    Barbacoa Burrito
    Amy G.

    We are big fan - our favs the birria, their meat is so tender & flavorful. My honey had barbacoa burrito- it was really good he said. This time I had soft corn tacos with the birria meat so delicious. They accommodate to my gluten free needs. We love their corn chips so much better than other Mexican restaurants in the area. The salsa today was extra chunky, so good! Service is always great. The decor is fun & hip., cool vibe. We highly recommend & will be back.

    Tacos, chips and BOTTLED MEXICAN COKE

    We ordered UberEats from here after a long night helping out at an event. So grateful this was open and was taking delivery orders because we were starving. We did have a few issues with the uber but not because of the driver, but apparently the area that this business was in had terrible signal so he was experiencing some technical difficulties. We ordered some birria tacos which they were having a special on for BOGO when we ordered. We also got some chips to go with our order. When it got there, the greasy goodness refueled us. I'm not sure if I was super hungry or if it was genuinely really good but overall a good experience. Sometimes greasy food doesn't do so well after delivery but it was good when we got it! The chips seemed a little stale but were still pretty good. Overall, a solid spot to order from but beware of possible delivery delays.

    Ordered 2 portobello veggie tacos and this is what I got. I go to this place often I asked them to replace them "next time". When I went to place a new order and get them replaced the manager said I was lying and "we don't do that"! Here's a picture of the tacos they gave me. To the manager who was disrespectful to me in front of my kids, you're the reason I'm never coming back and telling everyone in the area this place is a joke!

    Taco Tuesday for the win!!! Well worth the money and busy nonstop but food is fresh and prepared swiftly. Indoor and outdoor seating. They have a bar area to sit too. TV's on the wall. Garlic jalapeño sauce is my favorite but all of them are delicious. They actually sell tubes of it online and in store. Vegan options are abundant. They have portabello mushroom tacos for Taco Tuesday and they even carry vegan cheese.

    Great place, enjoyed the feel of this place from the time I walked in, good vibes and great service, we sat at the bar , Brittany served us, she was very pleasant and helpful, the food was very good, Mexican style food with very good taste. I had the shrimp chimichanga, I enjoyed it very much, my friend had the chicken burrito , he said that he liked it also, next time I come back to St. Pete, I will return, I might even bring my wife with me.

    What can I say other than the food was good. Tacos are my go to when trying out a Mexican restaurant for the first time. If they get that right then they got me. Mines were very tasty and I didn't need to add any sauces. Hubby ordered the nachos and that was a super order. Definitely a sharing portion. Will be back and looking forward to trying out other items.

    Fish tacos

    This is a great Mexican spot, although not authentic, it's a delicious spot. My favorite part is how their basic margarita is better than most, in taste, price, and how strong they are. You really get your bang for your buck here. I've only been here twice and both times ordered the crispy fish tacos. They are delicious and I crave them. I don't even normally order fish tacos, but here they are so good and light. The queso here is delicious too, and there chips and salsa are good too for this being a gringo spot. I also love the outdoor patio that includes half the bar. The music they play here is great, awesome vibes here! Will be back again !

    This was supposed to be the tostada

    Not so great my food was messy thrown like trash and they didn't care.i tried to tell them what had happened but I was not taken seriously.they did nothing about what had happened to me.

    # 2 Tacos Beans and Rice Combo - chicken hard tacos, no onions, no beans
    Cheyenne B.

    The service is always quick, even when there is a line during the lunch rush. The food is always fresh and consistent. My favorite is the #2 combo - 2 tacos with rice and beans. I get chicken hard tacos with no beans. It's the perfect portion for me and flavor. I have also had the taco salad and chips with queso previously and they are good as well. I like the variety of meat options, from traditional Mexican meats to vegan. The mini hot sauce bar is a plus. The added outside seating is a nice plus. Everyone I've brought here loves it! It's my go to Mexican place in St. Pete.

    Great tacos. They have several salsas that are intriguing, too. Bar makes good margaritas.

They were welcoming attentive and showed professional ease. The margs were beautiful and tasty and they were still being handmade even though it was a packed house. The menu strikes a perfect balance between traditional comfort and elevated Mexican cuisine. They also had some sophisticated tapas that really showcase the kitchen's creativity, such as stuffed avocado, tostones, empanadas, and chicharron. If you want you traditional fajitas, chimichangas or quesadillas or want something more in the "small plate" territory, this place does it. Great drinks, a vibrant atmosphere, (they had an amazing DJ! ) and--most importantly--spot on service for one of their busiest nights of the year. This was my first visit and I will definitely go back!

We thought this was the right place to watch the match, but it wasn't the vibe we were looking for. Service was attentive, we ordered a round of drinks and a queso fundido. Chips and salsa were delicious, and the queso fundido was great! We decided to go to a more traditional Mexican place where Mexicans go, so we decided to get the check and go somewhere different. We'll stop by for dinner one day. Food looked good.

We wanted to eat something that would be filling, comforting, grab a few drinks but not necessarily need a whole sit down experience. So we stumbled upon Casita Taqueria. Thanks to the other awesome reviews, we knew this was the place to go! It literally feels like a casita when you walk in. They have lots of outdoor seating, picnic tables and such. Inside had a bit less seating (especially when it's raining and most of the people want to stay indoors). Either way, we found a table for 5 in no time. The ordering is easy, you go up to the register, order what you want and then they bring the food to you. No servers no waiters just easy. Highly recommend ordering a pitcher of margarita, we got the spicy jalapeño one and it was so refreshing! The food was delicious, freshly made, quick, and perfect for a lunch break. We got the tempeh nachos, rice and beans bowl, chips guac and salsa plus everything else the rest of our table got. We left full and our hearts happy! The ONLY THING I wish I would see was a super spicy house sauce. Which btw, they have a little fridge of their house made sauces for you to grab and enjoy. I just WISH there was a spicy one, the sweet one was pretty good!

Don't be put off by the exterior appearance. It's a little shabby looking outside. We almost didn't go in. I am so glad we did. Inside is cutely decorated with some small flower vases on each table. The wait staff was friendly and service efficient. It was a Monday night and only one other table was full. They were doing a brisk takeout business though. My wife had the chicken enchilada from the appetizer menu. It was big enough for a meal. She said it was the best she has had. First basket of chips and salsa was included. Wife not a big fan of the salsa but I feel each restaurant has their own take on salsa. We also got an order of Guacamole. It was fresh and delicious. I finished it off myself. I got the Mojado burrito with carnitas. It was stuffed with tender, juicy pork and I could barely finish it after devouring all the guacamole. We had no room for dessert. Overall a nice casual experience with friendly service and fresh food.

If you are looking for authentic Mexican food do NOT go here. This is honestly worse than having Taco Bell. We tried a couple things and none of it was worth the money.

Whoever's tried this and left a good review clearly has never had real Mexican food.
