    Making fresh tortillas
    Dave W.

    This place is small, cash only, hot inside, and quite tasty! There is an ATM if you don't have cash but please note, it charges $3 for a withdrawal. We got our food to go and that's what I recommend to you. Two ladies are taking orders by phone and in person while they cranked out zillions of fresh tortillas. They had a huge bin of masa and were measuring, pressing and grilling the tortillas by hand! I had to wait a bit since there was a line and a significant number of phone orders with people coming in to pick up. But hey, it was Cinco de Mayo! We couldn't even get in to the first Mexican restaurant we tried but this plan B worked out just fine! My wonderful wife really enjoyed her authentic cochinita pibil tacos that come with an amazing, flavorful and spicy hot sauce sauce on the side. I got a burrito for tomorrow and I ordered a quesadilla but it tasted like tacos and wasn't grilled. I need to work harder on my Spanish because I suspect my order wasn't clear but no complaints from me! Some of the dishes come with guacamole and sour cream on the side which helped cool down the hot sauce. The beef empanadas and my so-called steak (the same beef as other items) were quite bland so the hot sauce is necessary for sure. Salt would also help. We also got a large horchata which was nice and cool and flavorful. Life is good with authentic tacos! Just stay away from plain beef or chicken.

    Hands down the best authentic Mexican place. I've had many other "street tacos" from other places in my life and you just can't beat them! I also love their beef empanadas!!! Best hole in the wall place. Definitely go if you are ever in the area!

    Amazing tacos! And the hot sauce is amazing, tortillas are so flavorful even on their own!(: haven't had any issue with any of the ladies that work here, all great people! Small little business with 3 tables for 10 people

    Steak tacos with side of Mexican cheese and hot sauce

    I am a huge fan of authentic street tacos but have not been able to find a good place in Tampa Bay area. Until we met one of the owner's family member Carlos through mutual friends. He bought us some street style steak tacos. And it was delicious! The meat was tender and moist. The side of shredded cheese was a nice added touch. I'm usually a fan of the green sauce but it came with red hot sauce instead which was surprisingly good. Overall I would highly recommend this place.

    I've been living in St Pete for almost 3 years now. I still haven't found a better taqueria than Cabaña! The tortillas are made on the spot, the meats are flavorful and fresh, and the green sauce is the best I've ever had. Do yourself a favor and go to Clearwater and order 5 or 25 tacos, make sure to bring cash, no cards accepted.

    I was in St. Pete to drop someone off at the PIE airport at 5am. I was getting a little munchy before heading back to Sarasota. Drove 8 miles north and it was the best decision I've ever made. Bought a burrito and empanadas and this place was busy, even at 5:30 in the morning. The best burrito I've had since I've moved back to Florida from LA. The best part? They were making fresh tortillas on the griddle right in front of you. Stop by the shop, you won't regret it.

    Gorditas and a torta
    David G.

    Amazing! This place is as authentic mexican as you can get. They make their own tortillas, gorditas, and everything else made of masa. Its a tiny place with only 3 tables and they were busy today (Sunday) around noon. I found this place on yelp and it did not disappoint. I had carnitas gorditas and 1 steak taco. My wife had a torta de milanesa and a carnitas taco. All the meats were cooked perfectly and tasted wonderful. Im looking forward to going back and trying the many other items on the menu. If you want real mexican food this is the place to go. My wife is half mexican and we used to live in Texas so we get excited when we find quality mexican food here in Florida. Its cash only but they have an ATM inside.

    Cute spot conveniently located at the bottom of the Hilton on Clearwater Beach. The atmosphere was…read morerelaxed and inviting, and the staff was genuinely warm and welcoming. It did take a bit longer than expected to place my order, but once I did, the food made up for it. I started with chips and fresh guacamole, which were excellent and full of flavor, paired perfectly with a cold Corona on draft. For my entree , I ordered the Roja & Verde street style enchiladas with machaca chicken. One enchilada was topped with New Mexico Hatch green chile and the other with black Chimayo red chile sauce. Both sauces were flavorful and distinct, and the dish was served with Mexican rice, borracho beans, guacamole, Mexican crema, and pico de gallo, making for a well rounded and satisfying plate. One thing to note is that parking can be a bit of a challenge. Street parking is metered, and hotel parking runs $20 or more. Overall, a great beachside cantina with tasty food and a welcoming vibe. With a bit quicker service and easier parking, it would be an even better experience.

    This is a comfortable, well put together Mexican restaurant. From the friendly, welcoming greeting…read moreof the host (right out on the sidewalk in front of the patio) to the donkey/tequila decor it is a delight to eat here. The service was attentive and quick. The food was fresh and delicious. Loved the quesodillas, chips (light and tasty), salsa and guacamole. Patio, bar and indoor dining options available. Great location right near Pier 60!

    Fun spot smack dab in the middle of Clearwater Beach! Walkable from all of the nearby hotels…read more(including ours), I can see how this would be a go-to destination for many tourist. Even being a local though, I'd certainly visit this restaurant. It sits right on the marina with views all the way around. Unfortunately for us it was raining during our visit, so we weren't able to get a taste of their vast rooftop. Looks like something to be enjoyed though! Here you'll find Mexican-fusion type eats. Which was lucky for me because that's my fave and we went on my birthday! I opted for a spicy marg, which was on happy hour special, and that hit the spot. Love when they do a tahin rim. As for food, my husband and I split the ceviche (holy sh*t was that refreshing and amazing I'd order again 10/10), and some fish tacos (also very good). As for dessert, my one bday request was key lime pie and this place delivered that request! Titled the 'margarita key lime pie,' it's infused with with reposado infused lime. An absolute delight! Our server was so sweet, the vibe was good, and we'd definitely give it an overall thumbs up.

    I think this was my favorite meal from my trip!…read more First of all - the view here is beautiful. You can have a nice view of the marina and the water from almost any seat. Service was great, which I had issues with in many places around here. Drinks were delicious and strong and food was amazing. The ceviche serving was huge for $7 and super fresh and delicious. The coconut shrimp were also great! This will definitely be a go to if I come back to Clearwater!! I highly recommend
