In April 2015, the ribbon was cut at Besito Mexican Restaurant's grand opening, introducing extraordinary Mexican cuisine and customer service to Tampa. Sometimes a new restaurant has a rough start and works out the kinks later; other times, it is full of promise but falls flat in time due to complacency. However, Besito, located at WestShore Plaza, has succeeded in consistently delivering top-notch food and service two years later. Highly rated online, this Mexican restaurant receives glowing reviews from customers:

  • “I was so impressed with this restaurant. Our server was fantastic, and the food was delicious. The Sopa de Tortilla was the best I have ever had. The layering of ingredients without excessive seasoning allowed me to savor the flavors. It is so nice to experience fresh, locally-sourced food prepared with excellence! I will be back.”
  • Great food and even better service. Our server was very attentive and gave us great suggestions… Our food was well-seasoned and very fresh. Definitely a do-over!
  • “What a wonderful experience! The food was amazing, the atmosphere was just perfect, and they even left us with a bag of yummy cinnamon and sugar sticks for dessert. I would highly recommend this place.”
