Amazing food the burrito was superior! Sure! Here's another version: "Had an amazing dining experience here! The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive. Every dish we tried was delicious, and the flavors were spot on. The burrito was especially memorable.I can't stop thinking about it! It's clear that the team takes pride in their food, and it really shows. If you're looking for a place this is it. read more

THIS PLACE HAS SUCH GOOD FOOD! Love the birria and the pozol. There isn't a bad thing you can order. Patricia your review sucks! I hope you eat dirt! read more

My bestie and I went here today, wanting to try a New Mexican place. The place is small and seems to cater to take out, but that didn't stop us. We sat down and was able to order food pretty quickly. We each had a burrito combo and it was delicious. I can't vouch for the chips and salsa since we didn't order those but we were happy with our food and can't wait to come back. read more

Worse place I have ever eaten! Took forever. Authentic? You can take cornmeal and mix water and eat it.

AMAZING FOOD GREAT SERVICE That b*tch Martha who reviewed this place as bad is WRONG and she has NO idea what she's talking about. Im a regular customer. The food is always delicious and fresh. The people who work there are so kind and friendly. This is always my first choice when I don't want to make dinner myself. LOVE THIS PLACE. read more

Great hidden local gem. This place was a little tough to find since the address that was listed was wrong. Hopefully that will soon be fixed. This is a very small local place that has outstanding food. I showed up there late at the end of the night and it was absolutely empty aside from the people working there. I was prepared to receive a mediocre meal since I am certain they were nearing the end of their day. Much to my surprise I received hot and delicious food. I ordered an Al Pastor Sope and an Asada Torta. The Sope was on a freshly fried masa base and was wonderfully crispy. The pork was delicious! Tender, full of flavor, and juicy. The torta was equally delicious and full of flavor. The meat was well cooked and tender. The sandwich as a whole was wonderful. The additional red and green sauces served on the side were also fantastic. This place absolutely knocked it out of the park especially late at night and ready to go home. They were very friendly and attentive. Go check them out! read more

Que Rico!! Amazing Tacos, homemade corn tortillas were delicious. We got a variety of tacos, pollo, asada, pastor , and chorizo.... the pastor and chorizo were out favorites. The green sauce has a small kick and was delicious on the tacos along with the guacamole sauce. Definitely recommend dropping in for a quick lunch or dinner, and supporting a locally owned business! We can't wait to go back and try the tamales, sopas and quesadillas! read more

El Pastor Mexican Food - Tacos were very yummy. The corn tortillas are hand made. Totally recommend. Picture is 2 tacos de birria and one de asada. - Mexican Near Me - Umatilla, Florida

The food is really good taste like authentic Mexican food because it is ambience is fine very pleasant demeanor just don't try to get a takeout order in the last 30 minutes they will not answer the phone. I feel that a restaurant should stay open, when they post their hours and it says they're open a lot of places in Umatilla will close early or not take orders in the last 20 or 30 minutes of the day. I've only seen this in Umatilla I've never seen it anywhere else. read more

The absolute worst dining experience we have ever had. The owner waited on us and he was so rude. I had eaten take out from there and it was great, but after our experience tonight we will never go there again. We are all supporting local family owned businesses but not this place. If I could give it less than 1 star I would. read more

Rode on my bike in search of the elusive "Great Taco". It was EL Pastor's mega burrito, a totally satisfying home made meal. Proving the adage that the problem with Mexican food is that you eat it and three days later, you're hungry again!, the burrito I was served was big enough to feed a family read more

Quick first visit: had the pastore tacos which were good. Condiments were cabbage, cilantro, and a mild green salsa. I need to go back and try their other offerings. They need to post a menu on the wall. Very basic place, kind of like a food truck in a building. read more

I would actually rate it at 3.5 stars. It's decent food. Limited menu. Honestly it seemed better with friendlier service when they were out running it out of the truck. read more

The guy taking our order seemed really bummed and inconvenienced. Children's music playing loudly on the TV... huge difference from El Taco Loco on Orange ave we went to yesterday with very friendly service and Mexican music videos playing. The food was authentic though. The tacos are smaller with less flavor than El Taco Loco. I wont be back. There's a lot of authentic Mexican food places to choose from in this area. Maybe the server was having a bad day & I do understand that children need entertainment while their parents are working. I personally don't care for loud children's music during my meal though & can't imagine someone having a date here or coming here for the atmosphere. I noticed everyone else got their food to go. I think that's your best bet. read more

First off service is TERRIBLE . The guy was extremely rude as we walked in . My and my friend got there after a fall festival with out babies . It was super difficult to find where to park and when we finally walked in we were surprised by the way we were treated , immediately a face of annoyance overpowered the guy behind the counter . I asked if he had agua de Coco and he responded with what he did have so I got the agua de Jamaica . Since we had been outside at the festival before coming in we had to get situated with bathroom trips and washing our hands and all that . When I sat down he walked over and I hadn't gotten a chance to look at my menu but I felt the pressure that I had to ordered NOW as he just stared at me . I asked him about the quesadilla , he answered. I saw that they had nachos and said " I'll have the nachos " and he said back very rude and annoyed " So what about the quesadilla " I said " huh? " he said " Don't you want the quesadilla " and me and my friend just looked at each other . I made a comment about how he lacked customer service and he never went back to our table after . His girlfriend took care of us , I say girlfriend because we saw them hugging and kissing in the back . Also , they had their child there suiting at one of the table older girl maybe 8 ish and it was such a huge distraction to our girls . Constantly calling for them or taking the toys my daughter and my friends daughter brought with them . Encouraging them to put their feet on the tables and move the furniture around with her . She DEFINITELY wasn't being supervised properly . She was left in the lobby with us while the food was being made . I left that place with my anxiety through the roof ! Nachos were good BUT do NOT recommend unless you can take someone being rude to you for no reason and the stress of the environment!!!! read more

I've never had a complaint about my food. It's always been delicious! I could eat there everyday n not get tired off it. My favorites are the pork nachos and fish tacos I recommend those to anyone who's not sure what to try the first time. read more

Really authentic Mexican food! I had two authentic tacos, one asada (beef) and one Al pastor (pork) , and a sope with carne asada. The tortillas were perfect on the tacos and the sauces were awesome! The food was clearly made fresh and well. I also had got horchata (which was soooooo good btw) and flan de chocolate (super rich and creamy) atmosphere is your typical family Mexican restaurant. Would highly recommend if looking for AUTHENTIC MEXICAN RESTAURANT. read more

El Pastor Mexican Food - two tacos on a yellow plate - Mexican Near Me - Umatilla, Florida

I'll start of by mentioning, I did not eat any food from this restaurant. My rating is based simply on the cold, disrespectful way I was treated and spoken to by the young man behind the counter when I walked in the restaurant. I have never been to this restaurant and wanted to give it a try. As I walked in I saw there was only one table that had customers seated. I approached the front counter where young man was standing. I was approximately 2 feet from him and stood there for a good minute without him saying anything to me. He knew I was there but he chose to ignored me as he looked down at the front counter moving around papers. I broke the uncomfortable silence by saying, "Hello" and without looking up at me, to respond to my greeting, in a annoyed and frustrated tone of voice, he said, "For here or to go?" I told him this was my first time to his restaurant and before I could say anything else, he interrupted me, and again, in the same tone and manner, but this time, a more assertive tone, he looked up, stared at me, and repeated, "For here or to go?" It was clear to me, I was not a welcomed customer but instead, I was an unwelcome annoyance. At that moment an older gentleman walked out from the back, handed me a menu and asked if he could help me. Unfortunately for him, it was too late. I do not want to consume food from anyone who clearly did not like me or wanted me at there restaurant. I politely told the older gentleman that I changed my mind about eating at his restaurant. This seemed to concen him because he clearly didn't want me to leave. He asked me why I was leaving and if there was anything wrong. The young man just stood quietly behind the counter staring at me not making any effort to try to help fix the situation he created, as the older gentleman tried to understand what had happened. I feel the older gentleman knew I was treated as an annoyance by the young employee, rather than a welcomed guest. The older gentleman stared at the young employee as if this isn't the first time this young man has done something wrong. I would have liked to have given this restaurant a chance but I never allow anyone who doesn't like me to handle my food. I'm new to Umatilla and I want to support the businesses in my new city. There is no reason to be disrespectful to people you first meet. That's something I hope this young man learns quickly. When I left the restaurant I drove about a mile or two, down N CENTRAL which turns to MAIN ST.. At BENT TREE RD in Altoona, there's a great little Mexican food taco truck at the Sunoco gas station. There's two sweet Mexican ladies that serve great food. It can get a little busy and not a lot of parking at times but that's a clear sign the food and service is good. read more

I know these are tough times for small businesses in the food industry and that is why I try to support as many as I can but I can not honestly provide a positive dining in experience of this establishment. I let reviews dictate a big part of my dining decisions and the fact I read 4 star reviews drew me here. I ordered fajitas thinking a new place for me most Mexican restaurants can't go wrong making fajitas. I was gravely mistaken! It was apparent that the only thing fresh in this dish was the green pepper and onions. The meat was like leftover little chips that were almost like jerky. I was in shock how unattached the person that seemed to be the owner taking my order was. He took the order served drinks then proceeded to sit at a table in the back of this very small area listening to hid phone at full volume for all patrons to hear.. he never once came back to table to ask if we wanted anything at all. I hope that me experience was isolated because if this is everyday business, they will not be around very long.. I thought of not writing a review but I could not let other patrons to read these previous reviews and think they are going to a 4 star establishment! read more

Small, locally owned, not fancy, but authentic Mexican. Simple fare, always good. Tacos are excellent. Can have corn or flour soft tortillas, or corn hard shell. Choices of ground beef, steak, chicken, pork; topped with fresh shredded cabbage, cheese- served hot off grill. 2 were perfect for an early dinner. Place is small, with 4 to 5 tables seating 6, and a few tables for 2. Never had a bad meal there. read more

This is my favorite place to eat in town. Great homemade Mexican food. I haven't found anything I dislike yet. Great food best around!

Ordered the enchilada plate....came cold with no sauce. Lettuce, tomato, sour cream on top with a squirt of green sauce. I think it was supposed to be the guacamole. Very bland no real flavor. The meat was dry. I want order again. The restaurant was very clean. read more

Horrible water for tea plus it was $2.60 a glass and very little ice and no flavor. Had the burrito and it was bland and they forgot the guacamole. read more

Really a great place! Loved the food! The service was great! The server was super sweet! Definitely recommend it! Very affordable

The best Mexican food I have ever had. Been there several times and plan to return many more.

Absolutely awesome burritos!!! Totally different than all the other plain Mexican restaurants around!!! Found this place on accident just driving by. Glad I stopped in... Definitely going to be back! Apparently the map shows its down by Pizza Hut abs the shop and save, but it's really next door to the gator grill. read more

Restaurant 1-30-20 STILL NOT OPEN. Owner is constantly swearing, one more day, one more day. Inspection problems constantly. I have no idea when it will be over. read more

The food was good, but the service was horrible. The guy in there was in no way interested in serving us; he was more concerned with sitting on a chair and playing on his phone. I had to keep calling out for him just to get his attention and even had to get up just to find him. Finally, he also he has no respect for anyone as he threw my card, the receipt, and the pen on the counter instead of handing it to me while my hand was out. Will I be going back or recommending it to anyone? Absolutely not. read more

The most delicious and authentic Mexican food I've found in the area! My husband and I ordered tacos and they were all amazing! Great service, clean restaurant! read more

The food was by far the best Mexican food I have ever had! I was driving by and needed a quick bite! Wonderful food and wonderful service!

My wife and I stopped in after driving by many times. Now it is our go to place when we are in town. It is family owned and such nice people. I never bff ave chosen Mexican food as a first choice until here. They make everything from scratch. Love the flavors. Many of the family cooks but everyone produces the same high quality food. We have been back many times and take our friends there. They all agreed with my assessment. It is a hidden treasure located in downtown Umatilla. read more

It's a shame the people that work there aren't as concerned with customer service as they are with the food, which was pretty tasty. The tacos are some of the best I've had, but make sure you hide your cash if you want to use a debit/credit card. After first saying the machine was broken, we scraped some cash together, then the owner told us the machine did work but because he saw we had cash he refused to let us pay with a card. I get that they have to pay fees on cc transactions but the bill was over $20 so it shouldn't have been an issue. Our food was to go and at this point I was really hoping the food would suck, but it was delicious. The customer service needs a lot of work though. I'm going back for more tacos, but I'm gonna hide my cash when I do. read more
