That would've earned Carmelita's two stars, but the fresh guacamole ($7.00) was the most inexpensive that I've paid for. Come for the atmosphere and the guacamole and chips. Then leave. The flour tortillas were served up wrapped in tinfoil. Almost every Mexican and Tex-Mex place that I've been to has these cute little warming containers for the tortillas. The tin foil did not keep the flour tortillas hot. I ordered the steak fajitas ($19.99) with rice and refried beans for my side dishes. Mom ordered the Chile Rellenos ($16.49). Both dishes were plentiful and well presented. But they lacked any distinctive taste. Our server brought us two flimsy styrofoam containers for our leftovers. We had to ask for additional containers for the guacamole, chips, and salsa. It was hard to get our servers attention and we waited several minutes for any request to be attended to. Overall I was disappointed.

I decided to order my team lunch so we called in an order for 6 meals. We ordered (2) Tacos Dorados which come with eight flautas, Chilaquiles Rojos o Verdes, Tostadas de Tinga which comes with 4 tostadas, Beef Fajitas, and Carne Asada tacos. Each order comes with two different hot sauces - the chipotle was my favorite and had a nice kick to it. Everyone on my team loved their food. It took them about 20 minutes to prepare all of the food and it cost just under $60. This is without a doubt a "hole in the wall" place but don't let that discourage you, the food is worth it.

Don't be put off by the exterior appearance. It's a little shabby looking outside. We almost didn't go in. I am so glad we did. Inside is cutely decorated with some small flower vases on each table. The wait staff was friendly and service efficient. It was a Monday night and only one other table was full. They were doing a brisk takeout business though. My wife had the chicken enchilada from the appetizer menu. It was big enough for a meal. She said it was the best she has had. First basket of chips and salsa was included. Wife not a big fan of the salsa but I feel each restaurant has their own take on salsa. We also got an order of Guacamole. It was fresh and delicious. I finished it off myself. I got the Mojado burrito with carnitas. It was stuffed with tender, juicy pork and I could barely finish it after devouring all the guacamole. We had no room for dessert. Overall a nice casual experience with friendly service and fresh food.

If you are looking for authentic Mexican food do NOT go here. This is honestly worse than having Taco Bell. We tried a couple things and none of it was worth the money.

I was craving some Mexican food this weekend so I decided to check out a new spot I recently heard…read moreabout, Tikismexicangrill. This spot is north of St Pete, actually Kenneth City. It is located in an older plaza and is somewhat hard to see from the road. I called in my order, so this review focuses on the food. I decided to try some tacos and a quesadilla. I went with a pastor, carne asada, and tinga taco. I saw they offered birria and decided to try a birria quesadilla. They said it would be 15 minutes which worked out well. I arrived and they had my order ready. I paid and walked out to the car to find only one box in my bag and it felt a bit light. I found 4 tacos in my box instead of the 3 I ordered and a quesadilla. I went back in and told them about the issue and they tossed a quesadilla on for me. It came up quickly and I was on my way. They were good about making it right. I got home and dove in. The birria taco looked great and also tasted great. The consume was on point as well. It was nice to find another solid option for birria close to St Pete. The chicken tinga was really tasty as was the carne asada & pastor. All of the tacos had a generous amount of filling. The birria quesadilla was hefty and quite filling. I had hoped it would be served with the consume, but it was not. They packed it with a solid amount of cheese and meat. The sauces that were served with the tacos and quesadilla all had great flavor and a decent amount of heat. Overall, the food was quite good. There was some confusion with the order, but they made it right quickly and I was happy with the way they handled it. The birria taco was on point and I really look forward to having a few more of those. I will definitely return in the near future to enjoy some of their other menu items.
