    Tostada's yummy!
    Shannon J.

    Love this place from the minute I walked in, super friendly staff and the decor was really nice too ..they have a really nice menu...lots of choices. Chips and Sauca are not complimentary, Salsa is delish! Guacamole and Chips, amazing..Guacamole is the best I have had! Ordered the Tostada's, they were served with Rice and Beans..the portion was huge and delicious!! Not a fan of the Rice, no flavor..everything else was wonderful...we will be back and highly recommend!

    Amazing authentic Mexican food! Right in the middle of downtown. The vibes were bumping and the line to get in was long. Service was quick and when an order came out wrong, they fixed it fast. We were recommended this place by 2 people before going in and they didn't steer us wrong. The manager was even walking around and checking in on guests. Viva casa Tina!!

    First visit to Casa Tina and we enjoyed it. I will say that the prices here are quite high so not a place I could visit on a regular basis. We ordered lower priced items. We ordered Monterrey Nachos ($13.95) which had black beans, Monterrey Jack & queso fresco cheeses, sour cream and sliced jalapeños. Quesadillas with cheese and a fire roasted salsa for dipping ($10.50) and we ordered American Tacos with Cactus, tomato, lettuce, cheese and sour cream ($16.95). Service is friendly and as attentive as we wanted. The restaurant is decorated for Christmas so it felt nice and festive. You can tell that the restaurant is normally decorated really nice and stylish. The food is tasty and fresh. Definitely a place to consider visiting if you are on the area.

    A Mexican restaurant located in downtown Dunedin, FL. There is seating inside or on the patio. The weather was beautiful so we sat outside. The place was nicely decorated for Christmas. We did not have to wait. Their menu has a big variety/options to choose from. The food was delicious. Our waitress, Paula, was attentive, knowledgeable, and very friendly. The prices were very reasonable for the amount of food we received. I would definitely be visiting again next time I am in town.

    Wow! This place was beyond what I expected. Since the smokehouse we wanted to go to I ended up randomly picking this place. The reviews were mixed but we were starving and figured let's just check it out. Service was absolutely great, waitress was attentive and ensured we were okay the entire time. Their margaritas were delicious even the house one! The mango spicy one was def the fave though. Now the food...ceviche was tasty. The carnitas were so good especially with the rice, beans, onions, and cilantro on corn tortillas. My hubby had the flounder which was delicious! My son had the cheeseburger which he loved. My daughter had grilled chicken with rice and fries and she loved it especially their rice. Overall a great experience. We would recommend if you are in the area. We drove over from Clearwater and it was worth it.

    Molly was simply amazing! She made the whole experience worthwhile. She was attentive and kind. Food was delicious, my flutes were so well seasoned and the food was enough to get me full. I was able to take one back to the hotel to enjoy for dinner later. My pina colada was great not too strong. This is a great spot for lunch as they have amazing lunch specials and or dinner .

    So I came back during the Cinco De Mayo fest they have at Dunedin...And speaking as someone who's eaten here solo a couple of times, I will say a few things. I find the way they serve non-bar solo customers really confusing...You see, if you aren't sitting at the bar and you're at solo seating, you have to physically go to the bar to either get a menu or be served what you want. Not really a problem but the sign that indicates it is a bit vague on that part. I assumed it was in regard to alcoholic drinks, but I guess it's in regard to...Well...Everything. I get why they do that but still, leaving solo customers to fend from themselves is definitely a first. Also, if you're solo, expect service to be slower than if you're in a group even after you establish yourself as a paying customer. Having said that, they're polite when you approach the bar area and the environment is definitely warm and well decorated so I absolutely commend them on that. I do want to try some of their main courses again in-spite of my previous experience, so I look forward to coming back on a later day.

    Fried plantain ice cream, it's delicious!

    Excellent food! Casa Tina is a local favorite and I am so happy to have spent some time here and I cannot wait to come back again!

    Popped by for some snacks and drinks on a hot afternoon. Was bummed they didn't have a happy hour mid afternoon. We got house margs that were strong and good. Service was good. Salsa is unique but good. Guac was good. Skillet cheese had no flavor. A little pricey and not what we are used to. Wish Florida did Mexican better!

    We prefer coming for lunch on weekends because it's less crowded -- especially if you go at 2:30/3. We also enjoy the lunch specials which are available even on weekends between 11-3. Be sure to visit around Christmas or Halloween -- the decor is so nice. I have to say they were quite busy because it's a holiday weekend and the service was excellent. My only complaint is that the steak on my quesadilla was shredded. That's on me for not asking how it was served.

    Arroz Cabezon
    Bennie F.

    If you want to sample some great authentic Mexican food, come here. And come here often to get taste of everything on the menu. I'm going to have to move Casa Tina up to my #1 Mexican restaurant in Pinellas County. Fresh. Home made. Great taste combinations. Authentic meals. Unique décor. Family owned and operated. We got the chips with a trio of salsas; roasted tomato, guacamole and queso fundido. Chips were thinner than most places but could hold up to the chunkiest of salsas. The tomato salsa was chunkier than I am used to, but incredible flavor. It would make a great side salad all by itself. We also got their "3 Amazing Hot Sauces". And they were. One avocado based sauce tasted very fresh, refreshing and green. Another had a smokey taste and the other was a wonderfully hot red sauce. We got the Arroz Cabezon. It was a mix of shredded chicken and pork in a pibil sauce which is made with a mixture of spices and annatto. This could have easily been made with a tomato sauce with chili seasoning. Not here. They went with a traditional Yucatan dish. The pickled red onion topping was an unexpected flavor add. One of the main reasons why this restaurant is now at the top of my Mexican restaurant list is the wide diversity of dishes; Grilled corn, ceviche and smoked salmon nachos. Queso Panela Salad and Posole. Pescado ala Veracruzana. And I've never seen Tacos De Lengua (beef tongue) anywhere. Paula, our server was excellent. She was always there when we needed her. She was knowledgeable about the food and how it is prepared. The décor is varied and incredible. Not the typical stuff on the walls. Chairs were decorated with hand carvings. There are quite a few family photo collages around which really show a sense of family pride in the place.

    Does Casa Tina have a Taco Tuesday special?

    Not that I know of.

    Does Casa Tina still have the acrobatic performers on Sundays?

    Yes they do.

    Can you order dinner at the bar?

    Yes. I've eaten at the bar before

    My mom wears hearing aides and loud restaurants are a problem - Is this a loud restaurant at 7:00 on a Friday night?

    It would be, so probably not a good option for her.

    We have an 8 lb Chihuahua in a soft carry bag. Are you dog friendly with outdoor tables?

    They are not dog friendly. We brought our service dog and they wouldn't let her drink water on their patio. Very disappointing.

    We've tried this place a couple of times now and had overall good experiences…read more The service is good, the servers are friendly and the bar has a nice draft selection. The chicken Marsala needs improvement, the sauce didn't have great flavor and the chicken was not seasoned well. Using large (maybe portobello?) mushrooms provides a weird texture to the dish. On the other hand, when you cut into the Pork Chop, the heavens may part and angels sing. This chop is magnificent!!! We ordered on Wednesday night which offers a special Italian preparation with a tomato reduction sauce. The pork itself is so tender you can cut it with a fork. It melts in your mouth. GO for the pork chop! It's marvelous.

    Context: I'm here in Dunedin to visit my sweet 88 yr old Mom and my dear Brother. Cafe Alfresco has…read morebeen their favorite restaurant for over a decade. My Brother lives in St Pete and takes our Mom to eat there or calls in for take-out at least 2-3 times per month. We arrived tonight (Thursday) around 7:45 PM to bypass the dinner rush. Walking in to be seated, I noticed several empty tables that had not yet been cleared with several people waiting outside to be seated. I was told "there will be at least a 10-15 minute wait, to give my name, and to wait outside." I thought maybe there were enough people waiting already to take up the empty tables, but that wasn't the case. We sat outside in the cold waiting and watching the guy stand at the bar doing nothing to help bus the empty tables, some of which were right by the window. After 15 minutes or more, we were finally called in last walking by the same uncleared tables, led to another table as the table cloth was being placed on it, no menus, no apology for the extra long (unnecessary) wait outside in the cold. When we finally placed our order, we waited some more. Finally our server said "there was a mix up and our order had not gone through." When Mom's favorite seared salmon finally arrived, it was dry and overcooked. I have never written a bad review on Yelp in my life. But, I hated to see my precious Mom & Brother treated this way. Loyal customers should not be taken for granted.
