The portions are generous, and everything is packed with flavor. I've only dined inside once, but the atmosphere definitely stands out. The walls are covered with colorful blacklight artwork, and the music adds to the fun, energetic vibe. It's a great spot whether you're stopping in for a quick bite or hanging out with friends. If you're looking for flavorful food, large portions, and a unique atmosphere, Talking Tacos is worth checking out. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu.

You can ask them to put the jalapenos on the side if you prefer. It comes with two salsas in to go deli mini cups, fresh lime and pickled vegs. The horchata is so delicious, memories from my childhood! They also have lunch specials. I started going to this spot a couple of years ago. The only down side is that it is so popular, at times you may have to wait for your food, but it is worth the wait!! Having grown up in California and used to authentic and amazing Mexican food, I can vouch for this restaurant! You also have to be careful driving in and out of this spot because it's on an incline.

I normally go for the chicken Double D's tacos, and they're consistently so good, definitely my go-to order. The staff are always friendly and keep things moving, even when it's busy, which I really appreciate. It's also one of the only places open late that still delivers on quality, which makes it even more of a go-to. It's one of those spots where you know what you're getting, and it's always on point. If you're looking for a reliable taco spot in Orlando with great flavors and a fun vibe, this is it.

I'm a regular fan of the Gringos Locos on Michigan Ave, but this Downtown location on Washington…read moreStreet was a complete letdown. There is a serious lack of consistency between these two spots. First, the cleanliness was a major issue. The restaurant felt grimy and poorly maintained--honestly, if it were not for the fact that I had not eaten all day, I would have walked right out. Unfortunately, things only got worse once I sat down. Since it was Happy Hour, they offered free chips and salsa. I thought I'd lucked out, but the chips were incredibly stale and tasted like they had been sitting out for ages. I ordered some fish (taco/burrito) option, and it was served as a total soggy mess. It clearly hadn't been drained at all, making it nearly impossible to eat. I used about 8 or 9 napkins to try and capture some of the liquide but it was useless. The thought of returning that mess crossed my mind for sure but the cashier had a bit of an attitude an basedo on how upset I was, it would not have ended well for anyone so here I am. I've never had these quality issues at the other location, where the food is always fresh and properly prepared. Spending $22.77 on a meal this poorly executed was frustrating; I honestly would have been better off with a Happy Meal at Mc Donalds. I'm posting photos of the food so you can see the "soggy mess" for yourself. I really hope management looks into the standards here, as it's a far cry from the quality I expected from the brand.

Tacos El Michoano is a small food stand located in the OBT Flea Market. What drew me in was the…read morespit of pork and pineapple sitting proudly upon a table. I knew that I had to try that. I walked up and placed my order and at the direction of the friendly man manning the grill (actually a Blackstone griddle), I headed over to a table that had onion, cilantro, red chile sauce and green chile sauce. I loaded up my taco and grabbed a seat. This taco was spectacular. I would say that it stands apart from so many tacos that I have tried that have fallen short. This taco is a king among tacos, a wondrous culinary find. If you are looking for a great taco el pastor, look no farther. This was also only two dollars. The only downside is that this flea market is only open on weekends. I would definitely recommend this place. Do not be put off that it is in a sketchy flea market and looks a bit sketchy itself. I have always maintained that the best tacos come from the most humble of surroundings. This taco is proof positive that this belief that I hold is true.

I bought 3 chicken tacos (about 12 dollars), then sat in an empty table to wait. It was ready for me in under 10 minutes. The tacos were small, but they had a good amount of chicken, cheese, onions, tomato, and cilantro. A choice of sauce was included, and I took the hot red sauce. The sauce was small, but still ample enough to pour over the three tacos. The flavors were pretty good (thanks to the heat from the sauce) and it was filling enough for me, though the flour tortillas was a bit too hard for me. The service was pretty good, though I ordered from the kiosk and I picked up my order after they called my name. However, they did check up on me, as well a provided water to cops, and removed empty items from the tables. The staff were quite friendly. The dining area was small and a bit boring. There were 2TVs showing ads for their products, and 1 displaying a horse race. The restaurant was quite cramped, and I was thankful to find a table. It's located in downtown, so parking will be either in a meter or a garage. This restaurant serves pretty good tacos at a reasonable price, but the atmosphere was a bit bland for a taqueria. It was also small and can get crowded and full easily. Best to have this to go or delivered. It's still a nice restaurant for tacos in downtown.

The food tasted incredibly fresh and authentic, and you can tell a lot of care goes into everything they make. The tamales were easily some of the best I've had in Orlando -- soft, flavorful, packed with filling, and topped perfectly without being overwhelming. We also tried a few tacos, chips and queso, and churros, and honestly everything came out great. Portions were generous and the flavors really stood out compared to a lot of other Mexican spots around town. The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts too. It has a fun, colorful vibe that feels casual and welcoming without trying too hard, and the staff was genuinely friendly from the moment we walked in. Even while busy, the service moved quickly and everyone seemed happy to help with recommendations. You can tell why this place has built such a loyal following in Orlando over the years. It feels like one of those local spots people keep coming back to because the food is consistently good and the experience is always solid. Definitely a place I'll be revisiting often whenever I'm craving good Mexican street food

For some reason, I pictured it somewhere else but nope.. it's been here right under our noses. I guess that should tell you something about me. I either need to venture out more or I need to pay more attention to my surroundings. Well, either way... glad I finally found it. Let's start with the restaurant first. Love love love the decor inside and the merchandise hanging along the walls for purchase. Especially the wrestling masks. You know the one that Jack Black wore in the movie Nacho Libre? Yeah that one! There were so many to choose from. I almost bought one myself .. not for wrestling .. but for something else. Hehe!!! Are you judging me already? Just see for yourself , you'll know what I'm talking about. Okay.. so now for the food. Food was delicious! The breakfast burrito was packed with lots of flavor and came with a side of potatoes. Also delectable!! Well.. that's what husband ordered and I had to stop myself from eating it all that I almost forgot about my meal. The tamale sunrise came with black refried beans and a sunny side up egg. Portions were just the right size and satisfied every bite.
