    Bistec de puerco empanizado

    Incredible experience!! Best mix of foods ever! Their Cuban bread is the best I've eaten EVER!! Amazing service, loving people makes you feel like family!!

    Beef hard shell taco

    I have driven past this place countless times and never once stopped by. I really thought "you can't judge a book by its cover" but still never tried it out. I kept reading through reviews and finally gave it a go. Why on earth have I never been??? I think it's so unique that this place has been here since the 80s, giving it that dated look. It's a mom and pop shop owned by a very awesome family. We had the pleasure of seeing three generations on this visit: la abuela, the daughter and her kids. I thought that was so sweet!! You can tell they all very much care about their customers and their food. We had the best service. We got a tostada with pork, beef hard shell tacos, rice and beans, the Cuban sandwich and a piece of fried steak with salad, plantains and rice and beans. I can't emphasize enough that everything was 10/10. The steak did take longer than everything else to come out but it was well worth it. I went back for two more hard shell tacos and the owner couldn't believe it. They were so good!!! And their sauce? Just try it. FIRE!! I'm breastfeeding okay!!!? Lol the Cuban sandwich was the best I've ever had. Melt in your mouth and seasoned so well. This will be our go to spot for take out when headed to the beach for sunset. I'm punching the wall that I never gave this spot a go until now. Seriously never judge a book by its cover.

    Stopped here at the last minute for lunch. It's an order at the counter and have a seat type of place. Then they bring your order out to you. Lots of specials. Serving size is on the large side. Food is very tasty. It's not a fancy place. Food comes out in styrofoam containers. Food is good. Service is fast. It seems like they do a good lunch business so seating is limited. Not bad overall.

    We found this somewhat hidden little restaurant near our condo. Have eaten there twice and will go back once more before we leave. It is family run and been in business since 1980. The menu is large, the food is excellent, and the service good. Each meal freshly prepared. If you want alcohol there is only a few selections of bottled beer.

    The service and the food is heavenly!! Just like eating in your grandmas kitchen!! The owner is fantastic very sweet!!! Would definitely recommend to everyone!!!!

    California burrito (half ate)

    Very good food with awesome portions, the ladies at the desk and serving were extremely nice. I don't think they know English all that well but they tried their best to communicate. 10/10. Has a grandmas house vibe to it.

    This was my first time at Taco Mix so I tried a few things on the menu. I ordered a couple of chicken tacos, pork tamales and a small cup of chili. The chicken was a little dry but still good, the chili was tasty. I like beans in my chili and there were none in theirs. Some places just don't put beans in -- and that's ok. I think my favorite was the pork tamales. There are two per order and it comes with a little salad, pico de gallo, Spanish rice and refried beans with melted cheese on top. They offered homemade hot sauce which was tasty on the tamales and tacos too. I didn't finish everything since it was actually a lot of food for lunch, but it was nice to try a few items on their menu. I'm local here and Taco Mix is literally 5 minutes away, so I'm sure I'll give them another try in the future.

    Broken chips with salsa
    Bill L.

    Meh. Nothing spectacular. Not really authentic in any way unless you're looking for tex-mex. The al pastor was burned. The sope was okay but had very little meat. Bathroom was disgusting. A little expensive for what you get. And the chips with the chips and salsa were almost all broken. Here's a pic. Salsa was nice and fresh but could have had more whole chips for dipping. I'm always hesitant to drop a 20% gratuity for counter service and all they do is bring your food out on a tray. I would not return to this place when in the area again.

    Veggie tacos
    Ashley T.

    Phenomenal! Got 12 veggie tacos after a day at the beach, and they were fantastic. This was all that was left after we finished eating. Can't recommend this place enough.

    Wow!!!!! I can honestly say this was the best Mexican take out food I have ever had in my life. I had the chicken salad & they loaded on the chicken which was amazing. The chicken itself was so moist, tender and flavorful. It tasted like it had some lime juice mixed with it- AMAZING. We also got the small order of guacamole and chips- they give you soooo much guacamole for the price! Really good. We also got 3 beef text mex style hard shell tacos and a beef burrito. They were super good too. *** The thing that made it even better? the mild salsa we got on the side (wish we got the hot too). It wasn't spicy at all but had great flavor- maybe tomatoes in it too? either way we loved it. we ordered ahead and picked it up in the drive through window especially because the coronavirus! We will order again and again and again.

    Front where you can order, they have glass bottles of coke!!! Yummy!

    During our visit to Marco Island, friends highly recommended HavAnnA Café, so we stopped in for…read morelunch--and it instantly became a place we know we'll return to. The restaurant feels like a colorful, garden‑style hideaway, full of charm, warmth, and the delight of discovering a true local gem. And of course, the two resident chickens, Popcorn and Carmel, add their own quirky personality to the experience. Our server, Mimi, was excellent--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The café is tucked away along the back roads of Chokoloskee, surrounded by the kind of old‑Florida scenery that's becoming rare. The food was outstanding. We started with tostones (fried plantains with garlic), then enjoyed the pork sandwich with chips and the pork plate with rice, beans, and two perfectly cooked sweet plantains. Every bite was rich with authentic Cuban flavor. We finished with the flan, which was so good we could have easily ordered a second. With its lovely outdoor seating, light radio music floating through the air, and a staff that treats you like family, HavAnnA Café delivers an experience that feels both heartfelt and memorable. The only thing missing was a hammock--I could have taken a nap and geared up for an early dinner. The seafood stew looked especially tempting for next time. A wonderful stop in a part of Florida that still holds its original soul. And by the way, don't leave without grabbing a bottle of their hot sauce--sweet, flavorful, and just the right amount of kick!!!

    Wow! This may be one of my favorite breakfast experiences. We could have sat here forever…read more Friendly people and relaxed. They really set the tone for the visit. Food is delicious! Loved it here!

From the moment the food hit the table, you could tell it was made with care, pride, and tradition. Every bite had purpose. I started with the yuca rellena, and it set the tone right away. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, it was packed with flavor. The filling was rich and well-seasoned, creating the perfect balance of texture and taste. It was not just good, it was memorable. The pork sandwich was outstanding. The pork was tender, juicy, and cooked just right. Each bite had a deep, savory flavor that felt authentic and satisfying. Nothing was rushed or thrown together. You could taste the time and attention behind it. The yellow rice and beans were exactly what they should be. Simple, flavorful, and comforting. This is the kind of side dish that does not try to steal the show, but still stands strong on its own. The fried yuca brought everything together. Golden, crisp, and cooked perfectly, it added that extra layer of texture that made the entire meal complete. What stood out most was the consistency. Every item on the plate was done right. No shortcuts. No weak spots. Just solid, high-quality food across the board. If you are looking for real flavor, real portions, and food made with pride, this is a place you need to visit. I will absolutely be back.
