El Tenampa Mexican Restaurant

The only reason for the 4 star rating is due to the wait time for the food. There were so many options to choose from but since we dine at Mexican restaurants often, we already knew what to order. The birria and shrimp tacos are usually good and most of the tacos start at $2.50 each. We also came around 9 pm which was a very busy time…. But if you’re visiting the Kissimmee area, this restaurant does not disappoint when it comes to authentic Mexican cuisine. 😀

Fantastic! The red mole chicken was amazing. Very generous portion size. The guava and tamarind margaritas were muy delicioso! The service was excellent. Cannot fault for food and service. Highly recommend!

After visiting several local restaurants in Irlo Bronson HWY and leaving, arriving to El Tenampa was very refreshing. They sat us immediately, friendly caring service. The Pozole was good and the Carnitas delicious and huge amount. The Tenampa appetizer can feed several, plus is delicious. We also had the Flight of 5 Margaritas which is an amazing value. Mari took good care of us; very efficient and caring. We will be back for Menudo in the weekend. Thanks!

Ok. 1st visit! They have a large menu. I wanted enchiladas. They have 2 options. 1 - choice of red or green sauce; 2 - molé. I wanted queso on cheese enchiladas so I ordered the vegetarian plate. A small bit of queso on the enchilada was 3.99! So i opted to get the queso dip for 7.99 and take the rest home. The side of sour cream i ordered for my bean burrito was 2.99 [for 4 oz nothing smaller] . However, they covered both my enchilada and burrito with queso. So i was able to cancel the creme. I just didnt want to eat my burrito with a fork. It says it comes with vegetables. I asked what those were she said like a salad. I said great. She came back to let me know they are actually cooked vegetables. So i had to ask to stay with the little salad. My cheese enchiladas was cold inside and the cheese was not melted. Boooo! My simple meal was more expensive than the fajitas. Hubby ordered fajitas. Everything was ok with his. Taste was average. We had leftovers. Salsa was good. Says chips are limited to 2 baskets on the menu.

Always a great experience. Never a disappointment. We are from out of state. 1st time we came was 4yrs ago when we visited Florida. Returned back and came back to visit. Already came twice this week. Great service and atmosphere.

Excellent food and price! The only downside was, they took over 15 minutes to come to our table and greet us (or to take our order) after they sat us down. We were a group of 4 people.

Food does taste decent , I ordered a steak torta the steak was seasoned pretty good but when it came to the bread had no butter tasted old and the lettuce wasn’t even chopped seems likes they just tore pieces with there hands and put it in the torta. Agua Frescas are alright nothing special about it. The inside is pretty dark the tables do look nice .The employees tho… 😬 someone putting in the chips was using a large trash can to pour the chips into a chip warmer I guess .And to pat it down he used his hands with no GLOVES ! Very important detail I did see if you go with a party of 6 the gratuity its already included. Our waitress Michelle we had at the time did not come to see if we needed more drinks or napkins. But I did watch her go to another table of 3 people 5 times to see if they needed anything else.So that means since they know they already getting a tip with a party of 6 they don’t pay mind to your table as much. It was only till when we were actually leaving she said if we needed anything else 😂 oh and the men’s toilet seat is being held by once bolt.

Food was amazing. The Aguas Frescas was passable compare to other places I've had. Chilaquiles were great! not too spicy just right.
