Food truck
Kristen H.

This review is for their food truck - the tacos were tasty ... I tried a fish and a chicken BLT... both were very flavorful.. soft corn taco shell Itself was nothing special - grocery store level and didn't taste like it had been warmed in the griddle ... the prices of fish was crispy and crunchy but small for $7... , the BKT chicken taco was $6- $13 for two tacos is pricey in my opinion ... Also- no drinks were available

I was sad after Gyromania left, but I am so happy Bay Vista Taqueria moved in. I've been here so many times that I have lost count at this point. Right when you enter, there is a giant blown up menu is on the wall along with the special of the day. You can order right there and there's fresh salsa on the side: mild, medium, and hot. You get chips with every order and sometimes they can be quite salty. There are about 6 small tables to eat it. My favorite item on the menu is the So-Cal Burrito; "sauteed chile/cilantro/lime marinated angus steak, shoestring french fries, cheddar-jack cheese, salsa fresca, fresh guacamole, and ancho-chile remoulade". The combination of everything in the burrito is just mouth watering. It is a very large burrito at $11.95. My husband and I always get this time and time again. I've called in orders before and had my husband pick them up on the way home from work. One I called my order in to eat there since it does take a little bit of time to prepare, they forgot one of my burritos but was nice enough to give me a discount for the trouble. I will definitely be back here. I love the food here.

Last night, the Bay Vista Taqueria food truck posted up in my neighborhood. The tacos were delicious, but a bit pricey. 2 tacos for $12-$14. But, they were not skimpy on the meat or toppings!! I got 2 chicken tacos and they were very flavorful. Staff were very friendly and quick with orders. I would order from their food truck again!

4 different salsa/sauce choices

I've had this restaurant on my list for quite some time. After reading numerous Yelp reviews I knew I had to give it a try, but unfortunately the food did not meet my expectations today. My friend and I arrived a few minutes after they opened for the day. The service was great and I love a good family owned local business. The owner(I'm assuming) was very nice and he was out wiping down tables and chatting with the customers. I will start with the chips and salsa. I LOVE that they provide a free basket of chips with your order and a nice selection of salsa and sauces to choose from. I love some good chips and salsa! The chips were good but I would've liked them a little warmer and a little less salty (some chips were just covered in salt). The salsa roja was soooo yummy that I could just eat a whole bowl of it! I think that will just be my go-to next time. The salsa verde was very watery and had a strange taste to it... almost too sour maybe? I'm usually a big fan of salsa verde, but this one not so much on the chips(I did put it on my Hawaiian taco which actually enhanced the flavor). Then there were two sauces in squeeze bottles that were thicker and they were both packed with flavor! I ordered a Hawaiian fish taco and a Baja fish taco. The Hawaiian fish taco had a delicious mango salsa on it, but I feel like the overall taco was missing a little flavor to it. Maybe it was the 2 corn tortillas that it was wrapped in so it was a lot of tortilla. The Baja fish taco was ok, but the slaw that it came with was full of so much mayo and it made the crispy fish soggy on one side. Overall, the food this visit was just ok but I WILL be returning to try some of their other menu items and hopefully update my review.

One Hawaiian fish taco and one carne asada taco

I read mixed reviews about this place so I needed to try it for myself. My sister has been going there quite often and she told me it was simply fabulous. All in all, this is a good place and I would go back no doubt m! Me being from Tampa Bay, I was a little skeptical because, let's face it, we have amazing Mexican, Cuban and Spanish food down there. But this place turned out being really tasty. I was surprised at the quality and pretty presentation of the meal. It didn't have quite the feeling of the places I eat at in Tampa but that may be due to a variety of reasons. Usually in Tampa the places have those distinctive smells and sounds and people working there. It feels a little bit more authentic. However this place still can put together a mean taco. This restaurant is located in Webster. It is pretty unassuming from the outside. When you walk in you get greeted quite nicely! You can tell the people like being there and it really has a family feel. They have a nice dining area and also little toy dinosaurs on the fireplace mantle which they encourage children to play with or to take one. I ordered the Hawaiian fish tacos. They have two types of fish tacos one fried and one grilled. I opted for the grilled one. I also ordered a traditional taco with carne asada. My mother ordered the nachos. They have this green salsa there that's really to die for. I think it's the best thing I tasted there. The tacos taste really good when you place the green sauce on them. They also give you complementary chips and limes. You could also grab more salsa at the salsa bar. My Hawaiian fish taco was really good but I felt the need to put more salt on it as I usually do. Once I put the green salsa on it, it really improved the taste. I would suggest making it a bit more juicy if possible. I liked the pieces of mango. The Carne asada taco is usually my favorite type of taco. However in this case I felt like the cheese didn't complement the meat. I don't like the type of cheese that was used in this taco. I prefer no cheese to be honest with you. I don't think it is needed! To make this better I would make the meat a little bit juicier. Also when someone orders the traditional taco I would make sure you put more pickled items on it. I would even double the amount of pickled toppings you put on there. It may need a little bit more spice too. Admittedly there was a section for hot salsa and I did not try it. Upon reflection I should have. I felt like the nachos were good but again the cheese was strong for me. I don't know what type of cheese is used but wasn't my favorite. I did have a couple bites of it and I can see how I would just keep eating and eating them. Nachos are dangerous! So even though the cheese was a bit strong for me I would probably order and eat these in the future! We tried the coleslaw too. I felt it was good but it wasn't overly flavorful. Another suggestion I have is to put the green salsa and the other salsa in plastic squirt bottles right on the table so people don't have to keep getting up to get more salsa. You may want to warm the chips as well. It may add a nice smell to the place too. I wanted to give some helpful suggestions to the owner. I met him and he seems like a great guy. I also met his wife who was working there that day. All in all a great place and I'm proud that this place is in Rochester. Keep up the great work!

Carnitas Americana Tacos

Carnitas Burrito, rice and beans, chips with red and green sauce and red and green salsa.

Always happy to see new Mexican joints in town! Really good food. I had the carnitas burrito and a side of rice and beans. You get free chips with every order and their home made red and green sauce in the squeeze containers (not the salsa) are even better than John's in my opinion. They have Tapatio at all the tables which is a huge plus considering it is the best hot sauce ever made. They take credit cards too which is nice. The only negatives I have about the place is that the burritos are a bit small (see picture). I know authentic Mexican burritos are not very large, but these are not authentic Mexican burritos, they are the the American version of burritos, so they should be gigantic. The seating area is limited and very noisy inside but that's not a huge deal. Also the parking lot is pretty small so if you show up during a rush you might have to find someplace else to park. Other than that, great stuff and I will definitely be back!

Yummy!

When I walked in to the taco place . I was looking for Real Mexican Taqueria. Unfortunately The flavors were bland . I really want this place to be a success but they need to work a little harder on the flavors. I enjoyed their salsa it was very fresh and had great flavors I like the fact that the tortilla was corn. They also make their own hot sauce that was pretty good it could be a little bit hotter but that's just me. I will come back and hoping that they take it up a notch.also I think he could be a little bit more generous with the rice and beans, the rice was really nice and flaky but the beans didn't have enough taste.I plan on trying to squeeze one more time hoping to find that flavor that I love.

Traditional pork on left, Americans chicken on right. Rice and black beans on the side.

This place was sooooo tasty! The menu is simple but still has awesome options. This was our first time so we both just got tacos, but we will be back - definitely! The tacos we had were so delicious and authentic, I can only imagine what the rest of the menu tastes like. Next time we'll definitely try a salad and the fish tacos! Best part is, everything is local and fresh and EXTREMELY reasonably priced. Be sure to get some of the red salsa/sauce in the squeeze bottle!

Mecate Mexican Restaurant - Burrito

Mecate Mexican Restaurant

4.5(17 reviews)

Mecate has become our favorite Mexican restaurant second to Monte Alban in Webster. The waiters are…read morealways friendly. The drinks are delicious and they offer happy hours. As a group, you get two basket of chips and salsa for free. Any additional is $2 per basket after. For drinks we ordered a pink passion, la grandeza margarita, and a frozen house strawberry margarita. For our entree, we ordered enchiladas suizas, fajitas texanas, and a traditional burrito. Everything for the most part was delicious. The areas we thought were lacking were the burrito and beans. The burrito was a bit bland, could use a sauce on top. The refried beans were gross. They tasted like they had some unnecessary spice in there. For my gluten free folks, many of the dishes are made with corn tortillas, so there are options such as enchiladas, fajitas, tacos. However, not safe with those with celiac disease due to cross contamination. Included is some pics from a previous visit.

I had to try Mecate after they opened in Webster, and I'm so glad I did. I used to go to Monte…read moreAlban a lot, but this is now my favorite Mexican restaurant. The interior is decorated with a nice Mexican flair, and there's plenty of seating with both booths and tables. The chips and salsa are so good! They also have a great selection of alcoholic drinks, although there aren't many non-alcoholic options. My friends always enjoy their drinks. One time we visited, they were even passing around samples of margarita ice cream they were testing, which was a fun touch. I always order the birria tacos--they come with rice and refried beans, and they're delicious. I also love that I can usually walk in and get a table right away.
