Mari
Mexican Tacos
The place
Mari Mexican Tacos holds a perfect ★5.0 across 188 reviews on West Kennedy — statistically the best-rated restaurant in our entire Tampa guide, and it doesn't even have a website.
A perfect 5.0 across 188 reviews is nearly impossible — one grumpy reviewer ends it. Mari has kept the streak alive on West Kennedy Boulevard by treating every order like the streak depends on it, which it does. The tacos come out with the kind of consistency that suggests someone in that kitchen checks every plate.
The Westshore business district location means a lunch crowd of office workers who could eat anywhere within a mile — and this is where they line up. No website, no promotion; a perfect rating in a competitive corridor is the entire marketing department.
What to expect
Counter service, lunch rush from noon to 1:30 on weekdays. Tacos and quesadillas anchor the menu. Slightly above taqueria pricing — worth it. Plaza parking off Kennedy.
