Met friends here for lunch for first time. Live Music outside. Staff was friendly and quick service. The place has a Key West vibe. I got short rib tacos and the wife got fish tacos. Both good and came with yellow rice and beans. FL heat so we sat inside to stay. They have limited parking in front of the place and all the other parking is paid parking at a high rate. That is turn off for going into town is having to pay for parking in every lot. Want go shop at a store it's a paid lot. Crazy to me a city that doesn't care and just wants more money. I would recommend them but beware of the parking cost when you go. read more

The Hub Baja Grill - Shirt from the Hub - Seafood Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Anytime we go to siesta key this is the first place we have dinner. One because we love tacos and two they called the hub for a reason. Everybody goes there. We got in town about 2:00 got unloaded in the house and then got the bikes and immediately went up to the hub. Because it's kind of post-season at this point the table wasn't too hard to get and actually got in right away. It's unnatural to see people that happy at work. But when you live in a beautiful area like siesta key and you work at a place called The hub it makes sense I guess. The time we were there we were happy to be able to watch the Stanley cup. It was weird they don't subscribe to a music service but they seem to manually run Spotify which is fine by me but they choose Island to music for the most part. I went with my old standard which is a simple chicken burrito. My wife got fish tacos. And since I'm on this weird no drinking kick I wish they had a better selection of non-alcoholic beers Corona for example makes a non-alcoholic beer but they only had one in a beer which is fine by me it's more for the psychological effect anyway. It's very interesting to sit along the main drag and just people watch. They also have a bit of live music there they seem to rotate from bar to bar to bar but it was really enjoyable. Warm breeze good music full belly and everybody smiling. We will be back hub read more

The Hub Baja Grill in the Siesta Key Village has some very good Birria Tacos on the menu! Very tender beef and served up with rice and beans. Added a side of the Mexican Street Corn and that was a good idea too! The tacos were very good, as I said they were very tender and the spice/flavor was just right! The rice was okay..the pico sweet, the beans were a little different. Not the refried version that I'm more familiar with...these were a more firm version. I mixed all the beans, rice, and pico together and found that the way to go. Service was outstanding and the live music sound level was just perfect. Love the Mexican street graffiti decor and overall friendliness of the place! My only down thought is that "back home" these "Street" Tacos come as a trio...but as they say..."when in Rome" so we just enjoyed them...they are delicious! read more

Worst margarita we ever had. Paid for our drink and left them halfway full. I couldn't even drink it for the sake of the tequila. Not giving a one star bc we didn't eat there, so couldn't give a full review. read more

Its too bad the service was the worst I have experienced and witnessed w others because the food was good. Our waiter was a young guy that could of cared less. Had to ask for everything. Literally took our order never saw him again until collecting the bill. Overall this was the most unfriendly place we went to. We all kept saying how do they do business? read more

Funky Grill in Siesta Key. Amazing staff with fantastic service and a menu that is sure to have something for everyone. Prices are reasonable, seating is plentiful , inside, outside under cover and outside in full sun if that's what you want. I had been highly recommended to try the Bangin Baja shrimp and I wasn't let down, they were amazing, I had them in the tacos Parking in the area can be challenging at times today was not bad, just inputs not free. read more

This place is always happening! Seating inside and out with ever changing music. Sometimes the local plumbing stinks but didn't notice today. The cocktails are fun and tasty! The food is only fair to me sandwiches American Mexican food. But when you're starving... Tried the nachos and i liked them had chili on them and maybe thats off putting for some but i enjoyed. Tried fish tacos and fish sandwich and the fish was fishy! We had mahi and grouper and they tasted the same. Not horrible just fishy. For me it was a fun time tasty drinks meh food. Service was great for as busy as it was--- good time! read more

Went for lunch yesterday. I always get the blackened grouper taco but the smash burger on the menu looked good. It was substandard to say the least. Overcooked no flavor and tough to eat. Server never asked how I wanted peel and eats. They come hot or cold. He brought mine hot. They were just okay. Funny how these places lose their shine like a copper penny once the tourist season goes down. read more

The Hub Baja Grill is exactly the kind of place you hope to stumble into on a beach trip -- laid-back, lively, and serving up food that actually delivers. We came in after a day at Siesta Key Beach and were greeted by live music, a buzzing patio, and a margarita menu that did not disappoint. The house margarita during Fiesta Hour is a steal, and the Cadillac version is absolutely worth the upgrade. read more

Great margaritas, average food, bartenders were all very nice and accommodating! Live music was a little bit loud but still good!

Fish tasted frozen and canned at same time. Would not recommend. Drinks are fine. Location is good. Food is bad.

Walked past this place dozens of times this week and it was packed every night. So we finally tried it tonight. It looks like it's a Mexican restaurant, but it's not. Not really. It's decorated that way and there's enough on the menu that would lead you to think that, but it's not. Too much standard beach/bar food to be a Mexican place. Our server was fine. She was great actually. The music was good. The ambiance was fine. The food was good. But for tacos, the meal included two TINY tacos. Hardly worth $18 for that and some weird beans and some rice. Honestly think it's just packed because no one wants to drive anywhere. I really wanted to like it, but $100 for barely average food for four people (and not nearly enough of it) is not worth it. read more

Wow we went to this place 3 times in our one week trip. Twice because thy have a wonderful patio with great musicians everyday. So we sat and had margaritas and listened to the music. It was cold in florida so they had the heaters out on the patio yo keep everyone warm. We also went for lunch and i got the fajitas which were great. My husband liked his burrito. Beautifully lit at night too. Loved it read more

Food and drinks were decent. It was busy so expected a bit of a wait but took over an hr to get our food after we ordered. No manager came by to check in or apologize for the delay. Other tables by us had similar issues. Clearly mismanaged kitchen. Our server was nice and did apologize but had the audacity to select the 30% tip button when we were paying the bill. That was a huge turnoff and unacceptable. We had her change it read more

New in town, walked up on empty outdoor seating so just sat down at a sunny table, hostess clearly saw us but had to walk up and ask for a menu, she rudely responded that you HAVE to check in with the hostess before seating, walked past me and threw the menus and cutlery on the table and walked away. Sunday 12th April 12:32pm. Definitely not coming back, so rude. read more

This place was ok. Convenient to Siesta Key. Our bartender was busy and told us as much when we tried to talk to him about the food. One friend got tacos, another got a burger called The Hub and a salad. I got lobster bisque, garlic bread, and street corn. My friends enjoyed their food very much with one of them loving her salad. I liked my street corn but the bisque was mah. Garlic bread is what you would expect. Decent drinks but they didn't have the coronarita, which was really what we were hoping for. Overall not bad. read more

We dined here last evening. Service was good. It was nice to have a booth inside as it was a bit windy outside. Many of the places in the area have a preponderance of High-Tops, it was nice to be able to find a place that had available tables and booths. I ordered the Burrito with the beef option along with Rice and Beans. To be honest, it didn't look that great and appeared to be "Dry", but it surprisingly had really good flavor. I think this would have been a fantastic burrito had I ordered some queso to pour over it. read more

We are a long time denizens of the Baja Grill over the years. It is certainly one of the most fun spots in the village, with excellent outdoor seating and live music everyday. The quality of the food is mixed. On a recent day, I ordered the grouper sandwich which was fairly good though over salted, the french fries were mediocre. My wife's cauliflower tacos were decent, and her rice and beans were superior, with a really nice pico de gallo and a green sauce that tasted of cilantro. In the past, I've had the Cadillac margarita which, though a little bit sweet, is pretty potent and a crowd pleaser. There are live musicians daily, usually one group in the afternoon and another in the evening. Definitely an experience not to be missed if you're staying anywhere near Siesta Key Village. read more

We eat here once month and they never disappoint. Today was a taco day for wife and I. She had the carne asada tacos and they were packed with finely chopped and seasoned meat. The taco is simple yet loaded with flavor, we took it without cheese and it is still fantastic. I go for blackened fish if I see it and today is no different. Grouper is killer and the tacos were packed, well seasoned and loaded with pico... tough to go wrong with that combo. Service as always is top notch and we keep coming here for our random key lunch and love it. Today was extra great because they had someone singing to music, his voice was great and added to the ambiance. The hub doesn't disappoint us, keep up the great food and solid portions. read more

we ordered two margaritas and they had no liquor in them at all. We had ordered 2 shots to give the margarita taste. It was $23.00,a drink. Just another local establishment preying on it customers- to hoodwink them in believing they just had a great experience in siesta keys. We each had a hamburger and fries and one drink and it was $116.00 One visit is enough! read more

Sunday 12/10/23 will be the last time you will be able to order the Fajita sampler. This is because the NEW MANAGER will take it out. What a sad world we live in that we appointed an Idiot as a manager.! Apart from that the food was grate the corn (Mexican street corn) was done perfectly. The fajitas were tender made the way that it was Supposed to be made.. Overall great atmosphere fun to be around service was excellent. read more

Wow. Siesta key really is a bit of an epicurean wasteland. Another below average joint that just misses the mark. It's the typical Caribbean vibe nailed and we decide to check it out based on the recommendation of 2 fellow New Yorkers/buffalo/jamokes for the "best" ribs ever. Yeah. No. Not even close. We also get some chicken tacos that disintegrated on reentry. Ugh. Next! read more

The Hub Baja Grill is an absolute gem in Siesta Key. My family and I visited a couple of days ago, and it was an amazing experience. The food arrived promptly, and everything was delicious. While all the dishes were excellent, the Mahi-Mahi Fish and Chips truly stood out, with the fish perfectly cooked and seasoned. My daughter and I both ordered the Surf and Turf Taco and the Bangin' Baja Shrimp Taco, which were also impeccably cooked and seasoned. The tacos were filled with generous portions of steak and shrimp, making every bite satisfying and flavorful. The tempura beer-battered shrimp on the Baja and the grilled shrimp on the Surf and Turf were exceptional--no overcooked, rubbery texture here--and the Baja sauce was the ideal complement. The pickled onions on the Surf and Turf Taco added a wonderful flavor with some acid to cut through the richness of the steak, shrimp and sauce. Thinking we might not have ordered enough food, we decided to add the Street Corn on the Cob, and I'm glad we did. It was insanely good, with the mix of the sweet corn, savory cotija, and the delicious smoky grilled flavor. Our server, Cam, was exceptional--super friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and quick. The atmosphere was a bit loud for our taste, but the live music was great. The guitar player, in particular, was impressive. (He may have been singing as well--we didn't see who was performing.) We'll definitely be returning to The Hub Baja Grill and you should too. read more

We were walking along the beach and decided to have dinner in the village before hiking back to the car. That led us to The Hub. For dinner I had their The Hub Cuban. I'm sorry to say it wasn't as good as I expected. I do admit I have a preconceived idea of what a Cuban sandwich is like from eating so many from Publix that is different than I usually find in real restaurants. I like the mustard and pickle flavor and that was lacking, as well as the bread didn't seem right. That the sandwich was pressed likely played a role. The sandwich was dry. Anyway, I can say service was good. It was a hot evening and that also put me in a bad frame of mind. I'm still going to give them 5 stars. What they offered is probably an excellent traditional sandwich. I'll order something different next time. read more

Great spot for a laid back dinner in the village with some great food! Our server, Dai, was amazing for us. On top of everything, made great suggestions, he really made our experience a great one. We had the dip sampler for an appetizer. The guac and queso were my favorite. For my meal I had the mahi mahi fish and chips. They came with jalepeno hush puppies. This one of the best fish and chips I have ever had. The hush puppies were also delicious. read more

They wouldn't accept my ID because it wasn't a "Real ID" even though it is a legal legitimate drivers license. But if I brought my passport (which I don't carry everywhere with me) it "might have" been okay. Travelers do not come here unless you have your passport actively on your person or Real ID. So disappointed. read more

Stopped in for a little bite before hitting the road for home. Corner restaurant with lots of indoor and outdoor seating available. It was slow but also 11:30 on a Thursday. We had the Shrimp Tacos and grouper. Good atmosphere, nice service. The kids liked the decor and colors. We drove by the evening before and it was busy so I'm sure during dinner time things are a little more bustling. . read more

Happy Hour just started and I sat at the patio bar. Great acoustic live music by an amazing lady singer who is accompanied by a gentleman with an electric guitar. Singing great songs and sounds great. I started off with the strawberry jalapeño margarita which Amanda the bartender did a fantastic job at making and looks super pretty. I've been craving ahi tuna and so I chose the ahi tacos. The tuna taste very fresh and has a very light coating and a very mild sweet flavor added. Comes with a side of rice and beans which I normally don't eat but I did try it. Both have a very mild flavor that doesn't overpower so you can still taste the mild tuna flavor of the tacos. Highly suggest if in the area. read more

We stumbled on this colorful restaurant, and decided to give it a try. We sat outside with our pup. The service was great and friendly: a heater was turned on for us since it was cool, and our pup received a big dish of water. The Cadillac margaritas were fabulous! Potent! We shared an order of nachos which filled us up so much we didn't order more food. We'll be back to sample more! read more

Food was good. Had a multitude of different items. Average taste of a Mexican restaurant. Decor and seating was nice with an abundance of outside seating that is covered. However, what gives it the 4th star is the late entertainment (TJ) may be the best singer at a bar I've ever seen. Ii would highly recommend going on Saturday night. read more

WOW. We stopped in here on a whim, and the food blew us away. We shared pitchers of margaritas, the Corona battered shrimp, and chips and salsa. The margaritas were strong and delicious. The shrimp was fried and juicy and fantastic. The chips were good, and the salsa was smokey and spicy. I ordered the salmon salad and the lobster bisque for my meal. First of all, I am from New York and have been to Boston on multiple occasions. I love lobster bisque. THIS LOBSTER BISQUE WINS BISQUE SUPREME. That is not an exaggeration, someone give me an IV of this soup. The salmon salad was sweet, salty, crispy, and the salmon was perfectly cooked. What a wonderful surprise this restaurant was. I can not recommend it more. read more

First time here and it was not good. Our waiter was snarky, passive aggressive and he kept trying to upsell us on things. At one point when I was ordering chicken tostados, the waiter asked if I wanted to upgrade to grilled chicken instead of chicken tinga because then "they cook the chicken fresh for you!" What exactly does that mean. Like the other chicken is old crap? All of our meals were not hot enough and it all felt like cheap quality ingredients. Margarita was weak! Not good and will not be back. read more
