Came back to The Spot for lunch and it was a hit for us…read more We had only been once about 5 years ago. Now they use the back room which is bigger to check out and it is a dining area too. The front has a small dining area but you no longer check out there. We ordered 3 sopes. I had one of the three, and ordered one taco. It was so tasty. Also ordered horchata which was also great. Their food was so tasty and we definitely enjoyed it. Four stars just because I wish they ordered shrimp and or fish but the food we received were great and we will def be back sooner. They are located in an older building in construction and the entrance is on the side of it. Don't let that appearance shy you away. Service was excellent, efficient, & friendly.

I stopped by this place for a quick pickup, and let me just say...these were the biggest pupusas…read moreI've ever had. They were absolutely delicious. Thick, hearty, and packed with flavor, they're the kind of pupusas that make you pause after the first bite. Major shoutout for the ample amount of curtido, because they did not skimp like every other restaurant does. It's fresh, tangy, and perfect for the huge pupusas. Exactly how it should be. Period. I didn't get to dine in this time, so I can't speak to the service. There was a bit of wait to get them, but once I got my food, it was immediately clear why-everything tasted fresh and made to order. Totally worth the wait. On top of it all, the prices were extremely reasonable, especially considering the size and quality of the pupusas. You definitely get your money's worth. If you're in Bradenton and craving legit, filling pupusas, Maria's is a must-try!

I know the price of things are crazy but 5.00 for one bottles soda is too much for a flea market. They gave us the hot sauce but left the limes out (bet that saves some money too) ! You get charged .50 cents extra per taco if you want flour tortillas over corn. Meat quality is definitely not what it used to be. If this is your go to at the RED BARN I would go to somewhere else. For a place you wait on yourself, too pricey and mediocre quality.

They also have deals on tuesdays and other days. The carnitas is also worth getting. Sometimes there is a table and some times there is not, but that is ok. Just hop in your car and enjoy the great things there. They also have tamales and tortas, the whole gambit of great taco wagon food. Prices are right, and lovely tortillas. A must stop and try.

We were here for the Cigar Box Music Festival and it seemed a bit chaotic in the seating area…read more There wasn't enough staff and they ran out of certain beers and even Pepsi. How does that happen when you know you have an event like this on a Saturday? We ordered the chips and guacamole, which was a mistake. The chips were way too thick and were stale. The guacamole was bland. I am used to garlic and lime in guacamole and this had none.

Calling in an order for tacos, not previously reviewing the menu wasn't the optimal approach. I…read moreasked for the items to be ready off, met with a grunt and groan but read to me none the less, close to fifteen or more in total. Forgive me if I stumble upon the exact names - the chicken asada, avocado and cambia stuck in my head and upon completion I asked for my total - $25. & change. Seemed kinda pricey and when I got inside my mind was partially absorbed by the cool surf decor and the woman writing checks at the counter who barely raised a brow to my presence. An older fella was in the back preparing - it was Tuesday at noon, a table of clucking hens outside, myself and two additional workers inside. Both visually unhappy bloated people that had an unpleasant stare and aura. My food was doing upon the counter in such a uncared for way that I thought to myself "this can't possibly be mine", it was. On the bright side of matters, the tacos were dense with the assigned ingredients, heavy chicken, fish and avocado to be sure. And remember three stars isn't a bad review, but there was a few things about the place I just didn't like. Walking in, my hopes were high as the building and ramp entrance was adorable, as mentioned, I really liked the interior design - but I must report the lowest grades for staffing - asking for a implement for hot sauce was not easy and seamless - it's a downer feel to what could be and should be good vibrations.

So I saw good reviews and decided to try these tacos, and I was pleasantly surprised. Service was nice, attentive and very friendly. Menu had some no meat options, some fish options and other than tacos options. I got two chicken tacos and one vegetarian. I loved them all, very fresh and made very authentic. Ambiance is lacking unfortunately, it's ok for what it offers but I would prefer to have it be a little nicer inside. It's very simple and very few seating available. Overall great experience for lunch.

Taqueria Alexander is my new go-to place for a quick taco fix. Well, not so quick…read moreactually...because everything here is made fresh to order. So, I give them a call and place the order ahead of time for pick-up. My main obession here is the Tacos Al Pastor, which is marinated pork fried with pinapple. They have a nice table set-up in the front with a covered area. But, it is just too darn hot outside 95% of the year for me to partake in that action. The employees are really nice. If you don't know what to order, just tell them what kind of meat, or non-meat you are interested in and they will whip something up for you.
