" Had a mixture of positive and negative experiences here. The drinks were fantastic, but my food didn't meet expectations. I ordered the burrito and felt it lacked seasoning, which is unusual for this place. The atmosphere was full of energy due to the live music, but it was too noisy to hold a conversation comfortably. Swinging back for the cocktails, but hoping for more consistent food quality next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Couldn’t have asked for better service! They were incredibly accommodating to our large group. We had a mix of dishes, and the presentation of the food was lovely. Although I found my plate a bit under-seasoned, the texture of the food was perfect. I definitely recommend the margaritas! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time visiting Tequila's, and I was really impressed! The variety on the menu is great, and I loved how they emphasize fresh ingredients. The live music made it even better! I tried the chilaquiles, which were delicious—definitely coming back to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" An incredible place for authentic Mexican food! The portions are generous and the flavors are fantastic. I highly recommend the seafood dishes, they are a true representation of traditional recipes. The atmosphere can get loud, but it adds to the vibrant dining experience. Will definitely be returning for another meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit, I am impressed by the consistency of the food. The burritos are enormous and delicious, perfect for sharing! The decor adds a charming touch to the dining experience. The only downside I have to mention is that the music sometimes gets really loud, which can be a bit off-putting when you’re trying to enjoy your meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" The highlight of my evening was definitely the live band playing traditional Mexican music while we dined. The food was well-made and very flavorful! I had the shrimp fajitas and they were cooked just right. The prices were reasonable, reflecting the quality of the meal. I recommend coming early to get seated on busy nights! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very disappointed this time! I had been here previously and loved it, but my recent visit was not up to par. The food tasted reheated and lacked freshness. I will give it another chance, hoping they returned to their original standards. On a positive note, the service staff was still fantastic. " (*Curated Review*)
