items From street-style tacos and handmade tortillas to sizzling fajitas and weekend birria, Kissimmee and Orlando have a deep, delicious Mexican food scene. These are my favorite taquerias and cantinas across Central Florida — the spots I go back to for t...
Map
A Vine Street staple since 2012 — fresh, from-scratch Tex-Mex that locals and tourists both love. Great margaritas, generous plates, and that famous queso dip.
El Tapatio Mexican Restaurant
A vibrant cantina on 192 with colorful murals and a festive vibe. Big menu of Mexican classics, strong margaritas, and a fun spot for groups after a park day.
El Tenampa Mexican Restaurant
Serving Central Florida since 1985 near Universal on Kirkman. Four decades of freshly-made classics — tacos, fajitas, enchiladas — and what many call Orlando's favorite queso dip.
El Potro Mexican Restaurant
Family-owned and no-frills — this is where I go for authentic street-style tacos on handmade tortillas with fresh salsa, onions, cilantro and lime. Cheap, fast, and the real deal.
Taqueria Casas 2
Another solid 192 option with a big menu and consistent, authentic plates. The tacos and enchiladas are reliable, service is friendly, and it's an easy stop near the resorts.
Poblanos Authentic Mexican Restaurant
A Mills 50 gem doing modern, chef-driven Mexican street food. The al pastor and carnitas tacos are outstanding, and it's my pick when I want quality over quantity in the city.
Black Rooster Taqueria
Casual Kissimmee taco joint with big flavor and fair prices. Street tacos, loaded burritos and a famous golden burrito — a reliable, quick Mexican fix on the go.
Tacos El Rancho
Upscale Mexico City-style dining downtown on Orange Ave, with an incredible mezcal and tequila list. This is my special-occasion pick — think refined moles, tableside guac, and craft cocktails.
Reyes Mezcaleria
Craft tacos, craft beer, and the wildest loaded taco combos in town — including the famous mac-attack. A fun, casual downtown spot when you want tacos with a creative twist.
Tin & Taco
A local late-night favorite for massive burritos and loaded nachos. Open late, portions are huge, and it hits the spot after a night out or a long park day.
Gringos Locos
Bright, modern cocina with a big patio and a great tequila selection. Solid fajitas, enchiladas and margaritas — a comfortable sit-down spot for a relaxed Mexican dinner.
Agave Azul
Come here for authentic Mexican tortas and true street tacos — al pastor, suadero, tamales and daily specials. Unpretentious, affordable, and packed with flavor.
Tortas El Rey
A lively spot on Sand Lake's Restaurant Row with tableside guacamole, a huge tequila list and a fun happy hour. Great for a festive night out with margaritas and shared plates.
Rocco's Tacos & Tequila Bar (Orlando)
The homegrown Central Florida chain that started right here in the area. Hot-sauce bar, big burritos and queso — a fun, affordable go-to for a fast Tex-Mex fix with the kids.
Tijuana Flats
A big, colorful Tex-Mex spot on I-Drive with a fun vibe and famous creamy jalapeno dip. Great for families and tourists wanting a hearty, crowd-pleasing Mexican meal near the parks.
Chuy's Tex-Mex (Orlando I-Drive)
