great gator tacos and awesome rum drinks

My husband, my sister in law and my niece ate there on February 26. Loved the lunch but when my sister in law came back to the condo and was checking the charges on her charge card she discovered that the server put two charges on her charge card. One for their lunch and an additional $56.30. My sister in law called the restaurant and was told they would investigate. She called back today after waiting to hear from them, and the manager gave her excuses as to why the charge was still on her bank account, but said she would call back with an answer. As of now she has not called back. We don't know how often this happens but we recommend you pay in cash and keep your credit card safe from over charges.

Food was pretty good but the service was bad. It was just our server though as I could see the others working hard and doing a good job. I'd go back and just hope I didn't get the same waiter

A must-stop each annual visit. 1/2 price happy hours including specialty drinks! Changes in 1 yr. Decor, tables & chairs, less menu choices. Real nice attentive waitress. Bathroom needs upgrading, deep-cleaning, toilet seat covers & a bit dark. U get it but ownership does. Cigarette smoke drifts inside though?

Not busy at all! Tacos were very good. Waiter tried to be helpful but could not give food advice. Very children friendly. Great if you have a taco need!

Terrace More upscale than downstairs restaurant catering to an older crowd with piano bar. Food is the same as downstairs and the menu we were told is new. Tried the ceviche which was ok and their grouper Reuben sandwich. Ok- nothing noteworthy but at $19 I expected better. Service was friendly and we were not rushed. Drinks were good .

We enjoyed dinner here while on Lido Key. Great atmosphere and live music. Food was OK. Our server was not really attentive.

The WORST customer service!

Jaimee Gray

Amazing food and a wonderful atmosphere. Perfect for a quick weekend sidewalk bite or a romantic date on their 2nd story terrace, under the stars with live music. Love this place

Very nice atmosphere. Was very slow there and that's why we chose to stopped in. Customer service was good. The drinks were a bit pricey but that's to be expected for the area. They're light on the alcohol which is the reason I'm giving a 3 star rating. From what I hear they have great Taco's. Maybe my next visit I'll try them out.

Debbie Turner

Great variety of tacos when you need a quick bite on the circle.

The menu of this establishment was great. The tacos on the other hand were mediocre at best. I love tacos and the amount of different types was ok. For the price, I was amazed in the bad sense. A 4 dollar taco mostly filled with lettuce. Taco Bell has just as good for a lot less. Don’t eat the west coast taco. You’ll thank me.

The bartender was incredible downstairs. The service upstairs left LOT to be desired. Incredibly slow, food for 7 came out in 3 servings and the first was done by the third serving. Had to ask a different server for hot sauce because our server forgot. Zero personality for the first server. Will definately not be back to eat upstairs.

Wife and I went here for the first time on new years day. The place was busy and everything went well. Fish and chips for my wife and fish and shrimp was my choice. Both excellent!

Went there last night with my fiancé. I ordered 3 cheese macaroni with lobster. It was awful. No taste, and it didn’t look like it had any cheese in it. The waiter was completely lost. Would not go back or recommend this place to anyone. Waste of money.
