This place is seriously the best kept Mexican secret in Orlando.

I am a Texas transplant, so one of my first priorities upon moving to Orlando was to find authentic tacos. This little place is on the end of a small shady-looking strip mall, which is how I knew it would be good. I've been coming here for years now and still rave about it! I think Taqueria Ameca is one of Orlando's best kept secrets and I am a fervent evangelizer of this place to anyone who will listen. I always get tacos with adobada, ugh, SOO delicious!!

Let me clarify something: if you are looking for a fancy, non-authentic, and/or chain restaurant - this is not the place for you. It's hole-in-the-wall, cheap, authentic, and delicious Mexican food. It doesn't taste like Chuy's because it's legit and 50 times better.

Also - to address someone who said they've always waited a long time - I have literally been here probably 50+ times, and the only time they've been slow is when they're really busy, and that's to be expected. So I don't know what that person was talking about.

Last thing - a family owns the restaurant, which means you're supporting a local, small business, which is fantastic. If you're looking for Americanized Mexican food, go to Tijuana Flats down the street, but if you're looking for authentic, come here-- you won't be disappointed!
