    Solid spot for tacos and drinks. Good mix of laid back vibe with great menu options. Chimichanga was amazing, definitely a standout Street corn was really good and packed with flavor Lobster quesadilla was surprisingly great, not something i expected them to have. Nice atmosphere, good for hanging out or a casual night out. Easy place to go with a group or just grab some tacos and a drink.

    Steak and Sweet Plantain Quesadilla
    Corrina Q.

    I've been dying to try an F&D Cantina, and I finally got the chance to today. We called 30 minutes ahead for a party of 10 (this was an impromptu lunch), and they were able to set up a table for us just in time! My steak and sweet plantain quesadilla was fantastic! Sweet and savory in all the right places :) it definitely filled me up. Our table had a wide variety of food options and everything looked and smelled very appetizing. I loved that all of the food for our table came out at the same time. I loved the decor in here, although it was a small place. My only complaint was that the parking situation kind of sucked, but it's because it's such a busy little plaza. I would come back for sure. Especially for brunch because I saw a sign that said they have a $25 bottomless brunch!

    Street corn and trio dip

    It was pretty mid, I'd give it a 3.5 if I could. Service was good no complaints there Ordered a passion fruit marg and didn't get any passion fruit but no biggie The trio dip was good! Queso could've been warmer but it was enjoyable Street corn was drowned in mayo... and I say this as a mayo lover, it was too much Entrees were just okay, nothing special but the rice was so dry - definitely lots of room for improvement

    In house hot sauces

    I love a good cantina so tried this place the other night for dinner. They have a great happy hour menu and I highly recommend the grande house margarita for $8.50. It's huge and was pretty good. Tried the trio off the HH menu too but was bummed to hear they didn't have a verde salsa option. The mild salsa was flavorful and I liked the queso, even when it cooled off. Service was phenomenal. I had no shortage of water or food and was even offered some homemade hot sauce. Liked the habanero chipotle. The al pastor tacos were super salty though - couldn't finish them. The space itself is cool with great lighting. Was going to dine out on the patio but there was no one else out there.

    F&D Cantina is a nice casual place to have lunch or dinner in the Lake Mary area. This restaurant is located in a nice plaza among other shops and restaurants. Our company dined here under a reservation on a Thursday night. The service was quick and easy. Our server was very nice. We enjoyed the chips and dips for appetizers. Half the table ordered tacos, and the other half was a split between bowls and fajitas. Everyone enjoyed their dishes. For dessert, we tried the chocolate molten lava cake, which was not good. The cake itself was good but the jam and rum is not a good mix. Nobody at the table enjoyed it. The pricing is very affordable. All 7 of us were able to eat for under $150. We will return!

    Happy hour menu

    So good, service was very attentive and nice. Ambiance was really good, and pretty restaurant. No kids menu, probably wouldn't return with my children

    Cute little Mexican place. Smaller place but set up and decorated nice. Been here a few times and have enjoyed it every time. Really good margaritas and specials. Absolutely love their queso. The guacamole was good. I preferred the green salsa while my wife like the red better. The street corn was really good. It comes off the cob in a bowl all dressed. Lastly, tried three enchiladas. All three were really good. I really enjoyed this place all around.

    SMALL GUACAMOLE

    We really enjoyed our first visit to F&D Cantina! We started with guacamole that was made in the kitchen and yet had the flavor of table made with crisp chips. Our fajita trios came out hot and very quick, particularly on a weeknight when they were busy. The flank steak was tender, the shrimp were big and the chicken breast was grilled to excellent flavor. Add in some tasty peppers and onions and it was a tasty combination. Outdoor seating on a breezy warm night added to a very good food experience.q

    An absolute new favorite of mine in Lake Mary - great atmosphere, friendly staff, and delicious food! After my Saturday cycle, I was starving and went for Mexican and I could not have picked a better place. Paulina, my server, was an absolute sweetheart. My Prickly Pear Margherita was yummy and refreshing. The steak and sweet plantain quesadillas are a MUST if you come here - maybe the best I have ever had. As far as bar/restaurants where you can kick back and enjoy drink specials (with indoor and outdoor seating), well, I basically dare you to try and find anything better than F&D Cantina. 10/10!

    Passion fruit marg
    Laura P.

    This place was busy but the service was quick m, drinks were good and food was very tasty. I had the passion fruit and prickly pear marg. The prickly pear was better and had more flavor. We tried the dip trio with a green salsa side. Then me and my step daughter split the app combo it had empanadas, flautas, bacon jalapeños , and spin dip. All so good and hot the cilantro sauce to dip items in was so good like you could put it on a shoe and it would be good. My partner had the trio fajita and street corn. He loved the meats and the corn and all the sides. This place is legit and very tasty. We will def go back when in town next time. The area is great to walk around on also

    Mango Magarita

    F&D Mexican Spot is sooo good! The fajitas are packed with flavor, and everything tastes super fresh. The vibe is chill, the service is friendly, and the portions won't leave you hungry. Definitely a go-to if you're craving real Mexican eats!

    Interior of the restaurant! Really pretty light fixture

She was attentive without being overbearing, quick with recommendations, and clearly knowledgeable about everything on the menu.

She took the time to tell us about the MVP program and explained all the benefits in a way that was clear and genuinely helpful. On top of that, she made sure we knew about the 2-for-1 drink specials, which definitely made the night even better! Ashley didn't just serve drinks -- she created an experience.

We can be a wild group and our server jived with us perfectly, which we appreciate. The spinach dip and chips were delicious, I believe we ordered two sets of this appetizer. We ordered regular stuffed mushrooms and an order of their crab stuffed mushrooms which were excellent. We ordered Onion Rings, fried calamari, and the Tex-Mex Eggrolls, which were all freshly fried and delicious. For my entrée I went with the full rack of ribs, a side of skewered shrimp, garlic mashed potatoes, and steamed broccoli. The ribs were super tender and all of the sides were cooked perfectly and had plenty of great flavor. I ordered one of their holiday drink specials, the Cookie Butter Old Fashioned but ended up switching to a traditional old fashioned because this one was a bit too sweet for me. I also closed out my meal with an Espresso Martini which was excellent. Everyone else enjoyed their meals and there were plenty of leftovers to go around for those that wanted them. We usually go to Texas Roadhouse for our holiday celebration but they don't have tables big enough for larger groups which means we will have to sit a two separate tables. This year we wanted to try something different and Duffy's worked out perfectly. Great Job Duffy's, we will be back!

This place is seriously impressive... the humidor feels like walking through a cigar-themed grocery store.

They have lots of tables, a large bar, and even a private area if you have the need for it. We got two mocktails because we were participating in dry January. I got the passion fruit Boat Drinks and my wife got the Hibiscus Nojito. Both drinks were really good! To start we got the French Onion soup and the Pig and the Bee flatbread. Both were really tasty. The French Onion soup was nicely balanced with the perfect amount of cheese on top. Next time we'll ask for more croutons. The flatbread was delicious!! It was the thinnest, crispiest flatbread I've ever had with the right amount of toppings. The salty and savory meats with the drizzle of hot honey was perfect. For entrees my wife got the Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Shrimp and I got the Staff Meal which happened to be a Chicken and Bacon carbonara...the gnocchi was incredible. The textures and flavors were amazing. The carbonara was really good too but the gnocchi stole the show. For dessert we got a latte and a cappuccino and got the Cherry Cobbler to go.

Regardless, I prefer this versus large paper menus or scanning a QR code to look up the menu. I decided on the Carnitas Fajitas for lunch which came to $14. This is a bit expensive for lunch but I did order Fajitas, so that's my bad, lol! The dinner portion is $22.50 which actually is priced competitively to other restaurants in the area. They do offer more affordable lunch options, but I decided to splurge a little. Our food was out in about 15 minutes and my fajitas were sizzling hot just the way I like them. It was well worth the $14 and I was stuffed most of the day after devouring this plate along with all the chips, salsa, and queso. There were four of us in the party and everyone was happy with their meal. Great Job Zacapa Team, we will be back soon!
