Amazing view and great drinks!
Nice open air bar.
Good food and service.
Good staff
Great Service and Great Food and Awesome Atmosphere , The Slushie Mixed with Alcohol is Amazing
I had the Carne Asada Quesadilla and it was amazing! I enjoyed the atmosphere of outdoor dining.
Spicy margarita are fantastic! Bartenders were professional, courteous and accommodating!!
Nice poolside restaurant at Marriott.
This place is absolutely amazing. Excellent food and service. Highly recommend it!
Pitcher of margaritas by the pool... always a great way to spend an evening
Hangin' poolside at Tequila's, Marriott Marquis San Diego.
Excellent service, great drinks in a casual atmosphere. The staff are friendly and the food mouthwatering. Try the burger served on a torta roll or the caesar salad with jidori chicken.
Upscale hotel restaurant vibe, helpful/ friendly staff, decent drinks/food. Came out to $100 (1 app, 1 salad, and 2 drinks each).
This place is the pool bar/restaurant at the Marriott. Order at the bar, and they will deliver your food to your pool chair. All drinks we ordered were tasty and the beers were cold. We tried several of the food options, and everything was really good with large portions. Prices are what I expected for the convenience.
The Tequilla Bar and Grille is a picturesque place to eat, grab a drink and to enjoy the beauty of the Marriott Marquis. There is ample seating spots for you and your friends, which includes fire pits (gas) and comfortable chairs. Enjoy the epic San Diego weather while enjoying some good Mexican food.
We were a bit disappointed with the quality of food we got with room service so ventured outside.... and havent stopped coming to the poolside since!! the food served here is AMAZING. Their panko crustd halibut tacos are so delicious as is their taco salad! though a bit pricey, definitely recommended.
Very chill service .. the sound of water around is very nice and calm .... hard to not tell .. I have been in a few waterfalls and is juat missing the moisture of the air ... nice place // actually the mai tai is really good better than average so I recommend drinks that need good skill from a bartender .
Bartenders were super friendly and willing to mix drink of choice . Only had drinks but drinks were great. Prices are not cheap my friends.
The battered fish Tacos are amazing! It is light with a slight beer taste. All I needed was a cold margarita... working lunch.
Nice in the beach bar and grill. The view is amazing. Drinks and apps a must. Plus they are dog friendly.

Nice chill spot to grab some bomb food and take in some great views.
Chill vibes and what you’d expect for cocktails and food at a hotel pool-side bar. Strong cocktails are great as well as the quesadilla. They close early, which I thought was odd. Maybe it’s different on weekends as I was there during the week. (7pm)

Great place to meet up with friends and relax.
Good place
Good food, good environment and good prices. Placing your order at the bar was slow. Two guys just stood there and did nothing while the other two were helping people.
Tequila choices were decent for a hotel location. This was a definite favorite! The staff was very friendly and informative about the area as well. Currently there is no food service during the week.

Nice place to get drinks and some food. The tacos had very hard shells though. So hard they cracked one of my wife's teeth. I thought I was chewing on a bone at one point. But the bartenders work hard and so does the wait staff. Drinks were phenomenal.
Great food and drinks. Recommend the margaritas, chicken quesadillas, and carne asada tacos (times two comes with excellent housemade tortilla chips). Served poolside makes it even better. Lost a star because they used to take orders from the lounge chairs - but now you have to go to bar yourself and then they deliver the food (but not drinks).

Nice poolside food option, definitely twice the cost for the quality just because you're at the hotel, but food was still tasty and service was friendly.
Great carne asada tacos. Burger is super greasy and almost inedible, unless extra grease is your thing.
Service was quick and the food was pretty good. Good spot to grab some snacks while enjoying the pool outside the hotel.

The bar was closed 2 out of 3 times we stopped here even though they were supposed to be open until 10pm. Finally, we were able to go when they were open. We ordered 2 drinks and guac and chips. While we were having our cocktails, they started closing up and pulling down the metal shades. There were people still sitting up at the bar and others, like us sitting around the fire pits. I thought they could've at least gone around to see if anyone needed another drink before closing. It was very odd.
What more would one want, eating outside year round! Though, would be an improvement when food was either better quality and with real utensils or less huge in size. Can be better I would say. Now it is just a bit above average.
Place closes at 9p odd for being outdoor next to pool, but that's not the issue here. Biggest issue, both bartenders seemed not to want the guests there. They started closing the shutters at 815p! In our side was us plus another couple & where told he will close it (was 830p). Seen both bartenders turn guest away! So 9p closing must reference employee home at 9p. Of course they (hotel) will charge you $18+ for a drink and you get served in solo plastic cups. If it wasn't for atmosphere this would get zero rating in my book. You want better drinks & services go upstairs to Marina kitchen. I put 4 stars for food, I ordered fries, they came hot & guacamole & it was good.

Great margaritas and nachos. The bartender and the manager were great, but the servers were either extremely disgruntled or completely clueless about hospitality. Corporate will hear the details, but trust me, just sit at the bar.
Had the guacamole and chips, and a margarita. The drink was okay. The guacamole tasted pre-made from a grocery store, as did the tortilla chips. Definitely did not meet expectations.
Be careful. I waited in line 30 minutes. My card wouldn't work (it worked later at another place) and they don't take cash. So I couldn't get anything.

Queso came cold with a handful of broken chips. They did give some whole ones when we went and asked. Drinks were pricey and not very strong.

How do I locate their phone number?
The biggest issue with this place is the bartenders horrible customer service the place was kinda empty and asked for a menu for the tequilas because I couldn't see from far since I didn't have my glasses with me the bartender response was thats all we have you can see it on the wall OK thanks for nothing lol we left first and last time here ....
The drinks were good but service was horrible I went in the evening and I never got asked if they can take my order. I was there for like an hour and I got my own drink from the bar but did not try the food.
$17 margaritas that were nothing but ice and Grand Marnier. If there was any Patron in there, I sure didn't taste it. Like bitter cough medicine. Nope.
I heard the bar tenders are constantly picking up people wives. Beware.
Went in for drinks and appetizer. Not very busy, but wouldnt let us sit at a table, inside or outside.. They are only for guests ordering a full meal. Told we had to sit at bar. I'm 70 and had my 24 year old granddaughter. We chose to leave.
The food was great. The service was extremely lacking .. despite a $10 tip for subpar service they over charged my credit card by $5. Of course I didn't know until I saw my statement. Buyer beware!
Wanted to try this place for my 4 day stay, came down around 6:30pm Saturday 11/18/2023 they were shut down because apparently they closed at 6pm? meanwhile they operate lunch & dinner 11am - 8pm, and bar 11am-9pm. They are closed on Sundays and today Monday came down around 1pm and they were closed? Seriously? I talked to a staff about it and they said they have been closed because it’s been slow? Not the answer I wanted to hear but this property charges a resort fee of $35 resort fee per day! I expect property to take care of their guests since they pay that $35 dollar resort fee ! It’s frustrating. Hate to stay this but I loose interest companies like this for a “being slow” meanwhile charging “resort fee” to every guest? Wow disappointing
Service is awful. Bartenders look they hate life and everyone. Ordered a dirty vodka martini, received vodka with some sort of sweet mix. Asked for a new one and was given my same drink with olive juice added . The day before our drinks took almost 30 min ( after waiting 20 min to even be addressed) then the person i was with waited another 40 min after ordering chips and salsa and I had to say something , was told it’s “busy” (not sure how chips and salsa could take that long) right after I said that miraculously her chips were ready.

I guess I should have read on it but it was at a hotel when I got the uber from the airport. When I got there it was close,
