    Shrimp - 3 Tacos
    Nat A.

    Repeat customer. Popped in for lunch on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy. Very different vibe from weekday lunch crowd. Plenty of seating inside and out. Landscaped nicely. Clean bathroom. Staff were friendly and let me taste the carnitas. My party of three dined on carnitas taco lunch special with a side of guacamole, shrimp ceviche and shrimp tacos with beans and rice. Homemade tortillas come with every meal. My only complaint is the ceviche was sweet, like sugar was added. The entire table was baffled. I'd be willing to try it again to learn if it is prepared the same way.

    Chicken Burrito Panzon
    Martine A.

    Food: We had the Chicken Burrito Panzon, and it was delicious! The spices satisfied my Caribbean taste buds. The food tasted fresh even though we got there close to their closing time. Service: Service was good. The young man behind the counter was friendly and made suggestions when we told him that it was our first visit. Ambiance: Chill, not overly crowded. The place was clean, but I feel like they could've put more effort into the decorating. I will definitely go back again.

    First time coming to TacoSon. Saw a few good reviews and had to try it out. Great services, very clean and the food was amazing. This is a must stop every time I come to Tampa.

    #1 combo (two tacos) One chicken, one steak.  $13.50 with a Gatorade to drink
    Michael L.

    Yes this is what you want Incredibly grateful to find this spot as I tour tacos in Tampa. In addition to the beautiful oak tree, there's lots of outdoor seating and space to relax. Vibes are 10/10. Service was fairly quick, but I do wish I had utilized online ordering. There is a drive thru too which was pretty cool. I will definitely be back.

    Two taco meal (barbacoa & chicken)w/rice & refried beans. Not shown is their chips and salsa that were so good, could drink it.

    TacoSon has become one of our regular places to eat at. I usually get their two taco meal, barbacoa being my personal favorite. It comes with rice and your choice of beans, I go for refried. I do think the rice is a tad bit salty but I don't mind because the flavor is great, especially with their amazing green hot sauce. I wish the quesabirria was an option for this meal, but it only comes in a larger portion. I've also gotten the family taco meal, which is a great deal for the amount of food you get. Their chips, salsa, and guac are great, I recommend an order per 1-2 people, as the portion size could be bigger, especially compared to the huge tubs of rice and beans you get when you order a large. I could drink the salsa it's so good. The drive through is a great plus that we use more often than going inside. They also have a relaxed seating area inside with 8-10 tables, and outside which is nice to sit at and eat in the evening/night.

    Steak and Barbacoa taco

    Small place and was super packed at 1pm on a Friday. Veggies on the tacos were perfect and tacos are huge with a lot of meat. Their home made hot sauce is also awesome. I did their three hottest and all were good. We ordered. Side of chips and guacamole and the guacamole was super fresh. The only negative was they were a little skimpy on the chips but my waist line probably appreciated it! I would recommend if you are looking for hole in wall taco place!

    Pulled Pork Burrito loaded w fresh veggies

    Tacoson Authentic Mexican Grill is one of my favorite no frills authentic Mexican restaurants by the Hard Rock Casino in East Tampa! Although the interior decor is pretty plain and nothing fancy, there is lots of Mexican wall art and great Mexican food to make up for it! You have to place your order at the register and the staff brings the food to your table! Tacoson has tacos, burritos, Quesadillas, ceviche, Mexican sandwiches, tostadas, flautas, chimichangas, nachos, and taco salad with your choice of steak, chicken, shredded beef, grilled pork, shredded pork, pork rinds in green salsa, beef tongue, and Mexican style zucchini God the vegetarians. The Panzon Burrito with pulled pork came with black beans, sour cream, rice, sour cream Monterrey jack cheese, and tons of veggies. Combined with 4 house made dark green, light green, dark red, and light red hot sauces, the flavor was amazing! The Burrito is a pretty big size but the burritos at Taco Bus and Moe's are bigger than this burrito but the ingredients of this Burrito makes up for it! 9/10 The Bistec Ranchero, is the special of the day on Fridays, and comes with grilled steak, onions, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, rice, beans, and tortillas. The steak was tender, we'll Marinated, not chewy, and not overcooked. The specials of the day ate the best value and give you a ton of food if you're hungry! This dish is very tasty and will leave you totally full or is enough for 2 modest meals if you're trying not to eat too much. 9/10 If you're in the East Tampa area, near the Hard Rock Casino, and in the mood for some good authentic no frills Mexican food, I highly recommend you visit Tacoson Authentic Mexican Grill!

    Quesadillas and Flan
    Michelle B.

    We got the carne asada quesadillas, rojas tamales, and flan. For drinks, we got sweet tea and pineapple aqua fresca. I highly recommend the quesadillas! They add lots of veggies inside and not too much cheese, which I like - feels so much healthier. The pineapple aqua fresca was great too, very refreshing. Service was quick and friendly. I was told the restaurant was female-owned and mostly female staff, which was lovely.

    shrimp ceviche
    Trisha P.

    we were out of state and visiting the area looking for some good authentic mexican food. we stumbled across this place and we loved it. The ceviche is super good !! we also ordered the 2 taco combo and with carne asada and barbacoa, everything was super delicious and authentic, also the pineapple agua fresca was so good i ordered another large one to go lol. i will absolutely come back, employees were super friendly as well.

The decor was very nice throughout…read more Depending on your mood, there were many places to dine in the restaurant, from the lounge areas to the main dining room. All was inviting, and a great way to remove yourself from the very busy atmosphere of the Marriott lobby which was crowded. We sat at the bar since we loved to be surrounded by the activity of the place. We started off with their special spicy margarita and ceviche. Loved that it was more Peruvian style, and not the tomato based one. More my preference of the lime taste. Then for dinner my husband had the strip steak, and I had the chicken fajitas. Both were flavorable, especially the sides, especially the corn cake type side, that were served with the strip steak. Both were seasoned well. My husband's flank steak, though delicious, was overcooked. The bar tender was attentive and answered all our questions about the menu, and provided some great suggestion including which entrees were most popular and also her favorites. Definitely will come back. Will also order the carne asada again but make sure to tell the server to cook the steak more medium rare than medium.

Orders were incomplete or wrong. No one came back to "see how everything was" or to clear the table. We flagged someone to bring the tab. They charged 20% for service charge. This was our first and last time.

    If you are in Ybor City and trying to enjoy yourself without lighting your wallet on fire, Barrio…read moreTacos is a very smart move. What I appreciated most is the build your own taco option, because it allows you to order exactly what you want without paying for a bunch of filler ingredients you were going to push to the side anyway. When you strip it down to the proteins and toppings you actually like, the cost savings are real. In a place like Ybor, where prices can creep up quickly, that matters. Now, the à la carte menu can feel a little confusing at first glance. It is not the most straightforward ordering system if you are just breezing through. But once someone walks you through it and you understand how to piece your order together, it becomes completely worth it. You end up with exactly what you want, and you are not overpaying for things you did not ask for. The vibe was great. The service was friendly and patient, which helps when you are trying to decode the menu. And the location is ideal. There is an outdoor patio with umbrellas on the sunny side of the street, which gives you options. You can sit in the sun if you want that warm Florida glow, or you can stay shaded if you are protecting your skin but still want to be outside watching the action unfold on the strip. And let's be honest, half the entertainment in Ybor is people watching. Add in the random roosters casually strolling around like they own the neighborhood, and you have a full show with your meal. I loved everything about this place and highly recommend it if you want to save a few bucks on food while still soaking up everything Ybor City has to offer. Good tacos, good vibes, good people watching. Hard to beat that combination.
