High-energy taco and tequila spot with strong drinks, lively scene, and flavorful tacos, but service inconsistency and loud volume can frustrate some guests.
Federales Tacos & Tequila delivers solid neighborhood appeal with above-average food quality anchored by crowd-pleasing pork and pineapple tacos and strong margaritas.
