She managed our large group flawlessly, attentive, warm, and completely on top of everything, even with so many of us to take care of. It takes real skill to keep a party that size happy, and she nailed it. The mariachi band brought so much energy and joy to the night, and the food was absolutely delicious, every dish was flavorful and beautifully prepared. Between the great service, live music, and amazing food, this was a truly memorable celebration. Highly recommend Las Carretas for anyone looking for authentic food, festive atmosphere, and top-notch service. Ask for Evelyn, she's fantastic!

We started with the chips, salsa, guacamole and queso, which were a great way to get things going. We also tried the sampler and Mexican pizza. I especially liked the bacon-wrapped jalapeño from the sampler, it had a nice kick without being too much. I ordered the steak with rice, plantains and black beans for my entrée, and the portion was satisfying. The fajitas that came out for the table were also a standout visually, they arrived sizzling and smelled amazing. The drinks were definitely part of the experience. I had the watermelon margarita, which was a generous size, and we also enjoyed lemon drops throughout the evening. Overall, I enjoyed the combination of the food, drinks and atmosphere. F&D Cantina feels like a place that works well for a casual dinner, getting together with friends, or stopping in for drinks and appetizers.

I was eventually greeted by Jack, who I learned was not the bartender, but saw me sitting there, and decided to greet me. After some conversation he went to find the bartender. I ordered the Taquitos and a side of Guacamole, and they were amazing. So much flavor and they got me excited for what came next.... What came next was the biggest let down of a dining experience! I decided to get the combo plate to try some of everything. Barbacoa enchilada was decent but was cold. Chicken puffy taco had to be ate with a fork, and shocking tasted nothing like the chicken that was in the taquitos. Just bad. Next was the Supreme taco, which was ground beef. This seemed to have the most flavor, but flavor that just goes no where. Nothing distinct about it. Could have licked the seasoning top and been about the same enjoyment. I ordered the black beans based on the bartenders suggestion. I was given refried beans. I ordered everything without sour cream, and got sour cream on everything. When I got the bill, the bartender put the ticket in correctly, but the kitchen staff ignored. IF YOU HAVE SERIOUS ALLERGIES, DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE!

So I had to go to my ole reliable restaurant for tacos. I arrived without a reservation on a Saturday early evening, and was able to sit in the bar. The bartender told me about their popular drink options, an explained their home made margaritas. I did their regular margarita on the rocks (about 13 or 14 dollars), which they freshly squeezed the citruses to a juice, then added the tequila and other ingredients. It tasted fresh, refreshing, and just had the right amount of tequila to fiesta. For the tacos, I chose the chicken verde, duck, fish, and shrimp tacos, and a small cucumber salad as a side. Each taco has an ample amount of meat and toppings, but they are mostly bite sized that can be finished in two to three bites. The meats are fresh and delicious, and the sauces enhanced the flavor. To kick it up a notch, I added the jabenaro sauce too. My favorite had to be duck as it was tender and had the gamey flavor I enjoy! The cucumber salad was refreshing, but the chili flakes they had did give me a donkey kick. For dessert, the tres leches came in a mason jar, and was moist and rich. Just enough to have me filled and satisfied. The service was excellent, with the bartender and manager checking up on me a couple times. While there weren't many patrons when I came in early, it did get more crowded later in the evening. The music was great as well. I must say Bartaco is the Domu of taco restaurants. Consistently great quality and fun vibes. Great service to match as well. Definitely still my favorite taco restaurant in the Dr Phillips area. Overall: A

But something that is genuinely underrated about bartaco is the fact that their teams are consistently some of the kindest, most memorable hospitality crews I have ever encountered, no matter what city I find myself in. I am a bartaco Coconut Grove loyal through and through, but I grew up going to the Dr. Phillips location, and coming back felt in a way like coming home. What truly solidified that feeling was the unbelievable customer service, especially from Andrew, the manager who was there the night I visited. I went to cap off my birthday after a day at the parks, and in Orlando, not a lot of places are open that late, so I am so glad I ended up here! And even though we arrived at the tailend of their shift, the crew treated us like absolute royalty and with so much care. All the dishes were flavored to absolute perfection, the classic bartaco flavors but somehow elevated to a whole new level, and the customer service was something I will genuinely never forget. No matter how much time passes, I will always find my way back to a bartaco in whatever city I can. Whether it's for the comfort food I already love or the chance to meet yet another incredible team, bartaco will never let you down!

The ambiance gives off beautiful Tulum vibes, and the staff was warm and welcoming. Before entering the restaurant, there's a lounge area where you can relax and enjoy the views. We grabbed drinks at the bar before dinner and ordered the Margarita Mi Manera and the Trompo, both were excellent. To start, we tried an off the menu salsa flight featuring about eight different salsas with chips. Unfortunately, this was the biggest disappointment of the night, we only enjoyed one of the eight salsas. The queso fundido, served with warm corn tortillas, was delicious. The true standouts were the Ceiba Guacamole and the Aguachile de Pulpo Negro. They were so good that all four of us were fighting over the last bites! For entrées, the clear favorite was the Pescado Zarandeado. The fish of the night was branzino, and it was perfectly cooked light, flavorful, completely deboned, and incredibly tender. The Barbacoa de Cordero was another standout, with lamb that was fall off the bone tender and packed with flavor. Dessert did not disappoint. We ordered the Tropical Gold and the Hibiscus Coconut, and both were absolutely delicious and the perfect ending to the meal. Overall, I give Ceiba 4 out of 5 stars. While the food was outstanding overall, the salsa flight missed the mark. The other drawback was the ordering process. We were required to place both our appetizer and entrée orders at the same time, which made the experience feel rushed. We prefer to enjoy dinner at our own pace, ordering appetizers first, then deciding on entrées afterward. A more relaxed dining experience would have made an already great meal even better.

It was delicious! Sweet and a mild kick. They provided a medium salsa and basket of chips. I really enjoyed the salsa since it is more minced and mildly salty but just the right amount of heat.Then we ordered the Queso which is not standard melted cheeses but a thick and stretchy cheese like when you do a mozzarella pull when it's piping hot. There were a few types of chips and pretzels. My friend and I shared the 4 tacos. She had 2 mushroom tacos and I had one grilled fish and one carne asada. The fish was tender and flaky. I wish I had asked for the flour tortilla since I'm not a big fan of corn tortilla but it was still flavorful. The carne asada was also good but not spectacular. We wanted a light meal before going to see Harry Potter at the Dr. Phillips Center so this was the perfect meal. It filled us up just enough. I would definitely come back. It was not too busy since we came before the dinner rush so it was a great experience. I hope they keep up the consistency!
