    I absolutely loved the entire experience, we received so much food for what we paid for and even got fresh plates to go. One drink each had the both of us extremely loose and giggly so shoutout to the mixologist that night. Altogether we spent about $150 including tip. Experience could’ve been better had our waiter Jean been better. We got really off or weird vibes from him almost as if he was mocking me or not wanting to serve us (we were the only black ppl inside the restaurant I try not to think I’m getting bad service bc of race but the table around us were white and Hispanic and he was very bubbly and open with them), I didn’t feel it was worth messing up the night to complain to the manager. This was my spouses birthday at that but overall good experience. I HIGHLY recommend the salsa trio and steak quesadillas as well, they’re amazing *kisses fingers*

    The guac and chips made by our wonderful server (who’s from Columbia table) side was DEEE LISH US! The tacos, burger with jalapeños and chicken tortillas soup brought a smile to our stomachs. We have been struggling to find good Mexican food/restaurants in Tampa. Coming from San Diego nothing can compare. Until now. We will definitely be back! Muchas Gracias Besito Restaurant.

    The coconut bass was excellent. And I always love the churros at the end of the meal.

    We were celebrating a birthday dinner. The chicken in the fajitas was very chewy which was very disappointing . We didn't want to complain because we were there with family .
