Ximena's Tacos , Mexican Food — Restaurant in Auburndale

I am not one to leave bad reviews so this is a hard thing for me to do. And This has been my favorite restaurant for almost 3 years now, so posting this saddens me. Today has by far been the Worst service I’ve ever experienced from any place, and my family and I for sure won’t be coming back here again; even as loyal customers. My mother, my sister, and I get there around noon today and the first lady to take our drink order got our drinks wrong and ended up getting us all the same thing because she “forgot”. Her boss said that they aren’t allowed to put lemon in my mothers water, even though not once in the past 2-3 years that we have been coming here, have they once said that which was ridiculous. Table was disgusting with hair on it and crumbs along with every other table. So eventually they bring chips and salsa to our table and they give us maybe 10 chips for 3 people and a bowl of salsa, along with the small (and I mean small) plate of guacamole that we ordered to go with it. We all ordered and they brought our food at 3 different points with 15 minute intervals between each meal. And they totally forgot about my mothers food. Eventually after getting my moms food it was ice cold. My sister had a long brown hair in her food and they refused to do anything to fix it because she didn’t notice it til her food was almost finished. They constantly change their portion sizes to get more money, and one lady who came to our table said the manager tends to do that when I complained that my food was extremely smaller than when I came and ordered the same thing 2 weeks ago. And the icing on top of the cake was: Not ONE person apologized for anything and the manager was very snarky and unapologetic at all when she came out to try to talk to us. We were honest and never raised our voices. But this whole experience was just utterly disappointing and gross. …Just a quick warning to anyone who wants to come here: service has gone soooo downhill in the past year. They aren’t...

My husband and I found ourselves in the area this morning, craving tacos, and decided to stop by this wonderful gem.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the warm and friendly staff, who made us feel right at home. It’s a family-owned business, which we love to support, and the team was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the menu, offering thoughtful suggestions, and explaining what each dish included.

The homemade chips paired with a variety of fresh, flavorful salsas were a fantastic start. We also indulged in the cheese dip, which was absolutely perfect—just the right balance of spice and creamy goodness.

For my meal, I chose the traditional three-taco plate with a combination of chicken and steak. Both tacos were incredibly fresh and packed with flavor. The dish was accompanied by a side of rice and beans, which were truly delightful—seasoned to perfection.

My husband went for the flour tacos with steak and beef, and he couldn’t stop raving about how amazing his meal was. He even said the rice and beans were the best he’s ever had!

We’re so glad we discovered this place and will definitely be adding it to our regular rotation of...

We were in the mood for Mexican food and decided to stop in for an early lunch.

We were greeted upon arrival and invited to sit wherever we liked. We chose a booth and our server came by promptly, giving us menus and taking our drink order. Our drinks arrived quickly and were accompanied by a basket of tortillas and salsa. Great crunch on the chips and the salsa was tasty.

We had the taco dinner, which includes 3 traditional tacos along with rice & beans, and the regular al pastor chimichanga.

The tacos were street style with fresh, delicious double tortillas and filled with plenty of meat - al pastor, asada, and chorizo. The cilantro & onion were fresh and abundant. Everything was scrumptious. And the beans were the best I've had

The chimichanga was crisp and flavorful, topped with lettuce, tomato, and cotija cheese. We did see a few customers get the Giant Chimichanga; it was enormous.

We were one of two occupied tables when we arrived around 11:00 and it filled up quickly. If planning to go for lunch, it would probably be a good idea to...
