For far the best Mexican join in Tampa Downtown!! Everything on the menu is delicious, affordable and made fresh. Recommend 100%!!
I'm from South Texas and I'm always hesitant to have Mexican food outside of Texas. Our meal today was yummy. Order the chips and queso , carne asada tacos were also yummy.
Queso is awesome! Great place to watch the games as they have some nice screens surrounding the restaurant . Good service and food, just an overall great atmosphere, I recommend to all.
Woooow what a great Mexican restaurant :) if you're visiting for the first time ask for a Torta :) it's going to be delicious. And if you're a Mexican you must come try this place :)
Fish tacos are the best I have found in Florida. They are high enough quality to pass as real Southern California fish tacos !
Great guacamole . Tinga tacos and quesadilla were really delicious. Service was excellent.
Great option for Vegan or vegetarian dining: no lard in the refried beans , no sour cream in the guac !
Chips salsa and guacamole are great. Nice staff . Enchiladas with green sauce .
Great atmosphere. Incredible tacos . It would be cool if they added some more margaritas to the menu.
Try to get here early for Taco Tuesday , it fills up quickly.
This is my favorite Mexican place ! Chips to die for!! Tacos are the bomb!!
Enormous chimichangas and lots of great taco options.
Hand-made everything. Very tasty. Taco Bus around the corner was all out of the package and rather disgusting - complete with a bone/tooth-like object in my barbacoa . UC is MUCH better.
The carne asada taco is amazing! The Tinga taco not so much.
The el Rey burrito is fantastic and they do not skimp on the steak or the shrimp . Do it.
hands down the best tortilla chips in Tampa Bay !
The cantelope juice is sensational..a must try! And the chips and guac are very fresh!
I agree, Taco Bus is good, but Urban Cantina is better! The cantina burrito Rocks!
Fish tacos , quest and the El Rey burrito .
Best shrimp tacos I have EVER had!
crunchyy tinga tacos are delicious & they carry pacifico , one of the best beeeers ever.
Taco Tuesday with $2 Coronas! Cant go wrong!
Awesome tortilla soup ! Fast service too!
Had great specials and quick service .
Try the carne arsada. Seriously thee Best Mexican food in Tampa
Lunch special is for the same tacos , extra to split
This place is wonderful. Definitely recommend the guacamole .
The Gordito Burritos is awesome, but the fries and beans...not so much. Also, salsa dip is not spicy , axe for spice green salsa . Ambiance is great though.
Tinga tacos are the best!
Anybody that thinks their tacos are better than taco bus is unqualified to speak on the matter. Maybe better than taco bell.
Tacos were great, and so were the specials...2 beers 3 tacos $10!!
Gimchi...your out of your mind, this place has the best tacos around! I think it's even better than the taco bus !
Pick up service is BAD if ordering for a large group They were late half of the food was ready and the other half wasn't. Half of the food was cold by the time we got it to the office (1 block away).
The margaritas are wine based.... But the gordito burrito was tasty.
great food ... great service .. perfect recommendations from staff
Pacifico on draught , best way to cool off in downtown
Urban carnitas is so good!!!
Queso and Carne Asada Tacos
Disappointed with their sopes but pleasantly surprised that they had them on the menu.
Good Mexican food and good service , love it
Queso and fish tacos !
Get Place!!!
They don't honor the check-in special anymore at their SoHo location :o(
Amazing Salsa
No changing tables in the bathroom !
If you like chili 's but don't want to admit it, this is your place! Over priced and flavor lacking food, over priced beer , and the best part is the margaritas made entirely with sweet syrupy mix thats
Try the Mole , you won't be disappoint, son.
They do not accept restaurant.com discounts so beware!!!
OK in a pinch or if you have a coupon
Slow service, and the cooks were touching food without gloves. Food was okay but nothing special. Won’t come again.
Get two or three tacos and try the different meats. They're all great! - Drew Coffman
Fun, good food and drinks and affordable. Hopefully they will expand to the east side of Florida - Bobbi Prager
Food is great. This locations gets packed during lunchtime. Order via the mobile app / online and avoid the long line. Parking is tight so park on the side road to get some extra walking in! - Jason Ballard
Great dog park on the water in downtown Tampa with lots of activities and things to do...great food nearby too! Urban cantina was only two blocks away :) - Chris Rivas
Very nice place, love the set up! Little pricey on concession, two vitamin waters over $10. But had a great time. - Alexandria Staff
Beautiful venue! And the incomparable Leonard Cohen was amazing! Multiple encores, great house staff & Maestro's was so convenient. Wonderful experience all around. - Carrie Ross
