Taqueria El Alacran

Tiny location. Very little parking and even less seating, But the tacos are as authentic as they get. I highly recommend this little spot. Only one other spot stands up to them and that is the taco truck at the Mexican consulate which I'm sorry but they are the best!! Now back to this restaurant's review... Every time I come, I try something different and the only thing that I didn't like was only because of the texture was the tripe. I was feeling adventurous. Let's just say I won't do that again. But everything else they had keeps me coming back over and over again. I usually do tacos one night a week, but after I tried this place for the first time I couldn't stop thinking about it and wanted to come back every night following up. But you be the judge and come check it out yourself I don't think you would be disappointed.

This was my first visit here. As a big fan of tacos, I can be quite particular. The cabeza tacos were decent, but I've had better; they reminded me more of barbacoa. The tripa was good and crunchy. When we ordered the tripa, they asked if we wanted it regular or crunchy, and we chose regular. If we had chosen crunchy, it might have been too much. I appreciated how they slightly fried the tortillas for all the tacos. The huarache was large and very flavorful. The gordita was my least favorite, and the asada was too salty. Service was good and fast--they take your order and bring the food to your table. There's a good variety of drinks, including beers, sodas, and aguas frescas. The place could be a bit cleaner, but it wasn't too bad overall.

El Alacrán Taquería is a culinary delight! The moment you step inside, you're transported to a world of exquisite Mexican flavors. The tacos are nothing short of amazing - bursting with authenticity and freshness. The friendly staff adds to the warm and inviting atmosphere, making you feel right at home.The extensive menu offers a wide variety of options, ensuring there's something for every palate. From the perfectly seasoned meats to the mouthwatering salsas, every dish is a taste bud adventure.Whether you're a fan of traditional Mexican cuisine or a newbie to the flavors of the south, El Alacrán is a must-visit. It's more than a restaurant; it's a journey through the rich tapestry of Mexican cuisine. I can't recommend it highly enough - 5 stars!

I downloaded Yelp just to leave this review. This is my all time favorite restaurant. The food is second to none. The service is incredibly efficient. The Al-Pastor would be my last meal if I were to die right after. If you don't know what to get, just get tacos and try out all the proteins. I cannot recommend this place enough. Mexican food is my favorite, and this is THE BEST place in Orlando.CANNOT recommend it enough.

El Alacrán Taquería is a special place! The tacos are my favorite because they're made with fresh ingredients. I enjoyed talking to the friendly staff who made us feel very welcome. Oh, and don't forget the salsa. It's delicious. The location is easy to find, and you'll find a pleasant atmosphere to enjoy your meal. Thanks so much!

Now this is what I would call a hidden gem in more than one way as they are doing it right one taco at a time! So we ordered a few different things and all of them were seriously scrumptious like you really can't go wrong with anything here!The Chile Relleno was perfect it had the right amount of cheese in it and you can tell it was freshly made making for one yummy dish with their rice and beans which were also super good too!The Al pastor quesadilla was yummy too as it reminded me of that homemade taste when you cook one on the stove top and it was just good even more so with their super yummy Al pastor inside.Now those tacos are some of the best ones I've had in years like oh sooo good as they make their own tortillas so they are super fresh and the meat was perfect both the asada and Al pastor were super flavorful and then the salsa that I put over the top was just ohhh sooo good the both of them the hot one then mixed with the avocado one then some cilantro and onions sprinkled on top of the tacos making for some incredible tacos like you really can't go wrong with that at all just soooo good!Overall they do it right here in more than one way this is by far some super legit Mexican food and I know that I'll be back here again soon as those tacos are seriously scrumptious along with everything else!

Best Mexican in Orlando! Best steak fajitas ever! Who needs taco Tuesdays it's a Friday tradition in this house.

We just ordered food from this place via uber eats. How disappointing and a waste pf money. The food came ice cold, not even room temperature, and there was barely any beans in my pinto beans just runny sauce with no flavor. The tostadas we're thrown in a container not even put together, we had to put them together ourselves. The food was seriously disgusting, did not taste good at all. Wow what a waste pof money!

This was an absolutely phenomenal experience. The space is small if dining in, but the food is unbelievably delicious. The service was impeccable and the flavors are indescribable. The menu is filled with so many options and very affordable! Tacos being less than 2 dollars!!!! I would highly recommend this location! 10/10

This place is definitely a hidden gem! & must try! Their food is authentic and full of flavor, I can't wait to go back. They have a lot on the menu to offer at a reasonable and inexpensive cost. I love the fact that their tacos and meat is made in house!! Then their left just like that, and you top them off yourself with whatever you'd like at their toppings and sauce bar. What a cool concept :) thanks!!!! Will be back soon.
