“We tried this place we find on yelp and had great reviews. First it is very cute inside and you are welcome right as you walk inside . I wanted to try pupusas and sopes that I have never tried before . I got a steak sope and it was just delicious , so were the pupusas . The food is excellent! The service is great ! The prices are also great for the quality of the food ! Definitely worth every penny ! Can't wait to go back soon !“
“Authenticity is hard. The crushing weight of continuity and expectation is a pall on Sarasota. Retirees and vacationers want the same thing they get from every Outback, Applebee's, and Waffle House anywhere else. But there are places, places that honor an audience of workers and laborers that keep the economy of outsiders humming. Bitia's Taqueria honors both, at least those who want something more than a steak. Nestled in a plaza in south Sarasota amongst a Chilean restaurant, and British and Scottish pub, and a crazy hair joint - Bitia's is 10 tables and a counter. Their open kitchen shows tacos warming and an endless supply of delicious papusas on a flattop as customers wander in. The menu is on a screen above the counter and in Spanish first. When my wife and I walked in, we stood out like a sore thumb amongst locals who had come for a Sunday lunch and ordered en Español. This is the type of place that if you feel alien - you have found something real. The tacos are legit. Corn shell tortillas with incredible meat fillings and the absolute minimum otherwise - raw white onion and cilantro. The salsa verde and roja is made available to you and both are great. The pupusas - the papusas! Masa grilled with caso fresco - plentiful caso fresco, along with beans or meat: extraordinary. Served with an exquisite curtido - nothing in UTC can compare. You don't even need to go far. Just go.“
