“We went to the Fiests Grande restaurant today (2-1-25). Somebody told the manager that my husband was stealing a cup that was on another table. My husband saw the cup and was showing me how cool it was (we are seniors and if my husband liked a cup that he saw he would have asked our server if the restaurant sold them, we do not have to steal. Nor were we dressed poorly.) So, the manager came over to us, and demanded to look in my husband's bag. I felt so bad for my husband! The look on his face! He was mortified! She did not find a cup, because my husband did not take anything. She embarrassed my husband and me in front of everyone. I approched the manager and told her she was out of line and she told me she had to protect her customers...well, my husband and I were also her customers, she didn't protect us from public humiliation! She also told me " I am Mexican, I know how it feels. I don't know what she meant by that. We will never visit that restaurant again, and probably won't go to Mt. Dora again either! Needless to say, our beautiful day was ruined.“

“Best Mexican restaurant around, hands down! I eat there at least 4 times a week. Love their breakfast burritos. And their grilled steak burritos are the best I’ve ever had. Had several other items from the menu. Everything was 10 plus! Ate there this morning. 😉👍“

“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!“

“Seriously the best taco truck in town! The al pastor is a game-changer—tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Everything tastes so fresh, and the portions are generous. The service is always fast and friendly, even when they're slammed. If you want authentic, high-quality tacos, this is the place to be! I stop here every chance I get. Highly recommend!“

“I love how the restaurant is decorated. The service and the food is always great. This is one of our favorite restaurants“

“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“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Everything about Salsita's is magic. Their customer service is top notch, and just as importantly, their food is fantastic. I usually get the carne asada street tacos with a side of rice and beans, and my partner loves the carnitas quesadilla. Their red salsa is spot on with what I grew up with in Southern California. The elote in a cup is not to be missed and is made with fresh corn. Get it 'spicy' to have it prepared with mayonnaise and Tajin!“

“They are always amazing 🤩!“

“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!!“

“Excellent staff, great service and fantastic food.“
