If you are hunting for truly authentic Mexican food in Pinellas Park, El Huarache Veloz is an…read moreabsolute must visit. The environment and ambiance are exactly what you want out of a classic hole in the wall neighborhood spot. It is a small and unpretentious place with just a few tables, keeping the focus entirely on the kitchen. The family run service is warm and efficient, making you feel welcome the second you walk through the door of this hidden gem plaza spot. Overall, the food here is great Mexican food that tastes completely homemade. Everything is packed with rich flavor, especially if you venture into their street tacos or namesake huaraches, and pair them with their incredible house salsas. Their tostadas are also nothing but a thing, being crispy, perfectly layered, and absolutely spot on. It is easily some of the best food in the area, and the highly reasonable prices keep it a regular favorite.

Some of the best tacos, spicy salsa and huaraches I've had in a long time! Will def be my go to…read morespot!

**** Review 165 ****…read more Found this place while searching for a lunch place. So glad I decided to give it a try. It has been hard to find a good Mexican restaurant in the St. Pete area, most are too Tex/Mex or try to be "fancy" and everything in the menu is overpriced. This place had a local Mexican vibe, small and probably family owned. The staff were really nice and attentive. The place was clean, and plenty of items in the menu. Ordered the Lunch Fajitas with a Chile Relleno à la carte. The food was delicious, both the refried beans and the rice had flavor and no burning taste. The chile relleno was on the smaller size, but very tasty. They had a few beers on tap, and mostly bottles. I was actually surprised to see the place being a little slow during lunch hour, but they might be new. Either way, if your looks for great Mexican food in St. Pete, then you need to give them a try.

The chips were hot and super crunchy, and the salsa was very flavorful. I ordered the enchiladas rancheras and it was the perfect portion. The green sauce wasn't spicy but had lots of flavor, and I loved the texture of the chicken inside. The ambiance here is very well-decorated and cute, with some screens playing sports as well. The service was good too, our server was attentive and helpful with refills. The food came out very quickly as well.

We were charged $2 for each bottled water, which is fine if I were ordering bottled water. We were not told that water was an extra charge. This chicanery removes 1 star from this review. Chinelos Taqueria only has 7 tables, most of their business is carry out, so I can understand the charge for water. What I can't understand is why we were not told the water was an extra charge. We started with Guacamole and chips ($6.95). A decent amount of homemade guacamole with cilantro, onions, and just a hint of tomato. I ordered the Steak Burrito ($12.95). This is the first burrito I've had here in Florida that was NOT mostly beans and rice! My son ordered the Steak Fajitas ($18.95). Plenty of meat, 3 different sautéed peppers and onions. My advice: Order carry out. The food is great and at a decent price.

My husband and I had tacos for lunch two days in a row and got the beef bistec platter to go. Holy wow, the flavors are amazing. Their house made salsa is magical.

You can taste the hours of preparation that go into their proteins, beans and rice. The bistec came with some amazing warm salsa. Oh my. This place is in a Mexican market.

SOLID 5 STARS! Do…read morenot judge a book by its cover! This location is a converted motel. Senor Taco takes up rooms 1, 2 and 3. I have noticed this place for years and there are always cars out front when they're open. I've also noticed that a lot of the people going in and out are Mexicans. Now I know why. This place is authentic! It is a cheerful little Mexican restaurant with knickknacks brought across the border by the owners and proudly displayed everywhere there's room. I was greeted by Mama Nina as soon as I walked through the door and told to sit anywhere I liked. I was immediately served with chips, salsa, hot sauce, a large glass of ice water, and a menu. Mama Nina saw my interest in the little house plaques behind the register and proudly pointed out her favorite. The salsa is smooth and easy to pick up with the paper thin homemade chips. Neither salsa nor chips were too salty. A lot of places will serve you salty chips and salsa so that you will drink more. Señor Taco isn't trying for the cheap sale. This is the real deal. I immediately ordered Guacamole and Chips ($10.99). The guacamole is obviously homemade, had just the right amount of spice, and was topped with a sprinkle of pico de gallo, instead of having it mixed into the guacamole. Easily matched the best guacamole I've ever had. For my entrée, I ordered the fajita trio ($29.69). This was also the best fajitas I've ever had. Large slices of steak, chicken, and perfectly grilled shrimp, smothered in green and red peppers and onions. Brought out on a hot metal plate with a wooden under plate and still sizzling from the grill. You can see the steam in the photo. A separate plate held yellow rice, scoops of sour cream and guacamole, two different kinds of cheese, lettuce, and pico de gallo. The beans were served in a small crockpot because it was almost like a soup! I mixed the rice with the beans and ate it with the spoon provided. There were easily enough mixings to make 8 fajitas but I was only given 3 flour tortillas, although I'm sure I would have been served more if I asked. There was no way I could eat everything on the table. When I was full Mama Nina deftly packaged my leftovers to go. This was easily the best Mexican meal I have had here in Florida. Well worth the $50 including generous tip. There is a business for sale sign in the window. I hope they are moving to a better location. It always surprises me to find excellent restaurants in little out of the way holes in the wall. I'll be back!

So happy I went here. Got fajitas mixtos, carnitas tacos, and cheese enchiladas for the fam…read more Fajitas were super meaty and well seasoned. Carnitas were properly cooked and two tacos were super gigantic, I'm glad I didn't order more than I needed! The cheese enchiladas had a nice serving of salad with it. Side of beans and rice were big enough to be meals on their own (and we actually saved one portion to eat tomorrow!). Salsa roja was delicious and just the right spice level. The lady taking orders was super friendly to everyone. We had a nice conversation in Spanish about Bad Bunny (and she cheerfully filled the gaps in my Spanish with perfectly fine English, haha). We got takeout but the restaurant is cute. The market next door has desserts and Mexican sodas (and beers!) for your extra needs, and the lovely lady there greeted me like I was family. Definitely recommended!

The mix & match was plentiful and way more than I could eat, the wicked burrito, a tad spicy, but my husband ate every bit of it. Loved the shredded chicken enchilada, seasoned perfectly. Our waitress, Jennie S. was on top of things, coming around often checking on us, very friendly offering suggestions. The establishment looks better on the inside, a little deceiving from the road which I think the sign makes it look a little worn. The inside looks newer & cleaner. Would definitely bring our friends here that love Mexican food, I think this is one of the better establishments around.

The food, not so great. Nothing special. My honey had Cowboy Brisket tacos with refried beans & Mexican rice. The meat had not much flavor, The Jalapeño slaw was missing the Jalapeño flavor, tasted just like slaw. The rice was dry not much flavor and the refried beans were bland. I had the Mexican Cesar salad with pumpkin seed cilantro dressing. I didn't taste any cilantro. I had a side of shredded chicken that was overloaded with so much granular spice that it tasted powdery. We probably won't come back.

It's very unassuming from the outside but it's upscaled inside. For starters, we ordered the White Queso. This is a 'must have' item. For entrees, we opted for the Mexico City Enchiladas Suizas (enchiladas stuffed with shredded chicken with a spicy tomatillo sauce). We also ordered the Hacienda Platter (A cheese chile relleno, a chicken enchilada with poblano sauce, a tamal with salsa roja and a beef empanada). Both dishes came with really good Spanish Rice and you can choose your style of beans. We both got the refried beans. Both dishes were excellent! The most noteable item was the chile relleno. We would order both of these dishes again. The service was a little slow but friendly. Surprisingly, we were the only table for their lunch hour. To be fair, it's a bit pricey for lunch.
