“We used Manny’s last night for a graduation party. Not only were the tacos and toppings delicious and fresh, the whole experience was super easy and professional. I would highly recommend using them for catering!“

“absolutely awesome food and very authentic. great customer service“

“We had fish tacos and guacamole/chips, white wine and a beer. Very fresh and tasty. Order your tacos and drinks at the counter and when your pager goes off, pick up your plates at the window. Easy. It wasn't busy and I enjoyed a relaxed visit with my lunch companion.“

“Thank you to Nakos Tacos for coming out to our neighborhood for our monthly food truck event! Everyone loved the food and desserts! Also the owner, Jessica Ray, is incredible! Would highly recommend you give them a try or call for your next event!“

“This is a family-run taco truck and the owners couldn't be nicer. They're outside my building weekly on Tuesday evenings, and the food is great! I love the authentic Mexican style chicken tacos (although you can have US style if you prefer). They do all the other usual Mexican food too - I've had burritos before and they were good too. Filling and flavoursome. The hot sauce is HOT but comes on the side. My local go-to - I haven't found anywhere better around here.“

“I love this place. Come here every time I come to lido key area beach. Service is the best and the foood always tastes the best. Highly reccomend the mahi tacos.

Good area to just hangout also and get away from the sun for a bit. Sometime they’ll have live music and that’s always a vibe.

Parking: Park in the big lido parking.“

“We ate here for the first time and it was wonderful! We are from NY amd have eaten at great Mexican places but this was spectacular! Unique and lovingly cooked! Spectacular food and unique pairings! The hibiscus tea was amazing! The chips were just about the best I have ever tasted .. wonderful! Bravo to the Chef! You should be very proud of your self! 👏👏👏“

“Lunch was very good. Yesika (Jessica) was attentive and quick to fix a kitchen mistake. I recommend this if you are looking for something in Sarasota UTC area.“

“Food is SO great all of it! French Fries to die for . Great Bloody Mary's ! For fun , food it's the best“

“Fire Tacos is a taco truck serving to-go: tacos, burritos, quesobirria, and more Mexican cuisine favorites.
I’ve been working on a big commercial job close by and this has turned into our favorite lunch spot. If I lived in the area, they’d know me on a first name basis.
ONE OF THE BEST BURRITOS IVE EVER HAD!!!“

“Food was great the store whatsoever understaffed. I felt bad for the sales, Clark.“

“Bricks BBQ in Sarasota was an unforgettable dining experience! From the moment we walked in, we felt warmly welcomed by our waitress, Sasha. She was incredibly sweet, with a bubbly personality that made us feel right at home. Her recommendations were spot-on, and thanks to her, we had an amazing meal! The food was outstanding—true BBQ perfection. To top it all off, Carmen Forte Music set the perfect atmosphere with some fantastic live music. This place is a gem in Sarasota, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!“

“Rigo Taco Ricos is what happens when a food truck marries a gas station and their child grows up to become a flavor god.

This burrito? Life-changing. I’m not being dramatic — every bite felt like a warm hug from someone who knows how to season meat. The rice was fluffy perfection, the grilled meat had that smoky, just-charred-enough edge, and the cheese melted into the kind of creamy happiness that usually only happens in dreams. The tortilla? Griddled with love. I don’t know what Rigo’s doing back there, but I would 100% attend a TED Talk on it.

And the salsas? The green one flirted with me. The red one slapped me and called me “mijo.” Both were perfect.

Even the chips were next-level — crunchy, golden, and clearly not an afterthought. I would trust these chips with my secrets.

I’ve eaten in fancy restaurants that charged me $38 for a dish with the word “foam” in it — and I’d STILL choose this burrito 10 times out of 10.

So yeah, if you’re anywhere within a tank of gas from this place, go. Go now. Skip your meeting. Fake a flat tire. Tell your boss you’re chasing greatness — because you are.“
