    New place in the neighborhood and stopped in after dinner for a night cap and was very pleasantly surprised. Had heard they had some opening "pains" but didn't see any of that this evening. Both Augie and Martha did an excellent job describing the drinks and the food choices (we only had chips and salsa). I got the Jalisco Old fashioned and my wife got the Henney Coco Horchata, which is made with coco puffs! Both were delicious! Looking fwd to coming back and trying the food options off the menu. Hours are 4pm till midnight but then to 2am on the weekends.

    Definitely my new weekend spot! The food, drinks and music/vibe were on point! I had a medium well Tampiqueña, that was cooked to perfection, served with guac, salsa, rice & beans, tortillas, enchilada and to tie it all in together i had a Cucumber Tóxica drink that was so refreshing but also had the right amount of liqour in it, that I had to order a 2nd and 3rd one! The staff was extremely nice and made sure to check up on me in case I needed anything they also greeted me in a warm welcoming way, something that is extremely rare now a days! If you’re looking for good food, drinks, people and music (Reggaetón) this is the spot! I would recommend it to any of my friends and even my neighbors 🤝 and I’ll definitely be coming back!

    I attended a birthday brunch on a Sunday and it was an ok experience. The music was good, the drinks were ok (we had mimosas, felt more juice than champagne) and the food was good. It did take longer than expected and a bit of mix up on the plates. They immediately helped us and got our right plates. I would recommend to be there early because after 1ish it did get full. Also the parking is kind of bad, not too many spaces and I parked in the street. I was a bit worried if I would get a ticket.

    Amazing atmosphere. Came at lunch time and it was not to busy. Bartender was on point and always watched if we needed anything else. He was very quick. Food was delicious. We got the TQLA Flight. Definitely recommend. Also got the Carne A La Tampiquena. Steak was perfectly seasoned and tender. I'm recommending many to come. Looking forward to the night life there.

    I will first say that if I'm going to drop 400+ dollars I should be having a great service and a very good time. I will say that the food & drinks were very good. The only thing I did like was the fact that my waitress Agua or Acua was rude in the way she said we only had 2 hrs to eat & drink and she would keep track of the time. First, they are extremely busy and it takes about 30min to get something to drink plus everything else takes even longer. So, in reality, you only have 1+hr to eat & drink. Now to pay all that money and literally have them show you the exit is not a place I want to spend my money on. The fact that you have a group of people that came in before you and they are not being told to leave seems to me like a double standard. My money will go a restaurant that is really appreciates my business.

    The only one there. Took 10 minutes to get attention. Chips were all smashed, like they were from the bottom of the bag. Placed order and it took another 20 minutes to get my food, which was way over seasoned. Then waited again for my bill, while the waitress was busy texting. Really disappointed here.

    I normally love this place and overlook the higher prices because the food/staff/atmosphere are good so whatever but I ordered and drink from their new menu. $13 for this drink in a bag that I couldn’t put down. I told the waitress “this is cute but super annoying.” She responded “yea girl I hate that drink it’s the worst.” AFTER SHE RECOMMENDED IT! Coulda been an off day, she wouldn’t come back to our table until she had something to drop off.

    Went here for dinner on a Monday night. I posted a photo of the Carne Fries. That was a serious platter of deliciousness. We couldn’t finish it plus our meals so it probably would be better for more than 2 people. Or get that and split an entree. Also got the kids quesadilla, chips and salsa, enchiladas, cucumber margaritas, and carne asada tacos. Everything was delicious and the server was great!

    The vibe is really good, we had steak tacos and they were amazing 👏 the music was good not a boring moment at all! Not to mention the service from front door to table service to the servers were all 10 stars! I will definitely be returning and telling the world about this place! Positive vibes ✨️

    So glad we tried this Mexican restaurant in Westmont. Super fun, contemporary, eclectic setting. A lot of Pink, but in a fun way, not overwhelming. Great open feeling with sliding patio doors that open onto the outdoor patio. Probably the best tortilla chips and salsa I've ever had! ❤️👍 Steak taco plate was delicious and filling. Tho a bit pricey at $18 for 2 tacos a small bowl of rice and black beans. Steak burrito was tasty as well. Only negative was no one (server, waitresses) ever cleared out plates. Came to our table several times but never cleared them. Maybe there is a reason 🤷 Otherwise, would go back to try another menu item

    This place is a great vibe. I have been twice now and will definitely return. Have been there for lunch and dinner. After a certain time the lights go off and the DJ is lit! Staff is wonderful and the food is amazing!! Drinks are delicious!!! Went for a friends birthday and they brought out sparklers and a shot of tequila for her 😊 Can’t wait for the next outing 💃🏽

    Jose did a GREAT job taking care of us. We celebrated our friends bach here. Reservations highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Christy R. 1 year ago on Google
    Went here to celebrate after our sons wedding. The atmosphere and music was on point. The tacos had amazing flavor, the drinks were different but tasty. The price was pretty normal ..not expensive ..not cheap. We were with a big party so the service seemed a little slow for just the food but we were the only people in there. The drinks came out with a flash. I can't wait to go back and just hang out there. It's the type of place you can hang with your girls and take silly pics with good drinks all day.. or go with your man and dive into the tacos with all the flavor!!

    Went in for dinner after work on Friday. Place was packed very lively. Dj spinning. Food was ok, pretty busy. Drinks were good.

    Found this place on instagram. SO cute!! shrimp tacos and steak fajita YUM and the chips and salsa they serve SO good! Also had a mango margarita and my friend got a sangria everything was delicious. Right when we we were about to leave they open up their patio and there is a DJ every Friday and Saturday really good hip hop raggeaton selection! Definitely coming back for a night adventure

    Beens were very good alot of taste...Red salsa with chips were bomb.. Virgin margarita was good as well¡ Enchilada was very cold like it just came out of the fridge. Meet was ok for Medium rare when I ask for well done. Tortillas very small preferred regular dry tortillas for this meal tho... Also ordered the chicken flautas I don't recommend. Just my opinion!

  • 5/5 Jessica A. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was delicious! Our server Kirsten was awesome! She made sure our dine in experience was amazing and she did a good job doing so. Not only was she our server but she prepared our drinks as well and the drinks were AMAZING! We will definitely be back and hope we get the same service as we did tonight. Thank you Kirsten!!!

    To start off I was greeted politely when stepping in. The ambiance was great for a Sunday evening, had great decorations for the season as well. The food was good and the drinks were even better. The staff was also very polite snd helpful. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good time

  • 5/5 Kemberly A. 1 year ago on Google
    10/10 recommend ! Such a cute place to have good drinks and the food is amazing! Our bartender was fast, friendly and checked on us as soon as she seen our drinks were almost gone. First time visiting and will definitely be coming back!

    We loved our meal and drinks at TQLA! I wouldn't normally rave about tortilla chips, but when I tell you that they have the BEST freshly made tortilla chips, I'm not kidding. THE BEST. We had the flautas trio (delicious) and the pastor tacos were on point. We went on a weekend when they had a live DJ. The vibe was really fun. I would definitely recommend it.
