50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Tampa

“It was my First time eating here and it was so good! The portion sizes overall were a great size for the price. Around $55 with Uber eats Texas delivery charges, and driver tip. I had the Birria quesadilla, the large portion of rice, Chips with queso, Tres leches cake, and the Horchata for my drink. I was hungry and I wanted to get the full experience of what the restaurant had to offer. Leftovers are always a bonus! For my first order, I ordered for delivery on Uber Eats. Despite being delivery, Everything was hot, fresh and well packaged. I will say the Birria quesadilla was a little soggy on the bottom, but it tasted fantastic! Some of the best Beria I’ve had. The queso tasted homemade, flavorful, fresh and delicious! The portion of the tortilla chips, took up an entire brown paper bag full! (in my opinion when I order Mexican food for delivery and I see a big brown paper bag stuffed completely full of seasoned tortilla chips, that’s how I know the rest of the food is going to taste amazing!) I love the small detail of the seasoned chips. It’s like putting sprinkles on a cupcake. It’s not needed, but it makes it better. Everything was flavorful and well seasoned. My Birria quesadilla came with small sides of guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo. Even though the food didn’t need it at all and was flavorful and delicious without it. A few small critique I can give is that Tres Leche cake piece that I got was extremely small unfortunately, which I wasn’t expecting. It was only three small bites if that, but it was really delicious! My second critique is, I wish they offered a bigger cup of Horchata like they have the larger option for the Rice. Horchata is one of my favorite drinks, but honestly I can’t complain too much because everything including the Horchata and Tres leches cake was so good! I guess my only complaint is that there wasn’t more Horchata and Tres Leches cake. The slightly soggy texture of the Birria quesadilla I contributed to the fact that it was delivered still hot in a Styrofoam container, & I don’t consider that the restaurants fault. if I was giving a rating I would still give it a 10 out of 10. 100 percent! I will be eating here again, these small critiques that I have would not even change my rating! And I have leftovers so there’s some bonus points!Delicious food with overall large portions for the price!You guys did a great job! Thank you so much for preparing my amazing meal !!🩷 I will tell my friends about this place and bring my family back here to sit at the restaurant next time instead of ordering from Uber Eats for delivery. fantastic food. Highly recommended!“

“Super cool place atmosphere nice bartenders attentive“

“I was craving birria for my Birthday and this place made me very happy. Highly recommend, very very good. The best I tried in Florida 👏“

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

“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 🤌“

“recomiendo comer en los comparres de todo“

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

“I had been meaning to try this place for a while, and I went this week and it did not disappoint. I was greeted immediately and the gentleman behind the counter was so, so kind. I really like how the menu is written on a chalkboard style wall! The food was exceptional. I ordered chips and guacamole and the guacamole comes in a convenient container that you can take home. You get a really generous portion! The chips are also homemade and fresh. I also ordered the burria tacos and they were amazing. I’ll be back very soon and will probably be coming here weekly!“

“Hannah was a great serve and Danny too we got service from both of them! Amazing!“

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

“Stopped here on vacation. Best tacos I’ve ever had.!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

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

“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.“

“Delicious tacos 🌮 and margaritas 🍹!“

“The best tacos HANDS down . The entire experience is amazing from the moment you walk into ANY of their locations - you have to try it to actually know what I'm talking about. You won't regret it.“

“Lili was a perfect waitress and she always talk about her self and I like that and great job lili I always think she will be my waitress thank lili“

“My wife got the Steak Taco Bowl, and she mentioned that it was better than the Taco Bowl she gets on the regular. Service was smooth, in and out type process. They had a wide variety of choices, and being that it was a convenience store it was the best choice for us. One Stop Shop!! Would have added a photo of the meal, but we ate it too fast🗣“

“The pork belly was fantastic. Best burrito I’ve had ever.“

“Great costumer service! food/drinks was a 10/10 and wait time was not long at all, everything came out fresh. definitely recommend :)“

“Some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. The green salsa is the best I’ve had yet. Give this place a chance. It’ll win you over.“

“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“

“Me encantó llegue por una recomendación y no sabia cual plato elegir todo se veía delicioso. Preguntamos y como estábamos indecisos mi esposo y yo, nos complasieron a ambos con el plato de steak y chuleta, arroz, frijoles refritos, tortilla y un agua fresca de tamarindo, si me preguntan como estaba te recomendación 100%%%. Estoy pendiente de volver y si van pregunten por el Antojito Cubano, ese fue mi plato hoy🤩🤩🤩“

“El Nopal, has the best tacos in town they are always fresh, and delicious so if you like tacos you owe it to yourself to try their tacos and I promise you'll be back!“

“Stopped in while on vacation in May. Food was delicious and service was great. Worst part...it's in Tampa and we're not :/ Looking forward to coming back next time we visit Tampa!“

“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!“

“Muy buenos tacos esta vez no me decepcionaron con mis amigos ya que emos pedidos en otras taquerias y nos dan siempre lo incorrecto muchas gracias por alegrarnos la noche“

“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!“

“Todo delicioso. 💯% Recomendado“

“Food was fast and fresh service was great“

“Ethan and Alexa made our birthday celebration memorable with their service and attention to detail.“

“Amazing little spot, ones of the best spots for tacos I know around here! Haven't really dabbled in exploring much but almost all there menu items are gas, and reasonably priced for the quality. Definitely can see this spot becoming a bigger operation soon, even though it's been around the same since I've been going they have a little spot you can sit and eat at now. Great things with this spot and if you can always get a churro. Its a mussst son.“

“What an amazing little food truck !! Got the Sopes Uno pastor an Uno Chorizo it was absolutely amazing definitely in my top 3 for Sopes an ive had 100's always get the same 2 meats. My Co-worker got chicken an pastor tacos an said they were absolutely delicious! Very nice an bilingual served with a smile an i couldn't be happier with the results !! Will definitely come back whenever in the area ! Dont forget the try the Agua Fresca !!!! So refreshing an tasted wonderful as well. Thanks“

“I LOVE this place … by far the best birria tacos I have had in Tampa bay ! And the sopes OMG !!! And the churros !!! I mean everything is delicious !!!! It is a bit expensive but it is totally worth it! One of
My favorite places in town !“

“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.“

“muy rica la comida y la atención ni se diga excelente servicio“

“My daughter found this awesome place ,as we were planning a trip to Tampa for Mother's Day. What a find! Atmosphere was great, service staff was fabulous, and the food unique & delicious! We just went again because we wanted to share the experience with our boys who were visiting. Again , everything was delicious. I had the sweet potato tacos with pomegranate & oh my, soooo good. Cilantro rice & Esquite was delish & drinks were great! The whole family loved it!“

“Nice dining experience. Very casual.“

“We first found this place when looking for a nice restaurant near the Tampa zoo. The first time that we had come here it was absolutely amazing and delicious food. I live an hour and a half away from here, and anytime that I have an excuse to come to Tampa, I suggest that we eat at this restaurant. Today was my second time here, and it was just as good as the first time. The people that I brought along enjoyed their food just as much as I did my first time here. I love the fact that the food is made fresh that day. This restaurant and the food are simply amazing! I highly recommend!“

“I was towing a vehicle out of the parking lot and I seen the taco stand. I went against my better judgment and went. And ordered steak n cheese burrito n damn it was amazing 5 stars thanks for the great food if I’m ever back in that Tampa area, I will definitely stop by and get some more I highly recommend to anybody reading the post to try it you will be amazed the juiciness in the steak w his special seasoning 🔥 trust me the picture proves it all“

“great food, absolutely love it. service ok, but needs improvement; waitresses on a phone in corner of facility, no one comes to check on customer have to wait a while for a waitresses to stop by and ask to get something.... I wish they helped each other and just wait on their customers only (that's what I saw).
Once again food is delicious, I had fish fajita, something they don't have on menu but they made it after I asked.... but it also cost more ($30).
So I ordered fish fajita and coke, it was $38.“

“Very delicious food my first time definitely not my last time there I was very impressed“

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

“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!“
