Don Julio’s -Tampa Palms food and service was outstanding. Ask for Bianca because she will take fantastic care of you and treat you right just like a guest at her own home. Not only did she greet us with a smile but she suggested the grouper tacos with the special hot sauce and that suggestion was amazing. We loved and would want that entree again since the entree was so delicious yet she suggested another entree that we could try next time for variety.. Bianca also kept the chips and drinks coming like she read our minds. Thank you Don Julio’s and Bianca for such an incredible experience because we will be back soon.

We had such a fun night at Nueva Cantina! The Hocus Pocus theme and Halloween decorations made everything feel spooky and festive. Our server, Danny, was on point with our food and drinks and took great care of us. A great way to spend Halloween! 🎃👻

Fuego Comida did not disappoint again tonight. A very busy place now that some of our friends have returned from the north but still the service was most excellent and our server, Abigail, provide provided service above our expectations. The four of us had separate dishes and all were excellent.

    The best lunch I have had in years. Beautiful views of the water & a pleasant breeze to keep you cool. My mom & I had a light lunch before shopping at Nordstrom & the chorizo pizza was what brought my mom in, I don’t think I’ve had better pizza anywhere in Florida. Authentic Oaxcan cheese, chorizo that I wasn’t greasy at all & a thin crust. The Flautas w/ the avocado crema are the best in the state, by far. The pickled onion just puts it over the top. Oh, I forgot to mention your cup-ware is all hand blown by a woman in Mexico & imported for use & they are a beautiful, deep ocean blue. As a glass enthusiast, this was quite the treat… 😌 The food & cups were amazing & the views, of course. But, what really stood out to be was the server we had on the outside patio named, Javen. This gentleman I learned was a part of the opening team at Casa Cami & I understand why they want to keep him around. He knew every ingredient, OF EVERY DISH. 🤯 Knew where the coffee I wud was from, served everything hot & on time & was just a pleasure to get to know. My mom loved him as well, & wants to return to say hi. 👋 Overall, Javen & the cooks who made the food & the wonderful team that designed this concept deserve a long pat on the back & a kudos. I will bring friends that visit & return for the food by myself, as long as this establishment keeps this up & keeps people like Javen, around. All the best, Marcus J
