    21 burrito

    I love Tacos and its usually my first search. Searching: I need Tacos... Nice upbeat location. Beautiful decor and stacking on tequila and vodka. Service was good. The food was probably the best spot we tried out here. The meat had alot of flavor and the salsas were good. I did enjoy my mix drink too. If you're visiting I think this place is a good spot.

    My friends and I visited Tequila Veintiuno's this evening and loved the food and service. When they brought our order of Salmon Cozumel, I thought there was no way I could eat it all but it was so good there was only some rice left on my plate. It was amazing. The salmon was moist and it was topped with some amazing shrimp. Service was also good and efficient. We look forward to returning

    Nice ambience for a strip mall restaurant. Plenty of vegetarian options. Came on a Sunday afternoon and didn't have to wait.

    Love this place! It's truly a hidden gem. The street tacos are my absolute go-to, and they never disappoint. Their chips and salsa are hands down the best I've had in the area--fresh, flavorful, and absolutely addictive. Right now, the festive holiday decorations make the atmosphere even more inviting and cozy. On top of the amazing food and ambiance, the staff are incredibly sweet and friendly, always making you feel welcome. I can't recommend this spot enough!

    Tequila Veinteuno, 2311 FL HWY 524 Cocoa, FL., 32926 1 Star According to my random name generator, I was heading up the coast to a little place on the northern part of the county, Tequila Veinteuno, in Cocoa, FL. While I always approach Mexican restaurants with some trepidation, you never know if you are getting authentic Mexican or American-influenced Tex-Mex or southwest cuisine. Once inside, I noticed the ceiling. It was rather festive, so my first thought was, "Oh, great. They are going for the stereotypical "fiesta" atmosphere of our neighbors to the South. This had me leaning toward "fake" Mexican fare. Once seated, my waiter came over and introduced himself as Gavyn. Gavyn struck me as being about as sharp as a marble, and I'll leave it at that. I did manage to get in an order for some Pastor Carne Asado street tacos and some Barbacoa el Mexicano. If you look at the pictures I snapped of my meal, it certainly looks like appetizing food. However, while many in public office are accused of peculating from the general fund, I can say unequivocally that this place is stealing from every place that serves food when it attempts to pass itself off as a restaurant. Microwaved meat. Let that sink in a moment--microwaved meat. I wonder why anyone would microwave food in a restaurant, as several alternatives exist. Microwaving makes all flesh flaccid, mushy and gross, with a layer of unappetizing slime on the meat. The flavoring was spot on and while everything was executed fine, if the meat is microwaved, it overrides everything else. Oh, and are refried beans supposed to be slightly orange-tinted? Asking for a friend... The Big Boy says, "Microwaved meat is not my style and the food here is horrid because of it. It's not on the swill level. If push came to shove, you could eat it and keep it down, but it is an abhorrent insult to Mexican food.

    Shrimp ceviche my mouth is watering just remembering it lol

    It's always so good here! Very clean and great service too! We usually get the shrimp ceviche, the corn, queso, birria tacos and I forget what else but it's all very good. My favorite Mexican place in the area for sure.

    Burrito 21
    Rhett B.

    I was in the area visiting my uncle and aunt and they both said their favorite Mexican restaurant was this one. They made an incredible recommendation. The salsa was the darkest color I've ever seen salsa before. The taste was mild but just seemed to have more depth to its flavor. It was a good in-between chunky and runny. I chose the Burrito 21 as my entree. This burrito was humongous! There were several meat choices which I like from a Mexican restaurant. I chose the carbitas. The carnitas was really seasoned well and pretty tender. I loved the burrito being chopped with queso and red burrito sauce. I don't like a lot of rice and beans in my burrito because some places they stuff as much rice and beans in a burrito and not much else. I asked the waitress to go light on the beans and they did exactly what I expected! Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! Keto lovers would love this place as well since there is a lot of choices that don't include rice, beans, tortullas, and if only you can resist chips with the salsa. This is not your run-of-the-mill Mexican and it deserves a 5.

    Been here 3 times and ordered something different each time. Everything has been tasty and plentiful (even more so if you order the Molcajete which is HUGE for one person). The interior is vibrant and inviting. Simply put, this is not the crusty old Mexican restaurant that you're used to. The staff and owners are friendly and the food is quick to the table in our experience. They make some good margaritas and the Molcajete comes in two varieties. I've only had the meat one, not the seafood one. My only comment there is that I wish the cheese had been grated on top like others I've had, not a stick of cheese like mine had. When that cheese melts on the sides of the lava bowl? Delicious! Crispy and chewy cheese is the best! The birria tacos were perfect and not overly salty like some I've had in the past. Overall, we really like this place. We have about 3 Mexican restaurants we now have to rotate through after finding this place. It's a welcome addition with some good choices and atmosphere!

    Stopped by after hearing alot about this new Mexican restaurant. I hear they have alot of special steak offerings here similar to what you would find at finer restaurants in Mexico. Like many restaurants today the stress of labor is obvious. Our server was friendly and attentive but she was overwhelmed by tables, so of course we tried to be understanding. I ordered a special, cant remember the name but it was beef, chicken, shrimp, peppers, onions topped with avocado and cheese served in a piping hot large mortar. A mango margaritas on the rocks to wash it down. To be honest, the margaritas was just ok, nothing special really. The entree came in a reasonable amount of time which was surprising for the level of visible staff. It was HOT and delicious and very reminiscent of an expertly made alternative to fajitas. It also cane with a tasty side if rice and beans. For dessert I ordered the flank. It also came out pretty quickly. To be honest, it more closely represented the dense very Carmel flavor flan I make at home. Impressive!

    Street corn - don't think about it- just get it!

    Came here mid week. Seated quickly and order taken quickly too. Chips n salsa came out quick. Only complaint was the chips were not salted and seemed stale. Not a deal breaker tho- the rest of the food was hot fresh and really good. We will return.

    I only gave this restaurant 4 stars because our server, Jonathan, was respectful, attentive, and…read moreprovided great service throughout our meal. The restaurant itself looked the part and so did the food. ..The atmosphere and presentation of the food were exactly what you'd expect from an authentic Mexican restaurant....Unfortunately, the flavor just wasn't there. We ordered the ceviche..it was lazily slapped together..let's say it's "rustic" style it had about 1oz of tomatoes and a 1/4 of red onion with 3 colossal shrimp cut into chunks in it and a half of avocado for $13. We ordered two kids' enchiladas with rice and beans, a kids' quesadilla, an order of flautas, and a horchata. While everything looked great, almost every dish lacked seasoning and depth of flavor. Ironically, the most flavorful thing we had was the salsa but it came in such a tiny bowl that it was gone after literally four chips. It was about the size of just over a ketchup cup, which wasn't nearly enough for the basket of chips. The horchata was also disappointing. It tasted more like watered-down milk than the rich, cinnamon-flavored drink i was expecting. If you're looking for authentic, bold hispanic flavors, this may leave you disappointed. However, if you're looking for a more diluted, americanized mexican restaurant, this may be exactly what you're looking for. Jonathan's excellent service is the reason this review received 4 stars instead of fewer.

    We tried La Catrina in Cocoa Beach and unfortunately it was pretty disappointing. The portion sizes…read morewere definitely massive, but the flavor was really lacking. Rahul ordered the California burrito and I ordered La Comadre, which came with 1 bean burrito, 1 enchilada, 1 veggie quesadilla, and veggies/rice on the side. The amount of food was a lot, but the execution just wasn't there. The California burrito was open on both sides, so it was basically impossible to pick up and eat like an actual burrito. My enchilada and bean burrito came out room temperature, and the shredded cheese on the enchilada was completely unmelted. The enchilada sauce was probably the biggest miss for me, it tasted really unfresh and mostly just like canned tomatoes. Service also wasn't great. They do have a nice patio area, which was one of the reasons we wanted to try it, but our server never really checked on us. We had to go inside to ask for my food to be rewarmed and then go inside again to ask for the check. Overall, the portions are huge and the patio is cute, but I wouldn't return based on the food or service.

Inside, we were immediately, warmly greeted and seated. Simple decor. The booths looked hand-carved as we have seen made in Mexico. Pleasant and artistic. Not overdone. We both got the Taco Special. $3 each. Chips & salsa arrived. The salsa was unusual. Made on site. The tomatoes and ingredients were smoked and grilled. Greenish in color, it was beyond delicious with a slight smoky flavor. Never had anything like it. Flavorful and not hot spicy. We also ordered Queso which was also delicious and just the right temperature and consistency. The soft corn tacos arrived. They seemed small although completely filled with pork, chicken, beef, cilantro, and veggies. Delicious. Great flavor. Every bite. The plates were beautiful and looked like they were handmade. Add a cold Mexican Larger in a mug and it was a perfect lunch. The service was excellent. Attentive but not intrusive. Polite. Mannered. We will be back to this local family owned restaurant for sure. I highly recommend this place. We are looking forward to trying "Happy Hour" with $3 margaritas served in beer mugs.

We have a friend…read morewho raves about this place, but hasn't made the same selections as we have, so maybe it's just about choices. I'll give you our short list of hits and misses. Mostly Hits *Magic Chicken was good - if you're a local, El Tucan served a slightly better/fresher version of this dish. Still very good and happy to know where to find it locally. *Birria Tacos were good. Less salty than some of the ones we've had on the island, but less flavorful than some too. Right down the middle. *Service makes both lists since we had 2 and they were polar opposites of one another for us on our last visit. Definite Misses *Salsa was meh. Asked for their spicy salsa next and it was also meh. Not horrible, just ok. Chips were firm and less salty than we like. *Margarita...was not a margarita. It was 90% sour mix and a maybe a splash of something. It wasn't on the menu. When asked, we got a weird non-committal response on it from the server and we pretty much got what we expected when a Mountain Dew looking drink arrived in a beer mug with a straw. Might've been a premixed margarita or one of those malt liquor ones (like the cheap Fireball ones). *Service was spotty. We'll probably go back at some point and try some friend recommendations when we do - fingers crossed. We weren't upset with anything we tried, but we weren't wowed either. Lots of local choices to consider....
