50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Safety Harbor

“Lived here for 4 years and had no idea this was the BEST TACO JOINT around !!!! Bailey was our server, so personable, gave her favorite recommendations and she was not wrong. Their nacho chips are thicker and actually hold what’s on it. I found my new favorite place and can’t wait to go back. Every day is TACO TUESDAY at the Screaming Jalapeño!!“

“Awesome food,and friendly atmosphere“

“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.“

“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!“

“Taco bus is supper bussin! I loved every part of my experience the first time, I had to come back 6 months later. Nothing can top the $5 margs! This will always be my favorite stop when I’m in Florida!“

“🌮 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!“

“The tacos are to die for. I mean, it leaves me thinking about tacos even after i jave eaten 4. There is something they put in the taco meat that makes their tacos really stand out. Do yourself a favor and try the chorizo (mild-ish spoce) and carne asada tacos. A must. Al pastor a close 3 rd option.

The staff and location are everything you would expect from a great Mexican restaurant. Don’t forget the salsa in the yellow squeeze bottle!!!!“

“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 !“

“As authentic as it gets being this far from Mexico. I felt like I was home“

“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!“

“My girlfriend and I were in the mood for some Mexican food and we decided to give Señor Tequila’s a try. We sat at the bar as we were in a little rush. I don’t know about all of you but I can usually tell how good a Mexican restaurant is going to be by the taste of the salsa.

Daniel was our waiter great dude and when he brought out the salsa and warm chips I knew I was going to be happy. But just how happy was fully explained to me by my taste buds. I have never in my life had better salsa, and I’ve eaten some salsa in my life. It was the perfect blend of spices and hotness, it also had a little Smokey flavor. It was so freaking good that I had to order a to go order of it.
I had a super burrito and it was extremely good as well. I loved it had black beans instead of the usual Sysco delivered beans that some other restaurants have. The steak was perfectly good and had that delicious grill flavor.
If you like Mexican, and good Mexican, go to Señor Tequila, I’m definitely going back…as soon as my massive salsa to go container runs out!“

“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!!“

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

“Went to Crazy Burrito. Got a Crazy Burrito. Excellent choice. Combo of meats was flavorful and moist. Fresh ingredients. Pretty large portion, priced about right. Came in at 11:30 and was served very quickly. Can agree about the atmosphere but it didn't take away from my experience.“

“Excellent food, great prices, awesome service! Happy hour 2 for 1 beers and other selections like margaritas and sangrias. The bacon quac was amazing! So fresh and delicious and a great twist on the usual. We had pulled pork tacos and steak enchiladas and wow, they were great and the sides of rice and the refried beans were sooo good!😋 we will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“A hidden treasure of taste“

“this was the best Mexican food I've ever had so delicious 😋 and the drinks were out for f this world definitely will be going back ever other week“
