Was served by Kimmy the bartender at first and I had a wonderful time per usual. The pizza melts in your mouth and the service is second to none. Not too crowded and not too slow. The environment was very upbeat. 10 out of 10 would return. read more

Food was amazing!!! Kim is always amazing. Idk how she does it. Mike and Todd are the best always taking care of us and escorting the crazy people out. Bushwacker Luke comes in several night a week, he's so great to visit with. This place is one of our favorite spots on Clearwater Beach. read more

This place is a must if you are looking for a lowkey, fun atmosphere. Food is good, service is exceptional, bartender with the red hat is always fun and engaging. Have been here every time I come to Clearwater and it never disappoints. read more

Came specifically for Golden Tee, stayed for the super cheap drinks (for a beach town). They have a Golden Tee PGA edition, darts, billiards, lots of room to sit and hang out with friends along with the normal bar seating. I didn't try the food, but I could tell someone near us got what had to be nuclear hot wings because that spice was fierce lol. We were staying at the Hyatt, went to Shephards for the Impulse reggae band who plays there Saturday's 2p-6p, and then decided to try Pan Filo's for some Golden Tee. It was a really fun place, everyone was friendly, met some other locals (we live a few cities down the beach), just a good vibe. Will definitely be back next time we're doing a stay-cation. read more

To Kim, This one is for the bartender, KIM, a blonde-haired white woman who wore a hat. This event happened on 1/30/2026. Kim was unable to answer multiple times why my price went from $41, to $46, then $48, and proceeded to crumble my first receipt in my face while talking to her, and threw it away. While questioning her, she became increasingly defensive, while still being unable to answer such a simple question, which I thought someone at her age would be able to answer; I guess not. I couldn't help but ask, "Why are you being defensive?" She responded, yelling, and it pains me to type this, "because you are being retarded." I stood there for minutes, trying to receive an apology; however, she was completely avoidant, which seems immature to own up to being completely unprofessional. Kim, thank you for the wonderful welcome to Clearwater, Florida. My girlfriend and I will remember the utmost unprofessional services we've ever received on her birthday. To those who read this, if you want truly unprofessional service and to be called retarded, this is your bar. Welcome to Clearwater, retards, according to Kim! Thank you, Kim! read more

Fun bar at the end of the night! Great pizza too from what I remember...will def come back here again. We went both nights btw for the weekend late night. The owner is wonderful too. read more

We came upon this place after a late flight. The food was incredible (nachos, Philly hoagie, gator bites, quesadillas) and the beverages hit the spot. Kim was amazing. She whipped up a specialty beverage for us. And the icing on the cake was a chat with Luke. read more

Yummy drinks and yummy tacos! Do yourself a favor and head in here for a game of pool or a bite to eat. Super casual and delicious. The Goat was one of the best tacos I have ever had. I also had the Chica and shrimp taco which were also very good. Their guacamole was amazing. In fact, my only complaint was that the tortilla chips were a bit stale. My friend had a margarita with fresh mix and she said it was delicious. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive too. read more

What an amazing place! We are staying at the Shepards Beach Resort and they stopped serving food. Apparently, Pan FILOs was the only place open that did serve food and until 2:30am. The owner is truly a kind-hearted man and the staff were great! Food is delicious. I had to jump on here for a review because they are so much more then a place open late. We will definitely be back. Thank you for making our Friday night extra special. Ps. Pool tables and darts were a plus plus. read more

The cook is BAD. There was one bartender who was overworked and high out of her mind. Hands down one of the worst bar experiences I have EVER had. The food was absolutely atrocious, the cook was rude and obviously under qualified. The owner/manager, whoever, tried to get down to the bottom of our issue but it was so understaffed and the one bartender was so high and flipped out she charged us $20 for a bag of chips on a plate with a can of jalapeño peppers dumped on top. Unfortunate, disappointing, and full of sloppy drunk men. If you don't want to be robbed and inappropriately touched while being discriminated against by an out of her mind bartender with eyes bugging out of her head, like NO BLINKING AT ALL, AVOID THIS TRASH. A Mexican restaurant with a pompous, rude AF Phillino cook? Wtf... $8 beers. No way. read more

First off, they didn't have a lot of food in stock! For example, no salsa or guacamole! But the reason for the 5-star is the staff and atmosphere!! Stacey the bartender is fun and awesome! A nice place to unwind and away from the crowds! It is also open until 3a! read more

Stopped in to Pan Filo's a couple days ago with friends while we were on vacation. It was close to where we were staying and we were looking to quick tacos. After taking a quick glance at the reviews, we were all on board for a dive bar with decent tacos as the reviews stated. What we got...left us underwhelmed. I ordered the Goat, the Cuban, and the Sanchez tostada. Of the three, the Cuban (Pork, Shaved Ham, Bacon, Queso Fresco, Mustard, and Cilantro) had the most flavor however I'm fairly certain the "Pork" was a diced up hot dog. The Goat (Chicken, Goat Cheese, Sweet Peppadews, Bacon, Lime Creme, and Cilantro) had decent flavor, however the chicken was SO dry that it overpowered any flavors from the Peppadews and goat cheese. The Sanchez (Chicken, Black Beans, Salsa, Queso Fresco, Shredded Lettuce, Lime Crema, and Cilantro) had the same problem as the Goat. The chicken was SO dry it pulled all the attention away from any chance the other items had to flavor the dish. My friend wanted to try the Shark taco, however they didnt have shark in and were substituting with Red Snapper. Another friend wanted the Dr Cabra or Get Shorty - however they were out of braised short rib. If they had dipped the shredded chicken into a hot chicken jus or even JUST chicken broth before going on the tacos and tostadas, I would have a much better review. Wish I could say I'm willing to try them again, however with so many other options in Clearwater - I'll leave Pan Filo's for the next guy. read more

I made it to Clearwater beach at midnight and couldn't find anywhere to get food for a family with kids u see 21. This place came in clutch as we had no other options! Definitely a dive bar feel & the food was all decent. If I was drunk I'd say everything was great & would recommend going here. Instead I was sober so the truth is Philly cheese was good but needed more meat. The shorty taco was definitely interesting and different, but worth trying. The grouper taco was fishy but good to me. Chicken quesadilla my daughter said was amazing. The pizza was below par but I am from Chicago area, so it's always hard to make me happy in the south with pizza! I'd suggest stopping here to get waisted , shoot pool, play darts , & grub if hungry! read more

Definitely could have been better. Went there while on vacation with my kids. It was just within walking distance and I figured their menu looked good so why not?! Well, it was not worth our 50 steps to get there. Food was mediocre at best. Tacos were almost $9 each!!! WHAT?!! I thought they would be amazing tacos for that price. No, they weren't even made right. Needless to say, we were disappointed with the food and the service. We were given something we didn't order. When it came time to pay, they lady, who was very helpful at first, explained that because of the mistake in the order she would only charge me for one of the items. In turn I ended up paying for something I didn't get. I DON"T KNOW WHAT DEAL she was referring to when she said it was cheaper.... Keeping in mind that everyone has different taste buds and every day the food quality is different, my family and I would not recommend going here. Some may have better luck and like the food and service. We just didn't. But if you're curious and you want to venture there, go ahead. read more

As a former customer we were so disappointed in the way they treated a couple sitting near us. The couple had been sitting for quite some time waiting to get their order taken. The middle aged blonde waitress had taken our order, our food was delivered, and this couple came in just before us. The waitress kept by passing them blatantly ignoring them. Finally the gentleman asked if they could have 2 waters and they would like to order. She went and got their water, set it down and they asked for straws. She responded, "You need to say, please.* " He said, "I am sorry. I asked May we have straws Please?" She began taking their orders and in the middle of the young man giving her his order, the waitress turned away from him and started talking to a friend, getting her drinks etc.... Returned and told them they would have to wait outside for their pizza. The couple was so embarrassed and so were we. we will not recommend or return. read more

Missing the goat tacos Pizza is amazing also My go to place when I'm near Clearwater read more

A hidden gem, no really, it's hidden. Kind of hard to find, behind a shopping plaza and next to a liquor store. Dive bar vibe but the tacos are some of the best I've ever had. Really unique combinations but the flavors go well together. The Cuban Pig and Goat (has goat cheese) tacos are a must! I'd skip the fish taco. Very good guac too. Prices are reasonable. There's a special, 3 tacos for $10 after 10 PM. read more

I wish I could have at least try this place. They didn't open on time. That's really disappointing when you drive all the way to Clearwater expecting a restaurant to at least good business practices and their late opening. read more

This was the first time at Pan Filo's. Traffic is a troublesome thing but that's life in Clearwater. If you go in the evening it's really easy. Parking is limited. There is onsite parking but the lot is small. There are various parking places close by. It's Clearwater baby. The wait staff is very friendly. Things were quick to get ordered and drinks brought quickly. We ordered pepperoni pizza, shrimp tacos, and a cheese quesadilla. The tacos were awesome. All good was hot out of the fryers and oven. The kicker on the tacos were the homemade sauces and homemade shell. The pizza was very tasty. Hot and cheesy! Thin crust but that's was ok. The taste made up for it. For an added highlight, if your into this thing, WWE Hall of Famer Bushwacker Luke is there off and on to mingle, take pics, and sign autographs. A cool talking point for any vacation! read more

Not bad, but not worthy of the 4th star and certainly not the 5th. We always have a tough time on Clearwater Beach. Outside of brunch at Clear Sky, I don't think I have given many places high marks. It's even tougher when you have everyone's favorite four-legged companion, BRUCE! So on this day, whence craving tacos, we came to the only Bruce-friendly taco place we could find. Yes, I know other places have tacos - Jimmy Hula's, for example - but we wanted a Mexican restaurant or taqueria, and so it was to Pan Filo's we came. This is more of a sports bar that serves primarily tacos and other Mexican dishes. The restaurant is set off to the side from the bar. By that I mean it's as if the restaurant is a separate business - there's a large open bar area with long tables, darts, TVs, other games, and a large bar along the wall. At the end of the bar is a doorway leading to the kitchen. I suppose it's not so different from any other restaurant, and I should have taken a picture so you can see what I am talking about, but it almost looks like a very small, counter service only, taqueria, where you eat in the adjacent sports bar. The patio is just outside the door, which brings me to another issue. This is in a strip mall, with I believe a Walgreens on one side and other businesses on the other, but the restaurant is set deeper in the parking lot than the other businesses. It's so deep into the parking lot that if you don't see the sign on the street, you probably won't see the restaurant. It's a very strange location and surprising the property was designed like this, and even more surprising you'd open up a restaurant there. Service wasn't great. Server was either new or didn't really understand the menu. She didn't know what came on the tacos, took a very long time to come out to see us, didn't ring in the order correctly (which we called - you know someone is going to have an issue when they don't know the menu and then don't write down your order in spite of ordering 6 tacos), and didn't fix the check correctly at the end. That said, once we ordered service was quick and she was friendly. Food was okay. The shrimp taco on special came out fried, which was surprising. They didn't say anything about them being fried, and we didn't ask because nothing else on the menu is fried. The tortillas are fried, too, to make them a bit crispy and warm (we just use a tortilla warmer at home - frying is unnecessary). The shrimp taco was for Melissa. I ordered the chicken, the Cuban, and the short rib. The cuban was very good, but how could it not be, with ham, pulled pork, and bacon. The chicken was also decent. The short rib, not so much. Didn't like it at all. Just didn't have good flavor. I also had a grouper taco, because when the server messed up the order, we got an extra grouper taco, and that was okay, but I didn't love the lime crema that it was dripping in. All in all, Clearwater Beach still needs a good Mexican restaurant. There's a new one at the Marina, but as it's a rooftop place, it wasn't dog friendly, so we couldn't go. I also saw Capital Taco opened a third location in Brandon, so maybe they'll actually make it to the good locations (South Tampa, Downtown St Pete, the beaches) at some point in the near future. Until then, if you want good Mexican and a day at the beach, head south to St Pete Beach and eat at VIP. You'll wait, but it'll be worth it. read more

Pan Filo's - Clockwise from top, but also least enjoyable to most enjoyable: short run taco, grouper taco and chicken. Best one was Cuban taco, not shown - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Clearwater Beach, Florida

I read the reviews and feel like they don't properly prepare you for this place. Let's get this out of the way, yes, the tacos are delicious! The guac was good too. The 4 stars are for the tacos, I would give the ambiance one star. We arrived around midnight or so and walked in to feel really disappointed with the ambiance. It's like a sad bar vibe inside. We chose to sit outside because we weren't up for seedy underbelly bar vibes. But outside was a group of loud women smoking furiously. We opted for tacos to go. With that said, I would eat there again for sure because the tacos are delicious. But if you're looking for a fun taco place, or a normal restaurant vibe, then this is not it. I wasn't crazy about the cuban pig but the get shorty was fantastic!! read more

We visited this location twice during a weekend getaway. During the afternoon the staff was extreme friendly and helpful. At night? Different story. Not enough staff, they left 1 server on a peak night who had little experience. She did her best but the bar staff, and so called management were severely lacking. They do have 2 dart boards and pool tables if you like an activity while having a drink or 2. I think there are better bars to visit in the area, and if this one hadn't been walking distance from our hotel, we would have visited one of those instead. read more

I was excited to try this place! I came here on a recommendation from a friend who is local to the area and it was interesting. My friend and I went on a Friday afternoon and were greeted by -what I assume to be one of the local regulars- who was already pretty hammered. Lots of other people around too who were loud. The waiter was nice but seemed in over his head ... especially when he told us the cook had just walked out after making our food... not a warm fuzzy feeling. The food was ok. I liked the chips and guacamole, that was super flavorful. The salsa was average and so were the tacos. I got The Cuban Pig and the Get Shorty tacos. The Get Shorty was good, the Cuban Pig was just ok. Nothing to write home about. All in all this place has small town charm but not worth the money ($4 -4.50 tacos!) read more

By far the best authentic Mexican tacos I've ever had ---and this is coming from a true Mexicana, on top of that my server --Jenna --was phenomenaI. I walked here by myself from shepherds, I will be coming back here every year, just to see her, along with the wonderful food --the pizza that another couple ordered right next to me --was so fresh and cheesy---that is going to be the next thing I order!!! read more

Great service, great food, and great drinks! Pool table and darts. You can sit outside in the parking lot. Don't laugh it's busy! Very laid back! Cheers! read more

Some of the best Mexican I have ever had. Stands out with crunchy chips and their salsa is the perfect consistency. Very flavorful Tostada-we had the Sanchez. We are going to try the pizza next so I'll update. Returned and had a cheese Stromboli in which they give enough delicious red sauce in the side to satisfy. Great, fun atmosphere with great food, outstanding service and reasonable prices. read more

I was looking through yelp for a place to have a quick bite before heading to Opal . Saw the great reviews and pictures, so I decided to stop by for some chips n queso and tacos. It was 2:30 on a Tuesday not many people around.There was a couple walking out as I we walked in, there was no other customers inside but that didn't matter. We ordered chips n queso, guac, 5 tacos. The shorty tacos were amazing and the pork al pastor was pretty good as well. $28 for all the food mentioned above. The young waitress was super sweet and attentive. Overall good experience. P.S Opened till real lateeee (i think till 3am) for your late night taco fixings. read more

It pains me to say this, but something has changed with the street tacos here. We stopped by last night and was severely disappointed. I usually get the Cuban pig and I felt the meat looked and tasted different. I looked at my old picture of the food and indeed it was not the same. This time, the meat was shredded instead of individual pieces of meat. The tortilla was different: it was crispier. Overall, it was an odd experience that makes less inclined to stop by Pan Filios for my beloved tacos. read more

Drove by this place 10's of times and never knew it was here. It is set back off the road so it can be easy to miss. parked in their lot which is free. Walked in and were immediately greeted and informed we could sit anywhere we would like. Sat at the bar. Ordered a drink. He ordered a whisky which they were out of but it was still on the menu. (Remove it from the chalkboard so people do not try to order it.) Ordered a couple of other ones. Decent prices which is unheard of for the beach. It was very clean and the bartender and the waiter were really decent at their jobs. Bathroom (womens) was clean. They have a decent menu and also offer pizza. We did not eat so cannot speak to their food. The bartender said they are a mexican place and have a lot of different tequila choices. We did not opt for those as it isn't in our wheelhouse usually. We would definitely return even being locals. The price point and great staff would bring us back. People socially distanced and well ran during a tough time to keep a business open. Well done!!! read more

This place was pretty kool,it's right off of Gulfview Blvd So when you walk in there's pool tables,dart boards,and high stand chairs that you sit at a big bar table. The service is pretty decent,But it's the food that'll bring you back. We ordered the quacamole n chips,it was the best we've had here in Clearwater.then ordered the queso dip it was ok!!Now the reason for 5 stars is the chicken taco!!!!!!! Omg awesome.Its worth coming here for that alone" It's a slow cooked chicken in a corn tortilla which is fried to perfection.Topped with pickled onions,goat cheese,cilantro,and creama topped with a hott pepper. Delicious I had 4 lol After 10pm they have 3 tacos for 10 bucks. I'll be back then great deal. Great bartender she's a hoot!!!!! read more

absolutely horrible. the bartender used my card to keep a tab open , my uncle picked up my tab and paid for mine in cash. so we left. then bartender still finalized my bill & added a tip for herself thinking i wouldn't notice ? i called she admitted said it was only pending. call back a month later call on call. finally got the owners number. he agreed but never got back to me. months later he still says just call ur bank. HOW DISGUSTING. you let your employees steel from people and your to lazy to refund me so you make ME go do work and call my bank and tell them it's fraud. TRASH. do not go here the owner is lazy, the place is dirty, & the bartender steels w no consequences . read more

Okay, if you are in or around Cleawater Beach, this place is a MUST! It is a Gem tucked away just off the main drag, literally tucked away.

They make their own hot sauces, with the lime green one being off the charts - Hot! Their guacamole is homemade and amazing and I'm not even a guacamole guy. I ordered what they call the 'Hangover', this was amazing! The Red Beans and rice with some of the hot sauce is rediculous! The chips are homemade and hot out of the oven! Cheers! Rob read more

Worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant. When we were leaving the manager yelled at us, "what kind of parent brings F###ing kids to a bar". Along with many other off color comments. Keep in mind I know it's a bar but on its sign says it's a "bar and grill". Been in many of those establishments INCLUDING THIS ONE!! with our kids traveling all over. Altercation was caused by kids using dart boards without paying to play once made aware, we paid. Still were yelled at. This place has changed. Loved it last time we were in town, and the staff did there best, but management is so bad they can't make up for it. I've never had a manager yell obscenities at a group I was with while paying my bill. read more
