Mission Bar & Grill inside of the San Fran airport had the most delicious shrimp tacos & margs!

Simple on corn tortillas with some cabbage, tomato and crema sauce and a side of fresh guac and warm crispy chips. Drink was refreshing but and hit the spot, especially after 24 hours + of travel.

Waitress was very kind and expedient.

Like a hidden gem if you’re in this airport def eat here!!

If you’ve ever visited the Sarasota Florida area and haven’t tried - IT IS A MUST TRY!!!

Located in Burns Court Sarasota, this quaint establishment full of history and Southern Hospitality serves up fresh seafood from the bay and Southern classics. They have a Banyan tree out front (plus a fisherman statue lounging in a fold out chair they may or may not startle your! Lol), tire swing out back, historical and interesting memorabilia inside and more.

As described the staff is super attentive and provide great recommendations. They don’t accept reservations so just preparing you that there may be a wait. There’s a small bar you can wait at though. Also, I believe they have live music sometimes in the back.

For apps def try the chicken fried lobster tail with mustard Mayo! The blackened grouper tacos with green salsa, spicy Baja sauce (and additional added hot sauces) were delicious! I also recommend trying the market fish of the day blackened with spicy collard greens and garlicky string beans.

Super cool spot serving delicious food and is filled with so much personality! Def try here.

tiki vibes and tacos!!! Came here over the summer after taking a trip out on the boat. They squeezed our party into a booth and we had a great time cozying up and chattting.

The tables and bar are upstairs on a colorful wooden tiki deck. Out back they have a sand pit area with chairs, artwork over looking the bay. There’s a second bar downstairs as well.

All the staff were chill and friendly. The food was decent! I personally liked the ahi tuna tacos best but they also have Mahi Mahi, grouper, shrimp, lobster, beef, pulled pork and chicken so you have a lot of options! Our friend ordered the tuna app which was huge so I recommend that if you’re more into seafood.

On a super cool note, they have their own hot sauce!!! 🥰 that was cool. I wish they had a veggie side besides coleslaw, and the drinks were a little sweet otherwise this was a fun stop. 😎

& btw, they also have live music! 🤘🏼

shrimp, grilled Mahi Mahi, and veggie tacos! Topped with extra hot sauce of course.

These were pretty good but I had already filled up on guac and queso. Both were ok.

This place is very unique. The inside is large, colorful, with a large bar, food order area and food pick up area. Having to order from the front stand and pick it up makes it have a bit more of a food hall vibe - bringing everything back to your table on a red tray and grabbing a handful of silverware and some napkins off a large brown paper towel roll.

The margaritas were huge! One is definitely enough. They have a lot of sports games on here. Def has more of a casual vibe.

Yoooo !!! Located in downtown Sarasota.

These tacos were small but delicious! I tried the ahi poke which was my fav - crispy wonton shell, inamona jus (a condiment or relish used in traditional Hawaiian cooking made from roasted kukui nut aka candlenuts and sea salt), red onion, cucumber, wakame, wasabi crema, masago & sesame seed.

Also had the fish taco which was pretty good. Others had the slow roasted angus and birria beef. I sadly didn’t get to try the others but they looked amazing!!!

The waiter was very friendly and made me a very fresh tasting spicy margarita. He also was not hesitant to come check in on us and bring extra hot sauce.

The aesthetic inside is like a woodsy, chill, yet colorful vibe. Makes sense being a “Bourbon & Tacos” place. Even the bathrooms were cool! Haha

They have margarita happy hours on Mondays, Tuesday specials, weekend bottomless brunch. Super fun taqueria with delicious food & drinks. (Check out the bourbon menu) Def recommend! 😎

Omg 😍

Tuna Crudo Tostada. Tonight Special!

A bit delayed on this review but pictured here are ‘s shrimp tacosssss

Sadly much more bland and dry compared to their fish tacos. Realizing it’s def part due to them being on the “Skinnylicious” section of the menu, haha! The escabeche salad was a healthy treat though! (Just add Tobasco) and luckily the company and conversation was far from bland being with my family and Grandma 🥰

If you asked her opinion of Cheese Cake Factory she might say it’s too dark and a bit loud - but Gram loves her brunching so def had a good time! ❤️

Side note - our waiter was awesome!

🌮 review 👉🏼 concert edition

Ok the nachos at are NOT BAD! Def solid choice over the tacos. Tacos really could’ve used hot sauce but unfortunately they only had ketchup and mustard available. So skip on the tacos 😎 as a side note, the watermelon margarita is dope!

Never got a chance to review this was an ABSOLUTE FEAST 🤤

Tempura fish and fried mushroom tacos, birria tacos - both on blue corn tortillas.

Birria tacos come with Braised chili marinated Beaver Brook Ranch short ribs, shank and shoulder, queso Oaxaca, pickled onion, pickled jalapeño, aji verde, lime, consomé w/white onion and cilantro.

If you’re not familiar with consomé it’s the liquid birria meat cooks in and becomes incredibly flavorful in the process. The sauce def made these tacos.

Their tortillas are sourced from Nixtamal based out of New Jersey.

As you can tell, no joke!!

The fish taco is fried Alaskan Sole, Jalapeno mayonesa, citrus cabbage, cilantro. Mushroom is crispy maitake mushrooms, chipotle mayo, house-made hot honey, shredded lettuce.

They have shrimp, carne asada, pollo and bbq carnitas tacos too to choose from that also look heavenly 😇

Guac was delicious wish they just would give you salsa with it and it wasn’t separate? Haha also the hot sauce comes as Cholula packets which take forever to open- inconvenient if you’re a hot sauce addict like me! lol

The arctic char aguachile special was AWESOME - another reason why I like this place is because they rotate the specials 😄

Organic chicken taquitos were ok. I didn’t try the Cuban sandwich pictured but the yuca fries with chimichurri aioli was 🔥

Finally the strawberry tree leches cake was insanely delicious and by this point I was so full 😅

I had a spicy margarita too that was delectable and came out super fast.

The staff were speedy and business-like. Inside boasted a nice wall mural and cool upsidedown colorful umbrellas in the back. Def a clean, modern vibe. They have a huge bar in the middle and played upbeat music. Was definitely a fun my upscale type of Mexican restaurant or Latin-inspired concept from Mark Daniel Hospitality to be exact! Also the place itself is HUGE - there were so many tables.

Just as a last note make sure you’re ready to park at a meter outside or in a nearby parking lot where you might have to pay. But hey, it’s worth it! ☺️

Latest “taco” review! what a lovely spot to sit outside on the boardwalk right along the beach 😎

Ok the taquitos pictured here weren’t what I was expecting - menu describes it as smoked swordfish, plantains, pickled jalapeños, lettuce yellow corn tortillas. First off they def look more like tacos 😅 call me crazy but everything was smothered in mayo and it was topped off with a spicy mayo sort of sauce? It wasn’t bad just not very flavorful and I would def add the missing components to the description and maybe call them tacos? Haha just my suggestion

Otherwise the spicy margarita was AWESOME and the paella valenciana so so so hit the spot!!! Absolutely delicious and our waitress was very chill and sweet.

Only other thing to be aware of - we put our name and number down with the hostess who said she’d contact us in 40 min. We came back after an hour and she didn’t see anything ready for us but there were open tables so she sat us then? Weirdest thing is the ppl before us had the same problem and she sat them right away too 🤣 seemed like that could’ve been more organized but the hostess herself was very sweet as well.

Also, If you DO have to wait you can always check out that is right above 😄
