Los Amecas Restaurant and Taqueria

The tacos are really good. I enjoyed them. The menudo was a little smelly, but the flavor was there I just feel like they needed to clean the tripe better or use fresher tripe

Mira, te amo!!! Gives me that old skool ungentrified flea market side of the road taqueria feel with what I'd imagine were authentic south of the border eats made by those who've lived there. Seems it's a family enterprise, all the better. And they've come a long way since the remodel and I'm all for second chances; they deserve it. Love, love, love, the carne asada and I've got weaknesses for the caldo de pollo. I don't know why, I just do. They're not exactly cheap eats but they're good. A 32 ounce Victoria will set you back well more than $12 and it's not exactly a bad idea to brush up on your Spanish or bring amigos.

Outstanding authentic Mexican food. I've been here numerous times and it is always consistently great. They make the best buche I've had. Its so tender and juicy and flavorful. There aren't many places in Orlando that even offer buche. All of the tacos are excellent but my favorites are the buche and the cabeza. The milanesa de res torta is super delicious and very large. The bread is light and airy and the milanesa breading is crunchy and never greasy. My other favorite is their chiles rellenos platter that comes with two chiles and rice and beans. They have a salsa bar that has a couple of very spicy sauces (the orange one had me in tears) and a mild green one, fresh lime wedges, cilantro onion, radish slices, pickled onion, shredded cabbage and a couple other items to top your tacos/food with. They also offer bottled/canned beers and sodas. The restaurant is very clean and has lots of seating. The parking lot can get full depending on what time you go but I've never had an issue finding an open spot. I cannot recommend this place enough. It is my favorite and I go as often as I can.

Food: 5/5. I can say that when I normally go to Mexican restaurants I order the chicken, carnitas, and the Al pastor. Normally the Al pastor is the best, however the carnitas here are amazing. They have an amazing crunch on the outside which was very satisfying. The quesadilla is extremely huge, you get an option of corn or flour tortilla. I opted for the flour because from pervious experiences corn easily falls apart. I also got a taco, and you could taste the freshness of the tortilla. The salsa bar was a do it yourself style with all the accompaniment you could want. Service: 5/5. When I walked in I was greeted immediately, the person taking the orders was extremely friendly and shortly after someone brought the food to the table. The food was piping hot, I had to wait for it to cool down to eat it which was a nice surprise. Normally you get food that's medium, here it's made very fresh. Ambiance: 5/5. The place is very welcoming, open and nice for groups or friends. It's not overly loud and the tables are great if you have a larger size party. Today I went with 5 people in total. There is ample seating in the front and back. Parking is a bit tight however, if you go on a busy day this may be your challenge.

Awesome food and awesome people. Tasty tasty tasty Mexican food. Highly recommend! I had the enchiladas. I did not need to add any salt pepper or any spices whatsoever. It was just perfect.

The food is the closest to authentic Mexican you will find in SoDo area downtown. The prices are extremely reasonable and the food is wonderful. Quick service. All around great place!

The food is 100% authentic and delicious! The service is great, everyone is super friendly and happy. The music gives that authentic, fun ambiance and it's just overall great!
