    2nd visit edit...still great! For lunch, really hit the spot. Lunch special chicken quesadilla and two tacos. Really liked the salsa, and the chips were fresh. The quesadilla was excellent and flavorful. The tacos were kinda bland (Mexican vs Tex-Mex), but not bad. Server was fine. The main guy was great. He had a problem with someone from the street he was being nice to by giving him water and a burrito or taco. The guy got up on a bar stool and was about to cause a scene, but they talked him down quietly and got him out just by being patient and de-escalating the situation. Bravo for his compassion and cool head. I've seen a few restaurants help vagrants and it shows in their treatment of paying customers in a superlative way. Combine that with good food and you can't go wrong spending your money here.

    Food was pretty good. My mom and I ordered the Nachos Grande and we were both given 9 chips on each of our plates with toppings on each chip. I think they were trying out a new presentation, but it was 9 chips on the plate lol. I’ve been to a variety of Hispanic restaurants and have never had nachos like that It was good though. Our waitress was meh. Not very personable but she got our drinks and food correct so

    3 Tequilas Restaurant exceeded all of our expectations, offering an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff who made us feel welcome and well-cared for throughout our visit. Their dedication to excellent customer service set the tone for a memorable meal. The food was equally impressive, with a diverse menu featuring a variety of dishes that catered to different tastes. Each dish was not only delicious but also generously portioned, providing great value for the reasonable prices. The large portions ensured that we left feeling satisfied and well-fed, adding to the overall positive experience. Timing is crucial if you want to avoid a wait, as this popular spot can get busy. However, the ample parking and open seating arrangements made it easy to settle in comfortably without feeling cramped or crowded. The spacious layout allowed for a pleasant dining atmosphere, free from the discomfort of sitting too close to other patrons. In summary, 3 Tequilas Restaurant goes above and beyond in delivering an excellent dining experience. From the top-notch service to the delicious and plentiful food, every aspect of our visit was impressive. With reasonable prices, ample parking, and a spacious seating arrangement, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy great food in a comfortable and welcoming environment.

    After a long beach day, we needed something filling and we were not disappointed. I had the nachos, baby girl had taquitos, son had tacos, and Bae had Pollo Montero. We all enjoyed the food. Perfectly seasoned. Homemade guacamole. Great customer service. Highly recommend!
