    Very delicious Chorizo burritos!!! Love the hot sauce they have.. Super spicy but damn good!! Tacos were good, but small.. figured it would be a little bigger!

    Huaraches with carnitas!  Eans, mean, lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and onions on top of a piece of masa.

    The store has some excellent finds. The tacos were a little disappointing. Freshly made and quick friendly service but not very flavorful.

    Terrible. Chicken tacos were filled with gristle, skin and bones . Very disappointing.

    This place looks good...at first. But turns out you can do better yourself at home. SAVE YOUR MONEY.

    Very authentic, family owned restaurant AND grocery. Diane M. needs a brain scan, obviously.

    Great service! Simple yet good food. I loved the steak taco more than the others I had. Prices are really good as well.

    Grab a beer or a mexican soda from the cooler and wait for the opportunity to hit the condiment bar for the extras.

    Excited to have found Reyna's Taqueria for lunch. We had a taste for Mexican. Our usual go to spot…read morewas too far in Bradenton - The Spot. We found this place and it was even better. I wanted shrimp which they don't have at The Spot. My husband wanted sopes which are great at both places. He had two steak sopes. I had a shrimp huarache. We both enjoyed our food very much. The person who took our order at the front was nice. They also bring your food to you. They have inside and outside seating. We sat inside. This is inside the Sarasota Commons with Bravo grocery store, a Thai restaurant, Italian cafe, Cassava, a Venezuelan restaurant, a Puerto Rican restaurant, post office, & Hot Bins store.

    The only reason I'm giving this place one star is because the host was nice and the margarita was…read moregood. We came in looking forward to chips, salsa, and tacos, but unfortunately left completely disappointed. We ended up spending about $60 and threw the food away. The chips were much too thick for our liking and were very bland--we actually had to add salt ourselves at the table. The salsa was also disappointing; it was very watery with only a few pieces of chopped tomato. The chicken and steak were very bland and the barbacoa was mostly grease and fat. The photos reflect the food we ended up throwing away before leaving.

    Absolutely delicious and authentic meal! Just what we were looking for when showing our nephew…read morearound the area. We enjoyed queso, guacamole, tacos, enchiladas, chicken mole, and other such dishes. All were so good and almost no leftovers! Our server was attentive and friendly, our glasses were full the whole meal and the food was hot/fresh. And you can't beat the decor and atmosphere - very lively and great for any occasion! Highly recommend giving a try!

Waited for a table about 20 min- which gave us enough time to get some margaritas. We could sit at the bar- or outside...but we snagged two chairs at the bar. Attendee was friendly and made nice drinks. Food was delish. Chips and salsa were freely given- menu says free with all meals. (Someone posted a complaint about being charged)... Anyhow- we enjoyed our meal. Busy place , but food came quickly and we loved our meals. I had the carne asada- waiter said the steak fajitas is a lot of food and I didn't need too much... I ordered it medium rare... and I would say it came medium well- a "little"pink... but more done than expected...it was still good.. I guess I would order it rare. rice and beans were tasty and also came with pico and tortillas. Chili Rellanos with beef had at least two or theee peppers... and stuffed full of beef- had to take half home. The combo plate also was fab. Tamal, tostado and taquito- yum... had to take some home of this too. Happy to have tried this establishment- and will be back.
