“Update: 4/2025: 2/3 years from original review... still an awesome Taco Bell - when we are camping, & we pass this area, we always come here for lunch! Across the side street is an area for super big rigs to park if space is available.

Food was HOT as it should be. Tasted great! Bathrooms nice... music in them kinda loud! 🙃
If you are driving something very large, which would be hard to turn around in a small parking lot, enter the restaurant using Bulldog Lane. It is entry only there. If you enter from N Central Ave., & can't turn your vehicle around to exit, you would have to use the do not enter lane to exit! 😊“

“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.“

“I eat here religiously. 2-3 times a week. Food is always fresh, and my personal experience extremely fast to come out of the kitchen. This is somewhere I’d recommend driving to if you’re wanting authenticity. 5 stars does not do this place justice. I give it 10 stars across the board.“

“Friendly service and an amazingly delicious Birria.“

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

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

“Been coming to Tacos Chiapas for years I love the chicken tacos and everyone that works there are so happy and always friendly fare prices great food xoxo“

“I was a regular patron of this restaurant under the previous ownership. It was my favorite place for Mexican cuisine in Lake Co. So when I discovered it was under new management I was thoroughly disappointed. That all changed this evening when I actually took my family in for an early dinner. It was around 5 p.m. and we had the entire place to ourselves. My wife and I had the three-enchilada dinner with beans and rice, and a side of guacamole. I tried one of each enchilada offered: chicken, beef, and cheese. They were all delicious! The guacamole, while not quite the same as the previous owner's, was also very good. Salsa and chips: delicious. My son had the quesadilla and was also unexpectedly impressed (at first he said nothing on the menu looked exciting enough for him. After eating he quickly changed his mind). In short, this will be my new go-to Mexican place in this area. Better Mexican food than anything else around here. Highly recommended!!!“

“Great margaritas and tacos. Jade was fantastic. Will ask for her next tome.“

“Excellent service. No wait time. Food was delicious. Drinks were amazing! We will definitely be back.“

“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.“

As a door dash driver its always great when my order is waiting on me like today - keep up the good work Sheri ! You’re making a difference in my day thank you very much !I’d like to give a shout out to Terrell I see him working all the time going above and beyond dealing with a lot of people that are rude and keeping his calm and dealing with people with kindness so I just wanted that to be known every time I come here and if I have any issue it doesn’t matter if there’s people screaming in the background, he deals with a very nice and calmly and I admire that as a DoorDash, it makes my job easier thank you Terrell God bless“

“this is the second time we've ordered chipotle later in the evening and gotten the b squad. I left a review on Google 2 months ago with pictures of how poorly our burritos were assembled. once again, we find ourselves in the same position. I don't recommend drive through, go inside and make sure they do it properly. I've even been inside placing and order and watched them tear another person's burrito apart - which happened to be an online order. they didn't even bother to try to grab a different wrap. horrible service. I have pictures.“

“I work by this location so been here a few times and the food is always on point but honestly a big reason I go here is the guy who I believe is the manager cause he always there i got later in the evening/night lol does a great job and actually gives you the impression he cares whether the food or saying what he says at the window he smiles, he seems happy to see you thats something you cant teach!! He's got charisma!
I appreciate him everytime!!“
