Consistently good food the Baja shrimp is so amazing! I wish they added it to their online pick up menu. My baby enjoyed the beans and my mom enjoyed the shrimp soup. I added pictures of all the menus, since the pictures on yelp are outdated.

Tequila Taqueria is a bit of a hidden gem. It's not in the best area, and parking can be a challenge sometimes, but you know the food is legit when you see locals and Mexicans dining here. The food has always been amazing--authentic, flavorful, and worth the trip. The only downside is the noise level. Whether it's live music, karaoke, or the DJ, it's always very loud, which can be a turnoff for some people. We love the food enough to brave it, but if they could just lower the volume to a more reasonable level, I think this place would be a lot busier. If you don't mind the noise, you're in for some incredible food!

A friend introduced me to this spot one night after the gym because she was craving ceviche. Let me tell you! Their ceviche here is bomb.com. Ever since going here, whenever I crave ceviche, this is the place that pops into my head. This spot is lively and seemingly always busy! Even when we go on weekdays, there is sometimes a wait. As long as I know that going in, I have no problem waiting. They even have bands come into the restaurant! Oh, my goodness. This place is just a good time all around! Their micheladas are enormous. Definitely need to go back soon. I liked the burrito I got from them too, but their ceviche was definitely a stand out.

If you order the shrimp cocktail, you don't need to order anything else because it's huge!!! Service was friendly. I heard they have mariachi on weekends but maybe I was there too early.

Great food presentation. Huge portions. Always packed with people who are smiling which says a ton for its reputation I've been in and out of here delivering and have seen this place completely packed with people waiting in line. The plates are huge. The food is just WOW! So today is my day to treat my family to this awesomeness. I couldn't wait to try it! I got the asada tacos and they were delicious. The meat was super tender and it appears the tortillas are hand made. Everything was fresh. The green salsa had the right amount of tang and not too spicy. There were burritos and quesadillas and chilaquiles on our list and every single one is just amazing. Portions were split in half for two meals. I'm definately coming back here. I would have to say this is the best Mexican restaurant I've been to in the area. Everyone is really nice and the high and fast paced energy while serving food that is "sit and enjoy every bite", is wonderful. Thank you for showing up in this town. Love love love your food

Very clean restaurant, good music, timing on delivery of food was excellent. Good customer service. The only thing that I would suggest is more clear entrance. At first it says you will be seated, but then can pick a seat, they bring you a menu, also not very much follow up on how to pay your bill. Took a bit to get someone to come over to charge our bill. Food was good! portion sizes were really good as well. Rice had a different flavor than what I'm used to, but overall pretty good Mexican food.

This place was such a vibe! We somehow came during happy hour and karaoke night. So many happy people just singing their hearts out. It was great but the food was even better! I enjoyed the fried fish (Mojarra Frita), crispy on the outside and nice and flakey on the inside. This portion was huge and could feed two people. I also tried Mexican sushi for the first time too. I liked how it had unique flavors and sauces. One thing that stood out to me was both entrees came with avocado! In this economy?! Wow that's great! Another funny incident we stumbled upon was when we ordered micheladas and since it was happy hour they each came with a free beer on the side! I was so full I couldn't drink mine but it was a happy coincidence for sure. Staff were super friendly and checked in on us a couple of times. They had such good energy. Will definitely be back!
