This is THE spot for tacos in Volusia county! Fresh corn tortillas are perfect. When trying new tacos I always go with carne asada tacos on corn tortillas with cilantro and onion. They were great. But my husband had a hard shell supreme style steak taco and I am so serious - I came back for lunch today! I couldn't stop thinking about those tacos! The salsa was really good too. I ended up getting extra to have over the weekend. The service is quick and everything is made fresh. I forgot to mention the churro I had. It was hot and perfect, it did not make it home! There was a steady flow of customers at the window both times and the server was patient and friendly with everyone. I haven't been inside yet but it seemed like there was really low lighting in the dining room. This spot in DeLand is well worth the visit! read more

El Taco Amigo - Tacos Near Me - DeLand, Florida

This is one of my favorite go-to restaurants in the DeLand area. It's a hole-in-the wall restaurant connected to T's Auto Repair and they have been in business for nearly 20 years. You could easily drive right by El Taco Amigo's and not even know they are there. It's not the cleanest place around, they could definitely use a remodel; regardless, they can make a serious taco. The restaurant is quite small, but there are some tables inside if you do decide to dine-in and there is one picnic table outside if you prefer to go that route. Most customers take their order Togo. Pricing is very reasonable and probably some of the cheapest Mexican you will find in DeLand. Nancy and I stopped in during DeLandaApalooZa for a quick bite to eat before going home for the evening. I ordered three fully loaded AL Pastor tacos (marinated pork), and Nancy got two crunchy Carne Molida (ground beef) tacos, also loaded. All this came to less than $20, not bad. We arrived about 20 minutes before closing, so I was a bit worried our meal would be lacking because of this; however, it did not, and everything came out freshly cooked and delicious. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. The chef had to make a last-minute change to Nancy's order because she wanted crunchy shells versus soft shells which increased our total to a $1 more, which was no big deal. Something to note that crunchy tacos cost slightly more than soft tacos. All-in-all, this is a great spot to grab a quick meal at a very affordable price. Most of the time I would rather eat at a restaurant like this where you can take your meal on the fly and without breaking the bank. We will be back! read more

I really like their tacos. They are really authentic and the service is very good. It's just walk in talk into the window, but that's OK. It had some little tables that you could sit . I was not impressed with their refried beans, but I would definitely go back to order their tacos and I am going to. KC Lee Deland, Florida. read more

Love the food here. You know it'll be good when you find a small, inconspicuous restaurant in town because that's where you get the most authentic food. Reasonably priced and quick turn around. You can order outside to go or inside to sit down. Our meal came out to $20 and we got 2 drinks, a torta, taco and sope. All the food was delicious. The parking is a little tricky at times however it's located in downtown deland so there's parking nearby. read more

This place is the definition of quick service tacos! Came here on a Friday night around 7pm and was able to score seats for a party of four. We order corn tacos of steak, chicken, pork and a side of an enchilada. As we waited for our food, the beers were served immediately. We observed a lot of food traffic coming through the doors which made this place even more promising. Once we got the food, we got to munching. It's everything you crave in a traditional taco -- meat, onion, cilantro and their hot sauce (red and green) are both heavenly. Right amount of heat (the best way to eat tacos)! The only reason I didn't give it a five stars is because the establishment looks a bit run down. It does, however, give it a little more authenticity like it gives off the Abuela's living room vibe. The prices are a little bit sky rocketed for what you get too. However, every small business needs that in order to keep their food delicious and up and running. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu! read more

Let me preface this review by saying that I have driven by this place at least 50 times before I stopped in today. I was a bit deterred by the fact that it's connected to a body shop; Do not let the exterior fool you, it's 100% legit!!! We ordered a melon agua fresca, chimichanga, sopé and a combination dinner which included enchilada, taco and tamale. Everything was AMAZING! I don't want to eat anywhere else, as it would pale in comparison. After one visit I can absolutely say that I will be a lifetime patron of this wonderful establishment. read more

Best Mexican food I've found in Florida so far! Taco Amigo is the kind of unassuming little shop with lots of authentic items on the menu where you know you're going to eat something good. You order at a little outdoor window, which made us feel safe during covid. We were super annoying deciding what we wanted but the staffer working register was super patient and helpful. She even graciously got them to sub french fries for meat in our burritos so we wouldn't be charged the same as meat eaters without having filling. While the sopes and enchiladas were tempting, I was starved and went with El Burrito (a wet burrito). Delicious and filling. Beans are my litmus test for good Mexican food and theirs were refried very well. I was famished and couldn't even finish the generously sized portion. Enjoyed my meal, felt satisfied, and felt covid safe. Thanks, Taco Amigo! read more

Don't be deceived as you drive by the local car repair place and then see the small sign for the Mexican restaurant! My life-long partner and I did research to stop on our way while here for bike week! We had the guacamole and chips, chimichanga, and Carnitas! Lunch special came with rice and beans. By Far the BEST ever!!! There is a small area inside to sit and one picnic table outside. You can also get it to go. read more

Hole in the wall filled the hole in my heart. So authentic and scrumptious. We love this place. Food is flavorful and comes out hot. Cooked to order most items. Cold toppings are usually placed on top of hot stuff- so ask for it on the side. Must try. And yes it's connected to a car repair shop. read more

This is the kind of place many would pass by without a second glance, but these are the kind of places that I have found hold within its battered exterior some truly food within. It is, shall we be kind and call a humble restaurant. However, the food is definitely solid and worth a stop. Mexican food has never been, at least for me, about fine dining. Mexican food has been best served in a simple environment. I am not saying that the food is not a culinary wonder, but the best food has always come from hardworking people who had to become creative and make what the rich cast aside a food fit for royalty, for kings and queens and their royal courts. Mexican food was created by those hardworking people. The culinary history of Mexico was created through hardscrabble times and proud and wonderful people. This restaurant is a perfect example of how incredible Mexican food can be. I definitely recommend here. read more

Que Rico! Legit. Mexican. Food. Not your TexMex place here. Located alongside a mechanic shop just like in Mexico. Mechanic by day and taco joint by night. That's how it's done. No worry about a fancy joint cuz it's all about the food. We tried the Steak Fajitas, Chile Relleno, and a Steak Taco. ALL GOOD. Salsas are the bomb too. No holding back for sissies. Flavor and spice and it's all real nice. Horchata is tasty. Sweet and iced for a nice compliment to have with the food. If you like REAL MEXICAN FOOD then this is the place. Family is from Guerreo, Mexico. If I'm ever in the area again I will be back for more. read more

El Taco Amigo - Torta de carne al pastor. - Tacos Near Me - DeLand, Florida

I was looking for a place with authentic chili rellenos for awhile and decided to give this place a try. Not much to see from the outside but don't let that be deceiving. Ordered two at the window and then went inside to sit and eat. Clean inside and had nice music playing. The chilis were cooked fresh and were delicious! The green sauce that came in the bottle too on the side was a great addition to it. I'm glad I found this place and am sure I'll be back soon. read more

Not entirely sure where to begin... it was extremely hot inside the sitting area. They have a very old dirty/dusty A/C unit blowing. I'm not sure how I felt about the thought of whatever particles may be flying off of it. When ordering the chicharrones I was expecting crispy pork fat. It was not crispy it was just pork fat. The carnitas I had was the only enjoyable part. My friend ordered horchata which wasn't too impressive either. Needless to say we where a tad disappointed. Next visit I will order from their take out window and it will be carnitas to go. The girl at the window was very polite. I don't typically write reviews like this... so it saddens me to say this about a local business. read more

My favorite restaurant in all of Downtown DeLand. Reasonable prices and delicious food

Ive felt melancholy the past few days, as everyone else i was feeling lazy in this kind of weather. ( cold and rainy ) After getting off work all I wanted to do was go home and crawl into bed ( it's 4:30 pm ) I decide I'm going to call this place because I pass it everyday on the way home from work. Looking at the menu I see something called Torta ( kinda like a sandwich ) and let me tell you that thang was absolutely incredible. I woke up from my nap around 10:30 extremely dehydrated just thinking about how much I wish I could go back in time just to have another bite ( the restaurant was closed at the time ) until tomorrow- read more

Woooooooow!! $5 for 3 tacos and a coke. The tortillas were soft corn and so fresh, the meat was tender and tasty. Simple and good. Can't be beat. Will definitely be coming back here, probably at least once a day because I loved it so much. Stop by if you want a quick delicious meal. read more
