When I saw it, I had a feeling it was the diamond in the rough. This place is cozy. And by that I mean there are only 4 tables, and one of them had boxes on it. Luckily there weren't a lot of people dining in. The main business is a grocery, but they do have a small menu and paletas and gelato.

But I got carne asada and its some of the best Ive ever had. What i loved the most is how affordable it was. Service was a little slow.

The ambiance was eh, there were lots of flies and it was noisy but pretty standard for this kind of restaurant. Bottom line, food was good and I'd come back.

The three of us ordered the $15.99 3 white enchiladas platter and the $14.99 3 ground beef tacos platter to share, ate until we were full and still took home a to-go-box. The restaurant brought us extra plates and serving spoons so we could split the food into individual portions with ease. It's possible to substitute sides without an extra charge, and we love the freedom of being able to customize. I love the Mexican rice with refried beans. Therefore, I substituted the lettuce, tomato and sour cream "salad" side that comes with the three enchiladas for refried beans, making the sides Mexican rice and refried beans. The tacos came with cilantro rice, which tasted like standard cilantro rice. My mom preferred the Mexican rice instead. The tacos only come with one side and adding refried beans is not cheap; it's an additional $4.99. The tacos were stuffed and the filling overflowed onto the plate. The taco shell tasted good, but the shell wasn't up the task of holding all those ingredients and broken apart a little more than half way through. It was finished with knife and fork but still remained delicious. The chips and salsa are plentiful. They volunteered refills. We accepted extra salsa which we used for extra seasoning on the tacos. The restaurant decor is basic Mexican themed - substantial wood chairs, tables and booths. However, booths and chairs have both seats and backs padded for comfort. There is a stocked bar along the back wall, but it's not a "bar scene" place. It's an option for singles dining alone who don't want a table or a space to grab a drink while waiting for your party. There was a large television tuned to a sports station for entertainment. There is outdoor seating, which is directly off the shopping center's parking lot. Therefore, cars line the outdoor sidewalk/eating area. What the outdoor area lacks in ambiance, it makes up for by being dog friendly.

It's still the same family running it, and the quality has remained consistently excellent all these years. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and served piping hot. Their salsa and guacamole are some of my favorites, the margaritas are fantastic, and the menu has so many options that it's honestly hard to decide what to order because everything sounds good. The service has always been friendly, attentive, and welcoming. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in what they do. My family and I have celebrated countless birthdays and special occasions here over the years, often bringing large groups because we know we can always count on a great experience. The staff does an excellent job, even when our party is large, and they consistently make everyone feel welcome. The restaurant is always clean and has a warm, inviting atmosphere, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal with family and friends. It's not easy for a restaurant to maintain this level of quality and consistency for over a decade, but they've done exactly that. If you're looking for authentic, delicious Mexican food with excellent service, this is the place to go. I highly recommend it.

Instead, I gave the Lebanese place a shot, which ended up being great. The whole Eustis Marketplace was dead inside, so I guess it makes sense that we lost Tacos de Oro, but the real question is, why aren't locals supporting businesses like this one? Downtown Mount Dora is hopping by comparison, but downtown Eustis is almost a ghost town most of the time, even though the restaurants in Eustis are really trying. Mystic Ice Cream closed earlier this year, and the restaurant across the street is now gone, too. There was ONE couple eating at Roma Pizza the other night, even though locals seem to love the place. I just don't get it. Step it up, people, or places you love in our town will continue to close forever.

We were about to…read moredrive out to Altamonte Springs for a birthday dinner, but on a whim we checked the menu online for Rosa Mezcal, which opened last year in downtown Eustis -- and we're glad we did. First impression: spotless. The host stand and dining room were immaculate -- not easy for a building that dates back to 1884. The bathrooms were equally clean. Before we even sat down, chips and salsa hit the table, and that pace of attentive service never slowed. Drinks arrived quickly, food came out quickly, and everything was consistently on point. There were at least a dozen occupied tables, so this wasn't staff boredom -- it was genuine operational excellence. Happy Hour was a surprise highlight: 2-for-1 20 oz Modelo drafts and 12 oz house margaritas. Highly recommend Tajín rims on both. The chips, salsa, and queso dip were excellent -- and we definitely overate it because everyone still ordered full entrées. I had the Salmon with Mango Pico de Gallo, vegetables, and rice -- a large, thin fillet lightly seasoned with Old Bay, and topped with diced mango, tomato, and green pepper. At $20 (Feb 4, 2026), that's a strong value. All price points were very reasonable. Around the table we also had: Carne Asada Enchiladas Poblanas (with classic mole sauce) Portobello Mushroom Fajitas (vegan-approved) Whole Fried Snapper All were perfectly prepared. The only "complaint" came from our vegan daughter, who insisted the snapper made eye contact with her once or twice. We'll absolutely be back.

A friend recently recommended La Chiquita, located in an area that we don't pass by often. We made a special trip just to order up their burrito. Maria greeted us and took our order. Was STUNNED to find they serve Lengua! For only $6.99, we got their massive, made-to-order beef tongue burrito with all the goodies (salsa verde, grilled jalapeño, onions, cilantro, etc). We also ordered a Lengua taco. We didn't dine in, so our food was neatly packed up for us. The burrito certainly was huge, to say the least. The tortilla was thin and warm, clearly homemade...and it was Fantastic! Definitely the best tortilla we have tasted since LA. The tongue, however, was not as tasty as we were hoping. The meat was tender but lacked flavor. The filling of rice, beans and vegetables was enjoyable. The taco though....it was outstanding! I wish we ordered a few more. At $2.49, it's a great deal! Topped with fresh onion and cilantro, a squeeze of lime and the amazing salsa verde. What a delicious taco. Can't wait to try more on our next visit to La Chiquita.
