The Most Delectable Mexican in Orlando

Los Paises

★★★★☆ 3.8 (4)

"The food is bussin. We had catering from here and I was very impressed. The carne asada is amazing and the al pastor is delicious. Habanero salsa was perfectly spiced. No complaints. Straight fire."

La Fonda de Ocoee

★★★★★ 4.6 (41)

"I stopped by to give them a try since they popped on a Google search for food around the area. They are a small business in a plaza with inside seating. They offered various lunch specials or dinner entrees that you can see up on the wall to give you an idea of what you may like to try. The 2 people in the restaurant are attentive and preparing the order did not take long. I ordered the shredded chicken tacos special and came with rice and beans. I got chips and salsa as well since I dined in. The salsas were good, the tortillas a bit greasy and it needed a bit more protein per taco, just an observation. It is a good choice if you are looking for a restaurant around the area. Keep in mind the charge a minimal credit card fee that I caught while checking out. It did not bother me, since I was there to get food. Fyi."

Cantina's Mexican Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (132) • $$

"Nice treat. Ordered a beer at the bar and received chips and some good spicy salsa to boot. Like the good 'ol days when there were bar favors everywhere"

Don Julio - Chickasaw

★★★★☆ 4.1 (814) • $$

"Best dang Chimichanga in Orlando Pretty dang good fried ice cream as well & don't even get me started on the margaritas. They don't hold back on the liquor"

Chilangos

★★★★☆ 4.2 (121) • $

"I love Chilangos, been coming here or ordering takeout for the past 6 years, and they are typically on point. As you can see from my photos, I've tried a few of the different foods from the menu, and all have been pretty tasty. I especially like the American tacos. Which is weird to say since I'm from California and usually prefer street tacos lol. I had the horchata for the first time yesterday, and it was TO DIE FOR! The only problem was that it was the largest drink I've ever had, so I was unable to finish it.Every time I've gone inside to pick up my order, the cashier and server have been polite, attentive, and ready to help. The restaurant has traditional decor, and you truly feel comfortable coming in. I'll continue to come here as long as I'm around!"

El Pueblo Mexican Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.5 (267) • $

"I have driven by El Pueblo Mexican Restaurant quite a few times and always wanted to stop by. It is located in a shady looking shopping plaza that is in need of not only a face-lift, but this shopping plaza could stand with a good cleaning and picking up the garbage strewn throughout the parking lot.Where others might want to avoid a shopping plaza like this, this Mexican restaurant being in here made me want to try it even more. I have long held onto the belief that the best Mexican food comes from these little hole-in-the-wall type places. The staff here was friendly and enhanced my overall experience. I ended up going with two tacos and a gordita. For the tacos, I went with a carne asada taco and a chorizo taco and for the gordita, I went with the carnitas filling. I would say that the carne asada was my favorite protein and sadly, I thought the chorizo was the weakest. Chorizo is usually my favorite, the chorizo here was just too strong of, I don't know, maybe too much worcestershire (that's the impression that I got). But still, all in all this was a great stop.I would definitely recommend this hole-in-the-wall type restaurant and I will be back. I will give it five stars."

Tin & Taco - Sodo

★★★★☆ 4.4 (357) • $$

"Finally came to my second location of Tin & Taco with some friends. I loved my original location, so I came into this with high hopes. The location is super cool. It's inside the same building as and shares a dining room with SoDough, another banging restaurant. So it's actually perfect for friend groups who are in the mood for different foods. Service was good. It's purely counter service, but the employees helped me build the perfect meal out of my complicated desires. I started off simple, though, with the chips and dip platter. This was a giant serving of chips and three giant cups of dips, salsa, queso, and some guac. The chips were perfectly crisp and seasoned. The dips were delicious. A very good app for the table. I went on to order two three-packs of tacos. I will say, some of their tacos are like, barely different from each other. So after decoding what ingredients were the most bang for our buck in each taco category, we build the perfect combo.Looking back, I don't have any idea of what I ordered, but I remember they were delicious. The tortilla was soft, yet strong. They had to be strong, because they weren't exactly skimpy on the fillings. The fillings were all cooked well, well-seasoned, and each of the fillings played their roles in the overall taste of the taco. Very well done. So overall, this is a very good taco joint. They may be my favorite tacos in town. I'll have to do some more research, though."

La Takeria Tacos

★★★★★ 4.6 (29)

"I had seen this restaurant in Google maps a couple of times but I always missed it when I went by, so I decided to give it a try.The restaurant is next to a convenience store and it is pretty large with plenty of seating. They do to go orders as well. I ordered the grilled chicken and a chicharron taco. Everything was super tasty, made to order and very authentic. I got chips and salsa as I sat as well. I will definitely keep them as a go to, when I am around the area."

La Fiesta Mexican Grill and Catering

★★★★☆ 4.2 (492) • $$

"I have been coming to La Fiesta for years... all the way back to when they were at their old location on the other side of Curry Ford. I am so glad to they moved because they can accommodate SO many more guests at their current location which is good so there's almost never a wait now. When we arrive, we are seated promptly. Almost immediately, we are served with the most delicious chips and salsa. The margaritas are on point, and their happy hour is a bargain. I've ordered many different items from the menu, but if you want to try a bit of everything, I highly recommend the Dinner for 2. It certainly can feed at least 2 people or you can bring home the leftovers for yourself. The cheese-covered burrito is probably my favorite, but the quesadilla and chile relleno are close seconds. Their fajitas are also outstanding!Service is always incredibly fast and friendly. To be honest, in all of my years of visiting, I can't think of a single negative experience. If you want authentic, fresh Mexican cuisine, look no further than La Fiesta."

Habaneros Mexican Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (172) • $$

"I went on a Thursday evening with a couple friends. When I came around 6pm, it was pretty crowded. However, we still got seated at a high table near the bar. Even though it was after happy hour, there was a special for a big sized margarita for only 11 dollars. When it came, I was stunned how big it was. I was expecting a smaller fishbowl sized one, but it was a big cup that I could barely hold. And it wasn't watered down at all. It was a refreshing margarita with a generous account of tequila. Even before halfway finishing the drink, I was feeling tipsy. So to be safe, I stopped halfway. For my entree, I did 2 chicken enchiladas and 1 chicken taco combo (14.50). The enchiladas had a nice amount of tender chicken with cheese on top. The sauce was tasty, but mild. Thankfully they had hot sauce to add up the picante. The rice was a good side, and the taco was more hard shell, so I enjoyed the chicken and other fillings inside it. I skipped dessert as I was still feeling tipsy and walked to the mall with my friends instead. The service was quick and friendly. I was surprised the food came pretty fast while still being delicious. While the restaurant was a bit crowded, it was more quiet in the bar area, with still some empty seats. There were two donkey statues at the center, and one had a saddle. However, I was sadly told that there was an age and weight limit for getting on them, so this poor cowboy was left out. Triste (sad). Mexican music was playing in the background, and you can easily hear the piped mariachi music outside. There is another Habenaros near UCF, but I was told this was the better one. And I highly agree. The margarita special on Thursday was big and strong, and the food was delicious. This looks to be underrated and is a very nice Mexican restaurant for a reasonable price in the Oviedo area."

Mariachi Mexican Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (9)

"This place used to be a standard taco shop walk up counter, but now it's a sit down with really nice booths. The woman who served me was extremely nice too. I ordered the California burrito and it was awesome. Even though it's full service now the quality was still just as authentic. This place is the closest to true cali burritos. 10/10"

Del Taco

★★★★☆ 3.9 (13)

"Inflation buster! Their taco salad is a whopping $6.99 with choice of meat. Their snack tacos are 99¢. The mini shake (perfect portion) is 99¢. When even McDonald is $25 for two meals, this place is delicious, fresh and the prices can't be beat!"

El Mejor Sabor Bakery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (21) • $

"The cakes here are always amazing. Every time I need a cake I just go and pick it up, they never disappoint. And all the designs are so pretty. They are always friendly and checkout is a breeze. All I can say is if you enjoy tres leches cake give them a try and if you are lactose intolerant like me, have a box of pills nearby to consume alongside the cake! You have been warned !"

La Mexicana

★★★★☆ 3.5 (69) • $

"This is one of the nicer Mexican restaurants in HC and the prices reflect that. I ordered guacamole to accompany the free chips and salsa and it was fresh and delicious. The chips also tasted fresh out of the frier, the salsa however was quite plain so I'm glad I got the guacamole. For my entree I had a combo plate with beef quesadilla and chicken tamale. The meat in both were exceptionally seasoned. Also the 2 hot sauces were house made, the green was just okay but the red one had a deep smoky chili flavor that I truly enjoyed. They offer Spanish and English menus and the service was excellent. The atmosphere was a bit plain but definitely clean."

Azteca D'Oro Winter Garden

★★★★☆ 4.1 (184) • $$

"We frequently get take out from here but rarely go in for dinner as it's usually very busy. We were out and about on Friday night and needed to eat so decided to dine in. We called ahead and asked about the wait and it was 20min for 2 at 6:30pm. So we opted to go to the bar. We chose a hightop and got menu from the bar. It took a minute for service but she got our drinks started right away. We both got the Blanton's smoked old fashion ($22.00/each). It was really good! We also got the fresh guac (made table side - $15.00) and the then I got the taco salad ($16.00) and my husband got the Carne Asada with shrimp ($32.00). The salad was huge but I do wish there was more lettuce in the salad. It was more of the accoutrements than the actual salad itself. My husband's shrimp had mushrooms in it, which was a little surprising, but they were absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly. The Carne Asada, he asked for medium, and it was definitely a little more on the well side, but still good nonetheless."

"What a great lunch! I had a salad bowl with black beans and veggies as the main. It was one of the freshest salads I have had in a long time and I'm so glad I got it. It also had quite a few great add-ins which really added to the great flavor. P.S. the guacamole is free!!!I will definitely go back and you should go too!!"

"Delicious torta, drinks, paletas. Can't wait to come back. Staff was very helpful in regards to recommendations and navigating the variety of desserts they have available."

El Korita

★★★★☆ 4.3 (7)

"This place is a HIDDEN GEM! I've drove by this place many times, but we decided to stop by today. I am speechless at how good everything was! The server was sweet, she quickly took our food and drink order and the food came out quickly as well. I had the menudo (beef tripe soup) and it was the BEST one I've had at any restaurant. I also had two barbacoa (slow cooked shredded beef) tacos that were amazing and super authentic they reminded me of home. Sister had the burrito with cheese on top and she said it was great. The aguas frescas were all so good and homemade, honestly the best horchata I've ever had. Overall, this place really took my breath away. I left here wanting to come back asap. You won't regret coming here!"

Zocalo 436

★★★★★ 4.5 (13)

"Can I share a secret? Zocalo 436 is local restaurant that serves up some great Mexican food! The spot took over another restaurant on 436 in Casselberry after they closed (RIP). The inside is cutely decorated. There is even a fun mural in the outside of the building.After you're seated, you'll be served complimentary chips and salsa. My favorite dish that I've tried is the birriaquillas. It is very filling. Taco Tuesday is an excellent deal with $2 tacos. As a dessert, the churros with ice cream is the way to go.Service is friendly and fast! I will be happy to return!"

El Burro Loco

★★★★☆ 4.2 (150) • $$

"I finally found a great taco place in Orlando! Ever since moving here two years ago, I've been on the search for a restaurant that serves delicious, authentic tacos and El Burro Loco is it! From meaty tacos to tasty options for vegetarians like me, El Burro Loco is sure to satisfy!Not only was the food and drink delicious, but the service was wonderful as well. I literally can't wait to go back, so I'm going back today! YUM!"

Coyote Rojo

★★★★☆ 4.1 (210) • $

"Relatively decent Mexican food in a simple and humble environment. The burritos are good and the service is friendly and professional. All in all, this is a nice hidden gem in an unlikely place. I would definitely recommend a visit here."

Grocery Los Hermanos

★★★★☆ 4.4 (60) • $

"I know several people that have tried this spot and finally had to give it a try myself! I chose to order online and my bf went to pick it up. Ordering online was super easy and food was ready when promised. We ordered two asade tacos, an asade quesadilla (which I didn't realize came with fries and rice!), and an order of rice and beans. The tacos were tasty with a nice crunchy shell and a good amount of filling. I had ordered cilantro on mine which seemed to be missing, but still tasty. The quesadilla was also good. The meat was well seasoned and tender. I would have liked more cheese personally, but it was still yummy. The rice was pretty standard Mexican style rice and the beans were nice and creamy. Overall, this is a good spot and I'd definitely order again!"

Tamale Co. Mexican Street Food

★★★★★ 4.6 (514) • $$

"2nd time at Tamale Co. This time with my husband who us a recent convert of tamales.He loved it. We ordered El Trio, salsa, guacamole and queso with chips. The freshest salsa & guacamole I've ever had and the queso is perfection. My husband had The Traditional, two chicken tamales with rice and beans. Green salsa, sour cream and cilantro on the side. I had Dos Amigos, two chicken tamales one topped with green salsa, the other with red salsa, served with rice and beans. Dios mio, God, it's sooo good. Fluffy, soft, flavorful tamales. The rice perfectly seasoned, the beans creamy and delicious! For drinks, agua fresca de Jamaica (Hibiscus water) so refreshing & sweet! The service is always on point. They all are friendly, efficient and awesome."

El Taco Rico Mexican Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4 (61)

"The wait to get your order took a minute but when stuff started coming out it was good. The queso was cold ish but decent. The salsa was good. We had birria, tacos, and fajitas. The fajitas were so good and very flavorful. I also had a hibiscus aquafresca and it was yummy. A great place in downtown for sure. Nice and authentic"

Sloppy Taco Palace

★★★★☆ 4 (486) • $$

"YASSSSS... Love everything from the name to the food to the staff to the vibe. Awesome place. I took a walk on the wild side with Greek tacos and a side of tots. Sounds weird, but it's a great combo. The Greek taco came with grilled chicken, feta, greens, tomato and such, along with a very nicely done Greek dressing. All that in a flour tortilla, which had been grilled with just a few crispy edges. Delightful. I am not usually a big fan of tots, but these were done to perfection. Nice and crisp on the outside and wonderfully soft and warm on the inside. Picture perfect tots. Wish I lived in Orlando, I would become a regular here very quickly."

Taco Bell

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (86) • $

"All right, this restaurant had so few stars that I was a little worried going there but they were the only one around. Lol I went anyway because I was hangry. I don't know where the fuck is it was just a time of day but, it was a pretty smooth transaction for me and my group. The employees were friendly, they got our order correct, and we were in and out which I really appreciated after a long day out. Also our food was fresh and good. I'll definitely be visiting this location again."

Blessed Belly Food Truck

★★★★☆ 4.3 (37) • $$

"All I have to say is WOW! This is the best birria I have ever tasted. The meat is juicy and flavorful, The ingredients are fresh, the cheese is melty and perfect and the portions are super generous. We purchased the Birria Pizza for 3 adults and 1 child and it was more than enough! It was delicious, well balanced between tortilla, meet and cheese and left us feeling happy and stuffed. The Birria egg rolls were crunchy, full or gooey cheese and flavorful meat! I will say that the price point is pretty high, but the flavor is worth it!"

Garibaldi Mexican Restaurant and Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (527) • $$

"Best Mexican around. The birria tacos are out of this world. No one does it better. The bartenders know how to make a GREAT drink!! Ambience is perfectly Mexican. Our favorite for sure!! Have been here many times and never had a bad experience."

Luna Azul

★★★★★ 4.6 (48)

"Fantastic! I'm a taco snob. I love tacos. This place hits the spot. Great food, great service, cold Corona lite. The plaza where this is located is Uber sketchy, but once inside, the Mexican cuisine takes over. I had 2 soft and 2 hard shell tacos. I enjoyed every bite. It's nice to have a reliable, efficient place to go for lunch. We shall return."

Juancho’s Birrieria

★★★★★ 4.8 (57)

"Great authentic Mexican restaurant! I've been here many times and I've never been disappointed. The chips and hot sauce are always fresh and delicious. Actually I haven't had one bad thing here. Service is fast and the seating area is small but always clean."

Taqueria el maguey

★★★★★ 4.8 (4)

"Street tacos here are sooo good! And I love their homemade hot sauce bar!! I could drink them lol In addition,,There is pico,,cilantro,,limes,,radishes,,jalapeños and onions to help yourself to. The hot sauce is awesome too btw. The ladies that work here are super nice and I usually like crunchy but they recommended their soft (made fresh in house) shell and I loved it! They serve beer and other great drinks. It's very assuming but very authentic and delicious. I even got to practice some of my Spanish here in Orlando. It sits attached to the side of the gas station in case you have trouble finding it.. Highly recommend!!!"

Haystax Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (71) • $

"Once again, HayStax delivers and this time for breakfast! Prices are better than most fast food and the portion size is ridiculously large. Did I mention how great the buttery hash browns were? Or the size and deliciousness of the blueberry pancakes? I wish I had a picture of the food to share but it was just so good we ate it!"

El Cabrito Taqueria

★★★★☆ 4.3 (12)

"The best taco shop in the Davenport area. Try the goat aka chivo tacos or the soup. Omg it was well worth it.We had 20 tacos, 1 burrito, 2 quesadillas, 1 soup and like 6 sodas and it was all under 80 bucks.I'm a mexican food junkie and love me some birria tacos, but there they are quick, cheap and delicious. I will definitely come back often when in town."

Pepe's Cantina

★★★★☆ 3.9 (59)

"We've been to Pepe's a few times now and it's been 5 stars every time. The trio ceviche is light and full of flavor. The guacamole is made fresh at your table side and is a generous portion. We have enough of the guac for an appetizer and yo be used on our main dishes. Some of the best margaritas I've had!The service is always good and everyone is super nice. Consistent and delicious!"

La Hacienda Mexican Restaurant
