Good service, great flavor, and the interior was well kept and clean .... I would definitely be back again next year ..

We enjoy Jake's as we can get a tasty meal rather fast and we love what the full bar offers. Our most recent visit was to have lunch with a toast for National Margarita Day. My husband enjoyed the burrito, I went with the pork carnitas tacos and my daughter loved her Burris Torta Ahogada. I'll have to admit it looked so good and different from what I usually get that I plan to get that next time we visit. We each did a different margarita to wash it down and had a great lunch sitting outside!

Everything was fresh , homemade and so delicious . Cute place ! What made it even better was Haley the bartender ... super friendly, nice and on top of her game ...every restaurant should be so lucky to have one of her !!! Hope they pay her well !!!

I enjoy eating here when I have a beach day! It's very casual- walk up to order set up is like chipotle. Although it is self serve they come around and check on you! They also have a bar inside. Very reasonable pricing! Owned by crabby bills.

Tasty food . Order at counter. Best to study menu in advance. I'd like to return and try fish tacos and a side of black beans. Enjoyed roasted butternut squash tacos. I held the cheese and crema (sour cream). Received two soft tacos filled with a lot of pickled and grilled onions, butternut squash, cilantro and a small amount of grilled vegetables. I'm not sure i had more than one green bean and one piece of green pepper. Doesnt sound filling but i was satisfied when i left the cantina. You can help yourself to water from a jug. Tables and chairs are plastic. Napkin dispenser on every table (tacos are messy).

Just stopped in because we were hungry! Great food and great service! Highly recommend!

One of the first places you see as you drive into Indian rock and it is always busy. Overall a decent Mexican spot that will feed your family quickly. We did carry out which was ready in a timely manner which is greatly appreciated. Food quality was fine and pretty tasty. My family was able to customize everything which was awesome. My taco salad was really good and came filled to the brim. Everyone was happy and full so that's a success in my book. It seems like this place is always running deals on food and drinks so next time I want to stop in for a margarita. Staff was polite and you can order online easily. Inside is your standard Mexican spot and they also have outdoor seating as well.

This is a fun little place not far from Indian Rocks Beach. It's a true cantina as you walk up and order your food. The staff is friendly and the food was good. I had the Mahi tacos and ordered a side of fresh guacamole. All good and had some decent flavor. My wife had the Butternut Squash tacos which were super interesting and had great flavor. We were there for lunch and the beers were $4, can't beat that.

The Birra Torte Ahogada, the Quesabirria Tacos, and the Mexican Street Corn were all phenomenal! Some of the best Mexican food places we've ever been to! The Birra beef in the Torte was tender and flavorful the extra prep steps add a ton of flavors on top of that yet. The stewed beef used in the tacos is the same (I believe)...MMMMM Even the salsa and queso were fantastic and the chips were very thin but held up for dipping just fine! Plenty of seating and a relaxed vibe...you place your order right inside the door and continue on to the cash register to pay...there's a bar area as well for some adult refreshments. In my top three of Mexican restaurants I've been to and I can't remember the other two right now as this was soooo good! Hat tip to Jamie and Skylar of Explorcation for the info on this place!
