DoorDash'd this place earlier today. It was fantastic and even had to travel a ways. The homemade salsas, guacamole, and chips are really good. Steak burritos and chicken tacos were good. Definitely staying on my list. read more

I came here with my mom and friend to buy some pre seasoned meat to cook at home which was delicious and to try out the food. The burrito I ordered was decent it wasn't anything to write home about but I did really enjoy the various fresh agua frescas they had. My friend also ordered a pastry which was also good. The ambiance was a restaurant/meat market/corner store vibe. The reason why I give them 3 stars instead of 4 is because of the customer service from the lady who was taking our order at the counter. She was very rude and made negative facial expressions at us, rolling her eyes and would then start speaking in Spanish to other people... I can't confirm she was talking about us as I don't speak Spanish fluently but that's how it came across. read more

One of our favorite hole in the wall spots in Sarasota. The most authentic Mexican food I've ever had. We love coming here and the food is SO cheep!! read more

I love going to this store anytime I'm trying to make a Mexican dish. Its a small market, yet it never fails to have all the ingredients I need! I even bought my molcajete and tortilla press there. The prices are really great too! Not into making your own meal? They have a variety of food that they offer. I have yet to try most of the prepared food, but while you're on that side, grab a bag of fresh chicharrones. Yum! I believe on nights and weekends they have a grill going outside to get some fresh tacos. It always smells like heaven. I love this not-so-hidden little secret. Everyone is always friendly when I check out. Parking can be a bit confusing. There are a few in the front on 301. If that's full, head to the side street or parking lot in the back. read more

This place has horrible service, my mom went to pick up tacos and one of the workers that work there yelled and told everyone in line to move closer to each .... hello it's called Covid-19 for a reason. And she placed her order and they threw her tortillas in a bag a sauces which Fail on the floor and the worker wanted to give me the nasty food from the floor . She told her she wanted to get new tortillas and sauce and the worker was rude that she threw that stuff in a bag . Plus the air vents had nasty dust. I do not recommend at all. read more

Honestly, I dream about their tacos...and chimichangas....and molé. It's no frills, it's cheap, it's delicious, and it's our favorite. No necesitas nada más! read more

Do not get carnitas on anything. The worst ever!!!! The other stuff was good but stay away from the carnitas, or whatever they served!!

Came here for brunch and ordered a steak torta, I enjoyed every bite. My boyfriend ordered tamales, rice and beans, and a couple carne asada tacos. My food was great while his wasn't so much. The tamales tasted as though the meat had been sitting for a couple days and they were very dry. I also, asked for Cuban coffee, and instead of being told they didn't have any, was just given a cup to get some regular coffee. Overall, it was alright, but I'd find somewhere else to go next time. read more

The tacos are not good at all. The juices were good. Won't be coming back. Do not recommend.

The chicken is dry and it looks like it was cooked many days ago. I'm sure they are serving reheated leftovers to their customers. read more

Carnita tacos are extremely, dry almost burnt to a crisp, chopped pieces of tasteless meat. The refried beans are bland at best with no seasonings or cheese topping. This is my third try at this place and I'm done. I'm use to really good Mexican food when I lived in LA, and this ain't it. Thank God it was cheap because I had to throw it out. Don't waste your time or money here. They really don't deserve one star except the onions and cilantro were fresh. read more

I have a thing for authentic markets, dives and tacos. This place fills the bill. Park in the lot in the rear. Slip in the back door and relax a moment to take it all in. You'll see booths and seating dead ahead. To the front left is where the magic goes down if you came for prepared food. There is a board overhead with the menu (no English here btw) There is a register up by the tortilla machine. If you are used to ordering from taco vans and such. You are good to go. If not...Just be slow and polite. Most of the employees speak ok to perfect English but this ain't some Americanized mess. So I come here for the market most of the time. When you slip in that back door take a left and follow around passed the main check-out counter to the back. Glorious, ain't it?! Notice the vegi section on the right. Go there first and grab a basket hidden back that way. Limes, cilantro,tomatillos, chillis, that delicate leafy green stuff I can't remember the name of but has a hint of lemon and tastes divine. Lots of goodness here. The meat counter. I personally come here for two things in particular. Beef tongue (Lengua) and al Pastor. The Pastor is the pork with pineapples on top. Perfectly marinated and ready to toss in a pan and cook. At around $4.50/lb you can have homemade fresh tacos in a flash. nom Check the bottled sauce collection and grab some cheese. Look around. Notice the price on imported beer? I come hear just to buy beer on occasion. Check -out is important. On the counter you should see boxes of avocados and mangoes. The avocados are all ripe and perfect. Same for the mangoes. As you are being rung up ask for a pound (or more) of tortillas. These are fresh off the press corn goodness for $1/lb. They will give you a slip of paper. Take that slip up to the counter at the front of the store and redeem for said goodness. I think I covered the important points as I know them. Just be polite and get to know the place. Soon you'll be a regular because this is where it's at in Sarasota folks. Not like the insanity that is Acapulco Tropical but imo this is a good thing. Friendly, tasty, and convenient to downtown srq makes this place a winner. read more

Worst Mexican restaurant I have even been. As people know I am a Mexican food fan and indeed they are more authentic than other places but cleanliness it's very important get a chance to look at their kitchen and you'll not eat here anymore. Owners are also very rude. Sadly they treat their own race with disrespect and have made money taking advantage of others you can tell by the way they talk to their employees. Sorry but awful food and awful management deserves a no star review. Definitely not recommended read more

New to the area, stopped by to get some tacos with my family and the meat was very dry and was not fresh. We asked if they could put out some fresh limes because the ones they had out were dry and brown. They were really rude and told us to go find the manager and tell her... the fact that they couldn't even replace there leftover limes for fresh ones makes me wonder what other things they reuse !?? Never coming back. Do not recommend. read more

I love the food!!! The tacos are amazing and the meat with Spicey sauce salsa verde is my favorite! Real authentic Mexican food.

So far since moving to Florida from Cali I've not found good authentic Mexican. This place changed that. This place is a small hole in the wall blink and you'll miss it. This has some pretty good food. There is a wait when you order. This place gets packed during lunch and the line goes outside. Great food the employees are nice. Helps if you speak a little bit of Spanish as well. English is the second language in this business. read more

Great service and authentic Mexican food. They are very welcoming and have the best guacamole I've ever tasted and homemade tortillas. They also offer fresh pressed juice for a super reasonable price read more

I was born and raised in Mexico City until the age of 16, here I am now close to 50 living, working and enjoying SRQ. This supermarket has come a long ways, it's been around for many years. The recent revamp/upgrade is amazing. Clean, open space, friendly service and good tasting food (just like I remember when I was a teenager). Highly recommend it if you like to have real Mexican food taste without the hassle of long lines and heavy crowded restaurants. BTW... If you are eating in or getting it for takeout, it tastes the same. Mexican approved. Miguel Rodriguez read more

This place smells like a fart most of the time. If one can overlook this aroma, as well as the dingy atmosphere & sketchy level of kitchen cleanliness...THE FOOD IS GREAT! It truly is. Plus their market is good for when you need an avocado, a tall boy, or a tall candle to burn before your next court date. read more

This place rules. You can get 1 pound of corn tortillas, a half pound of whatever meat you like, plus limes, hot sauce, and pico de gallo ALL FOR UNDER $7. That's like eight bitchin' tacos. Not even in L.A. did I find a deal like that. Beyond tacos, their menu is varied and I can't wait to try everything on it. Artisan popsicles, flan, even groceries! If you want real Mexican street food at a great price you have to check this place out. It has changed my life. Do not be fooled by negative reviews posted by profile pic-less people with no friends. read more

Some of the best Mexican food in the city. Authentic and flavorful. $2 tacos on the weekends, which are good. Generous portions and a fair price. I love this place. read more

My boyfriend and I are new to the area and we stumbled upon this wonderful market/restaurant! On Fridays-Sunday's they have a taco stand out front and the food was absolutely incredible! I could literally eat here everyday!! Yum yum yum! read more

Best place in Sarasota, the tacos are a MUST and it's a family owned business which is so great to see in the community. I love coming here with friends and the staff is always very friendly. read more

This place is a gem for authentic food and grocery. I will be back for the tacos and tostadas... but the burritos... not so much.

The worst tasteless, and COLD beans ever. Horrible rice. and very little burned "beef' on my enchelada's.

Does anyone know why they've been closed for about a week? They have the best home made tortillas ever!

One fantastic source of Paletas, all flavors, just try one of these fruit Popsicle's and hooked for life! So far my favorites care cocanut, strawberry, watermelon, pastacio. read more

This place is awesome! My husband and I went for lunch and it was amazing then we went shopping and got all kinds of things for our next Mexican meal at home. It is nothing to look at on the outside but VERY worth going in to explore. read more

Little store with a lot of character. Food is awesome, great flavor, definitely recommend it to anyone. The Lengua tacos are the best

I place an order over the phone and asked the lady if the grilled chicken came with arroz and frijoles she said yes i said ok when i got home i only got a salad and chicken! NEVER COMING BACK HERE AGAIN! And the girls at the register they are so unproffessional! read more

Hidden Gem. Was a little uncomfortable going in the first time, but love authentic finds. Inside was a showcase of simply phenomenal homemade chicken, beef, pork, etc, freshly made. Taste, quality and authenticity A++. Can't imagine eating at McD's when for same price you could have such a well-prepared, flavorful and healthful meal. Don't be put off by the exterior, THIS is a real find. read more

Food is not that good, the fried fish is the worst, tortas are really bad, tacos are ok, sometimes you order something and pay for it and after wait for like 20 mins they tell you they run out of it, they messed up a lot of orders, you need to order in Spanish or they will mess up. read more
