" I had an incredible experience at The Drunken Worm! The shrimp tacos were bursting with flavor, and the margaritas were perfectly balanced. The atmosphere is vibrant and full of life, making it an ideal place for a casual night out or to celebrate something special. The staff was friendly and attentive, which really made our evening enjoyable. I can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" How have I not known about this place sooner? The atmosphere is amazing and the food is even better. I could have eaten the worm dip all day. The service was a little slow, which was frustrating, especially on a busy night, but the quality of the food made up for it. I would definitely come back in a heartbeat. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been hearing about The Drunken Worm for ages, so I decided to visit with some friends. What a treat! The food is delicious and comes out hot. The ambiance is vibrant, and I love that they have a great selection of tequilas. My only issue is the service can be spotty at times, but I can overlook that for tasty food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Despite the fun atmosphere and delicious infused margaritas, my last visit was marred by inattentive service. The server seemed overwhelmed and neglected us, leading to significant waiting times. However, the food we ordered, including the birria tacos, was excellent, which makes it hard to give a low rating. I am hopeful that my next experience is better! " (*Curated Review*)

" One of my go-to spots for a fun night out! The happy hour is a steal, and the margaritas always leave you wanting more. Light bite options are delightful too, particularly the nachos! While the service can be a little erratic, it adds to the laid-back vibe. Definitely grab a seat outside during warm evenings. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the ambiance is nice and the margaritas are tasty, I found the food to be less authentic than I had hoped for. The nachos were huge and offered great flavor, but they felt more like bar food than traditional Mexican cuisine. Service was decent, but a bit slow during peak hours. I'd give it another try though, especially for happy hour specials! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you crave a fun, laid-back spot to enjoy tacos and margaritas, this is it! The food was amazing, and the margaritas had great flavor. Service was decent; our server was friendly, just a bit flustered during peak hours. The outdoor patio seating is a plus! It certainly has become one of my go-to places. " (*Curated Review*)
