" I was drawn to this restaurant due to the promising online reviews. While I enjoyed my visit, it didn't entirely meet my expectations. The décor is charming, and the ambiance is fun and relaxed. However, the fish tacos were overly breaded, drowning out the fish flavor, which disappointed me. Service was friendly, but food took longer to arrive than anticipated. Overall, I'd recommend it for a casual night out but would suggest being cautious with the fish dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Tequila & Taco based on feedback from friends, but sadly, my visit didn't live up to the hype. While the vibe was enjoyable, the food was just overly average. The tacos I tried lacked seasoning, and the portions didn’t quite satisfy my hunger. I think I prefer more authentic options elsewhere. The service was friendly, though. " (*Curated Review*)

" Enjoyed a pleasant evening at this lovely taco spot! The decor is upbeat and colorful, creating a fun dining environment. I had the chicken Diablo taco, and it was packed with flavor! Topped it off with some churros, which were just heavenly. Service was quick and friendly, making our overall experience even better. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great meal with friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! I am in love with this place! The ambiance and energy are just perfect. I had the birria tacos, and they were so incredibly rich in flavor, paired beautifully with the smoky salsa. Definitely don't skip over the churros for dessert—they were heavenly! Service was outstanding, and the staff seemed to genuinely enjoy their job. I'm eager to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tequila & Taco has easily become one of my favorite spots! I’ve been twice now, and every time, the food has impressed me. The birria tacos are ridiculously good—so flavorful and satisfying. The outdoor seating is a major plus, especially on nice evenings. The service is quick, friendly, and always smiling. Definitely a place worth visiting if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful dining experience! I took my family here, and we were all impressed by the variety of choices on the menu. I personally loved the fish tacos, which were crispy and had the right amount of seasoning. My husband enjoyed the carnitas, which he said melted in his mouth. The chips and guacamole were fantastic as well! The service was fast, and the atmosphere was vibrant yet casual, making it a good place for families. We'll be sure to return regularly! " (*Curated Review*)

" We loved our night at Tequila & Taco! The nachos were perfect for sharing, and the portions were generous. The spiciness was on point for me, not overwhelming but enough to enjoy. Our server was attentive and helped us select from the menu—she knew exactly what to recommend! Can't wait to dine here again soon. A gem in the city! " (*Curated Review*)
