Food was good. Server behind the bar was rude, not welcoming and seemed agravated. We ate outside and left quick. It wasnt that busy and we got a seemed put out of her way vibe. Tacos were tasty and fresh, salsa and quac. excellent.Outdoor seating was the norm, nothing real fansy. Could have used a little bit of decorating. The price was high for apps.

Absolutely Amazing Experience!
I absolutely love this place! The ambiance is perfect, sitting outside with a view of the ocean, watching people ride by on bicycles, walking with their beach gear, laughing and chatting. You can choose to sit under a shady umbrella or bask in the sun. The food is always fresh and delicious, no matter if I’m enjoying breakfast or dinner. It never takes long to arrive, and the quality is consistently top-notch. The service is fantastic: I’ve never had to wait, and the staff make you feel like family. It’s so refreshing to visit a place where guests are treated like friends. Can’t wait to come back!

Food is really just OK. There are much better options if you want Mexican food. Three stars are thanks to our very friendly waitress and the good live music on the patio. The guacamole was mushy and flavorless and I wasn’t impressed by my taco entree. Good spot to sit and enjoy the ambiance over drinks but I definitely won’t be returning for the food.

Great breakfast with a Gulfview. It is one of the best places for breakfast on AMI. The bloody mary uses a nice mix that compliments the Mexican dishes. Their margaritas are just alcohol and lime juice, nothing artificial. Lunch and dinners are also great. Just a great restaurant!

One of my favorite spots on the island is this place, especially when Olivia is our server. Whenever I'm in a bad mood, she knows just how to lift my spirits; I can't stand boring servers. The street tacos are fantastic, and the nachos are a must. The margaritas are always strong and never watered down. Thanks for the great experience, Olivia and team!

Went to the Wicked Cantina at Bradenton Beach Sunday with another couple and the food was very good especially the queso and the chips . The drinks were also good definitely not watered down which brings me to the only downfall the service was a bit off . If I knew it was a costume party I would have dressed for the occasion nor were we looking for a dinner show
Our server Olivia was wearing a fake mustache and funny glasses if we had kids with us to lighten the mood I could understand
But it would seem she was enjoying the cocktails too
Sadly I don’t see us putting this on our top ten to entertain friends or family . If someone is trying to get their big break in acting a restaurant isn’t the venue to do so

The food here is so fresh and delicious and our server was delightful (I wish I had got his name). Everyone raved that the tortillas tasted fresh made and the margaritas aren't made with nasty premix like most other places. 10/10!!
The hostess made our experience less than great. We had a large party but told her we were willing to split up, as needed. She said 45 minutes, which was totally fine. However we ended up waiting an hour and a half, just for her to put us at two separate tables that was one chair short. We had to squeeze on one side because she told us we couldn't put the seat we needed on the end. I understand not putting a seat in a walkway but why seat us there?? It was really frustrating - especially after watching her put cute boys who would flirt with her first on the waitlist above others who were waiting. Dinner was great but not sure if it was worth it to deal with that.

We had a very good experience here last month. A friendly hostess seated us quickly at a high top table. The waitress followed soon over with water. Loved the atmosphere as well - very much a fun, relaxed vibe.
Overall, the food was good. Not great, but good. Chips were brought out first, which was nice because we were starving. This was followed by our chicken nachos appetizer. They had great flavor and were decently sized. Might have been a little light on the amount of toppings, but tasted good.
Our two entrees were the chicken enchiladas and the Cowboy Brisket tacos. Enchiladas were delicious! Would definitely order them again. I honestly couldn't eat my half of the Cowboy Brisket tacos. I'm not sure if there was a mixup and we accidentally were served the spicier version, but they were too hot for me (and I can handle some heat). Husband ate them, but did not love them either. No drinks ordered.
Overall, a good experience if you are looking for Mexican food. We would return and try new options.
