Incredible Mexican restaurant. A great atmosphere. There's a lot going on in this place. They even periodically have dancers that dance on the stage and come down into the crowd. Traditional Mexican female dancers. The food was scrumptious. Not too spicy but very savory. The salsa is very fresh and has a unique twist. I've never eaten here on the city walk, but it will be one of my favorites! The queso is absolutely incredible too... the service was really good as well read more

Chimichanga and tableside guac were good. It seems like the guac that comes with the dishes are not made in house and definitely differ from table side guac. Service was a little slower, but it's nice to not be rushed after being at the parks all day. read more

We had 2 reservations for a group of 8 (4 and 4). We asked to merge our reservations and push our tables together and were told we would have to wait an hour and a half longer, which seemed nuts to me because the restaurant was pretty empty. Mark was our server. He seemed very sad and depressed. Queso 9/10 Not all of the cheese was melted so some of it was still stringy. The flavor was great though Tableside guac 3/10 Not sure who made this but it was suuuper salty, we couldn't even eat it. We had to send it back the salt was just too much. I tried some of the guac that came on the side with my cousins quesadilla, and it was very good- that one wasn't salty. Birria tacos 10/10 We got them on the flour tortillas. Meat was soft and tender. Really good. I didn't like the consume though. It would have been nice if all the onions were inside the taco, they were pretty messy on top. read more

Stopped here because they offer plant based steak tacos. The place was crowded but our server still did a decent job taking care of our table. The complimentary chips and salsa were just okay, but the cheese empanada and tacos were pretty good. There were dancers during dinner which was fine for the kids in the restaurant. The vibe was neither bad nor good. Overall, it was a fine place with yummy food. read more

Good menu, decent service for a hopping place, tables a smidge crowded though...as we felt like we were seated in a major thoroughfare it was hard to enjoy our food as much with people constantly brushing past. Massive portion sizes for the free chips and salsa, which were both tasty. Portion and flavor on the steak street taco plate great, and while the taste was really good on the chicken enchiladas too, the portion size was quite small there. Overall a good meal. read more

Fiesta or Frenzy? A Colorful Night with Mixed Notes We stopped in at Antojitos Authentic Mexican Food for dinner during an evening at Universal CityWalk and chose to sit at the bar rather than wait about 35 minutes for a table. Since it was just the two of us, that worked out well and we were seated quickly. One thing that caught me off guard, though, was seeing a young child--probably around 10--also seated at the bar. The restaurant definitely knows how to make an impression. The bright colors, festive décor, and live music create a lively, high-energy atmosphere that draws you in. That said, after a full day at Universal Orlando, it felt like a bit much. Between the neon lighting, packed crowd, and loud music, it quickly became overwhelming. The live guitarist added to the vibe, but the songs felt unusually long or repetitive at times. I appreciated the creativity of the space, from the different dining areas to the varied lighting styles--it really celebrates Mexican culture--but it leans more toward a "Friday night party" feel than a relaxed dinner spot. And the wall of decorated baby dolls near the restroom? Definitely memorable... just not in a way I fully understood. Service was a highlight. Our server, Abby, was friendly, attentive, and consistently checked in without being overbearing. She made sure we always had what we needed. The food, unfortunately, was hit or miss. We started with chips and guacamole, which sounded promising with the tableside preparation, but the flavor fell flat--missing salt, lime, and any real kick despite choosing medium spice. Some of the chips were stale or oddly chewy, which didn't help. The drinks--a margarita and michelada--were solid but nothing standout. My husband's steak quesadilla was good, about what you'd expect, while my tortilla soup was underwhelming. The broth lacked depth, and the abundance of tortilla strips quickly soaked up what little liquid there was. If there were additional ingredients like chicken or vegetables, they weren't noticeable. The avocado on it hit the spot! Overall, it was a fun place to experience once, but not somewhere that left a lasting impression. If we find ourselves back in Orlando, we'd probably explore other dining options before returning. read more

After reading some Of the other reviews we were pleasantly surprised when we stopped her during a recent trip to Universal Studios Orlando. The nachos, enchiladas, and parilla steak were all good (though, we'd ask for the cold ingredients on the side of the enchiladas). The parilla steak including a large complete NY strip with tortillas and different sauces. Much larger and better tha I expected. Service was also very good. read more

We made a reservation and were sat right away. The street corn dip was SO good. It had chunky pieces of corn cut straight off the cob. The chimichanga was ok. It was very crispy and taste good but not the best. My husband and I shared a plate. It was a huge serving read more

We were at Universal Florida and were craving Mexican food. We Yelped and found Antojitos and thought it might be a tourist level average restaurant. So we decided to give it a try and it was absolutely delicious! We had the taquitos best we have ever had also had the chicken burrito, tacos and enchiladas were as good as any top Mexican restaurant in Southern California where we live! This is a great restaurant during your travels to Orlando Universal. The cocktails were made perfectly as well! read more

I enjoyed this Mexican restaurant in Orlando a lot. My son had the birria tacos and I had the fajitas. The service was very good. They tended to us very well. That day they had live music playing so that was nice to experience. My mocktail was not too sweet, and just right...refreshing. read more

My husband and I ate here tonight and everyone who helped us in letting us know or table was ready, to the server of our meal and manager stopping by to see that we had everything we needed. The food was excellent and came to our table in a very presentable way, even our drinks were nicely presented too. We loved the cauldron like bowls that the salsa and chips were in prior to our meal. There was a guitarist who played some tunes that were very enjoyable to listen to. The atmosphere was large and had many things to view from the ceilings or the walls depending on where you were seated. We had a great time and will come again to try something else. read more

A very crowded Thursday evening, but we decided that it was worth the wait. We were seated at a two-top in the back of the restaurant. Not the best table, but Okay. We ordered drinks and then a few minutes later our main entree. Because the restaurant was crowded, we were told it would take about 20 minutes before our food would be coming. That was about right. We each had a burrito. Before that we nibbled on the chips and salsa, which were very good. Food was good, service was good. The restaurant was quite loud due to the crowded nature of the place. Hard surfaces also didn't help absorb much of the noise. read more

We had a reservation and still waited over an hour to be seated. The wait was so long that I actually fell asleep while waiting. I wish I were exaggerating. When we finally got to our table, things somehow got worse. After another long wait, our food arrived cold. Nothing says "great dining experience" quite like finally getting your meal after forever and finding out it's barely warm. To top it all off, my Sprite tasted like it had been watered down so much that I started wondering if someone accidentally filled my cup from the sink. At that point, I wasn't sure if I was drinking Sprite or flavored water. The entire experience felt disorganized and frustrating. A reservation should mean you get seated in a reasonable amount of time, not that you have enough free time to take a nap. Between the endless wait, the cold food, and the mystery Sprite-water combo, this was easily one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences I've had. Would not recommend unless you bring a pillow, blanket, microwave, and your own soda. read more

This was an amazing visit! Melissa was an outstanding server! This was my first visit. Our food was so good and served so quickly for a busy Saturday night. Our margaritas were fantastic! The music and vibe of the whole place was so fun! We would be happy to come back read more

We have tried to visit Antojitos several times when visiting Universal Orlando. Each time we chose to go elsewhere because of the extensive wait times. On our last visit, I made a reservation on the Universal app. Our family loves Mexican food and we were excited to give it a try. I was disappointed that even with a reservation and a small party of only 3, we had to sit outside...and it was hot. We did not get to experience the interior other than the check-in station where we were greeted by 2 hosts who both were less than friendly. Our server seemed flustered and needed multiple reminders to refill our water glasses (again it was HOT). She took our order, disappeared, then our food arrived in shifts by different people. It was bizarre. The quality of the food wasn't great. Each of us had different entrees because we like to share and taste as much as we can. We agreed that nothing had flavor except the al pastor taco...where the only flavor was the pineapple. We did enjoy the bottled Mexican Coca Colas. There are so many great places to eat in Citywalk...we won't be going back to Antojitos. If we want low-quality "Mexican" food, we'll go to Taco Bell for less money and more flavor. read more

We tried the birria tacos, chile relleno, and guacamole. The guac was absolutely delicious, and while the birria could have used a bit more flavor, the meat itself was tender and tasty. Sitting at the bar with Armanie and Nadia made the experience even better--they were both so friendly and easy to talk to. Overall, a great spot worth checking out! read more

Came here for dinner! The staff were amazing! The food was so freaking delicious. The queso, and salsa was some of the best I've ever had. The steak fajitas were so dang good. The meat melted in your mouth, so full of flavor. The layout, and design of this pace is pretty cool. It's huge inside. They also have a stage. I'm wondering if they have live music some night. Anyhow, check them out if you're looking for some great Mexican food. read more

The food here? Honestly great! flavorful, well done, no complaints. If this review were based on food alone, easy 5 stars. But the experience? That's where things went off the rails. After waiting about 10 minutes just to reach the hostess stand, I finally got to the front only for a man dressed like a highlighter cosplaying a midlife crisis (yes, a blindingly yellow Despicable Me t-shirt) to slither in and cut the entire line like a villain in a low-budget cartoon. I called it out loudly, because subtlety felt inappropriate for the level of audacity on display, but the hostess, Ameera, just... let it happen. No hesitation, no correction, just a quiet green light for chaos. It was like watching someone hold the door open for bad behavior and wave it inside. And this man, this absolute agent of disorder, looked exactly how he acted. Bald spot shining under the lights like a warning beacon, one eye wandering off on its own journey, chewing like he was trying to win a competitive crunching championship. If "bad vibes" had a physical form, it would be him in that shirt. Naturally, we then got seated directly across from him. Of course. Because why wouldn't the universe double down? So instead of enjoying my meal, I got dinner and a show: front-row seats to him loudly devouring chips and tacos like a human garbage disposal, while his equally delightful entourage, who I can only describe as his loyal little minions-in-training, sat there enabling the whole spectacle. And to top it all off? This man had the nerve to order the cheapest items on the menu for his table, like some kind of bargain-bin supervillain. Cutting lines with premium confidence, but ordering like he left his wallet at home. So yeah: Food: great. Service: questionable at best, especially when it comes to basic fairness. Atmosphere: heavily dependent on whether you're seated near a budget-conscious supervillain and his minion squad. I'd come back for the food. But next time, i'm asking to be seated in the no minions area. read more

We sat at the bar. Our server immediately greeted us and took our order. We didn't go upstairs where they have additional seating. Very spacious indoor place with some outdoor seating. Loud. They had Spanish singing and dancing entertainment. We ordered beer and shared a chimichanga which tasted good. The chips and salsa were a very large portion and delicious, I'd return just for the chips and salsa. Overall, very good ambiance. read more

Nice Mexican restaurant in the Citywalk of Universal. We were seated right away after talking to the check-in counter. We were sitting upstairs in the quiet section while music/dance were going on downstairs. We weren't too hungry, so we ordered Al Pastor Tacos and Torta soup. They were great, delicious. The service was excellent. Food came in fairly quickly--no complaints about this place. The restaurant is nice and modern. I recommend this place for anyone in the Universal resort area looking for great Mexican food. I would definitely return if I ever go back to Universal resorts. read more

The atmosphere of this restaurant felt more like a noisy cafeteria than a place to enjoy a meal. It lacked any kind of warmth or personality, and the setup made it difficult to have a conversation with anyone at my table due to the noise and open layout. The food was incredibly disappointing. The fajitas tasted like they came straight from a freezer bag--completely flavorless and lacking any seasoning. The flour tortillas were hard and clearly not fresh. The tacos were tiny--three small tacos for the price felt like a ripoff. The rice that came with them tasted like instant box rice--again, no flavor. The taco meat was dry and reminded me of something from Taco Bell, definitely not worth the cost. Our waiter was mediocre at best. I understand he had a lot of tables, but we only saw him three times during the entire visit. What really confused me was the decision to serve a plastic child's cup alongside a heavily chemical-scented paper straw. If there's supposed to be an environmental statement there, it completely missed the mark. In short, I cannot recommend this restaurant. For the money spent, at least try to compete with a place like Chuy's or Habanero--restaurants that actually serve flavorful, authentic food made from scratch. This was highly commercialized, bland, and forgettable. Hugely disappointed. read more

Casual atmosphere on CityWalk with dancing and music performances every so often. Our server Tara was incredible. She was so attentive, made sure we had our waters full and that everything came out to our satisfaction. The queso blanco was good, but needs to be eaten right away as it gets thick when it cools. Steak quesadilla was delicious with large pieces of tender steak, peppers, and cheese melded together. Sweet plantains were delicious, some crispy thin bits on the end that are my favorite part! Good food with a fun atmosphere on CityWalk, moderately priced as well. read more

My husband and I used to come here a couple times a month. We love the food, drinks and the atmosphere is great. The entertainment is fun and lively. But our most recent visit is probably our last. Our server seemed miserable and she made our experience miserable too. I ordered the signature pineapple Fire & ice marg, and my husband got an iced tea to start. The drinks took a long time to come out but it was busy as usual so that was ok. The Pineapple Fire & ice marg is usually my favorite! However this time my margarita was warm.. I understand it comes with a popsicle but this was the first time it's ever come out not chilled. Our server came to take our orders. She took my husbands order of steak tacos and just walked away. I yelled out to wait but I don't think she heard me. It's so awkward having to flail to get a servers attention so I hated having to do that. I think she hated I did that too because she seemed so frustrated walking back over to us. I asked for the chicken tacos. We got our food and as usual it was delicious. We both wanted another drink but our server never came back. My husband asked a runner or different server for a refill on his iced tea. I was mid sip when this happened but I figured I would just ask our server for another marg when she came back. But... She never did. We sat and waited a long time and she finally came back and said "you done or?" ... I asked for the check. We normally would have another drink and a dessert at least but we decided to go and have that at a different restaurant at Citywalk. She came back with the check quickly and while I was looking at the tab she came back and snapped it out of my hands. I was in disbelief. We spent the whole dinner waiting for her and the only time she was fast was to take the tab out of my hand. I didn't even have time to add my passholder card. I don't think we'd come back or recommend this place again. I should have talked to a manager that night but we just wanted another drink and dessert at that point. I know we all have bad days but this was unacceptable. Giving two stars because we still loved the food and the entertainers. read more

As a lover of Mexican food I was super excited to try this place as I've heard great things. The restaurant has recently been renovated so very open and modern with a cantina vibe. Decided to pull up to the bar and enjoy the ambiance. Very busy place for a Thursday. If you can't get a seat at the bar, definitely make a reservation. Grabbed some fresh margs and table side made guacamole. Guacamole, 10/10. They make it to order and super fresh. Margs, 8/10. The sour they use is a bit much, but the flavors are amazing. And they will use any tequila you desire. Food: 8/10. The Chimichanga was great but the chicken was a bit bland. My friend has the Al Pastor street tacos. Very well presented and not bad for mass production. Overall, a great place for some good drinks and good bites. Would definitely return. read more

They used all of Lot's wife to flavor everything. I have never experienced so much salt in my life. We did leave a souvenir cup when we left; turned right around to reclaim it and somebody had taken it. Not sure if the restuarant or somebody from another table, but definitely feel like staff kept it. We asked and nobody even cared to talk to us about it. We went in to check on it at the table because of it (and they were already slowing for the night with a ton of attendants just standing around) Service was kind but exceptionally slow. He would go missing from the floor for long lengths of time. The food was also weird; their fajitas did not include basic things like cheese, sour cream, shredded lettuce, rice, or beans. It's a shame, because this place seems to have potential and has a fun ambiance, but I think management needs to be a bit tougher. We are locals and come to CityWalk all the time but will not be back as this dining experience soured the restuarant for us. read more

I really wanted to love this place. Please call ahead and make a reservation. It will likely be packed so you want to do your due diligence. The menu is varied, so you're bound to find something you like. However, the food itself doesn't stand out. This is definitely more of a place you visit for the ambience (the outside and inside decor is beautiful, and there are dancers livening up the place). It took a while to get someone to take our order, but to be fair, it was a Friday night. All in all, I'm not sure I'd go again. If you go, do try the esquites corn appetizer. It's small but it'll be a hit. read more

Underwhelming. I think this Mexican restaurant has lot the plot on New Years Day. For this supposed to be an authentic Mexican restaurant, it lacks flavor and the Mexican flare. The table side guacamole, TRASH! It took about 40 mins for the table side guacamole to come to the table and he asked did we want it spicy, we asked for mild and hot, NEITHER were any form of spicy. Jeff our server was pretty okay. Not amazing but he did his job! The drinks were the best thing but the food was lackluster. The chips were salty to do its job but the salsa was awful! The guacamole was trash! This don't make sense! read more
