Wicked Cantina Sarasota

Stopped by on a busy Friday afternoon, we waited about 15 minutes for a table. Our server was great - very prompt and attentive.

Indoor and outdoor seating is available. Large restaurant space, medium to loud noise level inside. Extensive menu including vegan and gluten free items. Happy hour for drinks available.

We ordered the wicked queso which was delicious but sort of a small serving for the price. I’m not sure if they make their own chips but they are absolutely yummy! I tried the Roasted Cauliflower Tacos and was quite disappointed. The dish was very bland and the cauliflower wasn’t really roasted. Nonetheless, we will definitely come back and try more items.

Had to try Wicked Cantina before leaving Sarasota (since it was always packed as I drove by) and it was worth the stop. My husband and I came on a Sunday evening and the service was quick. The staff are very friendly. The food was delicious. I ordered the shredded chicken power bowl and my husband ordered the wicked tacos. We both enjoyed our dishes. He ordered a house margarita on the rocks and said it was good, my house frozen margarita on the other hand was not enjoyable. It was very salty. Yes, the drink itself was very salty. For dessert we ordered the Mexican cannolis and was also very good. I highly suggest this restaurant. The atmosphere and the food was enjoyable. We will definitely be going back when we are in Sarasota. Also, they had a live band which was cool.

Had dinner here last night and it was a great time! Live music outside was not overwhelmingly loud like most places. We sat inside because it was so busy, and got seated right away. Our server (I forgot her name but she was pregnant) was phenomenal, very attentive and friendly. Clearly great at her job, I hope she gets paid maternity leave because she deserves it. The bartender last night made the absolute best Moscow mule I've ever had. The free salsa and chips they bring out was yummy, salsa was nice and spicy! Boyfriend got the spicy pig burrito and mentioned about 3 times how happy he was with it. I got blackened mahi tacos, wasn't too keen it was very fishy tasting but I didn't complain. Our waitress asked how I liked it at the end and when I told her, she took 60% of it off the bill even though I had eaten half of it, most servers couldn't care less so I appreciated her extra help there. We got key lime pie to go, which was delicious. Overall a great place. We would definitely be back if we lived here. Try the mule!

Fun visit for tacos and margaritas with the family! The food was pretty good! We got enchiladas, tacos and a burger - as well as chicken tortilla soup. The rice was a bit undercooked (crunchy) and the soup was a bit oily, but other than that - it was really tasty. The drinks were okay, but we expected better for a premium drink. Waited to be seated and then waited again for quite a while to get food. They are short staffed currently, so we understood. That being said, I wouldn’t recommend going if you are looking for a quick bite.

Vibe was excellent for a relaxing taco Tuesday - sometimes I don’t wanna party so Ross David was great at singing covers of Ed Sheridan, John Mayer, etc.

As for the food it was quickly brought out by their amazing staff. Free salsa and chips - and the salsa is not watery. It was freshly prepared and delicious. Definitely not authentic Mexican food. Food is more of a Tex-Mex.

Great Margarita.

If looking for cheap food and drinks for a crazy Taco Tuesday this is not that spot - and to be honest I am grateful it’s not.
