" I had high hopes for Whiskey Taco based on the reviews, but my visit was mediocre at best. The portions were smaller than anticipated, especially for the price. I ordered the carne asada tacos and while they looked great, they lacked flavor and the meat was slightly chewy. The place had a nice vibe and the drinks were good, but the food didn’t match the hype for me. I probably won’t be back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally made it to Whiskey Taco after hearing such great things, but I must admit, I was slightly disappointed. The tacos I ordered were good, but not the authentic Mexican taste I expected. The smoky BBQ flavor was nice but didn’t quite hit the spot. On the other hand, the staff were friendly and the ambiance was delightful. I might try it again, but I won't rush back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Being quite the taco enthusiast, I had high expectations for Whiskey Taco and I was pleased! The atmosphere set the mood just right with its festive decor. I tried the pulled pork shred tacos and the sweet potato waffle fries which nearly stole the show! Such a creative menu combination! My only wish was for larger portion sizes. Nonetheless, a great experience overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Whiskey Taco has become a weekly tradition for me and my friends! We adore the rotating specials that keep things exciting. Recently, I tried the pulled pork chimichanga and it was incredible; just the right amount of heat! Plus, the Latin-inspired cocktails are crafted to perfection. The staff is always welcoming, making us feel right at home. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Whiskey Taco on a date night recently and it hit all the right notes. The ambiance is perfect for a relaxed evening out; not too loud and very pleasant. The food was so good—my favorite was the chili lime shrimp tacos! I also tried their spicy margarita, and wow, what a fantastic pairing! The staff was friendly, and we never felt rushed. Will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" For a casual night out, Whiskey Taco definitely delivered! I loved the ambient lighting and the friendly vibe. We ordered a variety of tacos, the dragon being my favorite. I enjoyed how fresh everything tasted, but I do think the tacos could have used a bit more seasoning. The service was fast and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. Definitely give it a shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Whiskey Taco three times in the past month, and I can't get enough! Each time, I've ordered their signature Whiskey BBQ Taco. It's smoky and flavorful. It pairs well with a fresh, fruity cocktail - I can’t recommend the drinks enough! The service is always great, and the atmosphere makes it the perfect spot to unwind after a long week. Love it!
