    The guy playing was hilariously humorous he played great. The food was fine. Service was wonderful from Lars! Go you will be happy you went.

    Shrimp appetizer

    We ended up here on a whim. We were checking out the new "downtown market" and there wasn't much to eat at it so we saw this was walking distance and decided to check it out! Really glad we did! The prices were great, the food we ordered was well done. I really liked the fish sandwich. The tacos were just okay. Drinks are great price. We got there just before lunch but most of the tables shortly filled up and they had a live performance going. It was really nice! Their indoor seating is really small so if you don't like eating outdoors, it's probably not the place for you, but it's well shaded, and they do have fans/heaters.

    After 10pm food menu. Live music tonight :)

    Visited in April while the fair was going on next door. Lived the live music. Patrons and bartenders were friendly. Awesome happy hour. Tasty food. Definitely will be back. Oh and hypnotiq freeze pops for a few dollars Happy hour after 10 had $5 margaritas, $5 wells, $5 cheeseburger (yummy), oysters, wings (tasty) and clam strips. Live music every night. How cool is that :) Oh and they sell t shirts for $20. I got moister than an oyster and my bf got go shuck yourself.

    This place is so good. I love the fried calamari and the margaritas. The atmosphere is great, the service is fantastic. Christopher is hands down the best, I've never had such perfect service to where I am not actually complaining about something. (I'm hard to please) lol I give this place a 10/10 you must stop in.

    Don't order the fried oysters unless you want 85% batter Terrible Complained to the server but she did nothing about it. Fish dip was okay but nothing special Didn't get hot sauce and plates as requested. Won't be back, ever!

    Bison burger, rice & beans, grouper bites - all perfectly done!
    William H.

    Not a foodie paradise but extremely well done executed menu an great FLorida draft beer menu. Grouper bites were crisp on outside, juicy on the side- just like you want them. Calamari equally perfect. Fish tacos are great and the bison burger cooked to perfect rare order. Rest of the fish items on menu look great.

    Lemon caper grouper dinner

    We were a party of 6 eating around 4pm as we had missed lunch. The food was good but nothing wow'ed me. They do have a happy hour menu but it wasn't given when you sit down so you have to ask them to tell you what is on the happy hour menu. My dinner the grouper came out about 10 min after everyone else had their food and they didn't really address the issue. If you're in the area looking for seafood it's worth giving it a try as long as you have the right expectations.

    Fish and chips lunch special

    Stopped in around 2:30, starving from hurricane cleanup. Sat at the bar. Fans are very helpful in the outdoor area. Huge menu. Lots of lunch specials. Fish and chips and the hogfish sandwich with fries. Delicious! Staff were super friendly. Lots of free parking available.

    Checking my old review, I have been visiting Don Taco for over twelve years! Over the years they…read morehave expanded from a four-tables set up to one with an outdoor patio area, and now finally moved across the street to become a full service restaurant with a restroom. They still keep the colorful decor they used to have in the old place, a little kitschy but charming nonetheless. The menu has really expanded. Needless to say, $1 taco days are long gone. They do still have $2 tacos, on Tuesday and take out only. (Curiously, we felt that if they had allowed dine in, we would have ordered drinks and maybe some appetizers and other stuff and they would have made more money off us.). Otherwise, the tacos are like $5 each, and they do have a lot of unusual varieties if you want to try something beyond the regular chicken, al pastor and chorizo. Another thing I missed is they used to have a condiment bar with like eight different types of salsa. Now they serve the varieties to you along with some tortilla strips, so you can get a taste of six varieties, and ask them for more of your favorites. Still a great place for authentic Mexican food.

    I've only had takeout from Don Taco but it's been excellent every time! I am a native Texan and…read morehave lived in Tarpon for over 30 years. I know a thing or two about good, no GREAT Mexican food and this IS the only place I would recommend for authentic, super flavorful Mexican food in the upper Pinellas area. I especially love their Tacos, all of them. But if you have never tried the Birria Tacos before, try theirs. EXCELLENT Take it for me a native Texan that is very picky about what Tex-Mex food should taste like. And they have excellent presentation.

    My husband and I discovered this wonderful family run restaurant almost a year ago. After moving to…read moreFlorida from California, we missed the abundance of good authentic affordable Mexican food. While friends were visiting, I found Papasitos on Yelp and thought we could give it a try. I swear I would never have known this place was there if I didn't have my map app telling me where to turn! It is kind of hidden since it is tucked on the side next to an auto audio shop which is very visible on US Hwy 19. Unfortunately, it is extremely easy to miss this gem of a restaurant and I bet a lot of people drive past it all the time and don't even notice it. On our first visit, we were extremely impressed and surprised at how delicious everything was! We have not only been returning on a regular basis, we have gotten our daughter's family (including my young grandkids who are picky eaters!) hooked on Papasitos too! We all recommend it to anyone we know who wants good Mexican food. Our favorite menu items are the chicken tinga quesadilla (highly recommend it!), pastor taco, blackened shrimp taco, chicken enchiladas and carne asada burrito. Top it off with their freshly made churros - sooo yummy! Hats off to the owners who treat us like family now. A special thanks to their son, Lorenzo, who is the server. He remembers all our orders without us having to say anything. Now that's service! I hope anyone reading my review goes and supports this really great small family business. I guarantee that you'll be hooked on their food once you do!

    Just Wow! Real Mexican cuisine!!! Our first time visiting…read morethis eatery & it was fabulous! We ordered a variety of tacos and burritos and everything was delicious!!! Churros were yummy too! We will be frequenting this restaurant again and again!

    The one positive: our children liked their chicken meal. We wanted to like this place; we pass by…read moreit so often and wanted to try it out. We will not be returning. Husband was irritated there was no paper towels in bathroom, the service was slow even though it was one other diner and us after a small group left shortly after we arrived. While the food was not worthwhile for the husband and I, the bait and switch with the pricing is the most upsetting. We will support local dives and restaurants, but the price on their menu and what the waiter said to us was off about $25 (to be conservative) from what we were charged (not including tax or the tip we left). The receipt photo is attached. The kids meal were listed at $9.95 on their menu (charged $29.10); in which the lady/owner tried to tell me that it's really 13.99 per their payment system and she wrote it on our receipt. We were charged for 3 fountain drinks, and then a large lemonade. We had 1 water, 1 regular size ice tea, 1 kid size ice tea and 1 kid size lemonade. The waiter told us 2 tacos w/rice and beans would be $10.95. We did ask for some queso, and were given a small gravy bowl of it, but to be charged $9.35! Umm, why is melted cheese $9.35?! The math is not adding up. This is not fine dining-why is the total $104.99? The owner said the chicken is white meat, so the cost reflects that. Ok, but why the bait and switch with the menu price and register price? We understand the need to increase price due to raising cost of goods/food, but let's be honest with our pricing. The meal was not worth it with the little chunks of "white" chicken my husband got. He was livid. I went back to let the lady know that her pricing/ menu is off. She did offer to give us $20 off our next meal. But we don't want it. This will not be a place we are returning to. Thank you, but please take care of your menu, pricing and food quality.

    Wanted to try this place after passing it a few times. Not sure what to expect when we walked into…read morean empty restaurant and only one other table came in while we were eating dinner there. Funky interior. Not an extensive Mexican menu, with burritos, tostados, tamales etc absent from the menu. Food wasn't bad, chips were fresh and the green salsa was good. No diet sodas available. My tacos were good with nice presentation, although I think $.25 as an upcharge for lettuce on the tacos was ridiculous! Corn taco shells tasted homemade and held the tacos well. Enchiladas were unappetizing and just ok.
