As two former Californians constantly chasing that SoCal Mexican food fix, my husband and I were…read moreexcited to try Tacos Norteño for takeout--and it absolutely delivered. From the outside, the restaurant is pretty unassuming, but if you've spent time eating at authentic Mexican spots, you know that's usually a good sign. Inside, it's small and quaint and honestly feels like you've stepped into someone's home kitchen in the best way. We ordered plain bean and cheese burritos to-go (a true test for any Mexican spot) along with a small order of chips. While waiting about 10 minutes for our food, we loaded up at the salsa bar. We tried four salsas: roasted tomato, enchilada, habanero, and tomatillo, and every single one tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. Serious salsa bar goals. If I had to rank them, the roasted tomato and tomatillo were my favorites, but honestly you can't go wrong with any of them. Then came the burritos. One bite immediately took us right back to the LA food trucks we grew up with--simple, comforting, and exactly what a good bean and cheese burrito should be. Finally, a bean and cheese burrito that tastes like California. I wish I had taken photos, but honestly... I was too excited and dug right in. Safe to say we'll be back soon. This has officially become our new go-to spot for Mexican takeout. Pro tip: Don't skip the salsa bar--grab a few different ones and experiment.

Thoroughly enjoyed this authentic Mexican restaurant!…read more Came here on a Sunday during lunch hour, was quite busy but was able to pump out orders consistently for the steady flow of customers coming through the doors. Food: - Mexico City tacos: including 2 steak, 2 al pastor and 1 carnita. A great taco sampler. Was a big fan of the amazing, fresh, hearty and well seasoned meat. 5 tacos, if you can't decide this is a great sampler! - beef nachos: LOADED! Ground beef topping, was ample, refried beans, cheese sauce, and topped with fresh tomatoes, it was super flavourful and yummy. Filling to say the least, recommend to share for 2-3 as a side or even a main! - Fish tacos: grilled tilapia, decided to opt with no rice and beans. Fresh, flavourful and simple. generous portions of fish. Service - friendly, fast and was able to provide us ample time to decide what to eat. Didn't feel rushed, rather inviting. ** there is a fresh self serve salsa station that includes sour cream, guacamole, salsas, hot sauces, onions, cilantro, pico de gallo, and so many other goodies!! Loved how it was self Serve so you can customize your own items the way you want. I like how you can pack away the toppings in to-go containers as well if you're taking food out. **complimentary nachos if you're dining in, a plus! Ambiance - family style, home-y, and very authentic. There are tables for groups if you'd like, tables for smaller groups as well. A decent seating area in the back. Overall, would recommend this spot for authentic Mexican food and would definitely satisfy any cravings! It is definitely authentic and packed with flavour. I'm sure you'll be leaving full!

Came here to celebrate my daughter's first birthday yesterday. Unfortunately, both my toddler and…read moreone year old were not in the best mood. The server was extremely friendly and accommodating. He made sure to get the chips and salsa out quickly to help my hangry children. We were only able to order cheese enchiladas. But they were really good. The red sauce wasn't the typical tangy and spicy enchilada sauce, it was a bit sweeter (possibly a mole type sauce). Definitely plan to come again when the kiddos are in a better mood and try more of the menu!

This was our first time trying Tacos & Tequilas. After reading so many positive reviews, I really…read morewanted to love this restaurant. There are plenty of Mexican restaurants in the area where we can choose to spend our hard-earned money and, just as importantly, our time, so unfortunately this first experience was disappointing. When we walked in, it was hot and humid and smelled like Fabuloso cleaner. I asked the host about happy hour and all she could tell us was that it ended at 6. We were seated, and several minutes passed before our server greeted us. We ordered drinks and asked for a water as well. We were ready to order our food, but first I asked her to confirm whether burritos were $12 that day, since their Instagram has advertised $12 burritos on Wednesdays as a daily special since June. She seemed unsure and said she would check. About 10 minutes later, she returned with our drinks and asked if we were ready to order, but never gave us an answer about the special. I had to ask again, and she then confirmed that the burritos were $12. We ordered our burritos along with a side of maduros. My husband had just gotten off the golf course and was very thirsty, but his water still hadn't arrived. Our server wasn't coming back around, so when the host walked by, he politely asked if she could please get our server. Unfortunately, she seemed to forget and went back to the host stand. A few minutes later, our food arrived, but we still had no water, silverware, or napkins. We waited a couple more minutes until we finally saw our server and had to ask for silverware and napkins so we could actually eat our food. She brought those over along with the water. We were already halfway through our meal when we saw her walking by again and had to remind her about the maduros. She said, "Oh yeah," checked on them, and finally brought them out. The food itself was okay, but the service was extremely inconsistent and inattentive. We shouldn't have to repeatedly track down our server for water, silverware, napkins, an answer about an advertised special, and a side dish we ordered. I really wanted to enjoy this place based on the reviews, but for a first visit, it unfortunately didn't leave us feeling like we would choose to come back, especially with so many other Mexican restaurants in the area competing for our business.

They always start you off with fresh chips and salsa (and you can upgrade to a variety of different salsas for a small extra cost). The drinks are consistently well-made and never disappoint. Our go-to appetizers are the street corn, queso fundido, and the guacamole, everything tastes super authentic and full of flavor. We usually order our absolute favorite: the Monterey tacos (a must-try that you can only find at Agave Azul). It's basically a steak taco wrapped in a cheese tortilla, served with rice on the side,so good!!! This time, we switched it up and tried the steak fajitas, shrimp tacos, and taco salad, and every dish was delicious. And we can't forget the margaritas! high quality, perfectly balanced, and they definitely hit just right. We'll 100% keep coming back. This is our go-to spot for Mexican food in the area!

Since moving to the area this has become a regular spot for us. We're here on a bi-weekly if not…read moreweekly basis. Easy to get a table upstairs or down food is good. No issues with my sensitive stomach which some time has difficulties with texmex. The rooftop has great sunset views and is good for groups if you can find a spot. We tend to order the same things. I get a cocktail off the menu and tacos. My hushes a beer and a burrito. His burrito came out incorrectly two visits in a row so he has switched to tacos and has not had that issue since. Be aware. My only consistent complaint now is that I really with you could order your drinks at the same time and at the same touchpoint as ordering food. Having to wait in a line to order food and then wait again at the bar to get a bartenders attention to then wait again for a drink is a hassle and a bit annoying. The bartenders are also quite slow here we have noticed (both upstairs and down). We have waited for drinks longer than food on more than one occasion. So this leaves me alone holding our table while my husband waits for drinks to be made and often food gets delivered while that happening and starts to cool. Annoying right? But otherwise food is good. Drinks are interesting. Great rooftop. It's a decent and easy spot to grab a quick easy dinner I just wish they fix that issue.

I tried calling the Ocoee location over and over but no one ever answered. My husband is in the hospital in Ocoee and I wanted to surprise him. So I called the old location for the correct number. She said "keep trying, they must be busy". It was 5:10 pm. So I did, and repeatedly got no answer. My time is very limited with him and visiting hours, so I wanted to order the food ahead and pick it up so I could get to him quickly. When I got there at 5:30, there was only two customers and the girl at the front desk said "try to call me" and the phone ring. She said "see it's working". After she took my order, I could hear the phone ringing over and over and all she was doing was messing around in the back with the other waitstaff. Yes, the phone works when you answer it! Terrible customer service on both accounts. I'm soarly disappointed.

Torchy Taco's is a fast casual quick service restaurant located in Winter Garden, across from the…read moreWinter Garden Village. They are a Tex Mex style chain which started in Texas. They are delicious tacos and I have been a few times. I finally was able to take my husband for lunch and he loved it as well. Inside they have many tables as well as a bar. If you are looking for a alcoholic drink of any sort, you will need to order from the bar separately from your food. If you come here, one thing that must be ordered is their queso. Their queso is green Chile queso topped with guacamole, cotija cheese, cilantro and diablo sauce, served with tortilla chips. You can jazz it up and add chorizo but the regular version is just fine. This is probably one of the best queso's I have had. It is truly delicious. You do get more queso then chips, and I am not sure if they would bring you more chips. I also noticed this last time, they had a trio which was half orders of the green chile queso, guacamole, and your choice of salsa. This will need to go on my list. For food, they have a wide variety including tacos, fajitas, burritos, salads, bowls, and even breakfast tacos. I always get the same thing, really because their menu is so large it gets overwhelming for me. However, there are quite a few tacos I would like to try. I looked at their website and it is much easier to read, to be honest. But I go for the Trailer Park which is fried chicken, green chiles, lettuce, pico de gallo, mixed cheese with poblano sauce on a flour tortilla. It is absolutely delicious and very tasty. I prefer to get no pico as I do not like onions. I also love and it's probably my favorite, the Fried Avocado which is fried avocados, refried pinto beans, pico de gallo, lettuce, mixed cheese with poblano sauce on a corn tortilla. You can swap to a flour tortilla if you want. My husband ordered the The Bonfire Bowl with jerk chicken, it had cilantro lime rice, black beans, spinach, diced mango, pickled onions & jalapeños, pistachios, and avocado sauce. He loved it!!! It was a huge bowl as well so very filling. The only thing I was missing when I go, is taco sauces. Some of the tacos do come with a sauce, but I would love a variety of different sauces to try. You can substitute different sauces on the menu, but I am not sure of what they actually have. They also offer happy hour Monday through Friday at the bar and then weekend drink specials. I know we will be coming back here to try their happy hour and have more of their food. This is definitely a place you need to visit!
