Lengua tacos
Ange C.

Oh was I so excited to find a place that had lengua (cow tongue) tacos! We came here on Mexican independence day- the ambience was chill, not too loud. The staff were very attentive and generous with the chips and salsa. My partner had a breakfast style meal that came with tortillas, rice, beans, and eggs. He said that this place was one of the best Mexican restaurants he's been to in the Tampa area, more authentic than many others he has been to.

Really solid spot with great service. Our waitress was Sara and she was very nice. It was not crowded and the places were clean. Classic Mexican dishes with typical pricing for the area. I recommend it!

Good service. Nice atmosphere. Tacos muy salados. They sell Miel Hecho en Mexico. Decent cleanliness. Restaurant & bathroom a lil. Dirty. I won't rush back. I'll go across the street instead next time I'm in the area. LaTere$;+a. Cans of soda no fountain.

I just tried their food as take out, but I really enjoyed it. I went in on a Saturday for lunch, and there were only a few customers in the place. The female server brought me a menu, and since they didn't have birria tacos, I went with the shrimp tacos platter, that came with rice and beans. I also ordered a side of the guacamole with chips. The food came up surprisingly quickly and I was on my way. I loved that when they ring up your order, it gives you a QR code on the receipt, so you can pay that way. So convenient! I really liked my tacos which were packed with shrimp, and the green and red hot sauces that came on the side. I will say thought that without adding the hot sauce, the shrimp didn't seem to have much flavor. The rice and beans were fine. I liked the creaminess of the guacamole, but I thought it was a pretty small serving for the cost. Close by my house and very tasty, I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu.

My ground beef enchiladas with green sauce.

It has been difficult finding Mexican food that stands out as better than average. Chiles is definitely a standout. We were greeted & seated & well taken care of. I ordered the 2-enchilada lunch special. My choice was ground beef enchiladas with green sauce. The portion size was plentiful & the enchiladas were tasty & above average. The ground beef had tasty seasoning cooked in it. The green sauce had a small amount of spice to it which was perfect. The rice & beans were fresh & tasty. The only disappointment was the complimentary chips & salsa. The salsa was incredibly bland & dull. Still, Chiles is going to get my repeat business.

This is the best Mexican food I've been able to find in Florida! We are local to Orlando and stumbled across Chiles a couple years ago and it is now a staple when we are in the Tampa area. The service and food have always been incredible, and I can't recommend this place enough!

Burrito Chile Verde.  Very big and loaded with meat and rice & beans.  Excellent choice!

This is my favorite Mexican food restaurant in Tampa. Everything I've tried is very good. I usely get the Tacos Mexicanos and Burrito Ranchero or Burrito Suizo. This time I tried the Burrito Chile Verde. It was excellent! Like the other burritos it was big with generous portions of meat. It will now be added to my rotation of choices. The people working there are always friendly. Just a great hidden gem.

Bistek A La Mexicana
Michelle H.

This restaurant has authentic Mexican food that is reasonably priced and yummy! I had the Bistek a La Mexicana which was sautéed with onions, peppers and jalapeños so it had a little kick. My friend had the Enmoladas and enjoyed the mole. They also bring you complimentary chips and salsa.

Inside the restaurant

Authentic Mexican restaurant right here in Tampa! This is why Yelp is so cool. I would have never gone to this little restaurant without Yelp. Great quality food, and very nice servers. I ordered the Burrito Colorado with pork. The pork was cooked perfectly. It was packed with shredded pork and some rice in a mildly spicy brown sauce. The refried beans and rice on the side were very good too. My wife ordered the chicken enchiladas and she really liked her dinner. My daughter got flautas and hers were excellent as well. This is not American style Mexican. So you won't get as many vegetables in the wraps. What you will get is sauces that have deep flavor, meat that has better flavor, and the sides are better as well. If you've been to Mexico or the southwest you know. I'm so psyched to find this little place. They have several Mexican beers and a few others. Carry out or eat in. You'll be happy IF you like more authentic style Mexican food. It gets busy with locals at dinner. You might want to come a little early. I saw some talking about a sketchy area.... it's in an older Cuban/Mexican area, but it's not sketchy or concerning. The prices are very reasonable too!

Huge meal and super tasty! Fast service is a plus, great location close to the stadium

Shrimp soup and flautas with bean and rice.
Carlos C.

The place is a nice corner spot off Columba across from La Teresita that never disappoints. Service was great along with the atmosphere. Have a nice little bar if you're coming for a quick meal and just to meet some friends. Lots of options to choose from and they all have flavor. Family type of spot.

Angela C.

The best authentic Mexican food in town! This hidden gem is truly a 10/10 all around.

Carnitas Burrito Suizo
Anna P.

A very solid and satisfying little Mexican joint! I got the burrito suizo with carnitas and my partner got the four enchiladas, two being steak and the other two being chicken. The highlight for me was definitely the carnitas-- super tender and juicy, plus the burrito was packed to the brim with it. Everything else was pretty alright, very filling but didn't blow my mind. I appreciate the giant portion sizes for the price. If you're having a craving for either tex mex or authentic mexican, I think this place has got you covered.

We started with nachos for the table with chipotle cheese sauce, pickled red onion, pickled chile, guacamole, queso fresco, and sour cream and they were the perfect way to kick everything off. For mains, we ordered the enchiladas poblanas (chicken, queso fresco, house-made mole, crema, onion, and sesame) and shared the steak Tampiqueña with grilled strip steak, refried beans, and rajas corn enchiladas. The steak was genuinely perfection so flavorful and cooked beautifully. I also treated myself to an espresso martini, which was divine...maybe just a little strong, but in the best way. We had a delicious lunch right before our concert, and the location made it super convenient since it was right where we were staying. Overall, such a great sisters' trip meal, amazing food, fun vibe, and a perfect pre-concert stop. Would 100% recommend!!!

The lobster quesadilla was hands down the best quesadilla I've ever had. I also ordered the crab and shrimp enchiladas and everything was seasoned to perfection. My friend had the enchiladas poblanas and loved hers just as much. The drinks were just as good. I had an espresso martini while my friend ordered a guava margarita. The vibe really made the night. It's the perfect spot for a girls' night really. Our waitress was so sweet and even helped bag our food at the end of the night, which I appreciated. There was an event going on nearby, so valet was super convenient and even discounted since we were dining at the restaurant. Overall, I really loved everything about this place. We're already planning to come back for happy hour.

If you are in Ybor City and trying to enjoy yourself without lighting your wallet on fire, Barrio…read moreTacos is a very smart move. What I appreciated most is the build your own taco option, because it allows you to order exactly what you want without paying for a bunch of filler ingredients you were going to push to the side anyway. When you strip it down to the proteins and toppings you actually like, the cost savings are real. In a place like Ybor, where prices can creep up quickly, that matters. Now, the à la carte menu can feel a little confusing at first glance. It is not the most straightforward ordering system if you are just breezing through. But once someone walks you through it and you understand how to piece your order together, it becomes completely worth it. You end up with exactly what you want, and you are not overpaying for things you did not ask for. The vibe was great. The service was friendly and patient, which helps when you are trying to decode the menu. And the location is ideal. There is an outdoor patio with umbrellas on the sunny side of the street, which gives you options. You can sit in the sun if you want that warm Florida glow, or you can stay shaded if you are protecting your skin but still want to be outside watching the action unfold on the strip. And let's be honest, half the entertainment in Ybor is people watching. Add in the random roosters casually strolling around like they own the neighborhood, and you have a full show with your meal. I loved everything about this place and highly recommend it if you want to save a few bucks on food while still soaking up everything Ybor City has to offer. Good tacos, good vibes, good people watching. Hard to beat that combination.

We're out in Ybor and decided to stop at Barrio. The…read moreambience of the location is really dark. Not much changed from it being the previous locations of other restaurants, but it definitely needs more natural light. It's like eating in a dungeon. The tacos there was a lot going on on the menu and I'm sure this is a niche, but it is not a niche. I am on board with any taco that had ground beef was kind of disgusting the other tacos. You could've made them at home and probably made them better if you're looking for authenticity this is not the place. Service the service was not much to write home about nothing was stellar, but nothing was bad. With all things being equal, this is not a place that I would naturally recommend somebody likes it but it's probably the same people that eat Tijuana flat.
