First, the pros: wide selection of soft & alcoholic drinks, serve yourself variety of salsas & toppings, and quesabirria tacos on the menu. Sadly, they were out of birria tacos. No chorizo on the menu, and the Al pastor sope was so-so. Prices were not listed and rang up high ($6 for a single sope, $10 for an order of chips & guacamole). When food came out, chicken meat was soupy. All in all, not nearly as good as I would have hoped!

I had the choose 3 enchilada, burrito and chili relleno all ground beef. Flavorless. They replaced the first relleno because the poblano was tough. The replacement was the best thing I had it was 1/4 the size of the first and maybe this is how they should do it. Husband was not impressed with his Chimichanga.

It is the loudest compilation of bullshit similar crap music that sounds like Cher and her synthesizer designed to make you chew fast and get the hell out uncomfortably quick with the synthesizer and same beat in each piece. We like REAL Mexican music and even Mariachi. If you like an uncomfortable experience this might be for you. If you wanted a meal worth chewing, you came to the wrong place. Get out! PS we loved the staff until they missed having our back today. We did tip over 30% and enjoyed our time with you. Yes, we were here on your very first opening Day One and several times a week since. You have lost us!!! We were your easiest customers to profit from especially in the off season as we are not snowbirds and support the team in the slow summers. The problem is all mine of course because I come here too often. That, I can do something about. I can't take it anymore! Looped SYNTHESIZER MEXICAN MUSIC WITH A STUPID LIMPING DONKEY TYPE BEAT IS AGAINST THE LAW IN FLORIDA! Badump bom bom! Badump bom bom! Badump bom bom! Every fucking song!

Gringo out!

Came back to The Spot for lunch and it was a hit for us…read more We had only been once about 5 years ago. Now they use the back room which is bigger to check out and it is a dining area too. The front has a small dining area but you no longer check out there. We ordered 3 sopes. I had one of the three, and ordered one taco. It was so tasty. Also ordered horchata which was also great. Their food was so tasty and we definitely enjoyed it. Four stars just because I wish they ordered shrimp and or fish but the food we received were great and we will def be back sooner. They are located in an older building in construction and the entrance is on the side of it. Don't let that appearance shy you away. Service was excellent, efficient, & friendly.

I hesitated to give this review but our experience left us with such a bad feeling and reading…read moreanother reviewer who had a similar complaint I thought I should. We've only been here twice - the first visit was more than good - it was a busy night but we got seated outside and our food came out quickly. We ordered all appetizers to test a variety of food, and none of them disappointed. The server guy was fast and friendly. The second visit we came on a not-so-busy night, I'd say the place was about half full on a rainy day. My husband couldn't decide what to order - the menu is large, so he asked the server what she recommended. Without missing a beat she said the skirt steak was her favorite. So he ordered that. I ordered the short ribs. Even though the place was not busy, it took forever to get our meals this time, and the server was nowhere to be found - she didn't stop to explain the wait. Finally our meal came. The skirt steak was served sliced, with a side container of brussels sprouts. Average-looking. And my husband thought it was average-tasting. The shock was when we got the bill. Apparently the skirt steak was a Wagyu steak and the most expensive item on the menu. When the server recommended it she did not say it was a Wagyu steak and she didn't give a heads-up on the price. When I mentioned our surprise the server just shrugged it off. As the days passed by I felt more and more burned by the experience. Before writing this I looked at their web site to find the item and it was listed at $60. We were charged over $100 for the Wagyu skirt steak - don't know what happened there. I'm an old lady and this kind of thing has never happened to me at any restaurant anywhere.

Had a hankering for Mexican food and wanted to try someplace new…read more Entering the restaurant is a sign that lets you seat yourself. I found a booth and the waiter was there quickly with chips and salsa while he dropped a menu and took my drink order. The restaurant is colorful and decorated like many other similar restaurants, and the restaurant is clean and well lit. The food came out quickly, I ordered a chimichanga and quesadilla plate. The chimichanga had ground beef in it and was hot and good, the quesadilla was okay... not much flavor. I'd say the same for the rice and beans - good but no real flavors. All in all a good place to eat. Will try something new next time.

I had high hopes for El Molcajetes, and I think there is hope for them, but I have been…read moredisappointed whenever I've eaten there. The food is not bad, not at all, it's just very, very bland. We're in Palmetto, where there is a lot of Mexican people, so I was hoping the food would be a little more authentic tasting to appeal to the locals, but it appears as if the demographic they are trying to appeal to are the older folks, because honestly, this is how I would expect Mexican Night at a nursing home food to taste. Absolutely no spice in any dishes, all of them taste the same. This is a nice restaurant and I really want to see them do well, because they are so close to my house and with all the traffic going to Bradenton, it would be nice to have a great restaurant that's only a 2 minute drive away, but we end up driving to other Mexican restaurants, passing right by this one. Like I said, the food isn't bad, it will do if you are in a hurry or if your elderly relatives are visiting, but a little spice would be nice! I'll keep trying them, but after 5 visits, nothing has changed.

I beg you: come hungry! You're going to want to try everything!…read more I was on my way back to Tampa from Sarasota and decided to stop in. This standalone restaurant is on a busy road, but has plenty of parking and a little lake next to the lot. It's big but cozy, with a fun decor-lots of booths and tables in two different rooms plus a bar to belly up to. My server was sweet and attentive-but didn't hover. She had perfect timing. The complimentary chips were warm and the salsa had just a little kick to it-good combo. I had to order the white queso dip... I mean, who am I if I don't try the queso? It was silky and comforting. I ate every drop. By this time I was full-but I wanted to try more things. I ended up going with the build your own: one taco (really tasty! Simple but oh so good!), one chile relleno (generous serving-lots of meat and cheese/less pepper) and one chicken enchilada Suiza (I think it was dark chicken-but check me on that). This is a lot of food-and you also get two sides! I chose rice and black beans-which were both excellent. The lunch menu has great choices/prices and there's a happy hour from 3-7 (not sure if it applies to the weekend-should have checked-sorry!). The booth was comfy and it wasn't loud in there (except for the folks next to me-who I now know wayyyyy too much about!) I think the ac was out when I was there-or on its last legs. But that's fixable. I'll definitely go back again. I had the house margaritas this time (good! Perfect sweetness levels-lightly strong, if that makes sense) and want to try others on the list. Clean-casual-good service-big menu. Thanks, Poblanos! See you soon!

They have inside and outside seating here. Service is great and friendly. You order with them at the front and they bring your food to you. Definitely a must stop. Taco salads are really good here and only around $10-11. Burritos are up to $20 each. I'm happy with the tacos bc I don't want to feel full at the beach.
