TQLA Mexican Kitchen & Cantina

We’re told at the door that they are closed until 5 when the posted hours on google and on the door do not say that…

We went for brunch based on a recommendation and regret it. Service was terrible and the food was mediocre. It took forever to get anything and the place was filling up fast, yet the place had two servers only. It seems like this place cares more about their Christmas decorations than their customers. 2 stars for that only.

Food and drinking were amazing! Staff was super friendly and dj was playing hits all night! Recommend coming here on the weekends after 9! Also the host helped us out getting a table even though it seemed super packed.

Been here on several occasions and they tell me wait times are about 1-3 hrs. I feel the tables are for big parties only. The couple times I have dinned food was ok.

This place is a scam. Every time I, along with my friends, have attempted to go, the wait time is ridiculous. Last night my two friends and I arrived to TQLA and we walked in asking for how long it would be to be seated. The hostess said 1.5-2 hours. When we looked around there were 5 tables EMPTY. I get that there are reservations but these tables could only sit up to 4 people from what I saw and reservations are only made for parties of 6 and up, so they lie and over-hype the place and make you wait, when in reality, your in westmont. The wait times should not be that long consistently. While the drinks are good, the service isnt. The last time I went in a group of 6, the servers tried upselling the most expensive dishes on the menu. This place is not it.

First time here and was disappointed as I’ve heard great things about this place. Came to get some drinks as my cousins came from out of town and the moment we were seated, it was about 10 minutes before we were asked if we would like drinks and food. We order a bucket to start and a drink. Chips were brought to the table. The bucket and drink took another 10 minutes to come out. The drink, La Bebcita, was delicious and the music was great. The night continued and my cousins ordered a another bucket. The server asked if we wanted more chips which we said yes, but they never came back with chips. At this time, it was four of them drinking beer and the place was mostly full. Right before 1am, we placed an order for a bucket which took some time again to receive, but since the place closed at 2 am we were good on time. We asked for salt and got pepper. The server was kind to bring us the salt as it was an honest mistake. The moment the bucket was brought to the table, the security came about 7 minutes later to let us know we needed to leave in the next 5 minutes. We were not made aware that the bar closed early due to events that has occurred. At this time, it was about 1:35 am and a group of people had someone throwing up and another person trying to fight. I did let the server know that it was crappy that we paid for a bucket, they expect our group to drink the beers or leave them since we cannot take them all because they didn’t let us know that there was a lot going on that night. You should warn your customers about last call and if a location is closing sooner. I didn’t find it fair that because others didn’t know how to act, we had to hurry up with our drinks and get out early with a 5 minute warning. The restaurant should hire more security to deal with situations as well as make sure to announce changes if they are closing earlier than 2 am. Overall, the server was nice and we enjoyed what we could of the night. I don’t think it would be worth coming here at night time if this seems to be an issue. Will definitely come for brunch and hope that the experience is different.

A place where they give you a 10/10 service, highly recommended ❤️❤️

The bartender made my experience remember able. I will definitely come back because of her.
