We were hungry vacationers in the area and decided to give this restaurant a try based on the location to our hotel. Wow, were we ever happy we did!! I’ll be honest, I was a tad nervous because the menu items were unfamiliar to my husband and I (we’re hillbillies from the mountains of north Georgia 😂). We were greeted by the chefs and they patiently explained their specialities of the evening. My husband decided to play it safe and went with steak tacos but I felt adventurous and decided to try the red snapper Veracruz. Oh. My. Goodness… Mind blown by the deliciousness of this dish!!! The merriment of the flavors were like nothing I’ve ever experienced. Even the rice and salad were so flavorful and complimentary to the snapper. Hubby says his tacos were awesome, I usually try his food too but I was so into mine that I didn’t even care about trying his! 😂 If you have read this long, you probably realize that I’m not much of a “reviewer” but I just had to share what an awesome food experience this was for me. The chefs were friendly, knowledgeable and totally likable and the restaurant was clean. If I’m ever back in the area, I’ll definitely be visiting them again!! PS. I really wish that I had taken a pic of my plate before I dug in, but I was too excited, it looked too delicious!!!

The food amazing! I drive down from Wimauma and did not regret it. My wife and I arrived and were immediately greeted by the nicest lady ever who turned out to be the owner. The food was authentic Mexican and Peruvian cuisine. We will definitely be back for more!!

If you want to expand your palette, this place is outstanding. The Chef waited on us, explain ed the menu, everything can be adjusted to your liking. I had Camarones Roca and my husband had Baja tacos. Best food experience you will ever have. They get at 10+.

Excellent margaritas. Very nice price point.
The great thing is one of the owners is from Mexico the other is from Peru. And the cook also prepared food in Argentina.
We came for a light lunch here and ended up having a big lunch. Definitely will be back!

Tres Baja pescado tacos…fabuloso, delicioso.
I LOVE this place!!! Highly recommend. Tacos are amazing, Camarones el Diabla is my favorite dish but today was a taco lunch day. This is THE place to get super savory and flavorful dishes in Bradenton. Tell Marla that Tomas says hi!!

Here’s a more polished version of your review while keeping it warm and genuine:

Went there last night with my date to grab some street tacos and was warmly greeted by two friendly women, even though we arrived an hour before closing. Our food was made fresh to order, and we enjoyed carne asada, fish, and shrimp tacos—all of which were incredibly delicious and tasted authentically prepared.
