The Mexican Camel

"Every bite was a harmonious blend of textures and flavors, a testament to the meticulous care that went into selecting and preparing each ingredient. The combination of the tender steak, the creamy elements, and the fresh, zesty components created a symphony of tastes that was incredibly satisfying.In conclusion, this steak burrito was an extraordinary experience. The use of top-quality ingredients and the attention to detail in its preparation truly set it apart. It's a dish that exemplifies how simple, well-executed ingredients can come together to create something truly special. If you have the chance to try this steak burrito, don't hesitate... it's a delicious journey you won't want to miss."

Chuy's

★★★★☆ 4.1 (930) • $$

"Chuy's is a local Mexican restaurant, with different locations around the Orlando area. This one in particular is the closest to our home, only about 15 minutes from Winter Garden, located on 192 near Disney and Kissimmee. We have been here numerous times with my in laws as well as my wife and I. Their vibe is very colorful, lots of things to look at; pictures, hubcap ceilings, and funny teeshirts which they actually sell. Booths and tables are available, as well as tables outside and bar seating. This location is pretty popular for tourists staying nearby as well as locals dining in. The wait can get pretty long if you are going later in the evening. We try to go early especially when the family is here. The positive about having to wait, is the bar area. They make great margaritas and go perfect with the food. You can also order drinks at your table. My wife loves the Mango margaritas, and I prefer more of the classic, but I have tried a few different kinds. They are all actually really good. Your meals start with their chips, which are thin, salty and always served hot. They also have a very chunky style salsa. We also really like the creamy jalapeno sauce; you have to ask for it sometimes. But it so delicious and we love it with the chips. This sauce does have a kick though, which I enjoy. I usually order the same thing, the Cobb salad. It is huge, very fresh and actually really tasty. I also tend to like the fajitas, sometimes my wife and I will share the fajitas for two. She usually gets the cheese enchiladas with tex mex sauce and no beans, double rice. She also likes to add cheese to the rice and add the creamy jalapeno sauce to it. The other dishes we have tried are the burritos (giant), the tortilla soup and the fried avocado, which used to be a special. I haven't seen it in a while, but it was delicious. The fajitas are really tasty and something we ordered a lot to-go during the pandemic as a way to help the restaurants and because we didn't want to cook. They come with the classic toppings and fresh flour tortillas. All of their tortillas are made fresh in house. Overall, we love this type of food and for a "chain" this one is pretty good. It is probably our favorite chain Mexican restaurant around us. Everything seems fresh, the servers are usually always nice (the hostesses not so much) but great service from the servers. Their drink are great, you actually get a great value for your price of the drink. Overall, I would say check it out. Aces!"

Pepe's Cantina

★★★★☆ 4.2 (679) • $$

"I will very happy to say that my experience at Pepe's have significantly improved since my last visit 6 years ago. I arrived on a Wednesday evening with my colleague. We were greeted immediately and seated at in outdoor table as requested. Since we just missed happy hour (which was over at 5), we just settled for water. Complimentary chips and salsa were given. I decided to have 3 shredded chicken tacos (17 dollars), which included rice and beans. The tacos came pretty quickly and it was wonderful. The chicken was tender and juicy and had ample amount of lettuce and cheese. The hot sauce that I requested was indeed spicy and made me sweat a tear or two in front of my colleague. I substituted extra rice instead of beans. The rice was flavorful with some vegetables like peas, corn, carrots, and beans. And the tacos were filling enough that I was able to save one for lunch the next day. Our server was friendly and quick. There were no issues with the credit card machine this time, so our payment was taken quickly! We were in and out within an hour. The dining area was pretty small with a few tables inside, and some outside. I was very happy that there was a small heated lamp that kept us warm during the cooler night. I guess the last time when I arrived during the Cinco de Mayo fest 6 years ago, it was very crowded and the credit card machine issue was just a fluke. Thus, it was painfully slow. But now it was much faster and friendlier. Parking is free in the garage and some lots, but it can be difficult to park during the weekends. My lesson I learned is probably to pack a lot of patience when they have an event like the Cinco de Mayo, but I will definitely come back if they offer that event and have the mechanical bull rides again. The food is wonderful and hopefully they won't have the machine issue again."

Las Carretas Mexican Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.6 (538) • $$

"My favorite place for a taco salad! They have recently expanded by taking over the boba tea place next door and making that a part of the dining room which has given them MUCH more space by the bar. They remodeled the decor and design on the inside and I just love it! Modern and yet so very Las Carretas! The service is always friendly and fast! They have live mariachi bands weekly as well as table side guacamole. The complementary chips still have that expansive toppings bar in the central location on that inside. They have outdoor seating available as well. And let me tell you they need it on cinco de mayo! This place is a PARTY on May 5! I will always choose las carretas over other Mexican restaurants in my area and there are a LOT of them."

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 Tapatio Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (577) • $$

"Just had an amazing dining experience at this Mexican restaurant! The food was absolutely fantastic--authentic, flavorful, and served in generous portions. The prices were reasonable, making it a great value for the quality and quantity. The restaurant itself is bright and spacious with plenty of seating, and they have a fresh juice bar which is a nice touch. Service was attentive and friendly, making the whole experience even better. Plus, there's a parking lot with plenty of parking. I highly recommend if you're looking for great food and great service."

Agave Azul Cocina Mexicana - Windermere

★★★★☆ 4.3 (488) • $$

"I had some friends come into town, and they wanted to eat at a fancy, but not too fancy, Mexican restaurant. When I hear that, I immediately thing Agave Azul. So we chose the one by their hotel, make reservations, and get this thing going. In the middle of a ho-hum strip mall, the interior is a stark contrast, very ornate and very upscale. Chill at the same time. You feel very comfortable in here, but also like you want to bop your head and party a little bit. Anyway, we got seated and met our server. She was very nice. Had a good explanation of the menu for us. No issues. Our drinks were full all evening long.As for the food, it was a little lackluster compared to our first time at the WP location. I know the restaurant world is faced with budget decisions lately, and I know the people of Windermere are a little seasoning-hesitant, so it all kind of adds up, and it was still a wonderful night, so I'm gonna stick with the five stars here. I had the Flautas (Chicken tinga, flash fried corn tortillas, crema, guacamole, queso fresco, radish, refried beans, Mexican rice, tomatillo arbol salsa). Mega crispy with some flavorful chicken inside. All that listed stuff piled high on top made for some good dipping and topping. Really fun. Really good. The rice and beans were part of the disappointment that I mentioned earlier, but they were still satisfactory. I'm glad they were there. We also had a sampler thing with a quesadilla, a burrito, a chimichanga, something like that. Also good. A good sauce, a tasteful amount of cheese, maybe a little small amount of rice and beans. Overall pretty good. We finished it all off with a Tres Leches. Pound-for-pound, the best thing we ate that night. This cake was very well saturated. Not too sweet, because the sweetness was the cream on top, and the caramel drizzle. Perfect amounts of each. A really nice way to end the dinner. Overall, this was a nice dinner. I will probably not come back, but if you are considering coming here, this place will not disappoint!"

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."

San Angel Inn Restaurante

★★★★☆ 3.6 (597) • $$

"Future me, remember to have the kids split a quesadilla. It will probably be cheese, since Yoshi only wants cheese. If you get Hiro the chicken quesadilla, he may not eat it, but it tasted decent the next day. The kids meals are generous portions that come with two sides. We did rice and corn with one and rice and fruit with the other. I wasn't a huge fan of the corn, but the rice is delicious. I even ate it cold the next day and it was still good. I got the shrimp Caesar salad and it was pretty good. My husband got enchiladas and it had a bunch of cheese. Way too much cheese for him, so reminder to him, if he gets the enchiladas again, ask for it without cheese.We also started with the chips with queso and salsa. They weren't anything to write home about, but if we're craving queso or salsa it's pretty good.I got the avocado margarita, which was delicious as always. I saw another table had a margarita flight, so maybe next time I'll pivot to that. Even after you check in the wait can be a while, so definitely check in on your phone as you're walking there. Our server was so nice. If I didn't have the kids I would ask to sit by the water to watch the boats go by. It would take longer to get a table, but it's so worth it (to me.)"

F&D Cantina

★★★★☆ 3.9 (476) • $$

"This place was busy but the service was quick m, drinks were good and food was very tasty. I had the passion fruit and prickly pear marg. The prickly pear was better and had more flavor. We tried the dip trio with a green salsa side. Then me and my step daughter split the app combo it had empanadas, flautas, bacon jalapeños , and spin dip. All so good and hot the cilantro sauce to dip items in was so good like you could put it on a shoe and it would be good. My partner had the trio fajita and street corn. He loved the meats and the corn and all the sides. This place is legit and very tasty. We will def go back when in town next time. The area is great to walk around on also"

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."

El Tenampa

★★★★☆ 4.2 (391) • $$

"Before I devoured my macrons from David Ramirez Chocolates down the street and had a craving for a warm, savory tamal. I found El Tenampa on Yelp. Couple of reviews mentioned tamales, so in I went. Greeted by a nice hostess and seated immediately.It is a big space, abundant seating, booths an tables. Enough that they can sit a big party with no problem. I was led to booth in the back. They noticed I was flushed, it was hot outside, they turned the fan towards me, to help. I was grateful. I was served chips and a fresh salsa. I asked for a tamal and was crest fallen when was told they no longer serve tamales. That the market next door does have them. But I was already seated, hot and hungry, so I stayed. I ordered a carne asada taco and a pineapple agua fresca. The food was good. The taco was good. The carne asada flavorful. The toppings of fresh, diced white onions, cilantro and the piquant green salsa. I love an agua fresca of any fruit, and this one was delicious and so refreshing. The food, service and ambiance was good."

Azteca D’Oro

★★★★☆ 3.8 (447) • $$

"Azteca delivered on a hot meal with excellent service. We were seated quickly and the restaurant was clean. I started with an order of queso dip and added chorizo to it. It came with a basket of warm tasty tortilla chips. Afterwards I decided to go with a chicken quesadilla. It was made with chicken, cheese, green onion and tomatoes. It's a simple menu item that was filling and did not disappoint."

Taco Norteño

★★★★☆ 4.3 (333) • $

"Taco Norteno is a little building on West Colonial Drive (State Road 50) in Winyet Garden, Florida that would be easy to miss. However, if you were to miss it, you would miss out on a great place for tacos and other Mexican favorites.The ordering process is that you order at a counter and they give you a number (kind of like a barbecue place) and you grab a table. They bring you your food (and I will say in a quick amount of time). I encourage that you swing by the salsa bar table and help yourself to their variety of salsas, onions, cilantro, etc. and properly dress your taco. I also like that they had sour cream and lettuce if you happen to like an Americanized taco. I personally am not a fan, but I know a lot who prefer to add lettuce and sour cream.The tacos here are definitely Solis and they are decently priced. The tacos are about three dollars a piece. I saw a burrito at a table next to me and the burritos looked good, as well.I definitely recommend this place for some solid Mexican food and I give it five stars."

Servando's

★★★★☆ 4.3 (294) • $$

"Great local spot for authentic Mexican cuisine. I've been here many times before but decided to branch out from my normal and tried out their tacos. DO NOT SLEEP ON THE RIB-EYE TACOS. They are not on the listed menu, but definitely a must try. I am usually an Al Pastor kinda girl but I am so happy I took my friend's suggestion with the ribeye. There is a spicy sauce on all their tacos, so just be aware. I love spicy foods and this was pleasant, but the meat was so perfectly cooked. Lots of juice and I feel the perfect amount of meat to fat ratio. I will definitely come back for more."

Abuelo's Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (397) • $$

"Abuelos has often been a family favorite for us, and finding one in Orlando was a treat. Unfortunately their reservation tool is very ineffective. For 3 days straight it showed no tables available, so by the third day we decided to just drop in. We found a nearly empty restaurant though the reservation tool showed nothing available that night. Glad we just stopped in! The service was superior!!! The food was excellent, as always, and we had a lovely, relaxing experience! Don't hesitate to enjoy this gem of a restaurant"

Señor Frog's

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (787) • $$

"Visited this location to watch a boxing match and I had a good time. My server Shirley P took care of me and made wonderful suggestions to help me choose the most cost effective option based on my desires. She also stopped by and chatted with me regularly. She was into sports which made it even more interesting. She used to box. The appetizer sampler was a good choice and was tasty. The yard model draft was priced pretty decent for the location. The music after the fight ended was good. They had staff in the bathroom to give you cologne or whatever else you may need. I enjoyed my time at this place but definitely ask for Shirley P if you go here."

Tacos Express

★★★★☆ 4.1 (301) • $

"Fantastic Tacos, Great Value!Tacos Express in Orlando is an absolute gem, especially for those post-gym cravings. I swung by here after a workout session, and boy, was I in for a treat!Let's talk about the tacos first. They're massive, and at $2.50 each, you're getting a bang for your buck. I ordered four, thinking I could handle them all, but two was more than enough. Each taco boasted a generous 8oz of meat, and the flavor was on point. Whether you opt for the carne asada or chicken, you won't be disappointed. Plus, they're thoughtful about those watching their carbs - just one corn tortilla per taco.But the goodness doesn't stop there. With your tacos, you get a free basket of chips and salsa. It's the little things like this that make the experience delightful. And the best part? Even after indulging in tacos and sides, you'll still likely walk out spending under $10. That's a steal considering the quality and quantity of food you're getting.Their menu is extensive, and I can't wait to explore more of it. The ambiance inside surprised me; the hand-carved and painted wooden booths gave off vibes of a high-end Mexican restaurant. There's plenty of dining space, so you can comfortably enjoy your meal without feeling cramped.Overall, Tacos Express exceeded my expectations. Delicious food, great value, and a welcoming atmosphere - what more could you ask for? I'll definitely be back to try out more of their offerings. Highly recommended!"

KAVAS Tacos + Tequila

★★★★☆ 4 (287)

"Cool little spot! Lots of shops and areas to chill outside if you just want to people watch before you take a table to eat as well. I got the Big Ass Burrito which was HUGE and decent. The salsa here is really good, I loved it! Service was fairly quick even though it was pretty busy. If you're going on the weekend, I'd recommend calling for a reservation."

Azteca d'Oro - West Colonial

★★★★☆ 3.9 (291) • $$

"The family and I wanted to go somewhere for dinner and naturally we all agreed with Mexican, duh!!!!We all ordered something different....tacos, burritos, nachos but there's something magical that happens in my spirit when I see the sizzling dance on my plate as fajitas come out the kitchen so thats what I got and it was *chefs kiss* I also ordered the margarita flight which had 4 margaritas for $18 (I mean seriously - jumps in glee). It had a Tamarindo, Dragon Fruit, Coconut, and Watermelon Margarita....SO GOOD!!!Honestly writing this review makes me want to go back so you know they won me over. Make sure to check them out!!!"

Fiesta Grande

★★★★☆ 3.9 (287) • $$

"Bummed to find out the nice patio is NOT dog friendly. I guess someone's dog bit someone and the restaurant was sued and that ruined it for the rest of us. Too bad because Mt. Dora is so dog friendly...Our meal was still just ok. Servers were stretched thin so it was still a bit slow. Our server was nice and was trying. Definitely a management/staffing issue. Margaritas were better than I remembered and sitting outside was a much better experience than inside on a loud and busy night. Still prefer MezCal or Garabaldi in Apopka (and both are dog-friendly!)"

Quesa Loco

★★★★★ 4.5 (212) • $$

"Stumbled upon this when visiting nearby. Nice find. Food is excellent! If you like birra they have a ton of choices. Authentic drinks (horchata, jamaica, tamarind, & more). Table service inside & out. Very busy which is a good sign. Tacos are authentic."

El Potro

★★★★☆ 3.9 (273) • $$

"I'm not sure why I waited so long to try El Potro, but that wasn't a great choice. The place is excellent! In traditional fashion, the meal began with chips and salsa, which were perfect. The salsa had a bit of a punch in certain bites, so definitely watch out if you're not a spicy fan. After that we tried many different tacos and they were all full of flavor and very hearty. The tortilla was grilled a bit which made the flavor jump out even more. I especially like the verde salsa that came with the taco. It was a great flavor and added a nice cooling touch. I can't wait to go back and try more..."

Tacos Don Andres

★★★★★ 4.5 (203) • $$

"Wow!!! We had no idea this place existed. We were looking for something different in our area to try and saw this. When we pulled up, we noticed how packed the place was, luckily we were going to order our food to go. We ordered at the counter and we were told maybe 20 minutes until it was ready. I'd say we waited about 15 minutes.Once home we busted open the food and dove in. Man it was all so tasty. The Carnita was the star of the show, man that pork was so tender and marinated perfectly. We also ordered the Birria Burrito. This burrito was phenomenal, and packed full of flavor and the short ribbon was so tender. The consommé severed with the burrito paired perfectly with the burrito. We had to try the Elotes off the cobb too. It was very tasty and served as an excellent compliment to our meal.We will for sure come back again. The staff was friendly and the food was excellent."

The food is the star of the show. Superb flavors and true authentic Mexican cuisine. This is by far one of the tastiest and beautifully presented food. My pictures were from takeout. Now the ambiance each time has been a surprise. One Sunday there was live performances table side. Amazing!!! If you have not stopped by tapatillo what are you waiting for!! lol"

They also give you complimentary chips and salsa. The service was good and the waitress was very patient and knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere was very pleasant there was also an outside patio area which was very spacious and had a lot of seating. Overall it was a wonderful lunch choice and I plan on returning. That's all."

El Zócalo Mexican Restaurant

"I had lunch here yesterday. The service was fast and attentive. We had smoky breath cocktail and the Cadillac margarita. I had the chilie rellenos and my friend had a spicy shrimp dish. The drinks were made fresh to order and were strong. We both liked our food. The food tasted authentic and fresh. The tables and bathrooms were clean. I would return here for sure."

Colibri Mexican Cuisine

★★★☆☆ 3 (442) • $$

"I was in the area with family and a friend for Cinco De Mayo. We chose to eat here for lunch. We had a table outside, which is on the lake and didn't have to wait long for a table for 4. There was not any Cinco De Mayo food specials, only drink specials. Chips and salsa came out right away. Being that we were 4 people, we finished it very fast. The menu specifically stated there are not complimentary chip refills. While I understand that, the serving of chips we were given was not plentiful and we saw other tables getting overflowing baskets of chips. For my entree I had chorizo tacos. It came with rice, beans and a dollop of guacamole and sour cream on the side. It was very good. I finished everything! Other things that were ordered was steak tacos, shredded chicken nachos and flautas. A margarita was also ordered. The margarita was very small and was not worth the price. Service was decent."

La Fonda Mexican Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4 (243) • $$

"La Fonda Mexican Kitchen is located in Longwood, Florida on State Road 434 in a decent sized shopping plaza. It is a small restaurant and when I was in here on a Saturday afternoon, there was just one other group of people dining in the establishment. I am a huge fan of Mexican food and have found that the best Mexican food usually comes from these humble little mom-and-pop, hole-in-the-wall type places.This place definitely fits in with the aforementioned humble places. I wish that I could say that the food was anything above mediocre.My server was friendly and brought out the standard chips and salsa. Be advised that they have a sign saying that the first bowl of chips is free. After that it is two dollars for more.The chips and salsa were both obviously outsourced. They both taste like they came out of either a jar (for the salsa) or a bag (for the chips) and both tasted like they were discounted brands.I went with the porky burrito, which was about fifteen dollars. For fifteen dollars, it was small. I would say that it was about half the size of a burrito from Chipotle. The fast food Chipotle burrito was more flavorful, as well.I wish that I could recommend this establishment, but honestly, it was a miss in almost every aspect. I will give it three stars and that is being kind."

MI Mexico Mexican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (266) • $$

"Whenever I go to the beach I park in the lot directly next to here. I've been told this place is really good so we decided to try it after the beach. The chips and salsa were meh. I got the salsa fundido for our appetizer. It looked amazing, but tasted off and I didn't finish it. I got the steak del dio which is steak over a bed of rice and special sauce. The rice was nonexistent and I don't understand why they included chips as it wasn't in the description. The sauce tasted like watered down queso. The steak tasted like the precooked strips that you get at Publix and microwaved.I had a few bites and left hungry. The only reason I gave 2 stars is due to our server. It was packed but he always made sure we were taken care of.Do not recommend."

Cocina Maya Mexican Grill & Mezcaleria

★★★★☆ 4.4 (174) • $$

"Last night, my partner, and I came here for the first time and were very impressed. The restaurant is very cozy and clean, and it was clear that the staff, despite it being closer to the end of the night, were on top of their game. Our waitress was lovely and gave great recommendations for drinks and food. We ended up ordering the Queso Fundido, which they fire up tableside. I have not had better queso in years! It was so good and the presentation of the food was wonderful. We also ordered the taco Tuesday deal, six tacos for $15. We had so much food, that we had leftovers for today! The only downside is that it takes a little bit of time to prepare the food, so if you're in a rush, this might not be the place for you. But for us, it being date night, we were taking our time and really enjoying the experience. I would say the other "con" was that the frozen margarita had a strange taste to it, and I'm usually a frozen marg kind of gal. It wasn't a huge deal, I was just going to order a different drink if I got another. The waitress was so kind as to switch my drink after she noticed my partner gave me his, which I really appreciated! I ended up with a guava margarita and that was one of THE best drinks I've ever had. I really appreciated her understanding, and I couldn't have asked for a better drink than that guava one! My partner and I both ordered it and were in heaven!The food quality is wonderful, the staff are very attentive, and I would recommend this restaurant."
