first time here... excellent... not many good Mexican restaurants down here in fort Meyers area... but this one is awesome
A hidden gem. I literally drug my very skeptical husband to this great little place as a nice couple we met highly recommended it to us. Very great option right off the island while most restaurants are closed due to Ian. I never knew it existed when we had our place on FMB. Must try, great service, food was amazing, chips came out hot, guacamole was flavorful and the Birra tacos were very good. Good sized portions, full bar, unique, authentic Mexican food with sauce as hot as...read full review

Takote Authentic Mexican Restaurant is a popular spot for Mexican cuisine in SWFL. The restaurant offers a variety of seating options, from high tops in the front to a laid-back lounge area with TVs and WiFi. A separate hidden bar in the back features entertainment like darts and karaoke. The interior is cleaner and more comfortable than it appears from the street, creating a welcoming atmosphere.
Their signature dish is the birria tacos, which are highly praised, along with fresh shrimp and Mahi Mahi tacos, empanadas, and phenomenal steak. Customers also enjoy house-made chorizo and chips, with the chips made fresh and a favorite part of the meal. The portions are generous, and the food is made fresh to order, with some items like the taquitos occasionally falling short. The drink selection is well-liked, especially the watermelon margaritas and the Dia De Playa coconut margarita. Fun Latin music adds to the lively environment.
Service is friendly, quick, and attentive, with staff checking back on guests. However, customers are advised to ask if their food includes sides, as some main items like burritos and tortas do not come with sides by default. Kids enjoy their quesadillas, and the nachos are a highlight. The restaurant is kid-friendly, wheelchair accessible, and highly recommended for good margs, tacos, and a great dining experience. Despite its unassuming exterior, Takote is a favorite for fresh, delicious Mexican dishes in Fort Myers.
