  Combo #11 is where is at! You get 5 street tacos and a soda plus they always throw in one extra taco for about $10 bucks! I always call my order in and it's never took longer than 10-15 minutes be ready, no matter weekday or weekend! Service is always friendly, and I come grab tacos here on average 1x a week!
  
  As far as the other food I've only had the nachos and a burrito, and the carne asada tacos are still my go to meal.
  
  Romis is def my favorite place to get tacos in the Brandon area! Great flavor and very consistent.
  
  *If you like spicy the red sauce will be your go to, I tend to stick to the green one and a pinch of red and that is just perfect over my tacos!*

  We were beyond excited to try this restaurant. The reviews convinced me that this Mexican restaurant was worth it, however it was not. I love horchata but this for me was one of the worst. It was gritty and thick and tasted of actual perfume. I ordered the combo 1 which included 2 tacos and a tostado. I got steak and chicken. These were the most bland meats with absolutely no flavor...literally none. There was also no flavor to the salsa verde. It was basically watered down spices.
  
  Now my husband got the chorizo and the flavor was out of this world. Wish I would have gotten those.
  
  I was so disappointed.  I probably won't go back. We took pictures but the pictures look way better than they tasted. I'm from Chicago and I know good Mexican food.....sigh. The search continues.

  Been eyeing this place for over a year since it opened and met family for dinner here the other night. I rarely eat in Brandon unless time or my dinner partners force me to, but ethnic joints like this get my attention and are added to my mental to try list. No idea why I waited so long. I really loved the ambiance of this place. There are colorful murals of Xochimilco and Chitzen Itza, and other famous places from Mexico. The handcrafted furniture and blasting music adds so much to the flair of the place. No worries about ability to hear others at your table though, as the blasting of the music is outside as you're parking your car in the more than adequate sized side and front lots. I came here based on rave reviews left by others, and as such, skipped past the rest of the Mexican cooked foods and ordered straight from the ridiculously underpriced Combo meals. In fact, everyone at our table ordered from the Combo meals or ordered a la carte Tacos. The tacos are sized to what you'd find at Capital Tacos, about 4 inches wide in diameter but stuffed with fresh cilantro and onions. Others at my table went for the Asada (steak) for which there's a surcharge but I wanted to see how well they could master my favorite taco fillings: lengua (beef tongue), carnitas (pulled pork), and chicharron (fried pork rinds). My Combo 11 came with 5 orders of tacos but as another wrote, they really did toss in a 6th for free. And of course it came with soda, which really offset the saltiness of the chicharron and carnitas. It's always funny have some people with timid palates do a side eye "eww" to things with which they aren't familiar. I definitely had that response upon explaining what chicharrons were. However, after nudging my friends to at least TRY the chicharrons, it was a move I definitely regretted.. as I found myself reduced to only half a taco with chicharrons instead of two. Sometimes ignorance is bliss, and you should only offer AFTER you've had the majority of your meal. When will I learn? Ratings wise, the lengua was "meh", the carnitas were "solid", and the chicharrones were "amazing". So amazing, I hope people don't order it based on my review. I would be very irritated if people started ordering what it going to be my standby filling. Like really irritated... to the point where I hope they find their own taco place...
  
  Service wise, it was a bit puzzling. Our waitress was really young. Perhaps, 22? There weren't that many tables full at 630pm on a  Sunday, and she was all over the place and quite slow. But I can forgive that. Serve me my tacos and then go away, but at least bring me my water and napkins first. If you have space, make sure to make space for the sopapillas. They disappeared within seconds. I can't wait to go back again. They had a menu of 5 or 6 caldos (hearty soups). If you're familiar with them, you'll know that like ramen or pho, these bowls of soups are meals unto themselves, and I'm a sucker for pozole.
  
  Did I mention that my meal for 3 people was a whopping $34?

  On the quest for good tacos across the land, traveling to visit family in FL, we found this place. It had mixed reviews, but it looked like enough good ones to venture off the highway. Definitely a little mom and pop place, but bigger than what I thought it would be. They also do a lot of carryout business it seems.
  
  I the guacamole was pretty good, a bit heavier than i am used to with onions and cilantro in it. But they didn't over power it.
  
  My kids got tacos, and they liked them and everything looked pretty good.
  
  I got an a la cart burrito and Chile relleno. I asked about the relleno, because they do vary a  lot from place to place. These guys make them.the way I love them, stuffed with cheese, dipped in batter with egg and deep fried. My burrito was good, but I guess I was expecting the beans and.rice on the side. It was all rolled into it like a stroller. Not bad, just not how I was expecting it to come.
  
  A+ on.the chile relleno! I guess I'd give them a barely 4 stars, but service was good, and so was the food, and 3 of us got lunch for under $30.
  
  I wouldn't go far out of my way l, but for sure worth checking them out if you are close.

  Romi's is okay... I really like there carne Asada tacos but not impressed with the rest of their food.  I have eaten take out twice.. price was a little higher than other Mexican restaurants in my opinion
