The 4 of us liked everything (the others ordered their own items), but we wanted a bit more punch of garlic and spices. The food came up pretty fast as the owner and company worked very hard to get the food out fast. It was a small place, but lots of natural light. We liked seeing the deli case full of beautiful items. They also had a small section for grocery items and a couch to hang out while the orders were being made. It was a solid 4 star restaurant and the owner was very courteous, fast and polite.

LaPreferida is a Mexican market with a food truck outside…read more The ordering process is that you go into the Mexican market and order, they give you a receipt and your number is called at the truck. Pricing is okay, three dollars a taco. If you order less than five they automatically add fifty cents for sauce. I went with three tacos so my total after tax and the salsa surcharge was just over ten dollars. I also thought it was a bit strange that they use paper plates and wrap them in plastic wrap instead of your more traditional takeout container. The tacos themselves were good. Overall, a decent for tacos.

They speak English but I would offer the best endorsement for here is all the trades folks eating. Ordered up a chicken, pork and steak taco. The steak was my favorite. Chicken was flavorful and the pork was tasty too. Classic street tacos with cilantro and onions. They were unfortunately having power outage from Hurricane Helene but were putting out good food still. PROTIP - they do have a picnic table but best to order "to go" no inside seating.

I had enchilada Aztecs and the flavor was great. Really enjoyed the food, although I got my extra napkins from the bar. Cute place inside and Jess loved the plates. Service left a lot to be desired.

Absolutely best Mexican place in Brevard!…read more My dining partner does not normally like mexican food ordinarily, but we went twice in two days It's that good. Interior was clean and tastefully decorated. All staff super friendly and professional, frequently stopping by the table to refill drinks and check on us. Both times we went, the food was served extremely rapidly and super hot. The plates themselves were hot to keep your food from getting cold. I have not ordered a cocktail yet, but their menu was very extensive. In addition to the expected array of tequilas and margaritas, they also had a number of gin and bourbon options. I want to circle back and try the house specialty Buffalo Trace bourbon margarita. The lunch menu portions were huge and reasonably priced $12-$15, including several shrimp and steak options. Tres amigo burrito: seasoned steak, chicken and shrimp coveted with Blanco and chorizo sauce. We had other dishes as well but cannot spell them. The shrimp seemed to be grilled and were fabulously seasoned. The Blanco was so great we ordered a small side to enjoy with the chips and wonderful home made salsa. The lunch portions were large enough to enable me to take some home as leftovers. The $9 kids meal had 2 full sized corn dogs, fries and soft drink. As added bonus the lunch menu is available on weekends. Seriously give them a try!!

You've got chicken, you've got shrimp, you've got Mahi. All three proteins are either served in a bowl with jasmine rice or as tacos. You've even got a vegetarian option as well as a salad in there too! I had the Mahi Bowl with added Beans, Slaw and Pineapple Salsa. It was only a bit pricey but then again I literally added on everything you could add on because that's how I roll. The important thing is everything was so fresh. I was told the Mahi takes a little longer than other dishes, though it only took 4 minutes. Well worth the time. It was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The rice was just the right fluff and creaminess and the slaw was crisp with a good crunch. I believe the Pineapple Salsa had habanero pepper in it and it brought a good fire to the dish. The staff is very friendly. The chef hangs outside the truck door between orders chanting "good food over here" to people walking by. Of course I'm paraphrasing. The girl taking your order is relaxed and charming. She could literally sell you the sporks if she wanted to. Do yourself a favor and try these guys out next time you see them.
