Casa Tina: I Came for Tacos, Left Questioning My Life Choices (in a good way) Let me just say this--Casa Tina is not a restaurant... it's a spiritual journey with chips and salsa as your guide. We sat down and within seconds, chips and salsa hit the table like they were on a mission. Not just any salsa--this stuff tasted like someone's abuela personally supervised the tomatoes. I blacked out for a bit and came to... basket empty. Respect. We ordered like we had zero self-control: Queso Fundido - melted cheese with chorizo?? I would like to formally apologize to my arteries. Worth it. Casa Ceviche - fresh, bright, and made me feel like I suddenly understood the ocean Yucca Fries - crispy, golden, and honestly... why are regular fries even trying anymore? Then the mains came out and everything got serious. I had enchiladas (don't ask which ones, I was emotionally overwhelmed), and they were covered in a sauce so good I considered asking for a side of it to take home and bathe in. Someone else got the Mole Poblano, and I'm pretty sure I watched them have a full spiritual awakening mid-bite. Like... eyes closed, head tilted, rethinking life decisions. Another hero at the table ordered Tacos de Birria, dipped them in consommé like a seasoned professional, and I immediately knew I've been eating tacos wrong my entire life. Also--whoever invented the option to mix and match everything on this menu clearly woke up and chose chaos (the best kind). You want beef, chicken, jackfruit, shrimp, AND portobello? Go off. Live your truth. The vibe? Colorful, chill, and feels like a place where you accidentally stay for 3 hours because you ordered "just one more thing" 7 times. Service? Incredible. The staff somehow knew exactly when we needed more chips, more drinks, and more emotional support. Dessert? Yeah... we didn't need it. We got it anyway. Fried Ice Cream - illegal levels of delicious Churros - I would fight someone over these and I'm not proud of it AI Review Summary (but honest): Food: Ridiculously good, borderline life-changing Portions: Generous enough to ruin your plans for the rest of the day Service: Psychic-level awareness Atmosphere: Fun, vibrant, zero rush Overall: You don't just eat here--you commit Final Verdict: Casa Tina didn't just feed me... it humbled me. I came in thinking I was hungry. I left knowing I was unprepared. read more

Best Mexican food our family has had in a long time, especially the fresh pico with chips. Server was friendly and fast. We loved the atmosphere, and the kids enjoyed the decorations. Food was a little pricey for lunch , but overall very good. read more

Love this place from the minute I walked in, super friendly staff and the decor was really nice too ..they have a really nice menu...lots of choices. Chips and Sauca are not complimentary, Salsa is delish! Guacamole and Chips, amazing..Guacamole is the best I have had! Ordered the Tostada's, they were served with Rice and Beans..the portion was huge and delicious!! Not a fan of the Rice, no flavor..everything else was wonderful...we will be back and highly recommend! read more

Amazing authentic Mexican food! Right in the middle of downtown. The vibes were bumping and the line to get in was long. Service was quick and when an order came out wrong, they fixed it fast. We were recommended this place by 2 people before going in and they didn't steer us wrong. The manager was even walking around and checking in on guests. Viva casa Tina!! read more

First visit to Casa Tina and we enjoyed it. I will say that the prices here are quite high so not a place I could visit on a regular basis. We ordered lower priced items. We ordered Monterrey Nachos ($13.95) which had black beans, Monterrey Jack & queso fresco cheeses, sour cream and sliced jalapeños. Quesadillas with cheese and a fire roasted salsa for dipping ($10.50) and we ordered American Tacos with Cactus, tomato, lettuce, cheese and sour cream ($16.95). Service is friendly and as attentive as we wanted. The restaurant is decorated for Christmas so it felt nice and festive. You can tell that the restaurant is normally decorated really nice and stylish. The food is tasty and fresh. Definitely a place to consider visiting if you are on the area. read more

A Mexican restaurant located in downtown Dunedin, FL. There is seating inside or on the patio. The weather was beautiful so we sat outside. The place was nicely decorated for Christmas. We did not have to wait. Their menu has a big variety/options to choose from. The food was delicious. Our waitress, Paula, was attentive, knowledgeable, and very friendly. The prices were very reasonable for the amount of food we received. I would definitely be visiting again next time I am in town. read more

Wow! This place was beyond what I expected. Since the smokehouse we wanted to go to I ended up randomly picking this place. The reviews were mixed but we were starving and figured let's just check it out. Service was absolutely great, waitress was attentive and ensured we were okay the entire time. Their margaritas were delicious even the house one! The mango spicy one was def the fave though. Now the food...ceviche was tasty. The carnitas were so good especially with the rice, beans, onions, and cilantro on corn tortillas. My hubby had the flounder which was delicious! My son had the cheeseburger which he loved. My daughter had grilled chicken with rice and fries and she loved it especially their rice. Overall a great experience. We would recommend if you are in the area. We drove over from Clearwater and it was worth it. read more

Molly was simply amazing! She made the whole experience worthwhile. She was attentive and kind. Food was delicious, my flutes were so well seasoned and the food was enough to get me full. I was able to take one back to the hotel to enjoy for dinner later. My pina colada was great not too strong. This is a great spot for lunch as they have amazing lunch specials and or dinner . read more

So I came back during the Cinco De Mayo fest they have at Dunedin...And speaking as someone who's eaten here solo a couple of times, I will say a few things. I find the way they serve non-bar solo customers really confusing...You see, if you aren't sitting at the bar and you're at solo seating, you have to physically go to the bar to either get a menu or be served what you want. Not really a problem but the sign that indicates it is a bit vague on that part. I assumed it was in regard to alcoholic drinks, but I guess it's in regard to...Well...Everything. I get why they do that but still, leaving solo customers to fend from themselves is definitely a first. Also, if you're solo, expect service to be slower than if you're in a group even after you establish yourself as a paying customer. Having said that, they're polite when you approach the bar area and the environment is definitely warm and well decorated so I absolutely commend them on that. I do want to try some of their main courses again in-spite of my previous experience, so I look forward to coming back on a later day. read more

Popped by for some snacks and drinks on a hot afternoon. Was bummed they didn't have a happy hour mid afternoon. We got house margs that were strong and good. Service was good. Salsa is unique but good. Guac was good. Skillet cheese had no flavor. A little pricey and not what we are used to. Wish Florida did Mexican better! read more

We prefer coming for lunch on weekends because it's less crowded -- especially if you go at 2:30/3. We also enjoy the lunch specials which are available even on weekends between 11-3. Be sure to visit around Christmas or Halloween -- the decor is so nice. I have to say they were quite busy because it's a holiday weekend and the service was excellent. My only complaint is that the steak on my quesadilla was shredded. That's on me for not asking how it was served. read more

If you want to sample some great authentic Mexican food, come here. And come here often to get taste of everything on the menu. I'm going to have to move Casa Tina up to my #1 Mexican restaurant in Pinellas County. Fresh. Home made. Great taste combinations. Authentic meals. Unique décor. Family owned and operated. We got the chips with a trio of salsas; roasted tomato, guacamole and queso fundido. Chips were thinner than most places but could hold up to the chunkiest of salsas. The tomato salsa was chunkier than I am used to, but incredible flavor. It would make a great side salad all by itself. We also got their "3 Amazing Hot Sauces". And they were. One avocado based sauce tasted very fresh, refreshing and green. Another had a smokey taste and the other was a wonderfully hot red sauce. We got the Arroz Cabezon. It was a mix of shredded chicken and pork in a pibil sauce which is made with a mixture of spices and annatto. This could have easily been made with a tomato sauce with chili seasoning. Not here. They went with a traditional Yucatan dish. The pickled red onion topping was an unexpected flavor add. One of the main reasons why this restaurant is now at the top of my Mexican restaurant list is the wide diversity of dishes; Grilled corn, ceviche and smoked salmon nachos. Queso Panela Salad and Posole. Pescado ala Veracruzana. And I've never seen Tacos De Lengua (beef tongue) anywhere. Paula, our server was excellent. She was always there when we needed her. She was knowledgeable about the food and how it is prepared. The décor is varied and incredible. Not the typical stuff on the walls. Chairs were decorated with hand carvings. There are quite a few family photo collages around which really show a sense of family pride in the place. read more

Delicious food and wonderful ambiance. There was an aerialist performing while we were eating, and the decor is a wonderful blend of day of the dead and Frida Kahlo. My wife and I had the dos moles: both were delicious. The poblano is sweet and earthy, while the verde is savory and flavorful. My son had the flounder fajitas and loved them. My wife and I are vegan, and they actually had both portobellos and jack fruit as plant based substitutes. The service was fast and friendly. Highly recommended! read more

We got seated about 8:50 PM and no one came to our table to offer us water or take our order. After waiting over 25 mins, we walked out of Casa Tina at 9:15 PM. We ended up going to a local joint by our house and we were attended by the waiter in less than 2 mins from sitting down. We have been to Casa Tina over 5 times, but their service has gone down from our previous visits. read more

We really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately the food was disappointing overall. We ordered tacos de lengua and posole soup. The rice was undercooked, and the lengua tacos was very dry, crunchy, unseasoned which made the tacos hard to enjoy. The only thing we liked was the posole soup--it was flavorful and comforting, and the service was actually good as well. However, the main dishes didn't meet our expectations, especially for the price. Because of that, we wouldn't recommend going out of your way to eat here. Hopefully it was just an off day, but our experience wasn't great. read more

This place is EVERYTHING but authentic, like NOTHING tasted authentic, I miss so much LA restaurants, Mexican restaurants here are a joke like this one, how come a burrito is full of salsa and not even wrapped? Like THIS is NOT a burrito, how come a burrito has the rice and beans on the sideeee, the esquites were the most tasteless esquites and the queso fundido is basically Publix cheddar salsa chesse pretty much, is a salsa chesse is not really queso fundido. The chef decided to create a new version of what he calls Mexican food, but is literally the LESS authentic place I've been in my whole life read more

When I looked up the rating for Casa Tina, I was a little surprised that it was lower than what I expected. We were in Dunedin last night for Dia de los Muertos, and I believe it was put on by Casa Tina's.. They had singers, a little skit and dancers very nice performance anyways we decided to go eat at the restaurant and I had Mor and Mor there. It was a two type thing. It was delicious. I really enjoy the regular. They're black beans or scrumptious. My husband had a Fish dish and it was mahi-mahi. It tasted really good. I just think they cooked the fish a little too long so that is why it's a four star and not a five star. I did not catch our server name, but he was an excellent server. read more

Olivia, my server, was delightful and stopped by frequently to check on me. I had their lunch special, Enchiladas En Salsa Roja. From the menu: Soft corn tortillas filled with chicken, beef,veggies, cheese, or anyone combination. Baked in a slightly spicy New Mexico red chili sauce and topped with onions, queso cotija,cilantro and sour cream. It comes with black beans and rice. After reading recent reviews I was expecting some amazing food. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. The enchiladas were average. The sauce wasn't spicy at all. The rice and beans were average as well. I'll be back to try other menu items. read more

Horrible experience today. Took over an hour for waitress to take our order. Then she was rude the entire time. We had family in from out of town. We will never go back to casa Tina. Food is mediocre at best and service is always lacking. Today was just worse than usual. read more

I had a fantastic lunch here, but I think the main point of this review is just such an amazing area downtown Dunedin Florida is. It's something out of a Hallmark Christmas movie and I happen to be there two weeks before Christmas so the entire downtown area including Casa Tina was all decorated for Christmas. Our server was Paula, who was really fantastic and explained several things on the menu, but also the specials for the day and I ended up going with the enchilada Roja. The menu is huge FYI. I wish I would've taken a picture of it as it came with this wonderful red sauce that went very well with the entire meal. Huge portion for $16. We did start out with the house trio sampler, which is the house, salsa, house, guacamole, and house, cheese sauce with the chips and I highly recommend that as well. It was also nice because we got to sit on the enclosed patio and take all the aesthetics that downtown Dunedin offers. Great view and great lunch experience as well as fantastic service. read more

I love the food and atmosphere of this restaurant! Tonight we did luck out and have the owner Tina as our waitress! She was amazing.

Go on Saturdays where they have live entertainment. read more

Casa Tina is a colorful, vibrant restaurant in Dunedin. The food was great and the atmosphere festive. Our server was very attentive. The only reason that I did not give this place five stars was that the music was so loud. It was difficult to have a conversation. That coupled with the large party sitting next to us and the noise level was Way too high. read more

Ambiance is best in the County. Service is awesome. Food is outstanding. They tend to chisel however and they kind of have that vibe amongst locals. It's OK to charge for chips and salsa but $22 Fajitas Came with 3 tiny tortillas. I asked for a few extras so I could actually finish my fajitas. Charged me $1.50 for 3 more. They dispense napkins like they're silk. Some kind of $1.60 service fee. This kind of behavior hurts them more than they realize. My wife can't stand this kind of behavior and I will have an impossible time getting her to return. read more

We went to the Dunedin Arts Festival and Farmers Market last Saturday. It's was a great opportunity to take in the sights. For lunch we decided to have lunch at Casa Tina. They had a special lunch menu for the festival. I enjoyed the chicken taco salad and hubby had the taco special. Very yummy house skinny margarita and chips were tasty with three different sauces. We had about a 30 minute wait to be seated but to be expected from the crowds. Service was great and food was tasty. Fun day trip! read more

Took visiting family to Casa Tina. We all had wonderful meals and drinks. Service was great, friendly and attentive. The portions were huge and we had several boxes to go home.

Today we came here for lunch and had a nice meal much to my surprise. Why? Because I'm still on the hunt for awesome Mexican food in this area. Now today's meal is a strong contender and was close to getting 5 stars but there were a few misses. Let's talk about the positive first. The vibe, atmosphere, speed of your food and service were all top notch! Even the hostess was friendly and offered to take our stroller to hold in the back and even brought us a high chair. We started with some Guac with different salsas besides the pico de gallo which was tasty and fresh. The other two salsas were not spicy nor flavorful but kinda watery. I did the house Marg and Mo did another type of Marg which was waaaay better than the House version. Sorry I forgot the name of hers. I ordered the Carnitas con Chicharrones en Salsa Verde. Let me just say "wow! because not only was it tasty and the Carnitas were fried a little but there was some Nopales in there as well! The negative was the rice (Bland) and the beans (I really didn't care for the watery down Frijole Negro beans). I did appreciate the homemade tortillas they have there. Both of us enjoyed this spot and would come again in the future but right now, I still seek a 5 star Mex Restaurant in this area. read more

Had dinner Monday night and there are no happy hour specials sadly. Also no free chips and salsa, $3 for that. The house margarita was great and for $9 can't complain. The portion sizes are enormous it'd be nice if they offered half size for less as the taco salad is a bit soggy and hard to reheat the next day. It was really good though and the beef is shredded. My friends asked for sides of salsa and sour cream and they charge a couple dollars for each but staff doesn't tell you that. Other dinner items like fajitas and enchiladas are around $22. read more

Cute restaurant in the heart of downtown Dunedin. The food is really good and they even have ariel acrobatic shows in the restaurant for entertainment on some days. I can't get over the pricing though, even in this economy we are in. Family of 4, each had a meal, two orders of chips and salsa for the table and water to drink...$100 plus tip. I get that things are pricey these days but never have I spent so much at a Mexican restaurant (without alcohol). It's still a big draw in the lovely downtown area and the food was very well made. Servers and hostesses were very nice as well. Neat place to visit sometime if you're in the area. read more

Great drinks, great atmosphere, food was very good. We all enjoyed our apps and meals. Super friendly staff l, huge bonus.

If you come on a Friday or any busy time, I recommend that you get a reservation otherwise you may be standing anywhere from 25 minutes to an hour. It being very roomy and having outdoor seating, we still had to wait and then we were tucked away in the back. Our waitress was there immediately, and took care of us. Everything taste very fresh and the portions are good., and enough to take home with you. The place is eclectic and it's fun to look around having traveled all over Mexico. This definitely gives an authentic Mexican feeling. read more

WONDERFUL... Not often you find a place where the decor AND the food leave you speechless!! Easy to tell that this place is a true labor of love and a nostalgic trip back "home" to Mexico for me. I had my "standard" chile relleno, which was expertly prepared, "elevated," but far from fussy. My friends enjoyed their cocktails (they have a HUGE listing of TEMPTING offers...) and their late lunch/early dinner choices as well. Great service, VERY reasonable prices, a WONDERFULLY tempting menu, and the coziest, most eclectic Mexican decor I've seen in a while... BEAUTIFUL place, and for me, a WONDERFUL "going away/hasta PRONTO, Dunedin" meal!! Give them a try, if you're in the area!! read more

Casa Tina - the interior of a mexican restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Dunedin, Florida

Went to Casa Tina when I was down visiting my mother. I chose it largely for the Chile en Nogado, which is a picadillo stuffed chile covered with a brandy, walnut, cream sauce. It used to be one of her favorite restaurants. The place is nicely decked out. If you look at the pix, you will see a great atmosphere reminiscent of restaurants in different areas of Mexico. A definite 5 star based on the atmosphere. Service was also good, although nothing particularly stands out. I started with their version of an old fashioned which had a smoky Mezcal rather than the normal bourbon. Interesting alternative, but unlikely I would have one again. No points knocked off, as this is a personal preference and I give them kudos for the Mexican take on a classic. The food was okay. I really like the idea of having some unique dishes you won't find in normal Amerimex joints. Having a stuffed pepper with a cream sauce was a nice twist. I found the flavors to be fairly normal, albeit a bit too sweet for my taste. The rest of the meal (beans and rice) were fairly bland, unlike similar dishes I have had in Mexico. Finished dessert with crepas de cajeta. I was expecting a texture more like a crepe with the sauce, ice cream, and almonds on top. Instead, it had a texture more like a tortilla. Definite downpoints. I didn't dislike the meal, overall, but I think there are much better Mexican places in the general area, including some that are a bit more in this casual, midscale type of Mexican restaurant. read more
