This place is way too proud of their food and beverage. I have been at way better Mexican restaurants outside this area that are much better quality. The drinks are priced higher than Disney hotels. $17 for a 6 oz margarita and $14 for a mug of beer is beyond ridiculous. Restaurant was clean and service is decent. Food was just average. The sign says best tacos in Orlando. That's unfortunate if true.

Service is hands down the best service ever! Celebrated my birthday here with family and friends and had the most amazing time. The drinks are super delicious and you won't be disappointed with any margarita you choose. We decided to get a flight of margaritas and it was well worth the money. They come out and sing to you and bring dessert for your birthday, it was amazing. The food is soooo delicious, actually this is our second visit and this is going to be my favorite Mexican restaurant every time I visit Florida.

Great experience. Food was AMAZING and the guac is to die for! All ingredients are very clean and not greasy. You can get full without feeling bad. Atmosphere is cute and super fun.

Food was great!! My husband loved the steak fajitas. The steak was cooked just right. Queso and chips were my favorite. Adult children had Mexican bowls and said they were good. Service was excellent. We were seated promptly. Ordered drinks shortly after. Got our drinks and ordered food. Food came out really fast. The atmosphere was very welcoming and my 5 year old enjoyed taking pictures with the peppers. He stopped on the way in and on the way out. Side Note: So that it comes as no surprise and you don't end up paying gratuity twice! We had a party of 6 and were automatically charged the 18% gratuity on both checks. We always tip 22% or more. We are from out of town and automatic gratuity is not common in our area.

We went here for my birthday dinner. I tried 2 tacos that I've never had before - a beef brisket one & a fish taco. They were both delicious. My husband had oral surgery the day before, so he didn't use as much melt-my-mouth salsa as usual, but he said it was hot & flavorful - the perfect combination. Our son also tried something new and really enjoyed his dinner as well. The FLAN was the best we've ever had, and we've eaten flan in Spain & Central America (& across the USA). ♡♡♡♡♡

Tried this place on my trip to Orlando. We started off with chips and salsa along with Mango Smoothie. Both the salsa and the Mango Smoothie were good. For food I had two vegetarian mushroom tacos along with a side of rice and refried beans. My husband ordered 3 tacos consisting of 1 Chicken, 1 Steak and 1 Pork. The food was decent. The server was polite. The ambiance was great. There is a lot of parking spots as it’s located inside a plaza. I will recommend this place! Can give a try for sure!

Authentic Mexican Food? No. Great atmosphere? Absolutely. You can’t go wrong with a $15 all you can eat buffet. Considering you can eat a taco with 5 different types of meat says it all. Be careful if you have dietary restrictions, the salsa is prepared with milk. Not a lot of vegetarian options (could eat chips, fruit, rice, or beans). Your check will automatically come with gratuity added, as a heads up. I tried the Mexican rice, it was gross. Not true Mexican rice at all. The white rice was much better, but could’ve used some garlic or black pepper for seasoning. The chicken was a little dry, but the marinated flavor was great. Tortillas tasted fresh and homemade. The tortilla chips tasted homemade and were not too salty. The fruit variety at the dessert table was very much appreciated. The watermelon was juicy and delicious. I was very disappointed that there was no guacamole available. The buffet changes based on which day you attend, so be mindful of that. Would I eat here again? Probably. Should you eat here because it’s Authentic Mexican food? No.

Excellent place for Mexican food. Location is close to many resorts and hotels which is a plus. Taste, ambience, service everything is top notch here. Manager came and talked personally to ask about the experience and whether we liked the food or not. Definitely a must visit place, quantity is good for two people and quality is at the highest. Highly recommended!! Happy eating and exploring!
