“drove to Tallahassee from Valdosta, GA, for a shopping trip, and a good friend recommended El Rey Tacos & Beer. I’m so glad I stopped by! This place instantly transported me back to Mexico. I had the best torta I’ve ever tasted, the bread was perfectly fresh and soft, and every bite was bursting with flavor. It’s hard to find something this authentic back home in Valdosta. I also tried their aguas frescas, and they were incredibly refreshing and flavorful. My 10-year-old daughter ordered tacos and surprised me by eating four! She said they were the best tacos she’s ever had.This place is absolutely worth the drive. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend for anyone craving true Mexican flavors!“

“La Tiendita is the real deal—quality, authentic Latin American cuisine for a great price with friendliness and hospitality. This was where my Spanish 2 class chose (unanimously) to go for their off-campus, graduation lunch, and ordered their food in Spanish, loved it all, and had so much fun. I fed the whole class and another educator (13 people—11 of them teenagers/ known for eating a lot, also a couple of vegetarians and gluten intolerant that found menu items they loved too) for around $270 (this amount includes a 20% tip). Dine in or take out, I highly recommend La Tiendita.“

“El Cocinero is a fantastic casual dining restaurant with great food, drinks, and atmosphere. The "El Cocinero Margarita" is one of the best I have ever had, and is consistently great. Their hot sauces are phenomenal, however they have been out of them the last 2-3 weeks which is a little disappointing. I get a rather simple order, however the corn tortillas and the seasoned meat are always outstanding.

I was disappointed with my most recent visit when there were no other tables inside (and only 1-2 outside). A bartender made the comment "If it was up to me, Mocktails would be $1 million dollars. I hate them. Take your sprite and shut up". I get that we all have things we find annoying, and it's one thing to vent in private or in the back-of-house. But venting at the bar, infront of a customer with friends/family that are pregnant and enjoy mocktails, is pure form and service. If it wasn't for this recent event, it would be 4 or 5 stars for service rather than 1“
