I enjoyed my food. It was solid but not overly exciting. I went for taco Tuesday and went safe on America style tacos. They were decent just not a ton a flavor. The service was also good. Not overly expedient but they were pleasant. The ambiance has real potential but the bar area was very cluttered and messy. I don't think they should be folding napkins and other distracting things right next to the guest. I go to relax and visual clutter is an anxiety thing for me personally. I'll definitely go back.

I took advantage of the Taco Tuesday they offered and got it to go. Weather restaurant was very busy with people in the waiting area, the staff was super friendly. they offered both Mexican and American style tacos. So, I got four of each. They were both a little soggy and hard to peel off the paper once I got home, likely due to the steam so I assume it would've been better had I eaten it there. The American style with ground beef were better than I expected, but the Mexican style with steak, while good, weren't as good as I had expected. I would still go back and order either one of these and would absolutely try some of their other items. read more

Loved the decor and service! Was seatrd promptly without a reservation and food came quickly. Atmosphere was very chill and relaxed. Not a lot of loud noise or commotion even though it was busy. Worth it? Maybe. Price was expensive for what I could get at comparable locations and it wasn't anything unique or extraordinary. read more

3.5 Our first visit here was marvelous. Delicious food, good drinks, wonderful service. It was weird that the server we had was wonderful. She was attentive and kind. Then as the check was being placed, some dude comes over and tells us he is our server and asks if we need anything else. That was strange. He took all the credit for her hard work. Now our second visit was not marvelous. Drinks took forever. Even though we ordered the same drink, all three tasted like a different drink. The server even came to us asking if they were made properly because the bartender asked her to. It was odd. Food was slow as well, waiting 35+ minutes for arrival. Between slow drinks and food, we were not happy with the second visit. 10.11.2025 read more

Enjoyed dinner at this strip mall restaurant. It's pretty big inside & decorated very nicely with many colorful "Day of the Dead" pics & nice booths & chairs. We sat at our usual spot - at the bar! We enjoyed $13 Don Julio Reposed drinks while enjoying the chips & salsa. They have 3 kinds of salsa you can enjoy with the chips - mild, spicy red, spicy green. The green was my favorites - so flavorful! For dinner I had a steak taco for $4.50 - yes - you can order just 1 or 2 if you like - I didn't want a whole dinner. My husband had the chicken fajitas - delish! I had some too. Service was great but it was kind of quiet in there. Go check it out - the food is excellent & not fake Mexican! read more

Honestly the best Mexican food in town that I've found! The table side guac is incredible, fresh and flavorful. Our service was on the slower side this evening, our whole dinner lasted almost two hours for a party of four. However they were quite busy for a Friday evening. Regardless, the food is great and I would be happy to come back for more! read more

We haven't been here in awhile and glad we got a chance to stop by again. We were greeted and seated immediately. The entire restaurant was very clean and everyone was friendly. Our server was amazing, friendly, personable and efficient. In fact, this ENTIRE restaurant was an amazingly well oiled machine!! For example, when you order their freshly made guacamole, the server orders it via a microphone they have on them, which gets the process started immediately. We ordered one chicken fajita burrito, and one chicken fajita chimichanga. Unfortunately, we received two chicken fajita burritos, and when I pointed it out to our server, he picked up my plate right away and brought it to the kitchen. A few minutes later, I got, what I considered, a very sad looking chimichanga. All they did was put the ingredients in the middle of a flour tortilla, folded it into a square and fried it. In fact, that was the way it was served to me, a square fried flour tortilla with absolutely nothing on top of it as their menu description said. Though, whatever it was, was very tasty, but it was definitely not a Chimichanga, which is what I expected. Based on my meal, whatever it was, I should give this review of our visit a three out of five, but because our server was so friendly and awesome, I will go with four stars. read more

Great Mexican food is elusive in our area. Takos does as good a job as anyone else. The carnitas tacos are delicious and the rice and beans are fine. I like the Patron margarita - it's better than most. The mixtos enchiladas are just OK - I'd stick with the traditional with ground beef. My wife really enjoyed the ground beef chimichaga and said she'd get it again. I didn't like it so much. read more

Service & food was very good. Wait-staff very attentive. Great atmosphere. Enjoyed dinner with family.

I ordered the Birria tacos, and it was just a let down unfortunately. The broth was great, the meat was unseasoned and dry. Rice and beans were great, but they should never be better than a birria tacos. The waiter was good no complaints there. Music and vibes are good too. This is just a place to go and get a margarita. read more

5 star service. The salsas are outstanding. The one with heat was the best. Plenty of tortilla chips on the table immediately. Interior is not what you'd expect from a strip mall setting. Chimichanga, rice and beans were very good. $5 margarita was spot on. Will definitely return. read more

I wish we had discovered this place sooner! We will definitely be back! We loved the decor and the booth was super comfortable. Started off with chips and salsa. Our party of 3 enjoyed the macho burrito and (from the specials menu) pollo Jalisco and enchiladas suizas. Portions were generous and the food was super fresh. Service was top notch and our server made us feel like he catered to us exclusively. We got to enjoy happy hour beer specials as well. Restrooms were also exceptionally clean. We cannot wait to visit this awesome restaurant again soon! read more

Absolutely delicious! The food was incredibly fresh and scrumptious. These two dishes together are the magic duo. They also serve complimentary chips and salsa, which is always a bonus in my book. I ordered Mexican coke to drink which hits perfectly with the food. The ambiance is chill, I'd recommend asking for a booth. Our server was attentive and accommodating. 10/10 experience. read more

From the outside this restaurant looks boring, inside its a hopping lively place with a bar and tables on each side. Large groups can easily be accommodated. Guacamole was made tableside by a young lady, it was not exciting, basically she cut 2 avocados and smashed them in a bowl and added some condiments and that was it, no interaction at all. Food was fresh and favorable. We recommend the birria tacos and shrimp fajitas. The side of beans come in a fried tortilla bowl. The side of rice comes in a metal bowl. Each table gets comp chip and hot sauce. Definitely a great place to hang with friends and family. read more

The staff is so incredibly amazing and professional. They offered me fast exceptional service, and went above and beyond to get me what I needed. (Dietary restrictions) The food was fantastic. No abundance of grease, and it was cooked perfectly. Very tasty, and fresh. I did not have to wait long either. The ambiance is very inviting. Nice large bar and tons of seating for parties and such. Easy highway access, and plenty of parking. Average prices. All in all, extremely happy!! read more

They have the best Beria tacos in the whole two counties. I don't like their side, dishes of beans and rice because they put chopped chilies in there and other vegetables and it's kind of weird I like traditional frijoles and traditional Spanish rice, but their tacos are really flavorful and they're consommé to dip it in is really the best in the whole area. I just get two or three of the Birria tacos as an à la carte order and I have the provided chips and salsa. Fernando is there very best Server and he's a lot of fun as well, although he tends to work dinner shift. read more

I promise you will not find better Mexican food!!!! The service is better than any restaurant in the area. The ambiance is super fun and inviting. Pricing is beyond reasonable. read more

Had the trio of soft shell taco, enchilada, burrito. All in barbacoa. Excellent. Rice and beans were above average. Seemed somewhat authentic. Others in the group were happy with their meal & service was good. Bathrooms clean, Parking can be tight as they share the lot with other businesses. A nice place to dine in. read more

Great food. Reasonably priced. Will go there again. Atmosphere truly satanic. Music some nights.

Went early on a Sunday evening before it got busy. Restaurant is clean and bright. Chips and salsa were brought right away and drink order was taken immediately. Food order took a bit longer as we had already eaten our chips. We asked for more chips and it took a long time and a 2nd request. Food also took awhile to come and my order was wrong. I think a manager was the one to deliver our food (came in 2 separate trips) and there was no apology for the wrong order other than he said he'd go check. By the time I received my food the rest of my party of 4 had almost finished. Our waitress apologized when she finally brought my food but no other accommodations were made. Food was good. We had 2 who ordered the shrimp quesadilla, one 2 tacos and the other shrimp enchiladas. With many options in the area to choose from, while good food, I've had Mexican as good other places with better service and based on other reviews the service has been mediocre at best. Nice place, just needs staff training. read more

Almost a 5 star, but service wasn't great. We got there at 6PM on a Friday for dinner. We were able to be seated right away, but there was a good wait if you arrived after that. Many tables were un-bussed while a good sized crowd was waiting to be seated. The wait staff seemed to eb delivering food to the wrong tables as well. We also waited quite a while for our waters to be refilled. On the bright side, it's a festive, nicely decorated restaurant with a great bar area. The food was delicious, worth waiting for. I had the carnitas de pollo and it was great. Pricing was very reasonable. We'll be back in again! read more

Atmosphere remains high, food is solid. Definitely good. Service is lacking...could not get her attention and she rarely came around. Mixup with fajitas order and then double billing on our check that had to be corrected. Had to send a drink back to the bar as well. read more

Easily the best Mexican restaurant my family has experienced since moving to Florida! Located in the Walmart parking lot, Takos Cantina is nothing short of a hidden gem. Upon walking in, you're met with beautiful cultural artwork and statues. Vibrant colors, intricate lighting fixtures and detailed paintings tie the room together offering something new and exciting to gaze upon. The facility was EXTREMELY clean; the floors to the glasses and silverware, everything was spotless. From the host to all the waitstaff we came into contact with, everyone was kind and welcoming. We (a family of four) were sat immediately and offered fresh chips and salsa. We were just in time for the five dollar margaritas, which were perfection! My father ordered the traditional margarita, while I had the watermelon version. We ordered tacos, burritos and fajitas with everything being fresh, flavorful and delicious! Dessert was the finishing touch to this amazing meal. I cannot recommend this place enough! read more

This is the best decorated Mexican restaurant I've been in. The lights, chairs, wall art, tile, etc was amazing. Our waiter was ok . He was a little new. We had to ask for chips and salsa. They had 2 salsa flavors. One hotter than the other. I started with the tequila flight $25. It was beautiful and very good. The bartender brought it out and he was so impressive and funny. Our waiter brought my wife the wrong beer . We split the chimichanga with steak. It was good and had queso on it. The beans were good. Rice was normal. I think we will sit at the bar after meeting the great bartender next time. The food looks very good here. read more

I swear!! This place never ceases to surprise me. I reported before that this place has screwed up my order.... LOL!!! Well, it happened again. The only consistency here is that they always get our order wrong. Never fails!!! The food is salty, especially their meats (like they are applying a preservative). The appearance of this place would indicate a good experience, but think twice. Looks in this case are deceiving!! YUK! Poblano's for me. read more

We haven't found a WOW Mexican restaurant yet, this is just standard. Food ok to good, service good, decor tends to be based on the dark spiritual side of Mexico. I gave 4 stars, more like 3.5 . FYI WOW is hard to find, spent a week around Tyler, TX , only found 1 out of 7. read more

Food is excellent. Great margaritas. Excellent Taco Tuesday specials. Service top notch.

Margaritas were good. Table of three. One order was completely wrong when they came to the table. Black beans were flavorless. Shredded beef was good and chicken was good. Went here since it was open and craving a margarita. Way overpriced for what you get. Margaritas were a 5 and food was a 2.5-3 Not sure if we'll be back even if it is the only place open post storm. read more

Great food, good service, and excellent ambiance! Highly recommend this place for food and drinks.

My experience with @Takos Cantina was very positive. Our first trip was delicious and included excellent service. The margarita was very good with a good price point . My husband loved the interior theme. The enchiladas, the burritos and tacos were well seasoned and fresh. read more

The food is always consistent and delicious. Haven't ever had a bad meal in the few times I have been. The service has generally been fast and accurate. Inside the decor with the "day of the dead" themed chairs and Mexican music is a nice touch. Will be back. At there better, not within a decent drive. This place has become my go to when I crave Mexican food. read more
