Terrible !!!!! I came here ordering to got home and what a disappointment. tacos are super expensive , $4.50 ..... and I won't mind paying hi dollar if tacos was the best from the best but got a fish taco that look more like a veggie taco with a small strip of fish to give it a taste of fish .... This people need real Mexican to show them what really tacos look like , I know it was bad when they were on a flour tortilla , Place is good sitting and service is like they don't want to go that extra mile .... So bad read more

Five stars for the food ! Been going here for years menu hasn't really changed much food is always good and reasonable prices that gets you very full if you want. Employees are nice and food is prepared quick! The inside isn't fancy but it doesn't need to. Instead of worrying about look for places I like to focus on the flavor of the food and price I'm paying. This place is a must if you like tacos and burritos they keep it simple and delicious! read more

We went there for lunch o. Saturday Jan 17 , 2026 and ordered two steak burritos. I can't even describe how bad they were. The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. The dining area is torn up and falling apart. Manager was drinking beer . We first went here 25 years ago and it used to be great. New owners and it's now a health hazard! read more

I used to come here constantly years ago. Today I ordered the nachos. It used to be fresh lettuce and tomato and spicy beans. After opening it at home, it's Taco Bell caliber at best. No lettuce, tomatoes or fresh cheese. read more

Yikes. Prices have doubled and good quality has dropped, a unsustainable move. $57 for 2 quesadillas and 7 tacos and the food was below average. Cartina meat was days old and funky. Once homemade hot sauce seems like some watered down bottled sauce. They seem more polite than ever, which means they're hurting. Please fix this, you guys have such potential for simple, fresh street tacos. Your meat MUST be as fresh as your veggies, especially at $4.30 per taco. read more

I ordered a wet chicken burrito, it was not what I'm used to back in California. I couldn't even finish it, it was giving me indigestion before it even hit my stomach. The service was average and the menu was basic. Would not recommend and will not be returning.. read more

Used to love this place , been going for years. Prices have more than doubled, got takeout and it was literally ready in three minutes. Carnita Taco was cold and meat was not at all tender. They differentiate now with a "street taco" ok, that used to be just their standard taco. Also got a California steak burrito, smaller size with more rice and beans than meat $14. The guac is still delicious, premises is still rundown. Will not go back for the price and quality they are currently serving. Better options. read more

Amazing balls carnitas tacos!!!!! I ordered two carnitas tacos and a shrimp quesadilla ! I ate it allllllll. Thinking I would have a left over taco for the boy.... NOPE!! The carnitas has that roasted salty crust that we love. Such good flavor. I see why it's so popular. Glad we came in sat nite 5:30 not so busy. Even the shrimp had that salty very hot off the grill flavor! Yummmmmmmmy. Bf ordered the Taco salad carnitas natch. It was on top of chips ( instead of a bowl). He loved it. She said it was big. But he had to have two tacos anyway. He didn't realize how Dagwood the little tacos were!! Stuffed with carnitas man. read more

I have been coming here for tacos for 15 years and have never been disappointed in the authenticity, price, and quality of the food! You get fresh food for a great price and the special of the day is every week and all day each day. Great for people who can't make food specials because they work through normal "happy hour" times. It's a small hole in the wall restaurant that has delicious food for a fraction of the price in comparison to most places in Naples. I would definitely recommend the chicken tacos and the order of guacamole with chips. I usually really love the churros but recently haven't been too impressed with them so I have just been sticking with the guacamole and tacos. Definitely would recommend to get the Verde sauce because it's just a level up with the rest of the food!! read more

Went there while in the area and looking for a quick and good place to eat dinner. Based on yelp research we decided to give it a try. I was a little sceptical when I first saw the place and went inside. It doesn't look very inviting, everything is old and cheap but we decided to stay anyhow. Good decision. I went with chicken mole plate and my husband with two taco plate. The food came out very quickly, and it was very good. Not the best we had as for Mexican food, but good. And the prices are very reasonable, especially considering that you are in Naples.... The only complaint is that the mole sauce was a little greasy. The mole I tried before in other Mexican restaurants was never so greasy, but I did not experience any stomach issues, so still giving the place 4 stars. read more

Food was pretty tasty, but the service left a lot to be desired. Might go back. Had the burrito, and it was tasty. Chips and guacamole were not up to par. Female cashier was an absolute jerk. read more

Still excellent. Dinner tonight was great. Highly recommend Taco Ardiente. Everything was delicious and staff was friendly.

Long story how I got here. So the short version. I am doing a major renovation to my house. Mrs. K. has her standards. So I am in a rental for about 5 weeks. Was cutting through a parking lot to get on Pine Ridge and saw the place. Kind of remembered the name from somewhere. (Amanda S.). We went in on Sunday at about 1:30pm. I ordered the carne asada taco's. Mrs. K ordered the steak taco's. Mine came with slaw hers came with lettuce. Mine tasted better. :). We also ordered chips and salsa. The salsa was again one of the best I have had in this country. We ordered at the counter sat down and instantly the food came out. FAST. The price is all below $5 for most items. So it is good fast and inexpensive. I told the cashier how wonderful the food was and she said hope to see you soon. Oh I am sure you will see me for the next month or so. read more

It's inexpensive at a prime location. I had a chicken mole. Enough grilled chicken breast to make four flour tacos. Rice and beans. Topped with raw onions, cilantro, cheese. Under $7. Sauce is fine. The hot sauce adds a kick and some flavor. It's June and it's 88F today. No AC inside. Came at noon and packed with people. Mixed crowd of all types enjoying $2.50 tacos / $5-6 burritos. Would take this to-go next time because it wasn't that comfortable. 3.5* for food 4* for price and location read more

Do you like cheap and delicious tacos after a day at the beach and could care less about the attitude of the cashier? I know I do! Then this taco joint is the place for you. You will second guess your decision when walking in the door but don't! Just walk up to the register, take a look at the specials, then the menu, order and sit down. Food comes out fast (know your number) but be aware of the time of day you are going. Off hours have dry meat. Cheap food/tacos means cheap meat. Cheap meat heated twice means you are getting dry meat. It's a bit deceiving and tucked away in a small shopping area but order away as you will not be disappointed. I sure know I did! If you are not sure what to get and don't want to order half the menu stick with one item with shrimp and one item with carnitas. read more

Their shrimp tacos are excellent! Well seasoned, and a good size. They were ready fast and the staff was friendly and helpful. I'd gladly eat here again. read more

Street tacos are barely edible, they put tomatoes on them even though it's not listed. Carnita meat is rough and chewy, tortillas are store bought and not authentic. Forgot my order of chips but that's probably a good thing. read more

Need to update their hours of operation online. I went there in two separate occasions and it was closed but online said otherwise.

Great service and food. The meat was tasty n tender. Also, the burrito is very good n filling.

If you want cheap, come. Yes, it is a great quick lunch for hungry construction workers or a family of 12, but... thats about it. Forget the atmosphere, just get to the point, order, and walk out. Health dept closed the one on Golden gate for many rat violations, finally tore building down and moved. You get my drift. They do not have enchiladas, more reason for me not to go, tho the rat thing still haunts me. read more

Taco Ardiente is the taco place that out tacos other taco places. After running some errands I happened upon this restaurant. It's a small and unassuming place that's tucked away in a small shopping center. When I walked in I noticed there were a wide variety of taco options to choose from. I skipped the exotic meats (cow tongue) and went with simple chicken and steak tacos. The steak was flavorful and had a balanced citrus hints to it. The chicken tacos were tender and well seasoned. Both of these tacos were dripping with flavor and The fresh pico made sure each bite was crisp. I really enjoyed the freshness of everything I had. I'm looking forward to trying new things on my next visit. read more

For those of you who come here fyi they close for siesta from 2 til 5. My favorites are the taquitoes and wet chimichanga. read more

Very good food and friendly service. The chicken enchiladas taste authentic. The hot sauce is very flavorful- it's not "just heat"! Atmosphere is very comfortable, certainly not fancy! Menu prices are inexpensive. I'd say it's a great value. I did notice a couple of guests waiting a minute (not exceptionally long) for the staff to come out from the back to the register - they could probably use a bell so they know someone is there. Very good food and a good experience overall. I will certainly return! read more

Per Naples Daily News on Monday, January 10, "On Dec. 20, an inspector recommended an emergency order of closure for Taco Ardiente, 1048 Pine Ridge Road, Naples, after citing the restaurant for 11 violations. Three of those violations were high-priority, including: live, small flying insects observed around drains in the dish-washing area and soda syrup boxes; roach activity, "Observed 3 live roaches underneath table next to fryers. Observed 1 live roach on floor to women's restroom," the notes read; and cleaning chemicals stored on a shelf next to bottled beverages. After two followup inspections, Taco Ardiente was allowed to reopen Dec. 22." read more

My wife and I were in the mood for some lunchtime tacos. We used the Yelp app and stumbled upon this gem. We got right in before the lunch rush. It's nothing fancy..."non descript" would be a good way to put it. There is no one there to greet you and seat you. The person that takes your order and payment was very nice. She even let my wife practice her Spanish. The food took about 5 minutes to make. I had the chicken burrito and she had the tostadas. Tap waters were our beverages although I was greatly tempted to get a Corona to match my mood. It was a Tuesday so an extra 2 hard shelled tacos were $1.49! What?!?! There is a moderate amount of seating. The line was out the door as we were leaving so I suspect if you come at a busy time, you may need to eat in your car. Overall, very happy with our food and restaurant price point. Would def recommend and visit again. read more

best tacos in Naples! always friendly and everything is beyond delicious. Highly recommend the tacos and burritos!

Best Carnitas. Refritos are good. Simple pleasures in life are captured here. Honestly

Great little, authentic taqueria! Service: (5) Staff was very polite and informative. Menu: (5) Prices are on point with a nice variety. Wide variety of drinks and beer. Food: (5) THE FOOD WAS GREAT! Barbacoa tacos with slaw and pico, ya gotta try 'em! But, of course they have carnitas, pollo and steak tacos too. Don't worry! The frijoles/ beans are delicioso! And the ceviche tostado... BAM! Almost forgot to mention their in-house hot sauce , don't touch that bottle of Cholula! Cleanliness: (4) dining room needs to be cleaned more often and thoroughly. Floor needs sweeping and mopping and some tables are dirty (sticky) under the edges. Got stains on clothes from rubbing along booth edges. So overall a 4: A cleaner dining room and this place is a 5+ read more

I am so done with this place. The only consistency here is the inconsistency. I've been coming here for about 3 years and about 50% of that time it is a miss. When they get it right it's great! Today I ordered the usual. Classic Mexican steak tacos. What I got was a whitewashed version served on a flower tortillas with lettuce and what look like processed shredded cheese. When I scoffed and requested corn tortillas the guy was rude and said "you should have asked for corn" .... (insert "Backroll" meme). I'm sorry but when did this version of a taco become the standard in a Mexican joint??? To make matters worse they serve the corn tortillas half cooked. Officially done. Save yourself the trouble and visit another joint. Side note: I agree with other reviewers. This place needs a scrub down ceiling to floor. read more

Super unassuming but delicious food! Portions are hearty. I had a Baja fish taco and a chicken taco and they were both delicious. We also got a side of beans and rice which was very large and seasoned well. My husband got the yeah yeah my husband got the carne asada burrito and said it was fantastic. Great prices. Their home recipe hot sauce is a must. We will be back for more. read more

I've lived in Naples over 10 years but had never been to Taco Ardiente despite knowing that everyone likes it. I was happy to find that they sell traditional tacos and just your regular beef and chicken. I ordered lengua (tongue) and al pastor. The tacos al pastor were really flavorful and juice while the lengua was tender. They also have a good variety of flavors of Jarritos soda. I'm glad to know that there are still places that don't overcharge you an eye in Naples. read more

I really wanted to like this place. It has all the elements of a perfect experience. I love the local feel of this place. It's kinda gritty and is a nice juxtaposition against the glittery backdrop of Naples, Florida. The customer service was what you would expect at a place like this. Effective and to the point. The cost was really affordable. I got an appetizer (taco), an entree and dessert for less than $10. I was pleased with this. The food taste is where my experience went south. With my first bite I was pleased, however after continued eating I realized that the food was saturated with entirely too much taco seasoning. I was hoping the flavors would be more varied and robust but they weren't; it was overly salty and one dimensional. The best part of my meal was the refried beans and my churro. The rice left very little to be desired. The presentation was great. Sidenote: the spicy sauce is EXTREMELY spicy. Like seriously spicy and I like spicy, but this had my mouth on fire. read more
