not impressed - Edit
Honestly not impressed with the vegan options, the food is so Tex Mex and the Puebla Mole tasted like melted chocolate with cinnamon, my friend ordered the Green mole and that wss tasty but he ordered enchiladas and they gave him the tortillas on the side also disappointed that for being a Mexican buisness and owned by a vegetarian you'd think they'd offer corn tortillas and have vegan cheese and sour cream. In addition we had to explain vegan to the waitress because she kept mentioning if we wanted bovine secretions on our food.
Pros: a few vegan options
Cons: super expensive , wait staff not knowledgeable about vegan, not authentic Mexican

Great Lunch in Dunedin! - Edit
We stopped in for lunch today and had the vegetarian Chili and the Mole combo! The wait staff made the necessary adjustments to make sure it was vegan. It was very different and very delicious. Can’t wait to come back!!
Pros: knowledgeable, friendly staff, very fresh ingredients!!!

I love rice and beans! - Edit
I am simple and really enjoy some Mexican rice and beans, which can be hard to find for vegans. Casa Tina's are vegan and delicious. The Starving Artist hits the spot. It's rice, beans, and tortillas. During a 2nd trip we got an El Burrito entree and Guadalajara Tacos. They're both large, filling meals.
The burrito on the kids menu can be made vegan and the portions are huge for a kids meal. It really could feed an adult.
My husband and I really like this place and will return every time we are in this area.

Best non-vegan Mexican Restaurant!!! - Edit
I'm kinda picky when it comes to Mexican food because I was around it a lot before going vegan, but this place is amazing! First of all, their beans and rice are vegan and pretty damn tasty! And for the entre, I had the Mole Poblano (a rich blend of chocolate and chilies, slightly sweet and spicy, served as veggie enchiladas). And my wife had the Mole Verde (a nutty sauce made from roasted pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and green tomatillos with a touch of jalapeno and garlic. served on top of a veggie mix). Both were very good!

a good time - Edit
Casa tina has good food and is a fun place to eat. There are different acts that perform different nights. They have aerial acts which are really cool. The food is pretty good and well priced. Not a lot of variety for vegans but I still enjoy this place.

I am updating this because they drastically raised prices. Before you would get unlimited chips now you have to pay extra. Meals also increased in price.
Cons: Prices went up

It's Always Been Good - Edit
This place has been around for a while and they are very accomodating to vegetarians. They have a nice amount of veg options and the dishes always have the freshest veggies in them. My favorite thing to order is the veggie burrito. The dishes come with a big dollop of sour cream that for whatever reason tastes so much richer and flavorful than any other sour cream I've had. They have traditional veg dishes as well as more adventurous ones. I learned how good cactus salad is by eating at Casa Tina's. I find that if you are eating dinner here any night, it will be very crowded. The best times to go are either for lunch or early dinner, that or a very late dinner. The only thing I can say that's negative about this place is that it can get very loud and crowded -- and they have also added entertainers who do acts while you are eating dinner, which I found to be a little bit weird but others seemed to enjoy it. Anyway, I love this place and recommend it!
Pros: great food, great service, nice atmosphere
Cons: can be loud, can be crowded

Great food, just not all veg - Edit
I only gave this restaurant 4/5 because it's not completely veg*n. They say right on the menu, though, to let your server know if you're vegan, and most items on the menu could be made vegan. And it was so good! They also have AMAZING virgin lime margaritas and the atmosphere is super fun.
Pros: Great food, Friendly staff, Good atmosphere
Cons: Meat also served
