EaterJanuary 3, 2014If you're craving a taste of tequila, it just doesn't get better than this new downtown spot. Order the crab tostadas, campechana and tongue tacos with one of their award-winning margaritas.- Blair AllenAugust 22, 2018Known for their infused tequilas, El Big Bad has phenomenal cocktails, margaritas, and tequila flights. The location is downtown, so you’ll have to find a parking garage or valet your car.
Patrick HaleyAugust 6, 2014Incredible tequila selection. Do yourself a favor and try the peanut butter jelly shot. Sounds weird, but oddly PB&J.- Blair AllenAugust 19, 2018 Known for their infused tequilas, El Big Bad has phenomenal cocktails, margaritas, and tequila flights.

- Zach RMay 18, 2015Blueberry jalapeño margarita is outstanding but very spicy. Huge selection of infused tequilas. Good service.
Aksel Quintus-BoszMarch 6, 2015Salsas are very good and cover a broad spectrum. Carnitas were tasty, Barbacoa not as good.
Anastasia KotelnikovaMay 30, 2015Infused tequilas rock! And 7 different salsas as well. Party place for tequila lovers!
Chardonnay PhelanApril 27, 2018DJ pumping some major jams on a Tuesday?! Kitchen closes at 10 on weeknights, but the balcony is spectacular!!!
Habanero and vanilla bean infused was incredible. So was the red beet
Micheladas are on point 👌 they make their own special mix. Carnitas tacos are the best.
- Val GMarch 29, 2014Margarita was ok. Seems like El Gran is better. Short rib and pork belly tacos were delicious
heather hoskinsSeptember 29, 2015Infused tequila is a genius idea. Wifi drink is great and tastes like coconut
Kate GomesNovember 19, 2015Good food and great tequila menu but very disinterested service, even on a quiet night.
T.s. WilliamsApril 22, 2016Lunch was horrible. fajita quesidella was served with no salsa, hot sauce, not even limes. No acids to offset. I requested a salsa was told it was extra. paired food convinced me it salsa would be

"Great bar keeps and a beautiful space! Real perk is that the capacity is kept low so you always have space, even on the busiest of nights."
