“Great restaurant, Amanda was a wonderful server. She had delicious recommendations. The calamari was too salty but cooked good and the sauce with it was so tasty. Loved the chicken schwarma and lobster ravioli. Decor was beautiful and enjoyed the overall experience. We will be back.“

“Another fantastic lunch at Rika s Tacos; absolutely delicious.“

“Tacos El Fluffy is a staple in our weekly routine—and in our hearts. Our entire team eats there multiple times a week (no exaggeration), and we’re genuinely sad every Monday when we remember they’re closed. That’s how good it is. The food? Incredible. Some of the best, most authentic Latin food in all of Pensacola. Every single item on the menu hits, and it’s always fresh, flavorful, and consistent. What truly sets Tacos El Fluffy apart is the care they show their customers. Our team has a range of dietary needs, and they’ve never once hesitated to accommodate every single one of us—with kindness and zero stress. The owner and staff are gems. They always take care of us like family, and it’s clear they bring that same love and energy to the entire community. We’re lucky to have them just around the corner from our business, and we’ll continue cheering them on as they thrive. 🌮💛“

“We have visited twice. Both times, we had great meals. The wait staff were friendly and efficient. The only thing missing was a feeling of being welcomed when we walk in the door and smiles on the faces of those who work there.“

“Papa Loca is the best baked potato I've ever had in my entire life. I will be dreaming of it until I return. Camilla is an amazing server.“

“My daughter and sister wanted to eat Mexican food on our recent trip to Pensacola. Mariachi’s showed up as the nearest restaurant to us and I’m so glad that it did. My daughter and I had the fajitas for two. It was perfectly seasoned. In fact, that was the best fajitas that I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to travel back to Pensacola to eat there again. I definitely recommend. ❤️“

“The Carne asada tacos and rice and beans are perfect. I look forward to trying other plates here! Will definitely be going back. Very inexpensive and the quality is top notch.“

“Food was suuuuuuper delicious. I got the Al pastor tacos and my daughter got a chicken quesadilla. Food was fresh and packed with FLAVOR!! Great customer service. My daughter said they were very cheerful and friendly. If you’re in the area give them a try I suspect you will not be disappointed.“

“A Huge Thank You to Taco Mama! 🌮💛 As both a teacher and a parent at Gulf Breeze Elementary, I just had to share how touched I was by the generosity of Taco Mama — they provided free lunch for our entire school staff on Monday! It meant the world to all of us. Teaching is a labor of love, and simple acts of kindness like this remind us that our hard work is seen and appreciated. As a parent, it was especially meaningful to know that a local business values the people who care for our children every day. If you’re looking for a place to grab a delicious meal and support a business that gives back to our schools, I highly recommend Taco Mama. Let’s show them some love right back! 🌮🙌 #GratefulTeacher #ProudParent #SupportLocal #TacoMamaLove #CommunityMatters #TeacherAppreciation“

“This is my home away from home! As a recovered alcoholic I never thought I'd be comfortable hanging out in one of my favorite social settings, but at LA Cabaña I'm safe, at home, welcomed and not pressured to drink. I cannot begin to sing enough praises, the people, the food, the atmosphere all of it is awesome! ✌️🤟🍀“

“The food and service are both great here. One of my favorite taco trucks in town“

“Some of the best authentic Mexican street-style tacos I've ever had. They are quick, very affordable, and it's always super fresh – they grill everything on the spot when you order. I'm extremely lucky to work just up the road from these cocineras maravillosas.“

“The chicken quesadilla and sauce with it was sooo good. chips (they make them, was better then anything I've had at a restaurant) and salsa. kids loved the hard and soft tacos. will visit again!“

“The tacos are the best. One of the best menu item is their Hamburger. They have the best Hamburger. Highly recommend.“

“This is the best location!! I sent in an order for takeout. It is located in the building behind Garden, off Jefferson. $71 for chips & guac, crunchwrap, street tacos, and steak bowl, incl tip and taxes. There is so much food -- we will have at least 2 more meals. The truck is right next to an outdoor bar that I cannot wait to visit in person next girls night out.“

“Amazing 🤩 molcajete rocks!!!“

“As native Texans, we know good tacos. Juan's Flying Burrito in Pensacola also knows tacos and happy hour! Whenever we're in town staying at Jackson Street Retreat, you will find us enjoying Taco Tuesday at Juan's Flying Burrito. The street tacos are outstanding, and only $2 each, with several varieties to choose from. They have good queso, too. Juan's has a very good happy-hour margarita, as well as a couple of beer specials. Highly recommend.“

I will be going back to eat here and I suggest you do as well. I went to the one on 12th ave in Pensacola . Just superb! Great food, clean restaurant, and wonderful staff .“

“Never disappointed with a meal from you guys! The best Mexican food I’ve had in the Panhandle. Thanks for everything you do The tacos are amazing and my go-to 💓“

“I will say that I have traveled Many times state side and abroad. Just happened to note the name Cactus Flower- California style.. I'm a native Texan and I know Mexican.. This beats anything I've had in Florida.. almost as good as Dallas.. I highly recommend this. Staff was busy with lunch and attentive.. service was swift, prompt and efficient. I highly recommend this fair for the wholesome food lover in you. My complements to the owners, chef, staff.. my bill was 14.02 I left a 20. Treat the server in your life well.. I'm a Mexican food addict.“

“This is a great place for food and it's located perfectly right outside the mall. Food would almost be a five star, depending on a few things. The freshness of the chips, and trust me you can tell if they were last night's leftovers. And the most important thing the ingredients. My last visit was the best and I will tell you why. The gentleman stirred up ingredients before applying them which means you are getting all the flavors and the freshness of that ingredient. Not the cold, dried top portion, which will always get. This comes with training and experience and will make the difference when comes to them presenting their best product. And its still better than Taco Bell. ?“

“Amazing 🤩 molcajete rocks!!!“

“I drive 30+ minutes out of my way to get this amazing food. Truly amazing owners that are very kind and make the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. My favorites are the asada fries, Birria tacos, Cali burrito, and the tamales are fantastic. This place has been a staple for me and my family for the past three years since I’ve gotten here to Pensacola. I highly recommend to everyone, an absolute 10/10 experience!!“

“Taco salad and fajitas. Both cooked right. Peppers had that charred edge that enhances the sweet. Fried taco salad bowl was a little different but ultimately delicious. Chips served with 3 salsas. Green hot. Red hot. Red medium. All delicious. Service was excellent. I’ll be back.“

“Muy buena tienda. Mucha amavilidad del personal excelente trato y sobre todo los envios de dinero diferentes compañías“

“I love love love this place! Their esquites (corn cups) are so good. But don’t get a small because it is a tiny cup with barely any in it (my mistake). Their jalapeño nachos are good and I highly recommend their delicious watermelon agua fresca ?! I will be editing my review to add more pictures for every time I go- I will be trying something different each time.“

“I love some Mexican 🌮🌮🌯🌯 it soo good great place I will bring somebody this place thank you 10/10“

“Taco Bell is always good!
I ordered Chicken quesadilla. Was Good.

Life hack:

Ask for extra cheese ? and extra meet when ordering.
That will change everything
Try at least once.

*They forget give me souses
Always ask for souses“
