The atmosphere, food and service was excellent. I would go back again.

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!

Our server Logan R. Was an absolute delight and informative server. I will definitely recommend and I will also be back.

Unbelievable! We travel and eat out quite a bit this is an extraordinary Find. Logan R was our server his enthusiasm and suggestions for the Pork Verde chimichanga was perfect! We enjoyed the house Margarita exceptionally well crafted.... 2 of them... This will be on our Sarasota hit list every time we're in town. If you miss this one it's your own fault :)

Crap food. Crap owner. Serious you don't let someone that fights for your country at 19 sit at a bar who's not drinking ? Your one of the few crap bars in Florida that does that. You would think your food would be better with the approach but NOT. Stay away. Go to Jalisco if you want good stuff.

This is our go-to Mexican restaurant in Sarasota. The margaritas are as good as I’ve ever had…fresh, not too sweet; the House and the Stingray both top-notch. Salsa and chips are fresh and tasty; guacamole a little bland but better with the salsa. We’ve enjoyed the pork enchiladas, pork chile verde dinner, carnitas tacos, and grouper tacos…my favorite. Service is good and the atmosphere okay…nothing special. You might enjoy the outdoor dining if the weather is good and the music not too loud.

I was in the Sarasota region about every other week for a year (Feb 2021 through Feb 2022). During that time, I ate at Wicked Cantina several times. Since I was traveling alone, I usually ate at the bar. Chips and salsa were almost always offered (one time they were not), and I usually had the Bar Taco Trio and would have one chicken, one beef and one grouper taco. This is an appetizer, but it usually filled me up. The food was delicious, and the pickled onion condiment on the tacos was outstanding. I was able to eat, have a beer and watch sports at the bar. What could be better?

Our meals were amazing. Our server, Staci was amazing as well. They were very busy and Staci was on top of it all, never had to ask for anything. We will definitely re visit and highly recommend.

We had the privilege of having Christina as our server. She was amazing. I would go back just for the great service she gave us. The food was excellent. You can taste the freshness. My first bite into the beef enchiladas and I was already craving for the next time we go. There will definitely be a next time very soon. All around great experience.

We had the best meal, drinks and server (Christina) at Wicked Cantina Sarasota!! Highly recommend!! As we were being seated, warm chips and the most amazing salsa were served. Sorry forgot to take pictures of the excellent meal. We will be back!!!
