Wicked Cantina Bradenton Beach

We went for dinner on a Friday night, and we're able to sit out on the patio and listen to the live music. We all tried the house margaritas on the rocks, which were both tasty and strong. I had the Pirk Carnita Street tacos, which had delicious, spicy flavor. My sister enjoyed the beef enchiladas, and my mom had the Wicked Bowl. Everything was good well and came out quickly. It was nice to get table salsa and chips as well! It's definitely a fun Mexican restaurant.

Amazing restaurant, great food and drinks. Huge plus that it’s right across the street from the beach, you can watch the sunset. I came with my mom and they were super cool about (possibly borderline annoying) modifications we had, it was no problem for them. Our server Dennis was amazing, made us feel right at home. He told us his favorites, I did his favorite which was the carnitas tacos. I see why they are his favorite, I eat like a toddler and I ate all of my food which is rare! Live music was also a plus. Highly recommend!

Excellent location and amazing restaurant.
Best I’ve ever been too.
Amazing staff. Friendly and welcoming.
Jae C is amazing could not ask for a more amazing person to look after me.
Amazing venue all around.
The menu is amazing.
Terrific breakfast menu.
Awesome happy hour and the patio entertainment is excellent.
Right across from the beach; can’t ask for more.

We had a large party of 14 tonight. Had to wait a bit because it was pretty busy. There was a live band outside playing.
Staff were very friendly and especially our waitress. I don't remember her name. She was amazing though!
Food came out and it was so delicious! Highly recommend coming here while visiting the island!

The chips and salsa are addicting. Perfect after a day at the beach. Our party had one gluten and dairy free person, one vegetarian and one person who didn't like spicy foods. Kodie was our waiter and he handled our dietary concerns like a pro. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and made appropriate suggestions for each of us. Everything was great. The food, service and live music made it a fun evening for the whole family.

Great waitress. Some of the best chips and salsa ever. Highly recommend the tacos.

I had two friends visiting from out of town and we decided to check out this restaurant. I've driven by it many times but never tried it, so I was curious. Our server was very friendly and brought us drinks very fast. I ordered the shrimp enchiladas and they were delicious! My friends had a powerbowl with pork, and a pork and beef enchiladas dish. They said it's the best Mexican food they recall having. The prices were super reasonable and they even had live music. I definitely recommend and I'll be back for sure!

Greatest margarita I have ever had! The food was amazing as well! Loved the atmosphere and the service was top notch. A definite must if you are traveling to Anna Maria Island!

Excellent spot our first night in town!
A much needed Margarita to start the evening was very good!
Salsa was very good...one of my favorites from anyplace we've been.
The Mild Pig Burrito and the Street Tacos were great choices...and the Charro Beans?
Wow!! Great Beans!!
Good sized portions as well.
Ask for some of their Wicked Sauce!

We took a longer walk from the beach rental to journey to this restaurant. When I seen the amount of people at the restaurant, I knew it had to be a winner. And, it was certainly a winner. We asked for the next available table and was immediately seated inside. The long wait were for the people wanting to be seated outside. Even though it was extremely busy, our waitress was attentive. We all ordered the quesadillas. I was expecting the traditional tiny bite size portion. We all ended up taking leftovers because it was a hardy meal.

I loved this place when I was visiting the island. They have a great bar and delicious food. We had tacos, guacamole, and a carnitas platter, which were flavorful and good. There is a happy hour every day that is also very hard to beat! I highly recommend coming here, the decor isn't much, but they have a lovely outdoor dining area.

The service was outstanding.
We started out with margaritas and chip and salsa which was very good.Salsa had some heat to it.
I ordered the Caritas tacos....Yumm
Waiting for sun to set to have a perfect dinner.
Can't go wrong here.
We will be back!!

On the way to Bayfest and stopped
In for lunch. It took awhile for a server to acknowledge (approx 15 min) but once she did service was fabulous from that moment on.

There were four of us in the party and we all ordered differently. The power bowl was flavorful and delicious! I ate every last bite. The grilled grouper was enjoyed by my mom, the burrito was enjoyed by my father and the hubby of course got the fish tacos....his go to just about everywhere we go. It was a great meal. The frozen mango margerita was absolutely refreshing!

The atmosphere was nice being outside. They had love music. The beach is across the street. Prices very reasonable! We will definately be back and recommend.

I ordered the chicken tortilla soup and it was the best I’ve ever had! “Souper” delicious. Our server was great, very charismatic and attentive.

I went here on the Monday before the 4th of July holiday, found that it was surprisingly NOT busy for once, and thought we'd get served pretty quickly. Not the case. It's normally packed here with lines out the door, but even though it was half empty on both the patio and inside at the time we came, it took us 45 minutes to be seated. We decided to get drinks at the bar and though the service was a little slow because there was only one bartender, the drinks were delicious.
We sat on the patio and enjoyed live acoustic music with a pretty good singer as the restaurant started to get pretty busy with customers. The service was a little slow to get chips and salsa, coming out right before our meal, but they were warm and the salsa was good. Getting served more drinks took a while too. I think they might've been a little understaffed for it being a holiday weekend.
Our food was DELICIOUS! My boyfriend ordered the Quesadilla with Grilled Ribeye Steak, which was generous in size and really tasty. I ordered the Cowboy Brisket Tacos and they might be the best crispy tacos I've ever had! I'm not sure if it was the jalapeño slaw or the chipotle aioli, but something made them EXTREMELY spicy, but not enough to make me stop wolfing them down. Both entrees came with a side of rice and beans.
We are locals and will definitely be coming back repeatedly!

If you enjoy Tex Mex, then this is your place. It is true Tex Mex food. The indoor seating is smaller than the outdoor seating but the service is the same. All of the staff were working together to make sure all their customers were taken care of during our visit. The place was clean and I watched as staff would quickly sweep up any mess on the floor left by themselves or their customers. The food came out relatively quick considering they were mildly busy. We enjoyed the chips and salsa. The chips were crispy and the salsa was just above mild but not medium with good flavor. The fish and chips were good. The shrimp fajitas were good but I had to add salt and pepper to bring out more flavors. The Mexican Cannoli dessert was AWESOME! The only thing I can suggest is add a small cup of chocolate sauce to dip your Cannoli. Overall I recommend this place for great Tex Mex food 👍.

This was delish and one of our fav dinners during our stay. The mahi tacos were very flavorful. The house margaritas were fantastic exactly how I like naturally skinny without using some super sweet mix and using fresh juice instead. Definitely a spot to check out.

Brisket tacos was a first. I want more. The salsa was fresh and the chips were warm and slightly salt. I didn't stop till they were gone. Service was fast.

The only reason I scored 4 on the food was the wicked burrito was just warm not hot inside. It however, was tasty. Chicken fajitas very good and food was plentiful. Definitely a great place to eat!

What a wonderful place and here's my succinct little review.
The food is delicious, the spicy pig burrito, amazing, the fish in the fish and chips is so moist and tasty you might think they tease it a little in the back before they bring it to you.
The service was fantastic, prompt and friendly. Their salsa, that comes with the free chips & salsa, is some of the best I've had and they make it in house. And let's not forget the best part, the beer is ICE COLD!
Highly recommended you give this place a try and we'll definitely be back.
