Delicious, consistent, great service, and celiac friendly. Our family loves it here.
For us (a family of 4 with teens), it's not the best atmosphere when it's busy. That's ok, we just avoid those busy hours.
Highly recommend them!!
Vibes are on point with a unique taco bar experience, offering a menu packed with diverse flavors and an easy ordering system.

A la cart style tacos. Plus some bowls, chip plates and sides. Pork belly, duck, fish, mushroom, and cauliflower were all delicious. Almost everything on the menu is gluten free and celiac safe (except dessert and quesadillas) our server checked and there's a separate GF fryer for chips. QR style ordering or paper/pencil. Definitely wouldn't call it authentic tacos but you'd have to be pretty dull to think it would be. They do a good job with complimentary flavors.

Needed a place for lunch while in Tampa..it can be hard to find places to eat with gluten free options. This place had good reviews for gf options. The service was great. My server knew what celiac disease was and she was very helpful.

I had the chance to return to the restaurant after Adam reached out about my last experience, and I’m so glad I came back.
The service was amazing. Adam sent me a lovely email, making sure my next visit would be fantastic, and it really was!
As soon as we arrived, we were seated right away. Our server, James, was the best—so friendly and genuine! He made sure we had everything we needed, offered great recommendations, and even provided separate plates for my gluten-free meal; as we decided to try the Guacamole ( was so yummy) — I really appreciated he was really accommodating, as I’m trying to take care of my health.
The manager, Josh, was super caring, and I loved that another manager came by to check on us, too. I ordered the “al carbon,” and my husband went for a wet burrito. Everything was incredibly fresh, and the portions were huge! I also tried a dragon fruit mojito and Coco mojito,both of which were delicious.
I can’t thank the staff enough for their wonderful service. We’ll definitely be back soon for the happy hour deals and we hope to see James and Josh again! thanks again for making this for us!
With an impressive array of custom taco choices, unique murals, and a vibrant atmosphere, this spot delivers top-notch service and flavors!

Great tacos. Tons of options. Good prices. Crazy good service, I’ve literally never gotten better service anywhere on a Friday night. Felt like I was the only customer in the place, Ben really took great care of us. Gluten Free paradise by the way, you can eat just about everything here, and they have gluten free beer. Good vegan options too, the Thai Chili Tofu slaps.
A cozy taco spot perfect for date nights, combining a chill vibe with the excitement of its busy surroundings.

I am very much pleased with my stop at xtreme tacos.. it's a very intimate place for a taco spot.. I would come here on a first date most def.. it's quiet enough to talk.. yet in a area that is all about the hustle and bustle ..
The food here is amazing.. I think 2 tacos will have u right.. 3 is full.. 4 is straight gluteny.. but who care.. enjoy.. chips and salsa is like a pico.. but tasty. I will come back.. they do serve beer.. but not liquor.. but let's be honest.. who need tequilla and Hennessey with tacos?..
Health-focused vibes with a range of fresh, whole options make it a go-to for those looking to eat clean and feel great.

Always enjoy the health food option. Fresh and whole food is the key to healthy diet. I avoided processed foods that cause so much health issues. Gluten free and whole food plant based food options available. Be creative!!
The one star is because I really liked my server. Ultimately, I don’t come to restaurants soley for nice servers though. I also need the food and drinks to be good as well, and this restaurant tastes like it employees only white Americans that are gluten free by choice and trying to reduce sodium in their diet. The chips and quac and salsa trio were average….nothing you couldn’t easily find elsewhere for a few dollars cheaper. Drinks were also just okay, watered down quite a bit, but whatever. My issue came in with my entree. I ordered the pork enchiladas “with authentic Oaxaca mole.” And my husband ordered the steak fajitas. It didn’t take long for the food to come out, but while his plate sizzled, mine was didn’t even steam. No, my comically large dinner plate featured three smaller enchiladas, covered in at least 1 cup of melted and then cooled orange shredded cheese and a tablespoon on mole, as well as rice and beans that both lacked salt and some greens. The mole might have tasted good, but I couldn’t tell compared to the room temperature orange cheese I was fighting through to find the mole or my enchiladas. I don’t like to send a plate back, but after two bites of my room temperature enchiladas, I did. The biggest issue is the fact that the covered them in a 1 cm thick layer of orange cheese and then let to cool to the point that If cut through, it was just a little block of cheese with each bite. The server informed me that the dish shouldn’t be cold because they don’t freeze any ingredients but “maybe it was because the fajitas took longer to cook” and offered to put it under the warmer for me. Not wanting to be a huge bother, I accepted. The plate came back out a few minutes later scalding hot. However, the food was the same temperature. I didn’t send it back again.
I came here to celebrate my birthday and anniversary with my husband as well as having just started a new job the week prior. The chefs just don’t seem very experienced. The flavors are average, but that would’ve been okay if they could’ve just given me a warm meal. This is solely the chefs and line cooks responsibility, to time plates correctly so that all plates on one table go out at the same time and aren’t sitting in the kitchen or at the table waiting for the rest of the tables food.
Wouldn’t eat here again, wouldn’t recommend to a friend.
Expect solid flavors similar to Chipotle, but watch out for portion sizes when ordering online.

The staff is nice. Food is on par with Chipotle (good), although they seem to use an excess amount of rice per bowl. Ordering online (for delivery or pickup) tends to be more disappointing when it comes to portions and how well they prepare it :(. Gluten Free/vegan/vegetarian friendly.
Enjoy outstanding black bean soup, lump crab guacamole, and delicious tacos in a welcoming atmosphere that guarantees a great dining experience!

Amazing food! The black bean soup, lump crab guacamole, and Skirt Steak tacos were outstanding!! Eleni our server was probably one the nicest servers I’ve seen in a long time! I explained I was gluten free she went above and beyond to make everything 100% gluten free. I’ll definitely be back!
The food was excellent. Alesia was wonderful and very helpful. She took plenty of time to help ensure my daughter’s gluten-free meal was safe. Thank you so much!!!
