Absolutely amazing food! Great portions! Great amount of beans and rice! Definitely going to go back to try different tacos but the shrimp, chicken and pork were amazing and I barely eat pork but try it every place I go! Pork is definitely perfectly cooked!

I must admit it has been a long time, much too long since I have had some of Rene's FABULOUS food. Thankfully, we stumbled across each other at an event in Lakeland yesterday. He litterly parked right beside me. There was no way I even considered the plethora of choices. Rene did not disappoint! 2 FABULOUS tacos, one filet mignon, and a steak and bacon. Both were bursting with flavor and freshness. The salsa that came with it is the best I've had! Thanks, Rene, for serving up some elevated tacos that others should strive for! Hope to see you soon!

Rene's is always out of this world. They have the standards like carne asada but get wild with bone marrow tacos too, so there is something for everyone. Their meats and seafood are always fresh, and always delicious.
