    Service was subpar akin to the margaritas. Do not order the queso as what we received appeared to be a mixture of chorizo, beans and shredded cheese on top; no queso in sight. If you’re looking for a classy dining experience, this is not it. The drinks weren’t even worth the happy hour prices.

    The food and drinks 10/10!! I’m definitely going back! The service was impeccable and on point! I didn’t have to wait long for my food or drinks. The staff were attentive and friendly. The music was on fire! My friend and I really enjoyed ourselves. I made reservations and was seated on time! The place to go with your friends or alone. You can’t go wrong with Te Amo Tequila Bar & Tacos!

    The food was delicious! The service was okay. Had to track down a waiter a few times to get service. The ambiance was loud and not what I expected. Decor could use some updating.

    Fabulous spot for a pre-show dinner! The happy hour deals were awesome, we were expecting much smaller portions and overordered but the food and drinks were fabulous.
