Honestly a 10 outta 10 all around! Food was some of the best Mexican food we've eaten. The steak was cooked to perfection. The chicken was well seasoned and juicy. The shells were homemade and the best part. Could not give a higher recommendation. Also friendly staff was a pleasure.

The best. Used to come here all the time when I lived in Bradenton, and now that I’ve moved, I still stop by when visiting.

The food is always good. I get the pork tacos with cilantro and onions. I would have given 5 stars but they no longer have the guacamole sauce to put on your food. The guacamole sauce was what set thos place apart from other places that serve tacos in the area.

All the tortills are all made there and are corn and not wheat, so I can easily get good gluten free entrees.

Dietary restrictions: Easy to get gluten free options.

Im a native southern Californian, I grew up eating authentic Mexican food. This was typical of what’s passed off here as the real thing. I ordered the carne asada and it was not seasoned and had the consistency like it had been on the steam table for hours. For a much better experience try The Spot Tacos less than a mile away.

I normally like this place. The chili rellenis are a favorite. Not today. They didn't clean out the seeds in the poblanos. They put tooth pics in which I was unable to see. I nearly injured my mouth when taking a bit of the food because of the unseen toothpicks. The seeds made the poblanos super spicy. It brought tears to my eyes and triggered my sinuses. Whoever did the prep was not aware of customer safety(toothpicks) or concerns (removal of seeds). I love the food at this establishment but will avoid it until tourists are gone.

Vegetarian options: Chili relleanis are one of my favorites. They will accommodate to dietary needs.

Kid-friendliness: I noticed a few young kids so kid friendly.

Best Mexican food! Gorditas, taco salad and a bottle of water for $21. Huge amount of food and hands down the best taco salad I’ve ever had (and I’ve had quite a few ?).
