    Taco Maker Culture
    Ben M.

    The Rundown: Puerto Rican chain new to the US, they offer reasonable pricing with quality offerings. The review: I wasn't expecting much - taco places I feel tend to be either overpriced or not great. Fortunately this concept was neither! It feels slightly like a mix between Subway and Chipotle - where you place your order and move down the line, adding toppings as you go. We tried their platters and taco pockets, along with their desserts. Pricing was very reasonable and overall the flavors were solid. The taco pockets were a neat design, but not quite as I was expecting. Not sure why, but the photos give off more solid, crunch vibes when in reality it's a very soft item. Not a big deal, just keep this in mind that central piece is just tortilla and not a firm taco. The platters were a nice deal, keep in mind that the nachos are not your typical style as the cheese is not melted. The desserts were not bad, but they didn't feel like a "closing item" and seemed to blend in with the meal. Overall, it's definitely worth stopping in. I'd recommend getting one of their platters, which offer a great value. You can pass on the dessert and still have an enjoyable experience.

    Grande Dinner
    Ryan V.

    Stopped here on a whim the other day. Seen it many times while grabbing pizza from Muzzarellas across the way. That's what my plan was, but, changed my mind at the last minute. Not the worst decision I've made but certainly not the best. I Knew nothing about this place other than the sign said tacos. Let's be honest, there are no bad tacos, just better ones. When you walk in you are greeted with a huge open dining area. Tile floors and brightly colored walls give the place an inviting fun atmosphere. It was about 5:30pm on a Wednesday evening when I visited. No one was there at that time. I walked in to find that the ordering style is just like those of Chipotle or Qdoba. The food options are very similar as well. I walked up to the counter and was greeted by to very nice employees. I took a moment to look through the menus and settled on a Grande Plater which consisted of a burrito a side of tortilla chips, a very large crunchy taco and a scoop of black beans. On the taco I chose to go with ground beef, lettuce, tomato's, cheese and sour cream, in the burrito I went with pork and black beans, topped with cheese, and sour cream. I chose to go with a drizzle of their house made fresh green hot sauce on the burrito and on the chips. I also could not help my self and ordered a side of cheese fries. What can I say I'm a sucker for fries. Everything was made right in front of me as they asked the questions and everything appeared to be fresh. The taco was pretty basic other than being the largest crunchy taco I have ever had. The meat lacked a little spice/seasoning in my opinion, all the veggies were fresh and the green sauce was good. My pork burrito was pretty good. A little on the salty side but did not lack in flavor. I think the green sauce was the star on this one. The cheese fries I just couldn't say no to were were just ok. The fries were precooked and sitting in the hot table and the was squeezed out of a bottle. They were just ok in my opinion. I wish I asked for green sauce on those. Not sure if they will get a second chance or not. The place was clean and the series's good but that's only half of what I was hopping for. If you're in a hurry and need a quick bite this might be the place.

    Food was amazing! Restaurant was very clean! Setup is similar to chipotle but the food tastes better and they offer sweet plantains. The sweet plantains were perfect and made my burrito pop.

    If you want overpriced mediocrity this is your spot! If that's not your jam then may I recommend literally anywhere else? Better off going to Taco Bell where the food would still be slightly better there and cheaper. If you're down to spend $10+ for lunch then go straight to Chipotle or Moe's. Everything about the menu and service indicates a business in distress that is trying to pass off its losses to the unknowing customers that wander in. Do you want rice and beans in that burrito that you're paying $10 for along with a hard taco? Up-charge for both. Water cup? You get bigger cups at the dentist office. And all of this I might overlook if the food was actually tasty. Unfortunately for me and for the future of this eatery it was not.

    I first saw this place at a gas station and did not pay it much attention... I mean it was a taco place at a gas station... well I started seeing billboards for this place on Lake Underhill near the Florida Hospital. It's no longer a place in a gas station.... This place is actually in a plaza across the street. The place is bran spanking new. I was adventurous and decided to take my wife and daughter for dinner... this place boasts of "fresh" guac... When you arrive, the outside is very nice with several signs confirming the fresh guac and fresh salsa. The salsa does NOT disappoint. They offer a red sauce and a green sauce. The red sauce is tad bit on the sweet side, but good and the green sauce is "caliente" hot but sooo good. I ordered a made to order burrito. They have several meat selections and plenty of toppings including "sweet plantains"????????? Well, that's not really Mexican, but it's nice that they offer that. They prices range from $8 and up but they also have a $5 kids menu. Drinks are fountain style, but they also offer Jarritos brand soda bottles and for the peeps that like "cerveza" beer with their tacos, the offer Modelo and other selections. It was about 30 something bucks for three people. The guac is fresh... but it had no salt... fine with me but most people like it with some salt. It is served in a little bitty cup, not what I like, but you get that and some chips in little bag for $2.50. Not a bad place.

    Whether it's tacos, burritos, fajitas or dessert, the food is served fresh and with passion. The menus are full of savory and customizable Mexican food options to fit any taste and any diet. Taco Maker features beef and chicken fajitas and fresh made on site guacamole, tortillas and chips as well as fresh made sauces with over 20 fresh ingredients to choose from. Inside is pretty open and spacious. Guests walk up, place their order and customize it as they go through the line and seat themselves, Fast-Casual at its core. Guests have a variety of toppings and options to fully customize their orders as they go through the line. We tried a Quesadilla Platter, a Taco Salad that is fully customizable and served in a house made deep fried tortilla. This was filled with Chicken Criollo. Proteins available here are Ground Beef, Chicken Criollo, Steak Fajita, Chicken Fajita or Pork Carnitas and a Mexican Grill Bowl with seasoned ground beef and Mexican rice and a Jarritos Lime soda. A Taco Trio Platter with Chicken, Carnitas and Ground Beef with black beans, chips and Mexican rice. The Grande Platter I ordered came with a taco and a burrito, so I got the burrito stuffed with carnitas, and went with the ground beef for the taco. The carnitas were very flavorful and really good for a fast casual place, but they do make it everyday in house. The Apple or Cherry Pies are deep fried tortillas with apple or cherry filling and sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon...what's not to like? Of course the Nutella Cheesecake Pie is pretty much a game changer. This is a deep fried flour tortilla with cheesecake and Nutella filling and sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon. They also serve Rellenitas XL, which is basically a quesadilla filled with nutella and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. Overall, we really enjoyed Taco Maker. The prices are very affordable, a combo is about $9.00 here, and that includes a drink.

    Another customizable Mexican food spot with all the basics: tacos, bowls, etc. but I will admit, the Nutella cream cheese dessert is amazeballs +Environment: The ambience is similar to any quick service joint, but the yellow branding/aesthetics does make the store feel brighter, making for a lighthearted dining experience. +Service: Quick service. Though nothing spectacular, there's also nothing to complain about. +Food: The portion size is satisfactory, where the bowls are filling. I did overhear other people wanting more in their tacos, but then again, all menu items are customizable so you can always order extra meat. Tastewise: the bowl I had tasted fairly fresh, but the menu item that got me smiling was the Nutella cream cheese churro. It has a warm, gooey filling with a toasted outside! Though it's very sweet, it's not sickly sweet. I find myself craving it whenever I develop a sweet tooth. +Overall: Comparable to Chipotle, but a good alternative whenever you're in the area.

They have a HUGE menu with many classic dishes and also offer table side guacamole.

I also enjoy that they offer a freshly made salsa bar as well as chips and salsa for the table. My only caution is that since this location is relatively close to UCG, it can get very crowded on the weekends, especially holiday weekends.

Service was great - food was fast! My husband and I each got specialty margaritas - we ordered "small" and were glad! They were pretty big. The mediums must be huge. Drinks were delicious and had a ton of fruit inside. My husband loved the mole chicken and the bean dip that comes with the chips was yummy. I, however, should have stuck with the beans. As a vegetarian, I decided to give some love to the soy taco option. It had some good reviews from 4-5 years back and I try to support creative veggie food when I can. I make tacos with a soy food product and they're delicious, so I was hopeful. I should have refrained. First of all, they looked pretty gross. Little pink lumps, not at all what I was expecting. I added cheese and ordered them in soft corn tortillas (they come in lettuce). It was so bland and had an unpleasant texture. But it also had this fake smell to it. I added salsa, thinking it would help. It did not. The pinto beans that came with it were also pretty bland. I barely ate one of the tacos. It's been a long time since I couldn't eat the food I ordered. They should stick to beans and rice. I also got a cheese enchilada from the à la carte menu. That was good! All in all, I might go back if I wanted a fruit salad in my margarita, but I will absolutely not order the soy tacos again!

I noticed that when a manager (I assume) saw the Fortaleza bottle he rushed over to the bartender and had a side conversation about it while looking over at us. When the bill came, I was told that we were being charged for 3 drinks rather than 2 because he gave us each 2oz pours (standard neat, but maybe he didn't know that) and was being "nice" by not charging 4 drinks. Because they were already having side conversation about it, I knew this wasn't a battle I'd win. So I paid, tipped 25% and left, but I was definitely going to leave a review. Just know going here, they will charge whatever they want for drinks and make up rules. I paid $75 for 2 drinks. I won't be back. Adding on due to the reply. The person that replied to my review was not there during my service and is lying. Neither me or the gentleman with me asked for anything other than the tequila neat, we did however have conversation about our visit to the Fortaleza Distillery in Jalisco and how they pride themselves on businesses they sell to not overcharging for their tequila. Fortaleza was NOT listed in your menu, we saw it on the shelf and asked for it neat. As a bartender NEAT is a known pour. Please don't disrespect me by making things up. As I already stated, we simply asked for clarification which is what I added in my review, paid, tipped 25% and left. A reply from the business was unnecessary, this review is for other bar goers.

When I sat down, I ordered the frozen Margarita flight, which came with a watermelon, mango, and strawberry Margarita. All of them were pretty good, but by far the mango was my favorite.

I ordered it with rice and beans, and it all left me feeling quite full. The atmosphere is also quite nice. With it being in the heart of downtown orlando, I thought it might be loud and busy in there, but it was actually quite quiet and relaxing.

When we arrived, the restaurant was practically empty, there was no hostess, and we had to wait to be acknowledged. Our server (a Hispanic woman with heavy goth-style makeup--I didn't catch her name) was polite enough, but there were several missed opportunities to improve the experience. The biggest issue was that they were out of multiple menu items we specifically came to try. We had also planned on ordering the duck-themed cocktail that was pictured online, only to be told, "We don't do that anymore." If that's the case, the menu and promotional photos should really be updated. Food: * Chicken Nachos - 3/10: Mostly burnt chips with hard, unmelted cheese. There was barely any chicken, and they lacked flavor. * Watermelon Margarita - 0/10: It was extremely sour. I sent it back and ordered a frozen margarita instead. * Frozen Margarita - Average at best. What was frustrating is that happy hour started about seven minutes later, and our server never mentioned that nearly everything we ordered would have been half-price. A heads-up would have been appreciated. * Street Corn - 6/10: The tableside presentation of cutting it off the cob was nice, but that's really what you're paying for. It could have used much more seasoning, and only two small pieces of corn were served. * Shrimp Tacos - 2/10 * Fish Tacos - 2/10: Both were soggy and lacked flavor. * Spanish Rice - 1/10: Bland and disappointing. Overall, the food was underwhelming, several advertised menu items and drinks weren't available, and the service missed opportunities to enhance the experience. For the prices, I expected much better quality, better communication about happy hour, and a menu that matched what was actually being offered. Unfortunately, I don't see myself returning.
