    Tacos de carnitas, carne asada, y adobada

    As someone who moved from TX and is specific with what they want as far as Mexican food, this is the only spot i have been to in Orlando that delivers the authentic mexican food experience and taste that i look for. The tacos and torta i had were perfection, favorite meat was the adobada!

    lengua taco & menudo
    Ken L.

    I've drove by this place many times and finally decided to go there one day when I was craving tacos. I'm glad to see they had lengua tacos so I ordered a couple of those along with menudo. My gf got birria tacos and then got a carne asada taco. You place your order at the counter and when your buzzer goes off you get your food and then add your own toppings and sauces from the bar. That's the end of the service provided. I was also hoping to get a homemade agua Fresca by they only have bottle Jarritos. Don't be fooled by the pictures as these were probably the tiniest tacos I've ever had (this includes all around the US, Cali, TX, Mexico etc). Legit 2 biter. The flavor of the tacos were decent and I do like their green and red sauce better than many of the surrounding other places. The fried jalapeno and onions is a plus. The menudo was slightly on the bland side. I was disappointed that there wasn't any hominy in it. Not worth the price. Out of what I ordered the birria tacos were probably the best in terms of flavor and value. 3 in an order. Overall the place is pretty average. For the price and what I got, I would rather go to a local sit down full service Mexican restaurant.

    Still my favorite place to pick up some tacos! Sooo good.. just posted a picture of the updated March 2026 menu

    birria tacos

    Walk into this little spot for some authentic Mexican food. It's always bustling during lunch time due to lunch specials. You can dine in or pick up but I prefer to pick up since they're always quite busy. Dependent on the staff at the cash register, there can be good service. Prices are cheap which I love and you can get the most bang for your buck. What's lacking is the presentation of the plates, seems to me like they are rushed and don't put much love into the food. I ordered the birria tacos and the meat and the consomé were delicious, only thing that wasn't up to par is the fact that the tortilla was a little burnt which takes away from the birria tacos. If I could give this restaurant a 3.5 I would. For the price of the tacos, I would come again.

    I love their sauces the orange is my favorite and the green is also good, the red is bitter but it's okay.

    Salsas

    Great tacos at a good deal! They have legit yummy salsas and toppings for the meals. If you are really hungry, I would recommend to order the quesadillas or more than 3 tacos because they are pretty small. If you haven't been before, please try going before sunset. The area is not the best after sun down.

    Delicioso todos la variedad de tacos tostadas menudo muy autentico y sabroso siento que estoy en México cuando voy

    Quesabirria Tacos
    Mel T.

    This place is the real deal. For ages I've been craving tacos that were half as good as the ones I ate for every meal in Santa Ana for a week straight, and by god does this place hit the mark. The quesabirria is godlike. I would take a bath in that consommé if I could. I also got two of the asada tacos, which were great. Their topping bar is fantastic, they got the onions & cilantro, radishes, salsa verde, the works. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and the food came out very quickly. If you want some legit tacos, this place is what you've been looking for.

    3 birria Tacos with cheese

    Wanted to eat at a spanish place since i was in the area and this place had good reviews. I've heard so much about birria tacos and this was my first time trying it and i was blown away to say the least. They have a small bar to add more ingredients to your meal and it is so good. Very fast for the food to come out and great prices. New favorite place for suree

    In my opinion this is the best taco place in Orlando Great tacos and great service.. Came here on a Sunday and it was packed.. You might have to wait for a table but it's worth the wait.. The tacos are small like palm size big.. So you can order a bunch and try more flavored.. They carry Mexican Coke and other traditional Mexican beverages.. The hottest salsa is the one closest to the wall so be careful and don't underestimate the hot salsa.. Great spot.. Great prices and very authentic.. Definitely most try place of you love tacos as much as I do

    Mexican Coke, fresh jalapeño, & several tacos.

I also enjoy that they offer a freshly made salsa bar as well as chips and salsa for the table.

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.
