Editorial Review for Casa Tina – by Sara Kennedy
The Scene
The old downtown section of Dunedin has been refurbished, and along its Main Street are rows of restaurants and shops, including Casa Tina, a Mexican restaurant that has won rave reviews from various food critics. The restaurant, which is located in a storefront, has a personal feel, with a wild pink and aqua color scheme, pretty chairs covered in various colors and a big shelf of the owner's hot sauce collection running the length of one wall. It's an eclectic, artistic mix of decoration and is both charming and inviting.
The Food
On the menu are various Mexican specialties, quesadillas, burritos, Veracruz fish, enchiladas, several kinds of soups and salads. The owners stress freshness in food and preparation. Their slogan is: "Mexican grill, fresh and healthy and authentic," which seems to be the ticket, as their restaurant has become very popular among the locals.

This has to be the worst mexican restaurant I have ever been to. I strongly feel that all the good reviews have to be from people that have not been to Mexico and had real mexican food (no offense to anyone). I make all kinds of margaritas, strong and weak. But their margaritas were so watered down. The ice had already melted because of the slow service. My friend, who LOVES queso, mine to be exact, was disgusted. There was oil sitting on top of the queso. It was so solidified you coudn't scoop out a small amount to put on the stale tortilla chips. The burritos were served like it was a Lean Cuisine flatbread dinner??? Even the wait staff was incredibly rude and slow. We had to ask for our bill twice, and then go to the hostess to ask her to get our waiter so we could get our bill. They weren't very busy when I was there, maybe it was just a bad night....who knows, but I don't want to try it again. It was the worst $50 I ever spent. The only good thing about this place is location, location, location. My boyfriend would rather spend $50 at Taco Bell any day of the week. Across the street is Alfresco's, very good. Or Jollie Mon's, about 3 blocks away, DELICIOUS, talk about good queso!
Pros: location location location
Cons: terrible service, terrible food

For years I ate at Casa Tina and I always ate the same thing every time I went. The Mole Poblano was so rich with delectable sweet dark chocolate and then the spice from the peppers would kick in, it was a mouthgasmic experience that would make me sweat with pleasure. Now, however, I have learned much more about the offerings of my favorite cantina and I have learned to venture off in new directions. I have found that there are many, many exceptional items on the menu. Be adventurous, try something new!
