Nobody is born a Professional Taco Connoisseur. You're made, usually somewhere off a highway,…read moresomewhere ugly, somewhere you weren't planning to stop. I rolled into Florida hungry, running on fumes, and pulled over at a taqueria that had exactly zero interest in impressing me from the parking lot. Which is, of course, always a good sign. The service was quick. The people were kind. The place was clean, and I say that as someone who has knowingly eaten tacos in questionable places. The menu was unapologetically Mexican, but it wouldn't scare off anyone who's discovering it for the first time. We got carne asada tacos. A pork tamale. A torta Hawaiiana. All of it landed well above the line, but the tamale. That tamale might have been the best I've ever had, and I don't say that lightly. Masa that knew what it was doing. And the salsa bar wasn't an afterthought; it was an invitation to escalate things, and we accepted. Stop by and enjoy the tacos here, you won't regret it.

Hot spot alert, Hot Spot Alert!! Was looking for a new quick bite to eat and found Taqueria Mi…read moreGente. If you don't mid a small drive from Destin or Pensacola, this truly a hidden gem. Taqueria Mi Gent has all the traditional Mexican dishes and did I mention all fresh ingredients? I've been to many taquerias and Mi Gente is one of the great ones. Any taqueria that embraces a fresh salsa bar is where it's at. Several types of salsas with varying heat and flavor levels compliments each dish perfectly. Generous portions and reasonable prices also keep your belly full and won't hurt your wallet. Highly recommend Taqueria Mi Gente. I bought a burrito to catch a flight and was delicious at 30,000 while watching a movie headed home. This is my new spot and heading back to Florida soon. Service was great and very patient in answering questions about the menu or anything else you want to know about their delicious food. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed!

i'm not sure if it was an off day or if this place has gone down hill since my review 4 years ago…read morebut we came here a few days ago and i was not impressed. the salsa was so watery and bland/tomatoey like it had no other flavors. this time i ordered chilaquiles and there was hardly any red sauce, i'm used to chilaquiles drowning in sauce and these were practically dry like the dish had been sitting out and not made to order. there were some friendly staff when we first walked in but our server was not personable. probably won't return here or at least not this location.

Now, keep in mind that my son (formerly known as mr. picky pants, if you've followed me for any amount of time) always orders the same thing when we goes to a restaurant. So, he comes here to get a very specific burrito. I tried the shrimp bowl. I was in such a happy place (because i LOVE a bowl) that i don't even know what his burrito had in it!! They did NOT skimp the shrimp! (if you order shrimp very often, you know they limit you to 5-6 pieces, usually) In this shrimp bowl, i stopped counting at 10..... there were more than 10!! and not the small ones..... like decently sized shrimp!! it was so good!!!! I wanna go back, so that i can be like my son and order the same thing everytime i come here!! DELISH!!

That said, most of the meat dishes we tried were noticeably over-salted, which made it hard to appreciate the other flavors. The kids' nuggets were okay but a little dry. Now for the real danger--the margaritas! They're 2-for-1, generously sized, and pretty tasty. Let's just say it's easy to lose track of how many you've had if you're not careful. Overall, a decent spot for Mexican food and drinks, especially if you're looking to relax with friends and enjoy a margarita or two.

I was nervous about the shrimp but they were cooked to perfection! Not chew or rubbery at all. My daughter ordered the katsu chicken, it was very good! It comes on a bed of rice. The rice was nice, it wasn't dry it was very fresh. The chicken was amazing! Cooked nicely and had some great sauces on top. Overall I would love to go back and try more food.
