Tequila Taqueria

Don’t waste your time, not good, very expensive and basically a ripoff. $ 10 for half a cup of guacamole? Steak tacos had no flavor, Margs were good but weak and small for $ 11, free chips and salsa? Nope $ 5. $ 200 dinner for four that sucked

We stopped in here to get a bite to eat when we first flew in. It’s Vegas everything is overpriced. It’s kind of sad it didn’t used to be years and years ago. We really like the nachos here they were really feeling and really good. Like I said drinks and food are overpriced. Our waiter was perfect. Fairly easy to get to. And other selections nearby.

Terrible service
Husband is active duty military & my father is a disabled vet. Upon arrival we asked if they had a military discount, manager informed us that he would check but never came back. When the waitress came to the table we tried again and decided to ask her. She says she will check with her manager and let us no… again no response. When the check came, AGAIN we asked informing her that she and her manager had forgotten. At this time she says she will ask her manager. After a short time, she comes back and says «sorry he said no». Then proceeds to take our bills and charges the wrong bill to the wrong card. When explained to her that it was wrong she blew it off with a «Sorry! Have a nice day». When we decided to address the fact that the manager didn’t have the eggs to come to our table and tell us that they didn’t do anything for military he says oh, I was gonna do it but that at this time he couldn’t do anything because the bill had already been paid and couldn’t refund anything. My husband doesn’t expect to get discounts anywhere however it doesn’t feel very well when someone serves and doesn’t even get the respect of a face to face «No» and you instead send your staff whom even admitted that he told her to go and tell us because he didn’t want to. $ 100 wasted on BS Mexican. Chicken enchiladas had no flavor, salsa verde simply tasted like lime, and some sort of other weird grass like taste. Only thing that was good were the fries. Will never return and would’ve walked out had we not already ate appetizer

Came for happy hour margaritas, the $ 20 pitcher is much less than a pitcher, especially compared to the picture they use to advertise it. We did not stay for a meal, but the chips and salsa with the $ 6 extra for guacamole were not worth the $ 12.
2 stars for a bad happy hour experience, but can’t say anything about the food.

Some of the worse, actually the worse Mexican food I’ve ever had. I ordered the Steak and eggs with Chilequiles, asked for my steak med rare, got well done, cold steak, asked for my eggs over med, got over hard. Chilequiles were less than ok. The food is also over priced and not good at all. Also ordered queso fundido, which is supposed to be a warm cheese dip with chorizo, they were out of chorizo, and what we got was what seemed like a block of Monterey Jack cheese melted in a cast iron dish. I don’t recommend this place at all. Huge overpriced disappointment.

It wasn’t actively bad. It was far from good.
They first did not accept vertical IDs for drinking, which is absurd. We managed to support our entirely legal IDs with secondary ones, which is absurd that it was even a question.
The margaritas we got were almost entirely mix, and left us questioning if there was any alcohol at all in them. The pitchers each filled three glasses — very small. In all, during happy hour, we paid about $ 7 for each glass of margarita mix.
Chips and guac were fine, but also not great. Would not recommend.

Small margarita but the enchiladas and tacos were good. Meat was not dry either. Salsa was not too spicy not too bland.

I ordered the carnitas tacos-​they were pretty good but they needed spicier salsa.
The highlight of the night was Brian the bartender. He was super friendly and attentive and made sure we were taken care of.
Thank you Brian! :)

WORST DINING EXPERIENCE– this place doesn’t even deserve 1 star.
So I came here because I was really hungry and needed something to eat right away and boy do I regret ever coming here. First of all the service sucked although once I voiced my disappointment the manager and my waitress suddenly become attentive! I was seated and waited about 5 minutes (and yes 5 minutes is a problem when you are starving and the place is completely empty) before receiving a menu while the hostess chatted away with a waitress or someone. I actually got out of my seat and walked up to her to ask for a menu. Once I had the menu I looked at the prices and everything on the menu is ridiculously expensive but I thought I would enjoy the food anyways because I love Mexican. We ordered Guacamole with chips and it was actually awful. The guac for the price is a slap in the face. The guac has no onions, lemon taste or tomatoes or anything that a real guac brings except for avocado. Literally the guac is just smashed avocado. We literally asked for a cup of onions and tomatoes and fresh lemon and made our own at the table. Like seriously!!!
I could already tell this place sucked and should have left right then and there but I stayed and gave the restaurant the benefit of the doubt.
I ordered the enchilada and my date ordered a burger. The enchilada was absolutely DISGUSTING. Actually, the worst enchiladaI have ever had in my life. First of all, the food arrived cold, yes the enchilada was cold. and it looked extremely sad. They sell the enchilada as having salsa verde, onions and avocado but those things are only GARNISHES. WHAT A RIP OFF! Three pieces of onions and three sad pieces of avocado. Even writing the review is pissing me off again. I called the manager right away and voiced how disgusting the food was and right away was comforted by the manager who was trying his best not be embarrassed. I thought I would order the quesadilla so that the restaurant could redeem itself. The manager kept telling me the «food would be out right away.» but I don’t want FAST FOOD– TAKE YOUR TIME making my food. I do not want it under-​cooked or rushed in anyway. I rather wait a little while for really GOOD food than have it fast and it be below average.
The quesadilla was OK but only because they were trying so hard and I couldn’t even finish the entire thing because of my anxiety over the whole ordeal. Everything about this place SUCKED and I really hope my review stops anyone from coming here until they get a new chef, a new staff, and change their menu around completely.
Total waste of $$$

I was staying inside Ballys and realized I needed some food before going out to endure a night of drinking. I checked out the menu at the entrance and it looked like a pretty good deal. Grabbed a seat at the bar as it was just me and they had some MLP playoff games going so it was a no brainer. Josh was working behind the bar and he gave me tips on what I should select from the menu. I got the Mahi tacos (an order of 3 for $ 11) which were a delight as he said it would be. Nice flavor and a slight kick of spice going on with it… not bad. I was hoping I could mix and match with the 3 for $ 11 deal, but unfortunately I was told you could only get one flavor with the deal.
Since I was in a Mexican establishment, it was only right to partake in some tequila. It was hard for me not to as I was sitting right in front of a shelf that is fully dedicated to all different types of tequila. I went with the Don Julio Silver for smooth purposes.
God spot to grab a quick bite and get on with a night of awesomeness.

Ate dinner while in town for a conference. I assumed Mexican food would be safe but I was disappointed.
The service was good and my waitress willingly accommodated special allergy requests.
But I ordered tableside guacamole and was told they couldn’t serve it due to the avocado shortage. Which is news to me; every grocery store I have been in the past several weeks had plenty of avocados. So they brought me a serving of awful guacamole like you would buy at a gas station. I should have sent it back but didn’t.
Surprisingly my tacos had a small side of normal guacamole that was acceptable.
My wine was so-​so the chips were mostly small broken pieces and the fish tacos were decent.
Upon more thought it was a bad experience and I would definitely not go back.

Service= 5 stars… GREAT JOB Carissa!!!
Food= 5 stars… Nacho Grande EPIC and chicken tacos!
Atmosphere= 5 stars… great décor and bar
This place is a Vegas gem hidden in Balley’s Casino! By far one of the BEST values in Vegas and portions fit for a King and Queen!
CHECK OUT THE PHOTO OF MY NACHO PICTURE! You WON’T be disappointed!

I enjoyed the food and atmosphere was nice enough. Tex-​mex and everything tasted fresh. Host was friendly and our server went out of her way and was quite sweet and bubbly.
We had guacamole, can’t deny it’s fresh when it’s made in front of you! Chips had a house made red and verde. Chips were made in house also. We were looking for a snack and it was happy hour, $ 2 soft corn tacos. I’m a vegetarian (vegas hates us). So I got mine with minus the chicken… when our server brought them out she said the cook sent me a bowl of grilled peppers and onions since I was a veg, they were delicious and I was truly grateful for them doing that. Something I would ordered wether it be happy hour or not. My friend got the shredded chicken tacos and they were loaded with marinated chicken. She said they were great.
Refreshing to have a personal touch and fresh food! Would have gone back if we had time.

I don’t give a lot of one star reviews on Unilocal,but wow, this place has managed to be the worst dining experience I’ve ever had in Vegas (and I visit this city frequently enough). First the menu is not accurate. Romaine lettuce for the salads? Try iceberg with a few sprinklings of canned corn and beans. I’d wager you’d find more nutrients in an old shoe.
One of my friends is vegan. She ordered the salad without meat to ensure there would be no meat products. Surprise! Pieces of CHICKEN buried beneath all that watery iceberg. What the fuck? She also ordered a side of guacamole. The waitress seemed confused by this initially, but then nodded and said she could make it happen. What appeared next was a small side cup of chopped avocado pieces. The same avocado pieces that came in slice form on MY salad. So… when someone orders a side of guac, you just take the avocado that already comes with the salad and chop it up into tinier pieces and put it in a side cup? Fuck that. My girlfriend had to mash up those pieces with a fork, add the available salt and pepper from the table, fish pieces of tomato out of her salad, and take a wedge of lime from the side of another friend’s plate to MAKE HER OWN GUACAMOLE. Unacceptable.
PS– The «cilantro lime dressing» is not oil based. It is thick like buttermilk ranch with cilantro flavoring. Another surprise.
My other friends ordered tacos, which were so greasy everyone either felt bloated or got a legitimate stomach ache that required pepto bismol after consumption. One girl ordered shredded beef, but instead of saying they didn’t have shredded beef, they just came back with carnitas. Um… what if she couldn’t eat pork for medical or religious reasons? You can’t just substitute a meat without telling anyone until after they bite into and discover it’s not what they ordered.
Then they fucked up our bill not once, but THREE times. My poor friend was dealing with a unsettled stomach (from all that fucking grease) while trying to do math for the third time. I can’t imagine a worst feeling. «Do I shit my pants, yell at the server, or try to add up all these numbers again?» Maybe all three. Sigh.
Disgusting food, poor service, and a perpetual parade of fuck ups. If I could summarize this entire dining experience with one phrase, it’d be «ho don’t do it.»

I didn’t think you could remove the flavor of food so much and have it still look like food.
Sorry, I am coming from SoCal. So this was sorta insulting.
Wait staff was okay. Everything else was fine.

SCREW THIS PLACE. WARNING ALL CALIFORNIANS THIS COMPANY SUCKS. Apparently vertical ID’s are not accepted because some nitwit of a waitress wasn’t smart enough to notice fake IDs and the employers don’t know how to properly train their employees. It’s Vegas, CHECK MORON. and we are not accepted to drink here. So unfortunately corporate decided that people loose their jobs for serving vertical ID’d 21 year olds. This place doesn’t deserve a star.
Just a horrible, ridiculous company. I hope you loose more good paying customers.

I ended up at Tequila Taqueria while attending an event in Bally’s. We were meeting up with a couple of friends for dinner and they had a hankering for Tex-​Mex. Tequila Taqueria was conveniently located near the ballroom/​convention area. They’re right next to Buca, and seem to share some facilities — one of the glasses we got actually had the Buca logo on it.
Unfortunately, the location was one of the only things going for it. The food was underwhelming. Nachos came out in a small mountain and looked pretty cool, but were pretty average. The chicken tacos were pretty dry and didn’t have any accompaniments, though the seasoning on them was nice.
Service wasn’t the best. It wasn’t crowded at all, but our waitress seemed to disappear after taking our orders and was missing for long periods of time. Adequate if you really need some Tex-​Mex, but there are probably better options around.

I visited Las Vegas last days.
I decided to go to this restaurant.
I waited 15 minutes, before server bring us menu.
5 star that it’s work 24/​hours
1 star for guacamole-it’s just avocado and nothing more, no lime, a little cilantro, no salt! no taste! I was so disappointed
1star for salad, chicken was cold.
Also they charging for chips and salsa!

Generic Mexican place. Food was fine. My margarita wasn’t very strong. Shrimp fajitas were good and came with elote! That was a nice change. Overall wasn’t anything special. Small room. Service was slow. There were empty tables everywhere but still had to wait 10 minutes to get seated.

El Magnifico — Phenomenal Burgers
What makes this place unique is the spices they use and the way they flavor their meats. I ordered the Taqueria Burger late on a Saturday, and the only drawback was that it took a while for it to come. (A while meaning I opened up my laptop and almost completed an online traffic school class before my food arived. (In their defense, they had only been open a few days, and they were still getting the schedule and menu down, and probably didn’t anticipate a Vegas late night traffic surge). The manager personally came over and let us know the situation, and took care of us.
Our waitress was Cy, and she was very nice, she brought us some complementary snacks to compensate for the wait as well, now it was like thanksgiving. I was starving and the extra food was very appreciated, but it was their attitude about it, that turned me into a repeat customer.
The food was so tasty I came back the following day to try the Mahi tacos. Nina, my new waitress subbed out a few ingredients for avocado and their Chipotle mayonnaise. Obviously it took longer, but I wanted them custom made.
Ambience:
It is Vegas so of course there was a big screen TV with the playoffs in the background.
This is not «fast food,» but if you like authentic Mexican food, you may enjoy this restaurant. Highly recommended.
