    Flavorful tacos
    Linda D.

    Went here today and left my phone in the car so I missed taking pictures. I had 2 chicken tacos . Soft tacos and my partner had a beef taco and a shredded beef taco . Both orders were very flavorful and nicely prepared . Thanks to the lovely ladies at the food truck.

    Carne Asada Tacos.
    Alessandro G.

    I love it here! The service is fast and the tacos are always consistently good! Over the years, I've ordered the tacos, tostadas and quesadillas and I can recommend them all with confidence. Very authentic! You order inside and wait around the food truck parked out front. Everything is served on foam plates and wrapped in cellophane, so clearly all the focus is on the food! There is a few tables outside, not "patio dining" by any means as this is a roadside location, but it's a fun spot to grab lunch on a work day.

    My first meal when I moved to Florida was this taco truck and I've been going every since! (7 years now) nothing can't curve that craving like their tacos! (I always add queso and the green salsa is perfectly spicy) Everything is so authentic, affordable and mind blowingly flavorful!

    Order inside. Pickup at truck.

    Passed this place many times but never tried it before. Well you know it's authentic and good before even trying it because there's about 30 brown people outside at the tables either eating or waiting for food at dinner time. This little food truck is MOVING some food out! In the 20 minutes it took from ordering to getting the food, we saw about 15 or more plates of food leave the truck. The line behind us kept growing. Got our food home and AMAZING FLAVORS! I had steak tacos and I am not exaggerating when I say these are the best tacos in Brevard County. Can't wait to try their other stuff. You can also call your order in ahead of time, so that's super helpful.

    Tacos, overpriced you don't get your worth. 1.75-2.00 @ most I would pay.

    Nice spot I would give it another try. Quick tip, when you are eating at a food truck/sit down spot, if the chicken is Boiled, DONT DO IT. luckily these folks don't so we good to go! Good selection of food. Keep up the good work! HHF? Yea mos def!

    Adobada tacos with a side of rice and beans.

    Great authentic Mexican food! You won't be disappointed. I recommend the whole menu. This small place is a real gem and beyond expectations. Inside is a store with a nice variety of items. I will continue to eat here.

    Asada Gorditas

    Good asada tortas, good asada gorditas, good asada burritos! I will try the menudo and tamales this weekend and I anticipate them being good as well...I hope great though. There are limited Mexican restaurants in the area and we've tried about half of them and were very disappointed...bland and watered down Mexican food to say the least. BUT this place is authentic and you will not be disappointed...good, authentic Mexican food is here! They've got a regular customer because we'll be back.

    I wish they had shrimp tacos but the bean burrito I had was really good. They put red sauce on top and it comes with a salad. Plenty of flavorful food for a reasonable price.

    The actual Mexican food seems to be made in the Taco Truck. You need to make your order in the store though.

    First visit to Fiesta Azul Tequila House, and based on the amount of food that somehow ended up on…read moreour table, we clearly came prepared to investigate the menu properly. We started with the chips and salsa, which were fresh and crispy, followed by the queso and guacamole. The queso was good--pretty much your classic cheese dip--but the guacamole was fresh, creamy and absolutely delicious. Of course, we also had to try the margaritas, and now I understand why this place is known for them. Fantastic. Fruity, flavorful, beautifully presented and dangerously easy to drink. Then came my favorite thing of the entire meal: the birria ramen. The noodles had that perfect bouncy chew, the egg was cooked beautifully, and the broth somehow found the sweet spot between traditional ramen and rich Mexican birria. It didn't taste like someone simply dumped birria into a bowl of noodles and called it fusion--it actually worked. The chicken mole enchiladas were enjoyable, but didn't execute that traditional flavor coming across a bit bland and lackluster. I also assumed there would be cheese inside with the chicken, and there wasn't. That's on me! Next time I'm asking for cheese because I think that would've made a huge difference. And finally, the molcajete arrived. Loaded with grilled meats, seafood, vegetables and fresh cactus, it was extraordinary. So many different flavors and textures packed into one dish, and the cactus was especially good. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal. Service was good, everything was clean, though the restaurant has a somewhat bland yet modern atmosphere.

    FANTASTIC!!!!! So good. Actually shocked just how good. I got this wrong from first look. I…read morereally thought this was going to be yet another El Torito knockoff. WRONG!!!! Let me tell you this was the best Mexican I have had since I moved from California where the best Mexican food exists besides Mexico. I had the ahi tuna ceviche. Best ceviche I have ever had and I have had ceviche through out the world. Best, hands down. The flavors coming out of this dish had me talking about them for the last 4 hours. Phenomenal. My family had various dishes, chicken quesadilla, a chicken mole, a burrito, a taco, and a veggie dish. All reported better than a typical place. They had some really interesting things on the menu, so can't wait to get back there. Service was great and there were a ton of people there. Food presented well and tasted fresh. Chips and chipotle dipping salsa were excellent too. Bathrooms and dining room were spotless and for a place that has chips, that is a difficult feat. Well done! This is a must try. Let me know what you think!

Not sure why this place wasn't packed because of the food and drink quality was amazing. For drinks, I ordered the Cantarito Jalisco and boy it was strong. They don't mess around with their alcohol. While it was strong, it was still tasty and it came along with mini Reposado bottle where you dump the contents into your drink. If you like strong drinks like me, I recommend this one. My MIL and hubby had a margarita and I don't remember what it was called but man was it a HUGE margarita! You definitely need to pace yourself with this one. I definitely want come back for happy hour! For our entree, I ordered the Enchiladas Guadalajara. It was delicious. I'm such an enchilada girl and this one landed in my top 3. It comes with 3 shredded chicken enchiladas topped with queso fresco and sour cream. Soooo yummy. It comes with a side of yellow rice and salad. I want to try different items on the menu next time but this one was a good first choice. Overall, the vibe inside the restaurant, cleanliness, and staff attention exceeded expectations. Thanks Agave D'Oro!

    Happy Cinco De Mayo. This is pretty much our go to Mexican place. We dropped in and was once again…read moreso happy. The place was packed because of the holiday. We opted for a quick dinner at the bar. And quick it was, but so good. I had their chimichanga. Fantastic and huge. The meat was perfectly seasoned and so tender. The toppings were fresh. Great presentation with refried beans. Delish. My wife had the carnitas tacos. You get three for like $15. She reports them being delicious as well. Her's came with rice and beans which were excellent. The portions here are huge. The ingredients are excellent, so they aren't skimping. The food to value ratio is excellent. Great food, lots of it at reasonable prices is win! And the people are all so nice. They even have extra patience when some asks a million questions while butchering pronunciation. LOL. Good peeps.

Facility: this is a small quaint spot with Mexican decor with red seats. There is booth and regular seating. The booths have high back which allows for nice privacy. Service: the waiters are always super helpful and nice here. The food comes out quick too. Food: I love the salsa here. It's so hard to find a place with a good salsa and I like theirs. We always order the queso dip too. It was a little too thin this time and they fixed it right away. I also always get the carnitas fajitas. I love carnitas and when they put it on the sizzling cast iron, it adds some crunchy "burnt" parts. Not really burnt, but well done and delicious. But there's still plenty of tender juicy parts of the carnitas too. Another downfall is they only give you rice or beans and not both like usual Mexican restaurants. Otherwise the food is top notch. Overall: this is the 3rd time I've come here. It's not too far from where I live and I like the food and service, so we will be back.
