50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Lake Buena Vista

“Here is my take on the place. If you like tequila and shots this place can be very good. However I think it’s a big overpriced and the margaritas are a bit weak for the price. I do want to comment they have a huge selection of different types of tequila which makes this place very unique.“

“Nice people. Warm, patient and welcoming.
Music was sweet. Food is excellent!
We had a warm service. Very very professional restaurant service with many human qualities.

Vegetarian options: You can choose your ingredients yourself. It's so easy to make a tasty meal for vegetarians.

Dietary restrictions: You can compose your meal according to your wishes and restrictions.

Parking: Many places. Not sure if they are free. We didn't take the car

Kid-friendliness: The music was nice and not shocking. The atmosphere is friendly. Meals can be adapted to children's tastes, for example you can make non spicy meals.“

“Wonderful dinner at La Hacienda. Service was excellent and food quality was great.“

“I love this place, I only go there in special occasions like birthdays, or family reunions, with nice view of the Maya Pyramid, and the three caballeros ride at Epcot, I recommend it 100%“

“Our experience was phenomenal. We had a large group of 11 and our service was fast, food was hot, and everything was fantastic. Our server Uriel was very friendly and charismatic and even danced for us. He made it a great experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Wonderful atmosphere; patio seating was lovely and dog friendly; wait staff is superb!“

“This place has great tasting tacos. And, on Tuesdays there are discounts on drinks and tacos! The guacamole is made at your table and you can have it customized to your taste. It is quite loud, so be prepared to have your outdoor voice prepared. :) It isn't really a family dining place, though I did see some families with young kids. It's more of an after work hangout or a good place for a date. The service here was very good.“

“Alejandro was amazing and so helpful and friendly ! The food is soooo good. We had the birra tacos, shrimp torta, and quesadillas and everything was delicious. Not to mention the street corn. The restaurant is clean and staff is so kind. We will certainly be back !“

“I love this place, however I had an experience on 5/1 that I wasn’t thrilled with and it’s very difficult to find a way to contact to give feedback so I had to resort to a FB review. My mom and I visited on 5/1. Our server spilled most of a Champagne Papi onto my lap. I totally understand mistakes happen, however, not once did anyone ask me if I needed anything. The server (I have the name but don’t want to blast all over FB) never asked me if I was Ok, she just simply said she’d be right back with another one, but it was all of the floor, my shorts, my shirt and splashed my mom across the table. I thought maybe she’d be right back with napkin or towel but she didn’t, so I went to the bathroom to try to clean up, but so surprised that no one ever followed up with me. I’m not sure if maybe she was so embarrassed that she didn’t want to tell anyone, or what happened, but I sat in wet shorts the entire time. Thankfully, the pink dye came out of everything, but still am surprised no one ever checked in. Maybe this is standard for you guys, but I wanted to share in case this is not normal.“

“★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A Fiesta You Don't Want to Miss! From the moment we stepped into Kavas Tacos + Tequila, the vibrant energy hit us like a conga line—electric, warm, and immediately contagious. The décor brilliantly blends modern touches with Mexican flair, creating a festive vibe that feels both stylish and inviting. Despite the word "Tequila" in the name, there was absolutely no pressure to drink—just a welcoming atmosphere where everyone can feel at ease, whether you're sipping a cocktail or simply soaking in the fun. The menu is a flavor-packed parade of Tex‑Mex delights—think fresh guacamole, queso fundido, esquites, and tacos with bold, playful twists. Every dish felt carefully crafted, bursting with authentic zest and personality. What truly made the night unforgettable was the live entertainment. Unlike your average stage show, the band roamed the dining area, weaving from table to table with joyous energy, transforming each dish into a part of a celebration. They weren’t just performing—they were inviting you into the moment. You felt like an honored guest in a moving melody of laughter and song. This wasn’t just dinner—it was a memory in the making. If you're in Orlando and craving phenomenal Mexican food paired with a lively, hands-on musical experience (without the pressure to sip), Kavas Tacos + Tequila delivers all around.“

“Came here late night expecting mediocre service. The staff was super helpful and friendly and the food was good. I absolutely would recommend.“

“Yuuu ummm! One of our faves when we're travelling to the parks. The pozole is the real deal, the botana sampler is a perfect light-ish meal for me. My husband likes the mix n match street tacos. Great 'rita menu & always get the churros to go! 😉“

“We have been coming to Chuy’s for more than 10 years and last night was mo different except we had the pleasure of meeting a server by the name of Warren. We brought our next door neighbor for their first time. Granted we came 30 min from closing (horrible guests right?), and with 3 little guests, you think we would be in and out by any typical server. NOPE! Warren treated us like they just opened, best personality ever, fantastic service, above and beyond through the entire experience. We can’t say enough great things about last night. We will go back again, but now we will have a server request each and every time!! We recommend this restaurant to anyone. Will there be a wait, most likely, is it worth it, yes!! Should you ask for Warren? Definitely!!! Tell them Jason sent you! Enjoy!! #chuysrocks #warrenisthebest #100%service“

“We always enjoy our meal from Bubbakoos! The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars, is because I ordered it to be picked up at 6:30, but I arrived early…6:15/6:20, and my takeout bag was already prepared and sitting on the shelf getting cold. By the time I got it home, it had to be reheated in the microwave. I would appreciate it if my food was prepared and bagged closer to the requested pickup time.“

“Great food and drinks! Friendly staff, and great weekday specials. I got the steak street tacos and they were fantastic! Elvera gave me great service at the bar, will definitely come back!“

“Called to reserve a table for a party of 10. They spoke very little English, good sign. Found out you can not make reservations. It was a Saturday night. We walk in and ask for the table. Said 7/10 of our party had to be there. We had six. So we sat waiting around. Finally we got a table with the rest. Were immediately brought free chips and salsa. Waitresses were very attentive and nice. I think they were a little over whelmed. The place was packed and there was only about 3-5 waitress. Keep in mind it’s a small restaurant. The manager was there and was super nice when we asked for a sample of auga frescas. There are no free refills on those, yet it looks like a little walk up bar. Limited parking“

“The best Authentic Mexican food. Good portions. Friendly service.“

“The food here was amazing. The horchata was one of the sweetest and best tasting I’ve had in years. The Birria was flavorful and the staff were incredibly accommodating. I’d highly recommend trying this place out if you’re in the area or just in the mood for Mexican food if you’re already here. Will definitely come back.“

“Great food, always freshly prepared, with great service! Nice bar with 3 big screens. Perfect place for lunch with the crew or just a quick bite for yourself. Easy in and out access with the new I-4 exit to Daryl Carter Parkway now open!“

“It was a wonderful experience, the food was marvelous, the service was top notch and although we had a minor issue with credit card processing Rob the manager was on top of everything and helped us all the way until the issue was resolved. If you want a great place to watch the park's fireworks, all at the same time, this is the place to be.“

“Dined in at Lime while waiting on a layover flight to Houston, TX.

“Authentic tacos, small but huge flavors. My favorite items are the carne asada and chicken tacos, I fill them in with toppings from the salad bar. The carne asada gorditas are sooo yummy, favorite item. The horchata drink. This isn't your local Taco Bell or fancy dining, it's a local hidden gem.“

“They do not serve tamales.

Before I devoured my macrons from David Ramirez Chocolates down the street and had a craving for a warm, savory tamal. I found El Tenampa on Yelp. Couple of reviews mentioned tamales, so in I went. Greeted by a nice hostess and seated immediately.

It is a big space, abundant seating, booths an tables. Enough that they can sit a big party with no problem. I was led to booth in the back. They noticed I was flushed, it was hot outside, they turned the fan towards me, to help. I was grateful.

I was served chips and a fresh salsa. I asked for a tamal and was crest fallen when was told they no longer serve tamales. That the market next door does have them. But I was already seated, hot and hungry, so I stayed. I ordered a carne asada taco and a pineapple agua fresca.

The food was good. The taco was good. The carne asada flavorful. The toppings of fresh, diced white onions, cilantro and the piquant green salsa. I love an agua fresca of any fruit, and this one was delicious and so refreshing.

The food, service and ambiance was good.“
