    Shell of a former large BBQ restaurant, food is fair, service was just ok. Small plates of food that again, are just average. I will say the Margaritas are made well.

    First time visiting this place, experience was not good ! Took forever to get a drink, when they finally came they were off. Ordered a Latin classic taipirhiña and definitely not the drink. Ordered simple guacamole and chips , the guacamole Was salty as heck. They replaced it and then it’s sour as well my mom asked for a little sugar and fixed it for us ! Lol Ordered shrimp tacos also salty ! Ordered Ahi tuna tacos and they were soaked in avocado spread . Sorry but the only thing we enjoyed was the salsa group playing that night! Expecting another round of drinks and only brought one had to wait again ! Think about going here ??

    We’re genuinely sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your visit, though we do want to clarify a few things. Our team went out of their way to remake your drink after it was sent back for not having mint — even though a traditional caipirinha doesn't include it — and we removed it from your bill. The guacamole was also remade to your taste and taken off the check as well. On top of that, dessert was provided on the house, and we even had the band play your song requests We always strive to provide a great experience for everyone, but sometimes, no matter how much we do, it’s not enough. For anyone reading this review — we invite you to come check us out and experience Tequila Escape for yourself. Mention this review during your visit and receive 10% off your bill (valid all July)

    Overall, I had a good experience. Although there is room for improvement. For example, I arrived around 6:45pm. The restaurant seemed fully staffed and I estimate at 1/5 seating capacity. I was able to order my drink right away, But then it took nearly 20 minutes for my server to bring my very simple drink order (Jack & Coke) to my table. I ordered a guacamole and chips appetizer at the same time that I order the drink. The appetizer took 15 minutes longer than the drink order. I had to ask about my appetizer and then they brought it right out. Seemed like it was sitting prepared somewhere for a while and nobody bothered to bring it out in a timely manner. I spent that entire time looking over the menu to decide what to choose. There are plenty of good sounding options. I finally settled on the octopus small plate. When I tried to place the order, my server then informed me that they didn't have any octopus that for that night. I would have appreciated that information before I reviewed the menu. I then order a caesar salad with shrimp and it was delicious. The guacamole appetizer was also very tasty. They had live music. The blues band was great. The overall atmosphere was very good. Overall a good (not great) experience, I just was not impressed with the service . My server was very pleasant. However, service was very very slow. If I was in any kind of rush I would have been upset. Perhaps, just an off night, I will most likely return sometime later this summer and give the restaurant another chance to shine.

    Food took forever to come and came out wrong. Ordered a quesadilla and avocado toast. Not sure why that took forever and couldn’t even be made correctly.
