    I highly recommend eating here. The tacos and cocktails are incredibly delicious. They have a lot of variety to spend a great time. The shrimp paella is my favorite. It has a special flavor that you need to check out. Excellent service. I love the decoration and the music in the restaurant.

    Our waitress claimed she was never told about our table so we sat there for 25 min without a single person acknowledging us or even bringing water. Set a bad tone for the whole night and will likely not be going back. I’ve been there several times and the food is always decent but the service is awful and the bill is always outrageous for the amount of food you get. Not worth it.

    Place smelled like dirty mop water. Floor was sticky and dirty. Waitress was HORRIBLE. She made our drinks and tasted them with the straws and I caught her about to replace the straw in our glass. Drink wasn’t made correctly she had a bad attitude and it took her 25 minutes after we told her we were ready to take our order. She wasn’t attentive and was on her phone a lot. Food was tasteless and greasy. However they do make good street corn. So i don’t recommend unless you just want street corn.

    First time at tequila escape! The drinks were very good. The food was just fine. The salad dressing was yummy but it was a very basic salad. The taco was tasty but since it came with single corn tortilla each, it was soggy by the time you got to the second taco. The churros were good but a little under done, middle was mushy…they were not fully cooked. The food took a while considering it wasn’t super busy but the server was very nice.
