    When you arrive, it takes you a minute to get situated. Do I eat inside? Outside? The menu and where you order are on the north side of the building. HINT: look for the yellow pedal that has sign saying order here! All I can tell you is when the employee opened the window, the aroma that came out was intense. My mouth watered and I kind of went crazy ordering: - Yuca Fries - Angry Tater Tots with Pernil - Mary had had Greek Gyro!!! Whoa!!! You gotta come here!!!!

    la Reina

    My husband and I loved this place. It's an amazing fusion taco joint that is open late at night. We tried the Thai peanut taco that had great texture and taste, and the Hawaiian taco, which was very soft and liquidly. Our favorite was La Reina, which was thick and juicy and oh my God it's amazing. Each one was completely different and delicious. When you go up and order, you have to step on the pedal light thing under the window to get their attention . Once you get their attention, everything else is smooth and easy and they are very friendly. The seating area is completely outdoors . They do have a sink in the middle for you to wash your hands after you eat. I don't know. They have a restroom there. Parking is free and out front, but sometimes it gets so busy you have to park on the street. Be aware of the parking signs.

    TaKo Cheena is always that late night spot that hits right after leaving the bars on Mills. Anytime I'm hopping around Mills this is always my go to because the location is near everything, and the ambiance outside really give you that city Chinatown Cali vibes. There's also a DJ inside the food truck posted there that is always playing the jams. They have great Tako specials and let me say, they pack it up in the taco. The flavors are so on point. I had the Hawaiian Chicken and Pork Belly tacos and they did not disappoint. They come and bring the food out to you so you can chill and relax after a long night out. They made sure my tables were clean and comfortable for us to enjoy and came back to the table to make sure if we needed anything. It will continue to be one of my late night spots

    This place has been on my list to try and I'm glad I went. I loved the look of the place and thought it was a cute setup up. There was ample seating outside and free water and napkins immediately available. We received our food quickly after ordering. I got the Asian braised beef taco and the Pernil Asado taco and both were absolutely delicious. My favorite out of the two was the Asian braised beef one as it was very juicy and tasty. The yuca fries were fried to perfect and I love the sauce it came with.

    I went with my colleague today for lunch. It's was a driving distance from Winter Park, so we arrived about 12pm. We were able to park easily and it looked empty as well. However, there was an attendant and they were just opening. I ordered the 3 pack in which I selected the Indian Yellow Curry Chicken Taco, The Greek Lil Lamb Taco, and the Tom Yum Shrimp Taco. It was about 17 dollars after tips. We waited outside as the counter and seating were outdoors. It did take a while did get our tacos, but it was delivered directly to our table. We took it back to our office. I must say the wait was well worth it. For the Indian Yellow Curry Taco, the chicken was tender and the yellow curry dust made it flavorful without any heat needed. The cabbage and cilantro made it filling. There was ample amount of lamb gyro in the Lil Lamb Taco, and it a had a slightly gamey flavor. I enjoyed the tzatziki sauce inside. I did see scallions, but not tomatoes.. The Tom Yum Shrimp Taco had 4 plump big shrimp that were amazing. The sauce and slaw inside it were good too. I did pay a small premium charge for it, but it was worth it. The tacos were quite filling for a nice lunch. The attendant was nice and friendly. It looked like they prepare it fresh, so it does take some time to get our meal. However it was quite delicious and well worth the wait. It looks like they open in the afternoon until quite late, so if you want a very late snack, you can even arrive at midnight and get it. It is a bit pricey for a counter service, but the quality makes this a great choice. I will definitely go there again for a nice lunch not too far from my workplace.

    This place always hits late night and I love how quick the services they do not have indoor seating, an outdoor is usually pretty crowded, but the crowd moves quickly. I would suggest that if you're coming, be prepared to get your food to go, but if a bench opens up, have a seat, the menu varies and they offer lots of options but I personally love the Yucca fries as one of the gems, I've never had something from here that I wasn't impressed with so it's really hard to narrow it down. This is definitely something you should try.

    Amazing customer service, went above and beyond went not even necessary. The food was hot and fresh, a great place to stop on Mills if you're craving a Hispanic / Asian fusion meal

    SERVICE: 3 FOOD QUALITY: 5 DRINK QUALITY: N/A ORDER TIME: 5 AESTHETICS: 3 NOISE LEVEL: 5 MENU SELECTION: 5 OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 4.33 We had to try this spot since we heard so many friends talking about it. Our first impression was Asian street market meets food truck. It looked as though they were once a truck who upgraded to a pop up window with outdoor seating in the mills 50 area. We also learned they are one of only a handful of places you can get a quality meal late night. Sadly most of the tables were dirty and trash cans full which is not good when you have limited customer service since it's all self serve. They have a decent menu with lots of options of asian style tacos, burritos and a good selection of sides. I ordered the 3 taco deal with brisket, Korean bbq and the asado taco. The tacos were delicious and super flavorful. Not a typical taco considering the portion of meat they stuff into it. It was quite the surprise and delightful. Overall, we were overly impressed with the food and how flavorful it was. Definitely worth a stop if you're craving Asian food or tacos. I can definitely see myself making this a frequent visit/doordash, especially late at nights when I know my only options are fast food.

    Tako Cheena is a Mexican/Asian fusion outdoor restaurant located right in the heart of Mills 50. From the outside it looks like a food-truck meets restaurant. As soon as you walk up to the window, press your foot on the yellow pedal which will be next to your right foot and someone comes to the window to take your order. then you take a seat at one of the umbrella covered tables and someone brings your order to you. If you choose to dine there, this is where you'll eat. No indoor seating. Now for the menu. I'd say that If this is your first time visiting, try the 3 taco combo so you can try a bit of everything. The portions look small but you will get full. The Korean burrito is one of my favorites here and it is quite large . Just think of the best bulgogi you've ever had stuffed inside a gigantic tortilla wrap. So good! Order that! My most recent visit here, we ordered the banh mi and Japa dogs ole American belly buster style with a side of yuca fries and ginger apple empanadas. We left satisfied but not too full. Tako Cheena is one of those places that will cure your Asian /mexican food fix or tithe you over if you've had too much to drink. I believe they're still open til 4am. Not too sure about that. I usually come in the afternoon to enjoy the sun.

    I love love love this place...for real...LOVE. The flavors are amazing...sometimes unexpected...but an absolute treat for your taste buds! Best food to eat anytime...but hands down wins the late night eats award...and such a chill atmosphere. Also...the owner, Eduardo, is a delight...truly present and taking an active role in making sure his guests are happy.

    Danielle J.

    I mean, as a late night snack option I would definitely recommend. Unfortunately many of the menu items weren't available for some reason so we landed on the Korean beef. My husband didn't really like it, he said the beef was too chewy and the taco didn't have much flavor. I must be easier to please because I enjoyed it just fine. Also the yucca fries were fresh and tasty. It stays pretty busy if you're here late and there's not a ton of seating.

    Lindsey U.

    Soooo good I immediately want to go back!! The lamb gyro taco was probably my fav, but the Korean beef and pernil tacos were amazing too. The lady said they were like 2 bites big but honestly they were so stuffed it was more like 10 (pleasant surprise)

    Pick up

    This was actually my second time coming here the first one I don't really remember as my friend took me here late night after a show and what I do remember from that time was that it was just as yummy as what we ordered today! So of the many options here we with with a Tom Yum Mojo Shrimp taco and I just say the shrimp was cooked perfectly and it had a good zest that went with it from the slaw making for a yummy but very simple taco. We also got a Korean Beef burrito and while the flavors were here from the fried rice I do feel as if it needed more meat as it was the majority rice the sour cream inside also added a yummy touch to it making for a cool different bite they threw off the traditional Asian flavors that it was full of. We also got Ginger Apple Empanadas and I must say these are some of the better empanadas I've had recently as the batter had a good flavor to it and the filling was hot and yummy making for a delicious sweet treat! Overall the food here is good and you can't ever go wrong with fusion food it's for these reasons of what I had today that was yummy and what I had before which was also yummy making for the reason I hope to get back here again at some point as they did have a few other things that I'd love to try next time around as you can't go wrong when you find unique flavors together like this!

    Korean sausage, cheese arepa, tots with aioli, yucca fries

I tried the roti, the twice fried Korean wings, the coconut shrimp, the Seoul hot chicken bao bun, the pad thai, and the chow faan. The standouts were the Seoul hot chicken Bao buns and the Chow faan. I've gone several times and I would definitely recommend this franchise. Service- 5/5 the service is great. it was fast, courteous, and fun!. The servers always have a positive and energizing attitude. Note: this restaurant serves Tapas style so dishes will come out as they are prepared in the kitchen. While I don't like to share lol, the dishes are meant to be shared. Atmosphere- 5/5 I love the vibe of this place. The restaurant is decorated with many pan-asian cultural elements. In some locations, you can hear the kitchen staff communicating with each other which gives a lot of energy to the restaurant as well. The music is often R&B and/or pop which also adds to the energy of the restaurant. This place is versatile. It can be a nice date night, a family night, or even a solo dinner at the bar. Value- 4/5 Hawkers has a great value. The dishes are generally cheap, or affordable. There are a few pricey options but you can definitely have a nice, affordable dinner with many of the options on the menu. combined with the fast and quick service it's definitely a strong option. Opportunities for Learning- 4/5 There are many opportunities for learning! The menu has a variety of pan-Asian options typically articulated in the original culture. So sometimes the menu will have you googling. Many of the ingredients on the dishes are also culturally specific which provides a really authentic vibe. They often change their menu so often when I visit I leave having learned something different than I knew before I walked in!

We ordered quite a bit, including chicken meatballs, garlic fried rice, avocado, brussels sprouts, mushrooms, Korean fried chicken and the Wagyu dumplings. The standouts were the mushrooms and the brussel sprouts both of which were very savory and the brussel sprouts also had a little bit of sweetness. Overall, the food is good, but for a Michelin restaurant, I was pretty disappointed. I don't think it lives up to the hype. The food is just okay and personally, I think there's better tapas in Orlando, such as Bulla.

It did have a slight kick to it but I liked it. Distinguished Gentleman: was great.

Tasted like the frozen Asian grocery store eel, just underwhelming and not a little tough. 2/5 wouldn't order again. but Overall, it was everything was great, we had good service and good food!
