    Loaded Fries
    Jennifer G.

    Sadly, we didn't have a good experience at our 1st visit at Talkin' Tacos. However, the food tasted delicious!! The atmosphere is dark and uninviting. However, the theme is fun. You walk in and place your order on their iPad. They never greeted us or asked if we needed any help. Once we ordered, I received a text stating my order will be ready in about 10 mins. They brought out our loaded fries and guacamole. A bit later, the stack wrap came out. At a 1/2 hour later, we still didn't receive our tacos. (Everyone around us who came in after us already had their food.) I asked the worker who said he was going to check. A couple minutes later, one plate came out. Then 10 mins later, the other 2 plates. Few things to note: --They bring out plates separately when ready rather than waiting for the entire order to be ready. --Tacos don't come with chips. (Weird!!) However, other menu items include chips (burritos and stack wraps). --Side of guac doesn't come with chips. On a positive note, the Caribbean tacos were delicious!!

    Not sure if it's because they just opened but they didn't have a lot of food items ready to order off their menu. No shrimp or fish tacos. No fountain drinks. No crunch wrap. The inside looks pretty cool. You're able to order by a kiosk only. There was a nice gentleman passing out menus to guests in line so they could look in advance. The text message function was also not working properly. We received a text that our order was ready but then it wasn't. The food portion was actually decent though. We ordered the burrito and nachos. The nachos were just a little cold when we got them but overall the food was pretty good.

    Birria Ramen

    First time visiting the Lake Nona location and everything we tried was a 10/10!! Ordering was seamless and we took the food to go. Everything was packed well and cautiously to minimize any spillage. Portion size was plentiful and the flavor of everything we ordered was great! By far though, the Steak Rice Bowl and Birria Ramen stole the show.

    Trio Plate - Caribbean, Birria, and Shrimp Taco
    Cheryl T.

    This place has great food. I ordered the Trio Appetizer along with the Trio Plate which had your choice of three tacos. The folks working at this Lake Nona/Narcosse location were great and attentive. They hustled to ensure we had what we needed. Customer service is important to us and they deserve thumbs up. Nick came out and greeted us and told us a bit about the place. The tacos we ate, Caribbean, Birria, and Shrimp, were soooo tasty. The guacamole and pico de gallo were fresh. The cheese dip was very good. Just an all around great dining experience. I look forward to eating there the next time we are in the area.

    Birria Grilled Cheese
    Fabu L.

    Let me begin by saying I'm not really a taco person so deciding to come here was a big stretch for me. I was indeed pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed the experience from the food to the service. The self ordering kiosk was seamless, wait service was friendly and welcoming, decor and ambiance were typical fast foodish taco eatery with plenty of seating. The food and beverages were quickly delivered to our table. The portions were humongous and could easily feed 2-3 people. Everyone was more than satisfied with the food quality and flavor. The Mac and cheese was a different type of combination and a hearty serving. They Loved the birria grilled cheese with the crispy bread and gooey cheese and like giant helping of birria. . The French fries were a crispy hit!! Loved the loaded nachos...unfortunately the nachos got soggy rather quickly but the salsa guacamole combination was especially delectable. The platanos Maduro was a favorite and we had to order an additional a to go. The street corn was also the right combination of sweet and sour and a hearty portion for a 'side'. Definitely felt satisfied and will return. Great for a family outing because there was something for everyone's palate and large enough portions for kids to share. My only complaint is that everything was very salty. I'm always on the lookout for salt because of my hypertension. While it tasted great, I could not finish my birria grilled cheese because it was very salty...my companion ate it and loved it. It was filled to the brim with birria and wonderfully gooey cheese! We have enough leftovers for dinner so the food fest will continue! Yes, we will definitely return!

    Those tacos were freaking amazing!!!! We got the trio, which i love they have that options so we could try and know what we like best. Also ordered the mac n cheese which was good, nothing extraordinary and we ordered the bowl which we thought the crispy bowl made it worth the dish!! Dip the bowl into the taco sauce: YUMMMM!!!! A special shoutout to the person at the register, she was very helpful. My kids also dropped mac and cheese and we were about to clean it up and she nicely offered to do it herself, which we dont expect when it was our fault

    Visited the new location at the Loop in Kissimmee. Decoration is super cute and colorful. Staff is friendly. Went on a Saturday evening and it wasn't too busy. Food came fairly quick. It was all very flavorful. Now I did order the Quesabirria and it comes cut in 4 pieces. I ate the first 2 pieces and it was juicy and cheesy. When I got to the 3rd piece it was all cheese. I felt bad complaining about it thinking it was just a mistake. So I ate it but took the other piece home as I got full. Later on when I got home and ate the one piece that was left it was also just cheese. So essential the quesadilla was only half filled with meat and other was cheese. For the price point I hope it was only a mistake because to pay $15 for cheese and tortilla it is not worth it. I still enjoyed the one with the meat as it tasted great but disappointed only half of it had meat.

    Their Caribbean steak tacos are my ideal flavor combination. They are delicious and super fast. It's a perfect pickup or eat in option near the Orlando airport.

    Mango Lemonade
    Matthew S.

    Stopped by Talkin' Tacos in Lake Nona after a late night workout and immediately loved the energy of the place. The vibe is lively and modern, with neon lighting and colorful visuals that make it feel fun without being overwhelming. It's definitely the kind of spot that feels social and upbeat, especially at night. I ordered the Steak Al Pastor tacos, a Birria burrito, and a mango lemonade. The tacos were flavorful and satisfying, with the steak cooked well and packed with seasoning. The birria burrito was hearty and comforting -- rich, filling, and exactly what you'd want if you're hungry. The kiosks were also very user-friendly! The mango lemonade was a great pairing with the food -- refreshing, slightly sweet, and perfect to balance out the savory dishes. It's one of those drinks that's easy to finish before you realize the cup is empty. What really stood out was the atmosphere and setup. The cool lighting, bold decor, and clean space make it a fun place to hang out with friends. The menu is also pretty big, which is nice because there's something for everyone whether you're craving tacos, burritos, or drinks. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and everything felt organized and efficient. Overall, Talkin' Tacos is a solid choice in Lake Nona if you're looking for good food, a fun environment, and a menu with plenty of options. I'd definitely come back to try more items.

    My first time at Talkin tacos, at their newest location in Lake Nona and I will be coming here a lot! It's a casual and fun place with a cool street food feel. I had the steak burrito and it was huge, flavorful, and loaded with meat. Also really enjoyed their homemade sauces, my favorite was the habanero. My wife had the birria quesadilla and it was juicy and perfect size. The consome was perfect for dipping.Only thing I think they should add more ordering kiosks because they only have 2 and took a little while to order since it was busy.

    They call it the bean tacos because each taco only has about 1 bean on it. Plus a mountain of cilantro. It wasn't very good.
    Scott S.

    I picked up food for my office. It wasn't very good. I'm giving it 2 stars vs 1 because they are still new. But I was grossed out when I used the bathroom and saw that they water down their soap. I wonder what other things they are cutting corners with. I got the bean taco. It had almost no beans on it. It did have a mountain of cilantro which was way too much. I also got guacamole. It was very liquidy and loaded with onions and tomatoes. The chips were very bad. The bag they came in was soaked with grease and the chips were all chewy. My coworker got the birria grilled cheese and said it barely had any cheese. My other coworker got the quesabirra and said it was very greasy with a weird pile of onions on top. Just like raw onions sprinkled on top. Hopefully this place gets better once they iron out the kinks.

    Caribbean Carne Tacos
    Althea S.

    I'm giving this place three stars, instead of five, because there was a huge lack of human interaction. You order from a kiosk, and you don't see anyone until your food is coming out. We ordered Jalapeño Taki Queso, Street Corn in a Cup, and Caribbean Carne Tacos. My advice skip the queso and street corn. I HIGHLY recommend the Caribbean Carne Tacos. So good. If I came back, that's what I'd order. I was looking at reviews of this place to see what I should order, and I came across a review that said the bathroom was terrible because they watered down the soap. After reading that, I was scared to go in to wash my hands, but to my surprise, the bathroom was clean and the soap was not watered down. If you like a chill, no one bother you, very little human interaction kind of restaurant, this place is for you.

    I truly enjoyed eating here with my son and soaking in the lively atmosphere. The place was full of happy faces enjoying their meals. I ordered the Birria tacos and they were flavorful with a generous serving of meat, though the tortilla had a little too much flour for my taste. The chips and dip were fresh and tasty, but the real star for me was the drink. It was so delicious I could not resist going back for seconds.

These taco may be small, but they are packed with protein. They have very simple ingredients - corn tortillas (doubled up), a single protein, diced onions, fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and their salsa verde on the side. This time I got the carne asada, chorizo, and al pastor tacos. 3 tacos absolutely fills me up. The chorizo and al pastor tacos (both pork) were amazing. I was not impressed by the carne asada during my last visit. It was very dry and lacked seasoning. The other two hit the spot though and I'll still keep coming back for more.

It is basically just canned drinks or custom flavored lemonade drinks, which typically cost around $5 each. Also, make sure to bring your wallet as their food in general is $$$ for fast casual. However, the higher quality makes it worth it to me.

Mexas has quickly become one of my go-to places to eat when I am in the Orlando area- both locations, although I think I love this express location best. I've now shared it with many of my favorite people (my son, my best friend, my boyfriend) on our trips together and everyone has been blown away. The birria is fantastic, full stop. My first time, I came for street tacos.... But as soon as I tried the birria it was over for me. I haven't wanted to order anything else since. The birria quesadilla is absolutely massive and meant to be shared with at least one other person. It's a counter service spot, and they tend to be busy if you come during peak times- but food service is always fast, and every time I've had a question, they have been super friendly and patient with answers. The margaritas are strong, but decent- they are clearly premixed so nothing outstanding, but still tasty and they do the job. The guacamole is also phenomenal. Do yourself a favor and give this local spot a try!

It's located in downtown, so parking will be either in a meter or a garage. This restaurant serves pretty good tacos at a reasonable price, but the atmosphere was a bit bland for a taqueria. It was also small and can get crowded and full easily. Best to have this to go or delivered. It's still a nice restaurant for tacos in downtown.
