    Authentic Street Tacos Classic Loco fries
    Carla L.

    I was in the area and wanted some Spanish food, I'm glad I found this spot. Very delicious and quick eats. I loved the fries. The restaurant was very clean.

    Esquite Cup

    We just ordered take out so we can't comment about the place's ambiance. Anyways after a long day roaming around the parks, we decided to order from here. Surprisingly they were still open late at night. My friend and I ordered two Esquites for ourselves and she also got a refresca. I was very surprised to see our order. Our Esquite cup was $7.20 but it was much smaller than I thought it would be. It honestly looked like a sauce cup for Birria. Our cup was okay, it wasn't bad but it wasn't great. It had all the right ingredients. It tasted very average. But the thing that got me was that this was $7.20. I was under the impression that it would be a medium-ish size, and not the container that stores three lime slices when people order tacos for take out. The quality did not correlate with the price whatsoever. For me, it's three stars for the Esquite Cup but two stars overall just because it was disappointing. My friend also said that her drink wasn't that good too. So all in all, los precios (the prices) estan locos. We actually said that the prices were loco and her drink was burro so that pretty much sums up our experience.

    Finally got to check out this spot out! Let me tell you it didn't disappoint. I ordered the Cali burrito and it's everything I thought. I'd been craving one for a while and this one was as close as I could get to the real thing. (Cali burrito in California) the sauce they put in this was great. It had a little spice to it but nothing crazy. They even put extra on the side for you for the chips. The steak was delicious, no complaints there. Also ordered a side of guac, to be honest nothing too special about this guac. It was good. To order you just use the kiosk, so that was pretty easy. There was a staff member there who would serve the food. I definitely will be coming again! It's in a great spot located by icon park, the actual restaurant is a little hidden but gps took me right there.

    Solid spot for Mexican food in Orlando! The food was great. I got the California burrito and it was loaded with flavor, big portions, and everything tasted fresh. The service was quick and friendly even though it was busy, and they made sure everything came out hot. The ambiance is casual and perfect for a late-night bite with clean tables, upbeat energy, and a chill vibe overall. Prices are fair for the portion size too. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm craving a good burrito.

    I liked it here! I'm staying at the Holiday Inn across the street and was starving, so happy to find this spot. They have 3-4 gluten free options, and I ended up getting the cheese shrimp tacos. This came with 4 tacos but 8 tortillas, which was wild to me, so I ate each taco with just one tortilla! The cheese on the outside of the tortillas was a lovely touch. The shrimp was delicious and the sauces were divine. Super messy, but very good and satisfying. The place itself is clean and trendy, but I chose to take my food to go. It was done pretty quickly and the staff was great with helping me choose an entree. Was a little bummed that it didn't come with chips (we didn't see them as an add on either but maybe we just missed it). Overall pretty good! Average portion, not enough if you're super hungry, and great flavor.

    Quesabirria and Loco Fries Rancheras

    I was looking for a late night eat in the area and decided to try El Burro Loco. I have to say, I think I've found my favorite place for late night eats. Their menu offers a twist on traditional Mexican food. It's a fairly small place, but has a decent amount of seating. You order and pickup at the counter. I went and ordered the quesabirria and the loco fries rancheras. It took about 15 mins for my food to come out. They seem to serve all their entrees in To-go containers, even though I said I was eating in. Not an issue, though. I couldn't tell which was better, the quesabirria or the fries. The quesabirria was excellent and stuffed with meat. The flavor of the birria really comes out. As for the fries, they were well seasoned and the toppings were tasty, as well as aesthetically pleasing. I would love to come back for a few of their other creations, such as the Queen's Pizza!

    Horchata topped by a good amount of cinnamon! YUM!

    I finally found a great taco place in Orlando! Ever since moving here two years ago, I've been on the search for a restaurant that serves delicious, authentic tacos and El Burro Loco is it! From meaty tacos to tasty options for vegetarians like me, El Burro Loco is sure to satisfy! Not only was the food and drink delicious, but the service was wonderful as well. I literally can't wait to go back, so I'm going back today! YUM!

    This is a busy eatery. Everything here seems to be made to order, so while the wait may be a bit longer than usual, your food will be fresh! Additionally, Angie was so accommodating when I returned 2 days later to place a dinner pick-up order to feed a boy's volleyball team. She included chips and pico de gallo and a discount you could only typically get when placing online orders. Thank you Angie!

    Place is clean. You can easily miss the place. Sign is not obvious, does not pop out and scream Tacos. Service was ok. Took them 10mins. Place was empty. Ordered the street tacos. 15$ and come in 4 pcs. Came in a double corn tortilla, with all the works- cilantro, onions, green sauce, steak and radish. The steak was tough and bland. The tortilla was what I chewed and tasted. They skimped on the actual ingredients. The street corn came in a cup. A bit expensive at 4$ for a small cup. Corn was fresh, salty and greasy. Had a slight smoke hint.

    This review really deserves a 1-2 star but since it's a local business I pity gave it a 3. Was in town on vacation and we wanted Mexican food so we found this business had decent reviews. I'm used to authentic Mexican food in LA and this place just wasn't it. Their soda fountain wasn't available to order from but we saw the female cook come out and get a fountain drink for herself to drink. The horchata we ordered was horrible. The horchata was thick and tasted like arroz con leche, not horchata. We had to water it down and it was still bad. For 4 plain chicken tacos we paid approx $17. A lengua burrito with some chips was $20. The burrito was horrible, it was just little amounts of lengua with a bunch of lettuce, no rice or beans. We also got the nachos which were just chips with a little meat and lettuce with sour cream. There wasn't even any cheese or anything else. Have never had nachos so bad in my life. Never in my life have I heard of lettuce in nachos. If you're used to authentic Mexican food this isn't the place. They fell far short and we wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. I feel sad that locals or tourist think this is good Mexican food.

    Classic Loco fries with Shredded Steak
    James H.

    Stopped by this restaurant during our recent vacation to Orlando. We stayed at Dockside Inn near Universal and this was super close to the resort. We placed an order online and went to pick it up. The restaurant was clean and had a lot of seating for folks who want to dine in. The service was great! We were greeted when we arrived and the little interactions we had from employees was friendly! We got our food pretty quickly. When we got back to our room, we started our feast. We got some classic loco fries, crunchy flautas, Birria Ramen, and chips and queso. The food here was AMAZING! By far the best thing we had in Orlando. The classic loco fries were absolutely delicious. All the sauce on them and the shredded steak was so flavorful. The chicken flautas were perfect as well. My girlfriend got the Birria Ramen and she loved it. She said the flavor was great and it was everything she'd expected it to be. The chips and queso were great as well. The chips were seasoned and the queso was authentic and enjoyable. 100% if you're in the area give this place a try. I've thought about it often after getting home from vacation, especially those loco fries. I wish we had something in Kentucky similar to this!

    Absolutely 10/10 recommendations!!! Food was absolutely amazing!!! The service was amazing as well!! The owner was very welcoming and helpful!! Will definitely make a special trip to eat here again!

    Birria ramen
    Alex R.

    Birria EVERYTHING! El Burro Loco has Birria in every form you can think of, and it's all soooo good! The restaurant itself is a bit bare bones. Not much decor or frills, but the flavor of the food makes up for it. You're not really greeted when you walk in, but you walk up to the counter and use the computer to order. I went with a friend and we split a few appetizers and each got an entree. We ordered the Birria empanada, Birria dippers, chips and queso, and Birria ramen. Every single item was so fresh and flavorful. For drinks, we ordered horchata and it was made with equal amounts of spice and cream. Overall, just an amazing culinary experience at El Burro Loco

    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.

    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.
