I beg you: come hungry! You're going to want to try everything!…read more I was on my way back to Tampa from Sarasota and decided to stop in. This standalone restaurant is on a busy road, but has plenty of parking and a little lake next to the lot. It's big but cozy, with a fun decor-lots of booths and tables in two different rooms plus a bar to belly up to. My server was sweet and attentive-but didn't hover. She had perfect timing. The complimentary chips were warm and the salsa had just a little kick to it-good combo. I had to order the white queso dip... I mean, who am I if I don't try the queso? It was silky and comforting. I ate every drop. By this time I was full-but I wanted to try more things. I ended up going with the build your own: one taco (really tasty! Simple but oh so good!), one chile relleno (generous serving-lots of meat and cheese/less pepper) and one chicken enchilada Suiza (I think it was dark chicken-but check me on that). This is a lot of food-and you also get two sides! I chose rice and black beans-which were both excellent. The lunch menu has great choices/prices and there's a happy hour from 3-7 (not sure if it applies to the weekend-should have checked-sorry!). The booth was comfy and it wasn't loud in there (except for the folks next to me-who I now know wayyyyy too much about!) I think the ac was out when I was there-or on its last legs. But that's fixable. I'll definitely go back again. I had the house margaritas this time (good! Perfect sweetness levels-lightly strong, if that makes sense) and want to try others on the list. Clean-casual-good service-big menu. Thanks, Poblanos! See you soon!

When we walked in and no one was speaking english, I knew we found the right spot. The lady behind the counter was helpful in assisting us with what to order. We ordered a pastor burrito, quesadilla, and two papusas. I think our order total was around $25 or $30, which is unheard of (especially for us over-orderers). The food was great, while I think the pastor was a little under-seasoned (from what we are used to), overall we very much enjoyed everything we ordered. We will definitely be returning!

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.

Came back to The Spot for lunch and it was a hit for us…read more We had only been once about 5 years ago. Now they use the back room which is bigger to check out and it is a dining area too. The front has a small dining area but you no longer check out there. We ordered 3 sopes. I had one of the three, and ordered one taco. It was so tasty. Also ordered horchata which was also great. Their food was so tasty and we definitely enjoyed it. Four stars just because I wish they ordered shrimp and or fish but the food we received were great and we will def be back sooner. They are located in an older building in construction and the entrance is on the side of it. Don't let that appearance shy you away. Service was excellent, efficient, & friendly.

I hesitated to give this review but our experience left us with such a bad feeling and reading…read moreanother reviewer who had a similar complaint I thought I should. We've only been here twice - the first visit was more than good - it was a busy night but we got seated outside and our food came out quickly. We ordered all appetizers to test a variety of food, and none of them disappointed. The server guy was fast and friendly. The second visit we came on a not-so-busy night, I'd say the place was about half full on a rainy day. My husband couldn't decide what to order - the menu is large, so he asked the server what she recommended. Without missing a beat she said the skirt steak was her favorite. So he ordered that. I ordered the short ribs. Even though the place was not busy, it took forever to get our meals this time, and the server was nowhere to be found - she didn't stop to explain the wait. Finally our meal came. The skirt steak was served sliced, with a side container of brussels sprouts. Average-looking. And my husband thought it was average-tasting. The shock was when we got the bill. Apparently the skirt steak was a Wagyu steak and the most expensive item on the menu. When the server recommended it she did not say it was a Wagyu steak and she didn't give a heads-up on the price. When I mentioned our surprise the server just shrugged it off. As the days passed by I felt more and more burned by the experience. Before writing this I looked at their web site to find the item and it was listed at $60. We were charged over $100 for the Wagyu skirt steak - don't know what happened there. I'm an old lady and this kind of thing has never happened to me at any restaurant anywhere.
