Circo

First time trying this place out. We ordered a variety of their tacos and the chips and queso for an appetizer. They have a pool table, large bar and lots of outdoor seating. Our server was great and the food came out in minutes. My only complaint is that the chips and salsa have to be purchased.

Circo in downtown Sarasota is such a fun spot if you love tacos, bourbon, and a lively atmosphere. The restaurant has a playful circus theme, which makes the space feel energetic and unique. The tacos are the real highlight creative, flavorful, and made with fresh ingredients. I especially enjoyed the Mongolian Beef and Thai Shrimp tacos, but there’s something for everyone, including vegetarian options. Their cocktails are just as impressive, with a great bourbon selection and margaritas that perfectly complement the food. The staff is welcoming, attentive, and always make you feel at home. Whether you stop by for happy hour, Taco Tuesday, or a casual night out, Circo delivers a memorable dining experience that keeps you coming back.

We were greeted as soon as we walked in. It is seat yourself but we hadn’t been there so we weren’t sure where we wanted to sit. E had lots of questions. We were told about Happy Hour specials. We asked about the tacos. Our server ate there every day and had tried all the tacos so she could help us decide what we would like. We ordered margaritas. I had the house Margarita and my husband had the Bourbon Margarita. We loved them. We tried the guacamole with goat cheese as an appetizer. And then we tried the tacos. We ended up trying 5 of their tacos - all the Happy Hour ones (B1G1F, mix and match) and the Cheesy Chicken. I liked the Mongolian and the Thai Shrimp ones best of the 5 we tried. We will be going back!!!

Fun, fresh, and fabulous spot to hang out! This place has an awesome vibe and an even better taco selection—from Mongolian beef to Korean pork belly to Thai shrimp. And of course, they’ve got the classics like the "Gringo" for when you're craving the basics. The margarita was spot-on, and Taco Tuesday is a real treat: buy one, get one free! Plus, happy hour also offers BOGO on select tacos. Great flavors, great deals—definitely worth checking out.

I just wanted to say that I accidentally stumbled upon this place at the right time. Their happy hour is amazing, birria tacos & consume was on point and trust me I’ll say if birria sucks, bc some places don’t do it right. Nicolette was an amazing bartender/server, her personality is amazing and she just did everything right. I will happily go back here whenever I’m in Sarasota, and it’s because of her. Food 10/10, drinks 9/10, service 500/10.

4.5- almost perfect! Talk about some good non traditional Mexican tacos, this is the spot! While I don’t like places that do a a-la-carte this spot was reasonably priced. The chef deserves a 5 star all the way . Highly recommend checking it out! (Only reason it didn’t get a 5 star is because they brought out my husbands food first and I waited a couple of minutes for mine and that is a big no no.

One taco was very dry and the other one was insanely spicy. The queso used to be better as well. Used to love their tacos. Server was very nice though. I could only eat like 1 bite of each taco. Left feeling pretty disappointed
