    Macho Burrito
    Stormyscarab19

    Good burritos I've tried two the macho burrito and burrito blanco The service was quick and nice got my food 10 min after ordering

    It's hard for a Mexican restaurant to stand out in any way- most of them have similar vibes, similar food, same old same old. But Azteca D'Oro has done a great job being unique in the way they have decorated and set up their aesthetic. From the cool, medieval looking chandeliers to the paintings and the way the bar is so grand looking with cases of high-end, rare alcohol bottles. I'm a fan. On one side of the restaurant there are a lot of big tvs as well, so you could come hang out to watch a sports game and have a great time. The food was decent, it wasn't outstanding but it was good and enjoyable. I got the molcajete which literally could be shared between 3-4 people on its own. They have fun drinks too, as Mexican restaurants do- the paloma was a highlight. We did have great service- I'd give that part 5 stars to our waitress Claudia. Overall, I'd come back for sure, even just to enjoy the chips, salsa & queso.

    Our server was amazing. And the new four sample dip was great!! We had steak fajitas and the new lamb meal.

    It was a little rough getting into the parking lot, but it was worth it. Waited a little long for someone to seat me...even though I was the only person at the hosts stand. Once I was settled at my table, I didn't have to wait long. I gave the server my complete order and off she went. Very pleasant, but quiet. I didn't wait too long for my food, but oddly enough, I waited even longer for my drink. The server actually noticed I had not received my drink when she was bringing my plate to me and turned around and grabbed it. The plate was pleasing to look at, and the tacos were full. I enjoyed the chicken, it was season just right. The rice and beans were both well prepared, not overdone and full of flavor. I will reevaluate three stars when I return for another visit, today, the service was just a little off. Maybe next time it will be a better day. I truly enjoyed the food though

    Super cold Negra Medelo

    To say this place was great, is an understatement! The food was great, the beer was SUPER COLD! Also, Cristal was an awesome server!! She even had a large party she was taking care of and she still took fantastic care of us too!! I'm in Lakeland once or twice a year, this will be my new go to spot in Lakeland for sure!! If you're in the area, stop in and grab a beer or a meal, and tell Cristal I said hi! You'll be glad you did!

    Chips & Salsa

    As in Orlando this is a great place with a family oriented environment and service. A real Mexican food in a very nice decorated dining room. Hood for lunch, dinner or any kind of event. Well done, great location!

    The Famous Macho Burrito Lunch
    Brian K.

    We moved to Lakeland in late April from Virginia Beach and seeking a good Mexican restaurant. This place was super clean and had some cool decor. Now for the import part the food... i had the Macho Burrito and my wife had Chicken fajitas. We both were really pleased with our meals and the service was decent. We didn't see our waiter often but the rest of the staff picked up the slack. By a long shot this was the best Mexican food we've had since moving to the area. We'll go back. They have hand sanitizer around the restaurant. Staff is wearing masks and seating every other booth.

    Veggie burrito with chipotle sauce
    Sarah M.

    Azteca d' Oro was our Valentine's Day date spot this year, our first time going since they opened a few months ago in Lakeland. The service was wonderful. The drinks (mojitos) were bland.. no flavor! Maybe they gave us colored water... not sure really,But they did look pretty. The veggie burrito was BLAND, capital letters because how do you not have flavor from the veggies?! But the Guacamole was amazing! I probably will not go again but if I do I would try something else. The free chips and salsa didn't excite me either. ‍

    Enchiladas
    Nicholle F.

    We decided to try Azteca D'Oro because our usual Mexican restaurant had a 30 minute wait. We called this place, which was just a few minutes away, and they said they had no wait. We drove over and got seated right away. At the very top of the first page of the menu there is a photo of the chips and salsa with a note that the first serving is free but additional servings are charged for. I have eaten in many Mexican restaurants and NEVER seen a charge for refills of chips and salsa. With four of us, this small serving did not last long. I requested to have just a small sample of the soup on the menu and our waitress denied the request, which again, has never been a problem at any other restaurant I've been to. She was not very friendly and mostly curt. We ordered our meals and they arrived promptly by someone other than our waitress but we realized we had no utensils or plates and had to wait a good 5 minutes, all the while sitting right under a cold AC vent that cooled our food pretty quickly. Another server passed by, so we asked her for silverware and plates, which she happily brought for us, along with a refill of the chips at no additional charge. The food was just okay for being more expensive than our usual establishment. We decided we would not return to this restaurant.

    I hate writing bad reviews but I would be remiss if I didn't review this place. I've had better Mexican food from $4 entrees at food trucks. I had a shrimp taco and steak enchilada combo. 1- who puts shrimp taco in a hard shell? It just gets soggy. 2- totally overcooked, dry tasteless shrimp. Exactly the same for the steak enchilada. My dinner was $26 and it was awful. I really think I would have enjoyed Chipotle more! My hotel was only 1/2 mile from the restaurant. Food was cold and flavorless. That being said, I love hot salsa... but theirs was blazing and not great. Good chips though

    I discovered Mega Mercado, an amazing Mexican market and restaurant, on a trip to Lakeland, Florida…read moreand was extremely impressed with the food the restaurant was serving. Mega Mercado is located in a shopping plaza located in the shadow of the Publix corporate building. Walking in, the restaurant part is to the left. I was greeted warmly and quickly seated. They brought me salsa and chips and the salsa had a nice kick to it and was absolutely delicious. Looking over the menu, i went with three tacos, an asada taco, a chorizo taco and a cabeza (beef cheek) taco. I think it is worth noting that most of the tacos are $2.49 each, really a remarkable deal, especially at how amazing these tacos were. As I said, the tacos were amazing and deserve several mentions (once again, they were amazing). A tough choice, but if I had to pick my favorite out of the three,it would be the cabeza taco. If you are in Lakeland, this is an amazing place to try.

    Writing this review for the Tienda (store) part- I have been to the restaurant and enjoyed but the…read moretienda deserves its own spotlight here and there. If you know Lakeland you probably know about Megamercado- one of the best Mexican joints in the area that also has its own convenience/ grocery store with very non american (and awesome) choosings. Well, with the Megamercado now having a south Lakeland location, and a matching south Tienda (store) to go with it, there's double the fun! As soon as you walk in, to the left there's a huge case of fresh baked goods. It's mouthwatering and tempting every time. The store looks small from outside but actually goes back pretty far. They have ice cream that is freshly scooped, fresh meats & seafood, tons of Mexican snacks, spices, and other cooking items. They have hair products, cleaning products, and piñatas everywhere. That's probably one of my favorite parts. There's fridges on the far right side with refrescas, of course, and so many other things I haven't mentioned. It's truly an impressive mini grocery store, and worth taking a stop in, if nothing else to grab a pastry!

    We stumbled upon this little hole-in-the-wall called Taqueria El Gordo, and let me tell you... if…read moreyou're craving a truly traditional Mexican experience, this is the place. It's family-owned, simple, traditional nothing fancy, but the flavor more than makes up for it. On top of that, the family running the place couldn't be more humble and welcoming. I tried a gordita for the first time; a homemade tortilla stuffed to perfection. Everything is made fresh to order, even the tortillas. You can actually see them working their magic behind the counter, mixing the batter, molding, frying, and cooking right there in front of you. We ordered four gorditas; two carnitas and two steak: each one loaded with mozzarella cheese, sliced avocado, crema (their version of sour cream), onions, and cilantro. Oh my God, now I understand why it's called a gordita -- it's packed! For the price, you can't beat it. Two gorditas filled me up, and for about $12 total, it's a steal!!! The quality, freshness, and homemade taste easily surpass most restaurants charging twice the price. We also tried their chilaquiles -- another knockout dish. They use the same homemade tortillas, cut and fried, then topped with their house-made red or green salsa (depending on how much heat you can handle), Mexican cheese, crema, onion, and cilantro, all served over rice and beans with two perfectly fried eggs on top. The green salsa packs more spice, but the red can be blended to your liking. Every bite was pure comfort and flavor. They even make their own chicharrones from scratch and serve authentic Mexican sodas like Coca-Cola in the tall glass bottles; the ones made with real cane sugar, not the syrupy stuff we're used to here. Now, let me be clear -- if you're one of those people who expect your food within five minutes, this isn't your spot. Everything here is made fresh, from scratch, and that takes time. People who truly know and appreciate homemade cooking understand that real food doesn't happen within five minutes. So come in, relax, and let them cook. Let them pamper you with their gift of delicious food. Don't rush them, and don't get impatient, this is a humble family who takes pride in perfection. I guarantee you won't find the same level of flavor, love, and authenticity anywhere else. So far, we've tried two items from the menu, and both were absolute hits. We'll definitely be coming back! Not just because the food is amazing, but because we love supporting humble, hardworking families who pour their heart and culture into every dish they serve. Taqueria El Gordo is a must-try gem for anyone who appreciates true homemade Mexican food made with love. There isn't any other like them here in Lakeland!

    Overall great experience! The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the prices were…read moregreat. I will certainly be visiting this spot again in the future.
