    Happy hour menu
    Staneisha L.

    I just so happen to find this restaurant taking a scroll downtown. I was happy to caught the happy out and luckily there was live music sponsored by the city of Orlando. The service was great, the prices were a good price point and the margaritas were refreshing! The patio area was a great atmosphere. A great location to wind down after work.

    Birria 1983 is a Mexican restaurant right on Church St across from the 55 West. The restaurant is decorated very pretty and colorful. It is also very spacious. The staff was great, the food was tasty and I thought prices were economical to be on Church St.

    Loaded birria fries.

    Delicious food. Dishes from Mexico & Chile. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable. & attentive. I got the birria loaded fries. The portions are big. That makes me happy. I have food for tomorrow. Definitely a place to check out.

    TikTok Wrap

    I stopped here before watching a show at Dr. Phillips. We stopped in about 2 hours before show time and had plenty of time to eat, get checks, and walk to the theater. It was not very busy and our server was quick and attentive. I ordered the mushroom tacos and they were ok. I felt like they were lacking in flavor, but the sauce helped with that. My daughter ordered the tik tok quesadilla and raved about it. It's nice to have this option as a place to eat before seeing a show or a game/concert as it is walking distance to both Dr. Phillips and the Kia Center.

    Taco Salad

    Such a yummy spot for Birria! I love their taco salad because they put a ton of Birria on it! Very friendly staff. Plenty of seating both inside and outside. In a cute part of Orlando!

    This is a fun, casual restaurant that has lots of birria options- tacos, burgers, ramen- perfect for fulfilling your birria needs. It cost around $45 for 3 tacos and taco salad, and the food was very solid. We were both full after. The restaurant itself is clean, the facilities are fairly well maintained, and the staff are very attentive and friendly.

    Free chips and salsa so that's already for me (especially around downtown). The Burris taco was decently sized and was tasty. I always ask for extra lime which they generously gave. Server was good and friendly

    Empanada! HUGE and so good!
    Lisa T.

    Fun place to have dinner before the magic game. Walking distance to the game and just done the elevator from the parking structure. Birria soup was really good and the salad was super tasty! Tostones were full of flavor and well cooked! ask for the Chilean menu for other options. The empanada was huge and also tasty! Salsa was also very good and served in clay pots. Bar area was nice with live plants and cute signs around the restaurant making for a nice ambience. Service was fast since we were on our way to the game! We saw other tables with burritos and they looked huge. Definitely a good pregame Spot!

    Was a good last-minute spot we were looking for something to eat after participating in an improv show across the street. There is outdoor seating as well and the decor inside gave an upscale Mexican cantina vibe. The service was extremely slow, but the food was really good so if you're in the area, I do recommend you try it if you have time to spare.

    Passionfruit mojito
    Carolyn C.

    Ok, so this is a great place to grab a bite to eat. The only thing I'm not to crazy about is the parking situation. That usually turns me off when it comes to visiting places in downtown. You either have to pay to park or play the waiting game. But anyways that's not the point. The point here is that it's a great place with scrumptious food. You can't go wrong with this one. No wonder I've heard many great things about this place! We had to wait a few minutes to be seated. But it wasn't too long of a wait. They served us some chips and dip! Simple but delicious! I really wanted to try the birria ramen but it was way too hot outdoors that I really just preferred having something that wasn't going to keep me hot. So I ordered the birria tacos instead with the passionfruit mojito. My husband asked for the birria churrasco. It was definitely hard to decide though because man oh man everything on the menu looked amazing. And seeing all the food around us that was being served and the smells of all the foods passing our table was almost unbearable to stand. Our mouth was watering like a baby drooling and a little fussy because the hunger overload kicked in. Once our food arrived we dug in and oh boy! Was it the best and exactly what we needed and it hit the spot just right! Nice and hot! Made fresh and ready to devour! One of the best authentic Mexican food here in Orlando. Glad we were able to experience it!

    An interesting place for sure ! Their menu is extensive and the food was relatively good! I am looking forward to going back to try more of their menu. We had the Tostones Deluxe with chicken and the sizes were decent for the 14 dollars . The bartender was really nice but I don't think spoke much English and was checking himself out on his phone most the time lol. The vibe of the place was okay, I think I was looking for something not so fast casual for the price. I was hoping for something authentic Mexican but this felt a little commercialized which is okay, but it just felt like a fast food restaurant.

    Churros with chocolate sauce
    Alicia F.

    So this is a really cute little spot right next to the Kia Center. Too bad the service really is not that good. I'm solo and it's really not that busy here there's only 7 occupied tables and after several minutes no waitress came. I kindly asked Mr. Jeff Lopez take my order. He was kind enough to assist me. I made a request to expedite my order because I had to leave and he accommodated. I was a little perturbed that I had to request the chips and salsa that was freely given to other people at their tables if it had not been for Jeff, I would not have given it the stars that I did. The salsa by the way was just OK. I had a little aftertaste that I did not like, the chips that were really tasty. I love the presentation and my tostones deluxe was delicious very filling. The tostones were a little too hard though, but I enjoyed it anyway. The fusion of Caribbean fried plantain mixed with Mexican Birria was genius The churros had a cream filling that is super yummy. Well, I'm a huge fan of chocolate. I actually preferred it without it. Overwhelmed I'm glad that I came I left with my tummy feeling happy happy

    Bria ramen
    Danielle N.

    First the place was pretty dead, service was not the best. Did not really check on us at all, had to wait a while to get boxes and check.We had Bria ramen the cilantro was good but overall was lacking a lot of flavor, which is surprising since it is a Bria place, The TikTok wrap we also got Bria also it was lacking flavor,almost dry. I will say both dishes had a lot of meat and good portion size for price. The salsa and chips were very delicious, this had good flavor and seasoning. Skeptical to come again, since we had such poor service, people even came in but no one was there to greet them so they left.

    Disclaimer: this review is for the lunch buffet only…read more I went with my family to try the $18.49 all you can eat lunch buffet. This was my first time experiencing a buffet for hispanic food and for this price point in Orlando, this is an amazing value deal. The server regularly brought us out silverware, napkins, and refilled our water. The place is decorated very fun and plays latin music which was lovely Not only was there an unlimited assortment of lunch foods, but an entire bar of fresh toppings for tacos (or rice bowls) and made to order desserts which were included for free! Not everything on the buffet line was the best but given the amount of options, price, and how good the great items are this is still worth a five star rating. I unfortunately did not take pictures of the food before I began devouring everything in sight to the point of near-collapse, but I will do a quick rundown of the buffet highlights: The best meats were the fajita steak, chicken, and shrimp made fresh in cast iron skillets, as well as the chicken lengua which was super flavorful and tender. The mexican rice, beans, fajitas, plantains, and street corn were also excellent. Fresh quesadillas, chips, and corn tortillas on standby with homemade queso and salsas. The flan and mini churros were the best I've ever had. Super rich, decadent Carmel flan. Mini churros hot and crisp on the outside, filled with a gooey soft milk chocolate center. They were delicious. Items that were disappointing: the tamales, mini chicken flautas, and beef chimichangas were just okay, lacking the seasoning and flavor that other dishes had. The beef barbacoa was not as tender or flavorful as the shredded chicken surprisingly. The mixed seafood was itself a mixed bag with some shrimps / scallops overcooked to much while others were perfectly cooked. The chicken mole and beef tri tip were room temperature despite sitting on hot plates. The tri tip also varied widely in doneness throughout the slices and not super tender. The rice pudding was pretty standard, and the tres leches cake was weird as they crumbled the cake into pieces before soaking it.

    Food was terrible ! Carnitas has pork taint . Not only that my taco was dripping this putrid fat !…read moreI nearly threw up after one bite , but was on a date so kept it on the down low . ASADA- almost as bad . Dry no juice at all chunks is grizzle . Prime rib tacos ... are you JOKING ? Some cheap cut of beef not cut on the bias and stringy . Sangria ? Go ahead , drink five pitchers and you'll be fine to drive( other than puking ) no alcohol at all in the sangria . Only ok things were the guac and refried beans ... that's it .

    Solita has become my pre-Dr Phillips show ritual! I love coming here for food and a drink or two…read morebefore a show. However, I would recommend leaving some extra time because my experience has varied in terms of speed of service. Make sure you know what you want to order if you're going to a show and be ready. The guacamole appetizer is very good but we didn't realize it had pineapple on top and one of the members of our party is allergic. The carne, corn, and spinach quesadilla is to die for! The combination sounds a little strange but trust me on this one...it is absolutely incredible and is now my go to every time I go! We both loved the blueberry citrus martini - it is so refreshing and packed a punch!

    I love when Cinco De Mayo comes each year - tacos and tequila are two of my favorite things!…read moreHowever, one thing I do not love is long wait times for seating. This year I told my honey the only way I would go out was if we found a place that excepted reservations. In return, I accepted that it was most likely not going to be an extraordinary, authentic, or a gem of a place. My first experience at Solita turned out to be what I manifested. Upon entering the restaurant, vibes were in full effect. No mariachi band as I would have hoped, but the but the energy in the room was happy and festive. They had a DJ providing music, but it was so loud that when our waitress read us their specials, I literally told her I could not hear her. She did greet us with salsas, chips, and these little wheels I read a lot about. They had a similar texture to a chicharron and were simply delightful! Probably my favorite component I sampled all night. Since I had never been to Solita, I checked out Yelp to do my research. One thing I was excited to try was their "Duckie Frozé". It had Rosé, fruit purée, frozen margarita with your choice of flavor: watermelon, pomegranate, or guava. Adorning the top of the drink was a darling little rubber duckie. There are TONS of pictures of this drink on Yelp. Much to my surprise, my drink arrived with NO DUCK. When I asked the waitress about it, she shrugged it off said they "don't do that anymore". It may sound like a small thing to be disappointed about, but really that was just the start. Luckily, Cinco was on Tuesday this year, so we were able to order from the "Taco & Tequila Tuesday" discounted menu. We started off with the Grilled Corn Elote which is served tableside. I thought this would be cool, but it wasn't. It was a bit painful watching the waitress struggle to shave the corn off. I almost wanted to offer help! After all that, the corn was just ok. I personally think the Elote I make at home is better. Thankfully this was on the Tuesday Menu also making it only $5. While perusing their selections prior to going, I felt that their taco prices were a bit steep. They have two types of taco sizes. The Street Tacos looked itty bitty with next to nothing on them. They do have a lot of flavor choices (11), and you get 3-4 tacos for about $20. Glad I saw photos of these on Yelp beforehand. Then they have Tacos Locos. They are described as "One large taco" when in fact they are just regular sized tacos overflowing in toppings. Just ONE Tacos Locos costs about $15! I think the pricing is loco, and based off what we'd tried so far, I was certain to only order from the Tuesday menu. We were able to get a Shrimp Chicharron for $6 and a Vampiro (Chicken or Carnitas) for $8. The shrimp one was appetizing. I even remember thinking after the first few bites that I should have just gotten two of those. Then I tried a piece of chicken from my Vampiro. It was a piece of straight fat that I immediately spit out. That pretty much killed it for me, and I didn't even eat anymore of the Vampiro or anything else for that matter. The positives of the evening included: -Getting into a spot to celebrate on Cinco De Mayo -The food came out quicker than expected based on the reviews -Trying a new restaurant and learning that it's nowhere I will be returning to or recommending. Knowledge is power.

We love the table salsa and could not find them in the restaurant to ask for more until our food was delivered. But after that, we never saw them again.

    San Jose's is a wonderful Mexican restaurant located in a strip mall just north of Lake Buena Vista…read morein the southern part of Orlando. I believe they have several locations in the area, and this is a newer one with very welcoming and modern interiors. They have wonderful daily specials and various happy hour periods that extend from 2 to 10 PM, including $3 tacos from 8 until 10 PM. Meals start off with complimentary chips and salsa (4.5/5), which are happily refilled upon request. We tried a variety of tacos (5/5) which were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The vegetarian San Jose's fajita bowl (4.5/5) was tasty and served in a generous portion that is ideal for sharing. The cheese quesadilla (5/5) hit all the fresh flavor notes without the cheese being too sharp in taste. The churros (5/5) were the perfect dessert, having a slightly crunchy exterior and softer core as you bit into it. We loved the food and atmosphere so much that we visited twice the same week while visiting the Orlando area. Service (4.5/5) was excellent on our first visit, and slightly slower on our 2nd visit, but still incredibly friendly with management checking in on customers to make people were enjoying their meals. Overall, I'd rate the food and experience a 4.5/5, but happy to round up since San Jose's is right up my alley for an ideal Mexican meal that is delicious and doesn't gouge you with prices like other restaurants tend to do. I'll gladly return on future trips to the Orlando area and will be recommending them to others, as San Jose's would crack my rotation of a Mexican restaurants I'd regularly visit if I lived locally.
