This place is the absolute best. After spending a quarter of my life in Southern California, I've…read morealways been chasing that authentic Mexican food vibe and taste, and Aca-pulquito nails it better than anywhere else I've found in Orlando. I've tried over 20 different Mexican spots in the area, and this one easily takes the crown for authenticity. It's a small corner restaurant with huge flavor. The portions are generous, the ingredients always fresh, and the flavors consistently incredible. My personal favorite is the ceviche, it's packed with more meat than any ceviche I've ever ordered, and the flavor is out of this world. Their enchilada sauce is to die for, and they somehow get their rice perfect every single time. I've tried nearly every meal here and haven't found a single thing to complain about. The service is always friendly and spot-on, too. This is my go-to spot for real Mexican food, hands down the most authentic and satisfying experience in Orlando.

We visited Cocina Maya Mexican Grill & Mezacaleria on Saturday for lunch after seeing it on social…read moremedia. We ordered the Elotes off the cob ($11.99) and the Molcajete ($30) which is grilled fajita steak, chicken, chorizo, shrimp, onions, nopal cactus and cheese. We also ordered one Margarita ($16). We first experienced a Molcajete in a restaurant in Mazatlan, Mexico and fell in love with it and all of its ingredients including the cactus. This Molcajete at Cocina Maya was soooo tasty. Served in an actual Molcajete which is made from lava rock and it holds the heat very very well. We shared this between the two of us and still had a decent amount to bring home with us. The Elotes was very tasty and the corn was nice and firm and it was perfect. Service was friendly and attentive. The dining room is light in colors and there is a lot of light that shines through the windows. This restaurant is a good distance from our home, and well worth the drive to it. We most definitely recommend this tasty restaurant.

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..

Not overpowering but the reassuring smell that they take food safety seriously. They are located in a Publix shopping plaza and have booths, tables and a bar with stools. I sat in a booth and came specifically for lunch because Amanda, another Yelper, had called out the deals. I was really impressed with their salsa. Usually I want queso but this had such a fresh taste and to me had an old school chunky texture you rarely find. I ate way too many of the complimentary chips and salsa. I ordered the lunch ribeye and the lunch chicken fajitas. The fajitas came out in the traditional sizzling presentation. They tasted as good as they looked with all the fixings. The steak was for later. A lot of time a thin lunch steak does not come out to a medium rare. This was spot on and the steak was juicy and tender. A really good steak! Both meals came with tortillas that maybe were homemade? The server greeted me and took my order right away. I had asked for some modifications and I thought it was nice she repeated them back to me so the kitchen would get it right. My bill was presented and quickly processed on a handheld device. Overall the ambiance of this restaurant is a neighborhood family place. I appreciated that they offer extremely neat bathrooms and a selfie wall for celebrations.

The flavor was lacking and didn't have a strong coconut or pineapple flavor. It came just as pictured, no whip cream or even a pineapple garnish. The enchilada was also lacking in flavor as well.

Our server Adriana was amazing. She was efficient and attentive. We ordered our food and it was out in about 10 minutes. All of it. Fresh and hot. Fajitas were good. My son loved his queso burger. I ordered the carnitas bowl. It had slow roasted pork, cilantro, avocado, garlic, Chimichurri, rice, beans and plantains. Everything was delicious. If you like Mexican food you have to try this place. The only disappointing thing is that I live 4 hours away. I can't wait to come back. Great service, great food and I liked the ambiance. Not loud, cozy and comfortable.
