Chihuas Tacos

Just across the JW Marriott in Clearwater is an intimate little taco joint that caught my eye. This place piqued my interest especially since I'm a taco fanatic being from Texas. Came into this place when they announced their opening hours at noon so I came with an appetite. However, when I arrived at noon, the owner said he still needed about 15 more minutes to be ready. Already being hungry, I had the option to leave yet I stuck around. The master chef was the only employee in the place and he was the one who prepared our entire meal. I appreciate the hustle of the owner putting his heart and soul into preparing our meal.I ordered a couple discada tacos, which essentially is a meat sampler taco. Each taco came to about $5 each. I'm usually not upset at the price because I did order a taco that contained basically every meat on the menu however being from Texas, I expected to get this size taco for about half the price. After indulging in a bite, I was disappointed with the lack of flavor. Even the accompanying lime and taco sauce barely did enough to let the flavor stand on its own. Usually corn tacos have two corn tortillas to help with the structure but each taco only came with a single corn tortilla. The structure collapsed after one bite and I never really tasted any cohesion. The taco never felt united. It just felt like a disassembly of several parts that never sang together in perfect harmony.

Quick and efficient and had just opened back up after hurricane the quesadillas were spot on

Sad I didn't take a pic but was pleasantly surprised such a good little taco spot is sitting in the middle of tourist regulars. Everything cooked to order and some of the best guacamole I've ever had. Great job!

The birria tacos are so delicious my family kept taking them for themselves. Some of the best tacos in the area.

This is a beautiful little restaurant basically operated by one person and he takes excellent care of everyone who comes in and the vibe expresses his feelings! Food is super tasty! I had the vege tacos and they were right up there with the best ever!

I was excited to see a small taco shop while I visited the area. The service was quick, and the menu looked awesome. Three steak tacos almost equalled one at most taco shops. It came with rice and what was suppose to be beans. It was two black beans and the soup from the bottom of the pot. Nothing tasted bad, it was just minuscule. When I left, I let out some minuscule farts.

Best tacos in Clearwater. So tasty and fresh! So many options to choose from. Tacos and nachos are delicious and so is the Mexican rice!!! Service was excellent and the restaurant had a great atmosphere.

Happened upon Chihuas Tacos by coincidence. And frankly I couldn't be happier. My wife and I were looking for a quick afternoon meal and it was disarmingly delicious. Don Tino is a one man army: he is the cook, cashier, and server. His carne asada, chorizo, and el pastor tacos were immaculate. His salsa verde was the perfect balance of sour and savory, and his salsa taquera was sweet and spicy with chiles de arbol. In a part of Florida where the restaurant scene is dominated by Caribbean Latino cuisine and fish shack couture, this place really stands out and I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Service was quick, the food was delicious, and in my humble opinion worth every penny. The atmosphere was lively painted with the color palette of Puebla, playfully decorated with luchadores and champion Mexican Boxers. The play list was the best of the Gypsy Kings, and Tino whistled along as he worked. Gracias Don Tino, la comida estuvo muy rico.

Very disappointing. Spent $28 (including 20% tip bc guy was alone) ordered the lunch special and churros. Churros were very small but appetizing... the flautas tasted like 7-11 fast food. No flavor no cheese, no guac bc the "avocado was hard". This was very expensive. Not authentic in any way I would not eat here again

Amazing food Chef Tino was great! Very friendly and the food was so fresh!!! I highly recommend stopping here when you come to Clearwater beach!!
