Came here late night on a Tuesday and it wasnt too busy. There was a love DJ playing some dope music, the a live band "Alicia the Band" played a dope set list. It contained Spanish and English hits and they had the whole place groovin. The food was pretty good, ordered the loaded fries with Chicken. The drinks were also pretty solid. I'm happy I stumbled across this place, and I will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area.

Stop by for a drink in an appetizer on a Wednesday evening, 5 hours later left after listening to two amazing bands, drinking delicious tequila cocktails, and having an amazing overall time! Special props to our bartender, Megan! She not only made delicious drinks, but also took the stage and sang incredibly. Would recommend!

Food was very good. I ordered blackened shrimp tacos and queso biria and both were very good. My wife ordered sushi, huh? But she said it was amazing! Tequila selection was just ok, but should be more of a selection since "Tequila" is in the name. I found after that there is actually another Tequila list available, make sure to ask if you are a Tequila connoisseur. I would recommend Clase Azul reposado and G4 anejo. (If you ask for Patron, you're Not a connoisseur).

My girlfriends & I started the night off in Gaslamp & were deciding where to kill time & the staff here were so friendly that we decided to check it out.
They have seating inside & a covered patio. We sat outdoors. Customer service was attentive, friendly, & funny!
The menu is like Mexican/Asian fusion. They had tacos, sushi, & margaritas. It was Happy Hour when we came, so we ordered it all! All good, but I would stick to the Mexican food because the sushi had too much rice.

The service here is incredible. Fernando, the bartender, really goes above and beyond to find exactly the kind of drink you're looking for. He is extremely knowledgeable about each tequila and mezcal. All the staff was incredibly friendly and dedicated to delivering as best of an experience as possible. I was blown away.
I came here after dinner, so I did not have any food, but we did have plenty of tequila. Their tequila selection is great.
The music was well selected (reggaeton and salsa). They turned it up and had dancing later in the night. Pleased to say this is a very well run bar

Disgusting
They gave me molded chips & salsa and when i told one of the workers he just took them away and didn't even say sorry. I was dying from stomachache at that night so I called them again, they said they cant do anything about it. Their table was dirty and dusty as well. Cant trust their foods no more. :(

Steak was slim shady… EDD card thin. Steak was so skinny I thought it was beef jerky!
No hot sauce provided.
Enchilada was very tasty! I’ll concede that. They had a strobe light spinning on my table wth?! Then they had “bottle service” with some backup Terror Squad members taking up the inside of the bar.
Of course they included their own gratuity at 20%.
They got us watching STADIUM sports channel whoaaaa! We watched that in prison… another notoriously cheap place with poor food.

I came to San Diego on vacation and came across this bar and I loved it.
It has kind of like a club vibe and a bar mixed together. They play amazing music if you live hip hop and reggaeton then you won't go wrong here.
I tried out the taquitos and they were bomb. The carne asada fries and the birria and it was ok.
Pros
-Awesome setting
-Good vibes
-Music was on point
Cons
-After 9 they remove the chairs and you have to stand unless you get a bottle service

Looooved the food here. I found the restaurant online before visiting with friends - we probably wouldn't have chosen to eat here if we'd just stumbled upon it, because it seemed to be primarily a bar/club rather than a dinner spot - but I'm really glad we did!
Come during happy hour!! We were all able to get margarita flights for just $7. The classic marg and the passion fruit flavor were my favorites. We all split a huge plate of amazing nachos and ordered our own entrees.
Although the food was great, the service wasn't the best. I ordered a blackened shrimp taco and a

Taco Tuesday at Juan Tequila? No brainer! They had a live band last night (Disclaimher) and it was a blast. Really great music and good food. We enjoyed the Cali fries which is pretty much a nacho but with fries. Yum! The fish taco was also nicely stuffed as well as the burrito. The margarita flight was a nice way to taste all the different flavors but I felt like it was too light on alcohol. Also not a fan of all the flavors but now I know which particular one I really like! Service was just okay but I'm not docking a star for that since everything else was great. My only complaint is that

OK!!!!! THIS PLACE MADE OUR DAY!
My first time partying in SD pretty much. I brought my bf here for the weekend and picked this place because he's a tequila man.
Got there around 6 or so. The bar had people but it was pretty empty.
We asked to sit at the VIP tables since no one was there and the bar seats were taken.
Fernando served us. Who ended up suggesting drinks, and literally made choices for us lol.
My BF asked for top shot. (We were trying to live spontaneous all weekend and try new stuff) he brought us a shot of the "clase azul" (blue and whit bottle) and a shot of

Loved this bar! They have outdoor seating and also the bar is open inside if you only want drinks! They had a live dj and it was fun to be inside when everything has been outside!
Our bartender was Arthur and he was amazing! He was great company and made great drinks! He made sure we were well taken care of!
Will definitely be back!
