    Fajita Mix for 2 - February 2026
    Diana G.

    Wow! Pepe's Cantina is a beautiful Mexican restaurant with great food and service. Everything was delicious and fresh. We got a pitcher of Royal Premium Margarita (strong and delicious) and the rosemary garnish for the cups was smoked right at the table. I loved that they made the guacamole table side too. It was fun to watch, and you can have the guacamole customized just how you want it. I had the Chimichanga with Angus Steak, Peppers, and Onions. The steak was flavorful and tender. The cheese sauce covering the Chimichanga was delicious. My favorite side was the Sweet Plantain, it was perfectly cooked and delicious plain or dipped in a sauce/sour cream. I'm visiting from out of state, but I would be here all the time if I lived nearby!

    Pepe's Empanadas (2) with birria meat and red sauce

    Sat at the bar and had a great first visit! We got there in time for happy hour and started with the margaritas and a couple of the empanadas. The birria empanada was hands down the winner, so good and definitely something I'd order again. For dinner we tried the enchiladas with red sauce and birria. They were good, but we had some leftover birria consommé and poured it over the enchiladas, and that made them so much better. I'd love them served that way! We also got the plantains, which were really good. Great happy hour, good food, and we loved hanging out at the bar. We'll definitely be back, especially for those birria empanadas!

    Mira!! Easy solid four or more for tasty Taco Tuesday tacos. Was my first time in. Everyone was very helpful, friendly, and nice. Al Pastor tacos were pretty good. Also went with the caldo de pollo which was good but a little fancy for me. I tend to prefer more rustic versions of it; but it was good. As also were the chips and salsa kicked up with a little spicy salsa picante. Was able to add roasted jalapenos. Overall, nom nom nom yum yum mi amigos!!

    I'm never in this area so we didn't know where to eat, I'm glad we stopped in. Ambiance was nice, clean, service was good. I ordered the chimichanga which was great and the other two people I was with, ordered the enchiladas, both loved their meals as well. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the chips, but I everything else was great. I loved my pineapple spicy margarita. It was perfect.

    Very good service. Nice atmosphere. There is a nice bar with televisions. The food was delicious and fresh.

    Vegan quesadilla
    Kaylee N.

    Vegans beware- they got rid of all vegan friendly cheese AND the chocolate dessert. We've been regulars here for a long time- my husband loves the burrito queso and XXL burrito. I'm vegan, and they used to have a full veggie friendly menu with vegan "meats" and "cheeses." They still have vegan "meats" but no "cheese" or "queso." The vegan quesadilla and nachos were my 2 favorite things. Our server, Adrianna, (4/25) was very sweet and understanding, but she could only serve us food and take our feedback. We came for dinner tonight and sadly only ordered drinks. It's not the same without 'cheese' with or without dairy. We'll continue to order occasionally for my hubby, but sad we have to find a new local date night spot. We had our wedding dinner here lol.

The drinks were reasonably priced, beautifully presented, and genuinely delicious--an unusually powerful combination in the world of enchanted cocktails. The menu also changes frequently, with the offerings themed around different events and occasions, which gives each visit the feeling of opening a new spellbook. As a witch doctor in search of the perfect concoction to summon a certain deity, I sampled the offerings with great determination. Though the deity remained elusive, the drinks certainly brought the evening to life. The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was enjoyable, and the experience made for a memorable night with good company. If you're looking for delicious drinks, fair prices, and a menu with a little theatrical magic, the Capital Room is well worth visiting. Just be careful what you order--the next cocktail may awaken something ancient.

The ambiance is about half of what this place is all about. It's very Trader Sam's, including a lot of neat Disney memorabilia on the shelves on the walls behind the bar.

You can come and enjoy a nice drink without getting alcohol. We also ordered a burger from their limited food menu. It was very good. Not in competition for best burger in Orlando or anything, but the flavors were on point, and bun was nice and soft, and the furikake dusted crinkle cut fries were the perfect side item.

I sadly didn't get to snap a photo of the excellent appetizer buratta, but it was a perfect blend of balsamic tomato and creamy cheese! I am a true foodie, and this was hands-down the best burger I've ever eaten. My husband absolutely loved his shrimp and grits, perfectly cooked and well balanced flavor. Well, I know everyone recommends the chocolate cake, I can't rave enough about the crème brûlée. Do yourself a favor and go out of your way to enjoy a " private chef experience" meal!

We ordered the Elotes off the cob ($11.99) and the Molcajete ($30) which is grilled fajita steak, chicken, chorizo, shrimp, onions, nopal cactus and cheese. We also ordered one Margarita ($16). We first experienced a Molcajete in a restaurant in Mazatlan, Mexico and fell in love with it and all of its ingredients including the cactus. This Molcajete at Cocina Maya was soooo tasty. Served in an actual Molcajete which is made from lava rock and it holds the heat very very well. We shared this between the two of us and still had a decent amount to bring home with us. The Elotes was very tasty and the corn was nice and firm and it was perfect. Service was friendly and attentive. The dining room is light in colors and there is a lot of light that shines through the windows. This restaurant is a good distance from our home, and well worth the drive to it. We most definitely recommend this tasty restaurant.

Unfortunately, the restaurant experience was pretty disappointing compared to that first impression. The space itself feels a little sterile, although the service staff was friendly and nice. We ordered the al pastor and chicken tacos, and I also tried the tamales and my friend's fish tacos. Unfortunately, everything felt a bit dry and under-seasoned. The masa on the tamales in particular was very dry. The drinks were just okay as well, they tasted pretty weak compared to the cocktails we had at the Yelp event. It's a shame because I really enjoyed what I tried at the event and went in expecting a lot more. Maybe we just caught them on an off day, but based on the difference between the two experiences, I left pretty disappointed.
