    The King's Memorial Combo
    Patti F.

    The ambience is OK for a chain type restaurant and the bathrooms were reasonably clean. The only thing that I would have appreciated is that the paper towels in the women's bathroom were filled and not empty so you could dry your hands. The server we had on this visit was very nice and accommodating. The steak served for the fajitas was very undercooked and it was not cut into strips (it was just a big slab) so we sent it back in. They served it correctly the second time. Overall this is a typical TexMex place that is good. What we enjoy are the various side sauces you can order, along with tortillas. This in addition to the salsa and chips is a plus, in my opinion.

    Nice interior and we just ordered one dish custom veg enchiladas with boom boom sauce. Sauce made all the difference. Service was ok, we have to ask basic things like napkins.

    They've removed the dividers between the booths and now it seems louder. Being a Saturday, it was pretty busy but we still didn't have a long wait. We love this place! Our servers are always great and the food comes out fast and its always good!

    I love me some Tex-mex and enjoyed this delicious lunch. Came here with a friend and we both enjoyed our meal. I had the appetizer sampler which had fajita quesadillas, tostadas, and flautas with queso, sour cream, and guac. I also loved the chips, salsa, and dip they put on the table when we got there. Everything was hot and fresh and service was polite and prompt. The decor inside is super fun too! I'll def be back!

    Crispy Tacos, Appetizer Plate, Fajita Beef

    It's been years since I visited this location. I couldn't remember if I liked it or not but saw a reel of someone eating their tacos with the jalapeño cream sauce. It looked so good that my family and I decided to try it again. The line to see the hostess was long because she wasn't at the check-in desk but once she arrived, the line quickly went down. Our server was nice and was attentive on refilling our chips. The food took awhile to come to the table which I was surprised about since the restaurant wasn't that busy (at least it looked empty in the main room we were in). My mom ordered the appetizer plate as her meal, my dad the beef fajitas, and I had the crispy tacos. My tacos were COLD. Like I was genuinely surprised with how cold they were. Luckily it was crispy and not stale but it's literally just a hard shell taco. When I think of crispy tacos I think of the ones from TacoBell. I was so hungry that I didn't return it but after finishing 1 of the 3 tacos, I couldn't force myself to eat anymore. My mom's plate was barely warm and the only thing that seemed to arrive hot to the table were the fajitas because you could hear the sizzle on the plate (as you should with fajitas). However, the steak was very tough and chewy. The restaurant itself was relatively clean. We didn't use the bathrooms or anything but the tables were wiped down and the leather chairs weren't ripped up or anything which is good. Overall, the food tasted so bland, was served cold, and just was not impressive enough to be worth the price. It is the definition of Mid for my fellow Gen Zs. I would not return again.

    I stopped in for late lunch on Saturday while waiting to check into my hotel near the Orlando international airport. I love Mexican food and this was conveniently located right next to all the airport hotels. I was looking for reposado tequila and was impressed to find the Grand Ma's Rockin' 'Rita comes with it plus a float of Grand Marnier, even more bonus points! The margarita was delicious and made so I was happy to order it twice. Then I also ordered the appetizer plate which comes with planchas, quesadillas, and flautas. It also came with guacamole and sour cream which were both good quality. My favorite sauces were the queso and the green sauce. The queso is so yummy and great warm. The green sauce reminds me of the traditional cilantro garlic sauce served with empanadas and it's sooo good on everything in this dish. The portions are hefty and I had enough leftover to eat another 3 times so it's well worth the price. The bartender was very friendly and even helped me put a to go order in with perfect timing to receive as soon as I was ready to leave. I ordered the roasted chicken burrito for my boyfriend and he ate it all in one sitting when I returned back to our hotel. Safe to say you can't go wrong ordering their tex mex dishes! I also forgot my to-go drink and she brought it out for me at the front entrance, thank goodness for her! The entire restaurant is decorated in vibrant colors and different framed photos along the bar wall of dogs-so cute. It feels very festive and clean, I would recommend going if you're in this area!

    Chicken Flautas

    The food tastes amazing and fresh ingredients. It's easy to order to go, plenty of parking and location close to the airport. The service is good and area for to go orders.

    Its been 3 years since I've been to a Chuy's. I discovered this chain of restaurants while I was living in Nashville. Great food and environment. So I move to Orlando and the Chuy's on I-Drive became one of my favorites, especially when family was in town visiting. Same great experience as Nashville, if not better. Then came covid and everything changed. I haven't been to one of these restaurants since 2021. So it was definitely time to go back. I was in a hurry, so I ordered to go the Elvis Presley special and an Enchiladas plate. I get home, open the containers and there was nothing but disappointment. The quality of the food and the portion size have gone downhill. I mean, maybe it was a bad day or something like that, but the food was bland, there was barely chicken or steak inside those enchiladas. And of course, the prices went up. Maybe I'll have a different experience if I go back and dine in. I don't know. But I definitely won't order delivery or takeout. On a positive note, the staff was great and accommodating while I was waiting for my food.

    Taco & Enchilada Combo

    The food was amazing! It was delicious, served piping hot, even the chips which our server made sure we always had a full basket of fresh hot chips! He was attentive, right down to making sure we had enough of the right type of sweetener for our tea. The decorations were quite colorful and unique, amazing hand painted art. Ambiance was lively but not over powering. I was impressed! We can't wait to give our home town location a shot!

    Sad brown guacamole

    Pico tasted old, the guac was brown, steak too chewy to even eat. The "fresh" tortillas tasted like the refrigerator. Queso seemed watered down. Very disappointing.

    I was super impressed with literately everything about this restaurant! It seems like a family restaurant and I was later so surprised to know that its a chain. The service is on point, the price is good, the setting is amazing, lots of seating. I came here three times in two days because it is next to our hotel! First time I got the bean and cheese burrito, it was huge and came with their fresh chips! All sauces were delicious. Second order was in the restaurant and I grabbed the quesadillas which was cooked perfectly! Third order was the chicken enchiladas which had the same refried beans as the first order. Next time, I think the fajita would be nice to try.

    Complimentary tortilla chips and sauces

    I just love Chuy's! Having lived in Texas for 4 years, it's impossible not to know about this national gem. Although this Chuy's location is nowhere on the level of the ones in Texas, it still had a pleasant charm of its own. There is so much to love about this place....the decor, the ambiance, the vibe, the colors, the classic car photos, the food, and the service. It's a recipe for greatness. We ordered a Raspberry Margarita that was really sour but tasty. We also ordered the ChuyChanga and the soft chicken tacos. Both came with Mexican rice and refried beans. As always, everything was very good. Usually, when I go to Mexican restaurants, the rice and refried beans are an afterthought, just something to fill up the plate and charge you more. Not here! The Mexican rice and refried beans can easily be the star of the show because they are really good. I almost forget to mention the complimentary crispy & fresh tortilla chips that are made on site, served with their tomatillo sauce and fresh salsa. Both are watery, but still flavorful. Did I mention that I just love this place?!

    A great spot for a Tex Mex lunch. I work close to this location and enjoyed a quick lunch here. I normally am not the biggest fan of Tex Mex but once in a while it's enjoyable. Chuys makes it easier with their large selection of Tex Mex favorites with a focus on green chiles, which are delicious. I had the tacos Al carbon and everything was great. Food came out quickly and service was quick.

    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 .

    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!

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.

    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.
