12 Best Taco Restaurants in Fort Myers

“Taqueria La Mexicana is always excellent! Their service, the food, and drinks are always great! Sometimes they even have music and it creates a great and authentic atmosphere! Love coming here for the al pastor tacos and fruit cups. My wife really enjoys the freshly made drinks!“

“This past Saturday, we went to an amazing bar in Downtown Fort Myers called Escondito. It’s this private, hidden bar tucked away behind freezer doors in the back of a little hole‑in‑the‑wall taco shop called Taco Works. You absolutely do not expect to find a fancy bar behind a taco place, but that surprise is part of the fun. We loved it. Jordan is our favorite bartender — he makes every drink with perfection. The whole staff is so nice and professional, the drinks are delicious, and for a short moment you really do feel like you’re part of an elite secret club. Leaving the bar, my husband wanted to try the tacos. Our plan was to order one each, but Joe who took our order had other plans. He was incredibly nice and oddly hilarious. Somehow our order went from two tacos to tacos, burritos, and nachos. While waiting, we talked with Joe about living here for two months and the places we were thinking of trying next. In the funniest way, with a completely serious tone, he shut down every idea we had and offered “better” locations. He suggested a BBQ spot and an Italian/sushi place he’s never been to personally but swears by. We were laughing the whole time, when our food was ready, we met “the Two Roberts,” the man who handed us our order was so sweet with the sweetest smile, you just wanted to give him a hug, They were working hard but still made time sure the customers were treated with politeness and a smile and everything they made was phenomenal the tacos, nachos, and burritos were all amazing, on the way home, my husband suddenly burst out laughing. Something Joe said earlier went over our heads at the time, and it hit him out of nowhere. Later that night, we looked up the BBQ place Joe recommended, and the BBQ place he told us "we had to try" is actually inside another Taco Works. That had us Howling. Almost two days later while I’m exhausted and trying to sleep, I hear my husband getting off the phone laughing again to the point I had to check and turns out the Italian/sushi place Joe “swears by” is also part of Taco Works. Now I’m wide awake laughing too. Since I cant sleep might as well tell our story. Joe absolutely got us, and he deserves this review. Thank you, Taco Works — we will be back!“

“Another great taco just can't beat them thank you!!!“

“walked in on a Sunday morning around 10a before heading to the airport and it was quiet. Service was quick, food was great. The nacho plate easily feeds 2-3 people. Steak and pastor tacos were a nice size with good flavor. But lunch rush came in shortly after, so come early. Seating fills up quick“

“The tacos are fire! Very flavorful and great prices.“

“I am a frequent customer here and for good reason. The staff are ALWAYS so incredibly kind, nice, and helpful. The front girls are always so welcoming and conversational and its lovely. The food is always delicious as well. This place might be one of my favorite places to dine at.“

“So freaking good!!! So much flavor and meat! Thank you!“

“Fun atmosphere!! Great for sitting and watching downtown life. Food was amazing!! I love watching them cook tortillas from scratch (kind of)😜. Staff is helpful, friendly and FAST!! We will be back!!“

“Oh my goodness. What a gem tucked away in San carlos! Sopas were the greatest thing we ordered. The guacamole was fresh and chunky! The burrito was huge! My tosadas were soggy by the time I got home but that didn't deter from how amazing they were. I can't wait to go back!

Vegetarian options: Sopa, cheese only and cheese and beansEvery menu item has an option to sub beans for meat!“

“Nice place, food is great, but the music is way too loud, is hard to keep a conversation without having to raise your voice. Music needs to be tuned down.“

“We absolutely love everything they offer. The barbacoa tacos, especially, are amazing! One note: the Carne Guisada tacos are really good, but very messy.“

“The Barbacoa fajita was delicious, everything was super fresh feeds 2 people easily. Another favorite of ours is the Birria tacos. DoorDash fast delivery Highly recommend we order often ⭐️“
