    Fish taco and mushroom tacos (not the official names)
    D P.

    Absolutely delicious! I had the fish and mushroom tacos (I don't recall the exact names), and chips with salsa. The service was lovely, ambiance was pleasant, and the food came quickly. Fish was crispy. Everything really was so good. I will definitely be back!

    Tacos are solid. Guac is fresh but you can taste the onions Chips are hot out the fryer The lab tacos with chipotle were good The restrooms are outside and around the corner The Biria taco was fine soft and tender but not the best I've ever had Kids said chicken quesadillas were fine Overall the food is fine

    The best flan ever!!

    Such a cool spot with great menu. From tacos to quesadillas and bowls, everything super tasty!! The seafood tacos are so different from everything that we had ever taste ,so fricking good!! I even had a vegetarian bowl that was off the charts with black beans that are made in-house from scratch, and marinated mushrooms, so good!! And they also have natural juices lime tamarind, horchata and floral de Jamaica. And dont forget the most delicious 3 leches and flan.. believed me the flavors are unique! Un lugar genial con un menú buenísimo. Desde tacos hasta quesadillas y tazones, ¡todo riquísimo! Los tacos de mariscos son tan diferentes a todo lo que habíamos probado, ¡deliciosos! Incluso pedí un tazón vegetariano espectacular con frijoles negros caseros y champiñones marinados, ¡delicioso! Y también tienen jugos naturales de tamarindo, limón, horchata y floral de Jamaica. Y no olviden las deliciosas 3 leches y el flan... ¡Créanme, los sabores son únicos!

    Tried Taco Lab on a friend's rec and wow totally worth it. * *Food*** Appetizer: The "Elote Fire Starter" (off the cob) with a surprise chicken taquito on top?  So good. Chips and salsa were free. salsa wasn't my fave, but I'm picky. Tacos: Not your typical tacos. Homemade tortillas with crispy cheese edges are amazing. Loved the "Tulum Experiment" (shrimp!! best I've had). "Pollo Alquimia" was good, but light on the pineapple sauce, the sauce is too good to be lost within other flavors. Drinks: Horchata & tamarindo agua fresca = super refreshing, not too sweet. Yes! Please. Prices: not the cheapest but totally fair for creative, high-quality tacos, the area and prices overall! ***Vibes:***Didn't get pics (ugh, I know!) That kind of service keeps people coming back.Small, super clean, has a sink to wash up (love that). Best for small groups 4 to 6... or grab-and-go. ***Service:*** Marco (owner) is the sweetest. Helpful, welcoming, truly great service. Would def go back. Highly recommend!

    Very fun and flavor tacos. I was impressed by how well the shrimp was cooked. Very sleek inside which was surprising for this style of restaurant. The food runner was extremely courteous and attentive. More than I would have imagined. Only need a more parking and patrons.

    My husband and I arrived within 30 minutes of closing, unsure if we would be able to order but it was no problem. I wish we had given ourselves more time to enjoy the food while they were open, but we still had an excellent experience. The service was top-notch, the manager was extremely friendly and happy to answer any questions we might have! The food was prepared fresh and let me tell you everything was freaking delicious. I can see now why this place already has so many five star reviews. They also have a happy hour on Tuesdays that I will definitely be checking out in the future! The street tacos were fantastic, as were the sides, and the queso and chips were 10/10! They also have a back patio that will be enjoyable once it cools down a bit!

    The former King Bao on Fairbanks in Winter Park has been transformed into the absolutely lovely Taco's Lab and I could not recommend it more highly! You have to have something special to open - just 3 months ago - down the road from Hunger Street Tacos, and Taco's Lab is just that. Special. The staff are very friendly and my food was fresh and wonderful. Everything - including their chips and tortillas - is homemade. I had maybe the best horchata I've ever had in my life here today. The elote was sublime! My birria taco and another with shrimp - fantastic! I could not rave any higher about Taco's Lab and I recommend it to every Yelpers...and then some. Gracias!

    Traditional Taco with chorizo and the Tulum taco with shrimp. Both were excellent.
    Candy R.

    We stopped and had Taco Lab bases on the reviews, and I'm so glad we did. The tacos and service were excellent. If you love tacos like I do stop here.

    Tacos!

    Wow. Every single one of the tacos were fantastic. This is our new taco spot. It looks like a hole in the wall but dont let the outside fool you. The food and service were excellent.

    We were really happy to stumble upon this place! Everything we ordered was delicious and I can't wait to go back. I had the veggie taco and rice - both were very good! The service was quick and everyone there was friendly! I'd definitely recommend and will be back!

It was a speakeasy-esque vibe and I loved it. We ordered an old-fashioned and espresso martini which were quickly brought to our table. They indicated that the espresso martini was the best one in town, so naturally I had to try it. I would definitely say it takes top five. We sat outside and had a great evening at this place. We will definitely be back and look forward to it.

The drinks are inventive, well-crafted, and well-presented, and the service is friendly, fast, and knowledgeable. The drink menu the night I went was divided into sections: effervescent, shaken, stirred, and "exploring technique." I had two drinks: the "Siam Silk" is a tiki-ish riff on a clarified milk punch using cognac, a rum blend, and Thai iced tea with fruit; the other drink I had was a low-ABV riff on a Sherry Cobbler. They were both great, and I appreciate that they have a creative low/no-alcohol portion of the menu. This was definitely a pleasant surprise to find up north of Orlando, although perhaps I shouldn't have been surprised at all--Maitland has another one of my favorite bars in the metro area (Permanent Vacation). I'll definitely be back.

The perfect balance of sweet and salty. I'd order this 10 times over again. For our mains we got the Fresh Grilled Fish of the day, which was a snapper with mashed sweet potato and broccolini and a pan to pour a lemon sauce over top. This was a perfect portion, the fish was grilled perfectly, and I could have eaten an entire bowl of their sweet potatoes. My husband got the Bronzed Florida Grouper, which had a risotto with shrimp in it. Both of these dishes were INCREDIBLE. To finish, we got the Sky High Citrus Meringue Pie. This kind of played on a key lime pie. It was rich, the portion was HUGE, and a great way to finish our meal. Overall, great food, great vibes, and great service.

The ambiance and feel of the bar is very "sultry" and "intimate." The mood lighting, dark paneling/interiors paired with the bar itself being lit to be the center of attention, lends itself to the secretiveness and LURE that a modernized speakeasy would provide. I truly enjoy stepping foot into this little hidden, but NOT so hidden, gem (which can be accessed from the interior to Talay). Service can be slow at times - especially when they are busy. However, the staff is usually always gracious, helpful, and willing to serve. The few great mixologists I've met there have also been very willing to break down how they make their drinks and really give us a glimpse into their world. So, I'm appreciative of that. That is not something that you can always expect at bars. As for the drinks (and food I'll glaze over), I am usually not left disappointed. I appreciate that seasonally they play with their drink menu and introduce new cocktails. I also love a handful of their signature drinks on the menu. This may be the only bar I've had a drink with Aperol in it that I actually ENJOYED (and not tolerated). The pricing can get high depending on what you order, but for the area and the going rate of a night out, they hold their own. Definitely don't pop into Noir if you are looking for an AFFORDABLE cocktail experience because the tab will creep up on you. The food is OKAY. They share a kitchen with Talay and offer some items not on the Talay menu - which is nice. However, I rarely eat when I visit, so the few times I have, it's been okay. Nothing to truly brag home about. I am happy, though, that they did start offering food because in the very beginning (when they first opened), that was not an option. Anyways, Noir Bar is GREAT (to me)! I will keep coming here and recommending it to others. It's also great for a date night or night out with your friends. It's in a decent location - but please take heed of parking in this area, as it can be challenging to find FREE street parking. However, there is parking available all around and in various garages nearby.

Real good vibes. Orlando obviously has no shortage of places to eat, drink, and gather, but Alfie's belongs to that rare category of venues that feel equally at home in a major metropolis. It's the kind of spot that would fit seamlessly into Los Angeles's best neighborhoods: think Gold Line in Highland Park or the Vinyl Room at the Hollywood Palladium. Not because they're carbon copies, but because they share that intangible quality of genuine discovery and cultural curiosity. The crowd ( age range 25 - 35 mostly ) was genuinely engaged with one another. People were actually talking, actually present, not hunched over their phones. That alone felt invigorating. There was an undeniable spark in the room. Alfie's wasn't chasing trends; it was simply allowing them to emerge naturally. What impressed me most was how they brought it all together .. Retro stereo equipment and vinyl players from the 50s mixed with a bar area that's super sleek and modern. Conversations, music, the lounge itself .... all came together in a way that felt alive and IN THE MOMENT. When my LA friends visit, Alfie's is on the list.

But he was very impatient. Let me add that there was not a single person in the entire place. NO ONE. Let me also add that almost our entire group is almost 40. So we're obv not underage. With the way he approached us and was completely impatient, we were a little turned off and left. Which lost them money on our entire group. He followed us out the door as we left. It was a weird experience especially when there was literally no one else in there. The music was good but I doubt and of us will to back based on that experience alone.
