    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.

    The place can definitely use a few more servers. We went for a bottomless experience as advertised and there was only one server for the whole floor making sure we got our orders after ages.

    First I’ll start by saying they are way under staffed, I waited over an hour for a cocktail, I ended up having to go to the bar myself to get the cocktail. The food arrived about 1.5 hours in & although it had a decent flavor it was ice cold. The waitress didn’t know anything about the menu, and was very rude. We weren’t the only ones experiencing the poor service, the 2 couples on both sides of my table had their drinks and entrees mixed up, in other words they received each others drinks and dishes and decided to just go with it in fear of having to wait another 1.5 hour if they sent the dish back. Would I ever go again ? Absolutely not. First and last not worth the $200 at all.

    My wife and I went for Valentine’s dinner. Our reservation was for 6:45. We were promptly seated and the ambience was nice. After a half an hour, a server finally asked us for our drink order. 15 minutes later we had to flag down a server to order our food. After over an hour, we still had not received appetizers, so we flagged down the server and explained we had a show to catch. 15 minutes after that, we still had not received one bite of food. We ended up leaving without eating a thing. We watched as tables around us got all their courses and cocktails. It was unacceptable.

    First off we usually have a good experience here, but this time around the service was horrible. The food was terrible. My entrée was the size of my appetizer when I brought that to the servers attention she laughed, and then when I brought it to the manager’s attention he also laughed. I paid double what it should’ve been the drinks kept getting messed up over and over Just wasn’t good. Not sure if I’ll come back.

    Food was cold. Seemed like it was cooked in advance and then reheated. I ordered calamari and chicharon sliders. The calamari was already soggy when it came out. No crunch at all, and was cold. The Chicharon was cold and the bread underneath was already soggy all the way through and the bread used was a baguette. Baguettes take a longgggg time to get mushy like that and the chicharon wasn’t even hot. The presentation of the food was nice but it’s like a chef made it early in the day in case someone ordered it later and then left for the rest of the day. The drinks were good (only thing good there) and the service was decent. The first waitress had a bit of an attitude when we asked questions about the menu but I think she left and was relieved by another waitress who was super super nice. Ambiance was good though. If u come here, only come for drinks.

    This was the first time that anyone in our dinner party had ever frequented Tequila Escape. We were pleasantly surprised and the experience continued to get better as the evening progressed! Ambiance, cocktails, culinary experience, music, and dancing were highly rated by all. We will definitely be back!
