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!

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! Please stop playing the SAME ridiculous music and try to rotate some good Mexican music into the playlist. There are millions of better choices that would add nicely to your establishment. 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.

Great drinks $8 a piece for happy hour, lots of small plates also only $8. Pictured are the old fashion, marg. Chips and salsa that come free with every table, corn elote riblets, barbacoa sliders, truffle fries, and last but not least mango habanero wings. Everything was great, only true standout was the drinks and the barbacoa sliders. Menu looked incredible will be back for a celebration dinner. Not a cheap place but seems to have the value to back it. Worth the trip if you are looking for a good happy hour or fancy celebration/place to take visitors! Will be back

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.

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.

There's a jewelry store right inside the front door. The produce selection is many unique items, all carefully stacked neatly for display. The spice selection in the store is massive and I think anything you need is here and the prices are good. The meat department also has good buys and a wide selection .... Much better than most stores. Finally made it to the area to order food and ordered a burrito lunch for take out. You pay them wait...and wait...and wait... I don't know what the deal was but there were order numbers 7 past me called before the cashier asked to see my receipt and maybe expedited the order. It was 20-25 minutes for a burrito with rice and beans. Food was okay - good for the price I guess... stay away from lunchtime and the wait might not be so long. 3.5 stars

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.
