“Just visiting Clearwater beach and the family wanted Mexican. Found this gem on google. So happy I did. From start to finish the food was outstanding. The simple salsa had some spice with warm freshly made chips. I ordered the carnitas which didn’t disappoint. Perfectly cooked and seasoned pork. Homemade refried beans like a soft spread. Even the simple pico de gallo was well done. Also had a side chile relleno which was soft , tasty and simply made with a verde sauce. Every one of my family loved their dishes. This is clearly a family run place with friendly staff that were very attentive. Finished with a not to miss birthday celebration. Absolutely worth it. Only sadness is not being from here. I would be there every week.“
“I stayed very close to this location and visited this location about four times. The location is clean friendly and has an amazing environment. Each time I ordered beers shrimp tacos and churros. Highly recommend this place thanks for the great service and awesome food. JM Toronto, “
“First time visiting here and we really enjoyed it. I had Wahoo and a Caesar salad and both were good. There is very limited seating, so come early or plan on waiting. We walked from the beach, so you may have a hard time parking too if you try to park in the municipal lot closest to the restaurant.“
“I stopped in for a quick lunch while running errands. Both the service and food were flawless. I got the Fajitas Mixte and they were delicious and cooked perfectly. The portion size was generous so I was able to have a second lunch the next day. I got a Horchata on the way out and it really hit the spot on a hot day.“
“We had at rehearsal dinner at the Marina Cantina and I could not be more pleased with how it turned out. Leading up to the event, we worked with Nina very often and she was extremely communicative and kind. She helped ensure our event was well prepared and it truly was! The food was absolutely delicious, our guests were raving about everything! I even heard a guest say it was the best rehearsal dinner food they have ever had! The servers, bartenders and staff were on their A game and kept the space clean, especially during the meal and dessert transitions. I am so glad we choose the Marina Cantina for our event. 10/10 recommend!!!!!!!Wheelchair accessibility: A guest at our rehearsal dinner was in a wheel chair & had full access to the elevator and had no issues getting around!“
“Quaint little Mexican restaurant. It is a little weird when you first walk in there’s no one to greet you, but someone said sit wherever you like after a little bit. The server came by super quick and got our order in fast. The food came out super quick and they gave us chips and salsa while we waited. The food was very flavorful. I ordered the pollo with mole sauce. I would definitely return!“
“Que delicia!!! The best tacos I've had in the States. Mexican done beautifully. Tacos El Carnal take the simple street taco and elevate it to a level where every taste bud is gently coated in their magic cooking talents. As a fellow (non-Mexican) Latina, places like this one are why I think of Mexican people as being the best cooks in the world.“
“It was pretty good steak was tender. Place was totally dead during lunch. The chips and dip were not good though. Waaaayyyy over cooked chips the dip was cold like strait from the fridge. Not much parking but it wasn't needed bc there was no one there but me.Parking: Small lot“
“Lucked out with the lunch special today and landed on beef stew day. Black beans, yellow rice, potatoes, and sweet delicious plantains came with the meal. Generous portions and fast, friendly service. Well spiced and authentic Cuban cuisine. Fantastico.“
“For what it is it's really good. Precooked food assembled into a burrito, bowl etc. Fast friendly service. Small place but probably most people get food to go. Quick meal where you get to pick your specific ingredients but good tasting.“
“Absolutely fantastic food. They not only made my top food list once, but twice in just one late night delivery order. The Quessabirria Combo was a wonderful experience and the beef was cooked to absolute perfection and came with an array of delicious sauces and dips. That alone made my week, but then I tasted the most perfectly handmade tortilla chips I've ever had in my life. My entire family was thrilled with the white cheese dip and chips and were fighting over the crumbs. Will order again and again.“
“One of my favorite places to get great snacks, good food and delicious horchata.It is sometimes super busy and hard to place and order - but it’s always so worth it and so delicious.Parking: Parking is sometimes super tight due to it busy - but we always park right past next to the church.“
“Just left Grand Hacienda at Tyrone Mall in St Petersburg and was introduced to one of the best meals that is on their special menu introduced today. It is the birria ramen!! absolutely delicious. The flavor is amazing and it has pieces of tender birria beef found in their special tacos. It’s being prepared for a short period of time. Go try it…..you will love it!!“
“We were looking for a restaurant that served fresh ceviche. It just so happened that our phones pointed ? TT+R. We have gone by this restaurant for years. Big mistake. The food is excellent, service with a smile and quick. Reasonable price. Don't let its size discourage you. You'll enjoy the food and service ?.“
“It's hard finding good authentic style tacos in Tampa bay. This place serves high quality Mexican style tacos. I got the lengua, cabeza, el pastor and suadero (which was actually a carnitas). The tortilla to meat ratio is good. I don't feel they held back on meat like a lot of Mexican restaurants do. They definitely filled it up really nice. All were juicy and delicious except for the carnitas which were super fatty and greasy. The tortillas also tasted great. The ambiance had a Mexican style feel to it. Mexican music playing in the background, nicely decorated interior. The staff that took my order were also very nice. Overall I really enjoyed my tacos!“
“We tried this out based on the good reviews, and we were so glad we did! The place was pretty quiet, but the food was excellent and the staff was extremely friendly! We will definitely go back here againUpdate Mar 2024. Food was still good, however the dining area was very dirty. Even the table we used wasn't very clean. There were a few staff members just sitting around chatting, as the restaurant wasn't busy. Maybe they should keep them busy, by having them clean up the place!“
“Been eating here for 20 years, I grew up eating here and now my kids are doing the same. Can’t go wrong with a burger, the gyro or some tacos. I do miss the original fries , but the mozzarella sticks and o-rings are great. Try the Tamales if they have any in stock! They have good portions and keep the place clean. One of the very few places that are open late in town, but with a menu with lots to chose from.“
“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!!!!“
“Got off work and needed a bite. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and the kind girl at the window asked me if I’d like onions and cilantro in it. She said that’s how she gets it. I’m so glad she suggested that because it was excellent! And the hot sauce and fresh pico were a plus. I’ll definitely come here again!“
“Love this Mexican place. It is one of my favorite places to eat Mexican food in Clearwater. The food is great, the staff is super humble, and the drinks are very affordable.The only thing negative I will say is that sometimes the restaurant will allow third-party vendors to come into the restaurant and start selling goods or services. I understand they're trying to help their community, but at the same time, some of us do not want to be bothered while we are dining.I highly recommend this restaurant. One of the best if you're looking for great food in the area.“
“We always make sure to stop at Badfins Food + Brew every time we go to Clearwater. The food is very tasty and love to try many of the different local craft beer selections. Jessica, our server was great, knowledgeable and friendly when we had questions for her. Can’t wait to go back on our next Clearwater vacation. Highly recommend!“
