" While the location is beautiful and the view stunning, I was disappointed by my meal at Tequila's. The chicken enchiladas lacked the bold flavors I'd expect from authentic Mexican cuisine; they felt bland. On the bright side, the fresh guacamole was excellent! The service was friendly, but again, they seemed overwhelmed, which showed. Maybe they were having an off night. I might consider trying something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to Tequila's was a mixed bag. The ambiance was fantastic, and I loved sitting outdoors with a view of the river. However, I felt the food could use more seasoning; the tacos I ordered were decent but not as flavorful as I expected from a Mexican restaurant. The staff were friendly enough, but service was a bit slow on a busy night. I might give it another shot, hoping they improve on the food quality. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had an amazing experience at Tequila's Waterfront! The outdoor seating was perfect for our group, and the riverside view made for a memorable dining experience. The food was authentic Mexican, and I particularly loved the shrimp fajitas; the flavors were vibrant and fresh. The service was attentive too – our server was charming and made excellent recommendations. Looking forward to our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience! The food was just out of this world. I had the birria tacos and they were delicious, served with the perfect dipping sauce. The service was quick given how crowded it was, and our server had great suggestions that enhanced our meal. Don't forget to try their frozen margaritas; they were refreshing and not too sweet! Overall, a place I wholeheartedly recommend for anyone looking for great Mexican food near the river! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chance to dine with friends at Tequila's this past weekend. Surprisingly, I found my order to be pretty mediocre. The chicken taquitos were far too greasy for my liking, though the guacamole was fresh. The service was fine, but I've had more attentive servers at other places. I might give it another shot but won’t prioritize it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tequila's Waterfront has an incredible location, right by the river! I loved the vibe, especially in the evening. The quesadillas were cheesy and the service was okay. However, I felt the food quality could have been better; the carne asada lacked that authentic touch and was pretty average. Still, we had a good time overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had high hopes for Tequila's but ultimately felt let down. The location is ideal for a nice evening out, but our interaction with our server was subpar. We had to remind her of our drink orders. The food was okay, but not worth revisiting, especially after spending so much. Very disappointing. " (*Curated Review*)
