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!!“

“I'm in love with the tacos!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food and prices are relevant!! Great place to get a quick bite or dinner. Loved the service, Waitresses were lovely and I liked the varieties there is in the menu, definitely recommended!!“

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

“This spot is amazing! Wonderful friendly service. The food was hot, fresh, and tasted great. The steak tacos reminded me of my favorite taqueria as a kid. The quesabirria tacos definitely hit the mark, as well. Most places around here make a bland salsa verde, but theirs was bright and flavorful with a nice spice. Not a single complaint. We will definitely be back.“

“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..“

“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!!“
