I'll always come back for the nachos. ALWAYS. The tacos are delicious as well, everyone that I come with RAVES about the bourbon taco but I'm more of a fan of the tequila shrimp one. Don't get me wrong, they are both phenomenal but the shrimp one is lighter and more fresh imo. The Beyoncé frozen margarita is also always a MUST. Music can get a bit loud and it's not really my style ( think old ontz-ontz club) but the staff is super friendly.

Wow wow wow. Such a cozy environment with laughs and great Show during Drag Sunday. From the moment I walked in I was greeted and felt the welcoming of this place. The server was patient and very open to our suggestions and recommended a few things on the menu. The food was amazing had that zing of spice I had the hangover breakfast and was very very well.

I just went to DS Tequila for the first place, and I can say my expierence left a lasting impression, and I will 100% be back and choose to support this business. I would highly recommend you go here versus roscoes next door. Not only was the food and drinks fantastic, but I think what really sets this place apart is the customer service. To start off with, there was a one bartender and a descent crowd, so of course the drinks would be later and that's okay. Based on working in fast food, an entire day can be... read more

I've been to DS Tequila a handful of times. It's one of my favorite places to be at in Boystown. I love their food and drink options, the food is always delicious and freshly made to order, and they have a huge selection of drinks to choose from. We came here on Saturday for brunch for my partner's birthday, and it was convenient being able to book a reservation on OpenTable. We were seated right away, and our server Caesar (that was the name I saw on my tab) was really friendly, efficient and accurate with our modifications which I... read more

The food was good and great portions. Our server (wish I could remember their name !) was 10/10- super fun, great at their job and was super accommodating. It's overall a fun spot and I'd definitely go back.

Haven't seen 50 cent wing nights in a long time. I was upset it took over an hour because of traffic ( lsd lane closures, cubs game) ... but the wings and fries were pretty good. I liked the ambiance I wasn't crazy about my blue drink but I would come back.

Short version: I don't know what other reviewers are complaining about: the food was good, drinks were cold, and service was excellent. Safe/inclusive environment in a solid location. I don't know what more you can ask for. Longer version: I'm out here on a backpacking trip and don't know anyone, so when I said I was cravings tacos my friend (who used to live here) sent me here. I don't know anyone in this city, and this was the first place I felt safe and comfortable, even as the all-alone weirdo at the bar. It's a super cute location, first... read more

Had drinks on June 7th. Our waiter, Denis S.'s shirt said, "Feed me tacos and tell me I am cute." He was and friendly, too. The service was very good. As the last review says, a bit expensive. $12 each for bourbon & water and a margarita. A beer was $6.

Solid spot for some good tacos, guac or other Mexican fare, they have good margs and a wild brunch on the weekend. Not much to share, the service is always great, servers are super friendly, especially Bobby, and the margs come out quickly. Ton of different options and they run specials during the week.

This place slays! Delicious food, even tastier drinks, and a great space! I loved their frozen drink. My friend and I split an appetizer and 2 entrees (burger and chicken sandwich) and it was so yummy. Highly recommend this place. It’s so cute, the food is great, and the vibes are good too!

came during saturday brunch and had the best time ever!!!! i've been to a-lot of brunches in the city and this one was by far one of my favs! the mimosa package can get a little pricey with the inclusion of food but the food was really good surprisingly. Our server Julian was super helpful and sweet! he recommended the hangover skillet and it was soooo good. the mimosas fairy was such a cute idea and made sure i never found the bottom of my mimosas LOL! super lively and great music all around FUN great time would come again/ recommend!

I've never had a bad time here generally speaking, and although I wouldn't go out of my way to come here to eat necessarily, I did stop by on a Tuesday and realized they had 50 cent wing specials on Tuesday which is a nice special. We ordered 5 wings and a burger and it was alright! Nothing amazing, but was decent. The music was nice and they also have a tunes juke box that you can change music with which is also a nice added bonus to this place. The server was alright I guess - he wasn't overly... read more

$5 margarita day made it worth the walk. The dishes that had chicken were especially good. It can get pretty pricey ($25-35/person even with the discount margaritas) but we loved the food and the portions were super filling. The environment was good as well, spacious and modern.

The coyote ugly drag brunch on Sundays is insanely fun. Decent prices, it includes an actual choice of your entree, and bottomless drinks! fifty bucks?! I easily drink that much at any brunch highly recommend. The ONLY thing I'd remotely consider a Con, is that the food took 35 min to come out. better that knowing it's freshly made and not sitting under some heat lamp. honestly, we were too busy enjoying the show and drinking to even notice but I was hangry that morning. Food was solid nine out of ten Suggest you get there on time and get... read more

Feels like a bar that happens to serve some food during the daylight hours. Everything is pride-themed, though, and the outdoor area feels like it would be awesome for nightlife, so your dining experience is definitely well-beyond the standard "dive bar for lunch" ambiance. Would come back here, but the food-quality standards are low - but those margs rock. NOTE: You must be over 21 to eat here. I...think. They stated as such when we were admitted (and needed to see an unexpired ID), but families of kids were eating here with other families around noon, so I'm not sure... read more

I will keep this review short since we didn't get anything but chips, salsa and drinks. The place is well maintained in a good location with cute little patio. I was happy with the chips - salty enough and the salsas hit the spot. My friend does not eat spicy so I was the only one enjoying the salsa. Be aware that they are fairly spicy so watch out!

First of all, any restaurant/bar with the name Tequila in it will get my money. It was an easy pick for dinner. Got a seat right away and we didn't even know it was Drag Bingo night. The menu was short but after I tasted their tacos, I realized they didn't even really need a menu at all. They were so good that I wouldn't need anything else (to eat). The margaritas were great.

This was such a great find!! I was drawn in by the awesome outdoor seating and was super shocked by the incredible salad (was able to add impossible patty as a vegan option!). I had a great dinner with my friend with awesome vibes, affordable wine/beer, and delicious food. Our server Robert provided amazing service and was so kind and helpful! Would absolutely recommend and definitely be back. Also, option to have itemized receipt texted to you for bill splitting!
