I recently found myself on west Hillsborough around lunch time and stopped into Guadalajara for lunch. This isn’t the first time I’ve been there, and it probably won’t be the last. Guadalajara is great for what it is – comfort food. They have everything you’d expect from a Mexican/Tex-Mex restaurant, fajitas, tacos, tostadas, burritos, salsa [...]

Best Tex-Mex/Mexican – Casa Tina’s

I ended up combining the “Mexican food” category with the “Tex-Mex” category. Perhaps next year I’ll spend some more time making some clear distinctions between the two categories. For now, however, there is no clear cut winner. The top contenders were Maya’s, Estela’s, Malena’s, and Casa Tina’s, and those will be our four contenders for [...]

Those keeping score at home (and really, why wouldn’t you be) know that I believe Tex-Mex to be the ultimate expression of food. I could dine on a diet of bean and tortilla variations for the rest of my life and never tire of it. That said, there’s plenty of so-called “Mexican” restaurants I can [...]

I don’t know if I would drive from Seminole Heights to Dunedin just to eat at Casa Tina’s, but fortunately we have some friends who live there, so driving over for a visit, a dip in the pool, a dinner at Casa Tina’s, and a beer at Skip’s, makes for an almost perfect day. The [...]

Taconazo, the Taco Bus

I see that Florida Food Hound reviewed the Taco Bus last autumn and gave it a “good, but not great.” “The legend of the Taco Bus may be bigger than the reality of the place, but it’s still a good choice for authentic Mexican fare.” In the short time I’ve been here, I’ve developed a [...]

Maya’s Mexican Restaurant

Maya’s is so authentic I had to break out my embarrassingly poor Spanish to order lunch. I ordered a chicken Torta, which is one of my indicators for an authentic Mexican food restaurant. My torta was delectable. I liked everything about Maya’s and think I need to try them out for breakfast someday. Maya’s is [...]

Chipotle

I ate at Chipotle last week for lunch. The location I visited is near USF campus, next to, but not in, University Mall. It’s at 2576 E. Fowler and in the same shopping center as Demolition Comics. On the plus side, the ingredients are fresh and the menu is simple. (Simple menus are great for [...]
