    Tacos al Pastor Taco
    Andrew S.

    They do a good job here of tacos and other things. Definitely worth a visit. We eat here frequently and the quality is consistent. Their prices have gone up, but so has everything else.

    Carne Asada
    Paulo I.

    The ambiance is great, very pink, kinda makes me feel like I'm entering the fair. The service was friendly and they were patient, since it was our first time we were trying to see which would be the best option, which took some time. I was hungry so I was looking for a good portion of food. $3.50 a taco seems a bit too high a price for a single taco. So I went with a carne asada bowl. I actually really liked my bowl. It was flavorful and very well balanced with protein and rice. However I can't help compare the price and quantity with Chipotle. The food was very tasty and perhaps the next time I go (when I'm not starving) I'll try the tacos and Quesadillas.

    One of our all-time favorite taco spots is this place! I've always loved the pastor tacos, but now they've added quesabirria and queso to the menu, making it even better. Even though we don't dine in often, it's still one of our top spots because it's so conveniently located when driving from St. Pete to Tampa. We order ToGo monthly if not more. Over the years, the original restaurant has expanded and added locations, but the neon pink decor and the recipes still remind me of 2014.

    Al Pastor Bowl

    This spot has a good variety of Mexican food. I ordered the bowl and although the toppings tasted fresh - the meat and rice could've been more seasoned. I'm a big fan of Mexican food and was expecting more flavor and variety of toppings on this bowl. The place was clean, had good Spanish music playing and plenty of parking. It's a cute spot but I think if I return I would come back for the tacos if they have some type of Taco Tuesday special. Tacos are $3.5-$4+ regularly which is a little much for the vibe of this establishment.

    Loli's is the go-to spot in South Tampa for Taco Tuesday. If you buy two tacos, you can get one free with chicken and pastor tacos. It is such a great deal for less than $8.00. It's the best! The food quality is deliciously superb and superior to any competition in the area. The works are very kind, courteous, and pay attention to you when you're speaking. Plenty of seating inside for the whole family and I always enjoy my time eating here. Absolutely love this restaurant and highly recommend a visit if you're nearby!

    Fish Taco & Ribeye Taco: it was ok.
    Robin K.

    I don't quite understand the hoopla surrounding Lolis, the tacos were ok. I am being generous giving it 3 stars. We went to the location on gandy blvd, right next to Rouen Thai. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. Enough parking available. So why 3 stars: taco shells were hard, i prefer softer. There was really no flavor with fish or ribeye taco. It really needed some heat. I had better tacos at this small taco places on Macdill.

    I feel like I see Lolis everywhere now so I figured it is the time to finally try them!! I stopped in later after placing a pick up order over the phone we ordered two carnitas one lenguas and one ribeye also some salsas on the side. 15 minutes and it was ready, when we got back we tried them and I was kinda shocked how they tasted I wasn't a fan. They had flavor but the texture were off. The lengua taco was super tender but no flavor.. I hate to say it but this place isnt for me

    Chicken/green sauce tamale and pork/red sauce tamale. Onion & cilantro added. Scrumptious!

    Loved the upscale Mexican atmosphere of this restaurant. The decor was very nice throughout…read more Depending on your mood, there were many places to dine in the restaurant, from the lounge areas to the main dining room. All was inviting, and a great way to remove yourself from the very busy atmosphere of the Marriott lobby which was crowded. We sat at the bar since we loved to be surrounded by the activity of the place. We started off with their special spicy margarita and ceviche. Loved that it was more Peruvian style, and not the tomato based one. More my preference of the lime taste. Then for dinner my husband had the strip steak, and I had the chicken fajitas. Both were flavorable, especially the sides, especially the corn cake type side, that were served with the strip steak. Both were seasoned well. My husband's flank steak, though delicious, was overcooked. The bar tender was attentive and answered all our questions about the menu, and provided some great suggestion including which entrees were most popular and also her favorites. Definitely will come back. Will also order the carne asada again but make sure to tell the server to cook the steak more medium rare than medium.

I know when I'm eating fake crab verses real. I eat fake all the time on purpose. I would definitely not recommend this place. How can you advertise you have real crab in on your menu and it be imitation! I can get that crap at home. Very disappointed in my dinner I'm a state and town right by the water! Horrible horrible horrible!!!!

We started with chips and salsa which set a great tone, the tortilla chips were perfectly salty and the salsa was solid, no notes there. It was also Taco Tuesday which means one free drink with a taco order, so naturally I had a classic margarita (also solid!) and went with the al pastor tacos because the sweet plantains on top had my name written all over them. Full disclosure: our waitress actually recommended the chicken, carne asada, or birria... so I can't say I wasn't warned lol! The pork did run a little dry, but the flavors were genuinely enjoyable and the authentic corn tortillas were a highlight for me. The yucca fries were a touch dry as well but still decent with the accompanying sauce. My friend also let me try her octopus, not typically my thing, but the flavors were nicely done! Honestly this feels like one of those spots where I just ordered the wrong things for my first visit, which means I have to go back and do it right. The chicken, carne asada, or birria are calling my name next time. Would definitely recommend checking it out, especially if you can catch happy hour!

    If you are in Ybor City and trying to enjoy yourself without lighting your wallet on fire, Barrio…read moreTacos is a very smart move. What I appreciated most is the build your own taco option, because it allows you to order exactly what you want without paying for a bunch of filler ingredients you were going to push to the side anyway. When you strip it down to the proteins and toppings you actually like, the cost savings are real. In a place like Ybor, where prices can creep up quickly, that matters. Now, the à la carte menu can feel a little confusing at first glance. It is not the most straightforward ordering system if you are just breezing through. But once someone walks you through it and you understand how to piece your order together, it becomes completely worth it. You end up with exactly what you want, and you are not overpaying for things you did not ask for. The vibe was great. The service was friendly and patient, which helps when you are trying to decode the menu. And the location is ideal. There is an outdoor patio with umbrellas on the sunny side of the street, which gives you options. You can sit in the sun if you want that warm Florida glow, or you can stay shaded if you are protecting your skin but still want to be outside watching the action unfold on the strip. And let's be honest, half the entertainment in Ybor is people watching. Add in the random roosters casually strolling around like they own the neighborhood, and you have a full show with your meal. I loved everything about this place and highly recommend it if you want to save a few bucks on food while still soaking up everything Ybor City has to offer. Good tacos, good vibes, good people watching. Hard to beat that combination.

They're standard priced. Located right in the heart of Ybor so it's on the way during your bar and club hopping if you need something to soak up the drinks.
