Armando's Cocina Mexicana - Sarasota

If you want something authentic, it's about as good as it gets around here

Three strikes, you 're out. The food is decent, yes, but unfortunately, the waiting time for the food is utterly ridiculous. The latest of 3 encounters was myself and 1 other person seated at 1:15 PM in an EMPTY restaurant. Not one other customer present. Chips vanished in 5 minutes. No refill offer. Meanwhile, 25 minutes goes by and we are inclined to ask what 's taking so long. It 'll be ready soon . Another 20 minutes goes by and finally our food comes, which was a sandwich and 4 tacos. Wow! 45 minutes to make 4 tacos and a sandwich?!?! Absurd. No apology, no comp ', no nada. Addendum: Armando 's has since stepped up their game. Wait time is still a little on the long side, but it 's actually worth the wait. I don 't know if they got a new chef and/or owner, but all ingredients are fresh and prices are reasonable. While the above (old) review only got 1 star, I 've given it 5 out 5. Kudos to whoever took control and made the changes.

Idk about service or wait times but I got carry out and I wasn’t disappointed. Good food and I really enjoyed their burrito and tacos. Will be going back

Super fresh and delicious!!! I don't know why this place got bad reviews, but I would definitely recommend it before you knock it!!

Good food! definitely worth the waiting time! (only about 10-15min) fresh chips and salsa! after Kovid precautions! delicious food, definitely a 10/10 will come back.
