Taco Bus

Taco Bus is hands down one of my favorite places to eat. It's cheap, open late on weekends which is perfect for those who have drunchies at 3am, and their burritos are huge!!! Full of flavorful ingredients and always made to perfection. Taco Bus never fails.

The Taco Bus is part of the magic of Tampa Bay. It has grown to become a big part of multiple neighborhoods, but many people still find themselves preferring the original location in Seminole Heights. Indeed, the original has that hole-in-the-wall feeling like you took a trip out to Mexico and the same familiar faces I have grown accustomed to over the years. The best part about the Taco Bus has always been convenience, 24 hours of service to satisfy your Mexican cravings even after Taco Bell calls it quits. The owner provides himself on quality food and the Taco Bush has found much national loves thanks to food and travel channels on television. I like their tacos de carne asada with some fresh lime on top, their quesadilla is nice and toasty, and their burritos are guaranteed to fill you up. Overall, it is no surprise Taco Bus is one of the best Mexican restaurants in Tampa Bay.

Pros: 24 hour convenience, tasty Mexican food

Cons: Crowds can sometimes be brutal

Pros: ITS OPEN 24/7 they also bring you your food in a timely maner

I rated them a 10 for restaurant atmosphere because it is their own unique atmosphere they create. It is a one of a kind experience to eat at Taco Bus. I suggest trying a few different items from the menu. They have multiple locations now including one in Downtown Tampa.

Pros: The food at Taco Bus is amazing! The service was very friendly and quick.

Cons: The original location is not in the best area of Tampa.

Taco Bus food is amazing so make sure to try different items each time you go because it's all good. If you are ordering take out, make sure to call ahead to save time.

Pros: Great food, interesting atmosphere with the converted school bus, location is convenient, open 24/7 :)

Cons: Depending on the time you go there, sometimes you will have a long wait.

Pros: It's TACO BUS... what's not to like

Pros: Great, authentic Mexican on the cheap. Perfect for soaking up a belly full of booze after a long night at the bar.

Cons: All outdoor seating. Can get a little hot and steamy in the summer months.

Featured on the Food Network by Guy Fieri! Order from the actual bus or head into the physical restaurant right next door.

Pros: Best Horchatas ever! The Burritos are huge!

Cons: Long waits so don't be shy, head to the window when you're ready... don't wait for them to see you.

Don't be fooled!! This location is nothing like the original. I have ordered food here three times and each time the food came out ICE COLD. The food is an unmitigated disaster and the service is worse!! Do yourself a favor and eat ANYWHERE else!

The Downtown Tampa Taco Bus has a completely different feel from the original location, but still has the same great dishes and is much more convenient to South Tampa, Brandon, and Downtown Tampa residents. Open late - a great stop after a night out partying in SoHo or at Channelside. The inside of this Taco Bus reminds me much more of Mexican restaurants I would find out on Mission Street in San Francisco - the heart of Mexican cuisine in the United States. This Taco Bus seems to keep the crowds under control, but I have heard from many that I'm just lucky with my timing because when the crowds come they come in bulk. Viva Taco Bus.

Pros: Tasty Mexican food, open late, convenient to South Tampa and Brandon residents

Cons: Parking downtown with one-ways streets can be a little scary

The USF Taco Bus is welcomed. I was growing a little tired of driving down to Hillsborough Avenue every time I wanted to get some Taco Bus goodness. Some people are still sour that Taqueria Monterrey has been replaced, but I honestly never enjoyed the Fletcher Taqueria too much. This location is open late on the weekends, which is pretty neat and only a few minutes from me. As usual, I stick with my tacos de carne asada here. The grand opening was pretty sweet - I scored a Taco Bus t-shirt for being one of the first 100 customers in the store. The store itself is re-designed to be able to handle more of a take-out crowd. The lines here seem to be pretty rough as with the other Taco Bus locations, so order online for quicker service!

Pros: Close to USF, USF student discounts!, Taco Bus!

Cons: N/A
