    Burrito Prenado

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

    Order from the bus!

    Great spot for vegans! FOUR different vegan protein options that can be subbed in any of the menu items. Between the tacos and quesadilla, the quesadilla was our fav. The vegan steak was probably our favorite of the protein options, but the butternut squash medley and other vegan options were really good as well. Friendly, fast, casual, convenient, and fun atmosphere. Indoor and some outdoor seating available.

    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!

    Bus inside building,  serving food

    Best food around!! Meat was soft, well seasoned, ordered 5 items, everything was fresh and delicious! Returned following night for more....so good!

    I'm not sure if this is the same location I visited - I can't tell - but I was pleasantly surprised by this place. The concept is really fun - a bus in a restaurant! And the menu items included gluten free, dairy free, and plant based options. I had a problem with my order and they fixed it promptly. This is a no frills place but they have some fun merch and I find it hard to believe someone could walk away w/ out finding something - they have too many options! Follow their 1-4 menu instructions for ease of ordering

    Went today to Taco Bus I had heard of this place from DDD The set up is awesome The counter is literally set up like a a bus There is a place to sit inside and outside The staff there is super friendly Lots to chose from the menu that they have of extensive Mexican eats We went with a simple 3 tacos 2 grilled chicken and I had a carnita Both me and my wife shared them Soooooo delicious Muy bueno as they say Ingredients are fresh The tacos hit the spot today This is definitely a place to try for some Mexican eats

    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.

I joined a group for a birthday celebration. My friends ordered house margaritas that they all enjoyed. I know a taco salad, chorizo tacos and a beef brisket were ordered. Everyone loved their meals and they were each hearty in size. I wasn't real hungry and ordered a side salad with Jalepeno ranch and lime vinaigrette on the side. The lime vinaigrette was awesome! The salad was really big and fresh for $4.25. I would go back just for that.

The obligatory chips and salsa were very good and we ordered the queso which was also very good. Then the main course food arrived. The only saving grace was that the rice and black beans were very tasty and not spicy. I ordered the number 3 combination. The beef hard taco was good, however the enchiladas were so spicy that I couldn't eat them. Some type of terrible green sauce made them so hot I almost gagged. Tex mex should be spiced after serving, in my opinion, not during cooking. Traditional Mexican food is not super hot. This was so spicy it burned my throat and I sent them back after powering through.

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!
