“I was very impressed with the food and service. Lia helped me pick something new off the menu that I've never tried. She was very sweet and was glad to help with a smile. And best of all the food tasted great! I will definitely come back again. Thank you!“

“amazing prices and great food!“

“I always look for a Chipotle when I travel and when I visited Tampa I found this one. I went there with my grandson and his 2 teammates that play for wounded warriors wheelchair rugby. The manager came out and asked if there was anything they could do to make it more accessible and comfortable.“

“We stumbled upon this gem for dinner, and wow—what a find! From the moment we walked in, it was clear this team knows exactly what they’re doing in the kitchen. Every dish was bursting with flavor, and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. I even had the chance to chat with the owner, who was incredibly warm, friendly, and clearly passionate about his business. 🌮🌯🙌 I love supporting family-owned businesses like this, and this one truly stands out. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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).“

“Staff super nice and food is amazing. We love the quesabirrias. Xtreme taco is 10 out of 10. You must try this restaurant.“

“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.“

“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 🍹!“

“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“

“I’ve heard amazing things about Rene’s Mexican Kitchen, especially regarding the steak and shrimp burritos. After studying the menu for nearly ten minutes, I decided to try the taquito box since I love taquitos. When I arrived, I was greeted by Mr. Rene, who is a legendary figure in the Tampa taco scene, especially for those who remember when the original Taco Bus was in its prime. To my surprise, when I opened my meal, which was freshly cooked on the spot, I found a whole course! My plate was packed with meat, salad, and the taquito rolls underneath. "Wow!" I thought to myself. I certainly didn't expect all of that. I definitely need to return for the burritos, but I was also excited to learn that Mr. Rene offers cooking classes, special dinners, and events. Rene’s Mexican Kitchen is a food truck open all week, and there’s also a storefront that opens on weekdays for lunch.“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

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

“The food was great I got the bacon burger and sunrise burger. Most definitely recommend and there drinks 💕“

“Quesabirria , tacos and agua horchata“

“Food was delicious as always but this is the first time we received poor service. Our waitress was to busy flirting and on her phone than waiting on our table we had to ask different waiters to help us. Definitely will return but will make sure we have a different waiter.“

“great food“

“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 🤤🫠“

“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!“

“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!“

“Best Mexican food around! Staff is always professional and friendly! Highly recommend!“

“This food truck has delicious Mexican food. It's located within a gas station so parking is limited and they have 3 wooden benches to sit and eat or wait for your food. There is a 12-15 minute wait to get your food buts it's sooo worth it. Great variety of your traditional food, tacos, quesadillas, flautas, etc. I ordered thre tacos, one with chicken, all pastor and suadero. All were very good!!!“

“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“

“We had a wonderful experience great food the BEST MARGARITAS in the Bay Area. Our server Lou was excellent ask for him.. 10 out of 10“

“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!“

“We were pleasantly surprised to see the open sign and stopped today for lunch. The remodel is simple and clean . I ordered a few different tacos and each more delicious than the last. They need to increase their drinks selection is my only suggestion and add more tablets and chairs. The food was excellent. We will definitely be coming back and hope to get the word out they are open and a great option for lunch .. take out or dine in. You won’t be disappointed.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Came for pre anniversary lunch because why not! We sat outside because the weather was fantastic. Asked our waitress what she recommended… if you want something different and tasteful have the tostones Mexicano. So I ordered them with steak and carnitas. Had blackberry mojito with shot on side!!! My food was AMAZING! I am Latin and I can tell you the food was fresh and made with love. The presentation impeccable! You have to come here and try their delicious food! BTW during Covid sold 2 gallon margarita and they were also delicious!!! Can’t go wrong here!!“

“taqueria es una calidad encantado de comer deliciosos tacos postres calidad de comida todo es requisimo les recomiendo taquería la mexicana la mejor!!!!!...“

“Came here and ordered the birria tacos, elote, a carne asada rice bowl and two of the auga Frescas. By far the best tacos I’ve had at a food truck and the drinks are so fresh and flavorful. My husband got the rice bowl and absolutely loved it, they packed it so full he couldn’t even finish it! The customer service was A1 they are very polite and our food came out in less than 5 minutes!! I highly reccomend Mandos if you’re looking for a great Mexican spot that’ll leave you satisfied every time.“

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

“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.“
