El Tio Carlos - Bradenton

The food is always great. Their hot sauce is the best. Food comes out quick. Service is bilingual. Crowded have someone grab a table anywhere.

This place used to be called Maria's. The recipes still seem to be the same. I always get the Chicken Tacos. I've been patronizing this spot for 23 years, and sometimes come to the Red Barn JUST to eat here. The seasoning used for the tacos are a deep red, it's chicken Tinga flavor. It's not Tex-Mex, it's not bland, and it's not what you usually find at American Mexican restaurants. It's shredded chicken in a red chipotle pepper sauce made from tomatoes, onions, adobo sauce with chilis, and spices. It's SO GOOD HERE. The tortillas are made fresh. Make sure to ask for lettuce, tomato, sour cream get it all the way then add the Pico and put it on there, along with a little red, green, avocado sauce. It's heaven; I love it. Best Tacos in Bradenton-Sarasota area that I've ever had. Everywhere else pales in comparison that I've I tried thus far in 23 years living here.

Terrible food and expensive prices only can pay with cash had to go to ATM and pay extra fee for cash. Should be closed down

I want to bathe in their menudo. Okay , maybe not actually but it did slap. It was full of tripe pieces and I washed it down with some refreshing horchata. This is located in the center of the Red Barn flea market and the flag decor make it hard to miss. Definitely eat here when you're getting hungry from shopping around hehe.

Great good, always have to stop to eat when I am at the Red Barn.
