00:00What is up guys? It's your boy and I'm back with that fresh Florida tan
00:05You're gonna want to stay to the end of this video because somebody is gonna get some free stuff
00:11Now while we were in Florida
00:13I got tons of awesome footage of the Clearwater area including all the restaurants
00:17We went to and the food that we got and at the time I was just kind of shooting stuff
00:22to post on Instagram
00:23But I ended up with so much footage. I figured why not review the places we went?
00:29Unfortunately, I don't have a super dope Florida intro
00:32So I'm just going off the cuff in my office. That being said, we're gonna try something new
00:37But we're gonna do exactly that we're gonna review these places. So first up, we're going to Taco Bus in
00:43Clearwater
00:50The Clearwater Taco Bus is located street level in the Edge Hotel on Gulf Boulevard
00:56Now this area outside is normally packed with outdoor seating
00:59But you know, 20-20 problems
01:01Last time we were here on New Year's Eve, they had a DJ and whatnot
01:06It was a great use of the space
01:08Now I didn't grab one, but a $5 drink on the beach is not a bad deal
01:12Now the first thing you notice when you walk in is this dope ass bus
01:16I feel like if my restaurant would have had one it probably would have popped off way harder
01:21The lights working is pretty cool, too
01:23The menus are all on TVs, so they're clean bright and easy to read
01:27That's a GM right there shout out for letting me film even though you're in social distancing mode and things
01:32are moved all around
01:33Definitely appreciate it
01:35Also, your place gets bonus points for me if I can get grape or cherry sprite zero from the fountain
01:41This bad MF right here is the chimichanga
01:46I also got a little bit of the refried beans
01:49Some chips
01:50Some salsa
01:52Now they do make their own salsa too, which is pretty dope
01:54And this little guy up here, this not so little guy, is El Burrito Bowl
02:06First off, the burrito bowl was loaded with meat, rice, lettuce, and other stuff as you can see
02:13It's not just lettuce with a tiny little bit of other stuff
02:16It's a lot of other stuff with a little bit of lettuce
02:19Now the green salsa, that's their hot sauce
02:22It was definitely a step up from the red salsa
02:24But it was still fairly mild, maybe low into medium spectrum
02:27But it had a great flavor to it
02:29It was almost like a spicy chimichurri
02:32And chimichurri is amazing
02:34Now the red salsa was also very delicious
02:37It was the right consistency for chips and for you to put on your taco
02:41So that way it wasn't too thick or anything like that
02:44But it wasn't too thin either, it was nice
02:47This bad boy here was the chimichanga
02:50It's great as you can see inside of it
02:52It's loaded with meat, cheese, beans
02:56It was really great
02:57And my favorite part about it was how the flour tortilla was fried
03:01It had a nice crispiness to it
03:03But when you bit through it, it was still nice and soft
03:05Now if I'm not mistaken, they started off as a food truck
03:08And this here is a little tribute to their food trucks
03:11Here are the papos
03:13Now I'm not sure what the difference between these and nachos are
03:17But I'll tell you this
03:18These are like overpowered nachos
03:21There's a ton of steak on here and other toppings
03:24And you can tell I got the steak in my burrito as well
03:26Because the steak was so juicy
03:29It's probably the best steak that I've ever gotten from
03:32any Mexican-related restaurant at all
03:34It really was great
03:36Now the burrito is similar to the chimichanga
03:39But you know it's got lettuce and other stuff in it
03:41This here was a shredded chicken empanada
03:45And the dough on this, the pastry part, fantastic
03:48The meat was even better
03:50It just really is a great item
03:51And as you can see here, I got banned from the restaurant
03:54I'm not allowed to come back
03:56I'm hoping that maybe I can appeal that
03:58Maybe they'll see this video
03:59And as on our visit here, social distancing was in effect
04:03To sum it up, there's a reason that people in the Tampa area love this place
04:07The food comes out fast food fast
04:09But sit down restaurant quality
04:11And you can eat like a king for half the price of traditional sit down places
04:15We literally spent four times the amount of money for half as much food
04:21Right a block away from here
04:22You can afford to eat good
04:24And you can afford to bring your families if you have kids, things like that
04:27I definitely recommend this place and I will be back
04:32Now before we get back to this drawing
04:34I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart
04:36I honestly didn't think that anyone would watch or care about my channel
04:40But I wanted to keep cooking during all of this insanity we've been living through
04:44So I hit a hundred subs a few weeks ago
04:46And I wanted to give away that second vital way of cooking towards just to say thank you
04:50And since then the channel has just been snowballing
04:54At first, you know, I'd get like 10 subs a week
04:57You know, you know 30 to 60 views a day
05:00And I thought that was pretty cool
05:01And it's just growing faster and faster and faster
05:04My last video is only a couple days old
05:06And it looks like it's going to be the first video that I've ever posted
05:09That's going to cross the thousand view mark
05:11You know, and I'm just a small guy
05:13I don't have millions of followers
05:15I don't make any money off of YouTube
05:17But cooking for you guys has really helped me stay positive
05:20Helped me stay focused on becoming a better cook
05:23During, you know, just this crazy time
