We have been here at Cowboy Taco a few times and never disappointed! The tacos, i.e., short rib, fish, chicken are delicious and very filling. We highly recommend Cowboy Taco, Enjoy! read more

When I get paid I'd love to try!! My favorite is authentic Mexican. It looks so good in the pics!

Cute small sit down Mexican restaurant. Have patience people, because the wait is worth the great food. The Tuna Ceviche is awesome with two tacos it's enough but if you want more they are more than accommodating. Y'all try this place out. read more

Made a quick stop on the way to legoland at cowboy taco and we were so happy we did! You order at the register and then the food is delivered to your table. It is a pretty small location but it's very spacious and nicely decorated. We enjoyed all our meals and savored every bite of them! Would definitely come back if we are ever in the area again. read more

Went to this place based on reviews Very disappointed Ordered queso and it was hard ! The shrimp tacos were tasty but they didn't put any sauce etc My husband loved his chicken quesadilla read more

Excellent street tacos with great flavors. Just had our first experience here and loved it. Will definitely be back.

What a gem! The food is absolutely delicious! And priced very well. Everything is fresh and made in house. Their horchata is the best we've ever had (former southern Californian here). The service was top notch and the place super clean and cozy. This will be a regular stop for us when traveling by. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience for us and our kids (who also loved the food). read more

Finally got to Cowboy Taco. Friend got chicken tacos, 2 for $5.99. She said they were very good. I got the birria tacos 2 for $8.99 and an order of chips/salsa $4.99. The tacos were stuffed full of meat and the taste was yummy. Unfortunately, I didn't care for the consume it was sweet and I ended not using it. I will definitely return the nachos looked amazing. Next time I will skip chips/salsa, the salsa was also sweetened and I didn't care for it. Small dining room, few outside seats but the decor is very fun! read more

Authentic Mexican food Nice environment Service very goos an professional If you came to highland county and want a very good Mexican food you have to visit cowboy taco read more

Loveeeee both the food & drinks at Cowboy Taco (repeat customer here!!!)! Small restaurant with limited seating is the main downfall- would love to see this restaurant expand to a larger location (with more places to sit and better decor). The traditional margarita is delicious- strong and not filled with sugar. My favorite tacos are the ground beef soft tacos on flour tortillas (always open to switching and swapping ingredients for you). The queso fundido is smooth and melted, served with crunchy salty chips. I have also really enjoyed the chicken quesadilla in the past!! The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and food comes out in a timely fashion. Can't wait to return for more tacos and chips! read more

Always great! This time I tried the chicken Milanese sandwich very good flavor combo but the chicken was hard on the ends but the middle was goo. Fries are awesome and stayed crispy on the way home read more

a teeny bit EXPENSIVEEEE, but still good. I like the quesabirria. The overall vibe is nice and I'd eat here again in the future.

LOVE Cowboy Taco!! I have eaten at their sit down restaurant in Lake Placid and order from their trailer in Sebring. The food is excellent , my fav is the chicken tacos and they're oh so yummy guacamole. The service has always been quick and friendly. We usually find ourselves at Cowboy Taco on a weekly basis read more

I got the Burria burrito today to go to share with my toddler for dinner. Underneath whatever cheese they melt on top, there was a metal staple (like you would use for paper), my son almost choked on it. It's is not a bone, it is legitimately a metal staple. I know the difference, trust me. I have a picture of it. Not happy. Really a shame, the food is pretty good, just obnoxiously small potions, no chips all though you get guacamole on the side, barely any of the birria sauce. But definitely really good tasting food up to the staple potion of the burrito. Got the quesadilla as well which was good, but definitely not a normal quesadilla size, again no chips which is really annoying when you don't feel like eating spoonfuls of guac by itself. read more

Cowboy Taco - Staple in food. NOT A BONE, legit a metal staple as if the stapled the cheese on top of the burrito. - Mexican Near Me - Lake Placid, Florida

Great tacos at a good price! There's no pictures because we got to them too fast. Our faves were the Al pastor and carnitas. The Short Rib Burger was also very flavorful and a good portion. Service was efficient. They do a lot of takeout business but the restaurant was cute and tidy. Highly recommend! read more

Always consistently good. The Short Rib Tacos are always amazing and the Chorizo were equally good. Can't go wrong. Clean, good service and fair prices read more

I tried ground beef tacos, steak tacos & shrimp tacos. All were good. The beef tacos were my favorite. They were great. The green(mild) & red(caliente) hot sauces are freshly made. Staff is super friendly. Dining room is small but clean. Prices are fair. They opened up on 1/2/24. Come check them out. read more

Amazing food!!! Tried the short rib tacos (amazing) and my husband got the birria tacos.We will be back. So much flavor and quick service!!

Why why why Greasy quesadillas and queso way to salty and thick not a good Mexican option then $$$ too much for quality crazy crazy.

Should be called Cowboy Mini Tacos. Truly the smallest tacos I've ever seen. Almost bite sized. Tasty, but very little tuna in my tuna tacos, and not much chicken in my friend's chicken tacos. Refried beans were almost a soup. Hard pass on this place. read more

Domaine, your local food critic was last at Cowboy Tacos. In disguise, of course! Ordered cowboy tacos via takeout. Service over the phone was friendly, even though I had read the menu extensively. I still wanted to make sure of customer service quality. I found that they were very pleasant, explaining their selections of tacos and how their system works. The marketing campaign had good quality. Interior quality once I arrived to the spot in Lake Placid was nice, albite a little bit small for the franchise. Seating spaces had tables for two and four with about about eight tables. All the tables but two were full. As I waited for my order inside I noticed that several people had come in for takeout orders, and there was a DoorDash delivery that was in progress as well. Two orders of fish tacos and two orders al pastor tacos were taken. Normally al Pastor tacos are a favorite for this critic with pineapple added to the order. This seems to make for a very interesting combination with the seasoned pork. However, in the end for both me and my eating companion, the fish tacos won us over and Al Pastor this time came in second. Of all the local hotspots and recommended places for tacos by the Hispanic and Latino populations of greater Sebring, cowboy tacos was rather disappointing and only claimed a three out of five stars. This was due to inconsistencies in the quantities of various ingredients, added to the tacos to harmonize the flavor of a good group of ingredients. The tortilla had the taste, consistency, and texture of pita bread, just not as thick, but certainly similar taste and texture as mentioned. As well the al pastor tacos, lacked seasoning on the meat. You could not taste the pineapple, and no lime wedges were included in the order. This made for a very boring experience with cowboy tacos. The fish tacos on the other hand were very good however, that thick tortilla shell sucks the flavor straight out of the taco. heavy amounts of fats and carbohydrates will often mask the flavor of well seasoned meat or fish... whatever the seasoning and flavor is. With the serving of two tacos per an order at five dollars and change; you're currently paying inflation (a.k.a. "the stupid tax"), and a rate of about two dollars per taco. Their marketing gimmick is to upscale the humble taco and serve something that the community has yet to have, a "gourmet taco". As marketing gimmicks go, we have gone from adjectives such as old-fashioned flavor, to down home taste. Then marketing changed and an extra dollar was tacked on for words like gourmet and now artisan. I'm afraid cowboy taco is more interested in marketing a taco in theory that is said to be sublime and an upscale version... "The artisan taco". However, understand you're paying for marketing. Quality & quantity is where it matters in food. The hard-working people of Sebring, Lake Placid, & Avon Park do not have time for the gimmick of the day. They're wanting to put their hard earned dollars into something that will, please the palette, widen the eyes, & not shrink the wallet. Not leave you walking away with a frown on your face, not to mention a partially empty stomach. Therefore, we've decided to leave cowboy tacos with three generous stars we hope the chain will continue to grow and improve in order to stay in business. It will be their responsibility to switch marketing for the quality product that the locals seek. read more

I'm giving them a top rating because it was such a great mix of conveniently off the highway, solid food, reasonable prices, friendly service (yes, a dude was actually wearing a cowboy hat), and the facility/bathroom were clean. Definitely recommend if you live in the area or just passing through. read more

Holy smokes - the food is so delicious - you need to try the birria tacos and the burgers are outstanding! I've got 2 favorites in Lake Placid now! read more

My goal is to try everything on the menu because what I've tried so far is wonderful. Finally a good Mexican restaurant in town. People are very friendly and the service is great. read more

I would definitely eat here again. Delicious flavor. Birria was a little heavy on the cinnamon or nutmeg. But I still ate them, so still good. The only reason I give four stars is because four tacos cost me $17. I got two birria and two short rib, cost me $17 and some change. That's a lot for four tacos. read more

Nice small family owned place with a great variety of menu items. Easy stop on us27 before no man's land between lake placid and Miami.

Service great and the is excellent so much flavor Been there several times and very consistent would highly recommend read more

Very good.. Excellent food.... One of my favorite places to go. Quick service. Can eat inside and there are a few tables outside

This place is very expensive. The portion sizes are way too small for the prices and the food doesnt taste authentic at all. The ambience of the restaurant was cute and cozy. I ordered the steak quesadillas and my boyfriend ordered the steak tacos. We also ordered chips and queso and a milkshake and everything was about $43. The queso tasted good but it only came with a very small amount and about 12 chips. The quesadilla was a normal size, however the tacos that were about $9 came out and were smaller than my palm. My 200lb 6'2 boyfriend was not filled up at all and for $9 you would think u could get more food. It came with two very small tacos and 6 chips. The strawberry milkshake didnt really taste like a milkshake but more like strawberry milk. If I want tacos I will go to Avon Parks La Yerbita and get double the amount for half the price. They also taste much more authentic than this joke of a restaurant. read more

The service was great! The ambiance was awesome! And the food was amazing!!! My husband had the Cowboy Burger, that came with french fries. The burger patties (you get two patties on this burger!) were juicy. He had zero complaints on the burger. It met all expectations! The french fries were seasoned really well. Surprisingly well, actually! I had the birria quesadilla. It is served with guacamole, sour cream & birria sauce. The quesadilla was so good!! The guacamole was absolutely fantastic!! We were thoroughly impressed & will be back... without question!! Oh! And they have beer! Definitely a bonus! read more
