50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Clearwater Beach

“Great food best taco I’ve had in a while even got the shirt“

“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!“

“Excellent nachos, margaritas and service. Loved it.“

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

“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.“

“Consistent Mexican food @ Casa Tina. One day I may branch out and try something besides the Molé. 😉 And as always, the Caipirinha rocks. 😋 Thank You. Have a Delicious New Year 2026!“

“🌮 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!“

“I cannot give El Buen Gusto enough stars. A buddy told me I had to go try this truck. Myself, being partytaco, naturally must go find the best tacos. Look no further, my friends. Hands down the best food truck I've found in the area when it comes to mexican food. Super authentic, flavors are incredible, red salsa is ACTUALLY fire, I always get an extra and drink it straight lol. Everything I've tried has been so dang good. I dream about this place. Get the gorditas and carnitas!“

“We visited Joven’s yesterday and honestly, it was 10/10 across the board. The carne asada fries were incredible and the horchata was some of the best I’ve ever had. But the real stars? The rolled chicken tacos were absolutely off the chain! We finished it all off with a fresh churro that was the perfect ending to the meal. Super glad we found this spot—we will definitely be back!“

“This is hands down the best Mexican place in town! We have never had a bad experience here. The food is absolutely fantastic! Can’t say I love it enough!“

“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 !“

“We are not from the area and wanted mexican food close to where we were staying. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the building is older(no fault of the restaurant), but the place itself was very clean. They had multiple TV’s going at once which was distracting. I feel like one in the bar should suffice. The food was good. We can’t say anything bad about that. If you’re okay with a place that isn’t fancy, but has good food then you should be happy here.“

“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 !“

“I love this place!! Second time coming here and just as good as the last. The owner recognized me and my family as soon as we came in even though we’ve only been one other time. They’re super attentive for refilling your drinks and chips+salsa. Take a little bit of time to cook your food but it’s so worth it every time. Great spot“
