Tequila Bar and Grill

Was here about a month and a half ago and drunk off my ass telling my group about these $ 2 tacos.
The moment I convince everyone to go, Unilocal reports they have closed.
Great.

Why did you close?! Loved this place for the giant nachos and the margaritas. Stop closing the good stuff in Vegas :(

I’m 66 years old, and have been eating
Burgers all my life, and I have to say
That the ortega chili burger they served
There was the BEST one I have ever had the pleasure of eating!!!
Was saddened to hear they had closed

Yeah, I’m giving this place 5 stars. Why? Probably one of the top 5 things I tell people to do when they are going to Vegas for the first time is: «Go to the Tequila Bar in the back of Bally’s. Order the marinated Patron they called the Infused.»
Thank me later.
Also, $ 2 tacos.
Also, many other cheap drinks & eats that can fill you up on the heart of the strip without being overpriced like so many other nearby options. And it’s always open!
Always have to stop by here.

So sad that they are now officially CLOSED… out of business.

We decided to try this place out for dinner when we arrived in Vegas. We decided to order the chicken El Jefe Nachos and 3 Carne Asada tacos… WOW! My fiancé and I decided to share this meal! The nachos are HUGE!!! They are by far the best nachos ever! Plus they were super cheap! The following day… Since we liked what we had we decided to go for breakfast. I got the chilaquiles and another WOW! This was the most amazing thing I’ve ever tried! I would recommend this to every single person. Now we are here 3^rd day, we just heard they are closing down. Apparently Some Italian chain bought them out. We are absolutely heart broken. We thought we found our new favorite spot. The staff has been amazing! Especially Cynthia… I’m saddened to hear they will no longer be here. Service is ahhhh-​mazing, just like to food!

A friend and I met another group here for a pre-​cocktail get-​together before we headed to a concert at another hotel.
We started with drinks, which were made just fine… nothing to write home about, but no solid complaints either. Actually, one thing that bugged me was that the margaritas were served in plastic cups rather than margarita glasses or even regular cocktail glasses. For an establishment located on the strip, I kind of expect more.
For food, two of us took part in the two dollar taco special while myself and another of our group split the Queso Fundido and an order of the chicken tenders. The chicken tenders were very good. Not too meaty and not too breaded, served with either barbecue sauce or ranch dressing. The Queso Fundido, however, wasn’t that good. The flavor was all there, but the consistency was gritty, almost like the cheese either went bad or hadn’t been melted properly. We didn’t finish that dish because of that very reason.
I think the only other reason why this restaurant isn’t getting more than three stars is the service. It was lacking. Our waitress barely came to check on us, so we’d ask a passing server for something and she’d make a big announcement about how she had to find our server first. I don’t care how my request gets done just so long as it gets done.
I’d probably only go back if I were staying in Bally’s and didn’t want to venture off of the property to look for anything better. As I live in town, I don’t have a good reason to go back.

Four stars for the deal! My boyfriend and I shared the special they have, 3 tacos and a HUGE plate of nachos. Tacos were meh, boyfriend like them though. Nachos were yummy and super cheesy! :D this was $ 14, BEYOND a good deal! I had a bloody maria, yes Maria, they use tequila. $ 5. We had 4 shots of tequila at $ 1.85 each. So if you’re on a budget, pay this place a visit you won’t be disappointed! It’s somewhat towards the back of Bally’s. :)

Prices are AMAZING for Vegas! You also cannot go wrong with the taco happy hour and the pitchers of beer. SO GOOD and AFFORDABLE! Friendly staff as well.

I discovered this place when searching for affordable, decent Mexican food on the strip. My mom and I had been enjoying our fair share of fine dining… so we had lunch here.
First, it’s in Bally’s. Poor, old, Bally’s. It smells like baby powder and smoke and is a nightmare to walk through. This place is hidden just off the casino floor and across from the first (?) gay dance club on the strip (kudos to you Bally’s!).
It looks like an airport restaurant.
Staff is surly but charming. They have a little flag on each table, so when you want something, you hoist the flag and they come over to serve you.
I had delicious red snapper tacos — seriously tasty. We had chips and queso (HUGE portion, too much for us) and my mom had taco truck style tacos. She was pleased. Cheap beer prices for Vegas and you can get your Mexican beer favorites.
Writing this review has me craving those tacos again.

My wife and I hit up this place last night when trying to find something to eat at Ballys. The staff was very friendly. And I get the food out to you quickly. We ended up ordering wings, nachos, and tacos… With a few drinks of course :)
The nachos could definitely feed two ppl! The food overall was good. But no wow factor :-/​Something we found quite enjoyable were there fishbowl margaritas and tequila sunrise!

Just settled in our hotel at Ballys and we wanted a bite to eat at 1am and found this place next to a night club. It was fun watching all the interesting people party next door.
The wait staff was very attentive and our food came in approx 15 minutes.
I ordered the fish tacos and it was three little tortillas and the fish was marinated in some kind of red sauce/​spices. They were topped with a little salsa, cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream. It was just okay… I was really starving and just wolfed it all down.
My wife had the adobo marinated pork chiliquilis with two easy over eggs. She said it was okay and I tasted her dish and I agreed with her.
Overall it was just an okay meal, the food lacked flavor, but again the wait staff was great.
Sorry, but I will not be coming here anytime soon.

We went here for the $ 2 tacos and were pleasantly surprised at how delicious they were! We ended up going back the next day for more!
Food was good and who can beat $ 2!!! Definitely get the shredded beef and not the chicken (the chicken was just kind of bland).
The first day the service was terrible, disorganized and we seemed to be at an invisible table. Also, the ice tea was like $ 4. For iced tea? Ridiculous. The next day the service was MUCH better.
Great place for a cheap snack!

My boyfriend and I almost ordered the «el jefe nachos» but luckily the waiter warned us that the plate is way way way too big for two people and that for a few dollars LESS we could get a smaller plate of nachos plus three tacos! The tacos cannot be mix&matched so I ordered one extra chicken taco for $ 2. So the food comes out and the plate of nachos is still big enough for a table of 5. I could barely believe this wasn’t the largest one, definitely didn’t need that extra taco. Everything was really good! Also, this was around 3:30AM so we were surprised to find something so good still open.

Do not skip this place! In a place where you can spend your money anywhere, this is the hidden gem in the strip!!!
Awesome $ 2 Tacos… Cheap prices drinks/​shots… Awesome bartenders… Try to go when H.L. Is working… He makes the experience all the better, best bartender we experienced our while trip, and that’s saying a lot.
The food is flavorful, drinks are cold, an the bathroom is not far away! :-)
Our chips were warm and fresh, Tacos flavorful. (I got beef and chicken)
If you go and plan on drinking (I hope you do!) please try the infusion tequila… It may seem A bit pricey at $ 7…but what you don’t know is that it comes with a plate of cut up fruit that has been soaking in tequila… The shot itself has absorbed all of the fruit juices… So it honestly tastes like candy… With no tequila burn… The fruit… The fruit… Is where it gets fun… It has absorbed all if the tequila burn and flavor, so each piece is like it’s own shot… And you will feel it after a few minutes… Super fun experience!
We went two times and each time spent hours eating and drinking… And both times are bill was less than 40 bucks… And that’s with the $ 7 shots… What I’m saying is… U can have a GREAT time for under 20 bucks!
To end the review… Please so not walk by Bally’s and not go here… And please seek out the great and wise H. L… He will take care if you!!! (make sure and tell him his new Minnesota friends actually put a review on Unilocal!!)

Ordered the grande nachos. HUGE! Eating vegetarian in Vegas is usually easy. So I asked if there was a way to make the nachos vegetarian and indeed there was. You can have them put the meat on the side, which works great if you’re with people that do eat meat. My parents chose the chicken and said it was flavorful and cooked well. They we’re definitely worth trying. I was also told you can order tacos with beans instead of meat and they have a vegetable wrap :)
*My mom wanted to get breakfast and ordered scrambled eggs with cheese, home fries and sausage patties with sourdough toast. She said it was just a normal breakfast. Tasty but nothing special.

Open 24 hours (most of the time, they shut down for a few hours in the wee morning to clean up) and $ 2 tacos!!!
What? Yeah, you read that right. $ 2 tacos! (minimum of 2 in chicken or beef)
They have a lot of alcohol specials from $ 2-​$ 3. I had a strawberry margarita for $ 3.
This is if you sit at the bar only though. And the bartender we had was really nice.
Definitely check it out if you’re in Vegas and strapped for cash. So worth it for a quick, delicious meal and drinks.

Two words people… HAPPY HOUR. Husband enjoyed two margaritas for just two bucks each. My iced tea was 3.99. Now who got the better deal? Seriously, they were GOOD margaritas, and not chintzy on the booze.
Can’t attest to any food, but our stop-​in-​and-​get-​a-​great-​drink-​deal experience was a very good one. Bartender was very friendly!

A friend of mine works nearby and invited me to lunch here a couple weeks ago. I enjoyed my burger so while on a staycation at Paris, I wanted to bring my wife here (located inside Ballys) to try these huge ass nachos I saw on my previous visit.
The burger I had a couple weeks ago was the Tequila Bar Open Range Cheeseburger. The $ 12 price tag included fries. It was simple having lettuce, tomato and red onion but hit the spot. The fries were cooked a tad too crispy and even though our server was nice it took forever for the food to come.
The last visit My wife and I shared an order of El Jefe’s Nachos Grande. Without your rewards card the nachos are $ 18 and meant to be shared. My picture came out blurry but man this was a big plate of nachos. The nachos were only okay. More chips than toppings. I think it is the size that makes people interested in trying it. Like a gimick to get you talking. Like my first visit the nachos took forever to come out. This place is just average. Look for the groupon so it is worth it.

Was starving after having an afternoon plane ride (no free lunches anymore unless you’re first class), and found this place in my hotel. $ 2 tequila shots, $ 2 tacos (small), and $ 2 – 3 margaritas — yum. ($ 2 regular, $ 3 starawberry)
My whole bill for 2 tacos — you can choose from beef or shredded chicken — and 1 strawberry margarita was like $ 8.50 with tip. You can’t do better than that in Vegas! Tacos were just okay but I wasn’t looking for gourmet. The strawberry margarita is small — think water glass — but tasty.
