Dean's South Of The Border

This is a classic SW FL cantina. The service is good and the food is better than it needs to be. Thank god we still have places that allow smoking in the outdoor seating areas! For all the haters that complain about the smoking, go back to your homes and hide under your bed while you wait on your 12th COVID booster. Don’t bring children to an adult bar.

A good Tex Mex restaurant in Punta Gorda. Some great specials including $5 margarita Monday (frozen are $9.50) and an early bird menu from 4-6. Good salsa. Pleasant service. The restaurant is very clean.

Most days of the week they have sushi. Their lunch specials include taco salad, tacos and enchiladas, sloppy Joe, and chicken sandwich. They are one of our go tos for lunch. We especially like their haddock fish sandwich on Fridays! They have this on their early bird 4-6pm menu, too. Vegetarian options: I had the taco salad with roasted vegetables as the meat option and it was very good!

Always our go to place when we check out other places and do not like them. We always know we will have a good time and good food at Dean’s.

Bad food, fun place. Servers standing around and I had to buss my own dishes after quite a while.
