Tequila's 55 — Restaurant in Dover

Booked their upstairs party room for a birthday celebration. They were very good at the food and drinks. Service from the actual staff was also attentive somehow at times it was rushed and dismissive. Come time to decorate and fix up the room i was given little flexibility. They would have someone come and open the door at 5 and not earlier. I mean, im not coming in for dinner... im booking a full event and paying four figure totals... not an $80 dollar check... I felt it was unfair as my booking started at 7:30 and it left me little room to decorate as i also had to get ready for my event. The room wasnt entirely clean, confetti and random unvaccuumed debris was visible. the vaccuum was leaned by the buffet table, stacked chairs and tables were visible as a background and the bar's main use seems to be storage room. For the seating : I had a floor plan and seating chart for my guests. I was expecting about 55 people. I requested 2 tables that could seat 10, 3 tables that could seat 6 and a table that could seat 8, a table of 4 and a table of 5.. Well it didnt matter what i requested because when i saw the room all the tables were 8 seaters. I spoke to the owner and he proceeded to tell me that if i wanted them certain way then to go, move tables, chairs, reset and fix them myself. I did personally hand him the seating chart and then again im the one paying you to have this done for me. Next issue. I asked to have access and use of the projector. The owner said that i needed to hire their dj for sound and audio as he was the one that handled that part. I agreed to the additional charge of $200 for a DJ as i had to absolutely show a slide for my guests. Come the day of, the DJ showed up late. It wouldnt have been an issue had the guy been able to set up the projector. He claimed the other DJ was the one with knowledge of this. I specifically told the owner I NEEDED the A.V sistem... months in advance. Again, he simply took the money and didnt seem to care. My slide was never shown. The dj had little knoledge of music and i found myself several times by the booth playing music with my phone because when the room would go silent he claimed he had bad signal.... lets keep in mind i actually paid and they took my money for the DJ. I had a total attendance of 43 guests. Come time to pay the check he claimed it was a minimum of 50 guests per party. This was never stipulated at any time during the booking. I felt robbed. I will most likely not book future events here and i will most definately not recommend booking this place. Maybe do a bit more diligence, look around for other places and even if a bit more has to be paid at other hall rentals it would most likely save disappointments, frustration and keep u from being taken...

The food was AMAZING. I can’t remember the last time I went out to eat and I liked everything I tried! Very authentic! Loved the decorations hanging and our server was really sweet and gave us this amazing sauce, in addition to the broth, to try with our Birria tacos, that was phenomenal. We did feel the alcoholic drinks were STRONG so, be warned in that aspect. Only thing I didn’t like about the atmosphere was after being there for a bit they started playing music really loudly and it was very overstimulating and made us want to leave - I would’ve expected that in a Friday or Saturday night but for a Sunday it caught my party a little off guard. Overall, will definitely be back though!

Only complaint was when I used the restroom, there was no soap to...
