    Sangria and guacamole special for $10! Delicious homemade chicken fingers and side salad - everything was fresh and tasty!
    Jamie B.

    Cute place, unexpected find for sure! Friendly service, great food, drinks and live entertainment! Can't wait to go back!

    Fish Tacos

    Fish tacos 9.1 great little diner to hit up while driving to the beach and the atmosphere outside is down wright just chill

    Always great food, service, and ambience with the option for indoor or outdoor seating. Good selection of draft beers and cider. We have never been disappointed in anything we have ordered food or drink wise. It is our favorite place do go after kayaking since they have a big parking lot which can accommodate us. They have a daily Taco Twosday where you can get a draft beer or cider and two tacos for $10 which is a great deal!

    So this is place if you drive by too fast you'll never know it's there! Glad we stopped in as it was an enjoyable and unsuspecting treat. A combination bar and restaurant venue with an array of tap beers but no "hard" alcohol. Menus are laminated adventure and your served on paper plates and meals are packed in to go boxes already. Food choices were really unexpected with some "neat" offerings. We picked 3 but need to go back to try the others that caught our attention. Service was great considering there was only in server working and she kept up with it all.

    Azteca salad with lemon poppy seed dressing on the side. Keel farms strawberry lime cider! Amazing combo.

    I've been coming to Waypoint Bar and Grill consistently for about 6 months. Literally a weekly meal of mines! I'm in love with their customer service, the Owner is always hands on and very friendly. Jamie also gives me amazing service and is very sweet. The space layout is unique and fun. They have tables/seats outdoor and indoors as well as a small outdoor bar connected to the building. They have craft beers and weekly live music. I enjoy coming here! Dishes I've had : Azteca Salad : 10/10 my favorite salad ever. Goat cheese, lettuce, strawberries are always fresh! The sunflower seeds just give it the nutty and crunch it needs. I want to find this lemon poppy seed dressing or the recipe! Mahi Mahi : 8/10 very good but as Mahi can be it does get a bit dry. The sides rice, and beans were very good. Sweet Shrimp : 9/10 Delicious, always cooked perfectly and not too sweet. Pizza : 7/10 Tortilla Crust is clever and honestly tastes very good, but I believe it is over priced for the size and ingredients.

    One of the very best places to eat, drink great local microbrews, and listen to live music outside on the weekends! Open everyday except Monday, for lunch and dinner. Laid back atmosphere with delicious selection of food! A fantastic addition to Palmetto!!

    It's really not a bar. They don't have any liquor, at all. How can you call yourself a bar. Also, no Mexican beer at all.

The girls are the front taking the orders are extremely kind. They speak both English and Spanish, and explain any of the dishes if needed. The food came out very quickly. My partner and I ordered the chicken that comes with rice, beans, and tortillas. You can either order the one that comes with 5 pieces, or the one with 10 pieces of chicken. The 5 piece was enough for one person. We also ordered the steak flautas that comes with avocado and lettuce. Everything looked delicious, but the chicken was a little dry. It seems like the chicken is all prepared earlier and warmed up, so it was not as juicy as we would have liked. Inside of the flautas were also a bit dry. The rice was good, but I was not a big fan of the beans because they were salty. We also ordered the large pineapple drink, which was perfect for such a hot day.

When you order, the food comes out super quick. We opted for the 6 piece with rice and charro beans, which comes with at least 10 fresh tortillas. Don't expect heavy cheese or sauces- this is all about the chicken. I imagine it could be dry depending on when it was cooked, but what we had was flavorful and juicy. Served with a smile and in a small rating area. Definitely worth the trip to check them out

But, don't pass it by because it's not fancy because the food makes it worth going in!! You can enter the driveway through the front or, like us, miss that and go down the next road to another entrance. The parking lot is big-with plenty of parking in front near the entrance. We were greeted at the front and shown to a booth. Social distancing is not a problem since the place is huge! We were given menus but we planned ahead via menus on Yelp. I ordered my normal chile relleno and hubs ordered the chicken fajitas. The chips and salsa were good and the margaritas were excellent!! They tasted like they were made of fresh ingredients and delicious! And at $3 on Thursday for the small one which was perfect size for me! Walqiidia was our server. She always very good! She seemed to come by no matter how busy she was. The chile relleno was scrumptious!! It was like I would get in Mexico. Nice light sauce on the fried chile which may have been baked because it was tender. Just how I like it!! Hubs loved the chicken fajitas!! The chicken was tender and both the chicken, onions and peppers were charred from the grill. The meals were served with rice and refried beans which were good. Tortillas were good, too! If you care about good food over ambiance, I definitely can recommend El Sombrero. I've read that different days/chefs made a difference in the food so I will update if that happens. I can't wait to go back!!

The food is not bad, not at all, it's just very, very bland. We're in Palmetto, where there is a lot of Mexican people, so I was hoping the food would be a little more authentic tasting to appeal to the locals, but it appears as if the demographic they are trying to appeal to are the older folks, because honestly, this is how I would expect Mexican Night at a nursing home food to taste. Absolutely no spice in any dishes, all of them taste the same. This is a nice restaurant and I really want to see them do well, because they are so close to my house and with all the traffic going to Bradenton, it would be nice to have a great restaurant that's only a 2 minute drive away, but we end up driving to other Mexican restaurants, passing right by this one. Like I said, the food isn't bad, it will do if you are in a hurry or if your elderly relatives are visiting, but a little spice would be nice! I'll keep trying them, but after 5 visits, nothing has changed.
