I wanted shrimp which they don't have at The Spot. My husband wanted sopes which are great at both places. He had two steak sopes. I had a shrimp huarache. We both enjoyed our food very much. The person who took our order at the front was nice. They also bring your food to you. They have inside and outside seating. We sat inside. This is inside the Sarasota Commons with Bravo grocery store, a Thai restaurant, Italian cafe, Cassava, a Venezuelan restaurant, a Puerto Rican restaurant, post office, & Hot Bins store.

Dinner at La Reina was nothing short of exceptional. My partner ordered the chicken sopes--two…read moregenerously sized, beautifully composed pieces that were crisp, tender, and layered with perfectly balanced flavors. I went for three beef birria tacos, and they were absolutely scrumptious: rich, deeply seasoned, and clearly made with care and high-quality ingredients. We started with a large serving of freshly made guacamole, paired with what tasted like homemade chips--warm, crisp, and impossible to stop eating. Everything on the table tasted incredibly fresh and thoughtfully prepared. To drink, I enjoyed a cold Modelo, while my companion had a distinctive mango brew that was light, refreshing, and delicious. Quite honestly, this may be the best Mexican food I've ever had--whether in the United States or in Mexico. La Reina is a true standout and an absolute must-visit in Sarasota.

When we walked in and no one was speaking english, I knew we found the right spot. The lady behind the counter was helpful in assisting us with what to order. We ordered a pastor burrito, quesadilla, and two papusas. I think our order total was around $25 or $30, which is unheard of (especially for us over-orderers). The food was great, while I think the pastor was a little under-seasoned (from what we are used to), overall we very much enjoyed everything we ordered. We will definitely be returning!

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.
