The themed decor was on point and the dimmed lights set the ambiance in the right direction. I attended a hosted social hour event there and the staff were pretty attentive for the crowd to be as large as it was. They made sure they kept the space clean after you finished your meal or drink which is very nice. The shrimp tacos was super delicious and filling. It paired nice with my welcome sunset drink. They have inside and outside seating and there is an hourly parking garage directly behind the restaurant as well as street parking available. This a nice spot to date spot and even great for a girlie chit chat day.

Went to Santos Kitchen & Lounge last Thursday for a VIP saxophone performance, and the entire…read moreexperience was terrible. We arrived early for our reserved inside table, but there was no hostess or manager in sight, the artist himself had to seat us. Service was a mess from the start. Our server didn't know basic menu or drink items, and nobody else seemed to know anything either. The hostess was rude and tried to lie about our reservation when my brother and sister-in-law arrived, insisting we only had outside seating even though we were already seated inside and eating. Completely unprofessional. The restaurant became overcrowded, service stayed slow and disorganized, and half the menu seemed unavailable. On top of that, the food was mediocre at best and absolutely not worth the money. The live music was the only good part of the night. Everything else, especially the service and that rude host, ruined the experience. Would not return or recommend.

We visited Rick's On the River on a Saturday evening around 5 o'clock after boating for the day…read more We were very hungry and were worried that Rick's was gonna be very busy. I was able to walk up and find a table immediately for the six of us as the restaurant seat yourself. There is a sign on the table that you can spin to let servers know that you need service, you get the menu yourself. There is also a wheel that shows you how long it will take for you to get your food. Luckily the wheel said that the wait time for food was 20 minutes. The restaurant had a live band, which was cool but a little bit loud from where we were sitting. Our servers came and took our orders very quickly. The food did come in about that 20 minute window. I would say the food is decent, but they have a lot of options and the prices are very fair. This is a waterfront restaurant with live music, you really can't beat the atmosphere. Decent food seems to be is on the cake. This place is a well oiled machine and worth a visit!

Honestly, for as much as some people rave about this place, it's nothing super special? It's good…read more The food is tasty. The prices are a little high for what you get and the flavors were a bit bland. Bonus points for being one of the few left that still brings chips and salsa to the table for free. Y'all know I judge a Mexican place primarily on its salsa and their salsa is GOOD! You can see the chunks of fresh veggies which is always nice. The service was okay, not amazing, but nothing worth complaining about. I guess if I were a drinker it would be even better because those mixed drinks look gorgeous and were coming out left and right but that's just not usually my vibe. Would definitely come back but not as my first choice.

Many crystal chandelier hang from ceilings. That is the reason they call this place Crystal Dining Room. One thing is they lack of service people die to lack of customer. However, food is good in compare to many place and the price is good for the food and ambience. I would host the wedding reception here. We have the New York Strip au Poivre. The steak is big enough and the sauce is great. The accompanying potatoes and asparagus was great. We also has the grilled salmon bed with rice, top with mango salsa. All the dish is great. The chef has great skill. All entree come with salad. I also like their dark n stormy cocktails.

Barrio Tacos in Ybor absolutely knocked it out of the park. The service is exceptional--friendly,…read moreattentive, and the kind of staff that makes you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. The food is even better. Every taco is incredibly creative, packed with flavor, and unlike anything you'll find at your average taco spot. Their specials are always worth trying, the drinks are fantastic, and every visit somehow manages to top the last one. It's rare to find a place that nails the food, drinks, and atmosphere every single time, but Barrio does exactly that. I honestly can't say enough good things. If you're anywhere near Ybor and haven't been yet, you're seriously missing out!

The ambience was clean and pleasant with both outdoor covered seats and indoor seating. I docked this restaurant one star based on the horrible service. Slow is an understatement.

The space is large with plenty of seating, which worked out perfectly for our group since we had the kids with us. I can imagine it gets pretty busy on weekends, but we lucked out with a more relaxed atmosphere. We chose to sit outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather, which made the experience more enjoyable. Service was attentive and friendly from start to finish. Our table ordered a variety of dishes... al pastor tacos, chicken tacos, a grilled chicken tostada, a chicken fajita tostada, chicken quesadillas, and birria tacos. We also shared the Nueva sampler with chips, guacamole, salsa, and queso. Everything that came out was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. Honestly, not a single complaint from anyone at the table. The cocktails were just as impressive. The white pineapple mojito was standout... refreshing, perfectly balanced, and so good I finished it quicker than I usually would. The bill was very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food we enjoyed, which made the experience even more worthwhile. Between the great food, solid service, and family-friendly atmosphere, this is definitely a spot we'll be returning to. The kids loved it, we loved it - it was a great time all around!

I also really enjoyed the popsicle mango margarita but that was one was definitely more on the sweet side The flautas were super crispy but not that much meat inside and the tacos weren't bad but nothing to write home about, granted I am very spoiled with tacos back home in San Diego so given that I think these were very solid and I would have them again when in the area. We were able to catch the last few minutes of happy hour which included 2 for $7 tacos, $5 classic margaritas and $2 off apps, there was also a really good deal for 12 mixed shots for $30 which we definitely plan to try next time, we sat at the inside bar but there was plenty of seating around as well as outside which also has its own bar that they were starting to set up when we arrived. The service was quick and we felt taken care of from when we arrived, something I have noticed around all of Tampa, lots of workers and quick service which is always nice!

They were made to order so of course I had to wait a bit while my tacos cooked. My tacos were ready pretty quickly, the chef was kind and respectful. When I tasted my tacos they taste like your typical authentic tacos. I wish I had sour cream to go with my tacos but other than that, they were decent. If you want to support your local taco shop, give them a try!
