    Choo Cho, playing his harp.
    Martin N.

    We want to celebrate Cinco De Mayo earlier. As we pass through Vanderbilt Beach Road and Air Port Pulling Road, we noticed that Falco's sign. We turn into the mall and stop for an early diner. Although patio tables were available, we sat inside. As we order, patrons are coming and within 15 minutes, the restaurant is half full! We were offered warm chips and salsa as soon we sit down. The Margarita was half price since it is still Happy Hour. What a deal! We order beef enchilada dinner with rice and refried beans and a runken shrimp and fish (Camaron y pescado borracho) with rice and green beans. Both dishes were delicious and tasty. The Drunken Shrimp and Fish could use an extra shot of tequila to bring more seafood umami! The presentations were exceptional. The harp player, Choo Cho, (not 100% sure this is his name) was fun to listen with classic beats! The portion was huge and we did not have any dessert! We've been to Falco at the old US 41 location more than 10 years ago! The location has been changed but the food is still excellent and the Margaritas is at a reasonable price. Customer service is great with a very nice atmosphere. We wish we live little closer!

    Staff was friendly, accommodating to our large party. Pleasant atmosphere! However, I was not impressed with the food. The quesadilla had too much cheese and our chips were stall.

    Chicken Fajitas and the side dish to it in another picture. VG!!! Crepes not pictured.

    There last night after a few months. An update on some of my complaints. And I hadn't taken any pictures. Thankfully, they no longer charge 4% if using a credit card. That's great. With four people they put out two baskets of warm chips and one spicy and one NOT so spicy salsa. (unnecessary) was never used. If you want an additional hot salsa as I wanted, it's a $1.50. extra. But at least now you get enough chips. No longer paying $4 for an extra basket as it happened six months ago. Food is always very good. There's certainly enough on the menu. It is.s pretty comfortable place inside and on the patio. Service is also excellent. Enjoy the savings from months ago.

    Stopped here for lunch, was seated quickly. We sat outside, nice cool afternoon. The area was clean and waitress was very attentive.We were served chips and special salsa. Tased like a mix of tomatillo and onions garlic and diced tomatoes. I had to try the Pozole, a cup is all i needed, very good. The I had the Flaco's Nachos, they were yummy enjoyed the food and the clean atmosphere. More than enough food,

    Very disappointing - bland. Service was good but can't make up for the food. Salsa was the best thing in the place.

    What A Great Place! As were driving down the street towards…read morethe Naples Botanical Garden, we passed a brewery and next to it was this small Mexican restaurant. How perfect. After our nature visit, we could stop for a beverage, then get a late lunch next door. Well let me tell you, this is legit authentic Mexican. We walked over from the brewery next door. There's a patio out front with tables and umbrellas, but it was scorchingly hot and we wanted to sit inside. Not too many tables as it's small, but one opened up for the three of us. A very polite server provided menus and took our drink orders. My daughter and I both had Micheladas. You can select what beer you want in the mix. I had Modelo Negro, my daughter selected Modelo Especial. My wife had a bottle of water. No tap water here, you need to buy the bottle. We studied the menu trying to decide what to get. Everything we could see others eating looked great and tacos seemed to be the popular meal. Our Micheladas came out and these were festive. Large mugs, rimmed with a pretty zippy tahin and pepper blend, filled with the beer and a slightly spicy tomato juice mix. Very flavorful. A something new for us was the addition of a tamarind straw. It's a plastic straw, covered with a sweet spicy tamarind blend. They actually call it candy. You use it to stir your drink and then nibble on the candy. What a great fun thing to add to a drink. By the way, the Michelada was excellent. I enjoyed licking the tajin seasoned rim with each sip, just like a salted rim on a margarita. Still studying the menu, we ordered the Choriqueso appetizer. The basket came out with fresh fried corn tortilla chips and a bowl of queso cheese with chorizo sausage crumbled into it. Runnier than most cheese dips we're used to, but enjoyable nonetheless. Finally we ordered our meals. Al Pastor Tacos for my wife, Chorizo and Steak Tacos and Quesabirria Quesadilla for my daughter and Caldo de Camaron for myself. In just a few minutes, our delights were delivered and the feast began. All of the meats in the tacos and quesadilla were excellent. Great flavors and no skimping on the meats. Onions, cilantro and self squeezed lime punched up the flavors. The quesabirria come with an au jus style dipping sauce that was perfect. My shrimp soup was spectacular. Easily shareable, but I accepted the challenge to eat this myself. Served with numerous warm tortillas, chopped onions, cilantro and lime, I put it all in. A very light yet flavorful broth and as the pic shows, loaded with flavorful shrimp. I enjoyed every spoonful. A wonderful soup. As with most authentic Mexican restaurants, you are made to feel that \you are their guest. They will never make you feel that you've overstayed and if you want your check, you just go to the register at the counter. Looking forward to our next trip there.

    Excellent street tacos! You want them? They have them. Pick your protein and order. It's kind…read moreof hard to go wrong with any selection. Parking can be a little tough sometime because this place is so popular, but its worth it. And quite affordable too! Give it a try!

It was nice to sit outside but I think our server forgot about us for a while... The quesabirria and fajitas were very good, but everything else was lowkey a skip.

We only wanted a variety of apps so she gave some good suggestions. She was attentive and efficient. The food she suggested: elote, very good! We did get the guac and chips too to use the chips with the elote. That was the problem. The guac was somewhat tasteless, but the chips were very bad. They tasted like they were made in old rancid oil and they make them onsite. They even smelled like old oil. We let her know and she brought a new batch. Still tasted bad. We suggested her to try them and she did and agreed they were not up to par. I felt the grease even coated my tongue. The cornbread was excellent. Because the chips were so bad we got the guac and rest of the elote to go so we can eat at home with some good chips. We got the bill and even though they agreed they weren't as good as normal they still charged us for everything. That is a problem. She should have had them take them off the bill. We still tipped 18% but that isn't good when they don't make it right. We may give them another chance but still charging males that less likely for sure.
