    The view from the deck .

    Monday 3/23/26 11:45am This Resturant won't disappoint you. The food is fabulous and fresh. We started with the chips and salsa for $5. The salsa was hearty and fresh. I have never had such a fresh and thick salsa, it is the best I've ever had. I ordered the fish tacos with a side of pico. The fish tacos or fills with one piece of mahi-mahi and cabbage, and they too were out of this world. I didn't have the jalapeño cream, because it would be too hot for me. My husband ordered the burrito with shredded beef and he said it was fabulous and would order it again.

    Food and drinks were delicious. Parking sucked but there's a hotel nearby that does a flat $20 if the lots are full.

    Grouper Tacos

    Solid spot at Clearwater marina! Lots of fans in the outside space to fight the heat and enjoy the views. Margaritas were lovely and food was all great. Particularly enjoyed the ceviche. Service was a little slow for how dead it was but pleasant and we weren't in a hurry. Parking is a pain. Just come ready to accept that.

    Mexican Street Corn

    As far as food on Clearwater Beach goes, this was pretty good! I went with folks who like to share so I was able to try lots of dishes. Jalapeño Cornbread is a must! Not overly spicy and not dry. Empanadas were good. Guacamole was my least favorite dish that I tried. The flavor just wasn't there for me. Blackberry margarita was so good! They do offer bottomless mimosas and margaritas!! Chili Relleno were really good! The sauce that they drizzle on top was the perfect finishing touch. Mexican Street Corn was delicious. It wasn't drowning in mayo which tend to steer me away from it but this one was the perfect consistency. Al Pastor Tacos were good but they use shredded pork and I am used to chucks(?) so they were not what I had in mind but the flavors was good. I forgot the name of the dessert but it was like a churro bottom with ice cream and sauce. It was a nice way to end the meal. The parking is a bit tricky. You can only pay for 30 minutes and then you have to get a code from the restaurant to extend your parking time so you have to go back out to the parking meter to extend the time. Overall we had a good experience here. The views are amazing and the restaurant has a nice quality about it.

    Ahi Tuna Tostadas

    Went with some friends for Saturday brunch. The service was very good and enjoyed sitting rooftop. Cocktails were fair for the price. Food was delicious enjoyed the ahi tuna tostadas. Plantains appetizer were tasty as well as the street corn. Nice place to hang out.

    Super random but we stumbled in this place as we were looking for a specific shop in the area and I am so glad that we did. We got to sit in the outside bar and chat with the bartender outside and he wasn't awesome guy down to earth and loved the area so he gave us some other places to try out which was awesome. We had a few different things and everything was delicious. I drink was phenomenal. The view was beautiful and we really enjoyed sitting here for a while. If you're ever in the area, I do highly recommend you coming here and having their guacamole as well

    Blacked Shrimp tacos
    Monica G.

    My family and I came in for a vacation last week to this area. I was in charge looking for restaurants on this trip & this place did not disappoint We started with some appetizers (got there right at Happy Hour) Chicken skewers 10/10 , nachos 8.5/10 & shrimp ceviche 11/10 this was delicious!! For dinner we had Blacked shrimp tacos 11/10 really great flavor, my brother got the Al pastor tacos 10/10, my bf got the Pork belly tacos 9/10. Everyone else said their meals were good as well. Our waiter was very attentive, kind and informed & he was able to split our checks. We can't wait to be back someday in Clearwater

    Was craving Mexican food and decided on this restaurant. The location is delightful, overseeing the marina and across the way from a parking lot. (Be careful though, parking enforcement is super strict.) It's casual but some people were in dressy casual attire. Our server Kurt, was so professional and attentive. He was always at our table ready to serve us at the perfect time, like if he could read our minds. His recommendations were on point and just helped make the experience enjoyable. The food was incredible! We went to celebrate a birthday and ate outside under the shaded portion of the seating area. My hands down favorite is the Key Lime pie. I couldn't leave Florida without trying it. The merengue has lime zest in it, the slice was heaven! The food is not your typical greasy Mexican food. It's lighter and elevated. I highly recommend the trio empanadas, the ceviche (ask for their Habanero sauce for extra punch), and their asada burrito. The restaurant offers a complimentary dessert for birthday peeps.

    Mexican Street Corn - delicious.

    We found this restaurant when we were visiting Pier 60 Marina in Clearwater, FL. The staff were very friendly, especially our server. This restaurant has both outdoor and indoor seating, and faces the marina. The food was quite good, even for vegetarians. One thing to note - the portion sizes are quite generous. Thanks to our server, we ordered kids food to share between them and that was sufficient. Even we adults could have shared. Here is all we ordered: - Chips and Salsa: yummy. We devoured those chips. - Guacamole: this was quite well made. Not bland at all. - Garden Quesadillas: this was absolutely delicious. Not too cheesy at all, and very well seasoned. Loved it. - Crispy Cauliflower and Mushroom Tacos: this was very mediocre. The cauliflower pieces were r we in big and not seasoned at all. The avocado was bland too. I barely ate one of the tacos. The kids loved their food. The ambiance and vibe was great. Overall, a great place to dine when in Clearwater. Highly recommend.

    Went here for drinks and lunch after the beach and it was amazing. The drinks were fantastic and so was the food. It was dog friendly which is always a fun surprise and the wait staff was so sweet. Would highly recommend after being out in the sun all day.

    Queso fondido with chorizo

    BEST MEXICAN FOOD IVE EVER EATEN!!! the birria quesadilla was easily the best quesadilla i've ever had and the other food was outstanding as well. Next time i'm in Florida this will be the first place I go.

    Stopped for cocktails after dinner and we've always enjoyed this place. It has amazing views ( especially at sunset ). This is a great place if you're looking for ambiance or views. The service is pretty good and the drinks are pretty tasty and the bartenders are pretty good and friendly.

    Great selection of drinks, but much better when you can eat/drink outside. Beginning of January, Tampa is going through surprisingly cold weather. Maybe it's not that surprising since the rest of the country is getting hit by an arctic snowstorm, but it was in the 40s-50s when we came, which felt way too cold to sit outside. That being said, they did have heat pits and a few brave souls were sitting outside. I didn't realize they have indoor seating. On a normal day, I would venture to say nobody would choose to sit inside, because the decor isn't that nice. It was kind of dark, with wooden tables and metal chairs. It almost felt like I was in a dive bar in a way. It was also empty on a Friday night (again, most likely people were going to places that they'd go to when it's cold) so there wasn't that much hustle and bustle. The standouts are the drinks. I got the mad mango which has compo brava plata, mango puree, sliced jalapenos, agave, fresh lime juice, tajin spiced rim. It was delicious and I would absolutely get it again. There were more craft cocktails on the menu that caught my eye so this is a place I'd come for multiple drinks. I also got the short rib tacos and were surprised by how quickly they came out. I thought they were good, not great. I'd probably choose something else on the menu next time. Our server was very nice. He was the right level of attentive. Overall I would definitely come back, just when the weather is nicer.

    Beef Barbacoa Quesadilla  It came with 4 pieces but I ate one before I could snap a pic

    Do they have valet?

    They do not have valet. In addition, parking is not free. Most of the time all the parking spaces are filled so be patient. The restaurant can give you a discount code for the paid parking but it must be done in advance when you register your space… 

    Is there parking available?

    Yez

    Do they take reservations?

    Yes they do! I called them for reservations.

    Is it all wheelchair accessible?

    Yes they also have an elevator

    We ordered two classic margaritas, and they tasted nothing like margaritas. We politely mentioned…read moreit because we genuinely thought something was off. Instead of explaining why they tasted different, two bartenders argued with us and told us we were wrong. They even remade one. The second one tasted exactly the same. Only then were we told that they don't actually use tequila--they use an infused wine product instead. Looking at the menu, it's easy to see why we were confused. The drinks are listed with ingredients like tequila, vodka, whiskey, rum, and gin. The only indication otherwise is a tiny line at the bottom that says they serve "Premium Blend Spirits." That doesn't clearly communicate that these cocktails aren't made with actual liquor. What really ruined the experience was the attitude. Rather than simply explaining the difference, the two bartenders argued with us, told us we were wrong, and we could clearly hear them making negative comments about us afterward. We ended up canceling our food order and leaving. Our server was kind, and we still left them a tip because this wasn't their fault. Unfortunately, the way the situation was handled means we won't be back.

I ordered it medium rare... and I would say it came medium well- a "little"pink... but more done than expected...it was still good.. I guess I would order it rare. rice and beans were tasty and also came with pico and tortillas. Chili Rellanos with beef had at least two or theee peppers... and stuffed full of beef- had to take half home. The combo plate also was fab. Tamal, tostado and taquito- yum... had to take some home of this too. Happy to have tried this establishment- and will be back.

When ordering, she even made recommendations for drinks and sauces to complement our order, which was super helpful as first timers. We had the birria fries for the table and I was shocked at how much meat was included. It was a heaping bowl of beef on top of my favorite type of fries -- the kind that's dredged and has that crispy exterior. So so good! My bf and I enjoyed the tacos. The tortillas were clearly made in house and the tacos were stuffed with protein! I had the barbacoa, carne asada, al pastor, and fried grouper. All were very good! I was especially pleasantly surprised at how well cooked the grouper was. The pineapple agua fresca was also tasty, refreshing, and complemented my al pastor perfectly! The music was good (mostly 90s rnb/hip hop, which is right up my alley), and the decor was so interesting to look at, I almost felt like I was in a miniature museum rooted in Mexican culture. I highly recommend!

So that's the risk, that's the gamble, and we took it. Bahia tacos was very good!!! Started with the steak fries and yuca fires. Steak fries did their thing. Split it into two, plenty to share, lowkey could have been a whole meal. Yuca fries were alright but then again not bad so let's not get it twisted. I ordered the Birria tacos as my main and I was not sad at all! The thought was this or a Cali burrito with queso on top but the glutton in me said that was too much. Those three lil tacos came out and I couldn't be more happier. Stacked on the insides and super filling. The consume was unreal and packed with flavor. Couldn't be more happier with my choice. Also, they were playing divorced dad rock in there. Heck yeah, come on. I can't go 5 stars and I don't know why but just know I will be back. Loved it, great job team
