Tortilleria & Restaurant La Mexicana

Orlando is not my favorite town in the world, mostly due to the traffic getting here from Tampa. After nearly 12 hours of volleyball I was craving good authentic Mexican food .the first place I drove to was closed for business so I stumbled upon this gem. I knew I was taking a risk by being a non Spanish speaking person, but I went with my gut and stopped. I am so glad I did! I was greeted and asked to sit at the bar since I was alone. I was offered chips and salsa. The chips were good even though they are a little thicker than I prefer, and the salsa, I could have eaten with a spoon because it was that good. Got the passion fruit margarita on the rocks with no rim and the chicken flautas. Incredible! Although there was a slight language barrier, the servers did their best to make me feel at home. I will definitely be back and recommend them to anyone looking for a great margarita and an authentic Mexican experience.

No se, pero yo no salgo de este lugar. Desde que uno entra, se huele lo limpio que es el domicilio. Siempre atienden bien, las server y los varones que traen la comida. El lugar esta escondidito, pero la comida es demasiado deliciosa y siempre la sirven rápido!

Found it by chance one afternoon and can't be happier that I found it! Food was great, service was great, soccer was on TV....what else can you ask for? Flavors are authentic they brought me home! Will definitely eat there again, will bring people and will highly recommend! Can't wait to go again!

Blink and you might miss it, and then you'll regret it! Being from Texas, I'm always on the hunt for good, authentic Mexican food. And this place delivers. It's part of a small shopping plaza that neighbors a bakery, meat market and a couple others, but they're all run by the same owners. So everything here is pretty authentic! When you first walk in, you're greeted by traditional Mexican music and lots of colorful decor. The restaurant is roomy and accommodating and also has what appeared to be a full bar.It's all table service seating but you can place orders to go.They don't offer fountain style sodas, but they have a wide assortment of bottled and cans. They also offer traditional home made drinks like Orchata.The tortilla chips are made fresh on site and the salsas are delicious. They provide you with two...one nice...and one naughty on your tongue. Very spicy!The portions are large and fit the pricing. Some of the offerings may not look like your regular ideas of food. For example, my daughter ordered the chicken quesadilla plate and they looked more like tacos. But still yummy! I ordered the Quesabrilla tacos and they were absolute perfection.There is a parking lot but it can get quite busy, especially on the weekends, so finding a spot can be challenging.But all in all it's a great spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner...and maybe a bag of sweet bread from the bakery next door afterwards!

OMG! I was looking for a quick lunch spot near where my business trip took me, and was in the mood for authentic Mexican food. Wasn't going to stop here because it looked like a dive from the outside.Mamma said to never judge a book by its cover, so I went in.Good call...it was so authentic that I needed the one bi-lingual person in the place to translate my orders for me! And all the TVs were on ESPN Deportes, which helped me learn some more Spanish besides una cerveza mas por favor!House margaritas were tasty and strong, and the food was delicious and truly authentic...or at least as much as this gringo can understand! Ordered the beef enchiladas.I will be back, and am looking forward to trying out the rest of their menu, as well as the 30+ brands of tequila.

Servers are rude, charged for wrong food brought bcs server knew was mistake but cashier didn't care and charged me making it my fault. Not even wanting to call manager or make any exceptions. Never again. Flavor was not good either. Spend $60+ and didn't even eat.

The inside is cute and clean. The service was nonexistent. We came to the restaurant around 5:00pm and one other table was seated. Our server took our order and we never saw her again. A food runner brought our food and we didn't see anyone else until it was time for the check. Our water was never refilled and the chimichanga was horribly greasy. I've never in my life had a chimichanga ever be served with this much oil. This photo was taken after using 6 napkins to soak up more oil - it just kept coming and didn't stop. The flavor was okay but wouldn't order this again.

Good food for the price. Grant it, lots of the items are more "tex-mex" than authentic mexican, but they are good. The tacos are more authentic (all but chicken, because chicken tacos are not a thing). They are served with onions and cilantro and different salsas. When we are in the area, we visit and eat there.

si van a cerrar a las 9:30 cambien el horario va uno a comprar 930 y ya están cerrando que mal plan

Hair in food bad bad bad not a clean place I will never eat here again never ever nunca volveré a comer aquí
