Tacos and Tequila

I recently visited Tacos and Tequila, and while there were some good aspects, the experience was pretty mediocre overall. To start on a positive note, the food did come out hot and fresh, which is always appreciated. The menu items are priced reasonably at first glance, but be prepared for extra charges for almost everything--whether it's meat, sour cream, green chile, or other toppings, there's an extra fee. I ordered the chicken enchiladas, which had a decent flavor, but the dish overall tasted pretty plain. My boyfriend got a burrito, which he said was okay, but nothing special. He also ordered a birria taco, which looked amazing but was ultimately disappointing. The meat was dry, and even with the consomé, the taco lacked flavor. Given that the taco cost $16 and was pretty small, it felt overpriced. On the plus side, the vibe inside is cute, with a nice atmosphere that opens up to a cozy outdoor dining area. Our server was friendly and provided good service, which made the experience a bit better. However, the food quality didn't live up to the atmosphere, and the added costs for every little thing made the meal feel less like a good deal.

This is one of our favorite restaurants in Colorado. Everything on their menu is amazing but the carnitas tacos are my favorite. Awesome green chili, excellent queso, and the churro ice cream, OMG! Really though, this review is about one of our favorite people in our lives, Shauna. Shauna is more than just a great server/bartender. Her radiant energy brightens even the most gloomy days. She always makes sure we leave with full bellies and smiling faces. This restaurant would not be the same without her.

Was really excited to try this place. The service was slow to take an order, but the kitchen super fast. Both my wife and I enjoyed our drinks, and the bar aspect was the best part. The food was pretty meh and bland on flavor and my beef meat tough. Thankfully the chips and salsa were fantastic. Over all, kind of disappointed, but not the worse restaurant in the area.

Shauna is an amazing human and always makes every person who comes through feel like family. She spoils us each time we come in on Tuesday’s. My partner and I come to tacos and tequila not only for the amazing food but mainly to see our lovely lady Shauna. She has lifted us up after a rough day at work countless times. I’ve never been to an establishment with this kind of energy and atmosphere that Shauna has cultivated. Shauna I love you so much and am so grateful to have met you❤️ Lauren was our server tonight and she is amazing too! Thank you Shauna, Lauren, and the whole tacos and tequila team for everything that you do for the community❤️❤️❤️

Their food and drinks were tasty. However the bartender was not welcoming. He wasn't rude just didn't bother to engage. Another customer walked in an hour before closing. They asked if they are still opened.. the bartender said well with a pause then said you have an hour. Would I go back maybe?! Hospitality was not there.

This place has consistently very delicious, flavorful tacos. While they are on the expensive end for tacos at about $6 each, they are using high quality ingredients and filling them generously. The birria and shrimp tacos are my favorite. Be warned, many of them pack some heat (carne asada, chipotle crema, etc)! Happy hour details aren't posted online, but it is $5 margs, $1 off drafts, $2 off wine, and $5 chili rellenos & chili cheese fries. The other thing to note is they are extremely understaffed - both times I was there the bartender was responsible for the entire restaurant (orders and making drinks), a food runner, and someone in the kitchen. Oh and if it's important to you - bathrooms are single-person and wheelchair accessible.

My name is Womack, Tap tue owener knows my husband well and me. We are great customers of the castle and all of his restaurants. We are super delighted to see his businesses expand and do absolutely amazing! I must say that Tacos and tequila is one of my new favorite spots to hang out at and Mercedes is absolutely amazing she runs the entire facility and knows exactly what she's doing she's great nothing but good to say about her and then entire staff here

This was a very good experience. They still have their doors open, and there were still some customers inside that were finishing their meals. We arrived five minutes before they close. They still served us like they had just opened. They took care of us and did not just bring us our food, but made sure that I drinks were still filled or food extremely fast. I know that it is hard to serve customers that come in that last five minute window. If I would’ve noticed most likely, I would not have come in, but this was definitely a great experience because of the service and because of the preparation that they put into the food that they brought to us I will definitely be going back again.

Birria bowl was top notch! Also ordered carnitas tacos and also smelled and taste amazing!! Prices were reasonable even for this day and age Certainly coming back!

Crazy that we came in for the cocktails only. The tacos that we saw being delivered looked yummy, so we will be adding this to our "gotta go back" list. I'm a spice fan and loved their spicy jalapeño marg along with their house marg. Both were great.

Very good food. Had the nachos with ground beef. Service was outstanding. Very attentive and consistent.

Tacos are delicious. Birria Taco was amazing. Drinks could use more alcohol though. Felt like homemade. Very cool environment.

First time here and was pleasantly surprised by the food and cocktails; flavors were great and the Spicy Strawberry Margarita was delicious. The place is small though and we had to sit outside even going early - or so we thought - at 5:30. What I was not impressed with was the bill. The tipping options are the 'normal' percentages but in dollar amounts and if you pay with a credit card there is a fee. My friend couldn't get the Scan to Pay to work and they insisted on charging her despite their system being down.

we really enjoyed the ambience and atmosphere. despite the location - it's not where you'd expect to find anything near authentic mexican fare - we were pleasantly surprised and impressed with the flavor of our food. the birria bowl was so good and the tacos de lengua, al pastor, & birria tacos were bombastic. the tortilla and melted cheese on the birria taco made it that much more scrumdiddleeumpshuss! although it was five o'clock somewhere when we visited, i wasn't in the mood for a cocktail, but the paloma was so scandalously tempting. i shall have that next time! the service was fast and friendly, btw.

The grilled tilapia was flavorless and it was drenched in a creamy sauce that is not mentioned on the menu. The service was lack luster and I found myself trying to engage the bartender to make my quick lunch more pleasant. There was nothing that will inspire me to go back for a second visit.

We love to come in and see Shauna at the Southglen location. she always has a great attitude and happy to see us kind of smile. she is fast and happy to serve. Her funny humor keeps us coming back. Not to mention those spicy margaritas and amazing rellenos! The ambiance is good too. lol

We've visited twice now and I am always wishing for something more. It's a small menu, which is ok if everything is tasty, but it's just ok. Shrimp taco is probably the favorite of all I've tried. I found the birria lacking as well as the pastor. The relleno is all breading with just a tiny chile. The nachos are pretty good. But if you add meat it's going to set you back $20 and they're not that special. I wanted to love this place because it's so close and I'm desperate for great Mexican nearby. But- it's just ok. House marg is serviceable.

I went in with my sons. Birria taco, chile relleno with a margarita. The Birria quesadilla looks good.

THE BEST MARGARITAS IVE EVER HAD. Can't name a restaurant or bar that does them better. Happy hour is too hard to resist there. The service is amazing, I love seeing their same staff members. The restaurant itself is really cool looking. Food is always delicious. love love love this place. And did i mention that their margaritas are to die for???

Quick service and bar tender was fast with the drinks!!! Food was great! You really couldn't ask for anything more. Great selection for a kids menu as well.

Monday has all day $5 margarita specials. Bartender served most of the restaurant. Happy hour specials everyday. Solid spot.

My go to drink spot in centennial especially for margs! They're well priced especially during happy hour and always delicious. The restaurant has a fun ambience and the servers are amazing!

If you're in the SouthGlenn mall area, you must check out this new hot spot from the owners of The Castle! This is a perfect little quaint spot to just chill w friends, watch games, and enjoy some good tequila & mezcal. As soon as you walk in, you can see there are plenty of seating areas from the plush soft comfy are booths to the high tops in the middle. Even better, you can chill at the bar or sit on the patio & people watch. The staff here are freaking amazing and just a thrill to be around because you can tell they love what they do. Shit I thought they were serving shots of permagrin the way the servers & bartenders walk around around so dam happy. But once you sit down, you can see why they have permagrins; ambiance is amazing! You're greeted with a beautiful smile & menu saying how may I help you or is this your first time joining us. (WOW customer service isn't dead post covid-19) As always, I start w/ a beautiful mezcal, then look over the menu like my selection will change......no it didn't. I got the Flip Flamingo special; Shrimp, Lengua, Birra tacos (Yes, I did just invent a special named after me!!!) Don't forget to add mezcal & side splash of gingerale/ginger beer. These tacos are fantastic. Hands down THE BEST LENGUA TACOS IN COLORADO I have had ever!!! The Lengua tacos are accompanied by thin habanero slices and red onion and just melt in ya mouth on contact. My mouth couldn't stop dancing. The shrimp is just as good. Then you hit up the butter soft queso birra tacos w/ consommè . I have sat in all their seating locations to see if the tacos would change, but no its fantastic no matter where you sit. I would warn you if you sit & orange booths & have the lengua & birra tacos you're going night night because you're in heaven. The cherry on top was the great service by our smiling & attentive server, Courtney; she was on it! I can absolutely say I'm a regular now & it's only been like 2 weeks. This will definitely be the hottest spot this summer in SouthGlenn hands down, the only thing that will be able to cool them down a bit is getting ice cream next door, bc they are on fire here!!! Otherwise, stop in for some great tacos & tequila (no pun intended). They have other drinks also, margaritas, beer, martinis, bears, oh my! My go-to Allstars so far are Sweet EJs Honey, Spicy Pina Mezcaland Mezcal Mule.

We love this place! Great tacos and then there is Brittany! She's awesome! Friendly and efficient! Yes, you need to come here!

Shauna did an excellent job taking care of our party of 5 and our food was crazy delicious! Two of us ordered the birria quesadilla- maybe the best thing I've ever eaten! Enchiladas's were awesome, as was the mega-cheesy burrito. We will definitely be back!

Server's attitude was so bad that the bartender bought me a drink, food was cold, margarita was good, happy hour seemed decent

I have been to tacos and tequila three times now. All three times the food has been amazing, margaritas, phenomenal, and service by Shauna has been exceptional all 3 visit. thank you, Shana for making our friends birthday so special. We love supporting a local restaurant and guess what? We will be back tomorrow for taco Tuesday.

Love this place! Shauna was our server and was so attentive and fun! Those margs, yummy! Thanks for a great experience. We will be coming back!

We tried Tacos and Tequila based on reviews others had left, raving about the Chile Rellano's and we also tried the Quesadilla. I can not rate either dish as tasty, or anything close to what the taste should be. This is the worse than bar food, b/c it doesn't identify as anything else! I should have sent it back. And the tables were sticky, had to move twice. Ewwwe

All I can say is WOW!!!! I love coming in to Tacos and Tequila. The service is EXCEPTIONAL and especially Shauna. She knows my order by heart and is always so welcoming and helpful. The spicy Jalapeño margarita is my go to drink and you must try their chicken nachos. So so so good. Keep rocking Tacos and Tequila.

Best corn dawg quesadilla on this side of the Mississippi. Service was sublime (with Rome).

Service is very good. Everything we've had is awesome. Happy hour chili rejanos are a $5 steal!!

That was a waist of my time and money , I went off the reviews of this place being the best in town it's obvious one of the owners wrote that . No flavor over priced no type of deals chipotle is better than this place literally wish I went there black beans were nasty and the rice was hard and had line as the flavor it was better off just being plain white rice I don't recommend this place at all

Love this place! Last time we were there, there was a drunk lady who yelled at me. But that happens I guess. Not the restaurants fault. One minute you are having a taco and the next you are being harassed. I never said one thing to her. It is a bar I guess. Tequila is in the name haha...

Awesome food. Good people. Been back to try different mix on the food and hasn't let me down yet. Cool environment. Nice to sit outside

Excellent fresh food and wonderful tequila selection and cocktails. We had the nachos and carne asada tacos and I had a hibiscus margarita. Nice end to Mothers Day. Want to come back for happy hour! Highly recommend.

Hidden gem in the Streets of Southglenn, fantastic happy hour, staff, food and drinks. Amazing decor!

My husband and I just enjoyed a fantastic lunch here. We were excited to see a new place open in Southglenn so had to pop in. Great ambiance and music, delicious food. The Birria (basically Mexican pot roast if you haven't had it before) was our favorite by far. We'll definitely be back. The owner also owns The Castle and Rusty Tapp so they know what they're doing.

Always a good experience. Delicious food (love the verde salsa!), excellent homemade margaritas, fabulous customer service.

The food is delicious, the bartender Nick very knowledgeable about the menu the tacos and smothered fries with carne asada on top my favorite!! Give this place a try,highly recommend!!

Great salsa, tacos and $6 margaritas. What more do you need?!? Always consistent and nice staff too.

This place is an ABSOLUTE rip off. $86 for three double don Julio reposados and soda??? That's more expensive than Aspen. That's ridiculous!!! No wonder places are closing left and right down here. Jesus

The tacos were pretty bomb. Honestly I would have given this place a better rating if I didn't try their elotes, which, I don't even know why they would offer them (the elotes were terrible). starting off with the elotes made us a little skeptical about how the tacos would taste, but they were all pretty good! It was honestly nice finding some good birria tacos close by

The birria was a great warm meal on a cold day. Service was friendly and very attentive. The decor is very cute and adds to a fun girls lunch.

The shrimp tacos are absolutely deliciou, but the real highlight of our visit was the top notch service! Shauna is attentive, quick and had great suggestion!

This might be the best food I've ever had in my life. I just came into pick up my take out and I was greeted by their lovely staff. Next time, I'm going to dine in. 10/10

Great location with quality food and service. Only knock was that my tacos were warm while other plates were scalding hot.

Excellent food, drinks and service. My house margarita was really good - not cloyingly sweet like in some places - and my carnitas burrito was huge, flavorful and tender. Service was great and the space is nice and comfortable.

The food is really good here and the staff is great. We had a party of two however and we were charged an automatic 20% gratuity. We were only there for about an hour. We got a burrito a few tacos and a few drinks I've seen automatic or opportunity for a large party, but I've never seen it at a normal place with two people eating. Did anybody else get charged automatic or always 20% so I didn't because I was gonna tip 20% anyway but I didn't think it was to automatically charge it and I didn't see it posted anywhere.

Run to this place and belly up to the bar! $5 margs, chili rellenos and chili cheese fries during happy hour!! Delish! The tacos great! Buy two get one free on Taco Tuesdays!! What not to love? Great staff, great service, awesome food, margs that make you cry of happiness!

I would recommend this place with my eyes closed!!! As soon as you walk in they great you with a smile. They are great and the food is amazing! Always feels like A fresh cooked meal! 10/10

House Margarita is super disappointing. Served in a stemless wine glass, 3/4 ice and super sweet.

BEST Birria EVER - I dream about their birria bowls - this place is such a hidden gem. Staff is so friendly. Decor is fabulous. The food is ridiculous - so incredibly good. I think it's the best Mexican food we've ever had. Ordering from this place again tonight to go! It's fun to eat in though - great atmosphere!!!

It is worth the effort to find your way to this gem of a restaurant located in Centennial at the Streets of SouthGlenn shopping area. The impressive selection of tequilas and mezcals, plus the atmosphere and service, make it the perfect spot for a quick beverage or spend more time and enjoy the delicious food. Brittany was behind the bar when we stopped by. She's amazing! Fun, great attitude, was working like crazy making sure everyone in the restaurant was happy. She makes amazing margaritas and the mezcal mules were smoky deliciousness. Definitely stopping by again soon!

Tacos and Tequila is a great addition to Southglenn! The atmosphere is fun & lively with beautiful murals. The tacos and drinks are tasty. The bartender and server were attentive and made our drinks just as desired. This is a great place for a girl's night out, a family dinner or to grab a bite at the bar while you watch the game. I'm excited for warmer weather and enjoying their patio.

Their ambiance is gorgeous! The service was great too but the food was disappointing l. Tacos were unoriginal and bland and my rellano came out with the cheese unmelted on the inside. I hope it's just a bit of growing pains!

Third time visiting since it opened . Want to love it. First two visits were pretty strong- good service and yummy food. Last night, they were slammed and not ready for it. Everything became mediocre at best. Slow service (margs took over 10 minutes), no water refills, forgot to put in order for chips and queso until a reminder 10 minutes later. The most disappointing part (because we are happy they are busy) was the the fish tacos ($6 a taco) were bland and just not worth it. Think the slaw they use was directly out of the bag and very little fish. Bummer for a Friday night. Hope they shore things up.
