AUTHENTIC, made with love MEXICAN. I had the chicken chimichanga with gooey white sauce poured over It came with a side of garlicky orange rice and a side of lettuce, pico, guacamole and sour cream. The initial offering of chips and salsa was a welcome pre-meal treat. EXCELLENT! What is really cool is that this store has been 5 or 6 different restaurants, sub shops, etc. ALL FAILED. This is a WINNER. The menu is extensive to include an large lunch menu. I will be returning with my wife ASAP!

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 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.

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!

Cinco de Mayo Gem in Trinity: A Must-Try Local Mexican Spot!…read more After wrapping up a fun morning meeting our photographer for a photo shoot of our newest listing, my husband and I decided to celebrate Cinco de Mayo the right way--with an amazing lunch at a fantastic local spot in the Trinity area. Since this was the first time Cinco fell on Taco Tuesday since 2020, I played it safe and made a reservation on OpenTable. Smart move--it was *packed*! If you're a foodie hunting for authentic, flavorful Mexican food with really nice ambience and a welcoming vibe, put this place on your list immediately. You can instantly tell they care about every plate that leaves the kitchen. The house salsa was a standout--thick, rich, and packed with roasted tomato flavor instead of the usual watery stuff. The chips were made in-house and arrived perfectly fresh and warm. We asked for their hot salsa and they delivered with a housemade roasted habanero that brought serious heat! I mixed it with the regular salsa for the perfect balance, while my husband powered through it straight and loved every bite. The $8 house margaritas (normally $10) were the special of the day and excellent --perfectly balanced, not too sweet, not too tart. The bartenders clearly know their craft. For tacos, my husband went with the Oaxaca tacos featuring grilled pineapple (his new favorite) and a Carne Asada that came in a very close second. I ordered the shrimp tacos and the Birria taco. The shrimp came on these housemade, grilled flour tortillas that were crispy, thicker, and absolutely addictive--I'm usually a corn tortilla loyalist, but these changed my mind! The Birria was delicious too (though I did miss having consommé for dipping). Three tacos let you mix and match, which made it easy to try a couple of different options. Even though the restaurant was buzzing, our server (whose name I unfortunately missed--sorry!) and the whole team worked like a well-oiled machine. Food and drinks came out quickly and everyone was genuinely friendly. This is a true locally owned gem. Next time we visit, I'm ordering the flight of four margaritas--something to look forward to! If you're in the Trinity area and love supporting great local restaurants, definitely check this spot out. Let me know if you go--I'd love to hear what you think!

I thought it would be the same as the Hacienda Corralejo in Clearwater, but it isn't. Menu looks the same, but just not as good. I ordered a jalapeño margarita that was good, but not very strong. I also ordered a California burrito and it wasn't very good. I had to order some cheese sauce to put over it, as it was just a dry burrito lying on a plate. On the upside, though, it was manned by a waitress/bartender and a cook and they really did an amazing job. There were 8 in our party and 2 other tables filled up. She kept us in food and booze and we really appreciated her. I loved the restaurant in Clearwater but probably won't drive back up to Tarpon.
