I am so dissappointed I cannot even tell you. I think Tampa has no idea what authentic mexican cuisine tastes like. I am from El Paso Texas and I think I have and idea. Well Mekanita one but I am not going to drive all that way for their food. I did it once and it was ok but if I am going to make a drive its going to be to Dunedin!

They where relentless for the last two and a half hours. I am still going to Casa Tina's also. Sorry Tina we tried.
Regardless of the winner, I've learned about a bunch of new places I've yet to try -- excited for that.
Yes, Sorry Tina and Javier, we tried. All I can say is three of my favorite places, Casa Tina's, Zurrito's and La Cabana del Tio all did exceedingly well. At least I know my hunger for tacos does not need to be quenched by making a 'run for the border!'
