50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Clearwater Beach

“Food is delicious! This place is a hidden gem. Love the sangria ❤️. We will be back in October!“

“Angel was our waiter, he was great, our good was very good“

“This may be the easiest review ever! This place is my new favorite. I had my birthday dinner here in March and it was probably the best experience I have had with a restaurant and a large party. Everything was perfect, the staff the food the service the ease of everything. I requested the "Party Room" as they call it at the Clearwater location. They let me decorate to my liking and never once were we in need of anything (our party had 20 people) all at the same time their regular restaurant was full on a Saturday night. They offer 2 for 1 drinks during the week 2-6 and let me tell you if you drink sangria the red is delicious, and strong. This place is just so fun, we have a blast no matter if we are here for drinks, dinner or a large party. The staff is attentive, and fun. 5+++ stars, more if I could give it.“

“love this place and the display they did for Dia de los Muertos is absolutely stunning and Dunedin and very beautiful and kid proof believe it or not because my two year old was down there trying to touch one of the boxes and I'm very thankful that it didn't move“

“The food is amazing. The restaurant was clean from behind the counter to the tables. We had a Tostada and a Chimichanga. The food was hot and fresh and served very quickly. The atmosphere is casual and is easy to carry on a normal conversation. I highly recommend the TACO BUS.“

“Today was my 1st time and I promise you not my last. As someone from Mexican descent, I was absolutely in heaven. A little hidden gem. Phenomenal“

“Great place! J was awesome !“

“🌮 Antojitos Donia Chirris – A Hidden Gem in Clearwater! 🌮 If you’re craving authentic Mexican flavors with heart and soul, Antojitos Donia Chirris is the place to be. This cozy little spot may be small in size, but it packs a massive punch when it comes to taste and hospitality. The soup is pure comfort in a bowl, rich, flavorful, and clearly made with love. And the tacos? Out of this world. Each bite bursts with freshness and spice, wrapped in perfectly grilled tortillas that make you want to order seconds (and thirds!). What makes this place truly special is its warm, welcoming vibe. It feels like stepping into a friend’s kitchen where every dish is crafted to delight. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Clearwater, don’t miss this culinary treasure. Btw I do not always find the best tacos around it’s tough so this is so refreshing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend!“

“We absolutely love the food, drinks, and service at this VIP Mexican Restaurant. Especially, the drinks and the service. Gabby is our favorite bartender/host. The atmosphere is pretty awesome too.“

“Do yourself a HUGE favor, walk right past Crabby’s (C- food) and eat at Marina Cantina… get the Cauliflower or Brussel Sprout appetizers. Then Barbacoa nachos or tacos… their margaritas are world class!“

“First time here and I was impressed! Friendly and fast service! Clean and quiet environment! Amazing food and great menu options! Highly recommended!“

“Great al pastor. Reminded me of Guerrero (Mx). Will be back for more! La comida me recuerda a Guerrero. ¡Me hace extrañar a Tecpan! ¡Al Pastor fue increíble!“

“El Buen Gusto is hands-down one of the best food trucks in the area. The food is so delicious — I ordered the quesabirria tacos and they were incredible: packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and you can genuinely taste the care and quality in every bite.

What really makes this place stand out though is the people. The customer service is amazing, and the owners are such a lovely family. Jose’s passion for food is obvious — not just in how he treats customers, but in how good the food tastes. Blanca is an absolute sweetheart, and Claudia has awesome customer service and makes you feel genuinely welcomed from the moment you walk up.

This is definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to, and I’ll be recommending it to everyone.“

“I love this place it is by far my favorite taco spot in the whole Bay Area with fresh tortillas made right in front of you. I will drive out of my way to get these tacos. The staff and location are everything you would expect from a great Mexican restaurant. Don’t forget the salsa in the yellow squeeze bottle!!!!“

“Absolutely the best! from the service to the food! My family and I have been coming here for many, many years!“

“I went here last night and we have a wonderful dinner at a great price and the pinapple water was so good. I have a chimichonga and my daughter had tacos. The chips and sausa was fresh. You have to go here.“

“The tacos are to die for. I mean, it leaves me thinking about tacos even after i jave eaten 4. There is something they put in the taco meat that makes their tacos really stand out. Do yourself a favor and try the chorizo (mild-ish spoce) and carne asada tacos. A must. Al pastor a close 3 rd option.
Best tacos i have ever had! And i have had a lot of tacos!“

“Ate there today and food was fantastic! I had fish Ruben Grilled and I was amazed at how much flavor was in that sandwich.. Going back again for sure. Ask for code for parking lot so u can get more then 30 minutes“

“Absolutely delicious! I ordered the fish burrito with a Watermelon Agua Refresca . The food was super fresh and the flavors were on point. Very good portion and the sauces they give you on the side are hand made yumminess. Both vegetarian and meat eater friendly , I’d 100% recommend this taco spot definitely worth the try !“

“The best Mexican food I could eve wish for. I have eaten at dozens of Mexican restuarants in my vast travels around this state and country, and I must honestly say, that Carmelita's is second to none. Their food is Excellent ! Go there once and you will be hooked. It's that good, I promise !“

“Wow! Really good flavorful authentic Mexican food right around the corner from me! I will be a regular from now on. Very attentive friendly service! Great great great food! Everything was good especially that rice!!!“

“I ordered the enchiladas combo with rice and beans. Two with marinated pork and two with chicken. I was the only one here, so the service was great.\nThe portions were so generous that I could only finish half of it. This is authentic Mexican cuisine! It's my new favorite place. The menu is extensive. \nThis place is way off the beaten path and hardly noticeable as it sits in a small L-shaped space with a few other businesses.“

“This truck has the best food! Delicious tacos and freshly made tortilla chips! This is now my go to for Mexican food! 😋“

“Excellent food, great prices, awesome service! Happy hour 2 for 1 beers and other selections like margaritas and sangrias. The bacon quac was amazing! So fresh and delicious and a great twist on the usual. We had pulled pork tacos and steak enchiladas and wow, they were great and the sides of rice and the refried beans were sooo good!😋 we will definitely be back!“

“A hidden treasure of taste“

“This spot is amazing! Wonderful friendly service. The food was hot, fresh, and tasted great. The steak tacos reminded me of my favorite taqueria as a kid. The quesabirria tacos definitely hit the mark, as well. Most places around here make a bland salsa verde, but theirs was bright and flavorful with a nice spice. Not a single complaint. We will definitely be back.“
