50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Tampa

“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!“

“Super cool place atmosphere nice bartenders attentive“

“Excellent service and the food is always on point!“

“Had the taco trio; pork beef and brisket. “Shia la Beef” (brisket) was my favorite but all were fantastic! Chips and queso were bland to me but I added pico and ate with my tacos. Ah-mazing nonalcoholic horchata and great friendly staff that took care to avoid my avocado allergy. Wonderful 🤌“

“Had a great experience there. Great food and service.“

“If I could give Lauren and this establishment 10+ stars I would. I frequently come back because of the impeccable service I receive here. Consistently. Everytime. The food is awesome too yes, but I specifically made this a weekly staple of mine because of the consistent attention and accommodations I get here. If I want a drink, with extra tajin, spicy and whatever the hell else I ask for. It's done and done extremely well. Highly recommend getting the Blue-fin tuna bowl. Best I've had in awhile. Run here.... and make sure Lauren is your bartender.“

“Best burritos and tacos in the tampa Bay Area highly recommend them.“

“Me encanta este lugar . La comida es maravillosa . El servicio es súper bueno 10/10“

“We live more than an hour away. Got there about 30 min before they closed. (Felt awful hate doing that to restaurants). They were so kind about it. The food was amazing like really amazing. We are vegan and having a taco place this amazing is a blessing we will definitely be back just will make sure to get there earlier. Recommend this place highly.“

“Delicious tacos 🌮 and margaritas 🍹!“

“Taco stand I pass by every day after work. I've been wanting to stop in for a couple of weeks but the timing wasn't right. Today though.... Yummy! Laura tacos - yep, that's the name of the food truck here in Tampa. One of those little places you could easily not know about..... the convenience store it's next to is nothing pretty to look at but their tacos and their other food too is really quite delicious. 6 bucks, two tacos. Is across from the North Tampa Branch library off of Busch and North Boulevard, right near Chamberlain high School (just posted this on Facebook).“

“Excellent service very friendly. Very good food. I have no complaints about the place and its services. Supporting small places in these times of pandemic is the best thing we can do to shape the economy so they don't have to close their doors. Negative people go ahead and keep buying burgers and fries. Have compassion on the merchants and people who put all their effort and money to be able to have their store open, in this Pandemic. By a client with Cholera. It does not determine neither the food nor the place and its service by the hundreds that we like about this place to eat. Excelente servicio muy amable. Muy buena comida. No tengo ninguna queja sobre el lugar y sus servicios. Apoyar a los lugares pequeños en estos tiempos de pandemia es lo mejor que podemos hacer para dar forma a la economía para que no tengan que cerrar sus puertas. Las personas negativas siguen adelante y siguen comprando hamburguesas y papas fritas. Ten compasión de los comerciantes y personas que pusieron todo su esfuerzo y dinero para poder tener su tienda abierta, en esta Pandemia. Por un cliente con cólera. No determina ni la comida ni el lugar y su servicio por los cientos que nos gustan de este lugar para comer.“

“Quesabirria , tacos and agua horchata“

“Clean, quick service, and flavorful food!

The cashier was very personable! He suggested some great options and clearly explained what some of the differences were between their beef options. Many different protein options to choose from. There were even some snack (candy and chip items for purchase near check out). So excited to return to try other menu items!“

“Awesome food, great portions, nice price, and excellent service!!“

“I have been going to Miguelitos for years! Everything is exceptional.. the staff demeanor, drinks, food, atmosphere, everything. I didn’t realize they were a family owned business until recently and that makes me love it even more. 10/10“

“We went with a group of eight and were seated immediately. Not sure if that was a slow day but we were very grateful. The food was outstanding. Everything tasted delicious and fresh, just overall very yummy. It’s a modern take on Mexican food so it’s not classic traditional. They have a very simple menu, which is nice in my opinion. The way that the dishes are constructed in a more modern version is very interesting. I had the Ahi tuna wanton tacos as an appetizer, which was delicious. In our group, some had burritos others had enchiladas and the kids: chicken and cheese quesadillas came out in a cute dinosaur dish. The one thing that I think could be improved on are the alcoholic drinks which tasted overly sweet, we tried the margaritas and two other type of drinks and they were all just a bit off the mark. Also, the fact that they charge you for chips and salsa where other places you receive it complementary also was a little bit of a surprise. Overall, I would return and would recommend to other others.“

“The food was amazing , the tortillas with salsa and guacamole super good. And the taco birrias delicious.“

“One of my favorite taco spots in Orlando is the SoDo location - always solid, and the food hits every time.“

“Camila’s food truck serves the best quesadilla I’ve ever had! The tortilla was perfectly crisp, the cheese melted to perfection, and the fillings were fresh and flavorful. The portion size was generous, and the service was quick and friendly. Definitely a must-try!

Don't forget to have a bite of hot Churros with whip cream, Chocolate sause and Caramel sauce 🤤🫠“

“🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮 es muy ricoooo!!!! 😋“

“Reminds me of hole in the walls in San Diego. Fries could’ve been crispier but I’m happy with the Cali B and plan to come back“

“Don’t judge this book by its cover! The food is great; I, specifically, recommend the breakfast burritos. Delicious and they open at 7a!! We will definitely be going back to try more of their menu. The building and interior are dated but, I promise, it’s a hidden gem!“

“I was in Tampa for the weekend and was looking for a place to eat dinner. So I googled and found this one. Read the reviews and they seem to be good so I decided to try it.

Food was good and placed was decorated nice. We ordered the shrimp tacos and 1 chicken tostada and 1 steak tostada. All of it tasted delicious. I recommend to try it out if you are in area.“

“10 out of 10 Amazing!!! Taco supremes were huge! But my favorite are the QUESABIRRAS sooooo good! 🤤 Pineapple juice fresh & the sauce’s homemade! A MUST STOP IN TAMPA!“

“Food was fast and fresh service was great“

“Authentic street tacos!

If you’re looking for real, authentic tacos, this little taco truck on the side of Hillsborough is the spot! The flavor is super good. You can tell they put a lot of love into their food, and it tastes just like something you’d find in Mexico. The tortillas are fresh (street tacos so the smaller ones) and the prices are great. It’s a nice little spot with a sitting area in the back that is well maintained and some music. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!“

“Food was excellent and well priced. Our server was fantastic and attentive to our needs. Server and manager/owner genuinely thanked us on our way out. Route to the bathroom was a little sketchy (under construction?) but will definitely be back and highly recommended.“

“I love this place! I always get the tacos and the churros.“

“By far, the BEST quesabirria tacos I've had so far, and will most likely not be beat. The crispy fried tortilla, the perfectly cooked beef, and the dipping consomme... Incredible! Will 100% be back and will recommend to anyone. Excellent job! Delicious 😁“
