    The road to get here is quite bumpy. I thought I was lost at one point but I followed other vehicles that were going to the area. There will be many construction sites and 18-wheelers. The wait for the food was about 20 minutes, and ordering was quite smooth. I placed my order and waited in the car to pay. When they are done with your order, the chef brings it out, and you pay her. I believe that they are cashless since I did not see a cash option to pay. The food was definitely worth the wait. The only thing I would not order again would be the birria ramen. Though it was very flavorful, I thought it wasn't worth it as much as the other items I ordered. The el pastor tacos were amazing, and the el pastor fries and flauntas were great to share with my friend. The fry-to-protein ratio balanced each other. The tacos were a great size and very flavorful. The chef included plenty of limes. I will definitely be coming back when I am in the area.

    Beef tacos and onion sauce.

    My son's and I went to this amazing little Mexican restaurant last night that offers basic Mexican street food. To begin with the service was outstanding and fast. They took our order quickly and got the food out to us fast and hot. They brought out some chips and salsa. The salsa was a mild sauce but you can have different heats. We had beef tacos , chicken tacos and the pork tacos with this little onion sauce on the side, all was delicious and relaxing with a no rush atmosphere. So if you're coming to the Orlando area near universal studios it's a great place to get a reasonably priced dinner.

    Street corn with takis

    The Eloite had great topping but it lacked flavor throughout the corn. It was really watery from the corn. The corn had no season and there was not enough chipotle sauce. If it had more sauce, some seasoning it probably would have been better than it was. Just a suggestion! The tacos were pretty good though so no complaints there!

    La Eskinna is one of my favorite food trucks in Orlando! Tucked away in an industrial park, it's a hidden food treasure. They have an array of options on their menu, even have vegetarian-friendly options! Everything I have tried from their menu has been great. I recommend the 3 taco combo with esquites. This time I ordered the regular chicken taco, chicken birria taco, beef birria taco, and the esquites. My favorite was the chicken birria taco! Service was wonderful, the people running the truck were very kind! The service was quick, and the tacos were freshly made with high-quality ingredients!

    This spot is the literal definition of "if you know you know!" First of all the food was 5/5, deliciously amazing! Second of all this taco truck is legit in the middle of nowhere, but bare with me, it's legit worth the drive. It's tucked allll the way behind a semi truck parking territory/junkyard/it's giving Texas chainsaw massacre vibes. On the final stretch right before arriving to the taco truck parking lot we passed a trailer that looked like it was straight out of the Hills Have Eyes movie There's no seating or tables or anything, it's just a grab and go or grab and eat in or on your car. Which is what we did, we just put all the food on my trunk and went to town devouring everything. We ordered the Birria tacos (duhhh), Esquites, mini Flautas, and Chips + Queso. My goodness, everything was really good, fresh, and hot off the grill. The chips were mad crunchy and just right with every bite. The tacos were juicy as can be and melted in your mouth. The mini flautas hit all the spots in my tummy. Definitely enjoyed this meal and for sure recommend you check them out.

    Awesome food truck

    We really wanted to like La Eskinna because Fernanda is so nice. The street tacos are OK, but are really small and at $4 each (even when you buy 5) are very expensive. The Quesadilla was big but not that flavorful and at $14 seems we should have been at fine dining. Not a good value for OK tacos and quesadilla.

    Birria Tacos

    I have to admit I've never had birria tacos before coming here. But I've been hearing all about them so I looked for a taco place that sells them and found La Eskinna. As other people have mentioned this location is a food truck in an indiscriminate parking lot. You pass by some random junkyards on your way here. If I hadn't known in advance I definitely would've doubted I was going the right way. Nevertheless I found the place easily enough. I parked in one of the designated spots and a staff member quickly came up to take our order. The staff member was very nice. The food took some time to be prepared but it was definitely worth the wait! We ordered the birria tacos of course as well as the birria fries. Both tasted great! They have a variety of things on their menu and I would love to try their birria ramen on my next visit. If you're a taco lover La Eskinna is definitely a must try!

    Definitely thought that I was lost

    It's rare that I leave a review while I'm still eating, but omg this place was worth the 45 min drive! Heading here, you'll think that you're lost or that there is no way the best taco spot in Orlando is located in the cuts, but trust me, keep driving. Be mindful of the speed bumps, ignore every feeling inside of you telling you to turn around, and drive with your windows rolled up cause it's dusty as hell. You've arrived, but you're probably wondering "where did I arrive at?". Just back your car in, and someone will quickly come to your window to take your order if you're familiar, or walk you through their offerings. The food is inexpensive, and they have a daily happy hour (I got the Birria ramen and two tacos, chicken and Birria, for $12), and they have a variety of drinks. It's cashless, and they bring the reader right to your car. You can even order ahead and just let them know what your vehicle looks like, and someone will bring the food to you. Most folks just grab their food and go, but I witnessed some folks eating while leaning against their cars. It's delicious, authentic, super flavorful, and I'm glad that I made the trip!

    Birria Tacos x2

    Believe it or not, I've lived in Orlando for 7 years now and I have never went out of my way to order from a food truck. I primarily venture into that territory when I'm at Lake Eola for Sunday Farmers market or at another infamous Central Florida festival. This place was brought to my attention by a special person in my day-to-day. I can not describe how mouth watering this food is. I've never had Birria tacos, so why not make this the first and only place that I ever need to know about. As a fan of Cup Noodles, I could not resist ordering a Birria Ramen. The photos do not do it justice. In fact, I almost did not order it because I was quick to assume that there was not enough beef on top in proportion to the Ramen (judgement brought to you by photos). I was wrong. I will go back simply for the Ramen. This food truck is outstanding, the service is wonderful (they came to my parked car as I was looking at the menu and took my order then they brought it out the me) and the drive makes you feel like a true Orlandoian. It's a dive that is worth getting lost for.

    Service was great, food was tasty and the menu has great options. The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is because the location is a little sketchy lol it's in an area where there's lots of warehouses and semi trucks to get there and when you follow the signs, it says to stay in your car but that part I actually liked because I felt it was super convenient. You pull into a parking spot, scan the menu and someone comes to your window to take the order. I wouldn't want to come here after dark but definitely will be back to try the Birria ramen and flautas, those looked bomb. We tried the chicken tacos and the Birria tacos and both were delicious, well seasoned.

    Happy Taco Tuesday! I travel for work and my favorite thing to do when I travel is look for some authentic street tacos and birria. La Eskinna did not disappoint at all what so ever. The amount of meat you get per taco is just wowing. The customer service was great. And the food taste just amazing as it looks. I'm really big on packaging and the way they packaged my tacos and consumé was so neat. I genuinely appreciate them for that. 11/10 highly recommend!!!!!

    Tacos al pastor
    Frances T.

    I have visit a lot of mexican restaurants and food trucks, always looking for the best taco al pastor which are the number 1 street food in Mexico and is this was not the best ,it is my number 1 choice. The meat was moist and super tasty, with a great tortilla and cilantrillo, onions and spicy salsa,uff was just perfect!! The flautas was the same , tasty ,fresh ,the only thing was that they where to small ,but other than that, i recommend everything on the menu! He visitado muchos restaurantes mexicanos y camiones de comida, siempre buscando el mejor taco al pastor, que es la comida callejera número 1 en México y si esta no fue la mejor, es mi elección número 1. La carne estaba húmeda y súper sabrosa, con una gran tortilla y cilantrillo, cebollas y salsa picante, ¡uff fue simplemente perfecto! Las flautas eran iguales, sabrosas, frescas, lo único era que eran pequeñas, pero aparte de eso, ¡recomiendo todo en el menú! Una pena que no este mas cerca y que uno no tenga donde sentarse .

    A sandwich that hardly anyone knows about in this town has fast become one of my absolute favorite,…read morethe Dominican Chimichurri (not to be confused with the Argentinian sauce). Just like a drug addict who goes through withdrawal and craving attacks, I can't fight my enslavement. Every couple of weeks, the Chimi beckons me with scrumptious temptation. It causes my brain to rewire itself and think none else but acquiring this lesser known comfort food. Since Davila's Chimichurri food truck is temporarily out of commission to revamp and reopen, I trekked out to South OBT to find another Chimi food truck. I live downtown and happily drive 20-25 minutes to either East Orlando or S OBT for the Chimi. It's that worth it. There is a cluster of about 4-5 Latin fare trucks in a parking lot so I decided to check it out in hopes of finding what I came for. It's 8pm, we hop out of the car and join the herd of friends, families and night club goers for dinner service. There's this sense of excitement as we all wait for the trucks to open up. As we wait, I pace through the lot perusing each truck. Venezuelan Arepas, not interested. Colombian Pupusas, maybe next time. Then I come across a truck named Dominican Chimi. Hallelujah! Other trucks may have the Chimichurri on their menu, but they're frauds unless it's Dominican. Right as the trucks opened for business, you can see the masses start to form lines. I was anxiously the 4th person in line to order. The lady who works the window didn't speak much English, but as long as you know what you want, motion for "here" or "to go" and pay the right amount, you're golden. There are other menu items such as Mofongo, Trpleta, Carnitas and Kabobs. But disregard, it's the Chimi you want. Trust me. I waited a bit over 5 minutes to receive my hot and fresh Chimi and it was WELL WORTH the wait. Epic. All 5 senses are set into a tailspin. Shredded cabbage cooked on a flat top soaked with secret sauce, topped with roast pork, diced onion and tomato in between pressed Pan de Agua. All the ingredients work in harmonious synergy to deliver a crunchy, saucy, tangy, hearty, savory, hot and grilled experience. It's a shame hardly no one knows about the Chimi, but I sort of like it that way. I feel like I'm part of a sandwich cult.

    Super great!!!. I dont come as often, but when I do they never seem to fail which is why i…read morerecommend everyone to come out here.

    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 .
