Antojitos Authentic Mexican Food

Not bad Mexican food, but certainly not amazing. I really can't imagine it's actually authentic. The chips were a bit stale, but everything else was pretty decent. Nothing really stood out though. Service was very friendly and attentive, but the food took a veeeery long time to come out. It didn't help that we were all starving from being in the park all day. Drinks took a very long time to come out too. There was one detail that helped however. City Walk restaurants tend to be very expensive. I was surprised at how cheap my bill was in comparison. We spent $100 (before tip) and we got two adult meals, one kids meal, an appetizer, and two cocktails. Not too shabby. If you're just looking for something better than fast food when you get out of the parks but you don't want to drop a ton of cash, Antojitos is a good choice.

This was the most delicious Mexican food I've had. It was very fresh - they make the guacamole at your table. And the Margaritas are delicious. My Blood Orange was very refreshing. My husband loves his Homemade Like Margarita as well.

We were very lucky to walk up and receive a table for a party of 6 at prime dinner time while smaller parties waited an hour. The atmosphere was festive, busy and loud. Service very fast, we ordered and had our drinks within 20 minutes, in addition to 2 huge baskets of tortilla chips and salsa. The shrimp mini tacos were delicious, as was the tuna. Decent margaritas. An 18% service charge was automatically added to our bill.

Our visit was May 3rd and were sat at 9pm with Carolina B. She was a really friendly waitress but possibly had many tables that we weren’t aware of (didnt actually seem busy) we didn’t get any silverware after our food came out. I had to go looking for her. Whenever anything was brought they would turn away and leave quickly. Not once were we asked if anything else was needed. She brought the check before we finished eating. The food was delicious except for the veggie burrito. It had NOT EVEN 1 veggie in it. It was just rice and a small side of beans. Come for some of the food- beware of vegetarian options and come with patience for the bad service/attitude of the staff.

First ever visit to this restaurant & definitely enjoyed the food. The food was very good & great portion sizes. They also had live music whilst we dined & this really did add to the atmosphere & improve the overall experience! Would definitely come back but the pricing isn’t the cheapest. We shared a starter and a couples main with drinks we spent $120 which was more than other places with more food & drinks.

This restaurant serves high quality food with an amazing price and service. Look no further, this is the place you want to visit while you are here. I am local and I have reviewed all of them. It is busy at peak hours so reserve or be patience. The place has plenty of room and offers live music and free shows. Come and try it, it would be a great experience.

Overall we enjoyed our dinner here. The service was on the slower side but the place was packed. The staff were awesome and the atmosphere really nice with a live mariachi band. I do have to agree that the food is very much not authentic but the complimentary salsa that comes with the chips was very good. We did the tableside guacamole which was totally worth it. Super fresh and a pretty big portion. For the main we did the chicken fajitas for 2 which was a very big let down. The chicken was so bland and had no flavour whatsoever. Luckily we had the salsa and guacamole which saved it a bit. So next time come for drinks and guacamole but avoid the mains unless you like bland food!

When I tell you this was THE BEST Mexican restaurant I have EVERRR been to, and I consider myself a connoisseur of Mexican food, this is the one! We had a party of 4, at which time I got the tacos Al pastor and a blackberry margarita. The meat in the tacos was fall apart tender and full of flavor, everything married well together. My friend’s birria tacos were also on point, along with the table side guac and chips and salsa. I was thoroughly impressed by everything that came across my table here. Hats off to the chefs, bartenders, and servers at this location— job well done!

Best Guac ever!!! Yomarie our server was very attentive and a sweetheart, can't wait to come back!!

First off, we want to thank Ari for such a great visit. All of your suggestions were so perfect! The Esquites were as good as you said and those tacos were out of this world! I had the chimichanga. Stand alone, it was delicious. I normally prefer beef for the flavor, but the chicken was really good. Cooked just right inside the deliciously deep-fried crust, and topped with a wonderful and tangy sauce - all covered in cotija cheese. The beans and rice were well done, and the grilled jalapeños were smoky and spicy. But it couldn't compare to the tacos. The Wild Mushroom tacos are one of the best tacos we've tried. Oh man, there was so much wonderful, earthy flavor! I highly recommend these guys, they are terrific. The Esquites is a dish for street corn lovers. Corn on the cob done just right and covered in cheese and spice and herbs..it was a fantastic add-on to the meal. We had a great visit, met a terrific new friend, and enjoyed amazing foods. If you're around City Walk in Orlando, you can't go wrong choosing these wonderful people with whom to share a meal. #beblessed

If you come to Antojitos, you MUST order the table side guacamole! All I can say about the rest of the food is that it's just fine, but definitely overpriced. I've had far better, but I've also had worse. I shared the chicken fajitas for two with another member of our party, and it was more than enough food, but it doesn't come with the rice and beans so commonly paired with fajitas in most Mexican restaurants. It came fairly barebones with (unfortunately cold) chicken, a few peppers and onions, a spoonful of sour cream, salsa, shredded cheese, and a spoonful of pre-prepared guacamole (not the fresh and flavorful guacamole prepared table side) plus 3 flour tortillas per person. As the food goes at City Walk, it's about on par with the other restaurants: nothing impressive but better than theme park food. The restaurant itself is lively and vibrant with musical performances and eclectic, colorful artwork. The service, like the food, was disappointing given the prices. We had to ask multiple times for drinks and for little plates for sharing appetizers. Overall, the experience was a little lackluster. In the future, I'll probably stick to guacamole and margaritas.

My sister and I came here on a pretty busy night but we were still able to get a table. They have live music which is pretty loud so I would advise to request to sit on the second floor if it is too much. We split their Birria tacos and Jalisco taquitos. I liked the birria meat but was very sad to see it didn't come with any form of consume but instead refried beans. The rice was pretty bland and didn't really make sense to me with the tacos. The taquitos were well filled with chicken but I think they would have been better with shreds of lettuce on top to balance the heavy fried taste. Overall, the restaurant was lively and well decorated. Our waitress was very kind and checked in on us regularly but the food itself was okay. Might come again to try some other items from their menu.

This place is solid! Was happy to be sat on time for our reservation, we had great service, and the food was very good. The environment is loud due to live music, which doesn't bother me, but keep that in mind if it would bother your party. I ordered the birria tacos. The tacos had generous amount of meat, mine did come with a consume although it was a small bowl, and though it wasn't the best birria taco I've ever had, the taco was overall delicious. The meal was very reasonably priced, and overall this place was better than I expected. I'll definitely come back on future Universal visits!

We had a good meal here tonight. We especially liked the table-side guacamole. Although it was so loud in the restaurant that we don't think the person making it hear our request for more citrus. We also would have preferred the chips be warm instead of cold. Our tacos were great. They weren't a lot of food, but we didn't need it after the chips and guacamole.

Definitely enjoyed this restaurant food. I went here to have dinner with family. As soon as I walked up, I enjoyed the design of the building. It speaks for all the decor and artwork they have within the place, too. I walked straight in and saw my family. I was greeted by the server and had my order taken. I had a Tamarindo drink. It was perfectly done correctly. It was not too sweet and not to bitter. It made me do my little happy dance. I would definitely recommend it it you enjoy the natural tamarind fruit. I then tried the salsa and chips, and they were fresh, and the salsa was delish. It had nice sized Jalapeños within them, but it didn't make it too spicy. It was a great day to salsa about it. Lol The tree chicken tacos were a bit pricey, but they were delish. The portion size can be worked on with the rice and beans. Probably the a cup of both instead of 1/2 half of both. I did get some other type of meat within my tacos. I just removed it by hand and continued my meal. I would go back to try some of their food. Great time and great experience. Our server was amazing too.

The decorations and the show in this restaurant are amazing. I went on Saturday evening at 7 pm and I could see two of the performances. It was really cool, but a bit loud for a date. The service was quick even though the restaurant was full! About the food. They give free fried tortilla with salsa that was really good and they taste fresh. I ordered empanadas that were delicious, and the mole enchiladas were also really tasty, but the beans and the rice that came as a side did not have taste. Also, I got the Tamarindo drink, which was refreshing, but it gave me the impression that I was drinking a lemonade and I couldn't feel the Tamarindo flavor.

We are two people so gitvin quickly. Larger parties had to wait fir a table. We were greeted quickly and got water served right away. We ordered sweet plantains, veggies wraps and my wrap with chicken, beans and rice was delicious. Guacamole portion was a bit small but I guess they want you to buy their freshly made guacamole. Overall a great experience.

Oh this place is amazing! Located in City Walk at Universal. A great place if you are craving Mexican. We made reservations here almost 2 months ago. And I would highly recommend reservations as the place does get busy quick. When we were leaving wait times were an hour on a Wednesday so you can imagine. When we sat down we were given chips and salsa. The salsa was great but personally I would have added a tad more salt. To eat we had the following: Table side Guacamole: they do come to your table with a caddy and prepare the guacamole right in front of you. The benefit is you can customize it to your exactly liking. We put lime, tomatoes, red onion, jalapeños, garlic & cilantro. It is the creamiest and tastes really fresh. Camarón Tacos: shrimp tacos. Guys these were heaven! Each taco has 2 fried shrimp with Cole slaw, sliced avocado and crema & comes with cilantro rice and black beans. I asked for pickled red onions on the side and tasted amazing with the tacos. Inside is beautiful and they had someone play the guitar for 15-20 minutes and then played music. This place is really great and would recommend to visit!

Let's talk about a Friday Night of good times. The wait was minimal if not at all to be honest. Plenty of space for strollers that is not in the way but in a safe secured area so nothing is damaged. Now to the real reason we're all here, the food. Everyone enjoyed their food. It was hot and didn't taste like it had been sitting under a heat lamp. The table guacamole was delicious and fresh. The tequila flight was great for those looking to try something different. Our server was on top of it all and we never had to go searching for her. My only issue was the pork had some had pieces that were a bit tough. All in all.... I will be back.

Unfortunately went on a very busy night with a big party. We had the bartender as our server who wasn't well versed in the menu. Food was not that tasty. We ordered a side of rice for my infant which was $5 for a quarter cup of rice probably.

The drinks were the best I had in Universal City Walk. Make sure you ask for Nadia's best bartender her drinks are excellent .

This place is interesting whenever I visit Orlando my wife and I find our way to this spot. Live band plays which is nice and different. The staff is nice and host upfront never have had an issue being seated. Make sure to make reservations makes things easier. The drinks are solid and the food is great. Queso fundido is a great starter option. The quesadilla was great but just about everything in the menu is good and you should try. Try it out it's a good time and good food. You can go with your partner or as a family it caters to both.

Ranel the upstairs bar tender was amazing! The table side guacamole was delicious!! The nachos and blood orange margarita was on point! We are from Texas and will definitely come back.

Our server Ryan was on point, and very attentive, even with the place full we were impressed on how quickly our food came out. We had chicken fajitas probably a 7, we had tacos a pastor 7, we had the dolphin 6, and chicken tacos 8, the table side guacamole was an 8 also. There was live music that was entertaining.

The best margaritas @ universal city walk, our Bartender Nadia, was excellent. The food was good too. We had the Beef Nachos & Barria Tacos.

The ambiance is great. There was live music. The service was okay but the food left a lot to be desired.

Out of the 3 of us, three liked their food. As for me, I only ordered a caesar salad and they forgot the caesar dressing. So I sent the order back and just lost my appetite. Then the chips were very salty. Then the salsa seemed to enhance the salty flavor on the chips. So I guess when you live in a border town, the food will naturally taste different. Maybe if I was hungry and ordered tacos my comment would be different. But I didn't so I can't really gove this an honest opinion since I usually order tacos when eating at Mexican restaurants. Oh well. But the bathrooms were very clean and well kept.

This is a popular place to eat outside of Universal. The staff was very friendly. The live music was a nice touch. The chips were very plain. The carnitas were good. Some of the meat was a little chewy.

We were seated within about 10 minutes of our reservation time. Restaurant is big, spacious and cool. They had a guitarist playing on a stage who was heard to hear. We ordered the table side guacamole which our waitress said was " the best guacamole we'll ever have". It was not. It was too salty and had too much lime juice. We didn't even finish it despite the small portion. We had to ask twice for side plates for the chips & salsa. My margarita didn't come h til our main meal so I didn't finish it. The food was good though. We asked waitress for more chips which never came. Will not go back.

The live music was fun and festive. Food was good but the atmosphere was great. The table side guacamole was delicious and a good sized portion. I liked my mushroom tacos.

I was super excited to come here and try birria for the first time! I also got a blood orange margarita that was fantastic. The tacos were a little too greasy for me, so I was only able to eat about half the order. My friends shared the fajitas for two and some nachos for an appetizer. They seemed to have some trouble with the steak, it was too tough to chew. The mariachi band was so fun to listen to and watch. For some reason, my phone didn't seem to get a signal in this area of CityWalk, so I couldn't send any messages to my family back home with pictures of the food.

Service was awesome . The food wasn't so good The table guacamole was good! My burrito was chicken too salty. The steak platter was just warm via microwave. The table salsa had an aftertaste to it. Taco was not tasty - Our waitress was very nice

We sat at the bar and omg Jason was a cool and attentive bar tender. Last night we all had a great time. It was 6 of us and everyone was happy. The place was big but packed and well decorated. The food was great we had Tacos Al pastor; quesadillas and Shrimp tacos. It was so good we ordered more shrimp tacos. I'll definitely be back. Only disappointment was the hot sauce. It should be an authentic Mexican. There are so many great options; hope they look into it.

We are here in October after a very long day at Universal Studios. The food was just okay. I wouldn't call it authentic though. More of a good quality chain restaurant. The service was good and the ambiance was cute. We sat outside under the covered ceiling. I would probably return for another try.

Outstanding dining experience! After a hot and sporadically rainy day at the parks we had been looking forward to the special Passholder appreciation Crab Enchiladas for the past several days. I started with a great margarita, accompanied by chips and a nice salsa. Then, after much anticipation, we both had the Crab enchiladas. Remarkable! It was the perfect meal to end a great day at the parks. Marcia did a wonderful job taking care of us, and Lily holds her crew together wonderfully. We will be back!

Nope. We were here on 6/20/24. My son-n-law wanted Mexican food, so we went. Place was hopping! Okay cool! Seated immediately. Waited 15 minutes before being waited on. Server was great! Soooo. Chips and salsa. Tortilla chips were stale. Salsa a bit salty. Drinks were good. Wife had adult beverage. Said it was weak. Fresh guacamole made at table with jalapeño! Guess we were not paying attention. Thee amount of salt!!! Dude! Welp we did not enjoy it. Had some Esquites! Not great. Had better. Tad salty! See a theme here. Well we ordered fajitas with added shrimp. Ordered steak medium. It was medium but this was thee worst, stringy and chewy "steak" ever tasted. I did not let my wife or grandkids eat this mess. The chicken was dry and not seasoned, shrimp was rubbery. The dish was just not good. Server offered another protein, so we said let's try the chicken. Fail. Just as bad as before. Soooo I asked for an adjustment with the order because we did not eat it. They removed the first order and still charged us for the second with 18% gratuity. What! Okay. We good. I will not, eva, eva, go back. This cannot be done at a large capacity. Save yourself from this and go to someplace else. This is my experience. There are better options. The amount of salt intake I had is gonna have my ankles on swole tomorrow. Gonna have to drink plenty of H2O.

We ate here for lunch when we visited Universal Studios. We were hungry! LoL and it rained that morning, however their floors were not yucky with customers' wet shoes coming and going. Our server was really nice, she actually lowered herself down (since we're sitting). The food was actually good! I had the Enchilada Ranchero, my husband ordered their special Nacho (I forgot the name but it has a lot of toppings) and the kids had chicken quesadillas. The ambiance/lighting inside is a little dark for my liking though, especially when there's no one performing on stage anyways. I asked if we can seat outside but unfortunately at that time outside seating was closed.

My boyfriend and I ran in here to avoid the rain and ended up eating at the bar. Our bartenders were great and really on top of it! We got Cadillac margaritas and they are huge! It was super good and if you like tequila have a very good selection to choose from. We got the guisado and the birria tacos. They were both good but not the best I've ever had. The rice and beans as a little bit bland but aside from that we both enjoyed our food.

Had late night dinner at this place. Sat at the bar which offers full service. Ordered chicken fajitas for two and two margaritas. The drink is good but the food is just ok. The bartender is nice enough to offer chip and salsa but the chips taste stale and lacks of salt. The chicken fajitas for two doesn't look like large enough for two and chicken tastes dry and vegetable portion is pretty small.

We came here around park closing time. We got on the wait list and got in around 20 minutes later.. we ordered table side guacamole and Alle was friendly and helpful when she made it table side. We got a bartender as a server who was friendly and helpful for the most part.. food was good and came out quick. I took off two stars because at the end of the meal we forgot our annual pass discount (we told our server we were ap holders at the beginning of the meal and we just left the park) and ran over to the server to tell him.. before he ran the card he said "sorry it has been processed already" I know full well a manager could void the authorization and given us a discount.. very disappointing as he was lying to us.. we looked around for a manager and were unable to find one.. great meal but the way the check was handled and staff straight lying to us so he could get us out was wrong.

The service was impeccable. I had the chicken fajitas which was the managers Josh's recommended to my family! We were celebrating my son's fifth birthday, when the manager Josh, came over with a card and wished him a Happy Birthday.

For my 100th review, I wanted to review a place that I absolutely love to go to every time I visit Universal Orlando! I've gone to experience a ton of life achievements here and it really is a lively place that is upbeat with a ton of energy. Antojitos is such a fun place to eat at. There is ample seating inside, outside, near the mariachi band, and even upstairs. There is no place to sit that is bad. I am a huge fan of the live band that comes to play every so many minutes. It really amps up the experience too. The complimentary chips and salsa are a great way to start out any delicious Mexican meal. They have some of the best salsa I've had because it has the perfect amount of spice and consistency. Now for a main course, I love the burrito! It's huge and any meat choice cannot be wrong. I think the ground beef is my favorite just because it's your basic choice, and basic is best. I would suggest maybe getting the cheese that comes on top, on the side because it makes it almost too difficult to eat even though it tastes amazing. Whenever I leave this place, I am stuffed for the rest of the night and the last time I visited was no different. I cannot wait to go back to experience the entire atmosphere again!

The food, music and ambiance are all great at this restaurant. Unfortunately, the service is pathetic. After our server brought our drinks, we never saw her after that. Others brought our appetizer and entrees. Wanted to order additional drinks but our server was no where to be found. Then we saw her huddled with other servers chitchatting for quite a while. We had to flag down a manager to finally get our check. Not acceptable.

the food was amazing the chef was very accommodating to my mom who had a severe allergy to basically all things spicy. The Sioux chefs name was Eric and deserves all the praise. the other servers and rest off staff were also great be Eric stood out. Food was good for the rest of my party 10 out of 10 would highly recommended people to come eat at this wonderful establishment lets not forget the live music that's going on while you eat!!

It's ok, I ordered a beef chimichanga and got chicken instead. I was so hungry I didn't care enough to wait. You can't really go wrong with chips & salsa. But overall it was just ok. I probably wouldn't eat here again though because I didn't love it but it wasn't terrible.

This place was AMAZING. Our friend had a gluten allergy and the waitress along with the manager on duty made sure that there were no issues. I had the birria tacos, I'm from Texas and the sauce was a tad thicker than we do it down here but the flavor was top tier. My husband had the steak quesadillas and they were also very good. We've been to a couple of restaurants on the city walk and the service was top notch. If I can talk our party into going again tonight that's where we will be!!

If you enjoy Mexican food you will enjoy this but it certainly isn't anything special. Pretty much your run of the mill chain Mexican. The salsa was bland and served cold which wasn't very good. I got enchiladas verdes. The enchiladas were fine but you can most likely get better at local restaurants. The rice was terribly flavored and the beans were served lukewarm. If you're looking for a place to sit down out of the elements and get a meal you know will be decent this is perfect for you. If you are looking for good Mexican head elsewhere.

Complimentary chips and salsa were great, very tasty. We ordered the tableside guacamole which you can alter the taste to how you like more or less of any ingredient-loved it. Lastly we split the birra taco and what an absolute let down. They were three VERY tiny tacos, and mush all mush. I was shocked this plate even made it to our table.

Free chips and salsa Nice salty chips but salsa nothing special Nachos were not cheap, Portions not very large Barely put any cheese on the nachos and barely any beans too What do you expect from a tourist trap? Service was good Beautiful spacious restaurant with 2 stories, a balcony that overlooks the main area

The atmosphere was great here and the service was good. However, the food was not good and it was definitely not authentic. The rice was terrible, beans were not good, possibly the worst tortillas I've ever tasted.

Rounding up from a 3.5 star experience. We had reservations for 7:15 but it was a very busy evening in City Walk so we ended up being sat around 7:45. We ordered the tableside guacamole, beers and the combo fajitas for two. The beer was cold and the fajitas arrived at our table FAST. The tableside guac never arrived but the waiter was apologetic and removed it from our bill. They give you a large bowl of chips & salsa so we were satisfied with that! The fajitas were pretty good, I feel like they could have used a touch more seasonings but was pretty good. We were seated right next to the kitchen and the tickets coming in were so many, they didn't even fit on the counter! The chefs seemed to be well organized and were dishing out orders quickly - that was fun to watch! I personally probably wouldn't dine here again since there are so many other options around the area but if the other restaurants are booked, you won't be disappointed with the food choices here.

First time to City Walk and saw this restaurant. We were seated right away (we had a party of two). If you have a bigger group (5 or 6), they have these fun "bird cage" tables - where you sit inside a big wicker cage. Those were full, but looked fun. The Good: 1) Food - our food was delicious - we got the combo fajitas for 2. You can get corn or flour tortillas. Each person gets a plate with 3 tortillas, cheese, lettuce, guac and sour cream. They place the shared fajita tray in the middle. It didn't look like much, but we had leftovers. I wish they'd put more peppers/onions in the fajitas 2) Table side guac - go for the splurge and get the tableside guacamole. Our Guac Master was a lot of fun and the guacamole was fantastic. We had plenty to take home also. 3) Margarita - nice size and tasted great 4) Service - everyone that served us was friendly and food came out super fast The Bad: 1) Acoustics - this place is LOUD; I could barely hear my dinner companion and had to ask her to repeat things several times 2) Live music - this is a good and bad. I love that they offer live music, but because of the acoustics, it was all distorted and hard to enjoy. The din of the diners was drowning out any way to truly enjoy the music If you have to use the restrooms, don't miss the wall of "dolls" on your way there. Overall, a good dining experience. Prices weren't cheap but were on par for where we were and what we ate. If you don't like loud though, I'd go somewhere else or go when it's not so busy.

This was a decent pick for the citywalk. Huge bowl and chips and salsa, good service. The guisado was a little bit smaller than I expected but still filled us up. Fun restaurant. Not sure about the creepy tattooed baby dolls on the way to the restrooms.

Out of all the Mexican restaurants this is the best one (in my opinion). Where do I start? The environment is fun, they have live Mexican music and the decorations is beautiful. The food was delicious. We of course ordered tacos and it was a just an explosion of flavors. But the best part was when they make the guacamole in front of us with all fresh ingredients. I couldn't stop eating it! If you go you must ordered the guacamole. They make the best guacamole on earth. Also try their tequilas flights! They are strong! The customer service was outstanding. They treated us like royalty. I strongly recommend this restaurant to everyone who wants to taste real Mexican food.

Great Mexican food! I love going to Citiwalk, and although there are plenty of options as far as food goes, this one is by far the best. The ambience and service are both unmatched, but the food is just absolutely delicious! We had the fried cheese and quesadillas and they gave us so much food we could barely finish. We love to come here every time we visit Citiwalk.

Absolutely the worst food I ever experienced. All our entrees were served cold! The rice seemed to have been scraped from the bottom of the kettle. Although our food was comp'ed, they had the audacity to charge gratuity. I will never go again.

Great restaurant in the middle of Universal CityWalk! Live music, table side guacamole, and great service.

The Esquites dip was by far our favorite! It was the perfect snack after a long day at universal. The nachos had plenty of toppings and were soooo delicious. The restaurant also gave complimentary chips and salsa and water. The staff was super friendly and gave great recommendations!
