32 Best Mexican Restaurants near Sorrento

“Absolutely love this place! The food is always fresh, delicious, and perfectly seasoned. You can really taste the quality in every dish. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant is always clean and well organized.

One of the best parts is the small supermarket inside — they have fresh meat, vegetables, baked goods, and other authentic items that are hard to find elsewhere. Great food, great prices, and excellent customer service. Highly recommend!“

“We went for lunch for my besties birthday. Food and service were amazing. A bonus is this spot is the BEST food ever. I havent had authentic Mexican food in Orlando since I lived in Southern California 13 years ago. The only drawback was the lighting. It was way too bright. We almost wanted to put on our Sunglasses but didn't want to be rude to such kind staff members. Please consider dimming your lighting. It is a great place though, nicely remodeled and great accents and pretty dinnerware. We have ordered food over 25 times and it is always excellent!“

“It takes really outstanding products or service for me to give anything a perfect score, but this place certainly earned it. We've been pretty disappointed with the choice of Mexican restaurants around here lately. We go passed the food truck frequently so when our neighbors raved about the food we decided to give it a try. I wasn't familiar with some of the menu items so after a little searching, we decided to order the birria quesadilla, the chicken mulita & the steak & shrimp mulita. All of the food was really good but my husband loved the quesadilla & I think the chicken mulita is going to be my go to when I'm craving Mexican food. From now on Quesa Loco will be the place I think of when we want Mexican food.“

“Came in from Kentucky. Unfamiliar w/restaurant, so ordered an El Grand beef steak burrito with queso. That thing was not only great, it was two-meals big! Chips and salsa among the best appetizers ever! This is a terrific Mexican eatery, with awesome Mexican ambiance! Highly recommended!“

“They never disappoint!! Steak and shrimp never gets old!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing experience at La Perla Tapatia Mexican Restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every bite was spot on, from the perfectly seasoned dishes to the generous portions. A huge shout-out to Tony, our server, who truly made the night even better. He was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect without ever being overbearing. You can tell he genuinely cares about great service. Between the outstanding food and Tony’s excellent service, this place is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back — and asking for Tony again!“

“The food here is so good! They also have a bakery where they make Tres leche cakes and other yummy desserts. We have eaten here several times and have not Been disappointed yet. The cake we got for our son‘s 16th birthday was so delicious.“

“Came in for a birthday, 6 of us. The small things the waitress just could not get. Lime instead of lemon in water, same with guest that ordered coke with lime. We mentioned we had a birthday several times. They celebrated the table next to us, but not us. It was just ok.“

“I don’t hand out 5-star reviews easily when it comes to Mexican food because growing up around San Diego spoiled me with some of the best tacos in the world… but WOW. 🌮🔥

Tacos Don Pepes is officially one of the best hidden gems in Central Florida.

Yesterday I stopped in for the carne asada tacos and they instantly took me back to California. The meat was perfectly seasoned, juicy, flavorful, and cooked exactly the way authentic carne asada should be. The tortillas, salsa, and freshness of everything were absolutely incredible.

Then this morning I came BACK because I couldn’t stop thinking about the food and tried the chilaquiles… and OMG. Some of the best chilaquiles I’ve had in Florida. Authentic, comforting, homemade, and packed with flavor.

But what really made this place special was the people. The staff and family here are unbelievably friendly, welcoming, and genuine. You can feel the pride and love they put into every plate. They treated me like family from the moment I walked in, and that kind of personalized hospitality is rare these days.

Being from Jalisco, Mexico, you can truly taste the authenticity in their food. This isn’t watered-down Tex-Mex — this is real Mexican cooking made with heart.

If you’re searching for the best tacos in Orlando or the best tacos in Apopka, stop what you’re doing and make the drive to this place. It’s 100% worth it.

Hidden gem status: CONFIRMED. 🌮🇲🇽🔥

“I just came across this place on Saturday and I've already been back!!! the ice cream!!!!! and the drinks and the food and the chips and it just my new favorite place I'm looking forward to going back !!! and we had sweet little sever she was just very pleasant and knowledgeable about all the food“

“Good food, fun ambience…most of all, JAM (Jami) 😊 was our server and she was wonderful. She was kind, friendly and most professional. The beef and chicken flautas were slightly dry yet the salsa made a difference. We enjoyed the variety of salsas too. Gracias !!“

“If I had the time to write a 5 page essay about how good the taco with fried pork belly was, I would. Lina is COOKING at this place for real. One of the best tacos I've had in ages, had my ratatouille moment here on that first bite and got a glimpse of my childhood. Keep cooking!! 10/10“

“Once you stop by, it may become your go-to for Mexican street-style tacos as well. And if you've ever been to Mexico, this place will almost instantly transport you back to that experience. Humble, authentic, consistent. In the last decade, I've never had a single bad bite at this family-run operation. One of these times, I'm actually going to think to take a picture of the food instead of diving in like I've never been fed before.“

“Great service and way cheaper then most places. Portions are way better served then most places. Always full for a reason, Definitely recommend!“

“Friendly family owned restaurant in Umatilla serving delicious meals.“

“No complaints! Was a great lunch.“

“so good! decided to come here for the first time after moving near zellwood and noticed this mexican spot. Emma helped in the process of ordering and was extremely helpful and nice! We ended up getting flautas and tacos and they were so good!! we will definitely be back to try the other menu items!“

“This place has the best authentic Mexican food . We had the enchiladas with the rice and beans. Also had the tongue tacos and the Cabeza tacos. So good. The food was amazing. Definitely a taste of Mexico. It's a small place. Only 6 tables but also doubles as a meat market. The staff was super friendly. Did not have a long wait for our food. Maybe twelve minutes or so, considering all the people that were coming in for take out. This will be my go to place for Mexican food. Definitely a hidden gem.“

“Had our first experience yesterday. The fruit drinks are super tasty! The tacos, empanadas and sopes were delicious! The pastor was our favorite! Definitely planning to return! It is an outdoor place with one table and five chairs so plan accordingly. But the food was delicious!“

“Todo exquisito! 100% recomendado.“

“They are always amazing 🤩!“

“A true hole in the wall restaurant inside a Mexican store. Food was absolutely delicious ?. Nothing fancy or extravagant, just good old fashion Mexican comfort food. I had street tacos and they were delicious. Highly recommend this hole in the wall. Like I said Nothing fancy just good food.“

“great food and Atmosphere“

“Food was delish , it smelled great , nice and clean. Manager took our order and also brought out chips with guacamole, cheese and salsa. Service was Great!!“

“Josh took our suuuper long order with so much patience! He was very helpful in making suggestions and sharing different options to customize our order to our liking. What could have been a very stressful interaction ended up being pleasantly efficient, and enjoyable. Josh kept us laughing and we felt truly valued as customers. Thank you! We’ll be back with the whole family soon!“
