We had never been in before, walked in sat down. Waited 5 minutes & a lady handed us menus. Figured out what we wanted, continued to sit there another 10 min. Then, we realized we needed to order at the counter. (Kind of annoying, but it’s not a deal breaker)

I’ve never had authentic Mexican in Tampa before and when I went to Mexico let’s face it I ate at tourist places (shame on me). But the food I had here is hard to describe. It was fresh, hot, juicy, flavorful and the meat was spiced perfectly. But, I can’t compare it to anything I’ve had before. I had something called the Quesabirria, which has ribeye, brisket, and rib meat. The texture was shredded (which did remind me of the meat I had in Mexico), but this was in a different world compared to what I ate there. Again, I can’t compare it to anything I’ve had before. I just know I liked it. My sister says that I’m California this is a common type of taco that many people make. I don’t know about that I just know this was fantastic. I can’t wait to go back and try their tacos! I did ask about flour tortillas and the owner said that she only uses flour tortillas for burritos, quesadillas and fajitas ( I think) everything else is corn. I never eat corn tortillas but these were so good. They doubled it up (I guess with cheese in between?), then put the meat and more cheese in the taco itself with onions. It was great! You have to try this place.

The quesabirria taco is everything that everyone raves about. Delicious! This restaurant is stunning. The art work is amazing. You don’t know where to look. The owner is a renaissance woman. She cooks, she’s an artist. Absolutely amazing. This is definitely a gem spot in Tampa.

Although the service was great, the location and price wasn’t that great.

Overall pretty good experience. The tacos were a bit pricey but the pastor tacos were especially delicious. The restaurant itself is filled with artwork and the service was very fast. The staff was friendly. The margaritas are $15 but they come in a decent serving size. Worth a try if you are in the area.

Parking is a bit of a situation in this area but that’s not the restaurants fault. Went for an event last year drag Loteria and if was an outstanding event. Also tried the Birria tacos and they were juicy and tasty.

My favorite Mexican restaurant in the region. Taco Tuesday promotion is outstanding. Tisbeth is an amazing person, talented artist and chef. Her special creations have been off the charts good. Her tequila dinners…just wow. T-1 tequilas are my new favorites for Blanco, Reposado, Ańejo en especially the Tears of Llorona extra ańejo.

Hey I came to this taco spot because I am from the west Tampa area , it’s once was the respectable 4th of July , so I gave it a shot, the waiter a woman was very impatient with orders and once we got our food , I ordered a side of Mexican rice, as I began to eat and inspect the rice there was a termite in the rice, I addressed the issue and the waitress begun to catch a attitude with me about it, I showed her the bug and she begun to get upset with claims with knowledge the the bugs come from the ceiling, health department, and pest control should be a first before the attitude ma’am

You are greeted by the owner chef from the kitchen as you enter. You are not a stranger but a new friend. She is always cooking up something new and exciting. Full of flavor and cooked to perfection. Nothing out of a can or box in this place, only the freshest of ingredients. The bowl of guacamole is a must and try it topped off with grilled shrimp in a secret sauce. Street parking available or the parking area behind the building. Easy access, no
