Tipsi Monkey Taco & Tequila Bar

Great food and fantastic margaritas! The patio is great on a summer evening. We tried the tacos for 2 and really enjoyed getting to try different combinations. The sangria swirl margarita is a fav!

I give this place 5 star for their Margaritas and that it’s close to my home! The food was also good though! I ordered the queso fundido for an appetizer! Omg… sooo good! my husband enjoyed his tacos and we got the flan for dessert I will be coming back for sure! Margaritas every night

Great pork tacos, and really really good beans. Like the atmosphere and service is quite pleasant. Clean and nice light atmosphere. I’ll go back.

I choose this restaurant based on the reviews, so I decided to schedule a sister date here on a Friday night. We ordered the fajita skillet with the queso dip which was delicious. The Queso dip is homemade so I will suggest ordering it before you arrive to the restaurant, if you are going to eat it as appetizer it takes a while for it to get done. But it is worth it. The service and food was good even after my sisters and I were some of the last people in the restaurant we were not kicked out. Lol
Make reservations they are very busy on weekends.
I will definitely be returning

Pretty good food. Not necessarily authentic Mexican but still good nevertheless! Clean establishment and friendly servers. Decent prices. I highly recommend the Monkey Burrito!

I really like this place. The décor is really cute, very clean and the place has a nice vibe. The wing appetizer was tasty. Crispy wings with really good fries and ranch dipping sauce! The tacos are served on small corn tortillas. The steak meat was tender and seasoned well. Yummy margaritas. We had great service from Christina.

I love this place. Good fish tacos and excellent service. I’m looking fire ward to my next visit!

We’ve lived in Bartlett for about four years now and the Tipsi Monkey is not far from us. We’ve talked about going since it opened up but for one reason or another never gone. (We’re not ‘bar people’ and over time the Tipsi Monkey seems to be marketing itself as more of a bar than a restaurant, so that’s part of it.) But finally this week we went… and are glad we did.
We went about five o’clock mid-​week and found the place nicely designed, clean, and the music at a reasonable level. We opted to sit in the dining area instead of the bar area, which is nice. Our server was very friendly and attentive. The $ 5 happy hour margarita surprised us by being HUGE. We ordered the Tacos for Two which we also found tasty and plentiful. (So much so that we took home leftovers. I won’t promise that you will since we each had just two tacos and the are small, but it was plenty for us.) The rest of the menu was not expansive, but also not small and we saw other items we’d like to try on future visits. The cost is about what we expected to pay for a sit-​down place with table service.
All in all, we were extremely pleased with our experience and plan to add it to our list of regular places. :-)

bad food and bad services. They bartender kept leaving the bar to play games on his computer.

We are new residents in Bartlett and wanted to give this place a try. It’s a Friday night and you expect it to be busy however our server took over half an hour just to get our drinks and order placed. When we got our food, they said one of our friends food plate disappeared. We had to wait another ten minutes for her plate to come out. The food was okay, it wasn’t the greatest Mexican food we had. Our server was Meagan she wasn’t exceptional either. Overall, I wouldn’t come back due to unpleasant service and lack to attention.

Loved the food at this place! It’s a little pricey, but the service is good, the food is really flavorful, and the atmosphere is fun. We’ve been there twice recently and really enjoyed it. If you’re looking for some new flavors in the area, this place is worth a try. In my opinion the restaurants in Bartlett aren’t very good in general, but this one is one of the best.

Was recommended by friends, spent New Years Eve at Tipsi Monkey, very friendly staff met the owner. Carne Asada was excellent, kid friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

Great food, delicious hand made guacamole and smooth margaritas made with primo tequila. Our first time visiting on «Taco Tuesday» night and loved the shrimp, fish and carnitas tacos. The chili lime sauce on coconut shrimp is delicious. Love the way they cook and serve their pinto beans and rice too.

I haven’t even enjoyed my food yet because the Margarita is too delicious to let go!!! Just the right amount of flavor that truly allows Tipsi Monkey to live up to its name! I highly recommend a visit to this family friendly yet after work gem! 5 stars from a soon to be Tipsi Monkette

This is a regular spot for me. Probably the best margiritas and tequila selection in the area. Over the last year or two I have tried everything on the menu and never have had a bad meal. What really makes this place so special is the service. Whether it’s Mo, Rishi or Megan taking care of us they always make the place feel like an extension of home.

Went here for drinks and appetizers. The service was slow and the drinks were very weak. This place has a nice atmosphere, but lacks service and quality for the price.

Fun place to have some decent Mexican food. Had the tacos for two, good deal. Friendly atmosphere and good libations

We came here for dinner on Saturday. We loved it! Our sever was Nicholas and he did such a great job of going over the menu for us and telling us what everything was. Everything came out quickly and tasted great! We read the reviews before going in, and can’t help but laugh at what people have said. We each had a huge margarita, shared two appetizers and each had an entrée and our bill was only $ 75. Curious to know where people go for a sit down dinner and get the quantity of food, plus the quality for any cheaper. Obviously they don’t know or understand the food business. Thank you tipsi monkey for a great date night! We will be coming back!
For those of you who won’t try this place because of a few «it’s expensive» or bad reviews, I highly suggest you rethink that. Not everyone will have a bad experience, if that was the case, it wouldn’t be open!

I stopped here the other day with my girlfriend for a night out. I was welcomely surprised when I saw a small sign that said 15% off for teachers on Fridays. I inquired, and it was true. Already a 4 stars in my book for offering that.
On to the meal and drinks–
The bartender made us drinks that were not on the menu and it was fantastic. I then shared with our waiter that I needed to eat gluten free and he was very accommodating with it. Although there were not many gluten free choices, I was able to eat safely, which is what matters most.
I ordered the steak tacos and they were fantastic. The side of guacamole was great as well.
I’ll definitely be coming back!

This review is based on the drinks/​bar experience only.
Came here with a friend for pre-​dinner drinks. The space is pretty cozy, with a vibrant decorated atmosphere. We sat at the bar and were immediately greeted by the bartender despite the crowd. She have us chips and salsa and asked if we wanted to try tequila shots. The bartender gave us recommendations and was super knowledgable! We later ordered frozen margaritas which were served in huge glasses and not overly fruity, which was perfect.
The place was clean, staff was friendly, and we really enjoyed our drinks. Tipsi Monkey is a great place to meet friends and grab a few drinks. I’ll definitely be coming back with the girls!
