" TQLA is a cute spot for brunch with friends. The shrimp tacos were fantastic, with fresh flavors and the perfect crunch! The decor was vibrant and uplifting. Our server was friendly but a little slow at times. Overall, I had a great experience and would come back, especially for their drink specials on the weekends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came to TQLA with high hopes after hearing rave reviews from friends, and I wasn’t disappointed! The food had robust flavors, especially the tacos, which were perfectly seasoned. The decor was chic and maintained a festive vibe, making it a perfect spot for dinner. My only complaint would be the wait for seating; I suggest making a reservation next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner here! While the food was generally tasty, I expected more authenticity considering the name. The drinks were incredible, very refreshing. Service was friendly but slightly slow, but they made up for it with their friendliness. I’d still recommend it for its atmosphere and drinks, just be prepared for a wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit TQLA, I leave satisfied. The consistent quality of the food is remarkable, especially the carne asada tacos. The decorations are vibrant, enhancing the lively atmosphere. Service could be hit or miss depending on the crowd, but I've always had a friendly server. Strongly suggested for a fun evening out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Not my best experience. While the atmosphere was peppy, I was disappointed in the service quality. Our server felt rushed and we had a long wait for our food. The tacos I ordered were alright but not very filling. I think I’ll try another place before returning, although the margaritas were spot on! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to TQLA was really fun! The staff at the bar were quick to serve us and the vibe was electric. We absolutely loved the carne asada fries—one of the best! My friends enjoyed the margaritas, especially the fruity flavors. The only downside was the noise level; it was pretty loud. Overall, would return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" TQLA has a fun exploration of flavors! My family and I sampled numerous dishes, and we loved everything. The shrimp tacos stood out for their freshness and taste. However, the prices are somewhat on the higher side, but considering the quality of food and experience, it's reasonable. I’ll definitely come back with friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)
