A must try place when visiting treasure island! From the margaritas to the tacos to the people, this place is the real deal. The staff is always very helpful when it comes to the menu for recommendations. They also have rotating specials here which is nice to change it up from the regular menu. The dining area is small inside and they have a nice set up outside. Be sure to come early because this place is always busy. Everything we ate this time around was great! The queso in the trio dip was amazing and so was the tuna wraps. Here tacos are one per order so you can try multiple types. I did not get tacos this time around and with the tamale platter. I asked for no beans and I wish it came with more rice. Instead I got more salad which was hard to eat giving there is no dressing.

Mexican food is very easy to come by so always very hesitant to try a new place. Luckily, my family and I were pleasantly surprised. Delicious Mexican food right on gulf BLVD. had been referred to come here by good friends for many years and we were finally able to make way there last night. Margs were delicious as well the Mexican pizza and wet burrito. Def a good spot after you've been on the beach all day or like us on the boat all day. Would recommend to support them. A true hidden gem!

We love this place. It's always busy. You checkin in the back. You can get a cold drink or margarita while you wait. They even had margarita samples the night we were there. We sat inside at the large bar. Looking at all the tequila selections. I love the margaritas. We started with the chips and trio queso,salsa and guacamole. The mini is enough for 2. We split the chimichanga that was delicious. Best Mexican food around.

I was a bit uncertain about this place, as American Mexican food isn't my thing. I prefer restaurants that attempt authentic Mexican cuisine. I was totally mistaken. This food was outstanding. The wet burritos were so delicious, and the green sauce almost a religious experience. Staff and service were equally great. Had to go back twice to get my fix.

Met a colleague here for lunch on a Monday afternoon. There were only a few parking spots out front of the establishment, that were already taken, so we proceeded to the back of the restaurant. We noticed there were a handful of spaces directly in the back but they too, were full. There was a parking lot adjacent to the restaurant, that appeared to be shared overflow parking for the shopping strip center (which the restaurant was located in). Before parking there, we walked up and spoke to a restaurant employee just to make sure we could park there. He said "yes, as long as you're dining here". So, both my colleague and I proceeded to park our cars. We drove separately so we had two vehicles. We went inside and waited for a few minutes to be seated. The owner saw us standing there and assisted us with a high top table pressed up against the wall, shoulder to shoulder with anyone who were to walk by as that is the seating arrangement in there. About 5-7 minutes later, we had not been waited on so the owner came over again and took our drink order. Shortly after, our waitress came over and took our order. We each ordered "authentic" Mexican dishes, which were highly catered to the crowd that tends to dine in there. It was not authentic, and definitely something I could easily make (better) at home. Prices were typical for the beach. Our waitress seemed very busy and I did not see any other waitress there meaning she was probably attending to everyone that afternoon. WORST PART of our time there, was when we exited the restaurant and returned to our vehicles. When we approached the parking lot, we saw a parking enforcer ticking vehicles, including ours! We explained to him what the restaurant employee told us and the parking enforcer explained that the restaurant employee misinformed us. We both received a $40 ticket that day, that would turn into $60 within a short time if not paid immediately. So, our lunch meeting turned into an a very expensive "lunch" and we were shocked when the restaurant denied telling us this. Will not be returning here.

A meal at VIP is a must if you're in the Treasure Island area. This local spot is known for its delicious food, low prices, and strong but yummy margaritas.A friend and I stopped in for lunch on a Monday holiday and were promptly seated at the bar. FYI- this place is SMALL, so the bar is not seat yourself. A host will let you know which bar seats to sit in. The atmosphere is dive bar casual. You can come in your bathing suit and T-shirt if you want to. The bartenders here are always so friendly and efficient. I even recognize one from 5+ years ago!We quickly received our ice waters and two house margaritas, and ordered the Three Amigos Trio. I really enjoyed the freshness of the guacamole and salsa, but the queso was lacking flavor for me. For our entrees, my friend ordered a mini taco salad with chicken. It is so great that they have the mini option for some menu items. Who has room for a giant meal after all those chips anyway?! I ordered two carnitas tacos mexi-style. At $3 a piece, these are a steal!I always have to come to VIP when I'm home in St.Pete for the weekend. If you're looking for casual, delicious, and cheap, you can't go wrong with VIP!

Margaritas are bomb! Food is great! Servers are great! (The hostess with the fury moon boots was a little rude and could use an attitude adjustment) We love this place!

They are known for their margaritas, and they are fabulous ‼ They were closed for a while due to the hurricanes. Only open Thursday~Sunday Outside only with a portable restroom, very limited menu. The signature drinks became much smaller and really no service.Hope they can get back to what they were before the storms
