Tequila Jack's Mexican Restaurant & Tequila Bar Lapp's Quay, Cork, County Cork T12 KCW0

"Tequila Jacks in Cork is an absolute gem of a Mexican restaurant that left me in awe after my second visit! The drinks are nothing short of incredible - from margaritas to tequila shots, the extensive bar menu is bound to satisfy even the most discerning of drinkers. Do ask ahead for their tequila selection as I found that they were out most of the premium tequila on their list. It’s not just about the drinks - the food is equally impressive, with offerings that are both delicious and authentic. While I loved the food, I must say that during my visit, some of the dishes arrived a bit cold. However, this didn't detract from the flavors, as each dish was packed with mouthwatering sensations that took me straight to the streets of Mexico. In terms of service, it was nothing extraordinary, but still satisfactory. Our waitress was friendly enough, but given that we were flagging her down multiple times to order further dishes, she could have been a bit more attentive. Beyond these minor drawbacks, the atmosphere at Tequila Jacks is spot on. The lively energy and vibrant decor make for a truly fun dining experience. Overall, Tequila Jacks in Cork provides a sensational Mexican culinary journey that is well worth experiencing. The high quality drinks, authentic food, and vibrant atmosphere all make for an exciting and enjoyable evening that you're bound to remember. This is a place I'll definitely be visiting again!"

"Excellent presentation of the dishes. The guacamole was outstanding! The cocktails were good but the meat on the plate was little and hidden by the vegetables and the tacos leaked water because the lettuce was not dry. Overall I'd say everything looks better than it taste!"

"Great spot for drinks. The location is great with the entrance to underground parking just outside the door, and lovely views of the river. I really enjoyed the margaritas and the entire drinks menu looks really fun. The glasses the drinks and water were served in were cool too. I also really enjoyed the halloumi fries. I would probably try something other than the fish tacos next time, but I loved the rice that it was served with. The decor and especially the bar are really great at Tequila Jack’s and our server was fantastic - super friendly and quick. There are also some larger Tv screens so I think it would make a solid choice for watching a match and grabbing food too."

"Food was good and there were a number of options on the menu. Kinds enjoyed items off the kids menu as well. A decent offering of beer on draught. And they serve large mugs too which was nice to go along with the food. Reminded me of some Mexican spots in the US. The margaritas and other mixed drinks were expensive though, and did not offer pitchers. This is the first Mexican restaurant I have ever been in that does not sell pitchers. Ambiance was not exactly cozy given the size, but it was overall nice enough. Same with service. Nice people, but we got lost in the mix."
