    Esquites
    Rocky M.

    Don Poncho's is a cozy restaurant with incredible mexican food that all tastes home cooked. During my last visit we ordered the beef chimichanga and their pechuga asada. Both meals come with rice and beans and the pechuga asada came with tortillas on the side. The meals were incredibly delicious and a great portion for the price. The restaurant also has an area with different salsas and toppings so that you can customize what you put on your meal. For an appetizer, we tried the esquites and they were just okay. The flavors were good but they were quite liquidy for my liking. Overall, a great place for mexican food with super kind servers. I'd recommend trying some of their main courses + their tacos are super tasty.

    Service staff was very polite and welcoming. Dining area was clean and tidy. Food was very good. I will be coming back for more.

    Chicken fajitas

    We had a great experience and meal at Don Poncho. The owner was so welcoming and the waitstaff was attentive our entire meal. We had the chicken fajitas which was packed with a great lime flavor. The portion was huge! I shared the meal with my husband and we still took home food. Plus it was reasonable at $16. We also had the shredded chicken and birria tacos which were also very good. They have a salsa topping bar so you can customize any of your meal selections which we loved. Most dishes come with corn tortillas, but you can ask for flour.

    I was recommended this place and now I cannot recommend it enough. Our server Leidy was so sweet and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. I'm Mexican and when I tell you this food was so good! It tasted like my grandmother was in the back making everything for scratch. They have great lunch specials but we really went there for their chilaquiles. We have heard such great things about them. We also ordered the gorditas de chicharrón and a kids meal. They have a salsa bar with so many great homemade salsas that all have great flavor. We added chicken and egg to our chilaquiles. They had such a great seasoning that I had never had before. It was mesmerizing. The Gorditas were so good and we could tell they were made from scratch. The kids meal consisted of two tacos, with rice and beans. It also included a drink. I cannot recommend this place enough. Everything is authentic and has great taste.

    I have seen the restaurant on my way to downtown WG and kept it in mind to try. I was in the area and craving tacos and decided to stop by. The restaurant has plenty of inside seating, a salsa station and you order at the counter. The girl that took my order was friendly and attentive. I also was greeted by another lady (owner or manager) and she mentioned that I should come back for breakfast time (they open early at 5am!) since they have available a buffet style counter with various dishes to choose and order. My order was to go, since I needed to get back home. I had the tacos estilo de la calle with comes with 3 tacos and a side of rice and beans. I had 2 shredded chicken y 1 chicharron (upcharge). Everything was packaged with care to be kept hot and it was delicious! Flavorful, tasty, made to order and authentic for sure. I even got chips and salsa which was a nice touch and the salsa was good! I will definitely come back and I will try to make it for a late breakfast.

    I'm convinced I've never had authentic Mexican food before. I've been to great Mexican and Tex-Mex restaurants but never as authentic as Don Poncho. I placed takeout order to pick up. We ordered 5 things and it took 20 mins which is pretty fast. When I went to pick up the order, the inside of the restaurant is minimally decorated but pretty clean with about 10ish tables. The staff at the pickup counter was very friendly and efficient. We ordered the following: 1. Birria Queso tacos - These are extremely delicious! I love dipping the tacos in the consommé. 2. Tortas sandwich - Very good sandwich and a lot of food for the price! 3. Menudo - The best thing I've tried here! I know beef tripe isn't for everyone but the soup was super flavorful and the tripe were very tender. 4. Guacamole - Good and fresh, came with 2 bags of chips. 5. Flautas - Tasty Parking was pretty easy since the restaurant is located in a small mall with free parking lot.

    Este restaurante tiene una comida muy buena, el restaurante estaba vacío por lo que la comida llegó muy rápido. Me gustó mucho tenían como un mini salad bar con pimientos, cilantro, salsas entre otras cosas, que puedes tomar para añadir a tu plato. La salsa con totopos muy buenos. Los baños muy limpios y los precios asequibles...

    Birria street taco

    OH MY GOD!! This place is a GEM in Winter Gardens. The food is made authentically the Birria was on point ! Not to say the rice , beans, the salsa and guacamole was awesome. The prices were unbelievable for the quality, taste and quantity. Wait !!that's not all the server Julie was so accommodating, I felt like family she really loves her job there and it shows. The manager was also very nice. If you have not been you there you don't know what you are missing!!

    Came here to celebrate my daughter's first birthday yesterday. Unfortunately, both my toddler and…read moreone year old were not in the best mood. The server was extremely friendly and accommodating. He made sure to get the chips and salsa out quickly to help my hangry children. We were only able to order cheese enchiladas. But they were really good. The red sauce wasn't the typical tangy and spicy enchilada sauce, it was a bit sweeter (possibly a mole type sauce). Definitely plan to come again when the kiddos are in a better mood and try more of the menu!

    We swung in on a Tuesday night around 7:30 pm- half the dining room is empty and you could tell…read morethat they were clearly trying to keep that section closed off because they didn't have the staffing. The manager was going back-and-forth between being in the kitchen as well as seating people at the hosting stand which led me to believe that there must've been call-ins or scheduling has just been not great. We ended up being seated, but had to wait for them to clear off a booth because they didn't wanna seat in the other section. They clearly had closed off. We ordered our food, but our server seemed really disengaged like she was just going through the motions. Food came out super quickly. I did order a sparkling sangria that was nonalcoholic and it basically just tasted like Pepsi so not exactly sure what it was supposed to taste like but it definitely didn't have any sangria flavoring. My husband got a glass of water, but sadly you could tell that they must've either just got it out of the sink or just hand wash it because you could literally taste the soap. I got an order of the tamales, which were good. They definitely are a little spicy so be aware of that if you are opposed to spice, but the serving was large and I ended up taking it home to have for lunch the next day. My husband got the Carnitas and I will say the Carnitas seem like they were more shredded then they were previously. Overall, it was an OK experience. It feels like perhaps as if management has changed because it's definitely not as friendly nor as organized as it used to be..

They always start you off with fresh chips and salsa (and you can upgrade to a variety of different salsas for a small extra cost). The drinks are consistently well-made and never disappoint. Our go-to appetizers are the street corn, queso fundido, and the guacamole, everything tastes super authentic and full of flavor. We usually order our absolute favorite: the Monterey tacos (a must-try that you can only find at Agave Azul).

This time, we switched it up and tried the steak fajitas, shrimp tacos, and taco salad, and every dish was delicious.

Whether you go for the Churros with cajeta or the rich five-layer Pastel de Chocolate, you're in for a treat. Definitely worth a visit!

No issues with my sensitive stomach which some time has difficulties with texmex. The rooftop has great sunset views and is good for groups if you can find a spot. We tend to order the same things. I get a cocktail off the menu and tacos. My hushes a beer and a burrito. His burrito came out incorrectly two visits in a row so he has switched to tacos and has not had that issue since. Be aware. My only consistent complaint now is that I really with you could order your drinks at the same time and at the same touchpoint as ordering food. Having to wait in a line to order food and then wait again at the bar to get a bartenders attention to then wait again for a drink is a hassle and a bit annoying. The bartenders are also quite slow here we have noticed (both upstairs and down). We have waited for drinks longer than food on more than one occasion. So this leaves me alone holding our table while my husband waits for drinks to be made and often food gets delivered while that happening and starts to cool. Annoying right? But otherwise food is good. Drinks are interesting. Great rooftop. It's a decent and easy spot to grab a quick easy dinner I just wish they fix that issue.

    Torchy Taco's is a fast casual quick service restaurant located in Winter Garden, across from the…read moreWinter Garden Village. They are a Tex Mex style chain which started in Texas. They are delicious tacos and I have been a few times. I finally was able to take my husband for lunch and he loved it as well. Inside they have many tables as well as a bar. If you are looking for a alcoholic drink of any sort, you will need to order from the bar separately from your food. If you come here, one thing that must be ordered is their queso. Their queso is green Chile queso topped with guacamole, cotija cheese, cilantro and diablo sauce, served with tortilla chips. You can jazz it up and add chorizo but the regular version is just fine. This is probably one of the best queso's I have had. It is truly delicious. You do get more queso then chips, and I am not sure if they would bring you more chips. I also noticed this last time, they had a trio which was half orders of the green chile queso, guacamole, and your choice of salsa. This will need to go on my list. For food, they have a wide variety including tacos, fajitas, burritos, salads, bowls, and even breakfast tacos. I always get the same thing, really because their menu is so large it gets overwhelming for me. However, there are quite a few tacos I would like to try. I looked at their website and it is much easier to read, to be honest. But I go for the Trailer Park which is fried chicken, green chiles, lettuce, pico de gallo, mixed cheese with poblano sauce on a flour tortilla. It is absolutely delicious and very tasty. I prefer to get no pico as I do not like onions. I also love and it's probably my favorite, the Fried Avocado which is fried avocados, refried pinto beans, pico de gallo, lettuce, mixed cheese with poblano sauce on a corn tortilla. You can swap to a flour tortilla if you want. My husband ordered the The Bonfire Bowl with jerk chicken, it had cilantro lime rice, black beans, spinach, diced mango, pickled onions & jalapeños, pistachios, and avocado sauce. He loved it!!! It was a huge bowl as well so very filling. The only thing I was missing when I go, is taco sauces. Some of the tacos do come with a sauce, but I would love a variety of different sauces to try. You can substitute different sauces on the menu, but I am not sure of what they actually have. They also offer happy hour Monday through Friday at the bar and then weekend drink specials. I know we will be coming back here to try their happy hour and have more of their food. This is definitely a place you need to visit!

The Vibe: Located in a strip mall with shared parking, the restaurant itself is actually quite cute inside, with tablecloths on each table and a full-service bar near the entrance. That said, when we first walked in, there was an unpleasant, slightly mildew-like odor, which made us question the overall cleanliness. The restaurant was about ¼ full, which felt like a decent sign for a weekday evening. Service: Service was excellent from start to finish. We were seated quickly, given chips and salsa right away, and our server was attentive and efficient throughout the meal. What We Ordered: * Enchiladas Combination (cheese, beef, and chicken with red sauce, you can choose red or green) * Puntas de Filete in Salsa Verde * Sprite & Coke First Impressions: The food came out extremely fast--under 5 minutes, which made it feel more reheated than freshly prepared. Food Quality: Unfortunately, the food lacked flavor across the board. The chips and salsa were underwhelming--the salsa was very watery with little to no spice. The enchiladas were quite dry, lacking sauce, and topped with an overwhelming amount of cheese. My husband ordered the Puntas de Filete in Salsa Verde, hoping for something similar to chile verde, but it didn't come close. The dish lacked depth of flavor and mostly tasted like beef and raw onions. He also requested medium rare, but it came out closer to well-done. Even the refried beans had an unusual, overly garlicky taste that felt a bit off. Overall: While the service was great, the food unfortunately didn't meet expectations--especially for a place positioning itself as western-style Mexican. Average food, standout service. We were hoping to find a go-to spot reminiscent of California Mexican food, but this one missed the mark for us.
