We're big fans of Tin & Taco, and it's our go to spot for a quick bite to eat when we're headed downtown for an event. Their tacos and bowls and walking tacos are all very flavorful. The counter service restaurant is quick, but everything is made to order with delicious ingredients. The downtown space is small, but they recently added some outdoor picnic tables, which are welcome addition. They also have a craft soda fountain, with free refills,, which we love. Highly recommend this taco staple!
Had a great late lunch at tin & taco in downtown Orlando after my son's orthopedic appointment. I had a taco flight with a couple of beers. My wife had the nachos and my son had a burrito. The food was very good! The service was even better. There was only one person working and she did a great job. The restaurant is walk-up order and they bring out the food. She was doing it all. We sat outside on a beautiful Autumn afternoon. Definitely a good place to eat if you are in downtown Orlando.
Came here after the Beacham for a late night snack. I got the brisket bomb and el pastor. The brisket was seasoned well and the sauce was delicious! The al pastor was good too but a bit too wet (probably from the pineapple juice). Both tacos came with melted, crispy cheese on a soft tortilla which made the taco even better. The staff was friendly as well and the venue was clean.
I hadn't been to Tin and Taco in a minute, and it was so nice to get some of their classic Parmesan-crusted tacos! I really miss the old College Park and Winter Park locations, but the downtown spot did the job. We ordered a variety of tacos, and I had two of my go-to choices: the tacosaurus and the Al pastor! I love all the protein options here, and this will remain one of my favorite craft taco spots. They all hit the mark with flavor! Our tacos were ready quickly and it wasn't too crowded early in the evening.
Out of the various taco spots in downtown orlando this one is best for quality of tacos and some craft beer options to choose from! Love the variety of tacos they offer and of course the hot sauces!
I stopped in here during a thunderstorm not really looking to try more than a bite. But the tacos were so good I can't wait to go back for more. I got the tacos with a parmesan crust which was a great touch. The brisket was a little better than the pork tacos. I also got the chips and salsa. The chips weren't that great, they were a bit stale. Overall I would definitely get the tacos again.
A solid place for lunch, and of course the late night bite. You can get what they offer in different ways - like a burrito. I ordered the Al Pastor in a burrito form and loved that they toasted it. The place is not too big and pretty chill.
Two bites into my taco experience, I bit into a long piece of hair... honestly, the flavor of the taco was fine, but the hair really ruined my experience and made it impossible for me to touch the second taco. Appreciated the fact that the staff replaced the taco, but I couldn't take more than one bite lol. Aware that mistakes happen, but hair in food can be extremely disturbing lol.
The burrito was decent, though not my favorite burrito ever. The service was pretty good, though a little slower than expected. The ambiance is nice and it's a pretty cute place. Good location for a place to eat before a concert at the Kia center!
We were at Camping World Stadium for BOA, and snuck out to grab lunch, rather than eat stadium food. By that point of the day, we were just ravenous and tacos sounded like the right call. In fact, we were lined up to go to a different taco place, but after parking the car, this is the first one we encountered, so in we went. While my husband used the restroom, the staff member took a moment to explain the menu. All items could be served as 2 or 3 tacos, burritos, nachos, salad, rice bowl or "in a bag." Most things could be mixed and matched, too. Even though the nachos sounded good, I opted for two tacos so I could try more things. The hubs ordered a Chick Magnet burrito, which was enormous. He said it was so good, and the cilantro garlic sauce was heaven. With is dietary restrictions, I'm glad he had a yummy option. I went for one Mac Attack (ground beef, craft beer mac and cheese, applewood bacon and green onion) and one Boom Boom (ground beef, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, boom sauce and potato sticks). Both were served on cheesy tortillas and both were phenomenal. They could have been served a little warmer, but it didn't ruin my enjoyment one bit. Even though they had plenty of craft beer, I went with the Stubborn Craft Soda instead: we had many more hours of outdoor time to go and I needed to be on my a-game. Big portions, yummy food, and very sweet staff. I would eat there any time.
It's okay. The tacos were decent, reasonably priced, but nothing special. They are in serious need of a deep cleaning. Dust everywhere, dirty tables. Staff was young and kind. I won't be back.
Delicious food! I had the 3 taco plate could only eat two. The tacos are more than enough!!!! Great customer service and the atmosphere is peaceful. I must visit again before I return home 5!

Tin & Taco is my go-to spot for a quick bite before heading to a concert at the Kia Center! The location couldn't be more convenient--it's within walking distance, making it the perfect place to grab food before the show. The tacos are packed with flavor and are much bigger than your typical street tacos. Two tacos are more than enough to fill me up every time. They also have a great selection of craft sodas, which is a fun alternative if you're not in the mood for something standard. The restaurant is always clean, and the staff is incredibly nice and efficient. Even when it's busy, they do a great job of keeping things moving without sacrificing quality or service. If you're going to an event at the Kia Center, do yourself a favor and stop by Tin & Taco first--you won't regret it! read more

Only ordered a craft soda to go with our pizza next door. Was there right at opening and was helped very quickly. A little odd for the soda lids to be on the wall attached to the bathroom doors, but we just didn't take one for that reason. read more

We ate here when we were in Orlando last year and couldn't stop thinking about our tacos so we came back and this time did not disappoint. The people are always so nice. I got the ahi tuna tacos again and the tuna was just as fresh as I remembered. Two tacos are the right amount of food. We ordered some ciders with our food. Overall this is a cool spot to check out for filling bite. read more

Food is always great here, along with the customer service! However, the vibe seemed a little off recently. Maybe it was the absence of music (inside) on a Friday night? It was more on the quiet side. Otherwise, my family and I enjoyed the food + soda choices! Warning: Parking is terrible! read more
I visited Tin & Taco a couple years ago while I was on vacation in Orlando, and to this day, I still consider these to be my absolute favorite tacos. While this might sound crazy, I still think about these tacos regularly. Next time I'm in the Orlando area, Tin & Taco will be my first stop! Each taco has its own wildly unique flavor. These are so much better than your average tacos! I visited in summer of 2021, so the restaurant was still following covid protocols. My tacos were served in a styrofoam container when I went, but they're usually served on the cutest little tray. The presentation of the tacos is totally photo-worthy! The inside of the restaurant is super cute and welcoming. I ate my tacos outside on a picnic bench, and both the interior and exterior of the restaurant were very nice. Service is fast and friendly! I will never stop raving about this place! read more

The tacos were pretty decent. They had some good taco combinations that could possibly suit everyone. Was not a huge fan of the pulled pork had no flavor and they came out a bit on the cold side. I think IMO that it's really good drunk food after a late night. The atmosphere wasn't the greatest. The wait was really long for 2 tacos. I don't think I would go back read more
I must say I really wanted to love this place. The taco options on the menu are pretty cool. I ordered El pastor and and the Notorious PIG. They were both great. The Notorious PIG had a welcomed kick to it. The shredded pork in each was tender, moist and well seasoned. The parmesean cheese on the tortilla shell is ingenious and gave it the texture it needed. The fountain drinks are awesome especially thr pineapple and acai selections. No added dyes and none of the crap that the bottled drinks put in them. My little one ordered Mac n' Cheese and at $5 I thought it would have been a full portion but it was a bit less than 1 cup portion. This is where I had the problem...there were 5 employees when I walked in. All of the employees were pleasant in my exchange with them as I ordered and even when I sat down and was given my food. With all the people standing around in a smaller, what appeared to be a mom and pop restaurant, you'd think they would be tidying up a bit. The floor was dirty and the tables were sticky and needed tending to. The decor and piping had caked on dust falling off of it. The soda machine and condiment areas were in disarray as well. It really made me think twice of my option to eat there but from what I could see the food serving area was kept in good condition. I came in on a Tuesday at about 4:30pm so I'm assuming I didn't just miss the lunch rush and there was only 1 other table with a couple at it so they weren't busy. I picked this place because of the amazing Yelp ratings and TACOS! Who doesn't absolutely love tacos? I'd love to try this place again because I can see the potential in it but I'll be a bit weary. read more
Would highly recommend this place for the best/quick/filling taco in the Downtown Orlando area. I tried it once and now I'm a big fan. - I would suggest going for tacos instead of bowls just cause you get to try more than one variety. For the bowls, you can opt for 1 type of flavor. For the tacos, you have a choice between 2 or 3 different varieties. - They have such a wide selection of tacos ranging from different types of meats to different toppings to different sauces inside. They are quite unique to other taco spots I've been to. - The tacos that they give are bigger and so much more filling than you would think. I got the 3 taco option and it was more than enough to satisfy me for lunch. - The taco itself is not just your typical corn/flour tortilla. It's parmesan crusted, so it's extra cheesy/crunchy/filling because of it. - They have house sodas or house beers/alcohol, so the flavors are quite unique to this place as well. Definitely worth a try. I personally got the Taco Bomb, Maui and Notorious P.I.G. All very unique. Taco Bomb is ground beef, Maui is chicken, P.I.G is pork as expected. If I had to choose, my least favorite would be Taco Bomb. I also got to try the ahi tuna, which was super filling & good. I think it's worth the extra few bucks for it if you like raw fish. I came in super hungry & left super fulll/satisfied. What more can I ask for... read more

Awesome place located downtown Orlando! Big menu of all different tacos, the staff is so friendly! I got two tacos, the chick magnet and taco bomb! Both were so delicious, topped with crunchy cheese. I also got a side of chips and queso. Everything was delicious, can't wait to return! read more
As an out of towner, I've only been here once, but wow, what a difference a crisped cheese tortilla can make. I was sent here by locals and asked an employee what the most popular tacos were, to which her answer was: Tacosaurus (for beef), Chick Magnet (for chicken), and Notorious P.I.G. (for pork), so I got all three (2 tacos/$8, 3 tacos/$11). The insides of the tacos were good in all three but all but the game changer was the tortilla, which had cheese crisped on the outside of the tacos. Each bite was cheesy and crisp, making the whole meal so good. This definitely sets this place apart from any taco place I've visited. read more
Must have gone on a bad afternoon. They were out of both queso and guacamole. Tried several different tacos (tacosaurus, boom boom, taco bomb, chicken bacon ranch, chick magnet) and each one was more sloppily constructed than the next. Not very good either because they seem to have skimped on ingredients. While I liked the cheese crusted tortillas they used on the tacos, it didn't make up for the lack of quality. You know how some places try to be so hip, they forget their first order of business should be the food? That's this place. I regretted not hitting up Gringos Locos instead. I won't be returning. read more

The expectation were high but the food was below average at best. Don't think it deserved anything more than 3 stars. read more

The best tacos I have ever had. I ordered the al pastor and the ahi tuna tacos. The flavors, the quality, the cost, and the quantity were exceptional. So, I had to give Tin & Taco five stars. My only complaints are that the tables were not wiped down, and the bathroom was a single (not very clean from what I was told). Not a big problem since everything else superseded such factors. I did not use the bathroom there and just walked back to use the one in my hotel. read more

I'm surprised by the high ratings for this place. The tacos are creative and were filled with toppings but overall lacking in flavor. Out if the 3 I ordered Tacosaurus, Chick magnet, Al pastor-- the al pastor was the best one. The chick magnet was mushy chicken in a tomato base sauce. It seemed to be more sauce than chicken. The Tacosaurus tasted bland. Water bottle was 2.50, thats pricey but they have water cups. The interior is rustic, service did not greet us and took a while to take our order. I will not be coming back read more
