Wow! Where do I even start? Tamale Co. is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants!…read moreThis location in College Park opened about a year ago, and honestly, I think it's even cuter than their very first location. It's a little bigger and has such a fun Mexican vibe. So many colors, beautiful Spanish-style scenes on the walls, and the bar has all kinds of things hanging from the ceiling that really make the place stand out. The management here is also some of the most professional and welcoming I've ever met. It's a family-owned business, and I've been able to see how much they've grown, which makes me really happy for them. And of course, you can't come here without trying the margaritas! They have some really good ones, and the food is just as good. Come hungry because you're definitely going to want to try a few things! If you're in College Park, you have to give Tamale Co. a try. The atmosphere is fun, the food is delicious, the margaritas are on point, and you're going to be well taken care of. Definitely one of my recommendations when you're in the area!

ood was phenomenal! One of the few truly authentic Mexican restaurants in Orlando…read more The El Oaxaqueño was beyond delicious--super fresh, incredibly flavorful, and the sweet plantains on top were the perfect combination. Seriously, one of the best tamales I've ever had! They also serve complimentary chips and salsa, which is always a nice touch. I absolutely loved the vibrant, genuine, and cheerful decor. It's such a beautiful, lively atmosphere. Every member of the staff was incredibly kind, with special kudos to Chris and Natalie, who remembered me from the Curry Ford location. They were so friendly and attentive, which made the experience even more special. I'm in awe of this place and can't wait to come back!

Sooooo delicious!! I was out on a date and we just picked a random taco place that was close to…read morewhere we were at at that time. I was happily pleased with what we found. The place is totally decorated inside with beautiful murals to give it an edgy Mexican restaurant vibe. You order at one of their kiosks that has pictures with each menu item listed, so it's easy to order. I wonder tho, since there are only 2 kiosks that if there are multiple indecisive or new people like us trying to order, would that mean a person could encounter a bit of a wait to order? My hot cheeses birria tacos were just fabulous! It didn't take long, maybe 10-12 min for them to bring the food out. The flavor was rich and blended together so we'll. The ingredients tasted fresh and well seasoned. I wish this place Assad right next to my house so I could come here regularly. However, I do plan to return here because the food was great!

Stopped in here for a quick dinner, everyone working there was super nice and friendly and even…read moregave recommendations. I ordered the birria ramen, it was very bland and didn't taste like anything, no flavor in the meat or broth. I should've ordered the birria grilled cheese with the tomato ramen. We also ordered chips with guacamole, the chips needed salt and the guacamole was definitely missing something. The Caribbean tacos were just ok. I probably would not be back, I feel like Mexican food is supposed to be very flavorful and everything we tried just wasn't it. The only reason why I'm giving 3 stars was for the employees, and ambiance was good.

My go to is always the Thai peanut chicken taco, they're amazing. The peanut sauce and toppings make it stand out. The Yuca fries and the sauce they come with are also super good -- I get the every time! They're open late so it also a good spot to stop after the bars. The only issue about this place is that there's no indoor seating so it can get a little hot during the day.

Every time I come here I end up trying something different and somehow it's always good. The menu…read moreis super creative without feeling gimmicky, and the mix of Asian and Latin flavors actually works really well. The tacos are packed with flavor, the portions are solid, and everything tastes fresh and made to order. The Korean beef taco and butter chicken taco were probably my favorites, but honestly even the sides and sauces stood out. The atmosphere has a cool laid back Orlando vibe and it's one of those places that feels unique compared to the usual taco spots around town. Service was quick, staff was friendly, and the prices felt fair considering how much food you get. It's also a great late-night option when most places around the area are already slowing down. Definitely one of the more underrated spots in Orlando if you want something different from traditional tacos. Perfect place to bring friends because there's enough variety on the menu for everyone to find something they like.

I obsess with places like this. This restaurant/bakery/ice cream shop/tortilleria/pinata shop is a…read moreplace to film a movie. The food is really good, and the plates are just humongous. This is for sure an "eat half/take half" kind of place. I had a chicken steak in green sauce and it was really good. Of course, chicken could have been thicker, and the tortillas could have been corn instead of wheat, but the stuff was good and simple. I also got a huge cup of "agua de jamaica" and that alone is delicious. When I first walked in, I thought I was going to buy all the breads from the display, but when I finished my food, I changed my mind. I couldn't even have dessert. There is definitively a "next time" for me here. I also tried the strawberry juice and man, it was really good. This area of Apopka is a hidden gem.

I ordered a beef burrito with black beans, rice, onions, tomatoes, and jalapenos. It was decent. I will try tacos next time.....the burrito was quite a lot of food!

So I need to stop getting excited when I see places outside of my home state that sell California…read moreburritos as 9/10 times they are a total letdown! Coming here was what one would call lack of options and this place clearly takes advantage of people in this area as $22 for a burrito and a small drink is definitely a bit high! So let's talk California Burritos and how much rice they put in mine it might have well just been a rice burrito as that was what the majority of it was which I've never had a California burrito with rice as it's not one of the core ingredients of it. So the burrito was edible at best as it had rice beans a small amount of their so called hot salsa some carne asada as well as cheese sour cream and a small amount of fry's and did I mention the rice it had enough of it that it should have been called a Cali Rice Burrito! The burrito was lacking flavor very much so as it was all bland with the most flavor was when I bit into the chunks of raw onion which I didn't mind because I like raw onions but it definitely made me crave a real Cali burrito so you know what I'm making at home sometime in the next week! So I'm not sure what's up but I really didn't enjoy the service I received here either as it felt like an off vibe the energy wasn't there and that clearly reflected in the food too! Overall I wouldn't come back here again as I've had better Mexican food elsewhere in Orlando especially California Burritos so do yourself a favor and go somewhere else there are a few other places in the area!

But make your way to the back and you'll find an excellent (and popular) little taqueria. There are a large number of prepared items available cafeteria style for lunch, but I prefer to order something made to order. My favorite is the Tortas Pastor, a generous sandwich filled with a slightly spicy marinated pork, plus fresh avocado, tomato and lettuce. The tacos are also excellent, with fresh corn tortillas and cilantro. Refrigerated cases hold a large selection of soft drinks from Mexico. You can also pick up groceries that are hard to find elsewhere. You pay for everything on your way out.

Zaza is now an over the iPad Cafe where you place your orders via a screen, but Giselle made us feel like it is still a full service place. Kudos to Giselle.

I'm never disappointed when I go to ZAZA…read more We ordered two Cubano sandwiches (one with bacon), the Gordo Noche, a half dozen pastries, two café con leches, and a couple of iced teas so we could try a little bit of everything. Let's start with the Cubano. The bread had a nice crisp on the outside while staying soft inside, and the pork, ham, Swiss cheese, and pickles all worked together really well. Adding bacon was definitely worth it if you want a little extra flavor. The Gordo Noche was another winner. It a Cubano but on a different type of bread,It was loaded with pork, perfectly pressed, and packed with flavor. If you're hungry, this is the sandwich to get. The café con leche was exactly what I was hoping for--strong, smooth, and not overly sweet. It paired perfectly with the pastries. We tried a mix of quesitos and guava-and-cheese pastries, and every one of them was fresh, flaky, buttery, and delicious. Honestly, I could have eaten another half dozen. The only small downside was that the sandwiches could have used a little more mojo, but thankfully they provide extra on the side, which brought everything together. The restaurant was clean, the ordering process was easy, and the food came out fresh and hot. The staff was friendly, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. Overall, if you're looking for authentic Cuban comfort food, great coffee, and some of the best pastries around, Zaza is definitely worth the visit. I'll definitely be back to work my way through more of the menu.
