    Jett loving her Kid Taco
    Kim S.

    The man who took our order was so kind. He offered our granddaughter little rubber ducks which she loves. The food is delicious too. My husband ordered the nachos and I had the taco salad with grilled chicken. Plenty of food!! There's a large variety of adult beverages too if you're there without the grand child!!

    Fresh and delicious- Safe bet for a quick bite- they have Beer and Wine and Margarita

    Service was friendly. Food hit the spot! Would definitely recommend if you're beaching it up and want something yummy and light (surprisingly)

    The tacos are amazing! So many vegan options! My wife had a plant fare and a portobello, both well spiced savory and delicious. I had the plant fare and the vegan steak - both well spiced and delicious. The chips and salsa were forgettable, but the tacos more than make up for it! Great ambiance and fast friendly service!

    Here today for lunch. Party of three. My first time here. The food was just so-so. Wife enjoyed hers. Son said was alright. I'm not sure if I will return.

    Chicken quesadillas with churros

    Love this spot! Street mexican food made fresh to order and comes out quick. Had the fish tacos this time and chicken quesadillas both fantastic. Churros were cooked perfectly with a side of chocolate sauce.

    Seems strange doing a Taco Bus review after all these years. In my 35+ years here I do not remember there not being one. I started eating their tacos from a bus on Hillsborough where they originated. With the expansion to 8 locations I have eaten at a few. I love the food and always have, menus vary and change which is inevitable but good eats is a constant. I remember ordering ceviche at the original store but do not recall seeing it at other locations. My usual orders range from the tacos to burritos, tostadas, quesadilla and the cheesy fried chimichanga. Love both the red and green sauces now served at the newer locations but my favorite was a hot sauce I used to get at the original bus. It used to make my head sweat and tingle. But I have not been there in a long time. While I have tried all the proteins like chicken, shrimp, pork and beef (except the newer vegan ones), my heart is most content when I get the pork carnitas with everything including sour cream and guacamole. Love the flavor of that mojo pork. It does not hurt that pricing is great and I am always full and satisfied when done. Nowadays you can get frozen margaritas which the wife and I enjoy. I like the traditional lime and she likes the sweeter flavors of mango and strawberry. There are desserts like flan, churros and dulce de leche. I always loved the fact that their corn tortillas were made from Mexican corn and not the genetically modified monsanto American corn that contains pesticides and poisons. But, Mexico lost the fight to keep American corn out of Mexico after threats of sanctions. So, that may change if it has not already. . The location in Treasure Island is bright, colorful and cheery. The workers nice, helpful, friendly and humble. The wife, an introvert, likes chatting with them. Do not forget $2 tacos on Tuesdays and it is one of my wifes favorite places for beef empanadas. Come get ya' some!

    The ambiance is fun and nostalgic . the food is very good and tacos are large and stuffed for the price..service was good -order and pick up at bus/counter inside ...has cute tees for sale They also serve beer and margaritas and various delicious looking popsicles that i didn't try but will next time..had 3 corn crunchy tacos-portobello, spicy chicken and carne asada...loved all 3...rice was just ok.......will return

    Chimichanga, guacamole & chips
    Margarita B.

    Cute concept, fast casual. I wanted to be in love with the food but it fell a bit short. The queso was good, pico was decent but the steak was not very well seasoned and had a char taste. I also did not like the green salsa which was not mild/hot enough & the red salsa was bland basic stewed tomatoes with little to no flavor. The restaurant was very clean and staff was friendly. Service prep time was quick. Easy location to get into on beach road.

Arrived shortly before 5pm, so it was hopping but not busy by any means. We waited at the front to be seated for about 7 minutes. We were then taken to our table in the bar area where there were several open tables. We were seated at one that hadn't been cleaned off yet from the previous occupants. Staff came and cleaned it off while we stood there awkwardly. Our server was not good. Like the kind of not good where you wonder why food service is the gig he chose in life. My husband had the sangria and I had water, and the server had to come back to our table twice to see what the order was again. After a long while, he returned with the sangria and handed it to me (it wasn't mine) but no water. We had to ask a few times. When we needed a refill we asked for them but we didn't get either beverage until after we were both done with our meals. The food was good. The view is good. The service needs some attention.

The slices of onion were substancial, and the fry actually stayed on the outside so you could experience the concoction as intended. I had multiple options as a vegetarian, but selected their 'Mac Daddy' Mac and cheese. It was full of clearly real cheese, not a stack of velveeta. I appreciated the hefty cheese pull that came with each bite. My family ordered the coconut crusted mahi mahi and it was a topic of the trip hereafter. Sweet, fresh, and fully covered in the salsa as well - the dense fish was so deliciously signed sealed and delivered. The side coconut rice was not quite a suitable partner as it was quite dry - but the fries were recomendable. The service was reminiscent of European service - but we assumed the server had her hands full with other tables. Having dirty dishes from appetizers left on the table the entire meal was a surprise, but doesn't detract from the tasty food itself.

    That was a pleasant and tasty meal, on a clean and spacious deck, above a beautiful scenic beach,…read morewith good company @Peter. I wanted to eat outdoors or on the beach or both while the weather is fantastic and Caddy's delivered. We arrived right at 11am opening on a weekday so it was not yet busy and we could relax and chat without a scrambled, chaotic touristy scene. It's good to be a local sometimes! I've fished for grouper and it's not the easiest fish to catch. You need a boat, gas, time, expertise, experience and patience! It's a wonderful, perfect, fresh, local fish for eating though! Much respect to the local fisher-people! So, I ordered the grouper dinner, blackened. It had some nice mild seasoning on it but it's far from New Orleans style blackened. I think that style would likely be too spicy for some people. This preparation was safe. The rice was fine and the veggies were not overcooked. Parking at 11am was easy with valet or lot across the street options. Parking does fill up and reportedly, can be a significant challenge during peak hours. Life is good with lunch on a beach with a nice breeze!

    4.5 Stars Rounded Up To 5…read more Caddy's on Madeira Beach has finally reopened. Yay! Yelp Elite All-Star Dave W suggested this restaurant for our regular lunch get together because he wanted something on the beach while the weather is nice. Good call Dave W! The weather was perfect for the outdoor balcony. They have a parking lot across the street ($5.50 per hour pay through the kiosk or an app). They also have valet parking @$5 an hour. Since we both arrived just before 11am opening time we had no trouble snagging one of the 20 or so parking spots at the Caddy's lot across the street, but when we came out the lot was full. The renovated location is up on stilts! I guess the back to-back hurricanes taught them a lesson. They also have a little beach type bar on the ground floor that they open whenever they have enough customers. They offer free beach chairs with shade by umbrella or tent, which is a pretty good deal, those can be expensive to rent. I started off with a signature specialty drink, the 'Loosey Goosey'. I chose the $15.99 Double shot drink, which has just the right kick for the beach. Drinks can be ordered with single, double, or triple shot, which is a brilliant idea. It arrived in a souvenir 'Mood' cup that turns pink with the cold contents. I mentioned that as a boy I would prefer blue, but our waitress, Lydianna, was not moved. Later I approached the bartender and asked for a blue cup, which she happily provided, so now I have one of each. I ordered the Surf Salmon ($13) And Steak Turf ($29.99). I told Lydianna that I like my steak so rare a good vet could save it, but ordered medium rare because you have to order meat that way in restaurants otherwise you get rare steak tartare. The steak came out perfect! I passed on the veggies because they included cooked carrots and doubled up on fries. This earned me a $1.77 substitution surcharge which I wouldn't have minded so much if Lydianna had mentioned it, But just like the pink cup, that didn't move her either. Other than those two little lapses she was a great waitress so it only cost Caddy's 1/2 star, and she still earned a good tip. Caddy's is on the beach, in a resort town, so I expected high prices. $80 for food & drink (Which includes large tip), & $11 for parking is about what I figured I'd pay. Good conversation with good friend Dave W: $Priceless!
