I had of course heard of Tako Cheena's legend for years and years. I try my best to try all of the greatest restaurants around town, but Orlando just has so many good places! Anyway, my sights finally set on Cheena, and late one night, we stopped by and dug in.
We ordered six tacos, a good assortment of what they offer, an empanada, and an arepa. Quite honestly, it was so long ago, I couldn't possibly remember what tacos I ordered or what empanada I ordered.
But what I do remember is that it was all excellent. The tacos were magnificently built. First of all, they were flour tortillas. Those are my favorite for tacos. I know many of you are spitting out your beverage and calling me a phony, but hey, it is what it is. I love a good, soft, flour tortilla taco.
These flour tortillas are stuffed to the brim with stuff. Tons of meat, juicy and flavorful. Tons of Vibrant, fresh vegetables that add so much to the taco. And then perfect garnishes. Peanuts for crunch, a sprinkle of cheese for unctuousness, cilantro for that pop. Just well-designed tacos.
And then I say they're stuff, they are stuffed. There is no plausible way to eat these things without some droppage. I recommend waiting until the end and then collecting all of excess into one, combined mega-bite. So good.
The empanada and the arepa were high quality, too. Also can't remember exactly what they had in them, but I remember that they were good. So anyway, Tako Cheena was a real winner. I am ashamed that it took me so long to get here, but I know I will be back.
