“Super cool place atmosphere nice bartenders attentive“

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

“The food was great. I ordered the elote corn, quesadilla, AL Pastor and carnitas taco. The food was seasoned well. The location was clean and had some of best Latin/reggae music playing- nice vibe. There was an outside area with life size games with restaurant next door selling refreshers and breakfast food until 2pm -owned by the same owner of El Chapo Tacos.
Love and when I'm back on that side of town- I will surely come again.“

“The delicious food we have been going to eat at Besitos for several years and I think it is excellent and the service is great "José" is always the waiter who serves me and I thought he is the best when it comes to professionalism and service thanks for the excellent service and food“

“Sooo delicious!! Best Birria around!!“

“Acabo de comer en el restaurante mejicano de Guy Fieri, el famoso chef. No le llega ni a los tobillos a Comparres. Lo garantizo!“

“Love this place! Wish I’d found it sooner. I’ve been wanting a cozy, clean Mexican restaurant with good food and friendly service for a while. So glad it is not far from my house.“

“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“

“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.“

“the food was amazing. tortillas were hand made . very delicious and fresh.“

“Great customer service. Excellent food.“

“Where do I start. 10 out of 10. Best tacos I ever had. I was here visiting in Tampa Fl. I tell you the food was Awesome. My family and I tried almost everything on the menu and was pleased. This a must try restaurant. don't be fool by outside appearances“

“Ciccio's group consistently provides the highest quality ingredients and flavor combinations into their restaurants. Taco Dirty is no different in that regard. Compared to other "fast food" operations such as Chipotle, Qdoba, Moe's etc. There is nowhere else chain or family owned that can provide consistent, quick, high quality food for the price anywhere in Florida let alone Tampa. I would reccomend anyone going here or to any of their other restaurants no matter what you are in the mood for, they will deliver!“

“OMG!!...This place was recommended to us and did not disappoint. Salsa and corn chips are so good. Crab enchiladas were amazing. Service was also amazing. Mango ice tea......delicious. Definitely will be back. Wonderful place highly recommend A+“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“food was perfect customer service was also great“

“Great food, great people, and a great owner!!!!“

“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!“

“Nice people, great food, and they have a Tuesday special. I highly recommend the burritos, tacos, elote, and quesadillas. The salsas are great too. We had a crazy good churro dessert plate there too. I believe they are open until 8pm but don't wait til last minute to place your order, be courteous, it's hot in the summer, they are broken down by 8.

Dietary restrictions: They make us dairy free burritos. And it's good!“

“Few things satiate hunger like El Borracho after 5 hours of intense pickle ball. Brady may be considered the GOAT, but he ain’t got nothin on Patricia, the taco GOAT. If you’re looking for fresh, authentic, and delicious food, look no further than El Borracho. Screw Taco Bell, support local??

Dietary restrictions: Dairy free“

“Food was fast and fresh service was great“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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 absolutely love this place! I went once with my friend then had to go alone again! I brought my bf with me the third time. We all LOVED the food and the atmosphere. It reminded so much of whenever I used to get some quick road food in PR. Such a nice place, the $ is worth it, and they serve you pretty fast. I have no complaints, totally recommend!“

“Their chips and guacamole are so good! A great starter. I love to order their carne asada tacos.? + squeeze some lime on top and it’s perfection! My husband ordered a pork tamale and said it was delicious, packed with pork which is amazing and a good size. Their sopes are really good too! If you need a drink suggestion, a classic choice is the horchata. This spot is great for takeout or to dine in. Casual dining and food comes out pretty quick.“

“4 stars for the food being good but the server was extremely money grabby. We asked for water and she brought out water bottles that we were charged for, and then she also asked if beans and rice were ok with our entrees only to find out when the checks came that that was $4 extra per person.

They also fully discontinued the soy vegetarian option but it’s still on the menu“

“Comida fresca del día muy buena atención al cliente“

“Delicious! Best tacos I've ever had from a food truck. Maybe the best tacos I've ever had... Had five tacos and it was plenty filling but wanted to keep eating! I'll definitely be back to try some more of the menu. Customer service was great. And very quick. I think it was less than 5 minutes and I had my tacos in hand. Next time I'm looking forward to trying the steak dish.“

“Muy recomendado! Todo fresco y delicioso. Me encantó el Mango Jones.“

“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.“

“We just went for the first time tonight! The staff was so sweet and the food was absolutely amazing!!! We will definitely be coming back!!! Thank you so much!“

“the Armenia location is always on point, however I went to their Fiesta plaza location and was disappointed. they didn't give me the consume (dipping juice) with my quesabirria tacos or birria quesadilla. :(. I was highly disappointed when I got home all the way in south st pete!“

“Rolled up on a Friday at lunch to grab some tacos. Employee was definitely about business over friendliness. My order took about ten minutes. Price was decent. Food was as expected. I won't say it is the best I have had, but the tacos and quesadilla were both worthy of their namesake. Everything was wrapped up nicely. Check them out if you are in the neighborhood.“

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

“Buena Atención,la comida calienta y muy sabrosa. Gracias ☺️“

“Nice dining experience. Very casual.“

“I wen to the restaurant on Oct 5. A sign on the door read "closed til firther notice"Why r u closed til further notice? Best Mexican food I have eaten here?“

“Best Mexican in Tampa!! Take out service is super quick and food is always the best quality. The queso with beef in it and the beef flautas are AMAZING. I get takeout from here probably every 2 weeks and have NEVER been disappointed. The beef flautas are made with corn tortillas so i can enjoy them as a gluten free girl! Love this place.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options“

“Excellent authentic food and great prices! The pork and chicken tacos are a new favorite. Well done, team!“

“My five stars is for the steak tacos, I've been to many taquerias and many lack texture on the meat, some don't even feel like real meat. The seasoning was spot not too salty the steak was actually a delight to chew. It was also not too oily and the tortillas had the perfect softness. I was very impressed and I will be coming back?“

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

“Best place for happy hour and downtime with the girls. Nice atmosphere super awsome staff and the food is excellent. The price is good for the amount of food. Parking is plentiful they even have outside dinning at least when the weather permits lol the Florida heat can be unbearable at times but I love this place. Everytime I'm in town from work I call up bestfriend and we make our way to this place here. Definitely have to try there house margarita it's the best ??“
