I'll come back to this soon, but I'm ADHD and I don't want to forget this. So... I don't like tacos, but this place is amazing. I got 3 different tacos and the Mongolian was the worst of the three and it was one of the best tacos I've ever had. read more

Unfortunately this place did not meet my expectations. After reading the reviews I was very excited to give this place a try. They do have pretty good specials for taco Tuesday. I ordered a bourbon margarita and it was super salty. Not sure if they salted the inside of the glass as well as the rim. I also had the gringo tacos which were pulled beef and the Korean beef tacos. They were just ok. read more

Wow! This was our first time eating at Circo and we were really impressed. We will definitely come back next time we're on vacation. Very casual, nice atmosphere. Great service! We came at just the right time, Happy Hour till 6 and BOGO select tacos for Taco Tuesday. I loved the strawberry margarita. The chips and salsa were $3 for happy hour and we added guac. They were amazing!! I would say the best I've ever had. My husband and I each ordered tacos: Birria, Mongolian, and Buffalo Chicken. First time trying the first and we liked it, but the Mongolian really impressed us. Awesome flavor. read more

Casually stumbled across this place and was pulled in by the environment and menu. There were an assortment of tacos with Asian influences (e.g. Thai shrimp tacos). The interior decor is really nice and slightly quirky, with colorful furniture and even an arcade game set up inside. I wound up ordering the chicken and biscuit, Mongolian beef taco, and the impossible street taco. They were all extremely tasty, and my friends who ordered the ahi taco, Baja fish taco, Buffalo chicken taco, and Thai shrimp taco also loved theirs. It seems you can't go wrong with the tacos, and if I had stayed in Sarasota longer, I definitely would have come back for happy hour, where they have deals on some small snacks and plates. This is a must try place in Sarasota! read more

Great place for some tacos, chips, and margs downtown. They have a lot of great options and the service has always been great. If you go early there might not be a lot of servers so wait time is a little longer. read more

This place is so cute! The food is very good. The food is decently priced, it's not exactly cheap. We went on a Sunday (all day happy hour (hh)). We had a jalapeño margarita ($5 hh), poutine ($3 hh, usually $8), a tuna taco, Korean beef taco, and Mongolian beef taco. The tacos range from $4-5 each. Everything was very delicious, we definitely will return when in the area, especially for happy hour. They also have BOGO taco deals on Tuesdays. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to make Friday night our restaurant hop night. We basically went to a bunch of restaurants and tried a different dish at each place. We stopped at Circo as our 3rd or 4th stop of the night, but who is keeping count, right? There were two tables when we got there and we sat at the bar, so they weren't busy. We ordered the Mongolian beef tacos but asked if we could have them in a wonton shell instead, but they said no because it would take away from the kitchen's efficient routine and create a mess for the employees.... ... ... ... ...o...k. So, we got the tacos as they come and I will say, they would have been way better in a wonton shell. read more

I give the place 5 Stars for the Tacos and service. The house Margaritas were ok, but very sweet. My wife and I had the TuesdayTaco Special...2 tacos with chips and a Margarita for $12. The chips and tacos were delicious. Then we had to pay a $1 each for a very mini sized, very small cup of salsa. That ruined the whole experience. Even two were not enough for the chips that came with tacos. Really cheapened the visit and lowered the ranking. read more

This was such a treat. These tacos were so fresh. We all tried something different and loved each of them. Chips and queso was just ok. Fill up on those tacos! Daughters loved the drinks. Who doesn't like tequila. Going to try the taco Tuesday special of buy one, get one. Or maybe the margarita Monday deal. We're coming back! PS great service. Outside seating is available.

The food and service here were both awesome and I would definitely recommend! We loved the unique tacos, variety of margarita flavors, and friendliness of staff. As a larger party of 7, there was no problem due to the spacious couch/table combinations. We were greeted promptly with lots of information and our server, Christina was amazing. The food came out quickly and it was delicious! read more

My husband and I visited with a large group, roughly 18 people. First I want to say, I love the atmosphere at Circo. This is a really neat place. The concept is clear and fun. Drinks are really good and some come in super cute jugs. I got to try multiple dishes and nothing disappointed. Everything tasted and looked amazing. I most definitely will be returning for more. Love the location down town next to Whole Foods. Good spot! read more

Usually don't go for street tacos, given my big appetite and their tendency to run small, but Circo is doing them right. Had dinner and drinks with a friend here and we both left very satisfied with our decision to eat here. The margaritas were the star of the show. Circo has margs on tap, which I thought was awesome, and a variety of salt choices for the rim of your glass. We split chips and guac which tasted fresh, but was a bit bland. I then ordered 3 tacos that all hit the spot, and were plenty filling for a dinner. The Korean one was my favorite but they were all good, you can't go wrong with any of them! read more

If you are a REAL foodie and you know GOOD food, don't come here. The food is bad and the flavors are just not there. The customer service is great and the atmosphere is nice the drinks are made with love. I feel like the main focus should be drinks and a good time. The food is not great read more

We went upon the recommendation of the locals! Great vibe and quite a selection. I think I prefer more traditional Mexican tacos but it was cool they had a such a unique variety of tacos like a Thai style and falafel taco. Also a big mix of bourbon which doesn't seem to go with tacos but interesting! read more

The food is awesome! We started with some Margaritas, the Smoked Salt pairs so well. And since it's our first time we got chips and Elote Corn, Guacamole and Red Salsa each tasted great no regrets! The tacos were so good, my favorite had to be the Picnic Chicken, so different in the best way! Finishing up by trying the Mexican Poutine, even though I'm full, I'd gladly make room for this any time I'm here! Our server Rachel has been great and I can't wait to come back to try some different tacos! read more

First time here Very good tacos , chips and queso delicious food ! Margarita great Service great read more

The place is cute and centrally located. They have a really good happy hour BOGO tacos, margaritas and old fashioneds. I would say do the old fashioned because the margaritas aren't as strong. The tacos were pretty decent specially for the price. I had the Thai shrimp (the favorite of the group) and the gringo. Service was quick and friendly. read more

Holy guacamole!! Dropped by Sunday afternoon. Waitress was prompt and asked if we'd like chips. But of course! It wouldn't be a Mexican meal without them! And then... upon getting a closer look at the menu discovered they're charging EIGHT DOLLARS for chips & salsa! I kindly ask her to cancel the order and she proceeds to explain that they're made fresh... As they are at most Mexican restaurants I've eaten at - at NO charge! I also know I can make fresh chips and salsa at home for a ridiculously nominal price. Which we made the decision to do, along with very easy, homemade ribeye tacos. As we departed, I noticed the very minuscule "tacos" ($5-6 ea) that were being served to a neighboring table and was reassured we were making the right decision. read more

A great chill spot! They have a good bourbon and tequila selection and bogo tacos on Monday's and Tuesday. Definitely get the sundried tomato guac too for a different twist! Thank you Chris for taking great care of us! read more

Circo is delish for unique tacos and other eats. There's a good mix of spicy options and more mild tastes. The BOGO Taco Tuesday can't be beat for a deal! There are 6 item on that menu- plus the daily happy hour. The staff is chill- chris was helpful and didn't seem put out that we were sticking with the discounted eats. Also, there are some couches for lounging and a pin ball machine. A good place for a fun date! read more

This was our 2nd time here. We loved it the first time, and today was great as well! I tried the Mongolian taco and the Gringo taco. Both tasted great. The Gringo had a surprising kick. 4 stars instead of 5 because almost every table we tried to sit at was dirty or wet. read more

Delicious taco fusion food here. Tried their signature beef taco which was highly recommended and it did not disappoint. The rice and beans were very good too. Cool atmosphere. read more

I'm torn on this one...but I will give 4 stars because the other two in my party loved it. Vibe is awesome, love the decor and cleanliness. However the service was awful, I waited 45min for the street corn I ordered because they kept taking it to other tables for their order! My Buffalo chicken taco was skimpy. But my husbands tacos were all 3 full and my kiddos walking taco was great. Would give another shot because once I got the street corn it was good! Pricey, but on par for everything in the local area read more

Stopped in last night, extremely excited to try. Was not even in the slightest bit disappointed. Bourbon and Tacos, weird mix you say? I am not a bourbon drinker at all but the bourbon margarita was not overpowering and held its own as a favorable drink. I'm originally from Cincinnati and we have TONS of non-chain, unique restaurants. To say the least, Sarasota is slacking in that department. The only eh thing I experienced with the entire night, is the questioning of my ID, which is totally valid. I still have my Ohio ID but I am almost 27 so it's always a little frustrating. However, it's completely reasonable so that didn't take any stars away for me. Just a heads up for any traveling people. I doubt it will be an issue as all though. Onward to the food: I ordered the chicken&biscuit, the Cubano, queso de la casa and a strawberry jam margarita. ALL WERE BEYOND DELISH. The chicken&biscuit was a little messy, sticky and overall juicy and fantastic. Definitely recommend keeping it in the little foil it comes wrapped in, I opted for using utensils. Also, I believe the both of my tacos listed dijonnaise. I typically don't like mustard/dijonnaise. I'm not even sure they actually had any on them. Not a strong flavor thankfully and I LOVED IT. The queso de la casa... extremely desirable, flavorful. The chips are definitely fresh. Threw me off that they come in a paper-bag (like how chipotle does theirs). Not sure if we are supposed to keep them in the bag or not. I think this is just a clever plating idea. Strawberry Jam Margarita was perfect as well. Fairly strong, tasty and not overly sweet. To top it off, they had the 90s music pop quiz card game at the table (not sure if purposely or if the people who sat there previously maybe left it??) but I will say I was a happy camper with that. Games while waiting for your food. I wonder if they have different ones at each table. I think that's a fantastic idea!! It made the experience just that much better. I will say that I was a bit confused by the couch and seating arrangement in the front. I don't know if they expect people to come for just drinks (totally would do that!!). I wonder if they will get to be so busy that they had hoped for more tables or they'll just play it out and see how it works for now. Either way, definitely will be a regular here. My new favorite spot for tacos!!! Thank you so much for bringing this amazing concept. Cannot wait to come back and try a few more things. read more
