    Excellent Mexican food. Sopes!
    Gerardo L.

    The place is 24/7 according to their sign. Excellent food. Tortillas are made to.perfection. Since they are in the middle of the produce market everything is super fresh. BEST CHICHARRON SOPE I EVER HAD IN TAMPA. Certainly not a place for food snobs. You have to.dive into the food experience. This is how we Mesoamericans (Mexico and Central America) eat street foods. It was great!

    One word: Freshness. Situated among the produce stalls, this place is a hidden diamond in the rough. Authentic Mexican. Great tacos! Enchiladas Honduranas are mouth watering good. Salsa roja - muy Caliente.

    This was a very happy rainy day find for lunch attached to the hotel lobby…read more We flew in and arrived at the Water Street Marriott just in time for the rain to start. Arriving hungry, we stopped in here. The decor was well out together with a various arrangement of seating options. They were out of topo chico so opted for a seltzer water. I ordered tacos and elotes both of which came out fast and or so good! My dining companion ordered the Tijuana salad with steak which was massive and came out with a perfectly cooked medium rare flank steak on too. The salad was exactly the Caesar salad twist I expected with the hand prepped original dressing and addition of the elotes on top. Definitely worth a try if you're craving mexican in the area.

    I recently stayed at the Tampa Marriott Water Street for a conference and didn't want to venture…read moretoo far for dinner. Luckily, there are quite a few solid dining options at this property including Lona. When I saw that they had a modern Mexican menu and delicious sounding cocktails, I decided to grab a seat at the bar. The service was quick and the bartender was very friendly, offering suggestions on the menu when I asked. I started with the passion picante cocktail which was like a spicy passionfruit margarita made with Teremana tequila. For my entree, I got the quesabirria with the consommé dipping sauce and it was spectacular. It's only of the most popular dishes on their menu and I can see why. I also tried the cucumber mezcalita which was a great nightcap if you enjoy Mezcal. I was so stuffed after that, but I got a slice of the tres leches cake to-go. It's a gorgeous dessert and I ate it for breakfast the next morning. It was amazing!
