So I saw good reviews and decided to try these tacos, and I was pleasantly surprised. Service was nice, attentive and very friendly. Menu had some no meat options, some fish options and other than tacos options. I got two chicken tacos and one vegetarian. I loved them all, very fresh and made very authentic. Ambiance is lacking unfortunately, it's ok for what it offers but I would prefer to have it be a little nicer inside. It's very simple and very few seating available. Overall great experience for lunch.

I've been a fan of Chili's for many years, and have eaten at many locations from NY to VA to FL,…read moreand the food is usually good, the burgers especially, and the service is consistently on point as well...until today. I live in Palmetto and we have a Chili's not too far away in Ellenton, but it is always packed, so we decided to go to the Bradenton location because every time we drive by, it doesn't seem too crowded, and now we know why. We were greeted and seated promptly, which was a good start. Our server showed up within about 6 minutes and took our drink orders. We also pointed out that we are rewards members and had logged in on the tablet thingy on the table to get our free chips and salsa. So far, so good. The server takes our food orders a minute later, and when I ordered my burger medium, as I always do, she said "We only do them medium well, they're smash burgers" and I told her I'd never heard that, and have been eating them for years. Hmm....this was confusing. I have eaten the "Big Mouth Burgers" for years and never heard anyone say they were smash burgers or that they couldn't be cooked to order. I hate a well done burger, I don't want to taste char, I want to taste the burger, but I let the order go as I was hoping the server just used the wrong words. At least 20 minutes goes by and we have no drinks and no chips and salsa. Finally, our server shows up with drinks, chips and salsa AND our food. She apologized and then goes on to explain to us that she has to give 6% of her tips to the people who were supposed to bring the drinks and chips. First off, I don't want to hear your complaints- YOU are the server, YOU are in charge of our table, and YOU should have been checking on us. The burgers were all burnt and tasted gross, and they instantly fell apart in our hands. They weren't a "smash" burger at all, they were just overcooked Big Mouth burgers. The three of us at the table were all going through a bunch of napkins as our food just fell apart. We are a restaurant family- my father in law, who was with us, owned 22 restaurants and he said "This is the worst server I have ever had, I would fire her immediately". Now we're done with our food and ready to leave and this server has the nerve to tell us to fill out the survey, because "Without the survey, I don't get to work"- well, you might be due for a career change, because there was no way we were giving you positive reviews after the way we were treated. We'll go back to Ellenton and wait in line next time, lesson learned. Avoid this location if you can, there is a reason they are not crowded and they get low ratings.

The price of 14.89 for 4 (small) egg rolls cut in half was a bit expensive if you ask me. The wrapper was a flour shell, and while it was okay, an actual eggroll wrapper would have been better. The menu DID state that it would be a flour shell though, so it didn't come as a surprise. One of my friends got chips and queso. I tried her chips and they were by far the best chips I have had in a restaurant recently. I would go back just for those chips! The service was good.

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!

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!
