I joined a group for a birthday celebration. My friends ordered house margaritas that they all enjoyed. I know a taco salad, chorizo tacos and a beef brisket were ordered. Everyone loved their meals and they were each hearty in size. I wasn't real hungry and ordered a side salad with Jalepeno ranch and lime vinaigrette on the side. The lime vinaigrette was awesome! The salad was really big and fresh for $4.25. I would go back just for that.

The obligatory chips and salsa were very good and we ordered the queso which was also very good. Then the main course food arrived. The only saving grace was that the rice and black beans were very tasty and not spicy. I ordered the number 3 combination. The beef hard taco was good, however the enchiladas were so spicy that I couldn't eat them. Some type of terrible green sauce made them so hot I almost gagged. Tex mex should be spiced after serving, in my opinion, not during cooking. Traditional Mexican food is not super hot. This was so spicy it burned my throat and I sent them back after powering through.

My wife and I stopped by Antojitos Doña Chirris and it did not disappoint -- this place is the real…read moredeal. We ordered four al pastor and two birria in consommé, and every single taco was on point. The handmade tortillas alone tell you this place takes its craft seriously. The al pastor was incredibly flavorful, and the grilled onions took it to another level, adding that deep umami richness you just can't get anywhere else. The red hot salsa deserves its own mention -- dangerously spicy, but so addicting you keep reaching for it even when your mouth is on fire. That's the sign of a great salsa. The birria was tender, well-seasoned, and served with the tortilla properly drenched in consommé -- exactly how it should be done. No shortcuts here. Handmade tortillas, authentic flavors, and heat that walks the line between painful and perfect. If you're in the Clearwater area and want tacos that feel genuinely authentic, skip the chains and come here instead. This is a hidden gem that earns every star. Highly recommend -- we'll be back.

The environment and ambiance are exactly what you want out of a classic hole in the wall neighborhood spot. It is a small and unpretentious place with just a few tables, keeping the focus entirely on the kitchen. The family run service is warm and efficient, making you feel welcome the second you walk through the door of this hidden gem plaza spot. Overall, the food here is great Mexican food that tastes completely homemade. Everything is packed with rich flavor, especially if you venture into their street tacos or namesake huaraches, and pair them with their incredible house salsas. Their tostadas are also nothing but a thing, being crispy, perfectly layered, and absolutely spot on. It is easily some of the best food in the area, and the highly reasonable prices keep it a regular favorite.

Service was slow, and the pricing is absurd for what you get. Two street tacos ran almost $15 each taco was basically just a shell with a finger's-length portion of shredded protein, nothing else. The shredded pork and brisket tasted dry and bland, like they'd been sitting in a warmer for hours. On top of that, the sides are a joke: almost $4 for a tiny, maybe four-bite portion of rice or refried beans, and they even charge extra for sour cream. The rice was cold and under-seasoned, the beans tasted straight out of a can, and there's no lettuce, no pico de gallo, no real options. When I asked about swapping in black beans instead of refried, I was told they simply don't offer that. At these prices, you're paying for the downtown St. Pete location, not the food. This felt like a scam -- tiny portions, upcharges on everything, and food quality that reminded me of something you'd get in prison. I've lived in this area my whole life and won't be recommending this place to anyone, especially tourists in the summer. Given that the previous original red Mesa restaurant here didn't survive either, and that got shut down I understand why.

The queso was fantastic, the guac was decent, the salsa was very smokey which is a personal preference if you like that flavor or not. I really enjoyed the barbacoa but unfortunately did not like the carnitas - it had a sour flavor. Also, I was disappointed by the hot sauce because it wasn't hot at all (even the habanero one- just very sweet and tasted only like honey). However, everything is very reasonably priced and if you want a quick, affordable Mexican place in St Pete then this is a very solid choice. I give it a 3.5/5!

We wanted to eat something that would be filling, comforting, grab a few drinks but not necessarily need a whole sit down experience. So we stumbled upon Casita Taqueria. Thanks to the other awesome reviews, we knew this was the place to go! It literally feels like a casita when you walk in. They have lots of outdoor seating, picnic tables and such. Inside had a bit less seating (especially when it's raining and most of the people want to stay indoors). Either way, we found a table for 5 in no time. The ordering is easy, you go up to the register, order what you want and then they bring the food to you. No servers no waiters just easy. Highly recommend ordering a pitcher of margarita, we got the spicy jalapeño one and it was so refreshing! The food was delicious, freshly made, quick, and perfect for a lunch break. We got the tempeh nachos, rice and beans bowl, chips guac and salsa plus everything else the rest of our table got. We left full and our hearts happy! The ONLY THING I wish I would see was a super spicy house sauce. Which btw, they have a little fridge of their house made sauces for you to grab and enjoy. I just WISH there was a spicy one, the sweet one was pretty good!
