    Habanero salsa. Perfect heat.
    Lydia C.

    Since my last review, I am happy to report that this place has just gotten even more awesome! The grocery store and the restaurant have both been expanded. The grocery and the restaurant food are excellent quality. I love their meats and the homemade corn tortillas are the best I have found in Orlando. They have delicious buche and cabeza tacos. I am disappointed that the chile relleno now has a hard, not melty cheese so I won't be ordering that again.

    Great service, great food, and great prices! What's not to like over here? This Mexican spot is bustling during lunch time and for good reason. There is a plethora of Mexican delights, I opted for the beef soup this time and it was great. Large oxtail chunks, corn, and vegetables with good seasoned broth. Tortillas are served on the side. Service was good and quick.

    Oh em gee! The food was delicious! I got tacos and horchata! They have a little shop with a bakery and an ice cream shop. Gave me good vibes

    The food is authentic and amazing, plus the prices are GREAT!! Highly recommend to anyone. Love the quesadillas, tacos and more.

    Tortilleria El Progresso is located in the same shopping plaza as the Home Depot on East Colonial Drive and Semoran Boulevard. I was excited to try here because I am a firm believer that the best Mexican food comes from these humble little hole-in-the-wall type places. I ordered quite a bit of food from their menu, over eighty dollars before a tip and ordered it to-go. I tried calling a few times and the phone call was answered and then I kept getting disconnected. I don't know if it was a divine message from a deity to try elsewhere, but I have always been rather stubborn and my persistence finally paid off and I finally got through and placed my order. Be advised that the prices either have changed and they have not changed their online menu or I was overcharged, but I was charged more than I should have. I understand that with higher prices for food have forced restaurants to increase their costs, but maybe they should change the online menu. I did not say anything, but I did want to mention it so others are not surprised. Pricing was still good. I ordered twelve tacos (four each of the chorizo, carnitas and cabeza tacos), a chicken nuggets kid's meal, a side of rice and a side of beans, a burrito norteno, a chimichanga and a torta Cubana. Again, not a bad price for all this food, but again, they should update their online menu. I tried each of the tacos and the torta Cubana. Out of what I tried, the torta was the best thing. The torta also came with french fries, but they were nothing special l. The tacos were at best mediocre. Honestly, nothing special and nothing that I would want to return for. I wanted to like this place. I wanted it to be one of those places I could share like a secret to other foodies as a must-try place when seeking Mexican food in Orlando. Unfortunately, Tortilleria El Progresso just is not that place. I even tried justifying it in my head to give this place four stars, but unfortunately, three stars is the best score I could give it in good conscience.

    tripleta plate

    I am definitely obsessed and will come back (if I have a friend who speaks Spanish). I was looking for some tools at Home Depot when I stumbled into this little store with a restaurant connected to it. And I do not regret my choice to enter. The store had a variety of Hispanic baked goods and a little café inside with dessert. The concha and other pastries I got were very cheap and also tasted delicious. They had a variety of snacks and ingredients that my friend purchased that were priced decently. We also got to look at the café which had a variety of desserts. (I did not purchase any) The only reason I would come back again with a friend is because I am not fluent in Spanish and when we decided to grab dinner there our waiter was more fluent in Spanish. I would love to learn fluently but for now I can only read Spanish fluently. The menu had a variety of items and I decided to go for the Tripleta plate which had shrimp, chicken, and beef. The portion they gave me was larger than I thought it was going to be for the price. I was not able to finish my plate but loved everything on it. I liked that the refried beans were in a little taco shell shaped bowl. Everything on the plate was very flavorful and seasoned well. The free salsa and chips that they served was perfect right before the meal.

    The food, service, decor and ambiance. Is worth a return visit! Yes... that's a 5pc Mariachi Band!!
    Amber C.

    This place was suggested by someone on IG and I must admit it's highly likely that I'll return! From the warm and friendly staff, the very Mexican decor, handmade tortillas and the super tasty food I will absolutely be back. I ordered 3 tacos platter with one Al Pastor Taco one Cesina taco and Barbacoa Taco with rice and beans on the side. All three were terribly tasty but the al pastor was my absolute favorite!! I also ordered a menudo but it never came out and I'm thankful because I was stuffed after eating three tacos!! My favorite part though was the Mariachi band! That lady can sing!!! I made me want to go home and start practicing my Spanish, I can listen to her sing all day! Thanks to Tortilleria El Progreso for such a wonderful and much needed experience.

    Love this place Every weekend they offer mariachis Great food Great value And the atmosphere is authentic Mexico all the way!

    Tacos
    Theresa K.

    For starters, what does this place NOT have??? Authenticity, check. Incredible prices, check. Made fresh to order, check. A market, a bakery, a restaurant AND a dessert place including hard pack ice cream, check! Lastly the utmost kindness, energy and comfort, unmatched! This hole in the wall is not a place trying too hard to impress you. The sights, sounds and scents alone will transform this humble restaurant to encapsulate all of your senses. The staff here are so efficient, kind and although a language barrier, kindness and hospitality have none. We walked in and were seated quickly and there was even a live mariachi serenading you as you indulged in savory goodness. The food itself was beyond authentic, not overly seasoned to make up for lack of quality and not a fusion kind of food which included all those "extras" to make up for the poor design (we all know what I'm talking about). The tacos were incredible, granted I did not personally enjoy the chicharron one because it was too soggy and fatty BUT all the other tacos were amazing. Wait until you see the interior though, this was the most incredibly immersive experience I have ever had in Orlando and it made the food and the energy all the better. I knew it was going to be an incredible experience when they brought out FRESH made tortilla chips (quite bold in sending the message "it's only the beginning"). It may not be your popular well known establishment and may be missing some elements you are used to, but like all foodie ventures, the uniqueness is what keeps bringing us back to the table for more. If you're looking for an incredible authentic experience with incredible food for a cheap price, I urge you to stop by and try this place once. You'll leave wanting more.

    Ice cream and batidos
    Sonia C.

    I discovered this place when I was door dashing. Loved the atmosphere. It smelled and the plates coming out looked delicious. So I told a few of my friends that we had to come one day and try it. I went with a friend and all excited sat and ordered our food. The place is beautiful with bright colors and staff very friendly. Their menu was huge that we couldn't decide. Now, I gave it a 3 star cause I loved the decor inside, the staff, how clean and most importantly they have a market right next door with a meat dept, even ice cream and bakery shop. The food was not as good as I would have liked it to be but loved el mercado al lado.

    Birria quesadilla
    Sarah P.

    Really tasty appetizers, entrees, and drinks! The birria quesadilla was packed with flavor and beef, with a good side of beans. Service was very welcoming I would recommend this place for authentic food and experience, great for a fun dinner!

    Love this place. All pastries are fresh, home made. Definitely will come back! Amazing staff tooread more

    Bakery 1908 is a modern bakery and café that combines traditional Asian baked goods with drinks,…read moredim sum items, and casual café seating. We walked into a clean and welcoming space with a wide display of pastries, buns, and savory options, making it feel like a place where you can stop for a quick snack, grab a drink, or sit down for a longer visit. The display cases are well organized, and the variety of items on offer immediately gives the sense that this is more than just a standard bakery. The biggest highlight is the variety of baked goods. Bakery 1908 offers a mix of sweet and savory pastries, including buns, rolls, egg tarts, and specialty creations that go beyond a typical bakery selection. The pastries we tried were fresh, and there was a good balance between traditional flavors and more modern options. Items like the taro bun, chicken curry bun, and other filled pastries stood out because they offered more flavor variety than standard bakery items. The taro bun had a smooth, lightly sweet filling that paired well with the soft bread, while the chicken curry bun offered a savory, aromatic contrast. The egg tarts were also worth ordering, with a flaky crust and a custard center that stayed smooth and well set. Beyond pastries, the menu also includes dim sum-style items, dumplings, steamed buns, and other small bites, which makes the bakery feel more like a café and casual restaurant. We ordered a few savory options and found they helped balance out the sweeter items, making it a better choice if you want something more filling. The dumplings came out hot and well made, and the steamed buns had a light, fluffy texture that held up well against the fillings. The drink menu is another strong point, with options like bubble tea, fruit teas, and coffee that pair well with the food. We tried a couple of drinks and found them well prepared, with the fruit teas offering a refreshing contrast to the richer pastries. The atmosphere is one of the reasons the bakery works well as a hangout spot. The space is clean, comfortable, and has both indoor and outdoor seating. We noticed a mix of people working, meeting friends, and taking a break, and the energy of the room stayed relaxed throughout our visit. The seating is spread out enough that it does not feel crowded, and the natural light from the windows adds to the welcoming feel. Service is also a positive part of the experience, with staff being generally friendly and helpful. They were patient with questions about the menu and offered recommendations without being pushy. The main thing to consider is that the popularity can mean a steady flow of customers, especially during busy times. Some items may also sell out depending on the time of day, so visiting earlier can give you the best selection. We noticed that the display cases were fullest in the morning, and a few items were gone by the afternoon. Bakery 1908 is a great option for anyone looking for more than just a traditional bakery. The combination of fresh pastries, dim sum, drinks, and a comfortable café environment makes it a versatile spot for breakfast, a snack, or a casual meal. It stands out because it offers both familiar favorites and more unique Asian-inspired bakery items in one place, making it a destination that rewards exploration and repeat visits.

Bright, clean, and dialed in with pastries that actually look as good as they photograph. You walk in thinking you'll make a quick, responsible choice. Two minutes later you're staring at the case like you're drafting a fantasy team. We went with the cream puff and that was the right move. Light, airy, not overly sweet, and gone in about three bites flat. No notes. Tried the crème brûlée pastry too. Points for creativity all day. It's a cool concept and well executed, just didn't hit the same level as the cream puff. Still good, just not the headliner. And the iced tea deserves a mention. Strong. Like, actually strong. Not the watered-down afterthought you get at most spots. This one shows up with purpose. Overall, easy four stars. Fun stop, great vibe, and a menu that keeps things interesting without trying too hard. Just don't kid yourself into thinking you're only ordering one thing. That plan falls apart immediately.
