Came on a Friday afternoon for an early dinner. Was already pretty packed for happy hour. Service was good, food came pretty quick. The nachos and wings were great but tacos and burrito were alright. I think more people come for drinks than food but definitely had a fun vibe. Happy hour made it worth it so might come back one day. read more

We came here for a Friday dinner and the restaurant was packed with World Cup watchers. Happy hour was still happening though, which offers half off certain appetizers and $2 off drinks. Typically the service is great but you could tell that every worker was overloaded and running around. Our server made us feel bad about modifying our orders, which we usually do without a problem. After that reaction, we expected our food to come out differently than how we ordered, which is what happened. We ended up eating everything as is and it was still delicious. The burrito and nachos are still our favorite and the pina colada is so good. They put a lot of maraschino cherries in that drink, which is loved. The food came out quickly considering how many diners there were and our server came around as often as she could to check on our and refill waters. Overall, we didn't have the best experience at this restaurant but I consider it a one time thing because we usually do have a great time. read more

Tipsy Tequila and Taco Bar is the correct word order for this place the drinks come first here. The bar is large and central to the space - this is a place to come for a drink! The have many taps and a well stocked bar. While having those drinks there is some generous and relatively inexpensive Tex-Mex food being made in a kitchen behind a food truck facade. One thing I always appreciated about this place, even when it was Pour House, is how the front is all folding doors so it opens to the outside on beautiful days like the one we went on. It was a fantastic vibe and the classic rock playlist was adding to that vibe. The staff was friendly, the drinks were flowing and the plates were massive. I won't say the food is good here, more like good enough. Sometimes that's all you need. I ordered the mahi mahi tacos and found them a little on the flavorless side, but with hot sauce you can add some flavor. The nachos were huge, but again not too much flavor - the cheese sauce was a bit watery, but the other ingredients do the job. I didn't try the burrito but it looked like it was mainly rice. The surprise hit was the excellent crispy on the outside fluffy on the inside fries served with the burrito. I thought the food pricing was pretty reasonable - not too many places you can get 3 large tacos for under $10 lately. Be sure to check that 4% credit card surcharge - I didn't expect it, but it was added to the bill. read more

More like 3.5 stars. The restaurant still seems fairly new and we went during a quiet lunch hour. The knock on the stars is the tap water served. It was not the normal tap water we've ever had. See pictures for taco ratings. read more

I came for happy hour with my friends. The food truck mural was cool. There was a good amount of people ( teachers) here so I'm not sure what it's like on a different evening. We had a few issues with my drink. Our waitress and the bar mixed up the frozen and the sugar/salt rims. Not a huge deal when they brought mine on the rocks but I could not look beyond the salt rim and the tajin that some how found its way in my drink. It was awful and had to be changed, which the waitress did with no issues. Once corrected, my drink was sweet and delicious. The chips and guac and salsa were good and guac can get bland at some places but this wasn't. The crazy corn was tasty and the shrimp tacos were good as well. Maybe the waitress was overwhelmed with the crowd. She was a little forgetful with things and didn't check on us when we needed her at some points. Also, had an error on the bill so we had to wait for that to be corrected. Another group came over to us complaining about the waitress not liking teachers. I didn't get that vibe exactly. There were a few obnoxiously loud patrons at the bar but that isn't their fault. Overall, it wasn't bad and I like when happy hour included bites but service could have been better and the happy hour deal for the drinks wasn't that great. read more

This was a nice cheeky newish restaurant in bell blvd in bayside. The restaurant has plenty of seating and I loved the open patio doors. It's perfect for a summer night with a slight breeze. Happy hour is Monday to Fridays, 3-7pm. 1/2 off appetizers. Tuesdays has a margarita/drinks special all day. My group ordered the wings with chipotle bbq sauce. The wings were juicy, and not too fried. There was plenty of sauce but it didn't taste like chipotle. Just tasted like a semi Smokey bbq sauce. $15 for 10 wings. Decent value. We also tried the gringo taco and the Al pastor. The price was pretty decent. Less than $10 for 3 tacos. I wish the Al pastor had more flavor in the meat and just everything. It wasn't dry. Having hot sauce helped. The gringo taco which comes with a birria consume dipping sauce. The meat had good flavor and not too salty. Dipping it into the consume juice sauce definitely elevated it a bit. Overall, this place was a nice vibe. I'd come back to check out the happy hour. Not sure if I'd return just for the tacos or the wings. read more

Tipsy Tequila and Taco Bar - Gringo Taco - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Bayside, New York

I love the open air dining vibe especially during happy hour! The service was friendly but minimal, and the food was decent. Great spot for chatting and hanging out with bites and drinks, but not for amazing food. The wings (10) were a good size and juicy with wings and drummettes that were slathered with bbq sauce. The al pastor tacos were on the drier side and could benefit from some sauce or fruit inside, although adding some Cholula helped. The "gringo" beef birria was better, with a crunchy corn tortilla and flavorful beef with the consommé dip. If I come back, I'll have to try some drinks! They are presenting themselves as tequila-forward so I'll likely get a Margarita and share how it is. read more

Took over Pour House. They changed up the interior to fit a Tex Mex food truck vibe. There was one guy working, but he was very friendly and efficient. He let us know to sit wherever we wanted and he would be with us shortly. The owner John Ryan did come around (brought out my burrito) and was very friendly as well. I'm not a fan of tequila, so my drink of choice was the Sun Cruiser. They have a good variety of draft and bottles/cans. The Tipsy Nacho had a good amount of toppings layered throughout. The chips held up decently well. The Ultimate Bell Blvd Burrito with Beyond Meat was a bit bland with the rice but the ingredients are tasty. Ask for some hot sauce (Cholula Orginal and Green Pepper, and Tabasco Sriracha). It came with fries, which I didn't expect. The fries were crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. You can ask for some ketchup. Note: there seems to be a credit card surcharge (4%), so be aware of it! Overall a cool spot to hit if you're looking to watch a game and enjoy some filling Tex Mex and drinks. Don't expect authentic Mexican food. read more

Place was empty on a Sunday afternoon. Got a burrito bowl that was okay. The waitress was very friendly and chatty, she was the only positive. My margarita was awful (really really sour) so I didn't drink it but still got charged for it. The water tasted funny too. With so many other places on Bell this was not worth the money so won't go back. read more

This place has a great feel-mostly because of their open storefront. The staff is super friendly. People definitely come here for the drinks. The food is pretty good for a snack. The sweet plantains, chicken wings & empanadas are solid. The Cuban sandwich was okay. I don't like the pork being cubed up into little pieces. I do not recommend that sandwich, but I do recommend this place to gather, drink and nosh. read more

The food is great! The drinks are very good as well just pricey. Overall the atmosphere is very chill, and service is great

Was very excited to try Tipsy Tequila. Stopped in for dinner and drinks on a Friday evening after work. The drinks were great, but unfortunately the greatness stopped there. Service was incredibly slow - including ordering a drink and waiting 30 mins for it to come to the table, and only after reminding the wait staff. The food was okay - nothing to write home about - we had the nachos as an appetizer and a I had a chicken burrito. The chicken was interesting - more shwarma/gyro like than Mexican, and the rice in the burrito was flavorless. I will say the fries were out of this world delicious - super crispy. But what Mexican spot doesn't have guac available as an app?! Not opposed to trying again after they've been open a bit longer, but first visit didn't live up to expectations. read more

First time coming to this spot. I came here for date night with my boyfriend, it was a Wednesday night and the clouds were rolling in. Just as we arrived it started pouring rain, so we entered and picked our seat there were about 5 other tables fulled. The music was playing at a reasonable volume and plenty of TVs to watch the sports on. Bartender said hello and said she would be right with us. Barbara came over and took our drink order I ordered Prickly Pear Margarita and a Island Breeze both were delicious. She gave a few extra minutes to figure out what we will order. She was very friendly and accommodating. We finally decided on a chicken burrito which comes with fries and a pull pork sandwich with fries. The portions were big, I had trouble finishing my fries and so did my boyfriend. Our over all experience was good. Nice and friendly staff Barbara and Diane. Will be coming back again. This place was clean and the bathrooms are pretty big. Barbara and I chatted for a bit and she thanked me for stopping in and enjoying the rain storm with them. read more

Good service! Nice big margaritas and guac and chips were good too. Great addition to Bayside!

1 Star is one star too many. My girlfriend and I walked in at 6:40. There was no hostess so we stood there for more than a minute and wondered if we should sit anywhere or not. A lady (that was sitting at the bar!) finally comes up to us and tells us to sit anywhere. We confirm with her that we have 20 minutes left for happy hour. At 6:45, our server shows up and we order 2 margaritas, sweet plantains for an app, Gringo tacos and Impossible tacos. By 7:10, we still hadn't received our drinks (the entire place was only about 20% actually filled, if even that) and the hostess apologizes that the kitchen is backed up (why? it's not busy!). She says we're going to get free chips and guac. At 7:15, our app shows up and still no margaritas. We tell the server, she apologizes and says "the drinks are on the house." At 7:20, we finally get our drinks and a couple min later, our meals show up. The sweet plantains were over-cooked but edible. The margaritas were very watered down and didn't come with salted rims. Our tacos were dry and disgusting. The chips were bland. The guac was fine. If we had gotten our drinks within a fair amount of time, we might have ordered a second round which would have been more money for them. Their loss. While waiting for all that time, we noticed the 3 bartenders were barely working. Lots of cleaning glasses and drying them. Multiple times while eating, we noticed employees literally running out of the restaurant to buy supplies. One of them came back with a new bottle of Bacardi. It's Friday night and you don't have enough inventory? The hostess was always sitting at the bar when not sitting someone. The music was very weird. It's clearly branded as a Mexican food bar and it was blasting Eastern European club music at some point. Our server never checked up on us. We flagged her down for napkins and never got them. The place serves finger food and the only napkins we had were the ones wrapped around our silverware. We had to flag our server down to ask for the check. She brings it and the margaritas were on the check. We flagged her down again and reminded her of what she said earlier. She's apologetic, fixes it on her device and gives us a new check. After leaving the restaurant, I had the worst gas pains that resulted in me throwing up later that night. I have a strong stomach and don't remember the last time I threw up. Do not go here. read more

New fun spot on bell. Bartenders and super friendly and drinks are amazing! Get a spicy margarita from Tommy

Coming back here after years and knowing it by so many previous watering holes; Tipsy Tequila is a nice addition to the strip. Staff was so genuinely kind & made sure to check in, the drinks were on point (ask Jack for the Coconut Margarita- I was impressed at the care he took making each drink perfect!) and the food hit the spot. I know it's usually sacrilegious to eat crunchy tacos, but you know what, I cleaned my plate and will 100% be coming back to try out more dishes & cocktails! read more

This was my second visit, and unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the first experience. Most of the dishes were overly salty and dry this time around. The al pastor, which I really enjoyed on my previous visit, was especially disappointing. That said, the service remained excellent, friendly, and accommodating throughout. I just wish the kitchen had adjusted the menu or preparation a bit to maintain consistency. Hoping it was just an off day. read more

I took the opportunity to try a new place, Tipsy Tequila and Taco Bar, at the old Pour House location. I ordered the Chicken Gyro Taco soft shell ($7.50) with a can of Surside Vodka with Tea and Lemonade ($10.40). I enjoyed it very much. The service was great; the place was empty during the day on a weekday. The only negative was the cost of the can. Despite that, I would definitely go back. read more

Had a very fun night & great food in the neighborhood. All of the staff were super friendly and efficient ! :)

This place is very cute. The food is delicious especially their birria nachos and tacos so yum. The service is great. Friday nights are nice music is good. Great place to see any sports game. read more

I rarely write reviews so please take that into account when reading. I had the privilege to go to Tispy last night where I met a lovely bartender named, Tommy! Tommy ran that bar with such an aura that allowed him to not only provide fantastic service but also make phenomenal drinks. Everyone at this bar knew who "Tommy" was. He is just that guy that everyone loves to be around. If it were up to me I'd 100% give him a raise and 100% promote him. Tipsy would not be the same without him. read more

As a resident of the area I frequented this location when it was called Pour House. Sad to see that establishment go as it had a great staff, sports bar menu, and huge nightly crowds especially before COVID.It was nice to hear that we would have a Mexican joint in the area. However, it did not meet the expectations based off of the social media that Tipsy had posted. It seemed an authentic Mexican restaurant had come to town, but in fact it's still a sports bar masquerading with a" Mexican-like" look that is quite pour when you walk in. Barely any of the aesthetic fits the name of the restaurant. The establishment still is using the same layout as Pour House, including the same furniture and display of a dozen screens playing sports. The only addition is decorations and table mats inspired by Mexican culture. Put real Mexican culture, if it had been really researched, would not include these aesthetics such as a corona lime pinata. The menu items were disappointing. For a tequila bar it's expected you have the grandest selections not a small batch of the basic tequila and Mezcal options. Cocktail menu is boring and needs some creativity. This also includes the beer selection, which has some beer that is not necessarily what I would expect out of a Mexican restaurant. Then there's the menu which is lacking selection, but most importantly needs improvement from the chef and management. For instance, this is going to be a great place to come see the World Cup because of the many tv screens. But they're literally only going to come for that. Where's the engagement and marketing for happy hours or tequila tastings and floats. This place needs to pick up its game or it won't last like many in the neighborhood. The worst part is the ingredients used for most menu items. I know that times are rough now but never ever use Velveeta cheese in nachos! How lazy to not add real cheese.Why are chives used as a decoration on every plate when Mexicans don't use chives? The meats lack seasoning, but you do get a lime to squeeze and raw tomatoes on the side as a so-called salsa. Sad.I will give them the benefit of the doubt because they just opened recently and still have the time to make many improvements in order to have a line out the door and be fully booked on open table. This block in Bayside has had many businesses close. The location is a tricky one. I mean, no offense, but as a hospitality professional, this is merely my advice which must be brutally honest if you expect to stay open for very long. Until then I have no interest to revisit the location unless there's something tasteful to try, and an ambience that draws me in. read more
