Best Orlando Mexican Restaurants

Orlando is a foodie paradise. It’s home to some of the best restaurants in the country, and there are so many different dining options that it can be hard to choose where to go. Orlando is typically considered a place where you go to visit Disney World or Universal Studios. But locals know there’s much more to this city than just theme parks and family-friendly attractions.

The Food Scene in Orlando is Underappreciated

The food scene in Orlando is underappreciated. It’s not as flashy as other big cities like New York or Los Angeles, but the quality of the food here far surpasses what you would expect from a city with such a tourist-oriented reputation.

This city has something for everyone, whether you want fine dining, BBQ, or a quick snack while waiting in line at one of the theme parks. There are enough restaurants here that it could take years before you try them all!

Mexican Restaurants in Orlando

Mexican restaurants in Orlando are delicious and fun. They are a great way to explore Mexican cuisine’s different tastes, flavors, and textures. You can find authentic Mexican restaurants in Orlando that offer a wide range of options. There is something for everyone at these fantastic eateries, from burritos to enchiladas, tacos to tamales.

Black Rooster Taqueria

1323 N Mills Ave., Orlando

Black Rooster Taqueria is a place to get great Mexican food in Orlando. It’s considered a “fast casual taqueria” with contemporary Mexican food in a colorful, vibrant environment.

If you’re in the mood for comfort food, you’ll appreciate bowls like Pozole Verde and Beef Achiote. Unique tacos selections include Chicken Tinga, Smoked Greens, and Black Rooster Asada. And, kale shows up a few times in the Kale Salad and Kale Caesar, if you’re looking for healthier options.

Agave Azul Cocina Mexicana – Kirkman

4750 S. Kirkman Road, Orlando

With four locations throughout Orlando, you’ve got convenient access to Agave Azul Cocina Mexican everywhere you go.

Agave Azul Cocina Kirkman serves dinner and Sunday brunch, along with a happy (or social) hour from 3 pm to 6 pm every weekday but Tuesday. That’s when you can get your Sandria on for just $6 and get your fill of discounted goodies like Taquitos Dorados and Sweet Oaxacan Plantains.

Dinner is in the $15 to $20 range, and some favorites include Chile Rellenos, Carnitas, and a Cali Rice Bowl that starts with Guajillo Citrus Chicken. We recommend the Birria Tacos plate with slow-braised brisket, plenty of toppings, dipping broth, and rice and beans.

Border Grill Fresh-Mex

5695-A Vineland Road, Orlando

Not to be confused with the Border Grill in Las Vegas by famed chefs Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger, Border Grill Fresh-Mex is a family-owned restaurant.

It’s one of those places that offers the expected, like tacos, fajitas, burritos, and enchiladas, but in quite a few varieties. For example, burritos come in Green, Chicago, Ranchero, and California versions, and they’re all super affordable and delicious!

The drinks are just as appealing. You’ll find five Aquas Frescas options, 10 Jarritos, and a variety of Cervezas that are perfect accompaniments to house specialties like Shrimp a la Diabla.

The Mexican Camel

5752 International Drive, Orlando

The Mexican Camel combines Mediterranean and Mexican into memorable fusion dishes.

You can come up with your own creation, but the Camel has some recommendations for you. For example, the Mixed Fusion Tostadas combine chicken barbacoa, Greek grilled chicken, and braised lamb with toppings like pico de gallo and pineapple. You’re not going to find that just anywhere!

The Mexican Camel is another affordable Mexican restaurant in Orlando with take-out and delivery options.

Bugambilias

747 West Lancaster Road, Orlando

Bugambilias is a casual Mexican restaurant in the vicinity of Universal Orlando – but you won’t pay the Universal prices!

It’s more of a traditional dining spot with the standards like Flautas, Tortas, Sopes, and Enchiladas. But we’ve chosen to highlight Bugambilias for its breakfast specialties. It’s not easy to find a good, hearty Mexican breakfast. But Bugambilias serves Huevos a La Mexicana, Chilaquiles, Huevos con Chorizo, and other satisfying options – ideal to start the day!
