MX Taco has permanently closed after serving the Orlando, Florida community for four years. It is sad to see a business close and I wish the best for the ownership and staff.It was not a big place by any means, but it had a pleasant enough ambiance. The menu was interesting and varied.I do wish all involved the best of luck and thank them for four years.

We had to stop in to MX one last time before they sadly closed their doors last week. MX Tacos has been my favorite taco spot in Orlando since they opened 4 years ago. They have the best staff and the best food. We love all of their pork tacos and my fave is their birria tacos. We also loved getting to go on their al pastor days. We're so sad to see them go and will definitely find them at any pop ups they do in the future!

I just had a meal before going there so I just got a maragrita. The lime maragrita is a little too sour for my taste. Everyone else got tacos and they look delicious. Packed with meat. I'll be back to try the food soon!

My friend and I were venturing for a quick meal near the milk district and originally were supposed to go to the milk house but, decided to try this hole in the wall taco place instead. I'm really glad we did!! The flavors were outstanding! I got a rice bowl and my friend got some tacos but my rice bowl was the bomb! Everything is fresh fresh fresh! We even tried some of their house sauces and those weee amazing. It was a cloudy day but we decided to sit outside as their interior is not that big. It was cute out there and plenty of space to sit. I am definitely going back and trying everything on their menu. I didn't see if they served alcohol but maybe they'll even start making house margaritas:)) They were very friendly as well and brought us our food outside and took our trays when we finished. I always appreciate friendly staff.

The food was super delicious. Made fresh to order. Service is fast especially during the day when it is not too busy. The cashier gives helpful suggestions to order. The ambience is super casual. Definitely street food vibes! We ate here before going out! Very affordable!

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.

Well went here for a quick lunch and what can I say how can you mess up tacos well I just found out you can it was like eating burned wood the flavor was off even the pineapple did not do this taste justice the guacamole and chips it was a paste with onions and cilantro's and bag chips you can do better at Taco Bell really sorry guys the honest true But in a bright side if the food taste like theirs customer service it will probably be a 3 to 4 star!!!

Let's change things up a bit. This is going to be a three stage review.I'm hereParking lot is a bit funky, but the front door is open with a few folks sitting outside, others inside, but it's the incredible aromas filtering out the door that automatically remind me why I'm here. Moving into the walk-up counter to order and I'm greeted with a warm and friendly smile. The menu is extensive, and diverse, with flavors and styles from all over Mexico. After spending three years on a Sonoran beach, my choice was the carne asada tacos. The FoodSpectacular. Great presentation yes, but it's the flavors that knock the socks off. Unreal actually. How do they capture the unique flavors of the great state of Sonora?FinalYou want to explore Mexico? Come to this place before you go. This is Orlando's best.
Dropped by MX taco after some drinking. I ordered birria tacos and a few other tacos to go for my son. Birria tacos were good. Came with rice and beans. The birria sauce was slightly salty this time though. My son enjoyed his tacos.

I love Tacos. Tacos are my life! This place is always Taco Fabulous. The Birria Tacos are incredible, the Cactus Tacos are delicious. I also love the quesadillas here as well. So Lets Do a Taco Happy Dance. I have consistently have had a good experience here. That's what makes this place great, they consistently provide good food and service. So if you are a taco lover like I am, than please add it to the lovely list of Mexican Food.

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.
