Eating as we speak and had to stop what I was doing to leave these 5 stars. What an exceptional experience! The chef here was taking care of us at the counter and is so helpful and wonderful! I have celiacs disease and she was amazing in making me feel safe and welcomed(very rare for me). It’s also her birthday! Happy birthday if you are reading this. You made such a lovely special lunch for us! Coming back soon and bringing friends !Oh yah the food is absurdly good! Wow !

Worst al pastor tacos I've ever had. Tasted like cardboard. The meat was so dry and had no flavor, served with only one tortilla so they just totally fell apart. I was stoked at first to see it served with pineapple but the fruit was also terrible. Cost did not match the experience or the quality of the food. I'm visiting from out of town so I have no idea what a better option is but I've truly never had a taco I hated until today. I just threw them out and left.

We stopped in for a taco. It was very good.....fresh tortilla, nicely cooked pork, and good guac. I understand the owner and some of the staff have trained in Mexico and it shows.

They didn’t have street corn which I was looking forward to. They didn’t have margaritas. The floor is dirty and the cooler was lacking in drink selection. The tacos were pretty good! The chips seemed store bought and the salsa also seemed store bought (or it was that quality).I had heard good things about this restaurant, but it feels like there is little care given to the details. You can see the dirty floors in the pictures.

MX Taco is a great spot for Mexican. The Carnitas tacos are the best I have had. They only have corn tortilla but they keep their form well. The Birria tacos were also good - I had the beef. The sauce it comes with is not as good as other Birria I have had. The rice and beans were very flavorful. I would skip the street corn, it has a bit of an odd taste. It was good mixed with the rice and beans though. Overall a nice place to get a few tacos.

Went on a Sunday at 2pm, the guy who assisted (brown hair blue eyes) took some time to come form the back. Not big deal. He didn’t greeted us, just stayed by the cash drawer and we started to order. He said he could take our food next door. TWENTY FIVE minutes later y husband goes to check on the food. Buddy was hanging out with friends and our food bagged, getting cold on the counter. Will never be back will not recommend this place. Tacos were fine but not worth the bad experience.

Great tacos! This was my first time here and I had the beef & chorizo tacos and a pulled pork taco. They were all amazing and I will definitely be back.

Great tacos. Lots of options to accommodate dairy allergies, vegan options are available as well. Tried a sweet potato taco here that was SO GOOD. Food is always fast and fresh. Custom service is great and friendly. Outdoor and indoor seating available without any difficulties finding parking. Decent prices. Their hot sauce is delicious too. No notes.

The service was quick and pleasant. The man working the counter is the main reason I’m so dazzled by this place, he took his time to help me find something vegetarian and that would FILL ME UP, still like to eat!… I’m here now and watched him so kindly go to his colleague who was in the back preparing the food, and see if he wanted to leave first, and he’d stay and wait for the next shift to come in. It was only minutes, but just seemed very thoughtful. Was kinda cool to witness. Seems small, but really impressed me. Totally recommend!

This was my first time here and the overall experience was tainted by the lack of attention by the team member at the register. Upon arriving, I assumed I was being talked to but the team member was talking on their phone wirelessly. This continued the entire the time. The team member also had their a soda, water, and cell phone charging on the table next to the trash can, which they continue to drink and use. This was the table I wanted to sit at and do a little work at the end of the day. My frustration only grew when I could see the back of kitchen team member handling food without gloves and the register team member sagging their paints to the point I could see their underwear. I'm not unreasonable but the combination of these things aren't exactly enticing me to return when there are other taco joints bear by.
I was excited about this place but this is my first and last time going. I ordered the carnita and mole chicken tacos. Both tortillas were burnt and while I'm used to eating authentic mole, they were so bitter they weren't edible. The carnitas tasted okay but the meat was dry. My boyfriend got the birria tacos and both of us thought it was just okay. It came with rice and beans and for some weird reason the beans tasted heavily of pizza sauce which is not what I expected to taste. I also had the agua fresca and that was okay. For the price tag and the mediocre taste, I'm going to stick to Cilantros.

I've been going to MX for years now. The last few times I've gone have been extremely disappointing. The taco was completely soaked where you couldn't pick it up, the order was wrong on a few occasions, and one night the staff was just plain rude. If you get them on a good day the food can be great. I'll check back in a year to see if they recover from whatever is happening there.

Tacos were mediocre at best dry meat and a soggy tortilla but the worst part is the servers were ruuuuuude rudeee :( bummer… really wanted to like this place

I really cannot say that I enjoyed the food from MX Taco. I mean I guess it was just OK but it does not live up to the hype and the flavor profile are often muddled together. I've been to Mexico several times and it just does not compare not do it any justice. Definitely prefer Cilantro's down the road from them.

Some of the best food I’ve had in Orlando. MX Taco could be half as good as it is and still be on my list of best food. That pumpkin sauce they put on things is freaking amazing.
