We had the carpaccio and fried chicken. Both were outstanding! The carpaccio was on the small side but so delicious it was worth it. The chicken was crispy and large enough to share a few bites. The slaw that accompanied it was too spicy for either one of us but it really didn’t matter as the chicken was that good! Great service, too! Can’t wait to go back!!!

About the restaurant
Dellagio Town Centre is home to this family-run restaurant dedicated to the finest seafood. An experienced chef oversees dishes like grilled oysters, Bourbon Street shrimp, and a selection of expertly rolled sushi. Happy Hour is the time for taco fans to visit. There’s the choice of blackened chicken or blackened fish tacos, both served with Pico de Gallo, salad and a touch of ranch. Take a look through the beer menu too- there’s plenty with $1 off during Happy Hour.

Excellent food. We tried the scallops with side of asparagus wonderful! My nephew had the Grouper- phenomenal. Daughter tried the lobster ravioli- outstanding. Cocktails were great too. FYI Most entrees over $40, the grouper $56. Casual attire. Andre’, the waiter was excellent! Thank you. Valet parking is extra nice. Highly recommend!

About the restaurant
Sand Lake locals know that Eddie V’s is the place to go when premium seafood and maybe a spot of live jazz is on the menu. Guests can start in the V lounge, with music, oysters, and a huge range of expertly poured drinks. Then sit down in the vibrant dining room, awash with aquatic art and sculptures. The Maine lobster tacos are an Eddie V’s specialty all over America, and they're a real hit in Orlando. The grilled sweetcorn pico completes this luxurious taco- the perfect way to start any night at Eddie V’s.

About the restaurant
It’s an easy misconception that all golf course restaurants are posh or stuffy. The Tap Room on Dubsdread golf course is happily breaking that stereotype. The friendly dining area is smart yet relaxed, and it’s still a great spot for people watching as this is a favorite haunt of many local celebrities. The Tap Room’s fish tacos are possibly some of the best tacos in Orlando. There’s a diner’s choice of corn or flour tortillas, plus the sides of yellow rice and the house black beans complete the meal perfectly.

About the restaurant
El Patron is one of very few Orlando eateries to offer Artisan tacos. These are some of the best tacos in Orlando, with up to 13 different fillings that range from the authentic to the unexpected. Grilled chicken with Pico de Gallo feels pretty traditional, but then there are choices like blue shell crab in beer batter, or chorizo with white potato. Can’t decide? Mix and match for the perfect taco plate.

About the restaurant
The Omni Orlando Resort at Champion’s Gate is full of luxurious spots to wind down or fill up. David’s Club ticks both of those boxes. The restaurant enjoys awesome views across the resort, and the enormous video wall keeps sports fans happy, too. The menu is a feast of American classics, from burgers in brioche to signature steaks. The tacos are on the appetizer menu, and are the perfect way to start any meal. Choose from steak, chicken or fish, all served with a lime chili slaw and the unusual addition of smoked tomato. It’s the attention to detail that makes the difference here.

About the restaurant
Orlando locals don’t just go to the mall to shop. The Mall at Millenia is home to one of the city’s favorite spots for elevated comfort food: Earl’s Kitchen and Bar. Earl’s has a tradition of delivering great drinks and better food, and that includes some of the best tacos in Orlando. The Blackened swordfish tacos come with melting cheddar, creamed, roasted jalapenos and Pico de Gallo. It’s well worth substituting the normal fries for the house truffle fries for an even more luxurious experience.

Loved this place. I’m vegan and they had at least four options and a starter that I could have. I had the citrus noodles with tofu. Delicious. Staff was friendly and helpful. Cocktail well made.

About the restaurant
Small plates and a buzzing atmosphere are at the core of this Lake Nona favorite. Locals know that Orlando is full of amazing fish tacos. Chroma serves not just one, but two of the best in town. The pan-seared white fish tacos have the tongue-tingling combo of onion and cilantro. The tempura fish tacos dress haddock in a light, crispy batter and serve it up in tortillas with slaw and chipotle aioli. A great showcase of Florida seafood.

About the restaurant
Just north of Lake Nona, this social and charismatic restaurant combines old-school service and ambiance with a modern and vibrant menu. Guests can watch the game with a beer or tuck into dishes like three-meat meatballs or seared tuna salad. Nona proudly serves two types of street tacos. The San Francisco Mission District tacos combine lettuce, sour cream and a choice of shrimp, fish, chicken or steak. The Baja-style switches out mango Pico de Gallo for chipotle mayo and avocado. Tons of flavor, either way.

About the restaurant
Visitors to Disney Springs have a range of dining options on offer, but few are as vibrant and exciting as Jaleo by José Andrés. Spanish flavors combine with local produce to create dishes like steak with piquillo peppers or chilled Gazpacho soup. Jose’s Taco is a real luxury dish with some sensational Spanish flair. Ibérico de bellota combines with just the right amount of caviar for something truly special. Booking recommended.

Florida fish and seafood is some of the best in the world. Reel Fish takes full advantage of this to deliver a coastal dining experience packed with ocean-inspired classics. The dinner menu is full of classics like grilled salmon and a warming house chowder, plus some of the best tacos in Orlando. These Baja-style tacos come with either cod, shrimp or chicken, with tropical salsa and a spicy mayo. A real experience.

Right on the edge of Little Sand Lake, Rocco’s delivers a taste of the real Mexico. They serve hundreds of varieties of tequila for late night partying, plus a range of popular street tacos. Each order is three tortillas filled with exciting choices like the Brooklyn (pork belly and salsa brava) or California fish. Swap the shells out for lettuce leaves for a lighter option. Order the guacamole and watch the team prepare it at the tableside. A real interactive experience.

These fish tacos have the tropical flavor of pineapple, plus creamy avocado and the zing of Pico de Gallo.

About the restaurant
A Disney Springs favorite for anyone in love with Mexican flavors. This celebrity-chef run joint offers a menu with something for everyone. This includes some of the best tacos in Orlando: Soft, warm tortillas filled with carne asada and poblano rajas, or grilled chipotle chicken and refried beans. There’s even a mouth-watering vegan option of roasted cauliflower with Mexican calabacitas. Anyone who books here must try the tequila flights for the complete experience.

Great experience again! This was our second time dining here. The last time was 7 years ago and everything was just as outstanding as the first time. The food was absolutely delicious! I chose to go with the tacos this time. We had shrimp diablo tacos, carnitas, and the queso birria quesadillas along with the chips and guacamole. I highly recommend that you try this restaurant if you enjoy great Mexican food, a fun and lively environment, and a great service.

About the restaurant
This vibrant chain fits right in on Orlando’s busy International Drive. It’s a mix of flavor and fun, with kids welcome and something for everyone on the menu. There’s definitely a Tex-Mex vibe running through the options on offer, including sharing guacamole, quesadillas, and plenty of tacos. For a healthier option, try the Fiesta Chicken Taco Salad. Or, for the full experience, choose from six types of taco. The steak taco uses the house secret recipe- it’s worth going just for this.
