    Tacos, chips and BOTTLED MEXICAN COKE
    Mia R.

    We ordered UberEats from here after a long night helping out at an event. So grateful this was open and was taking delivery orders because we were starving. We did have a few issues with the uber but not because of the driver, but apparently the area that this business was in had terrible signal so he was experiencing some technical difficulties. We ordered some birria tacos which they were having a special on for BOGO when we ordered. We also got some chips to go with our order. When it got there, the greasy goodness refueled us. I'm not sure if I was super hungry or if it was genuinely really good but overall a good experience. Sometimes greasy food doesn't do so well after delivery but it was good when we got it! The chips seemed a little stale but were still pretty good. Overall, a solid spot to order from but beware of possible delivery delays.

    Taco Tuesday for the win!!! Well worth the money and busy nonstop but food is fresh and prepared swiftly. Indoor and outdoor seating. They have a bar area to sit too. TV's on the wall. Garlic jalapeño sauce is my favorite but all of them are delicious. They actually sell tubes of it online and in store. Vegan options are abundant. They have portabello mushroom tacos for Taco Tuesday and they even carry vegan cheese.

    Great place, enjoyed the feel of this place from the time I walked in, good vibes and great service, we sat at the bar , Brittany served us, she was very pleasant and helpful, the food was very good, Mexican style food with very good taste. I had the shrimp chimichanga, I enjoyed it very much, my friend had the chicken burrito , he said that he liked it also, next time I come back to St. Pete, I will return, I might even bring my wife with me.

    What can I say other than the food was good. Tacos are my go to when trying out a Mexican restaurant for the first time. If they get that right then they got me. Mines were very tasty and I didn't need to add any sauces. Hubby ordered the nachos and that was a super order. Definitely a sharing portion. Will be back and looking forward to trying out other items.

    This is a great Mexican spot, although not authentic, it's a delicious spot. My favorite part is how their basic margarita is better than most, in taste, price, and how strong they are. You really get your bang for your buck here. I've only been here twice and both times ordered the crispy fish tacos. They are delicious and I crave them. I don't even normally order fish tacos, but here they are so good and light. The queso here is delicious too, and there chips and salsa are good too for this being a gringo spot. I also love the outdoor patio that includes half the bar. The music they play here is great, awesome vibes here! Will be back again !

    This was supposed to be the tostada

    Not so great my food was messy thrown like trash and they didn't care.i tried to tell them what had happened but I was not taken seriously.they did nothing about what had happened to me.

    # 2 Tacos Beans and Rice Combo - chicken hard tacos, no onions, no beans
    Cheyenne B.

    The service is always quick, even when there is a line during the lunch rush. The food is always fresh and consistent. My favorite is the #2 combo - 2 tacos with rice and beans. I get chicken hard tacos with no beans. It's the perfect portion for me and flavor. I have also had the taco salad and chips with queso previously and they are good as well. I like the variety of meat options, from traditional Mexican meats to vegan. The mini hot sauce bar is a plus. The added outside seating is a nice plus. Everyone I've brought here loves it! It's my go to Mexican place in St. Pete.

    Taco Tuesday is lit!!! 2.00 Tacos 6.25 Burritos 6.00 house Margaritas with some flavors!!!

    Barbacoa
    Billi B.

    I thought this was one of the funniest names for a restaurant so I thought I'd check it out! Restaurant design is pretty creative I'm not gonna lie. The staff were chill too. The food was alright, maybe for someone who's never been to the west coast, Texas or Mexico they may like it more than me but I thought the tacos were okay. I ordered two barbacoa tacos and two lengua. They come loaded with a lot of other stuff like sour cream and I think corn but I just got the cilantro and onions. First thing I look at when I get tacos is the tortilla. Is it made in house or does it at least taste like it's made in house and sadly it didn't have the appearance or taste of a freshly made taco tortilla. Now the portion size for the prize was a tad expensive in my opinion. The sauces they had on hand were absolutely delicious tho. Full of flavor and they had a good amount of variety.

    Hair coming inside the steak on one side and out the other , DISGUSTING

    Nueva Cantina is my neighborhood Mexican restaurant. The service is quick and the food is…read morescrumptious. My favorite is the burrito (carne asada or chicken) deep friend and topped with cheese. They are the most festive restaurant that comes to mind, and they always have creative drinks to go with the season. If there was a drawback, it would be parking, but I don't think it's bad enough to warrant diminishing the rating. Big shout out to Sheila who has served me and my fiancee a few times. She always takes great care of us, is so funny, and a warm spirit.

    Five stars for the food, four stars for the service…read more We came at around 6 PM on a Saturday, we were one of the only tables there, still the service was extremely slow. Whenever our waitress came by, we essentially had to order everything we could think of because we wouldn't see her again for a while. That meant that we were often without water. However, the food is great so I would still recommend this place as long as you have time to spare. My sister got the secret margarita my husband got a skinny margarita and I got a mango margarita. I wouldn't get the mango margarita again, it was way too sweet. My sister said her secret margarita wasn't too sweet, and my husband's skinny margarita was quite good. We started with the chips and three dip trio. If I'm coming with just the kids and my husband, I would probably stick to the queso only, because my son loved the queso. I found the guacamole just OK, so I wouldn't order it again. I'm not sure if any of us loved the salsa. The chips were pretty good though. My husband loves the Birria taco. Both kids like the quesadillas, but one son really likes the waffle fries so next time we should ask for two cheese quesadillas one with Spanish rice for my younger son and the other with waffle fries for my older son. He wasn't a fan of the chicken nuggets that they come with. We also got the taco platter which came with a choice of four different proteins, you get three tacos each. So we got the beef Barbacoa, the steak, the grilled chicken, and the grilled shrimp. I only tried the steak and the grilled shrimp and both were delicious. The grilled shrimp was a little spicy. We walked out stuffed and brought home five tacos and a ton of chips. I definitely will continue to recommend for the food and we will probably be back as long as we have enough time. They decorate like crazy for each holiday. I really enjoy the decor. Also they have a large parking lot around back so parking is a breeze.

    Would rate this a 4.5 but you can't do half stars…read more Delicious Mexican food, I had the mix & match enchilada dinner, and my husband had the wicked burrito. The mix & match was plentiful and way more than I could eat, the wicked burrito, a tad spicy, but my husband ate every bit of it. Loved the shredded chicken enchilada, seasoned perfectly. Our waitress, Jennie S. was on top of things, coming around often checking on us, very friendly offering suggestions. The establishment looks better on the inside, a little deceiving from the road which I think the sign makes it look a little worn. The inside looks newer & cleaner. Would definitely bring our friends here that love Mexican food, I think this is one of the better establishments around.

    Very fun, large open restaurant. Clean and nice decor…read more Our service was great! Very accommodating, brought another helping of chips & salsa. The salsa was good, the chips were hot. The food, not so great. Nothing special. My honey had Cowboy Brisket tacos with refried beans & Mexican rice. The meat had not much flavor, The Jalapeño slaw was missing the Jalapeño flavor, tasted just like slaw. The rice was dry not much flavor and the refried beans were bland. I had the Mexican Cesar salad with pumpkin seed cilantro dressing. I didn't taste any cilantro. I had a side of shredded chicken that was overloaded with so much granular spice that it tasted powdery. We probably won't come back.

We wanted to eat something that would be filling, comforting, grab a few drinks but not necessarily need a whole sit down experience. So we stumbled upon Casita Taqueria. Thanks to the other awesome reviews, we knew this was the place to go! It literally feels like a casita when you walk in. They have lots of outdoor seating, picnic tables and such. Inside had a bit less seating (especially when it's raining and most of the people want to stay indoors). Either way, we found a table for 5 in no time. The ordering is easy, you go up to the register, order what you want and then they bring the food to you. No servers no waiters just easy. Highly recommend ordering a pitcher of margarita, we got the spicy jalapeño one and it was so refreshing! The food was delicious, freshly made, quick, and perfect for a lunch break. We got the tempeh nachos, rice and beans bowl, chips guac and salsa plus everything else the rest of our table got. We left full and our hearts happy! The ONLY THING I wish I would see was a super spicy house sauce. Which btw, they have a little fridge of their house made sauces for you to grab and enjoy. I just WISH there was a spicy one, the sweet one was pretty good!
