“We ordered birria tacos, birria quesadilla, a lengua taco, a barbacoa taco, a side of refried beans, and a bean rice and cheese burrito (for my kid). It was $40 and worth EVERY penny. We waited under 10 minutes. everything was hot and fresh. the lengua was tender and NOT chewy. 11/10!!!!“

Fresh tortillas, fresh tamales, beautifully cooked steak 🥩 and the quesabirria and consume was phenomenal. Finally it wasn’t greasy 😮‍💨!!!! Delicious and will 1000% be back. This is our new spot. Thank yall for a great date night for us 💜“

“This is my new favorite place! I love the inside, the staff are so nice and the food is really good. I have not eaten outside yet but they do offer that as well. You will not be disappointed.“

“The food is fantastic: best beef tacos in the area.

We did some street tacos — barbacoa (so on point), birria, grilled chicken (excellent), and carne asada.

Corn tortillas must be freshly made.

And service was wonderful. Roxana was great: friendly any attentive. Made sure everything went well.“

“Today is guacamole day so my wife and I ventured to this new food truck near our house. New to us cuz we’ve never tried it. I gave it a 5 star but it’s more like 4.5. We ordered the quesabierria, steak fries, and steak burrito. They were all delicious. The only small issue I had was their fries. Do you remember the type of fries you get at high school cafeteria? That’s the kind it reminded me but the steak on top was juicy and flavorful. We ordered takeout and the service was great cuz we asked a lot of question regarding their food. They have daily specials as well. It’s next to a gas station so you’re really not there for the atmosphere.“

“The food was very good and the people are very nice. The tables were clean and food came out fast. I will definitely come back.“

“I would definitely recommend stopping here if you are in Pensacola. The food was amazing and margaritas were great. The service was outstanding. Just wish we could have stayed for more than one margaritas and enjoyed the atmosphere a little longer. I accidentally left my credit and when I called the next morning they were super nice and had it safely tucked behind the bar in a register. I picked it up later that day. Just an all around great dining experience.“

“We had catering at work for 20 employees - Odette worked with me from start to finish and was amazing; so nice and helpful. I had never been to this Mexican restaurant before and am so happy I tried, as this will be my go to place! Thank you for making our celebration perfect! Absolutely delish!“

In the back they have a deli meat counter that also has your preseasoned meats for your Carne Asada’s/ cookouts“

“The food and service are both great here. One of my favorite taco trucks in town“

“Some of the best authentic Mexican street-style tacos I've ever had. They are quick, very affordable, and it's always super fresh – they grill everything on the spot when you order. I'm extremely lucky to work just up the road from these cocineras maravillosas.“

“Always good for a good price always recommended“

“This is my home away from home! As a recovered alcoholic I never thought I'd be comfortable hanging out in one of my favorite social settings, but at LA Cabaña I'm safe, at home, welcomed and not pressured to drink. I cannot begin to sing enough praises, the people, the food, the atmosphere all of it is awesome! ✌️🤟🍀“

“hands down the BEST spot in Pensacola for Mexican food! 5 outta 5 stars. we got the Birria Dipping Tacos and man o man they were DELICIOUS & FRESH! Let me also recommend the Pastel de Tres Leche cause it was oh so GOOD!!“

“The beeest birria tacos I’ve found around! I think about them on the daily“

“Amazing food, great prices. Will definitely go back.“

“Had a wonderful dining experience 3-12-26, our server was MIA she prepared our table side guac and what a treat then we had street tacos… if your looking for a wonderful waitress to make your evening special she your gal.“

“The chicken quesadilla and sauce with it was sooo good. chips (they make them, was better then anything I've had at a restaurant) and salsa. kids loved the hard and soft tacos. will visit again!“

“I have eaten at El Camino multiple times behind Perfect Plains. They used to have a lot more street tacos and they were very good and tasty every time.

There have been some menu changes that personally I’m not crazy about.
I ate the Wagyu Crunch wrap and it was really subpar. I would’ve preferred Taco Bell. The meat tasted burnt and dry.

The carnitas tacos with the corn tortilla were alright and the shrimp tacos were ok as well. The carnitas just had diced tomatoes and the meat, would’ve liked to have seen some onion or cilantro on the street taco to accompany it.

Anyway maybe it was just an off night for the truck!
It Used to be delicious and I would look forward to eating there , but I will have to try again next time.“

“Such amazing food and such a wonderful dining experience! Our server Presley was incredible! He did a fantastic job and made our experience here top notch!!“

“Very Delicious Taco And Very Friendly Staff And Quick service.“

“We love Juan's. The food is great and their tofo is probably the best in town! Amazing vegetarian options for my husband & I but the teenagers can get the meat they love. We enjoy eating on the patio and bringing our 2 Frenchies with us. The staff always give Duck & Goose all the attention when we are there. The new shade out front is great!“

“Good service and food, try it“

“It’s always so wonderful and the food is great!!! Honestly the best service all the time!! Most definitely come here, your time and money won’t be wasted!!!“

“Excellent food and service! Tortilla chips were freshly made and cooked perfectly! We will definitely be back - Shelly and Don provided a great dining experience!“

“Great food and service.“

“Great customer service. Delicious food“

“Got the Chicken Supreme Burrito & some Chicken Tacos. So much flavor!! And they're sauces too! Yum.
The service was excellent, I had questions and they helped me so much! Very friendly, outdoor seating and in, covered seating. I got it to-go, it was fast and efficient.“

“Fantastic meal…we had the Texas Bowl. It had steak, shrimp and chicken topped with guacamole. The service was fast. We loved it.“

“I had such an amazing experience I asked the young man helping me for his name. Jayden Garner did a spectacular job. This wasn’t my first time at this location and truthfully I never had that good of an experience until today. During previous visits, some of the employees weren't friendly or patient and half the experience at an establishment is the customer service but Jayden truly went above and beyond. Although he seemed a bit reserved, he was very kind and patient with me while I made my decisions for protein, toppings, ect. He deserves a raise but if that’s not possible he deserves some recognition for a job well done.“

“¡Muchos artículos para elegir y excelente servicio! 😊“

“Muy buena tienda. Mucha amavilidad del personal excelente trato y sobre todo los envios de dinero diferentes compañías“

“I will say that I have traveled Many times state side and abroad. Just happened to note the name Cactus Flower- California style.. I'm a native Texan and I know Mexican.. This beats anything I've had in Florida.. almost as good as Dallas.. I highly recommend this. Staff was busy with lunch and attentive.. service was swift, prompt and efficient. I highly recommend this fair for the wholesome food lover in you. My complements to the owners, chef, staff.. my bill was 14.02 I left a 20. Treat the server in your life well.. I'm a Mexican food addict.“

“I eat them every chance I get. lol. 👌🤣“

“My husband brought me here for the first time and it was amazing! The salsa has so much flavor and spice. The food was so flavorful. WOW! I am truly impressed. We will be back. If you haven't tried them you definitely should. It is located right by the beach too!“
