What a great place for dinner! We were seated at the outside tables with our dog and they even got him a water cup. Our server Alexandria was fantastic and very knowledgeable. She truly went above and beyond to accommodate us and even got my husband a free dessert for his birthday!Coming to the food, the taco salad was very tasty. But man the complimentary chips and salsa was out of the world! Hands down one of the best salsas we’ve had in a long time!!!! If they’d package and sell that salsa, we would buy bottles of it!! With food that tastes this good, we’re gonna be back soon!!Jefferson and Jorge were a lot of fun too!!

Taquilo's was the best Tex-Mex experience I've ever had! The restaurant itself is the perfect size for the atmosphere it brings. Our server was waaay ahead of the game on refills, our order, and our check. The food was incredible - from the chips and salsa to our meals. Outstanding restaurant in every way - great job Taquilo's!!!!
A lovely bar in the center of Galveston's historic quarter. Our server Jorge was wonderful. The food was delicious and came super quick. The prices were really good. A great experience.
This was my husband and I first time at Taquilos this evening. I was looking forward to purchasing their membership reward program because there are several restaurants that participate in the program that we visit often. (Just as I have a Landry Select membership.) But after experiencing awful service, I decided not to purchase the membership. We arrived at “table 1” around 5:45pm. We sat down and watched several employees running around like crazy, making eye contact with us but never acknowledging us. About 10 mins after we arrived, another couple sat down at “table 2” and were promptly greeted and started ordering drinks… meanwhile we were still sitting there waiting to be acknowledged. The young lady working the bar noticed we hadn’t been taken care of and asked several employees if “table 1” had been taken care of… she was told yes but we hadn’t. We remained patiently sitting and my jaw just about dropped when table 2 was already having their dinner order taken, yet we still hadn’t been acknowledged at all. Finally the employee that helped “table 2” came to take our dinner order but I politely informed him that we hadn’t even placed our drink order. IT WAS A DISASTER!!! When our food came out, my fajitas were not cooked as I ordered them and my husband asked for corn tortilla tacos but he received flour… the only great thing we had was the chips and the ranch/sour cream dip. We were very disappointed. The scenery of downtown Galveston was nice, but other than that, I wish we had a better experience.

The service was excellent and there was little to complain about once the food came. I have eaten here several times and the only thing holding me back from 5 stars is the lack a cleanliness. I get it bugs are going to be an issue outside but gnats and fruit flies inside are avoidable, it is also hard to come by a table that has been cleaned well. **UPDATE** Food was still good. Flies are still a problem. Our server did not speak English well and a second server had to translate. In addition the server did not provide napkins, silverware or drink refills until flagged down. At the end of our meal the server asked if he could go next door to the grocery store to get change. Very strange service this time.

We always go to Taquilo’s when we visit Galveston. The food is always fresh and consistent. Margaritas are delicious! The two salsas /dips are different and wonderful. Staff is always friendly. It’s one of our favorite restaurants to visit anywhere.Parking: You can go down or over a street or two and find free street parking. Beside the restaurant there is paid street parking.

Had a wonderful dinner there. The weather was great so we ate outside. The food and service were both great. We enjoyed our queso, chicken enchiladas, and chicken quesidillas. Definitely recommend this restaurant.
