It has been awhile since we've given this location another chance as they were having some severe challenges with food, quality, and service in general. We came in on a Friday night around 7 o'clock, and we were able to be seated immediately. Our server, a gentlemen, was excellent. He was very attentive and funny, and just made our dining EXPERIENCE great. The chips and salsa are so good here highly recommend them. We had the Mar y Terrie for dinner - steak, shrimp and rice and beans. It was a pretty large serving so we ended up sharing it, which was perfect for us because there was enough meat for both of us. We each got two shrimp, 4oz of steak and then split the beans and rice. I also got the sangria margarita which was delicious. Their sangria is a dry sangria so that is important to note if you're not a fan of dry sangrias. read more

Came here to celebrate my daughter's first birthday yesterday. Unfortunately, both my toddler and one year old were not in the best mood. The server was extremely friendly and accommodating. He made sure to get the chips and salsa out quickly to help my hangry children. We were only able to order cheese enchiladas. But they were really good. The red sauce wasn't the typical tangy and spicy enchilada sauce, it was a bit sweeter (possibly a mole type sauce). Definitely plan to come again when the kiddos are in a better mood and try more of the menu! read more

The Mexican food here is one of the best in my opinion. Service is always good especially from those who have worked there for years. The Ambiance is very family oriented and we love that it is up the block from our home. Definitely a hidden gem. read more

Tacos & Tequila - Parillada for one. - Tacos Near Me - Winter Garden, Florida

The food, service, drinks, and ambiance of this great dining establishment are completely on par. The outdoor dining area is way cool. I've been here a handful of times and each time it's been consistent. This is definitely a locals' hot spot and somewhat of a hidden gem. I'm definitely making it my go-to neighborhood Mexican spot...you should too. read more

This was our first time trying Tacos & Tequilas. After reading so many positive reviews, I really wanted to love this restaurant. There are plenty of Mexican restaurants in the area where we can choose to spend our hard-earned money and, just as importantly, our time, so unfortunately this first experience was disappointing. When we walked in, it was hot and humid and smelled like Fabuloso cleaner. I asked the host about happy hour and all she could tell us was that it ended at 6. We were seated, and several minutes passed before our server greeted us. We ordered drinks and asked for a water as well. We were ready to order our food, but first I asked her to confirm whether burritos were $12 that day, since their Instagram has advertised $12 burritos on Wednesdays as a daily special since June. She seemed unsure and said she would check. About 10 minutes later, she returned with our drinks and asked if we were ready to order, but never gave us an answer about the special. I had to ask again, and she then confirmed that the burritos were $12. We ordered our burritos along with a side of maduros. My husband had just gotten off the golf course and was very thirsty, but his water still hadn't arrived. Our server wasn't coming back around, so when the host walked by, he politely asked if she could please get our server. Unfortunately, she seemed to forget and went back to the host stand. A few minutes later, our food arrived, but we still had no water, silverware, or napkins. We waited a couple more minutes until we finally saw our server and had to ask for silverware and napkins so we could actually eat our food. She brought those over along with the water. We were already halfway through our meal when we saw her walking by again and had to remind her about the maduros. She said, "Oh yeah," checked on them, and finally brought them out. The food itself was okay, but the service was extremely inconsistent and inattentive. We shouldn't have to repeatedly track down our server for water, silverware, napkins, an answer about an advertised special, and a side dish we ordered. I really wanted to enjoy this place based on the reviews, but for a first visit, it unfortunately didn't leave us feeling like we would choose to come back, especially with so many other Mexican restaurants in the area competing for our business. read more

Ordered from Uber Eats and nothing was as described. The Pozole was only pork and hominy served with a small baggie of cabbage and really could have used the radishes and lime (as listed on the menu.) Definitely not worth over $20, maybe worth $12. The Chicken Soup was the greasiest chicken soup I have ever seen and also overpriced at over $19. (The picture is after having poured one layer of grease off the top.) The flour tortillas were horrible, sweet, doughy and obviously store bought. The container of salsa in the chips and salsa was only half full. Not worth Uber Eats prices and definitely won't be back. read more

I have given this place multiple chances, but the quality is just unacceptable. Today was the final straw. I ordered tacos, and the birria dipping sauce was literally just oil and grease. No flavor, no quality, just straight oil. The tacos themselves were extremely small and absolutely not worth what I paid for them. I truly wish I could get my money back. This also isn't the first time. The last time I ordered, the tacos were dry, the meat tasted old, and the tortillas were bland. The food quality has become consistently terrible. The service is just as bad. There is always something wrong with my order missing items, incorrect portions, or things I paid extra for not being included. I've had multiple times where I ordered a combo that comes with three tacos and received only two. You cannot leave without checking your entire order because something is always missing. The wait times are also ridiculous, even when the restaurant is not busy. The overall service needs major improvement. The dining room is honestly horrendous. It does not feel clean, welcoming, or well maintained. The entire experience is disappointing. This is not about one specific employee the problem is the overall quality of the food, service, and experience. After multiple bad experiences, I cannot recommend this place. read more

I randomly stopped by this restaurant, and it happened to be Taco Tuesday! $3 tacos and $5 margaritas (real margaritas that don't taste like syrup). Simple but authentic tacos. Looking forward to going again. It's in a plaza, so not easy to view from the road; but give it a try. Quiet restaurant, filled with booths and a bar. The waitress/ bartender was attentive; I enjoyed my lunch. read more

Food was great as always, service too! Never fails to satisfy the craving for good Mexican food.

Stopped in for a quick bite. Salsa was SO fresh and yummy. Prices were on point for the location. Most things seemed prepared as ordered. Only issue was my husbands plate never came out until the rest of the table was done eating. They messed up his order and as soon as the waitress set the food down she saw the mistake - an allergy mistake so she immediately removed it from the table. Came over 4x to say "sir it's coming right out" and it took over 30 min. So he did not even finish his food bc he felt bad about us waiting so long for him. No apology or convenience offered by any of the staff. Had a nice looking outdoor space but too cold to sit out there. Good parking. Cash or card. Bathroom onsite. read more

Amazing Food!!! Party of 6 and thumbs up all around everyone ordered something different. So Yummy!!

Tacos and tequila is one of my favorite neighborhood go-to's. It needed a little work getting up and running and really good on its feet after the transition. I think they have finally found their groove and we will continue to enjoy the yummy food off the expensive menu but in an updated atmosphere. The bright colors and cozy booths make it perfect for dates, family, or group dinners. There's always something for everyone in the family. My new favorite item is the birria soup (the lunch portion is huge). Our server was delightful and she had so many great recommendations. The fajitas are always yummy and you have to love a good sizzle!!!! Hoping you have as good of an experience as I/we do and I hope you find a new favorite item off the menu too. read more

Amazing salsa and chips! You can always tell if a Mexican restaurant is good if the salsa is good! I had the chicken fajitas and they were so tasty also burrito was amazing. Excellent service! Brand new tables, chairs and booths. Very comfortable. AAA+++ read more

Although the food was good, we waited 10-15 minutes for a server to come to our table.

The absolute best Mexican restaurant in the world!!!!! My husband and I frequent Tacos & Tequila every Tuesday and occasionally a few other nights a week. On Tuesday, you can't beat their taco and margarita specials. You can get a street taco for $3 or a supreme taco for $3.50. Margaritas are only $5 and are generously made! The birria tacos are my favorite, but there are several options to choose from and you can't go wrong with any! While their house salsa is amazing, their avocado salsa is the best salsa I have ever had. It is SPICY!!! though, so be prepared. While their tacos are delicious and phenomenal, the casa special is my favorite thing on the menu. With so many flavors, you can't go wrong with this classic Mexican dish. Good deals, great service, and tasty food! read more

Went here for a late lunch on Sunday. The menu shows lunch specials during the week and I saw chorizo and eggs and was hoping I could pay a bit more and get it on a Sunday but they wouldn't budge. Order the street taco combo instead. I had shredded chicken, shredded beef and carnitas. It comes with rice and beans. I am not usually a Mexican rice fan but this was really good. The beans were good but nothing special. OMG they have homemade corn tortillas. How was this not in any of the reviews. They are tortilla perfection. The street tacos came with salsa verde and it was delicious. It is not the same as the avocado salsa they have which was also phenomenal. The hot chips were great but their red salsa I didn't love it tasted like jar salsa. But don't need it because the avocado one is all I needed. My sister ordered steak enchiladas. She said they tasted a little off. I tried it and it smelled and tasted fishy. My sister wasn't going to say anything but I did and the server asked her if she wanted something else. She suggested ground beef quesadillas to take home because they reheat well so that's what she did. Just like everyone shared the service is phenomenal. read more

Waited for over 30 minutes before server came over to our table....i had to waive one down. We were going to order dinner but just got an appetizer and STILL WAITING. Service was horrible. Margaritas are 90% ice, we watched the bartender make them...so stick with beer read more

The ambiance in the restaurant is great. They have traditional Mexican music playing and the decor makes you feel that you are south of the border. They are known for their great margaritas and I certainly enjoyed the blue margarita! For lunch i ordered the burrito clasico (w/ ground beef). I really enjoyed the burrito. The house hot sauce is great but not super hot. The others in my group enjoyed their food too. We have a favorite Mexican restaurant in the area but this place ranks up there! Service was a little slow but everything else was great. read more

I like to go to lunch late, it was 2:30 PM when I arrived. The dining room had multiple tables available. There were two parties of four at this time of day. I placed my order for chili rellenos after being served the chips and salsa. Drink menu offered a Paloma.... My new favorite. The cheese rellenos arrived, and though hot, it held two bars of unmelted cheese. I pulled those out and set aside. The chili was also covered in melted cheese so it was not missed. Beans and rice are phenomenal! As I ate the dining room filled with an additional four parties ready to enjoy a late lunch. Will go back to try the tamales and enchiladas!...and a Paloma! read more

I love this place! Always good dinner and the best margaritas. I recommend the watermelon margarita. This time I decided I wanted something small so just got the app sampler. So much food. They always serve big portions. The sampler had jalepeno poppers which were in need of more cheese but a good crunch, beef nachos with their amazing queso, chicken flautas which were so full of chicken, and one of the best cheese quesadillas I have ever had. I need to come for dessert some time. I hear their flan is amazing. read more

We met some friends to try this place for dinner and WOW our whole party was extremely impressed with this place! They said they margaritas were some of the best they had had. We started with queso fundido, which was amazing and that crunchy burnt cheese left in the skillet? Definitely scrape that up with your fork and don't leave it behind. SO good. And now for the main event! Shame on me, I didn't get a single picture, it was that good we just dug right in. Taquitos - great portion, the shredded beef was nice + tender, great flavor. The sauce that comes smothered on top was a green sauce with an explosion of different flavors, SO good. Pozole - out of this world. Broth with also a great depth of flavors + a nice amount of spice. Tender chunks of pork that just melted in your mouth... it was phenomenal Chimichanga- delicious, great portion, great flavor Carne asada - yum! Tender, marinated very well and also an explosion of flavors. Overall, every single entree was something we would order again and I already want to go back there and eat! Desserts - DO IT. We got the dulce de leche churros + a fried ice cream. Both amazing. The churros had these little pockets of dulce de leche in the middle, gah... don't pass them up! read more

Give me one Margarita and Ima...!!Let's get it!! Great food and MARGARITAS!! The name says it all! If you're looking for an all around great Mexican restaurant, this is your spot!!! The service is usually pretty good, but on Friday nights bring your patience. They can get a little busy during the dinner rush! We've tried several items on the menu and everything so far has been a hit! Enjoy and bring your appetite!! read more

This is a GREAT restaurant for Mexican food... from authentic Chilaquiles, to pozole, to something more popular like Fajitas. The staff is extremely nice and knowledgeable, they made my day. The environment has a very "Mexican-vibe" since they have playing rancheras and Mexican baladas (songs) in the background. Very recommended for anyone craving authentic Mexican food!! read more

Went here with a friend for a lunch and ate inside. They had lovely outside dining options but as my friend has lupus, we opted for sitting out of the sun. The food was very good but my drink was amazing! I ordered the horchata and my friend ordered the hibiscus. Let's just say, we asked for to-go refills which they obliged! The staff I encountered were all bilingual making the entire experience very pleasant. When my friend had specific questions, she would slip into Spanish for clarity and was easily able to get her questions answered. read more

So we have been going to Tacos & Tequila since it was the previous name (same owners, food, different name). The food quality has always been very good. They have a nice size menu and authentic Mexican. Don't forget the drinks or smoothies; yum! The service is awesome. We also order take out or delivery. Not delivery is routed via DoorDash but until the point of handoff; they are very good and friendly. Ambiance is fairly loud, friendly place with authentic Mexican feel. Cool place to hang out, bring family or a date. read more

The service is good the drinks are but the food isn't the steak is isn't flank steak for the fajitas or other dishes which call for better cuts of meats - their preparing an over cooked thin pieces of beef not sure what cut not typical Mexican beef cuts. Very disappointing big drop in quality since I last visited last October. read more

My wife and I absolutely loved Tacos & Tequila. We went for their Taco Tuesday deal and were honestly blown away by the quality of their tacos for the price. We also shared the Birria nachos, and absolutely loved it. They also have a unique avocado spicy salsa that is the best salsa we've ever had! We will make it a tradition to come here for Taco Tuesday as much as we can! We love tacos read more

The wife and I decided to try this place for her birthday lunch and we weren't disappointed. We started with the birria nachos that were loaded with meat and tasted delicious. We also order mixed drinks that were also good. For both of our meals we had the tacos. My wife had taco supremes and I had street tacos. To top it off, they gave my wife a shot of Tequila as they and Happy Birthday. We most definitely will be back. read more

Best Mexican restaurant in winter garden. Food is authentic and is delicious. Been here a bunch of times and it never disappoints

Fun place and good food so you stall a great place for family and for a friends gathering

No photos this time since I just got takeout - but this place really came in for me when I needed it! There isn't much Mexican to be found yet in Horizon West, and this wasn't too far of a drive and offered takeout! I ordered the birria tacos and their queso dip with chorizo. The queso was good value and came with so many chips! They even packed up the table chips and salsa and included them in my to-go order, which I appreciated! The queso wasn't my all time favorite but certainly did the job and was tasty. The birria tacos also hit the spot! The shells weren't quite as crunchy (perhaps because of takeout) as other options I've had, but the flavor was great and they gave me plenty of salsa and consommé to dip in. A filling meal when I needed it! I'd come back to dine in for sure. read more

This place is located in a corner where at night specially is visible if you are from the stony Brooke/area.

I will come back for more in the menu read more

Server was excelente. Great attitude and service. My group of 6 asked so many questions and she was patient and attentive. Food was brought out hot and fresh. I had the birria queso tacos with the consume which is like a broth. Very delicious and crisp. Then the ceviche was fresh and tasty served on top of a lettuce leaf with cucumbers and avocado. I personally asked for limes to squeeze on top of the ceviche there wasn't enough for my taste. My margaritas were very tasty and flavorful. I could taste the flavor and alcohol but not over powering. I would 100% recommend to try. read more

Feel lucky to have great quality, authentic Mexican food in the Winter Garden area! Tacos and Tequila (formerly Fruta Mix) always delivers tasty offerings. I was sad when they got rid of the popsicles but I still love the food and good quality margaritas. Love coming here for the food & ambiance. I am a big fan of their Chile rellenos and now the birria tacos which are new on their menu. Always reliable. read more

GREAT first visit! The food was excellent. The greeters were super-friendly and the server was above & beyond (Jessuel - probably not spelled right, but tried). The chicken fajitas are excellent. My son had the pulled chicken burrito...didn't leave anything behind. Rice and refried beans (which are vegetarian) were great. Absolutely NOTHING I can mark this place down on! Ambiance is bright and authentic. Plenty of parking. The place is clean. The people are a standout! ( At 19, Jessuel could be managing a restaurant.) They've got college and high-school age people working here...all were smiling, energetic and not on their phones. Assistant manager was very nice as well. This family business is being run the right way! Clearly, the management and staff takes a lot of pride in their work. read more

I guess this re branded from fruta mix. You can still get all the slushees / mixes. Has vegan options. We tried the watermelon drink which was pretty and very sweet. My food was good. Service was great. Not too busy. My complaint is that my stomach hurt the day after. Maybe msg ? Or I'm sensitive to something they use. So I won't go back. read more
