    Everything grilled in a lava bowl
    William H.

    Good traditional Mexican food with one outstanding, humongous, amazing dish - Molcajete- everything in a large lava bowl- grilled chicken, steak, shrimp, chorizo, onions, peppers, hunks of cheese, and ground beef in a savory broth on the bottom. Just take a look at the pitI took. Had to take home to finish for a full meal the day after. Beautifully cooked creating a feast in a lava bowl! Friendly attentive service in a traditional fun Mexican decor.

    Huge Marg

    Finally visited this place after driving past it a zillion times and we were not disappointed! Only that we waited so long to do so. Kelly, our server made some helpful suggestions, and checked on my allergy request personally. Food was lovely, drinks were huge. We'll be back soon to try more of the menu!

    This review is for future Christina since this is our new go to Mexican spot. You can order the margaritas in small, medium (which it's incorrectly labeled large on the menu) and jumbo size. Seeing what a medium looks like I can't imagine how big a jumbo is. I got a blueberry margarita, which was ok, but next time I'll try something else. One medium is a good size to keep me buzzed all evening. The kids wanted the mozzarella sticks which came with fries. They did eat some, so I'm ok ordering it again. Next time only get one quesadilla. The kids barely touched them after demanding them. Hiro liked the shrimp, but we had to ask for it not spicy so they didn't spice it up. Even more than the shrimp he loved the steak and ate it out of Brandon's tacos. Brandon liked his steak tacos, the rice is really good as are the black beans. I wasn't a huge fan of the chips and salsa. Brandon liked his house margaritas. Parking is plentiful since this is a strip mall and there are tons of tables. We will definitely come back.

    SECRECT RECEIPT That is giving to Customer AFTER Payment.

    Overpriced, not worth the Money. We went for Happy, and for 2 People $90.11. Another person at our Table; 1 person, her Bill will $75. We were all shocked when they told us what we owed, as the waitress does NOT present Customers with their Tab/Bill UNTIL AFTER receiving payment. (they walk up to the table, and just tell you what you owe them). THEN, AFTER receiving the Receipt, we were SHOCKED to see that a 20% Service Charge was added to our Bill(s). We will NOT be returning to this place again.

    We walk in and it was GORGEOUS. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. We got a jumbo pineapple margarita, the wet burrito with queso on it, the quesobirria burrito, and the birria tacos. The food was AMAZING. Everything about this place is beautiful. The chips and salsa were perfect, not spicy also. We had Melissa as our waitress. We're excited to see her next time!

    We stopped in here when we were in the area for a soccer tournament. They had some really great lunch specials. The servers were friendly and attentive. The food came out quickly and was delicious. Also, the restaurant has great ambience. Cute decorations.

    Great authentic Mexican restaurant. The food is amazing. They have a pretty good size menu and everything is fresh. They also have a huge cocktail menu. We will definitely go back.

    Went for dinner with my family. Such a nice environment. I got fajitas and my mom got tacos and I love that you get t them traditional Mexican or texmex. The tortillas tasted super fresh. I also ordered the tacos paraiso for lunch and it was amazing!! Super fresh, the flavors were all on point and the rice and beans were steaming when I got it. Plenty of parking in the plaza and will definitely be back to try more.

    This place was cute and provided a large portion, but it was a bit creepy. I went to meet up with a friend. Apparently the owner, Diego, cared for us. I ordered the attached salad and asked for the dressing on the side. I never received the dressing. Also didn't expect the vegetables to be cooked. But the creepiest was when Diego decided he wanted to take a picture of my friend and I for what he said was the Facebook page. But a month later, I still don't see the picture on any of their social media pages. Hope he didn't decide to keep it for himself.

    Birria Tacos
    Larry S.

    Went back here with family after church because daughters wanted Mexican. About 12:30 and not very busy so the five of us were seated right away in the left rear. A bit lonely because during the 100+ minutes no one else were seated in the area. First we ordered the Queso Fundida dip and chips to share. That arrived in 30 minutes. Then we ordered the Tex Mex tacos, Kid's Quesadilla with Fries, Flautas, Birria Taco and Tostado. Meals came about 40 minutes later. Food was very tasty but the Tex Mex Tacos must have sat for awhile since all three tacos were soggy and fell apart. Not sure why the service was so slow. Place was not crowded. Maybe they were short of cooks and servers. Or maybe we were forgotten because we were out of sight. We asked for a take out box and check. After a 10 minute wait I flagged down a server and got the box, but had to leave to make an appointment at 2:30 so left my my credit card with my wife and left to take my daughter to appointment.

    Tacos el Paraiso
    Adrianna P.

    Taco Tuesday!! My friend and I came here for a girls night and what's better than tequila and tacos? Since moving to Tampa it's been hard to find good Mexican food. There's so much amazing Cuban, Chilean, Peruvian, and several other Latin restaurants but just haven't found a Mexican go to spot. Right away the server was so friendly and on point with the service! Cute ambiance inside and wasn't too busy. For starters we got the Margaritas which are huge and delicious and come with a cute flower along with the creamy and tasty queso dip. For our mains we order the Tacos el Paraiso, this entree comes with 3 tacos with a side of rice and beans. Surprise surprise I filled up on the chips and margaritas so took my tacos home. It wasn't that super authentic Mexican food I was looking for but it was still good and I'd definitely be down to go back and try it again.

The space has been beautifully updated and now feels contemporary, romantic, and much more like an upscale dining destination. The new bar is especially inviting, and I can easily see my husband and me stopping in just for drinks and happy hour. Speaking of happy hour--it was one of the highlights of our visit. The appetizer and drink selection is excellent, and even the house Chardonnay (which I almost never order) was surprisingly delicious. Our favorite dishes were the pizza, which was exceptional, the burrata salad, and the artichoke appetizer. All three were standouts and are absolutely worth ordering again. We split the Bolognese. While it was enjoyable, it tasted more like a classic spaghetti and meat sauce than the rich, slow-cooked ragù I typically expect from a traditional Bolognese. It wasn't bad by any means--I simply think this is one recipe that could be elevated to match the quality of everything else we had. I also want to give a special thank-you to our server, Michael. He was friendly, attentive, and genuinely helped make our evening enjoyable. Great service always makes a difference, and he did an excellent job. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back. If you've been hesitant because of the overall rating, I'd encourage you to give Martin's a try. Based on our experience, it's well worth visiting.

It made the whole experience feel elevated! The food was just as good. I ordered the Greek salad with chicken without potato salad, and it was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly done. I also had Endless Summer cocktail that was smooth, delicious, and perfectly balanced ~ not too strong, not too sweet Even though the place was busy and had a really lively, energetic vibe, the food came out quickly, which was impressive given how packed it was.

It's a lively, welcoming spot with great food and standout service. Plenty of parking, too!
