50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Safety Harbor

“Went here with some family during a vacay to the area. Service was fantastic, the cocktails were so so good, and the food was amazing. My aunt and I both got the seafood enchilada (I think it was a special) and it was SOO GOOD! The cucumber cooler cocktail I got was just as refreshing as it sounds. The coconut margarita my aunt got was delicious. Back home now in the Midwest and wanted to take the time to leave a review. I’ll be dreaming about that seafood enchilada, lol“

“The service here is absolutely incredible, Lorenzo works hard and has incredible memory! Our first visit was just amazing and our second he not only remembered us but, he also remembered my sisters allergy! The food is easily the best in the county and if I could give more then 5 stars I would! If you haven't been here you are missing out and should visit!“

“I have been enjoying Casa Tina‘s for over 20 years now! My favorite authentic Mexican restaurant! The food is fresh, interesting, and excellent. Hosts Tina, Javier and their gang make it a great time. We love the funky, eclectic vibe as well as the quiet, romantic corners. my favorite dish is Dos Moles,“

“We visited Taco Bus two times while on our Spring Break and it was amazing both times! This was not the first time we have been there and certainly will not be the last time. Besides the delicious food, the customer service is amazing! We are so happy to be able to support local again.“

“La comida es la Mejor del area. Love this food, probably best Mexican in the area“

“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.“

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!!!!!!!“

“Ok I am giving this 5 stars, but I will be 100% honest. I really would give it 4.5 stars. I ordered 4 carnitas tacos with a side of salsa verde. Here's the breakdown:

Customer Service - 9/10, They took care of me and got me in and out quickly. The ordering process was easy.

Selection - 7/10, Not a whole lot of choice, but some people like that. No burritos. That was a bit disappointing, but whatever.

Food quality - 9/10, the carnitas was excellent. Hands down great quality food. The only thing I personally would have done is fry the tortilla just a little more, but different strokes for different folks.

Restaurant Presentation - 6/10, I'm not judging here. I can tell this place is trying to make it in a tough market so I'm always willing to cut slack. However, if it were my place, I would consider cleaning everything to be a top priority. I won't go into detail, because I think it's disrespectful, but there were some things that needed cleaning that anybody could have dealt with. Not dealing with it makes the place look unsafe. I even was thinking about walking away before I purchased my food. Mexican restaurants in Mexico, in my experience, are clean and the folks take pride in a clean restaurant.

Overall - 9/10. I cut a lot of slack on the presentation because you never know people's situation. That being said, despite the excellent food quality, I probably will skip out on going back until the appearance is 100% on point. When people care about the cleanliness, it says they care about me. If anything changes in the hour after I eat this I will update the review.“

“I was on the hunt for a server who wouldn't make me want to pull my hair out and Emma was a total rockstar! She bent over backwards to make sure I had options that fit my super restricted diet. The food arrived faster than you can say 'awesome', tasted incredible and was pure perfection!“

“Chips and queso are the bomb!! Love the hard shell tacos, remember to ask for cheese, lettuce, etc. as they do not automatically include these items. Interior could use some updating but food is worth it. I am addicted!!“

“Yum! Authentic Mexican food! 😋“

“Loved the food, decor, and friendly service. Will return often, I'm sure!“

“Great experience! Service was great, Food is delicious and huge portions.
My wife got the Mocaljete and I got the Texas fajitas. We could have shared and it still would've been plenty of food. Coconut mojito was also really good. Will definitely be back“

“Fantastic Mexican food in the sunshine. Loved it! We’ll be back.“

“I just happened to stumble upon you guys and hands down best Mexican I’ve ever had. The chips are like no other. We even drive back from Bradenton just to eat here again while my sister is in town. The best!“

“Amazing authentic food. A must try. Very fresh food.. we are going to come back for sure..“

“Table of 4 adults, 4 kids loved it. Huuuge portions. Super burrito was the size of a man's arm. Taco was the size of a human though. I did the create-your-own with tamales and a chile relleno, served with rice and refried beans. We were all happy with our food. Before we ordered we were served complementary chips and a thin salsa. Most of us took home half of the plated food in containers.“
