GREAT GREAT. GREAT. GREAT 21565 US Highway 19 N One plaza over, North of Best Buy Clearwater This place is the real deal for authentic Mexican food! When I walked in to a full restaurant and 80% of the patrons were Spanish/Mexican I knew I was at the right place. I eat dinner out every night of the week and I had dinner here last and had to come back for lunch today because I couldn’t stop thinking about how much I enjoyed my dinner the night before before. Eating here was an absolute treat for my taste buds, fresh, flavorful, and absolute pleasure. Not Tex mex, authentic Mexican! Ok so the prices are not on the menu but my bill was inline with every other place I eat and was the best tasting meal I have had in a very long time. Do your self a flavor and try it for yourself. A great little deli with a hot bar for quick Togo Oders next door.
Had my extended Mexican family come in from Texas & after visiting Clearwater beach we came here. Everything was fresh, authentic & well priced. Kuddos to the free popcorn at the table. It happened to be Taco Tuesday but honestly this place is official. Everything on the menu was great. We ordered fried fish , steak tacos , Oaxacueno plate, mojarra frita,horchata was phenomenal [tastes like cinnamon toast crunch]. My kid only eats chicken tenders & fries & he said wow these are the best. Lol. If u want real Mexican & not a bland, non flavored, watered-down version. This is the place to go if your in the area. I have 20 million views for a reason. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy & don't forget to like,follow & eat. God bless
This is my go-to for authentic Mexican food. I usually get the sopes because they are amazing and their salsa verde is awesome. The rice and beans are really good also. It's a cute little spot to dine in, but I usually get my food to go. The service is great. Some of the staff don't speak English, but they are friendly and willing to find a way to help/understand you if you aren't a Spanish speaker. Don't miss out on this spot!
Authentic Mexican food with a new restaurant space next door to the market. They are no longer inside! We tried the fajitas combo and sopes, both flavorful and delicious. Great service too! definitely worth a visit.
Friendly staff and really tasty chorizo tacos. Perfect for those that don't like really greasy chorizo. Food was on my table within 3 minutes of ordering!
Wow! Beautiful flavor & spotless inside. I had a wonderful meal.
It's a Mexican restaurant for breakfast! It's a complete Mexican market, party store, snack shop, piñata heaven, meat market, homemade tamale place, and more. We loved the sopes, 3 small corn cakes piled high with my choices: pork, carnitas, and chicken. The burrito was huge enough to take home for lunch and delicious. We tried 2 of the fruit drinks prepped in the frozen beverage machine. Yummmy! Laminated menus are black with light letters, readable. no prices on the menu, so you can them with a QR code. The market is right next door. I found some outrageously great homemade tamales. Several spices and dried shrimp and other cooking supplies. I will return for my next grand kid's birthday to get one of the piñatas covering the ceiling. The aisles are slightly cramped here, but crowded with totally imported Mexican and Central American goodies. Great service. Great fresh meat, cooked meat specials, Latin cheeses, and cute flags and shoes of various countries. Delightful Little Latin America right here in Clearwater. Entry and exit are accessible. Indoor tables in eatery are accessible. Van accessible parking in free lot shared by 2 other stores, currently vacant.
Had a great dinner at Don Panchos. The authentic Mexican food was amazing- fresh, flavorful and perfectly cooked. The margaritas were delicious. The service was just as impressive. Roxane was attentive and very nice. I highly recommend Don Pancho for a great meal.
