Casita Taqueria: Reviews & Ratings
Great place to quickly grab some tacos! They have indoor outdoor seating and the service is quick! You order through the window and then they'll bring the food to you. Fun decor and atmosphere! Big tables for large groups too.
Best Sautéed Shrimp Tacos! Delicious guacamole and chips. Ambience is better at the location downtown, but the food is great at both! Service is pretty much the same at both.
Love the casita bowl and the tacos. This has become one of our go-to places over the years. Chips and guacamole are fantastic as well as their margaritas! Staff is super helpful and always give us suggestions for different items to eat. Highly recommend this place. There is inside and outdoor seating and dogs are welcomed.
Parking was a little difficult as there's only a few spots in the lot thankfully there was street parking available. The inside was spacious and outdoor seating was also available. I ordered chips and guac and 2 different tacos to go. The food was ready in minutes! Perfect for anyone on a tight lunch break. The guac was very fresh and seasoned well and the chips were fresh crispy and perfectly salted. The Barbacoa taco was definitely the better of the two as the chicken tinga had a strange taste to it. The sauce bar had 3 different options, a Smokey one, a spicy honey based one, and a green one. The only one I wasn't a fan of was the green one which was surprisingly the emptiest bottle of the 3. Not the most authentic but not bad either.
I have been to Casita Taqueria a few times (both this location and the Tyrone location) and each time was underwhelmed. Everything tasted fine but I felt it was a bit overpriced for fine. However, I am compelled to HIGHLY recommend the daily homemade soup I had. I am sorry I don't know the name but it was some kind of creamy pepper and it was AMAZING. I also had the salad and was again underwhelmed. The bottom was soggy and it was just ok. I left probably half of it and I still kick myself for not ordering more of the soup to go.
This taqueria is a must visit whenever I swing through downtown St Pete. The staff is so friendly! The food is always delish and we've tried most of it. The indoor/outdoor seating is plentiful although parking can be a challenge on some nights. The back patio is ideal for families as kids can frolick while their parents eat.
My favorite taco place in the area. Not only do that have great tacos, but the space is relaxing. I love to meet a friend here before a show
