Excellent food, great service from Louisa, and a top shelf Margarita. All Louisa's recommendations were amazing! As a previous owner of a fine dining Mexican restaurant it's rare I leave a high review, but in this case it's warranted! If you are in Orlando and want to treat yourself to how a Mexican culinary experience should be then definitely treat yourself to this gem! Don't forget to add chorizo!
Good drink and generally the food, the tortillas and golden taquitos taste as if they were refrigerated for several days. Good attention
Super delicious, fast and very friendly staff !!! We get a great experience
Everything was super fresh!! Some authentic food as well!! Absolutely delicious with excellent service.
Such a good waiter great food. Was quick and not very busy. Had baseball football and soccer all at once!! :)
Everything has such good flavor! Have been here two times and have not been disappointed!
This was the worst Mexican food I've had. The tortillas were so dry and the chicken too. Cooking is necessary but over killing is not. There was also no flavor on the chicken.
This place rocks!! Best Mexican restaurant in Orlando!!! Hector was amazing!! Great customer service!! Great food!! amazing drinks!! It's 10/10
Despite no line when we walked in at 2pm on a Sunday, we waited to be greeted for an extended time. We then had to get up to ask for a server to stop by. Then had to get up to ask for silverware. We were not pleased with this experience.
To their credit, the food was great but we went to a restaurant to be served, not to work for the food.
Good drinks, good food! Kinda spendy but was really good!!
Visiting from Washington DC my entire family loved the food, service and atmosphere. We will definitely return every year on our Florida trip!! Shout out to our beautiful waitress Catalina!! She made the experience Ahhmazing
Mexican food. Typical, but good. They were able to accommodate a large group easily.
Had a great experience. Food came out fast and was so yummy.
The sevice was good.. staff was friendly and we got served quickly. I ordered the beef fajitas and the meat had a weird texture.
Had dinner here last night with my hubbie and we had a wonderful experience!! From the delicious food and margaritas to the attentive staff- we could not have asked for a better dInner date! Michael was our server and he was awesome! Definitely recommend
This place has the best Mexican food I ve ever eaten. Great service and reasonable prices as well. Definitely give them a try. Very happy we left the Disney property and found this place.
I didn't expect to find a place like this in Florida. And everything was delicious arguably way better than what you would find in Texas and a bit more authentic. I'm upset that it will be a while for me to come back and enjoy this place again.
No good service
Not authentic Mexican food
Great costumer service the food was delicious very clean if I could would give more than 5 stars ..
The food was good even though is a very small buffet. It felt cozy and it was authentic. Food was fresh because the containers are small.
Food is always excellent every time we go! Fajitas can't be beat. We go to this location 3 times/year whenever we are in town. And have gotten to know Carolina...our one & only server. We request her every time. Food comes quick. Service is amazing. We love this place! 5 stars!
Delicous food quick service clean good atmosphere very friendly staff
Very yummy, very authentic. Some plates' portions are big enough to share. Desserts looks beautiful. They also do a birthday dessert complete with singing and clapping! Very fun.
Surprisingly good buffet for Mexican food. Great service by Hector.
Excellent food, very good atmosphere and attention, I recommend it.
Favorite local spot for mex. Clean, well lit, staff is friendly, and the plates are huge!
This place is awful in terms of service and the food. The server we had, David could not remember what we ordered and had to be reminded every time on what the orders were. In addition my dad had ordered a vegetarian meal and they gave him one with meat and when being questioned directly to David he was cheeky to ask whether he still liked it. It is best to avoid this place.
We went there the 1st night we got in town, great service and food. The next night we had HECTOR, the waiter who performs a disappearing act for your entertainment. Then when HECTOR returns from his hiatus and you are finished eating he says "GOOD LUCK" and slaps your bill on the table.
Very nice place good buffet and great service. First time guest are taken around the buffet and explained the dishes.
I went there on 10/1/10, fri, for dinner with friends. Service is terrible & so is the food. After we were seated, the waiter said he would be back in 1 min. He was talking in the back with the other waiters & came back in 10 min. We ordered waters & 1 margarita...that took 15 min. When we finally got our chips (almost 30 min later), they were cold. The entrees were so-so & felt like they were sitting on the counter for some time. We ordered the fried ice cream, which is a scoop of ice cream covered with stale corn flakes! My friends paid with cash & waited outside. I was the last 1 at the table b/c I paid with a credit card...the waiter came to me & asked why my friends paid only a 10% tip, when the receipt recommended an 18% tip (we had a part of 4). I gave him an extra tip which is not deserved, but I was tired. I haven't told my friends about this. There weren't many ppl there, which is strange for a fri night in Orlando...now I know the reason why. Avoid this place at all costs! I went to this place based on google reviews...maybe we went on a bad day?
Decent place for Mexican, pleasant staff and decent drinks
Great lunch buffet, good queso. We don't go here often but it's a good treat.
When I arrived at the place it seemed to me a simple Mexican restaurant, but when I entered the place the attention of his staff made me feel like he was a king arriving at his palace, the customer service is excellent and the food tastes delicious; I also had the happiness of meeting Glenda who is the managers and she looked like one of the rest of the employees, they all work as a team making you feel like the king of the place ... Daniel was our server and gave us excellent options making us decide to choose enjoy the buffet which was surprising with all the variety of food from tacos to lunch with rice and meat; They also have a cook preparing real Mexican tacos (in case you like spicy) we drank margaritas and they were truly delicious ... in a nutshell I recommend you visit this place because the experience and the food will make you repeat ...
Went in today with fam from out of town around 8 was deserted our waitress was rude rushed us through the whole thing. Food was not appetizing at all no flavor and just salty spent $200 dollars on garbage & gratuity that wasn t deserved . Won t be going back very disappointed .
The restaurant was clean. Loved the food. They have a great vegetarian options. Everything that we ordered tasted great. Nachos and fajitas were delicious. Portions are huge. I felt like they should have given more tortias, it is not enough for all the food they bring (but it is more than enough to be full). Service was a little bit slow. I would go there again and again...
Excellent place, family atmosphere, delicious food. Wonderful attention from all the staff in that wonderful place.
Wonderful service and great staff, my daughter had a great 22 birthday party!!!
Great food, drinks and service. My family and I vacationed here recently. Some of us from Atlanta. The rest from St. Louis. We drove out of the way to come here (we were staying in Kissimmee). Luisa was great!!
We come to Orlando from Wisconsin at least 3 times a year. El Patron is always a must do while we are here. If you can, catch the buffet for lunch - it s amazing! Staff is very friendly and prices are affordable. You won t be disappointed...
As a tourist my family and I were craving Mexican food, unfortunately we were highly disappointed. The chips were stale, the waitress came to our table one time during our meal, no refills. Our meal came in 3 different plates instead of just one, beans taste like they came out of a can, rice was dry with no flavor. No tortillas were offered. When paying, my husband and I decided we were not going to leave a tip for the terrible service we got, as soon as the waitress saw her attitude changed. I would not recommend.
Excellent buffet and quality. Server was awesome! Thanks for a great lunch!
Well well, the waiter very friendly, everyone speaks Spanish, highly recommended
Mid range prices, really good food. Came to table quickly, and server was very helpful
Nicely decorated Mexican restaurant with classic menu offerings of tacos, enchiladas, fajitas etc. Queso and fajitas were great! Would definitely recommend for really good Mexican food in a nice atmosphere.
This was the most bland Mexican food I've ever had, and what little flavor it did have was bad.
This is a hidden gem, so close to the theme parks... the food is reasonably priced and VERY good, and the margarita flights are super affordable and also excellent. Our waiter was a very sweet gentleman too. I really had a great time. This may be the best Mexican place in this side of town, and that's coming from a Texan!
Food was good but very disappointed with the Cadillac margarita. Bought a pitcher for two people $39 and didn't even get a buzz. I usually feel something after one glass and had mine refilled 3 times, nothing. Rip off.
Was here three years ago and came back twice during our stay. Looked forward to it tonight but will not come back. Also changed chips to flat wafers which were not salty nor good.
The carnitas and pastor tacos we're delicious. Very moist meats and large portions.
Exquisite waitress & amazing food definitely worth the visit from out of state !!!
You got a lot of great options here. I would say it's better than your typical Tex-Mex fare. There's a lunch buffet with about a million options. And the price is right, you can really pack in a lot of food for a fair price.
Good mexican food. all you can eat buffet. nothing extravaganza but right on the point for a full lunch. around 12 usd per person on weekends.
Wow, what can I say? This place is awesome. A bit on the expensive side for Mexican food but definitely delicious.
Very good mexican fair. Friendly staff. Good portions.
Great service. Our waitress came to check on us multiple multiple times. A waitress cleaning the table beside us even asked if we needed assistance. It is pricey though. Very pricey. Not like the typical Mexican restaurants I see in north Georgia (where I live). The cheese quesadilla cheese is weird. Ask if you can have plain cheese dip cheese.
Some of the best Mexican I ever had. The buffet was amazing. Everything was fresh. The live taco station, one of most delicious tacos Ive ever had. I would come back to Orlando just to eat here.
Food was really good, the interior was very nice and our server, Carolina was phenomenal !!!
Lunch Specials are amazing! Great selection of Mexican Food and great atsmophere.
Great food with superb service. Soooooo fast it is amazing.
We enjoyed our first visit here...nice Mexican buffet
Excellent service. Delicious food. I love going to dinner or having a drink with my husband on Friday or Saturday nights. Super recommended !!
Very good food just need a little more attention from the waitresses is one every time asking for things and this is missing and this should be more aware of your customer or will be worth as they automatically charge their 18% tip I think They should attend better and even give them more tips
A real gem. The offerings are ample and flavorful, with careful thought to presentation! Though situated in the heart of the tourist corridor, it is now one of newest local favorites.
Real authentic Mexican food with great staff and wonderful environment for adults and children
