Avocado salad

Nice ambience for a strip mall restaurant. Plenty of vegetarian options. Came on a Sunday afternoon and didn't have to wait.

House margarita

Love this place! It's truly a hidden gem. The street tacos are my absolute go-to, and they never disappoint. Their chips and salsa are hands down the best I've had in the area--fresh, flavorful, and absolutely addictive. Right now, the festive holiday decorations make the atmosphere even more inviting and cozy. On top of the amazing food and ambiance, the staff are incredibly sweet and friendly, always making you feel welcome. I can't recommend this spot enough!

Shrimp ceviche my mouth is watering just remembering it lol

It's always so good here! Very clean and great service too! We usually get the shrimp ceviche, the corn, queso, birria tacos and I forget what else but it's all very good. My favorite Mexican place in the area for sure.

Tequila Veinteuno, 2311 FL HWY 524 Cocoa, FL., 32926 1 Star According to my random name generator, I was heading up the coast to a little place on the northern part of the county, Tequila Veinteuno, in Cocoa, FL. While I always approach Mexican restaurants with some trepidation, you never know if you are getting authentic Mexican or American-influenced Tex-Mex or southwest cuisine. Once inside, I noticed the ceiling. It was rather festive, so my first thought was, "Oh, great. They are going for the stereotypical "fiesta" atmosphere of our neighbors to the South. This had me leaning toward "fake" Mexican fare. Once seated, my waiter came over and introduced himself as Gavyn. Gavyn struck me as being about as sharp as a marble, and I'll leave it at that. I did manage to get in an order for some Pastor Carne Asado street tacos and some Barbacoa el Mexicano. If you look at the pictures I snapped of my meal, it certainly looks like appetizing food. However, while many in public office are accused of peculating from the general fund, I can say unequivocally that this place is stealing from every place that serves food when it attempts to pass itself off as a restaurant. Microwaved meat. Let that sink in a moment--microwaved meat. I wonder why anyone would microwave food in a restaurant, as several alternatives exist. Microwaving makes all flesh flaccid, mushy and gross, with a layer of unappetizing slime on the meat. The flavoring was spot on and while everything was executed fine, if the meat is microwaved, it overrides everything else. Oh, and are refried beans supposed to be slightly orange-tinted? Asking for a friend... The Big Boy says, "Microwaved meat is not my style and the food here is horrid because of it. It's not on the swill level. If push came to shove, you could eat it and keep it down, but it is an abhorrent insult to Mexican food.

Burrito 21
Rhett B.

I was in the area visiting my uncle and aunt and they both said their favorite Mexican restaurant was this one. They made an incredible recommendation. The salsa was the darkest color I've ever seen salsa before. The taste was mild but just seemed to have more depth to its flavor. It was a good in-between chunky and runny. I chose the Burrito 21 as my entree. This burrito was humongous! There were several meat choices which I like from a Mexican restaurant. I chose the carbitas. The carnitas was really seasoned well and pretty tender. I loved the burrito being chopped with queso and red burrito sauce. I don't like a lot of rice and beans in my burrito because some places they stuff as much rice and beans in a burrito and not much else. I asked the waitress to go light on the beans and they did exactly what I expected! Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! Keto lovers would love this place as well since there is a lot of choices that don't include rice, beans, tortullas, and if only you can resist chips with the salsa. This is not your run-of-the-mill Mexican and it deserves a 5.

27 oz Margaritas! Cotton candy & Keto Diva

Been here 3 times and ordered something different each time. Everything has been tasty and plentiful (even more so if you order the Molcajete which is HUGE for one person). The interior is vibrant and inviting. Simply put, this is not the crusty old Mexican restaurant that you're used to. The staff and owners are friendly and the food is quick to the table in our experience. They make some good margaritas and the Molcajete comes in two varieties. I've only had the meat one, not the seafood one. My only comment there is that I wish the cheese had been grated on top like others I've had, not a stick of cheese like mine had. When that cheese melts on the sides of the lava bowl? Delicious! Crispy and chewy cheese is the best! The birria tacos were perfect and not overly salty like some I've had in the past. Overall, we really like this place. We have about 3 Mexican restaurants we now have to rotate through after finding this place. It's a welcome addition with some good choices and atmosphere!

Stopped by after hearing alot about this new Mexican restaurant. I hear they have alot of special steak offerings here similar to what you would find at finer restaurants in Mexico. Like many restaurants today the stress of labor is obvious. Our server was friendly and attentive but she was overwhelmed by tables, so of course we tried to be understanding. I ordered a special, cant remember the name but it was beef, chicken, shrimp, peppers, onions topped with avocado and cheese served in a piping hot large mortar. A mango margaritas on the rocks to wash it down. To be honest, the margaritas was just ok, nothing special really. The entree came in a reasonable amount of time which was surprising for the level of visible staff. It was HOT and delicious and very reminiscent of an expertly made alternative to fajitas. It also cane with a tasty side if rice and beans. For dessert I ordered the flank. It also came out pretty quickly. To be honest, it more closely represented the dense very Carmel flavor flan I make at home. Impressive!

Street corn - don't think about it- just get it!

Came here mid week. Seated quickly and order taken quickly too. Chips n salsa came out quick. Only complaint was the chips were not salted and seemed stale. Not a deal breaker tho- the rest of the food was hot fresh and really good. We will return.

Chicken Chimichanga Lunch Special

I visited Tequila Veintiuno on Friday with 20 friends. It's not easy getting them to all agree on anything but everyone was happy with the food, beverages, prices and service. Carmen and staff did not disappoint on providing a smooth delivery with a smile to a large party of boisterous friends celebrating a long anticipated retirement. The Keto Diva Margarita was just right for me and I'm particular about Margaritas. A true Margarita only has 3 or 4 ingredients and the Keto Diva with Tequila, Cointreau, lime juice and a bit of agave nectar checked all the boxes. I know there are mixed reviews for this restaurant but our group couldn't have asked for a better experience. We will certainly be back to Tequila Veintiuno!

Just got lunch here with my family, We had a very kind server who explained the aspect of the…read morerestaurant and how all their food is made from scratch. I usually don't like heat by sitting outside but their closed off patio was very breathable and the perfect temperature due to the fans, it still did keep the nice outdoor atmosphere though. The food was excellent and was prepared and cooked by people who definitely enjoyed their craft and had knowledge on real Mexican cuisine. If I had to rate this out of 10, I would give it a 20. If you're in the area please try this place if you're craving great real Mexican food.

This place looked good, but ended up being just ok…read more The guacamole, chips, salsa and queso were really good. My enchiladas verdes were just ok. Cojita cheese isn't my favorite. My coke came to my table flat. I told the server about the soda being flat but she didn't seem to understand what I meant and she came back with another flat coke. I took that flat coke inside to the bar and they offered me a sprite. I said if your machine is out of CO2 then it isn't going to make a difference. She said they could just do a sprite so I accepted a flat sprite...lol. Do people not know what makes the fizz in their drinks? My fabric napkin was also damp, like it got washed and didn't dry all the way. When I asked for a new one, no one ever brought it so I stole one from another table. We ordered a dessert and it came out twice. My friend had an alcoholic drink which she said had too many flavors going on and tasted bad. Her next drink she liked. All the waitstaff seemed flustered. I bet this place could be good but it was not their night when my friends and I came.

Fantastic Mexican restaurant. I love hole-in-wall establishments and this one is a winner. Between…read morethe cultural ambiance, the impeccable service and the amazing food. It was perfect. Complimentary chips and salsa too which is becoming more rare by the day! This restaurant is in a small plaza with shared parking. There were plenty of available parking spots on the weeknight we visited.

We've tried this place a couple of times and it's been decently good each time. We have a friend…read morewho raves about this place, but hasn't made the same selections as we have, so maybe it's just about choices. I'll give you our short list of hits and misses. Mostly Hits *Magic Chicken was good - if you're a local, El Tucan served a slightly better/fresher version of this dish. Still very good and happy to know where to find it locally. *Birria Tacos were good. Less salty than some of the ones we've had on the island, but less flavorful than some too. Right down the middle. *Service makes both lists since we had 2 and they were polar opposites of one another for us on our last visit. Definite Misses *Salsa was meh. Asked for their spicy salsa next and it was also meh. Not horrible, just ok. Chips were firm and less salty than we like. *Margarita...was not a margarita. It was 90% sour mix and a maybe a splash of something. It wasn't on the menu. When asked, we got a weird non-committal response on it from the server and we pretty much got what we expected when a Mountain Dew looking drink arrived in a beer mug with a straw. Might've been a premixed margarita or one of those malt liquor ones (like the cheap Fireball ones). *Service was spotty. We'll probably go back at some point and try some friend recommendations when we do - fingers crossed. We weren't upset with anything we tried, but we weren't wowed either. Lots of local choices to consider....
