    Booked their upstairs party room for a birthday celebration. They were very good at the food and drinks. Service from the actual staff was also attentive somehow at times it was rushed and dismissive. Come time to decorate and fix up the room i was given little flexibility. They would have someone come and open the door at 5 and not earlier. I mean, im not coming in for dinner... im booking a full event and paying four figure totals... not an $80 dollar check... I felt it was unfair as my booking started at 7:30 and it left me little room to decorate as i also had to get ready for my event. The room wasnt entirely clean, confetti and random unvaccuumed debris was visible. the vaccuum was leaned by the buffet table, stacked chairs and tables were visible as a background and the bar's main use seems to be storage room. For the seating : I had a floor plan and seating chart for my guests. I was expecting about 55 people. I requested 2 tables that could seat 10, 3 tables that could seat 6 and a table that could seat 8, a table of 4 and a table of 5.. Well it didnt matter what i requested because when i saw the room all the tables were 8 seaters. I spoke to the owner and he proceeded to tell me that if i wanted them certain way then to go, move tables, chairs, reset and fix them myself. I did personally hand him the seating chart and then again im the one paying you to have this done for me. Next issue. I asked to have access and use of the projector. The owner said that i needed to hire their dj for sound and audio as he was the one that handled that part. I agreed to the additional charge of $200 for a DJ as i had to absolutely show a slide for my guests. Come the day of, the DJ showed up late. It wouldnt have been an issue had the guy been able to set up the projector. He claimed the other DJ was the one with knowledge of this. I specifically told the owner I NEEDED the A.V sistem... months in advance. Again, he simply took the money and didnt seem to care. My slide was never shown. The dj had little knoledge of music and i found myself several times by the booth playing music with my phone because when the room would go silent he claimed he had bad signal.... lets keep in mind i actually paid and they took my money for the DJ. I had a total attendance of 43 guests. Come time to pay the check he claimed it was a minimum of 50 guests per party. This was never stipulated at any time during the booking. I felt robbed. I will most likely not book future events here and i will most definately not recommend booking this place. Maybe do a bit more diligence, look around for other places and even if a bit more has to be paid at other hall rentals it would most likely save disappointments, frustration and keep u from being taken advantage of.

    First time trying Tequila 55. It definitely won’t be our last. Decided to stop in on a Friday night, and even though they had a large party (25 people) we were seated and served quickly. The food and drinks were great. If you’re looking for a great local delight, this is it.

    My family eats here once a month- originally we were going to visit a different restaurant once a month but once we ate here we knew we found our spot. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is delightful, and the owner is incredibly sweet and friendly. It feels like coming home every month and each time we eat here it’s a better and better experience. I recommend this restaurant to everyone in my real life and thought I should give them a review online as well :)

    We went for dinner and ordered Grilled New York Style Steak with Mexican Adobo Rub, Sauttéed mushroom and onions and Beef Tongue in Green Tomatillo Sauce. The steak was cooked to perfection, it was tender, a generous size. The tongue beef was totally delicious. as well as the Margarita. Chilo, the owner is very friendly and attentive, prices are great. We'll definitely come back!

    I went there for a wedding back in July 2022 and I really like the atmosphere of the place. So I booked it to do my birthday party this past Sunday December 4, 2022. Excellent service!!! Food was super good. Martha was the bartender and let me tell you something she was just amazing, I think I drunk every cocktails lol!!. Miguel Angel was really good too, he was the server. Everyone that came to party was amazed by the service, food and cocktail!! Chilo the owner was really good too, he setup the menu and gave me a lot of options to choose from! First party was a success and it won't be the last one. Thank you very very much! God bless you all :)

    Amazing experience, flavors were on point. I would highly recommend the deluxe focaccia it was so flavorful with the cheese.

    Just an average restaurant. Had the mole. Had better. But moles are always a hit or miss even at the same restaurant.

    It was just fine, nothing extraordinary, but I also wouldn't say bad.. Chips and salsa's were good, the red has got quite the kick, just as we were warned! Ordered guac which came with a bunch of tortilla chips stuck into it to my surprise (I thought it would just be guac for use with the complimentary tortilla chips), the guac was a bit chunky and I prefer a more creamy guac. My wife's sopes were a little softer than she is used to - this could just be personal preference. I ordered steak fajitas, which while they were very tasty, I expected to come with actual tortillas and they didn't, just more tortilla chips stuck into my refried beans. I also suspect my margarita was made from a pre-mix rather than freshly made.

    The food is amazing and the prices are great. I used to go here every Monday. More recently the service has been kind of slow but other than that everything is great.
