Food was great! I'm from CA and we have great Mexican food; however, this place is the best I have had since moving here. I only wish they were located in central FL. Had the carnitas street tacos and they came with two sides of salsa - an avocado one and a spicy sauce, the spicy had a nice kick to it and I really enjoyed it. There was enough food to be left over for dinner that evening. My husband had the chimichanga and enjoyed his as well. Also the chips and salsa was delicious. The staff was very nice as well. Thank you BigOtes!!! read more

Great service, great food meh prices & that review was legit there was a gringa sleeping on the round booth to left in the back - shift change is a real thing! Never saw mgmt that was a pos maybe a Karen post perhaps? read more

Service was good and the food was okay. Surprisingly not busy since it was dinner time. The adult beverages were definitely overpriced. I might go back for lunch since they have a cheaper lunch menu and I wouldn't be ordering an adult beverage. &18.00 for a margarita and $7.00 for a beer read more

Got the recommendation for the best restaurant in town and this is where we were told to go. We were not steered wrong! Had delicious steak fajitas and shrimp tacos. Go ahead and give them a try if you haven't and want tasty Mexican food. read more

Best margaritas in town! They also have really good chips and salsa! The chips are light and crispy and the salsa is packed with flavor without being too spicy. It's a very clean and inviting atmosphere. The servers are always so nice and welcoming. Highly recommend read more

BigOtes - Chips , salsa and large margarita - Mexican Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Run of the mill heat and eat Mexican place. Nothing special about it, little better that Taco Bell. Probably won't go again.

Life is too short for bad food, my quest for good Mexican continues. This was a DoorDash delivery, otherwise I would've walked out after the first bite. Absolutely zero seasoning, and my chicken chimichanga was dry and flavorless. What a disappointment. Would never patronize again. read more

Service was good. But the food has no taste of flavor. I got beans, rice, shrimp and chicken tacos. Nothing at all. I don't know if it was because it was late night but I said I will try one more time and update my review if it is better. My son said his burrito, beans and rice was good. That's why I will go back one more time. read more

The food is great. The servers are wonderful. The management - not so good. We were put off by the way he spoke to his staff and his inefficiency. Lots of running around, saying no to customer requests, being rude to servers, and sweating. I'm sure he thought we didn't speak Spanish - we do. He would not let the kitchen serve me a cup of tortilla soup with my dinner. He said I could order the bowl or nada (nothing). Yo entiendo. The customer is always wrong? Also - they don't have flan. Deal breaker. read more

Delicious food!Great atmosphere and I love the salsa!!!!! I had the Steak Fajitas on my last visit

Best authentic Mexico food around ! Service is always great and fast! We loved in San Antonio for years and we know great Mexican food and this is it ! read more

Absolutely nasty. Idk if it was an off day or we ordered the wrong stuff, but the food was not edible. I never, ever complain about the food but this one did it for me. The tamales were as hard as a rock and dry If you want to choke on some dry chicken, then eat here. We ordered some chicken tacos and they served us huge chunks of chicken with zero flavor and sooo dry. Never again. Literally the only thing that was good was the horchata and my daughter ordered a burger which was good. read more

I love their taco salad and the beer is cold. That's all it takes to make me happy lol. They were a bit busy on a week night so we sat at the bar and received great service. read more

Food, atmosphere and staff were fantastic! This was my first visit and if I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely return!

We are locals and have eaten here a few times. Service is always quick and the food yummy. Prices are reasonable and portions large with a comfortable atmosphere. Recommend you try this next time you are in the mood for Mexican food! read more

The food was very good. We loved everything we ordered. We ordered online and brought it back to our hotel for dinner. It was very easy and the staff was very helpful. We were very happy with our choice for dinner. Recommended!! read more

Food was pretty good. Was charged for someone else's table. Called and went and got my refund. Waitress wasn't very attentive, but wasn't Awful. it's won't be back, but glad I got my $30 refund from the overcharge. Mediocre service. read more

Ok if you love real Mexican food then here is where to go. Staff is always friendly and polite and have not had a bad meal in the several times my wife and I have been there where we mainly go for lunch. Never been to crowded and food comes out fast! I mean we did not finish our chips and salsa before our food came out. They have TVs to watch, never is the volume up load so you can easily carry on a conversation which to me is a big plus! Dinner and conversation with my sweet wife, like a date lunch!! Lol. read more

Not the best Mexican food in town. The 'beef' is questionable. The service is good but the food is just not that good.

I ordered DoorDash delivery from here and was amazed at how good it was. Usually places skimp on delivery orders but this was amazing. I got the tacos (they come with 5 and I got steak and chorizo with cilantro and onion in soft corn tortillas) they were warm and very authentic and the sauce was really good and spicy. I also ordered a side of guacamole and was amazed at how much I received in addition to salsa and plenty of chips. The guacamole was very fresh (I hate premade!) read more

Have had lunch and dinner at BigOtes. Both were excellent. Great flavor; served piping hot. Margaritas are among the best I've ever had and I lived in Arizona for 15 years. This is authentic Mexican food done well. read more

I ordered food for pick up, was told 10-15 minutes and the food will be ready. I drove 18 minutes to this place and sat in the bar for 45 minutes waiting for 3 chicken fajitas and a chip and queso order!? For $80 I'd rather goto Publix and buy all the food and cook it myself. I'd save money and time, this place sucks read more

The food is mediocre, wayyy overpriced for what it is and the service is not great either. If you go, be sure to bring cash because if you try paying with a debit or credit card, chances are it will not go through and be flagged as fraudulent until you verify with the bank and even then, you still may have issues which to me is extremely sketchy. read more

Go eat here. Been here once and was impressed with the tex-mex style of food. Need more of this. Service was perfect. I love mexican and I always start with the enchiladas' and didn't they didn't disappoint. Try it yu'll like it read more

Been here a couple of times and it was pretty good both times. Excellent service. Margaritas are tasty and chips and salsa are fresh. I got the Carnitas plate which was great. My bf got the carne asada. His had a kind of almost sweet side to it, which isn't what he expected, but it had great flavor. We didn't leave anything on the plate. Great value. read more

Great and food and service was incredible!! Alfredo and chicken was great! Burrito was huge and tasty and kids burger and fries was phenomenal. Everyone left full and happy!! read more

The food was great and the price is reasonable! Lots of food too great Mexican restaurant.

Man! The service has been awesome. Chips and salsa were great! The food was fantastic. I really cannot say enough about the service. Would highly recommend! read more

Been to this new restaurant on 9 mile road two times thus far. Both times the service and the food have been outstanding. This place is something is totally different and special. Please go enjoy their outstanding menu and customer service. SMILE! read more

Great food. Lots of options on their menu. Good prices. Staff was friendly, and we loved their decor. Much better than Vallartas :) read more

Good food and good margaritas! Second best Mexican restaurant in the area! Been there several times and will continue to eat there!

Love it here. Everything is fresh and delicious. My favorite place by far. I had the enchiladas the last time I went here. Fabulous guacamole and chips. This place is for sure a hidden gem. read more

The manager is awesome and food is amazing! Carne asada plate is Definitely recommend!!! read more

So love this place, their shrimp tacos, are just amazing. The shredded cabbage and avocado topping just delicious.

While I usually prefer more traditional Mexican food, sometimes you just have a craving for the Mexican food that we grew up on here in the US. BigOtes didn't disappoint..! I'm a large fella and I went hungry and was expecting to have to order more than one plate but that wasn't the case. I had the Enchiladas Rancheros and the plate was absolutely loaded with food. The enchiladas were on point, everything tasted fresh and well seasoned. Was my first trip but definitely won't be my last..!! Glad to have a quality Mexican food restaurant on our end of town..! read more

Best chips & salsa around!!! Great food and cute decor! Good food and price for amount of food.

We really liked this restaurant. The service was good and food was great. The cheese dip is really good. The steak was good perfect and the rice was spot on too. My husband got the fajitas, which you do have to pay a small extra fee for the plate to be sizzling, which I think is dumb, but everything on it was cooked perfect. We also ordered chicken quesadillas and chicken chimichanga. All was good. The only reason for the 4 stars is the salsa. Every Mexican restaurant we have been to so far seems to have the same exact salsa. A little too much cumin. read more

This is a great Mexican restaurant for one specific reason - the salsa is amazing!!! The food and margaritas were good and the server was friendly. Worth the trip for the salsa. read more

Big O Tes is the new Mexican restaurant in the old Beef O'Brady's building across from Publix on Nine Mile at Pine Forest. Most of the online reviews are good, but some others were not, so we decided to check it out. We were pretty pleased with what we had. Our server was Mellissa, and although she seemed new and not very familiar with the menu, she was adorable, and went back to to ask about things she didn't know instead of making something up. That's a huge plus! The Mexican Dip with chorizo is the best choriqueso I've had from any restaurant around here. My son said the fajitas and said they were fine, but not as good as El Paso. The chicken looked dry to me. He said some of it was, and some wasn't. My husband had the ordered the Chipotle steak with shrimp added. I tasted it and it was smoky and spicy, the way chipotle should be. Very nice flavor with the caramelized onions and peppers! I ordered the Carnita street tacos. It came with slices of avocado on top. I cut up the avocado and asked for more cilantro because I love a lot of cilantro on my tacos. The green sauce tasted vegetal by itself, but was perfect on the tacos. I added both sauces, and all together it made them excellent tacos! The salsa and chips were good. The salsa was a little on the sweet side, and the chips were thin the way I like them. All in all, we had a good meal and a great time! *I will say as a side note though, and it may not have been them, but we got a call from the credit card company today about one of our card numbers being used on the west coast, and had to cancel the card. We used that card last night and haven't used it anywhere else for days. We talked to the manager to give him heads up just in case. He was very nice. read more

Food is delicious. The carne asada is the best thing on the menu. The only thing stopping this place from getting 5 stars is the wait staff. They don't really check on you after they drop your food off and it takes them awhile to bring your check/ refill your drinks. read more
