Hot spot alert, Hot Spot Alert!! Was looking for a new quick bite to eat and found Taqueria Mi…read moreGente. If you don't mid a small drive from Destin or Pensacola, this truly a hidden gem. Taqueria Mi Gent has all the traditional Mexican dishes and did I mention all fresh ingredients? I've been to many taquerias and Mi Gente is one of the great ones. Any taqueria that embraces a fresh salsa bar is where it's at. Several types of salsas with varying heat and flavor levels compliments each dish perfectly. Generous portions and reasonable prices also keep your belly full and won't hurt your wallet. Highly recommend Taqueria Mi Gente. I bought a burrito to catch a flight and was delicious at 30,000 while watching a movie headed home. This is my new spot and heading back to Florida soon. Service was great and very patient in answering questions about the menu or anything else you want to know about their delicious food. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed!

My husband and I are new to the area and discovered this restaurant based on a recommendation from…read morethe gentleman working at our hotel's front desk. Since the Mary Esther location was conveniently close to where we were staying, we decided to stop by and place a to-go order. Upon arrival, we went to the bar to order, and the bartender was friendly and helpful. My husband ordered the grilled chicken quesadilla, which the bartender highly recommended, along with a soft taco. I chose the shredded chicken soft taco. When we got back to our hotel and tried the food, we were pleasantly surprised. The flavors were well-balanced and delicious without being overwhelming. The seasoning was just right, allowing the freshness and quality of the ingredients to stand out. Both the quesadilla and tacos were flavorful, satisfying, and clearly prepared with care. We enjoyed our first experience so much that we returned two days later. This time, we both ordered the grilled chicken and avocado salad. Once again, the food exceeded our expectations. The salads contained generous portions of grilled chicken, the avocado was fresh and perfectly ripe, and there was an excellent balance of vegetables and protein. It was a filling meal without feeling heavy. The only minor issue during our second visit was that we requested balsamic dressing, but it was accidentally left out of our to-go order. However, we did not check our bag before leaving, so we share some responsibility for not catching the oversight. Surprisingly, the salad was so fresh and flavorful that we still thoroughly enjoyed it without the dressing. Based on the two meals we have tried, we have been very impressed with both the quality and consistency of the food. The ingredients tasted fresh, the portions were generous, and the flavors were excellent. As newcomers to the area, we are always looking for restaurants worth revisiting, and this is definitely one we plan to return to. We would happily recommend it to others looking for a reliable and enjoyable dining experience.

Now, keep in mind that my son (formerly known as mr. picky pants, if you've followed me for any amount of time) always orders the same thing when we goes to a restaurant. So, he comes here to get a very specific burrito. I tried the shrimp bowl. I was in such a happy place (because i LOVE a bowl) that i don't even know what his burrito had in it!! They did NOT skimp the shrimp! (if you order shrimp very often, you know they limit you to 5-6 pieces, usually) In this shrimp bowl, i stopped counting at 10..... there were more than 10!! and not the small ones..... like decently sized shrimp!! it was so good!!!! I wanna go back, so that i can be like my son and order the same thing everytime i come here!! DELISH!!

That said, most of the meat dishes we tried were noticeably over-salted, which made it hard to appreciate the other flavors. The kids' nuggets were okay but a little dry.

Overall, a decent spot for Mexican food and drinks, especially if you're looking to relax with friends and enjoy a margarita or two.

The rice was nice, it wasn't dry it was very fresh. The chicken was amazing! Cooked nicely and had some great sauces on top. Overall I would love to go back and try more food.
