Los Amecas Restaurante y Taqueria is a solid choice if you’re looking to dive into authentic Mexican flavors in the heart of Orlando’s S Orange Ave corridor. This full-service Mexican and Latin American restaurant has a straightforward, welcoming vibe that suits both casual weekday lunches and neighborhood dinner outings.

The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, with attentive staff making sure you feel right at home—whether it’s your first visit or one of many. The space itself isn’t flashy but reflects a practical, local spot where the focus is clearly on the food and experience rather than upscale presentation.

Los Amecas shines most when it comes to tacos and traditional dishes that cater to those who appreciate genuine Mexican street food-style flavors. The menu offers a diverse range, including standout items like Cow Cheek Tacos, Green Enchiladas Suizas, and a variety of seafood options like Tostada Camaron and Aguachiles, giving diners plenty to explore beyond the usual staples. Most dishes come on the simpler side, letting the quality of seasoned, tender meats and fresh ingredients take center stage—think of tacos served plain so you can tailor each bite with cilantro, onions, lime, and a range of house sauces from their sauce buffet.

This spot particularly suits locals and visitors who value authenticity and good value without the fuss. It’s popular among regulars who know that four tacos paired with a cold drink can easily make for a satisfying and affordable meal. The service leans toward warm and personable, with staff members like Oliver positively mentioned for their welcoming approach, which adds to the down-to-earth charm.

Busy evenings tend to fill the space, so dropping by during typical meal hours will let you soak in a lively but manageable dining atmosphere. Whether you crave richly seasoned tacos, hearty burritos, or a bowl of Caldo de Res, Los Amecas fits well for anyone wanting a no-nonsense, flavor-forward Mexican meal in a community-focused setting.

Always my favorite tacos in Orlando, PERIOD! . The service is friendly and the value is amazing. The flavor of the suadero tacos is so juicy and rich. It’s a MUST if you love delicious and AUTHENTIC Mexican tacos. Their salsas are fresh and 4 tacos and a Victoria will run you around $16! Love it!

The food was good the tacos come plain and then you add the cilantro and onions and lime and sauces the meat was tender and seasoned well and it was a 10/10. The Dubai chocolate cup was delicious they have some of the freshest strawberries ever it was perfect for a family of 4 after their meal.

The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, and the service was excellent—the staff was very kind and attentive throughout. Although the food wasn’t exactly to my taste, I appreciated the overall experience and the warm service.

Let’s me just start by saying HOLY FRICKEN MOLY!!!! This restaurant IS by far a HIDDEN GEM!!!!!!!!!!!!! The food, the service, the atmosphere, the portions, the FOOOD!! It was by far top tier! Oliver is Fantastic! The recommendations he gave were absolutely on point! The attention and how attentive he was to excellent. This is the best restaurant I’ve ever been too. Mexican or not it won! The agua de Jamaica is so natural and delicious the price per plate is SOOOO WORTH IT! I got the chicken floutas, my husband got the carne asada and we both got a taco, while the carne asada was my favorite, his was the barbacoa. They were also excellent! Let me start by saying I am NOT a tortilla fan at all but I ate these with me beans for how delicious is wassss! They are made by scratch and have the best flavor! They even give you mints at the end of your meal JIC you have that good onion breath. I would recommend this place hands down. HANDS DOWN!!!!!

Great authentic Mexican food with great prices. I enjoy coming here on my lunch break without having to worry about breaking the bank lol. I enjoy the chicken tacos the best but maybe next time I'll try something different.

This place right here is a 20/20. The service that Oliver provided was great. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was great. The food had great flavor, the sauces they provide at the salad bar are just amazing. I would recommend this place to all my family and friends. If you are looking for a Mexican restaurant to eat at look no further this is the place to come too. I’ll be coming back again to enjoy this wonderful food. Thanks again Los Amecas for this wonderful day. And today was my birthday so it was a great birthday lunch here with my wife we enjoyed our time here and the food.
