My wife and I absolutely love this place and at this point, it's safely in our regular rotation…read more I usually go straight for the shrimp tacos, and they never disappoint. They're packed with flavor, cooked just right, and somehow hit that perfect balance of fresh and satisfying. Pair that with their rice and refried beans, which are way better than your typical "side dish afterthought" and it turns into one of those meals you think about later in the day. I've also had their birria tacos, and those deserve their own moment. Rich, flavorful, and the kind of messy that's 100% worth it. You know it's good when you stop talking mid-bite just to focus. My wife is just as loyal to her favorites, the sopes and tostadas. She swears by them, and after trying a bite (or a few... for research purposes), I get it. They're loaded, fresh, and clearly made with love. Overall, this is one of those spots where everything just works. Great food, consistent quality, and the kind of place you end up recommending to friends without even thinking about it. Highly recommend, we genuinely love this place and will definitely keep going back.

Los Chapos Tacos - Brandon, FL…read more I've been on a serious hunt for truly authentic Mexican food in the Brandon/Tampa area for years, and this little hole-in-the-wall next to the HCA hospital absolutely nailed it. I ordered the Al Pastor burrito -- twice in one week -- specifically to test consistency. Both visits were outstanding. The flavors were vibrant and clean: fresh pineapple, bright cilantro, perfectly seasoned meat, and you could even pick up subtle notes of cinnamon. Everything tasted fresh, balanced, and genuinely authentic, not over-processed or masked with heavy sauces. What really stood out was the care. The staff checked on me while I was eating, genuinely wanting to make sure everything was right. It felt less like a restaurant and more like being in someone's kitchen -- that comforting "grandma making sure you're fed right" kind of energy. Warm, welcoming, and personal. I've traveled extensively in Mexico and lived in Florida for years trying to find a place that hits the mark for real Mexican flavor -- and this place absolutely delivers. Hands down, this is the best Mexican food I've found in this area in a long time. If you're anywhere near Brandon and love authentic Mexican food, do yourself a favor and stop here. You won't regret it.

This isn't the best mexican food I've had, so it's getting two stars from me. As a mexican food…read morelover, trust me, this isn't what you want. I ordered an Horchata, Strawberry juice, and two tortas (carnitas & ribeye). Honestly speaking, I would totally go back for just the strawberry juice because it was delicious, low on sugar, and I kept asking for more. The horchata was the same -- delicious. However, on the actual food, I was feeling rather melancholic. I literally live like 2 mins away from the food truck and when I got home the whole torta was soggy. Felt like it was dipped in water and when I ordered they made the torta for me. That made my visit here pretty somber because I was so hype for my tortas, but I guess that's how the cookie crumbles. Again, highly recommend the juices at this place, but the food... not so much.

Their tacos are one of my favorites in Tampa Bay…read more When I saw their food truck was going to be at the opening of Riverfront park, I knew immediately that I was going to eat there. I got to try them at the Yelper Party, but I needed to experience them in their element. The line was long, but they moved pretty fast. Unfortunately they were out of corn tortillas and were making more when I got to the front of the line, so I opted for flour instead of waiting. I've been eating A LOT of tacos in the past couple of weeks. Once I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes I needed to find a meal that consisted of the perfect amount of carbs and protein. It turns out two tacos is exactly what my body needs. (At Loli's I ordered three tacos, don't judge me but my blood sugar did almost hit the highest of the range I'm supposed to be in, so I've scaled back to two). I got a shrimp, a ribeye, and a cow tongue. Cow tongue might make you pause, but it is the most delicious meat I ate out of the three, and the other two weren't slobs. I promptly decided next time I will only order cow tongue until I looked up the nutritional aspect of the meat. Don't be me, don't look it up. I love fatty meats so I loved the cow tongue. All three meats were exceptional. Like I said, I've been eating many tacos and this surpasses all of them by far. If you see the Loli's food truck rolling up anywhere, do yourself a favor and stop to try it. Heck, I'd be tempted to follow it to its final destination if I see it driving down the street. It is just that good.

I had a feeling their food was going to be good. I was wrong...it was better than I expected…read more I wasn't familiar with this restaurant, but I noticed it a few weeks ago while staying at the hotel next door. At the time, I chose another spot on the strip, but this time I decided to give them a chance. The place is average sized, nicely decorated, and the tables are well spaced out. Even though they were busy, everything was clean and well kept. You can tell the locals love this place. And now, so do I. I ordered the carne asada bowl with extra grilled onions and peppers, plus an extra serving of shrimp. Yup, I went all in, and I have zero regrets. The carne asada was juicy and tender, the rice perfectly cooked, and the grilled shrimp was delicious. This bowl was a winner, and I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the Tampa area. Lorita's, please come to Orlando!

It was open for business, but there was only one other group of two in there with us-and only one server-who was also the bartender. It was a little odd. I'm sure this place is popping at night. Our server (who was chatty at the end-businesslike before) told us there's karaoke on Friday nights and a DJ on Saturdays. I'll definitely bring the friends back for that. The drink menu is large-it would be a fun night spot. I'm just not sure I'd come back for a weekday lunch. That's not the food's fault, though. I had chicken enchiladas verde (very nice) with some of the best Mexican rice I've ever had. The margarita was also good. You can tell this restaurant has been around awhile-there are echoes of genres past, with different decor still lingering (the lighting, for example). But I love the murals outside, the bar surrounds, the signage by the stage area and the other Mexican touches. I also really like the vintage windows-it's a nice nod to the past. And it's spotless in here-so clean-with lots of tables. I also thought the prices were fair. I hope they thrive!

This is NOT the restaurant El Patron anymore!!! The new name is 200 Copas Bar and Grill. Let me…read morestart with this is NOT a bar and grill!! This is a nightclub that happens to serve food. We did not know that walking in. They all looked at us like what are you doing here? My husband even said is this a restaurant? So we asked for a menu - which is a QR code. Yes- they have food. We decided to sit at the bar and at least have a drink. It was early so no a lot of people. Everyone seemed confused as to how things worked. Most employees spoke Spanish and we do not. A bartender did speak English. He asked what we wanted and took our drink order. He was nice. We did end up getting food. Chips and salsa=$10! Other items were priced fairly. We asked for water and he claimed they only had bottles of still water=$4.50. But we saw someone else get a glass with ice/water at another table. Also be warned there is a "service fee" of 15% (for what I have no idea) and if you use a credit card 3% card fee. We searched on line to see what people said about this place and some other reviews on Google said they charge $10 to get in although we were not charged anything to come in. In the end the food was pretty good. Bottom line- this is a nightclub with an identity problem as they are trying to serve food as well and it just does not have a restaurant or bar&grill feel to it. We won't be back as not our scene, but also wish them well with the clients they really are trying to attract.
