My daughter had the birria ramen and it was pretty good! I've been here a few times and the food has always been great! Idk why but I llooovveee trying the tortas from different places! This was an azada torta. I loved that the girls were polite and the food was prompt! When I've been there it hasn't been busy. The place has music playing but it isn't loud and there is plenty of seating. I love that they bring you chips and salsa as well read more

Authentic, delicious entrees and customer excellent service. I have eaten here more than once.

Worst food EVER. Seasoning was non existent for anything chicken we got- and hardly any of it! Will never go again. Embarrassing to say the least! read more

Amazing food every time. California girl moves to Central Florida and wants tacos and Mexican food. Well, I searched and finally found this hidden gem thanks to my nephew (also from CA). The tacos are homemade and delicious. The burritos are huge. The sopas are light and can take any filling. Everything is made to order, nothing sits around. Service is amazing. The people there are so friendly. They can be busy and still be friendly and take your order in a timely fashion. It's a cute cafe with Mexican decorations hanging around and Mexican music playing in the background. The atmosphere is relaxing and you are never rushed. Stay as long as you want. read more

Great experience at a new spot. The staff are friendly and service is great. The atmosphere is quaint. The chips and salsa were good. We chose the Birria tacos that had great flavor! The flan is so yummy! The prices are great! You need to check them out. We will be back! read more

My taco salad was good but my husbands enchilada platter was awful. The tortillas were floppy and tasteless. The enchiladas had nothing but chicken in them with some cheese sprinkled on top. They covered it in sour cream (which was not in the explanation) and put NO red sauce on the enchiladas and the description promises they'll be smothered in delicious red sauce. It was truly awful especially for $19. read more

I ordered from here the other day. I got the burrito loco the junior size and it kind of surprised me. I expected more seasoned chicken but it was somewhat bland. However, the rest of it gave the chicken flavor. It was almost light in taste if that's even a thing with burritos. The salsa wasn't great at all. The only thing I could taste was tomatoes and that was it. I wouldn't order the salsa again as old El Paso had better flavor than that. I'm looking forward to another burrito from here though. read more

I've been here before, but today tried something different. Ordered a chicken burrito. Jr size. It came cut in half, stuffed full of chicken, rice and beans! On the side was a small amount of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and cheese to add. It was definitely big enough for junior size, and quite tasty! Also had horchata to drink. Very satisfied with service, portions and quality. Give them a try. Extensive menu to choose from! read more

The best Mexican food that I have tasted in a very long time very authentic Mexican cuisine. You will be very, very pleased.

We love taco time. We go almost weekly. The family running it is amazing. We just had my son's 3rd birthday here and they went above and beyond for us. read more

Food is not worth it. Service was ok. And no ambiance. No alcohol. No music. It just doesn't seem to be very homey, like other Mexican restaurants read more

Taco Time Mexican Grill - Very disappointed! These taco were not worth what paid for. The 1st time I was there, it was great food. And they have no alcohol! - Mexican Near Me - Tavares, Florida

Such a great place to eat. I highly recommend the Biria tacos and rolled tacos!!! Taco Tuesday has some great deals

So good! We love trying little local places! Homemade complementary salsa and chip is so good! The burritos are huge! Mine was a a small and I took over half home. The guac is really good, not overly cilantro which is what I like. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Will be going here again! read more

Taco Time Mexican Grill - Dinner! - Mexican Near Me - Tavares, Florida

Easily one of the best taco places around. The tacos are always on point. I've tried the asada, al pastor and carnitas and have never been disappointed. The little side sauces are amazing, although they forget them sometimes on to go orders. The burrito loco is great and the junior size is the perfect size for me. The aguas frescas are good. Everything always seems and tastes fresh. Even the chips and salsa are good and I always have to get an order. I'm obsessed with their salsa. Mind you I've always ordered for delivery through UberEats for about a year now and have never been disappointed. So it definitely holds up for delivery. read more

I LOVE BIRRIA TACOS! Taco time has some of the best Quesabirria tacos I've ever tried. I've been coming here for about three years and they never disappoint. Let me tell you WORDS GETTING OUT about them too!! I always see more people posting their food and it's getting busier and busier! They're foods so great my job did a collaboration with them and turned their tacos into ramen! People love it!! read more

Ate there for the 1st time today. The food and service were both great! Friendly waitress, clean restaurant and prices were more than fair for the large portion of food. Definitely will go back!!! read more

Were in Tavares on errands & needed a quick bite to eat. Ordered 2 tacos de birria (asada) & a torta de asada. Free chips & salsa (first two orders) while we waited, chips made fresh & salsa was fresh & refreshing. The agua frescas (we ordered horchata & jamaica) were freshly made in-house & delicious. You have the option to order birria in tacos, a quesadilla, or a burrito. The taste was savory & tortillas were crispy while saturated with flavor & melted cheese. The torta was also great. Highly recommend the medium avocado salsa with whatever you're ordering. Rice & beans were also fresh - the rice was probably the best we've had out to eat. Service was so friendly, restaurant was clean & has nice ambience. Will be back! read more

What a gem! We visited on a Wednesday evening, about 30 minutes before closing. The food was delicious AND we never felt rushed. Friendly service. Excited to return soon and try more options. read more

Good food nice staff and manager. Can't wait to go back. Chips and salsa are excellent read more

Fresh and delicious every time!! Clean and friendly. Keep up the great job!! Always recommend this place

The quesabirria tacos are phenomenal! Can't say much about the rest of the menu because the quesabirrias are so good I've only ever ordered quesabirrias. I suppose I should broaden my menu but every time I walk in there, there's only one thing I want to eat, and it's QUESABIRRIAS!! read more

This little place is a hidden gem. It's very clean, small and family run. The menu is fairly limited and simple. They offer several varieties of tacos, burritos all of which are freshly prepared by the owner. Additionally offered at my last visit was chili relleno which was traditionally prepared and delicious. The prices are very reasonable as well. If you are looking for expertly made basic Mexican food in Tavares you can't miss here. read more

This is straight out of mama's kitchen in Mexico. I've traveled extensively in Mexico, and I can say without hesitation this is the most authentic Mexican food anywhere this side of the border. Everything is made fresh from scratch by mama herself. Very impressive Great service and friendly highly recommend this to anyone. read more

Where to begin...it's a fantastic and inexpensive sit down taco place. The desserts are incredible (we had the tres leches). The salsa and chips were so much better than all the chain restaurants. I wish I had taken pictures, honestly it's the best bang for your buck restaurant in the area. read more

Just went for first time. Great Birria tacos. I can't wait to go back and try more of their offerings. Lovely staff! The chips we're really good, too. read more

Taco Time Mexican Grill - a hand holding a taco - Mexican Near Me - Tavares, Florida

The tacos are delicious! Each time I come here, the service has been friendly and quick.

I drove 30 minutes to the restaurant but they were closed at 5:30 even though google said they did close until 7:00 and their hours on their door said 7:00 as well I was very disappointed. read more

The cafe is in a very nondescript strip mall in an industrial type of area. It doesn't look like much. But... I don't go back because of the outside look. I go back because it is so good! I've had just about everything on the menu. And almost everything I've had is top notch. The street tacos -- wonderful. The al pastor is my favorite. But I really like all the other types too. The burrito is huge. My wife and I split it. The ceviche is shrimp, and is decent - not as good as the tacos. The people are great. There are two Almas there. Young Alma waits on you. She is a sweet you high schooler. Her mother, Alma, cooks and makes the agua frescas. Please try them. I hope they reopen after the Caronavirus passes. I miss my tacos! read more

Amazing tacos. My son goes there once a week and she remembered his order after him only going one time.

Best authentic Mexican food you are going to get without going to Mexico, and I lived there growing up. The Birria is perfectly seasoned and I can't get enough of their Avocado salsa! read more

Daily hours are not accurate. Got to the place and lady closed the door before 7pm :(

Small mom and pops place is amazing my girl friend and I love it good people great food !

All I can say is thank god for Mexicans. On of the best tacos I ever had in my life. I went there on lunch break and had a feast. This is why we should let Mexicans through the border and stop being racist. They make the best food. I hate racist people we should all love Mexicans nothing is wrong with them. The food was great #newfavrestaurant read more

Perhaps we caught them on the wrong day. I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I can only go by our experience the first (and last) time we will dine here. To start with, soda's are by the can. Not terrible, as some small establishments can't afford a fountain. We will give them a pass on this. We were provided complimentary chips and salsa. Store bought chips, and salsa that tasted like it came out of a jar. The meal only went down-hill from there. I had the Burrito Loco with Chorizo sausage. I don't know how the kitchen managed to do it, but they managed to provide a burrito that was both dry and oily at the same time. The inside of my bean, cheese, rice, and meat burrito didn't have any beans whatsoever. The cheese was congealed into a cement that had glued a good portion of the rice to the oily tortilla. As for the meat, it was applied sparingly, to say the least. What was provided lacked any texture or real flavor. My wife ordered the chicken quesadilla, and it was equally disappointing. I don't know how a Mexican establishment can screw up tortilla, cheese, and chicken, but they managed to do it. As I said, maybe we caught them on a bad night. Unfortunately we will never be able to tell, as there won't be a second meal here. read more

Taco Time deserves a 5 Star based on all criteria. The Food, of course, is the primary rated element in rating and TT achieves that based on the really authentic flavorful tacos we had. Pork, Chicken, Marinated Pork from all 3 varieties on the menu. Just excellent. What really carries them is the dipped in oil soft corn tortilla shells...fantastic, great corn flavor! Great sauces provided. TT is a clean open inviting eatery. Noticeably clean. Our server was very friendly, prompt and actually enjoyed the fact we enjoyed our meal. Pricing, very competitive and very reasonable. We are confident other menu items would be equally as good as the Tacos are. We will return. Highly recommended. It is as good as it gets? Yep, based on a cumulative rating. read more

Just finished our first trip to Taco Time in Tavares (on Taco Tuesday, of course). It's located at the end of a nondescript strip mall just outside Tavares on old 441 and it's easy to miss. The interior is sparkly clean, in contrast to the surrounding areas which tend to be less welcoming. Seating is small but probably adequate and the atmosphere is tasteful but not overblown. But to the tacos: we ordered the $1.00 Tuesday taco, but were not given the choice between soft and crunchy shells and we honestly didn't know which would show up. To our dismay, it was the soft ones (we learn later that there is a slight up charge for crispy taco shells, which I would have gladly paid if given the choice). We did order a couple of crunchy ones and it was WELL worth the extra .50 each. There are choices of fillings, even on the Taco Tuesday special. The topping we got was extraordinary. I mean really, really good. And it's the topping that sets these tacos apart from their competitors. It's WAY beyond what you expect, by a long shot. Just really tasty and miles from the seasoned beef that most people try to pass as a taco. I wanted to spoon up the overflow - and I would have IF we had been given silverware and napkins, (which we were not until requested). But as seasoned taco lovers know, it ain't really about the surroundings, it's about the taco. And the taco was worth it, in spades. This place is new, and a local news story strongly implied (incorrectly) that this was a lunch-only place and that may have dramatically cut down on evening diners. In fact, we delayed trying it for over two weeks because we could never make it for lunch. But, alas, they are open until 8:00 p.m. This is one of those places you'll keep as your "secret surprise" until you bring a big group out and impress them with your "hyper-local taco find" on Tuesday nights. I presume the other menu items are good too, but that is for another day. read more

I love this restaurant !!! So good and trust me the salsa is not store bought obviously ppl don't know the difference.
