you'd only have lettuce left. The chicken on the salad was quite tasty. Lastly, the view from the sidewalk seating can't be beat on a beautiful So Flo day

    Happy Hour Margarita

    Buy one get one happy hour margaritas were great! I expected something overly sweet with no alcohol and my expectations were exceeded. I got cheese nachos with chicken and they were layered with toppings. Very filling and delicious. The womens bathroom wasn't the cleanest. The restaurant is completely open so it was a little warm. Service was good. I say check this place out!

    Service was good! Matt was our server and he was fun as well as attentive to our needs. We went on a Sunday night. Music was fun! We ordered the Korean bbq tacos. Don't make the mistake we did. We thought it was beef but turned out it is chicken tacos with a Korean bbq sauce. It was good but was disappointed because we didn't read the whole description. Wings were good! Had a crispness to them. They have 2 for 1 margaritas. They are big! Good you can take them to go if you cant finish it. We liked the Hawaiian one! It was a fun find! Bathroom was so messy. Had no toilet paper. Definitely not a kid friendly bathroom. Luckily we didn't have to change our child.

    After a nice day on the beach, we ended up eating a light lunch at The Drunken Taco. It's in a prime location on the Fort Lauderdale beach strip, just steps away from the sand and lots of shops. After we stepped into this dive bar, we grabbed a high top table, then ordered a few tacos, empanadas, and drinks. Now here's the long and short of it: Great food? Check! Good music? Check! Amazing Pina Coladas? Double Check!! Perfect for people watching? Check! Friendly service? Check! (Shout-out to Julie) Sticky (aka OLD) tables? You betcha. Less than perfect bathroom? Absolutely lol. Birds leaving the beach and potentially walking by your table? Yup. And yikes. It is what you make it. If you decide to visit, I guarantee you won't be disappointed if 1) Julie is your server and 2) you order the Pina Colada. Winning combo!

    Yum yum yum! The Birria tacos with black beans and rice were soooo good! The jalapeño watermelon margarita was tasty too. Clean restaurant, right off the beach. Nice ocean view and ocean breeze. Staff was really nice and helpful too! Highly recommend!

    Empty tables.  Headed to Blondies, Beach Bar, or Elbo Room

    Just arrived at one of my usual tables. Sat for 20 minutes without service. Went to the bar and ordered 3 drinks. Went back to table and was not allowed to sit down and drink. About 20 tables vacant. She said we had to order from her. Hard to swallow for a local. Terrible service and servers. Two female servers would not lit us sit down. We have spent many days here before. Just sad. The people next to us had the same issue and left.

    Jalopeno watermelon margarita with tajin rim!

    My fiance and I were strolling around the shops and happened upon this place! I was in the mood for nachos but ended up getting the Queso which was AMAZINg!!! I had two jalopeno watermelon margarita with a tajin rim which were spicy and delicious! I got shrimp tacos with a tangy sauce while my fiancé got the mani mahi tacos! Everything was delicious! Our server, Maggie was friendly and made great recommendations! He place gives off a divey vibe but don't let that fool you! The food is amazing!!!

    Veggie Fiesta Bowl

    Grateful to be able to grab a late night dinner after a delayed arrival. When we arrived there was no one at the front so we were standing around waiting for help when an employee threw up his hands to say we can seat ourselves. Too funny but a sign saying just that would've been helpful. Anyway we got seated and a very friendly waitress (wish I could remember her name but it was late) greeted us. I ordered the veggie rice bowl and a passion fruit frozen margarita. Absolutely enjoyed both. It was such a beautiful night, after the rain. If you're ever in Fort Lauderdale definitely give this place a try, if you enjoy Mexican food and drinks as much as I do.

    Chicken taco special is pretty decent. Gotta get a 32 oz marg with a floater to make it better!
    James T.

    Rating this mostly for the atmosphere and the drinks, the Drunken Taco has been a staple on the FT Lauderdale Beach strip for ages! Home of the two for one 32 oz margaritas, go for the $3 floater on top and call it a day. Their food is just so so. Stick to the specials like their chicken tacos. Edible. Service also a bit slow when they're busy especially.

    Tacos and drinks were fire. The view was nice and the service was nice as well. On my list when we come back to FL

    Steak taco  Took one bite and threw it away . Waste of money

    Where is the best place to park near there?

    There is some street parking and garage parking available.

    Has anyone tried to contact this restaurant in the past week? I have been trying to call for a week and can't get anyone on the phone as well as their voicemail has a different number on it. I wish I could show up there but I live in a diff state.

    This place is the worst when it comes to service. We sat down and witnessed 6 other tables get approached and served before anyone even acknowledged our existence. Then when the waiter did come over to us, no apology, no "thank you for your…

    Shopping at Town Center and you can't find anything to buy or maybe you found too much and need a…read morebreak... Head on down to Prosperity and have a drink!!! Located at the end of the mall in front of the old Sears, near Container Store and Game stop...it's a great use of empty space. This s is also the same Prosperity brewery that's on NW 1st off of Spanish River, so if you like good local craft beer, here's a second location. Nice selection of beer, cider and wine. Their specialty is tropical infused beer and cider. I really wanted the cranberry cider, but they were out, it was also 7:30 on a Saturday night, so I'll check in earlier next time. Speaking of Check in, Check in on your Yelp app and your first drink is Free! That's always a nice surprise! I had the Nantucket Blue. I thought it was a cider, but actually it is a vodka infused drink and it was very good, with hints of lemon too. My husband had the Tangerine Sour - a nice German sour ale with tangerine infusion. He enjoyed it. Hot pretzels are available. Service is just as chill and friendly as the brewery location. I love supporting local and this makes shopping much more fun!!

    So let's start by saying if you don't know this mall and you don't remember where Sears was, it…read moremight be quite hard to find this location for Prosperity. There is no signage at all on the outside. I wondered around on the outside of the mall for a while looking for an entrance. There is none. The easiest way to get to it is to cut through the container store. Once you exit the container store it is inside the mall to your right If you are in the mall and wants some great craft beer or wine, this is the place. If you are not in the mall, my suggestion would be to go to the main location, especially if you want some of their more creative craft beer offerings. There was a limited amount of their beers here. All were closer to mainstream beers, no sours or the Double Black IPA which I absolutely adore. Still the beer is good, but for my purposes other than this review, this location did not really suit my needs. I was one beer and done. It is a cool spot with lots of light and nicely decorated. It is right next to a cool art dealership. And there is a lot of places in this mall to shop including a food court. The bathroom is a little ways away in the food court which could be inconvenient if you decide to stay for a few brews and need to crack the seal. The service here was spot on which is on par with the main location. Just wish they had more of the beers I know and love from the main location. They did have their staple beers here, unfortunately they re not my go to beers when I visit prosperity. If you happen to be in this mall and want a great craft beer or whine, this is the place. Other than that, unless you are just curious, I would recommend the main location.
