50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Gibsonton

“They didn’t have caldo de pollo but the beef was on point. Yummy 😋“

“We’ve had several of their menu items and is really an excellent little food truck , she makes excellent tamales, the flautas, burritos and tacos are delicious and really hit the flavors of authentic taqueria food should be! Love it!“

“VERY BAD EXPERIENCE. They deceive people. In the photo they put a combo and then when serving it they say that it doesn't work like that. That's scam. I complained to them and they said it wasn't going like that and that's it. The combo came with Chips and guacamole. I spoke to the manager and she said they were NOT going to give them to me. But I assure you that McDonald's is missing some fries and so they do complain. They made me look bad with an American friend I brought. I'll never go back again.“

“Had Rosita’s for the first time yesterday and it was DELICIOUS!! I had the Ground Beef Bowl. It was seasoned perfectly and the amount was very generous. It reminded me of my Grandma’s cooking. ❤️“

“Great food and customer service“

“I've traveled all over Florida and Marifer's is THE BEST. Sometimes I eat here twice in a weekend...it's that good. I recommend their Carnitas, Pastor and Elote. There are a lot of taco trucks in Gibsonton these days but Marifer's has been here for years.“

“Super cool place atmosphere nice bartenders attentive“

“We stumbled upon this gem for dinner, and wow—what a find! From the moment we walked in, it was clear this team knows exactly what they’re doing in the kitchen. Every dish was bursting with flavor, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. I even had the chance to chat with the owner, who was incredibly warm, friendly, and clearly passionate about his business. 🌮🌯🙌 I love supporting family-owned businesses like this, and this one truly stands out. Highly recommend!“

“Had the taco trio; pork beef and brisket. “Shia la Beef” (brisket) was my favorite but all were fantastic! Chips and queso were bland to me but I added pico and ate with my tacos. Ah-mazing nonalcoholic horchata and great friendly staff that took care to avoid my avocado allergy. Wonderful 🤌“

“Best burritos and tacos in the tampa Bay Area highly recommend them.“

“The food taste amazing and you can tell he works very hard to make this the best tasting tacos and empanadas. Wonderful job!“

“Very delicious tacos. Plenty of food for the money. Definitely will come back.“

“The best tacos HANDS down . The entire experience is amazing from the moment you walk into ANY of their locations - you have to try it to actually know what I'm talking about. You won't regret it.“

“Great service at Nueva Cantina in Brandon! Shawna was amazing—friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. She kept our drinks full, checked on us at the right times, and had such a positive attitude. She really made the experience better. We’ll definitely be back!“

“I’ve heard amazing things about Rene’s Mexican Kitchen, especially regarding the steak and shrimp burritos. After studying the menu for nearly ten minutes, I decided to try the taquito box since I love taquitos. When I arrived, I was greeted by Mr. Rene, who is a legendary figure in the Tampa taco scene, especially for those who remember when the original Taco Bus was in its prime. To my surprise, when I opened my meal, which was freshly cooked on the spot, I found a whole course! My plate was packed with meat, salad, and the taquito rolls underneath. "Wow!" I thought to myself. I certainly didn't expect all of that. I definitely need to return for the burritos, but I was also excited to learn that Mr. Rene offers cooking classes, special dinners, and events. Rene’s Mexican Kitchen is a food truck open all week, and there’s also a storefront that opens on weekdays for lunch.“

“Some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. The green salsa is the best I’ve had yet. Give this place a chance. It’ll win you over.“

“Incredible, made to order food! Highly recommend!“

“5 stars all the way! First time at this establishment tonight…we ordered the fajitas and they were excellent. Even better, they were busy, but everyone inside was smiling and super kind when I picked up the meal. Tipped $20 for such a great experience on a $20.50 ticket. Keep up the good work!“

“Delicious tacos 🌮 and margaritas 🍹!“

“The best tacos HANDS down . The entire experience is amazing from the moment you walk into ANY of their locations - you have to try it to actually know what I'm talking about. You won't regret it.“

“I’ve lived in Tampa for 11 years and one of my only gripes was lack of good BBQ or Mexican food. You’d think it’d be easy to find authentic tacos in Florida but nope, Cuban sandwitches yes, but good ol’ fashioned carne asada tacos….no. And then while picking up my laundry next door, I spotted a Mexican restaurant, in of all places, a convience store. Could it be? It was just so unassuming and low key but the photos on the outside seemed like what I’d get in Texas. So I ordered two tacos and they were delicious! Exactly what I’d been looking for for 11 years and they’re only $3.50 (in 2025 that’s a good price) each. A food truck by my office in downtown charges $5 per taco and they’re nowhere near this. Now the problem I have is how to avoid coming here everyday, ordering 6 tacos each time and gaining 15 pounds.“

“Reminds me of hole in the walls in San Diego. Fries could’ve been crispier but I’m happy with the Cali B and plan to come back“

“Stopped in while on vacation in May. Food was delicious and service was great. Worst part...it's in Tampa and we're not :/ Looking forward to coming back next time we visit Tampa!“

“Quesabirria , tacos and agua horchata“

“A humble fast casual restaurant with really nice staff and the best chicken quesadilla I've ever had! This is no Americanized menu. There are tacos, quesadillas, sopes, and tamales, and each one looks better than the last. You can even have a bowl! The tortilla was crispy, the mozzarella cheese was generous, and the chicken was delicious! The chicken was chopped into small pieces, sauteed in something incredible, and had fresh cilantro sprinkled on top. Whenever I'm close by, I'll be eating here and trying their sopes next!“

“Fantastic food and outstanding service!! Maria was absolutely amazing and I will definitely be back!!“

“Hands down the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. I’ve been eating here since I was 5 and it was a little stand. I live 2 hours away and come back just for this food. I went today and couldn’t find something I wanted on the menu. The owner knew what I was describing, gave me a sample plate to make sure that’s what I wanted, and then perfected my order with the best customer service. If you haven’t eaten here, you’re missing out!“

“great food“

“Great place to go! Shae/Shay showed great and very friendly service! No complaints!“

“I'm from San Diego, California and spend most summers in Mexico with my grandparents and this is the first place that even comes remotely close to Mexican food here in Florida. It was delicious 😋 I wish I could hire them as my personal chef!!!!“

“Un gran lugar de ambiente familiar para compartir sus platos exquisitos los cocteles y su gran atención, siempre que voy admiro la atención de la mesera Mariela y prefiero que ella me atienda por su profesionalismo en atender es cordial amable y confiable, recomiendo este lugar para compartir“

“Maria was a great source of information as I set up catering for my event. She was communicative throughout the process, arrived with the delivery early and set up everything to perfection. The food selection was better even than expected and we had plenty of extra to take home even. Everyone enjoyed the tacos and toppings we very generous. Thank you for the excellent service!“

“I have been going to Miguelitos for years! Everything is exceptional.. the staff demeanor, drinks, food, atmosphere, everything. I didn’t realize they were a family owned business until recently and that makes me love it even more. 10/10“

“Best Mexican food around! Staff is always professional and friendly! Highly recommend!“

“Fast food service didn’t wait to long“

“We were pleasantly surprised to see the open sign and stopped today for lunch. The remodel is simple and clean . I ordered a few different tacos and each more delicious than the last. They need to increase their drinks selection is my only suggestion and add more tablets and chairs. The food was excellent. We will definitely be coming back and hope to get the word out they are open and a great option for lunch .. take out or dine in. You won’t be disappointed.“

“The food is incredible! The queso birra tacos are exquisite ! I highly recommend others to try !“

“Food was delicious as always but this is the first time we received poor service. Our waitress was to busy flirting and on her phone than waiting on our table we had to ask different waiters to help us. Definitely will return but will make sure we have a different waiter.“

“Came here and ordered the birria tacos, elote, a carne asada rice bowl and two of the auga Frescas. By far the best tacos I’ve had at a food truck and the drinks are so fresh and flavorful. My husband got the rice bowl and absolutely loved it, they packed it so full he couldn’t even finish it! The customer service was A1 they are very polite and our food came out in less than 5 minutes!! I highly reccomend Mandos if you’re looking for a great Mexican spot that’ll leave you satisfied every time.“

“Food was excellent and well priced. Our server was fantastic and attentive to our needs. Server and manager/owner genuinely thanked us on our way out. Route to the bathroom was a little sketchy (under construction?) but will definitely be back and highly recommended.“

“There beef soup is fire along with there fresh juices and waters!! customer service top notch as well!!!!“

“Amazing tacos. We love their tacos and the friendly service.“

“Nice dining experience. Very casual.“

“me encantó excelente atención por la señorita que nos atendió muy amable muy rico todo si vuelvo a ir“

“By far, the BEST quesabirria tacos I've had so far, and will most likely not be beat. The crispy fried tortilla, the perfectly cooked beef, and the dipping consomme... Incredible! Will 100% be back and will recommend to anyone. Excellent job! Delicious 😁“
