Tequila Mockingbird West OC

Just the name alone is worthy of a stop by. Warm chips and tasty house margarita for $5 during happy hour coupled with great service from Conner worth return visits. Feels like money’s worth in terms of the amount of food relative to the cost. The wild ahi filled the fajita plate! Can see the potential in the food itself like the ahi and complimentary salsa that comes with the chips are so close to being great. Like the decor and even the duct taped seats somehow work with the entire vibe and affordability of the place. $5 off fajitas in Tuesdays.

Unfortunately this place keeps changing for worse. I'm not sure who is teaching the cooks the menu but you don't put large chunks of anything in a taco , authentic or not. Food was saltier than the chips ...seriously. And the chips and salsa were great as well as our waitress however you need to serve good tasting food to continue to have people coming back. Flank steak is never to be cut in large chunks...never. Let me repeat this .never , even if your not authentic Mexican fare. I do understand that a little bit of salt can bring out flavor but it is not to be a replacement for the original flavor. This is a just a big no beyond a cold beer and chips.

Visiting from UK. Recommended by friends who are locals. Yummy red Sangria. Our meals were good but we expected greater flavor from the Tacos?Good sized portions. Great service.

I think my one star review was removed.Anyway, this is some very not good food. All Tex, no Mex.Margaritas were pretty good.Price was quite high.The worst expensive food I’ve ever eaten.

Our family WITH friends, stopped in for a LATE supper. In Short? GREAT MEAL!! GREAT SERVICE!Everyone was VERY satisfied with their selections, even my 15yo who hates everything said it was "ok" (Yikes!)The "Salsa" is actually Pico De Gallo and not spicy at all, yet very tasty and refreshing especially after squeezing lime over.We had various items from tacos to Caesar salad and Chicken tenders and fries were available for the kids.Margaritas were Just "good" as (guessing now) pineapple juice seems to have been used instead of Orange liqueur / lime juice; very much on the sweet side.Dos Equis ( XX) on draft was an exciting surprise and wildly welcome as well, as delicious!The establishment was well lit....(maybe OVER lit?) for being a bar and our dishes came out in decent time, and piping hot.My wife, a vegetarian, had a special request which they granted without hesitation.Should you stop by? From what we have seen in the past, be prepared to wait...but a Resounding, YES!Doesn't have to Authentic to be Declious, and Tequila Mockingbird absolutely was.....Take my money, Gimme the T-Shirt!!oh, and special Thanks to Tatum who was absolutely a professional, friend and sweet to our part.Thanks to the Whole Crew! We WILL see you again before leaving town.

Food was just OK. Needed more salt and more flavor. Not authentic. The staff were good and the restaurant itself was nice.

My boyfriend and our friends came to Ocean city Maryland for 3 nights and out of the 2 we came here for some food the first night we dined in the other night we did take out. The first time we had there food boy was is BUSSSINNNN?? I recommend for some tacos! Our waiter was very nice as well I wish I remembered his name but thank you

This is a nice place if you’re going to sit up at the bar and drink a Margarita. If your plan is to sit down and grab a meal then I’d go somewhere else. The food here is not worth the price you pay. The steak was not churrasco. It was a common inexpensive type that was tough and had very little flavor. The gauc was ok. The service was slow, plates were left on the table all throughout the meal and we were not asked about the food after we started to eat. The seats in the booth were old and uncomfortable with ripped covers. There were flies buzzing around. There needs to be much improvement here. The 4 + stars the restaurant received are not deserved in my opinion.

My son and I went here after amusement rides etcWe sat at the bar! The bartender was so nice and engaging!The food was great and my drink had me feeling nice after a few sips ?‍??‍?

Love the ambient the food, and the "Tequilabird Marguerite". Definitely a place to go back.

The food was very subpar. The guacamole was very salty and the burrito was a disaster. I also have never seen green Mexican rice. Overall very disappointing meal. Won't be back

The food was very fresh it’s much bigger than it looks from the outside so can be considered a hidden gem to those who love Mexican. Not greasy like a lot of them out there. Definitely recommend going during happy hour as it is a bit pricey. The cilantro rice was best I’ve ever had in all my life and my wife is obsessed with Mexican food everywhere we go.

A short walk from our nearby hotel took us to this fine Mexican establishment. We were promptly greeted by the hostess, seated in a clean and inviting booth, and quickly approached by our server with menus and dinner recommendations. The menu was expansive! So many options. Finally, my wife selected a quesadilla and I choose a burrito. We didn't have to wait long for our meals to be delivered. Both were visually pleasing and served hot. Beyond tasty! The portions were beyond ample; had enough for lunch the next day. Overall, the restaurant exceeded our expectations and we'll definitely return next time we're in the area.

We love this place. We come and stay at the comfort suites JUST to eat at this restaurant! During COVID those margaritas to go were the best thing since sliced bread! We are actually on our way to oc right now!

Very good margaritas. Good food. Wait staff was helpful and made suggestions when asked. I had a very large burrito couldn't finish it all. Would definitely eat there again.
