“Mexican Pizza... nuff said!“

“Great food and service. We’ll come again when we are back in the area.“

“The best authentic Mexican food I’ve ever had, I’m here on vacation from Texas decided to stop in and try the Birria Tacos, the absolute best ever! Big portion of food and for an amazing price! Salsa is amazing, rice delicious, all of it is great! If you are in the area I’d stop in and try it!“

“Great place! J was awesome !“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“75th Trip-Around-the-Sun for my husband. Party of 7 seated to celebrate. Our locals enjoyed the house margaritas and the menu selections, and our out-of-town family was impressed the location, food and service.“

“I have heard nothing but great, amazing things about this place!!!“

“Had their brisket tacos tonight and I was amazed! im diary free and had to take off the cheese and aioli sauce but the meat was so tasty it didnt need it! Will go where they go for sure!“

“Family-owned and operated, which is ALWAYS a bonus, because you know they care about the food they make. A couple unique options for vegetarians as well, which we really appreciate. Salsa for chips felt very fresh, and I even think the corn tortillas are homemade, too, not sure, but they were good.“

“Amazing!! Best Mexican food around and loved the casita bowls!“

“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!“

“Pretty basic inside, but I can appreciate the effort to make the food as affordable and tasty as possible. The young girl at the front counter was friendly and helpful with my order.

Not much of a crowd, but I came in for takeout around 930pm on a Monday. They are open til 1am each night which is a nice bonus!

Tried their steak tacos and a quesadilla and thought both were pretty great!

We will add them to the rotation! I now frequent at least twice a month, Taco Salad is also crazy good!

“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 !“

“We got a party platter for the holidays and it was amazing! Thank you so much“

“This is probably the only Mexican place in St. Pete/Tampa I've found in two years that's acceptable. Being from southern Cali, definitely have high standards, but we have scoured St. Pete and Tampa for AGES trying to find a Mexican restaurant where the food is actually flavored well and correctly, and literally this wk went here and it was actually good. I wish the birria had been spicy, but ah well-the flavor was definitely there. We also got the flautas. The side green sauce was unimpressive and sort of watery :/ but the side orange sauce was awesome and flavorful. I would actually come back to eat here. The pricing of some items such as carne asada seemed high(so we didn't get that), but the birria and flautas were fair enough for the area.“

“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!!!!“

“** Edit to previous review.
I gave you 5 stars for food and 5 stars for service. No I didn’t follow suit on atmosphere, but you’re right- 2-Stars overall was not reflective of food/service- sorry. I don’t come for your pure margaritas or the $1.75 beer, but I’m sure the 39+hrs of happy hour makes many happy. I do spend ample $ on food/booze though. I did changed the overall star rating. I must be the only one that doesn’t like to hear myself chew. It was SO quiet in the restaurant …. ? Still love your food and bartenders…

Original post…
Love your food, ❤ your bartenders but why do away with the atmospheric piece? No live music and little to nothing over the interior sound system. I could hear myself chew! Slippery slope.“

“Their food are mad delicious. I especially love their quesadillas gordita and torta. It now my to go to place because their staff are very nice and welcoming and their food are very delicious to eat I would order 3 order of their food because their meats and chicken tasted a good rich flavor meat.“

“What a delight! *Good Food *Exceptionally well decorated *Comfortable Newly upholstered Beautiful Seating Kept so refreshingly Clean Value and fair pricing Good Service Professionals Can't wait to return!! Ty Staff Of El Jalisco“

“I have had there food 😋 several times now, and for the price you receive alot of food. There tacos 🌮 are very good, delicious, and really big compared to other places I have eaten at, there burgers 🍔 are to die for it's extreme delicious and man when I say there huge there huge it's bigger and taller than two McDonald's double quarter lbs on top of each other I had my with eggs, bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato, bread onions rings the works the photo on the menu doesn't do it justice I had to cut it to eat it's that big and tall. Like I said you get so much food for what your paying just didn't go to late because it gets packed but I do have to say there service is very good 👌 😎 👍.“

“Great service. Delicious food!“

“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 had classic beef tacos, beans and rice, all very delicious! But I especially loved that they keep fresh Salas in squeeze tubes (like ketchup tubes) on the table so it's not a hassle to ask for more. Their homemade salsas are SO DELICIOUS! I returned another time because I saw Enchilada Suiza on the menu..A delicious creamy and cheesy enchilada I haven't seen on the menu of other Mexican Restaurants. It was SO DELICIOUS, I definitely will return to have it again! The waitress is very nice and attentive. The ladies room was very clean, the atmosphere is cozy and relaxing. It's also across the street from the Laundromat I use which is very convenient.“
