The restaurant is next to a convenience store and it is pretty large with plenty of seating. They do to go orders as well. I ordered the grilled chicken and a chicharron taco.

I am on a quest to do two things…read more 1. Support small businesses. 2. Find the most authentic tacos in Seminole County. La Takeria is a very small establishment off of 17/93 and Laura street. Let's be honest. Most of use have driven past and never realized it's a restaurant. The restaurant is clean. The lady working the counter was friendly. Her young daughter was helping her with various task. She was so kind to her daughter when she spoke to her. I knew that my goal of supporting a small business was spot on for the day. I ordered the two taco lunch special. I had the brisket and the Al Pastore tacos. Homemade small corn tortillas, fresh cilantro, onions, garnished with a fresh lime, and some pretty spicy salsas. The rice and beans were very flavorful, and I really appreciated the fact that the beans were still whole versus a purée. Absolutely some very tasty food today for lunch. For $10 you get everything that I have shown in the pictures including the drink. Go support this family and have yourself some tasty tacos .

Don't be like me and order there, you'll end up waiting 30mins on a busy night...watching everyone else pick-up their delicious smelling bags of food. Steak, chicken, Barbacoa, and potato tacos. Steak burrito. Extra hot sauce. Horchata. Filling is abundant, tacos are pre-sauced, limes on the side, good prices for the quality and quantity of the food. Great location with decent parking availability as well. Super cozy under the oak tree. I absolutely housed the tacos. They were really good, not typical flavors in my opinion. Maybe like a different regional flavor of the standard al pastor and carnitas that we're used to but really really good. I used to live in LA and these would almost be better than the ones at my LA spot...if Francisco's made their own fresh tortillas. Don't let the tacos sit for long, they get soggy and the tortillas will tear. My new favorite, go-to spot. So sorry to fiesta Mexico in Apopka.

We brought our family friends here for a Taco Tuesday-style dinner, and La Patrona absolutely delivered. Being the closest spot to where they were staying made it convenient, but the food made it unforgettable. The dishes were incredible -- packed with flavor, generous portions, and that authentic birria experience we were craving. La Patrona didn't just meet our expectations, it blew them out of the water. If you're in the Orlando area and looking for tacos that hit different, this is your spot. Highly recommend to anyone who loves bold, delicious Mexican food.

As you can see from my photos, I've tried a few of the different foods from the menu, and all have been pretty tasty. I especially like the American tacos. Which is weird to say since I'm from California and usually prefer street tacos lol. I had the horchata for the first time yesterday, and it was TO DIE FOR! The only problem was that it was the largest drink I've ever had, so I was unable to finish it. Every time I've gone inside to pick up my order, the cashier and server have been polite, attentive, and ready to help. The restaurant has traditional decor, and you truly feel comfortable coming in.

Santa Rosa has quickly become one of my favorite local Mexican restaurants…read more The food is always good. The service is also exceptional. Even on a busy day like Cinco de Mayo, the staff really held their own and remained friendly and attentive. The overall vibe is usually a bit more chill but on holidays it does get lively. In fact, Cinco de Mayo was one of the busiest and most lively I've seen the restaurant. Even with all the extra foot traffic, quality service was still upheld. I finally ventured out and tried their hard shell tacos (with beef). They were a little on the plain side but for $9.00, 3 hard shell beef tacos did what they needed to do. With some cilantro, queso and salsa, the tacos were brought to life. As always, the margaritas were great! I usually only need one - so that's always a good sign. Price points are incredible. I really cannot rave more about how affordable this local spot is. I'll continue to visit and try more of their menu. They got a long term fan out of me!

If you're driving too fast on the 436, you will easily pass it. It's tucked back off the road, look for their blue sign or the inflatable tube man (that is usually waving its arms in the wind). Service is excellent, super friendly and welcoming. The spot is always very clean and inviting. Traditional Mexican music videos playing on a few tv screens, nothing too distracting...adds to the ambiance. We've tried quite a few dishes here and have never been disappointed: chicken enchiladas with house "special sauce", shrimp and mushroom enchiladas, the chicken tortilla soup is really flavorful and LARGE, grande burrito, chimichanga, and we always order guacamole. They never have a lot of customers (I would assume because of the set back location), I hate sharing one of my local favs but, I definitely want them to stay in business!

They do have some very colorful decor around as well. Staff was friendly throughout. I opted for the burrito and it was ginormous and I definitely couldn't finish all of it. Definitely well worth the price point for the amount of food that you're given. Everybody was very happy with their meals and drinks and I'll definitely be returning to this location.

Each person gets at least 2 glasses full which is a great value for the price. Things we like: Pastor Tacos, Nortenos Tacos, Tacos Gringos, queso dip, and the rice and beans with the main dish. Service is always wonderful, the staff is attentive and helpful if you want recommendations. If the dining room looks full, try sitting at the bar and you'll be right at home.
