Kick ass! This was yummy and amazing. The vibe of the restaurant is modern yet very comfortable. Not pretentious at all. We had the Tyaluda app (a yummy Mexican style pizza but on a tortilla). This was both of our favorite item. Perfect and was easily a meal on its own. My BF had the chili rellonos for his main - 2 stuffed poblanos. It was delicious and a very generous portion. I had the salad and it was fresh, yummy and HUGE. We took half of everything home for dinner. Amazing value. He had a classic margarita and I had the cardamargarita. Both were very good but his was awesome. A perfect margarita. We did Churros for dessert. They came with a chocolate dipping sauce and a vanilla. These were very yummy but the center was a little moist still. Yummy all the same but not exactly like the classic churro. Overall we LOVED it here and will definitely be back. Service was great. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. Great job Plant City!

I'm a huge Matthew Kenney fan; have eaten at at least a dozen or so of his restaurants or collaborations so I was really excited to try, but the food fell really flat. I'm wondering if they had an off day or something because I have never had a bad experience at a Matthew Kenney restaurant. The service was great. Our server was awesome, though I do think she should have called the bartender out for making a 60% full martini. I used to be a bartender and I never would have served someone just over half a drink, especially when they're paying ~$20 for it. If I didn't put enough in the shaker, I would do the right thing and make it again. The nachos were excellent. This and the interior design are why I'm giving 3 stars (and because it pains me to diss a vegan business). The chorizo tacos were a bit soggy and tasted overwhelmingly like black licorice. I couldn't have more than two bites. I took the rest home where more people tried it, agreed, and they ended up in the trash. I have sent food back 1-2 times in my life and wish I did this time. The burrito was just okay, a little bland. The dorados tacos were also just okay. I had planned on ordering the ice cream but chose not to after trying the food. I still got to try it when our table ordered an affogato and I was glad I didn't order it--the ice cream tasted like the lowest quality vegan vanilla ice cream you can get at any supermarket. All of the food had an amazing presentation. Overall I was disappointed. I will eat any vegan food but even I found it to be inedible.

The food at Besina was 10/10 delicious! And it's vegan?! Plant City has several great plant-based options. For sit down, we got to pick between 3 or 4 options and decided on Besina. It had its own specific seating area outside. The waterfront views and downtown vibes in their outdoor seating area are fantastic. My husband and I ordered the Tlayuda to share. It was enough food for the two of us. Looking around at the other tables as well, the portions here are huge! The Tlayuda was a pizza with a crispy tortilla for a base. It had a saucy jackfruit as the main topping. It was flavorful and juicy. The avocados and cashew crema were also very tasty toppings. This dish was such a fun concept, and a hit for both of us. The churros were good, but the chocolate sauce that came with it was the real star! I haven't had a vegan version of this before so I was super excited for it. It did not disappoint. The tiramisu donut however was not what I was hoping for. It was a cream filled donut. It didn't taste like a tiramisu to me so I wasn't a fan. It was decent for a donut though! The churro latte was fantastic. I thought it was overpriced at first, but the drink was HUGE! I got it with pistachio milk, which I've never had before, and I highly recommend it. I really wish I lived closer to here because this place would be my go-to so quick! Highly recommend visiting Plant City and Besina. Especially if you're vegetarian or vegan but even if you're not! I traveled from Boston and honestly it's so worth it. Make the trip!
