The food was really authentic and so good, the service was amazing, the atmosphere was great, good music and their fellowship was good

The deep fried chimichanga was really good, the fajitas covered in queso was pretty good to.. the waiter just kept piling food on the table without clearing old appetizer plates and there was no room to even move on the small tables. read more

My experience here was great. Food was delicious, prices were good, server was kind and attentive to the table. Seeing the pictures on Yelp had me excited to come here and it did not disappoint. I had the parrillada de la casa, which had shrimp, chicken, steak, pork, and chorizo all cooked up similar to a fajita plate. It arrived with tortillas and a bunch of extra toppings on the side. My friend ordered the beef short ribs, which I don't often see, so that was interesting. They were short ribs and they were lightly seasoned and it really made the taste of beef stand out. We often get lost in all of the sauces and seasonings that we do not get to appreciate the actual taste of the meat. My other friend ordered chimichangas and he had no complaints, so I would say his meal was just as good as ours. The restaurant had a lot of decor with paintings on the walls. I'm not always the most observant with these things, but the first impression when you walk in was that it was quite busy with stuff. The next time I go, I am definitely getting the molcajete for two. read more

Pros: Food- awesome real REAL Mexican food and plenty of variety. None of that taco bell/chipotle bullshit Drinks- will make hair grow where the sun don't shine Cons: In the hood (might be a con for some folks out there) Customer service- could've been better Not family friendly - unless you're okay with your kids hearing vulgar language and seeing drunks drinking in the parking lot Parking-sucks good luck finding a spot I went there on a Sunday; their website states they are open at 11am but when I got there, the place was already FULL HOUSE. I sat down on the right hand side of the restaurant -the bar/kitchen is in the middle dividing the place- which I've dubbed the "non-family" side because the massive drunken profanity coming from the patrons (almost all men). Our server was a women in her 30's with burgundy hair who was nice at first but when I ordered in English, things got awkward & service was not good from her. So my second generation ass had to order in broken Spanish- what she did was on purpose, she saw some second generation Americans and wanted to fuck with them. Yep. Funny thing is when a white and black couple came in *poof* she speaks English. I did notice the younger crowd that worked there were fluent and didn't play games. Her tip suffered for her foolishness. The food was absolutely amazing; can't not say anything bad whatsoever. It truly was authentic Mexican food. Pippin hot, flavorful and was executed beautifully on the plate AND the fact that they had a toppings bar did wonders as well. The drinks were strong and worth every penny. Tip: Order a Michelada - highly suggested! Next time, if I'm in the area I will try ordering to go... might be better. Hope this helps guys! read more

Today was my first time here, I ordered the sopa the menudo and a Michelada. The soup was delicious I don't know what all came in it I know it had tripe but there were other things in there that gave it different textures and it wasn't watered down. I was at the bar so one of the cooks came over and tried explaining what was all In it but it doesn't translate well. The Michelada was my fave the only thing that thru me off was that in the menu it said it was $5.99 but when I got the bill they charged me $7.99. They were busy so I didn't fuss over it. I would have gladly paid the $7.99 either way. Overall, I will return and next time I will make it a point to ask what the price of the Michelada is. read more

Great authentic Mexican food. Big fan of their al pastor tacos and agua fresca. Perfect for lunch or dinner.

I have made a list of pros and cons below. Maybe if I went no to the restaurant I would have had a better experience than through delivery. So take what I say in the review how you will but I listed below my pros and cons for this restaurant. Pros authentic Mexican if you in the mood for it. Food was tasty Offers delivery through Grubhub Cons Food came cold through delivery Food was not prepared correctly Thank you for reading read more

Thank you Yelp! This is such a hole in the wall, and I never ever would have stopped here without the wonderous app that is Yelp. Our party of six came here on a whim. We were seated and our server did not speak much English at all! Thankfully someone in our party spoke Spanish! We ordered an array of food - nachos, tacos, enchiladas, burritos, and we were squealing with delight the entire night. Amazing food for such a great price! Yes the place needs improvements. The bathroom is not the cleanest, the interior is a little old, the location seems a little off putting. Doesn't matter - 5 stats for the food, 100% read more

The prices are really good and the food is good too the rice and beans are ok but you can add salsa to the beans then they're flavorful lol but the actual meats are seasoned well and good portions so I don't care about the beans being bland especially for the prices read more

This restaurant is probably my favorite Mexican restaurant in all of Orlando - only serving great authentic Mexican food here at very affordable prices. We usually come here during evenings on the weekend and it does get pretty busy. The restaurant itself is not very large, but there are large booths that can sit larger parties comfortably but they are very limited. Take out is a great option for those just wanting to pick something up on the way home from work. Once again, l reiterate the authenticity of its tacos - true Mexican style tacos - don't expect taco bell. What you will get is a delicious choice of proteins on a corn tortilla. They come plain but you can add cilantro, onions, lime, and other salsas to your liking. Other foods are also amazingly fresh - I've tried the fajitas and they're more than filling. Everything I have eaten has impressed me. Be warned that the restaurant can make your clothes smell from the food afterwards, so I don't recommend coming in your business suit. Come here and taste Mexico. read more

I'm not a fan, whatsoever. My boyfriend and I came here and we ordered a variety of things. He's pescatarian so he ordered a veggie quesadilla, which came in huge chunks inside...not appetizing at all. They literally took veggies and slapped it in the tortilla, not even with enough cheese. He also ordered the fish tacos, which was eh. It was battered, not seasoned well, and if it wasn't for the sauces it wouldn't be edible. His quesadilla came with rice and beans. The rice was hard, and the refried beans didn't look appetizing at a glance so I didn't bother tasting it. I ordered a gordita, decent. And a carnita taco, which was okay and a chicken taco which was the best one. The only plus side to the tacos is the amount of meat it come with, but it doesn't bring absolutely anything else in the taco and you have to build it from a salsa bar on the other side of the restaurant. This place was not at all what I expected. I think they depend on the sauces for customers to enjoy the food. The customer service was also very mediocre. We had to get the waitress' attention a few times in order to get what we wanted but she definitely didn't check up on us. This place would need a new cook & staff for them to possibly be, at least, a 3 star restaurant. read more

Delicious food and we all had something different. We also enjoyed the nachos with the salsa. the prices were alright for what you get, but we still thought the rest was reasonable. Very friendly staff and funny on top. read more

The service was not that great, limited parking. I ordered a michelada and it was pretty good. One thing I cannot complain about were the tacos de tripa , very crispy. But I ordered tacos de alpastor, it was shredded red meat?! Not sure how they were al pastor at all. The carnitas meat was very dry. When we got the tacos we realized we had to go to taco bar to put toppings. The taco bar had no limes, cilantro, or onions. And it took over an hour for us to get our food. read more

This place can be a hit or miss. I order tacos when I come here. The el pastor, carne asada or the carnitas are my favorite options. The first few times, I had a great experience. Then the tacos started getting greasier. The last time I went, I was put off by the small parking option and how busy the plaza was. My husband and I went around in circles for about 10 minutes for a parking. They have too o trucks next door and those customers prettt much took the parking for the plaza restaurant customers. Then my tacos were extra greasy so we decided to give this place a break and try another restaurant. When the tacos were good, they were worth it. Very authentic. Maybe try going at an early time of day, so there's not a parking issue and a good rush issue. read more

Went here cause I heard a lot of good things about it I can tell you that the food is good the prices are reasonable only reason giving a 3 star cause the place is a lil dirty everyone is to close during the pandemic and kinda freaked me out a lil and the people that worked there don't wear gloves if they clean up a lil and was organized I would give a 5 star I will be going back read more

YUM! I thought I found my taco place earlier this summer but then I tried this place. It's cheaper than the other place and much better too. I got 3 asada tacos and my husband got 3 carnitas tacos and we got a cheese pupusa to share. All very yummy. Tacos were so full of meat that I was too full to even get to the pupusa. Chips and salsa were yummy (and included. A lot of places don't have it included here) read more

Wow! With their strange colored flashinglike, at first glance this place does not look like someplace you'd want to stop. We were buying a car across the street and decided to run out and get some tacos while we were waiting for the paperwork to finish. This place was great! The staff was very friendly and the food was fantastic. I will absolutely come again. We went for tacos and had chicken, carne asada, and al pastor tacos. I've eaten tacos all over the state and all over the country and these were probably some of the very best. I would definitely recommend. My rating system consists of a 3-star being exactly what you expected and neither good nor bad. A 4 means something was extra special and a 5 means you were blown away. A 2 star rating was disappointing and a 1-star rating is terrible read more

Food is fresh delicious authentic we ordered a carne asada Burrito and WOW crema queso fresco we ordered tacos and Flautas also the Horchata was so refreshing love it and price was good must go back they have delicious fresh paletas mango fresas. Hidden gem read more

Highly recommend! read more

The food here was such a great value and very authentic and full of flavor. I like that the tacos come with just the meat and you can customize them yourself at the salsa bar. Small place, but the atmosphere was perfect, down to the colorful plateware. The service was wonderful and friendly, even with a slight language barrier. If in the area, I would definitely visit again! read more

As soon as you walk in you experience an authentic Hispanic vibe. From the music to the chairs/ booths you sit in represents the culture with grace. The place is kept nice and clean. The waitress did not speak English as well but she was genuine and offered a customer service I was highly impressed with from the time I sat down. Where I was sitting was a little questionable because people kept walking by me and the fake plant had them coming really close to me. My order took less than 10 mins and I enjoyed every bite! The portions are very big for an affordable price. I would highly recommend tourists to visit if you are in the Orlando area if you looking for something different and great food. Even though I live across town I know I will be back in the near future. read more

A place that you can easily driven by without noticing, when you walk in the music is kicking, the aroma of the foods being cooked is amazing. 4-5 people is prepping food. The BMW worker i guess is there best customer since the few mins I was there; there were 10 of them in and out, tons of people in and out and was busy. I got the chimichanga, took a little time to cook, but it was well worth it. Price- $7.89 after tax Food- very tasty and authentic- The chicken was grilled to perfection, it was well worth the time to find this place. One of the best chimichanga I ever had. Definitely will be back again They have a wide variety of food. Would like to try more next time. read more

Tacos Express - Mexican Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Tacos Express (which is now under new management since it used to be Tacos Del Rio) is the thing my taco dreams are made of. Why? One word: FRESH! Everything here is cooked to order and so f*cking fresh! When things are fresh, they are automatically delicious. At least they are to me. I got two chicken tacos and two beef tacos. My boyfriend got a steak quesadilla. My food was cooked perfectly. It was like homemade food from your best friend's Mexican aunt/mom/sister/grandmother. The taco tortillas were small and thick, which is very typical of the tortillas you find in Mexico. I prefer them this way, although most people are used to the thin flour tortillas. But at Tacos Express, they do things the authentic way. Good for them! The salsa bar was my favorite part, with all kinds of amazing toppings: freshly cut cilantro, freshly made guacamole, fresh pico de gallo. The service was out of this world. Jose, the owner, was lovely! He even let us hold the television remote! If you have $5 to spare, you can get 4 of the most amazing tacos in Orlando. Oh, and the eating area is so clean. You could eat off the floor. Okay okay, not recommended, but it certainly looked spic and span. read more

Just got off the turnpike heading towards Sea World but needing lunch first. 'Interesting' area. So I opened up yelp to see what was around and found Tacos Express....19 reviews averaging 4 stars and we (my family) love Mexican food..let's do it!! Small place and I'll agree with other reviewers in that it was very clean and the staff (at least our waitress) was very polite. Only negative thing was there were a bunch of flies from it being so hot outside and the door opening and closing. They have a salsa bar that even has guac in it! Truthfully the guac was just ok, and I'm sure this is going to be heresy, but I prefer Chipotle's. Perhaps this is the way it should be though. Between the family we had guac and chips (didn't really need, but we ordered before we knew there was guac in the salsa bar), a wet burrito (very large, very delicious) and a chicken quesadilla. Everything was really good, really fresh. We had this around 1 p.m. Honestly wasn't hungry again til close to bedtime........and one key thing to me about a restaurant is 'was it memorable?'. Well I found myself thinking about it later in the day wanting it again....so I guess it truly was memorable......so now I just need an excuse to go back to Sea World so I can stop here!! read more

I had the tacos and a tostada all beef or carne asada. They give you chips and salsa to start. The chips are thicker and greasier than I have had at other Mexican places. The sodas are in glass bottles. I like how they have the toppings available to grab on your own. They offer hot sauces, cilantro, onions. The restaurant itself is cute, typical Mexican decor. Kids meals are a great deal, lots of food. read more

Amazing Thank you Yelp for helping me to find this place. If you are not following a GPS you may drive right by before seeing it. (Like me) From the outside does not look like much, but service and food quickly overcome any doubts. Owner was our waiter and server. He recommended a family platter with various meats, all the tortillas and toppings we needed. Despite my wife's misgivings (she had already decided on something else) that is what we went with. Including beverages and generous tip $60 for 6 people. What a bargain! Owner brought out 2 bowls of queso and fresh chips for appetizers. Platter included chicken, steak, pork, chorizo and shrimp served on a cast iron skillet like fajitas with onions and bell peppers. All of the meats were flavored excellently and platter was piled high with a more than generous quantity. Flour and Corn tortillas were freshly prepared and brought to table piping hot. He was determined to make sure my wife didn't regret going along with the rest of us and kept bringing her special toppings, freshly made pineapple drinks and even dessert which seemed to be a cross between sopapilla and fried ice cream. I have no reservations about recommending this place if you are in the area. Would even be worth a short drive. Only negative was crowded seating due to size of the restaurant. read more

What a horrible service!!! We made it here at 10:18PM closing time is 11PM the guy said only TO-GO.. we had to beg him to let us stay and he did but said that he will serve us on to go containers. He could have said this nicely from the beginning we would have understand.. so we stay and he never even pass by our table to ask us if we need it anything? He only drop off the waters we ask for and that's it! We had to go behind the counter to grab our own napkins. I been here before during the day, a Colombian guy always have help us very nice guy.

Hands down "authentic". Born and raised in Mexico, living in the US, my wife and I are always on the hunt for Mexican food or finger foods that hit close to home. Tacos Express is killer. Their tacos, menudo, pozole, their michelada's are excellent! Bin coming here 3 years now. All the dishes I've had are delish. Go there. You'll like the food. As a safety precaution as any public establishment, be safe and try not to use the restroom Lol read more

A very hole-in-the-wall spot. According to my boyfriend, they began as a food truck and transitioned over to this restaurant. It's a very small restaurant and I believe it is family run. I'm fairly certain everyone is in fact Mexican and English is not their first language. But don't let that deter you! I'm suuuuper American but they can take my order just fine. It's a little trickier ordering to-go, but they still always accurately fill my order. :) There's typically people eating here and weekends it gets very busy. Once you walk into the restaurant, you can tell that you will be getting authentic Mexican food. There's paintings on the walls/the seats and, depending on what holiday is closest, there are decorations. Overall, very cute place. My boyfriend and I come here at least once a month when we're craving tacos. SO much better than going through the Taco Bell drive-thru. I typically get 2 marinated pork tacos and that fills me up. They are my favorite type of tacos... DELICIOUS. My boyfriend typically gets 4 tacos (steak, chicken, + 2 marinated pork) and that fills him up (he's not a small dude either). The tacos are always fresh and I've never had any complaints about the quality of them. There's a little toppings bar where you can take your plate of tacos to add some zest to them. There's pico, onions, cilantro, limes, and 3 different types of hot sauce/salsa to put on. The best part about the tacos is the fact that they're only $1.50 each! For the quality, this is amazing. A supreme taco from taco bell and their mystery meat costs more than that. All in all, give them a try and support small, family-run businesses! :D read more

It's no surprise that I love Mexican food. I'm very judgmental because I grew up on the border in southern California where real Mexican food is King. (Though it's nothing like my ex mother in laws cooking) For taco express I have 2 words, HOMEMADE TORTILLAS. You can see the process happening in their open style kitchen right in the middle of the of the restaurant. I've eaten here twice and both times the food has been good. The service needs some improvement but I think it's just because they never have enough ppl to service the amount of customers. So if you are on OBT and need to get your "taco or burrito on" and you don't want Taco Bell then this is the place you will enjoy. read more

If you are looking for authentic Mexican food - this is a great place to start. Customer service has always been great. The place is small, and if you need anything there is always someone in sight who can assist. This is a small family-owned small restaurant, and you can tell they care about the food and service they are providing. I typically order tacos and have found that all of the different meats are great. Chips and salsa is brought to the table when you arrive, and a condiment bar is available with different salsas, lemon wedges, onions, cilantro, etc. Some of the key things I look for in a Mexican restaurant to determine authenticity is whether the tortillas are made in-house, and if they have lengua (tongue) on the menu. This place has both. Also try the horchata! read more
