“Javier was AMAZING. Best drinks, best service, amazing drinks, go see him at the bar!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“None Better, plus great Catering options!!“

“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%“

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

“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.“

“Excellent food, fast service“

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

“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.“

“We had a group of 27 and had a nearly flawless experience- and they certainly exceeded my expectations for a group that size. We were well tended to, the food was terrific (as were the cocktails), and we loved out spot for our group on the patio overlooking the lake. Thank you for the great experience!“

“We're here to visit. Stop in here. Absolutely fantastic. Fully recommend. Great food.“

“the food is authentic and top tier. best in Orlando“

“Los mejores tacos que eh comido. Excelente comida y muy buena atención. 100% recomendados. 👏🏽💪🏽🇲🇽“

“Absolutely amazing food and great service.“

“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“

“★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 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.“

“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! 😉“

“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!“

“Stopped in a little over a week ago for lunch with my wife while visiting family in the area for the holidays. Came in blind never hearing about Bubbakoo's and left very happy. The guys working there were super friendly and accommodating. They did a great job preparing the food and beer prices were lower than some bars in the area. The manager even set us up by the tvs, turned on a football game we were interested in, and brought out all the food once it was prepared.

On a side note we tried visiting a Bubbakoo's nearby back home and my wife agrees it was not nearly as good. Not to say anything bad, but rather how GOOD this location is!
Definitely worth stopping in, we will likely be back next time we are in town.“

“Have been here a few times and it never disappoints!!! The food is just delicious. The Molcajete is just amazing!!! And the Magaritas are to die for!!! the Staff are just brilliant! Taco Tuesday with $5Margs is excellent!! Highly recommend this place!!!“

“Dined in at Lime while waiting on a layover flight to Houston, TX. The staff were friendly and engaging especially Ms. Jordan who took the time to make recommendations on the menu and patiently took our customizations. I definitely recommend this restaurant especially for the fajitas, empanadas, and fresh squeezed lemonade. Will definitely come again when I am in the area.“

“Good service, good food, good chip prices and good drinks 🫶“

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

“I ordered the tamarind margarita and carne asada. The margarita was good. The steak was very thin and chewy, it was also under seasoned. For a thin cut of steak like that they should tenderize it. Chips, table salsa and queso dip were good.“

“El Tenampa is a local gem. The food is delicious, so fresh, and fairly priced- especially for the area. The atmosphere is classic Mexican restaurant. All staff was kind and welcoming. On a busy Friday night we were well attended to by our server and the busser to clear dishes. Highly recommend!“

“We had an amazing experience at The Taco Spot. We just happened to stumble across it while looking for a quick bite and we were not disappointed. The shrimp on the surf and turf was next level, and everything else we got was also delicious! We will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Our server, Diana M, was exceptionally efficient, friendly, and helped create a goood atmosphere all around. Our food and service was top notch. Thank you“

“Best place for eating nice customer service“

“Always Great place good food and drinks“

“The server was prompt - esp with refills on beverages and offering more chips and terrific salsa while waiting for the meal. Prices are terrific for the hefty portions. The Mexican rice has onions and is spiced and the beans are also spiced. Absolutely terrific!!! I had the flautas which I love and these were the best I’ve had. My husband ordered chile rellnos and to his shock and delight there was a chile NOT buried in a ton of soggy breading. It was stellar!!! This place is the real deal and I’m hoping and praying everyone goes there and they make it!!! It is GREAT!!!! Our new goto truly Mexican dining place!!!! Welcome to Winter Haven Margarita’s!! Long may you be around our corner!!!“

“This place was soooo good. The service. The music. The excellent trainer training the new hire. Came here for my girlfriend birthday and they have her a waterfall shot of tequila which she loved.“

“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!“

“I had the bowl with carnitas. The ingredients tasted fresh and it was delicious. The menu had a great variety. The staff was very friendly and I look forward to coming back. People might think to compare it to Chipotle, but it's more affordable and definitely better tasting.“

“The food was fabulous. Thank you Peter and Akman for an amazing meal!!!“

“First time here this is my favorite new place to eat now great portions.“

“Muy buena comida y buen servicio y recomiendo el chiwawa“

“I went to Agave Bandido and got a combo Fajita, I almost missed out on such an amazing deal but thanks to my fantastic server Jose I didn’t. The steak and shrimp is my new go to and I’ll definitely go again thanks to the amazing service and food.“

“I was very pleased with the service and food. amazing“

“I’ll admit—I’ve been gatekeeping this spot for a while! Only recently did I start sharing it with family and friends, and now it’s one of our favorites. These are hands-down the best authentic tacos in the area, and the prices can’t be beat.

As a South Texan, I am picky when it comes to Mexican food, and this place gets it right every single time. My regular order is the asada tacos with pineapple agua fresca and their elote—an unbeatable combo. I’ve also tried their gorditas, tortas, taquitos, and the rice and beans, and I’ve never once been disappointed. The fresh salsa and toppings bar is chef’s kiss.

Some people mention the tacos are small, but that’s because they’re authentic street taco size—double tortillas, packed full of flavorful meat, and absolutely delicious. Honestly, they’re a steal for the quality and portion.

The staff is always kind and welcoming, and I truly hope this place gets all the popularity it deserves. A true hidden gem that I’m finally happy to share!“

“great spot! love the atmosphere, pretty busy, took a while for my food, however my server Megan was extremely attentive & so kind and kept checking on me and to see if my food was up! Definitely will be requesting her again when i come back over to Orlando to visit!“

“A great place to grab food with friendly service. We have tried many of the dishes with no complaints about any of them.“

“The food and experience is amazing and Ruth is the greatest .“

“We showed up late—just minutes before closing—after a long day at Disney, and Isa and the team still welcomed my son and me with incredible kindness and attention. They went above and beyond to make sure we could sit down and eat, which we truly appreciated.

And the food? Amazing. The steak quesadillas were some of the best we’ve ever had—super flavorful, generous portions, and top quality.

Highly recommend Tacos Don Andrés for both the outstanding service and the delicious food. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Food and service were so good!!!“
