Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

No muss, no fuss. Just good tacos! I'm sure the other food they have is really good, but all I can speak of are their tacos. The restaurant its self may look a lot run down and maybe unsafe, but that's how you know you'll get some good food. Every time I go, I'll order myself 6 asada tacos and either horchata or a pina drink. 6 tacos may sound like a lot, but let me tell you they are small but full of flavor! Once you get your food you can add all the toppings you want from their toppings bar. I personally am fine with just cilantro, onions, lime juice and crema. But their toppings bar has more than just that there for you to choose from. If you are looking for tacobell-esk food you're looking in the wrong place. If you're looking for some good authentic Mexican tacos, you've come to the right place! P.s. if you must use the bathroom... finish your food quickly, and go to the closest gas station... because that bathroom is a little scary.

I have traveled all over the world and had some damn good food. This place served not only the best Mexican food I have ever had, but possibly the best food I have ever tasted!!! I can't stop eating. The ingredients are fresh and authentic and it just makes me happy

How do you know a Mexican place is going to be good? 1. When your in Apopka, the place is packed, and your the only gringo there 2. When everything is in Spanish So it was with Taqueria Taco Reindo. The restaurant looks awful from the outside, and isn't much better inside. The whole building has a lean to it that makes you wonder how it passed fire code inspection. I would never had ventured in if it hadn't got such glowing Yelp reviews. When I called to ask how late they were open the person answering handed the phone to someone who could speak English. Another good sign... When we arrived we were greeted by a quiet, but nice young guy who then handed us menus. He also gave us samples of their flavored water- the milky Horchata (made with almonds and rice), red Tamarindo, and yellow Jamaica (pineapple). Our favorite of which was the Tamarindo. The menu is not extensive but has the fundamentals. Quesadillas, burritos, flautas, tacos. I ordered a cheese quesadilla for my son but it came with shredded pork that he deemed "spicy" (it wasn't). We had to order another that was "cheese only". He devoured this one. My husband and I shared the flautas, tacos and burritos. I really enjoyed my pork burritos supreme ($6.99) which came with a side of refried beans, rice and pico de gallo. The meat was moist and well seasoned. My husband's taco trio ($1.25 each) were good but small. The flautas supreme ($6.99) had a good flavor but were a little dry. I liked the topping bar- there you can chose from, among other things, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, grilled onions, and four types of salsa. Even the mildest of the four was a little spicy for me, but I'm a wimp. My husband, who loves hot sauce really enjoyed them. Food is cooked to order so you sit and when the food is ready it is brought to you. You then have to go back up to the toppings bar, which is a little awkward. Pay at the counter after you eat. They, unfortunately, do not serve beer (or margaritas!) which is too bad. It would've gone great with the food! I left Taco Reindo absolutely stuffed.

When in the Apopka area and longing for a taste of home (we hail from the central valley of California) we come here - wonderfully authentic "street" tacos, great salsas and additions from the condiment bar - its almost like stepping back home when walking through the door The staff is friendly and helpful and prices are very good If you want mexican food in the area, cant top this place

My favorite Mexican restaurant in Orlando, this place gets almost as real as the real deal in Mexico with the food been deliciously good and a lot like what you find in restaurants in Mexico and in street stands in Mexico city. The price are good for what you get and tacos are not expensive but you do have to eat a lot of them in order to get full unless you have very little appetite. The location i was going to in Altamonte before right almost at Apopka closed due to leasing issues so i found out they had a second location, who knew. Well i think this location in Apopka is as good and it is a bit larger inside then the one in Altamonte and can sit more people unlike the other location in Altamonte , witch was small and sometimes it was to busy to find a table or there was no parking spot. This location has as good of service and the food is fresh and good, you can also get aguas (waters) de orchata. I recommend this place to anyone that likes Mexican food and is looking for a cheap and good Mexican place to eat, i suggest do not arrive very hungry because they can be packed and very busy at times so you might have to wait a bit to get food and there is no appetizers. They are open every day except for Mondays and open till 9 O' clock at night.

Fantastic Find! Once again, fellow YELPERS, you come through! Thank you! Upon your advice, Husband and I decided to check out Taco Riendo a little over a week ago... well, we've been back twice more already. Muy bueno!!! This hole-in-the-wall, Mom and Pop restaurant is a fantastic find in Apopka... authentic Mexican fare, easy on the wallet, and genuine hospitality, too. Wonderful! I 'ditto' everyone else's comments and recommendations. There are a number of tasty dishes to try, but if your Spanish is rusty, be ready to point at the picture menu ... truly authentic - from mom in the kitchen to dad or daughter taking orders. Taco Riendo is a wonderfully tiny Mexican restaurant that needs no fancy decor. :) What would make it a five-star? Fresh iced-tea, but I guess that's not authentic. sigh... Thanks, fellow Yelpers! You were spot-on.

My wife is from the central valley of California, and has been seeking a decent taqueria here in Orlando. While not 100% in comparison to California, we both absolutely loved our visit here. Great prices, great food, great service.

Stopped by after work today. I have been passing by this place for 2 and 1/2 yrs and never stopped. How I regret 2 years of missing that yummy food. We went in and we were the only english speakers at the time(except for the owners 3rd grader who helped a bit with translation). We ordered the Taco asada and Flautas. I asked what the "Pastor" tacos were and was told it is pork. When we got our order the owner had encluded a Pastor taco on both my husband and my plate. It was so delicious. Perfectly spiced with tiny bits of pinnapple in it. The taco asada is so delicious. The have a toppings bar to add what you like. Use cilantro, onion, and then squeeze a lime wedge on each taco. That is my way. Just know the tacos are mini (a man's palm). So I could eat 4 or 5. They are $1.50 each. They take visa/mc. It looks like a dive on the outside but it is very family oriented on the inside. They have a tv but expect spanish programming. I will take my son and he can practice his spanish.

When you order tamales, take a seat and then notice one of the cooks shucking the corn to make your tamales... There's a good chance the food will be good. The food here is excellent. Feels like I'm in LA again. The tacos are excellent too and I like the sauce and toppings bar. Fantastic little place!
(5)Todd C.
Excellent small taco restaurant with great food and even better service! We stopped in after dropping our kids off at Panera and enjoyed a real treat for lunch. You gotta try Taqueria Riendo!
(5)Kamila L.
These tacos are little, but full of flavor! I ate 5: 2 "Lengua" (Tongue), 3 "Tripa"( Fried Beef tripe)= Result: Satisfied! I also ordered 1 Jamaica Horchata (Hibiscus Flower Juice) as a beverage. If you dare to try something different, try it here, because this is the only Mexican Restaurant where they actually fried the Beef Tripe after boiling, which is the right way to prepare this dish! Then, top with any of the salsas and you won't be disappointed! It is crunchy!!! The salsa I used in excess on the picture is the mildest but still delish! After all, I only spent $10 fricking dollars!!! :-) and the owner at the cashier is very sweet and kind! I know every single taco place in Orlando and the whole Florida: Mexican Restaurants, Tex-Mex Restaurants, etc. and this is by far with -THE BEST- decent cooking.

My wife, from Bakersfield, California, is always in search of an authentic Mexican Taqueria in Central Florida. We have been to many restaurants and Mercado, but I think our search is finally over. This is as close as we have found to a California Taqueria, and while still not perfect, they have excellent food, friendly service and a comfortable atmosphere. Many of the places we have been to in the area generally only speak Spanish, but here I can tell they are trying to reach out to the English speaking clientele, which makes me feel very welcome and cared about. So between this and the several other Mexican restaurants I have found in the area, we are able to get our fix whether it's hole in the wall, Mercado or fancy dining.

Tacos tacos tacos! This place has got some legit tacos, mini tacos to be exact! A friend of mine told me about this place, and I just had to go and try it for myself. Ever since that first visit I've been back a couple of times. The restaurant itself looks like it's a little old and a little sketch, but hey that's part of the adventure. When you walk in, I automatically feel like I'm in Mexico. It can feel warm inside, and I don't know if it's just the island blood in me, but it didn't bother me at all. hah. Don't worry, for those of you who don't speak spanish, there usually is family member that is there to help you out and make sure your order is just what you wanted ;) Let's get down to the nitty gritty, the food here is bomb. Inexpensive prices, fresh ingredients, and food comes out pretty fast. I can tell it's freshly made just by seeing the women in the back hand make everything. I absoutely LOVE the Carne Asada tacos, perfectly seasoned, and there's a topping bar to add whatever you'd like. Do yourself a favor and order more than 2, trust me :) Don't forget to add those Christmas sauces, but make sure you ask which one's are spicy or not! They have other things in the menu other than Tacos, some of their specials are written on the board, and their menu literally consists of three print out pages. If you want flautas, sopes, enchilada's, quesadilla's. Yup they got it! Also, try out their juices. Personally I love the Pineapple juice and the Horchata drink - Rick milk, don't let that fool you and make you question it, just get it ;)

This is one of the worst places ever. Has nothing to do with mexican, so dirty... food so discusting. Please if you are looking for an mexican hole in wall, well avoid this place

I work in winter springs but will make the drive to apopka to get my taco fix for lunch. I love how authentic the food is and a very good price.

Finally found some legit Mexican tacos! Apparently this place has been here for a while, and I can't believe I've been driving by this place for years! Little did i know that within this kind of beat up strip mall, I would be transported back to Mexico and eating delicious street stand-style carne asada mini-tacos. These tacos are not your taco hell/ fast food chain variety. These are in-house-made corn tortilla, tiny two bite taco tasty treats. Alliteration much? :) If you've ever had taco truck tacos with cilantro and onions, then you'll LOVE these. They come in different meats: Carne asada- grilled beef Pastor- pork pollo asada- grilled chicken lengua- beef tongue chicharon- crispy pork fat/belly tripa- beef tripe They have others that I can't remember. I ordered pretty much one of each except for the tripe and they are all delicious. My favorite being the classic carne asada. I just top those babies with cilantro, onions, salsa, and a little crema (kind of like sour cream) from the salsa bar and I'm good to go. 6-8 tacos are probably just enough for dinner, but i find myself wanting to order more because they are so good. Which isn't bad because they are like $1.50 each. They also serve sopes, quesodillas, ceviche, soups, etc. The pineapple and horchata drink is also delicious and if you really want a treat, they have Mexican coke... or at least the ones in the bottle. The staff is sweet despite their lack of English. I ordered everything in English and didn't have a problem. Their kids hang out there after school, I guess. The TV is kinda loud... but i come for the food. One of the best hole in the wall joints I've had!
(4)Ty K.
Amazing Tacos and friendly customer service. The food was nice and hot and their homemade hot sauces are amazing! I also love the Horchata and Jamaica drinks that they make, as well. I've been searching for a great taco place for years. Glad I found this place!
(5)Ana R.
Small but welcoming place (Parking could be a problem Sundays at lunch time.....family run. We tried Beef Fajitas, Chicken,Pork & Beef Tacos. All very yummy. We tried the elote (Corn on the cob) so delicious. Tacos were $1.50 a piece on the very small size. My daughters and I really liked it and we definitely will be back.
(4)Fernando S.
Very welcoming staff who were willing to explain the unique items on the menu. I've been to Mexico a few times and it really felt like I had just ordered some Mexican street good. Incredible flavor! Authentic, sincere, warm, delicious!
(5)Shena H.
Authentic...like eating in Mexico. We brought half the soccer team here during a tournament and we ate so well and had a great time.
(5)Vanessa R.
Yummy tacos! I have lived in Apopka for many years and can't believe I have never been here before. What I liked best about this place is that they have a toppings bar which includes onions, tomatoes etc. Also different kinds of sauces. I had the carne asada tacos but they also offer beef, chicken, chorizo, and chicharron. Fast service and cheap food can't beat that :)
(4)Danielle F.
Stumbled upon this place and almost drove past....yummmmm! Ridiculously fast service, sweet ladies running it. It was very, very good!
(5)Amber W.
Taquiera Taco Riendo serves up simple tacos on the cheap. These aren't the American style tacos, loaded down with toppings in a large shell. They are small (easily fit in your hand), and filled with the meat of your choice: Carne asada/grilled beef, pastor/pork, pollo/chicken, lengua/tongue, chicharon/crispy pork belly, chorizo, and tripe. While the tacos are tiny and basic, they are also super cheap - about $1.50-$2 per taco. Inside the restaurant, there's a salsa bar with the additions needed to make the perfect taco - chopped cilantro, onions, crema, etc... I've never chosen to stay and eat, so take out means being sure to load up on all the necessary items to take back with you. Some of the meat options weren't as flavorful as I'd like - the chicken was a bit on the bland side, which kept me from trying their more daring options like tongue and tripe. The pastor is super tasty and hands down my favorite of the options, and well worth stopping in for. Throw in some horchata and you've got a decent option for a cheap lunch or last minute dinner if you are in the Apopka area.

I've been meaning to stop here for quite a while and I finally made it. Should have done it sooner. Taqueria Taco Riendo ROCKS !!! I had the Jumbo Burrito and it was outstanding. Can't wait to go back to have a several tacos...

The location i was going to in Altamonte before right almost at Apopka closed due to leasing issues so i found out they had a second location, who knew. Well i think this location in Apopka is as good and it is a bit larger inside then the one in Altamonte and can sit more people unlike the other location in Altamonte , witch was small and sometimes it was to busy to find a table or there was no parking spot. This location has as good of service and the food is fresh and good, you can also get aguas (waters) de orchata. I recommend this place to anyone that likes Mexican food and is looking for a cheap and good Mexican place to eat, i suggest do not arrive very hungry because they can be packed and very busy at times so you might have to wait a bit to get food and there is no appetizers. They are open every day except for Mondays and open till 9 O' clock at night.

Fantastic Find! Once again, fellow YELPERS, you come through! Thank you! Upon your advice, Husband and I decided to check out Taco Riendo a little over a week ago... well, we've been back twice more already. Muy bueno!!! This hole-in-the-wall, Mom and Pop restaurant is a fantastic find in Apopka... authentic Mexican fare, easy on the wallet, and genuine hospitality, too. Wonderful! I 'ditto' everyone else's comments and recommendations. There are a number of tasty dishes to try, but if your Spanish is rusty, be ready to point at the picture menu ... truly authentic - from mom in the kitchen to dad or daughter taking orders. Taco Riendo is a wonderfully tiny Mexican restaurant that needs no fancy decor. :) What would make it a five-star? Fresh iced-tea, but I guess that's not authentic. sigh... Thanks, fellow Yelpers! You were spot-on.

My wife is from the central valley of California, and has been seeking a decent taqueria here in Orlando. While not 100% in comparison to California, we both absolutely loved our visit here. Great prices, great food, great service.

Stopped by after work today. I have been passing by this place for 2 and 1/2 yrs and never stopped. How I regret 2 years of missing that yummy food. We went in and we were the only english speakers at the time(except for the owners 3rd grader who helped a bit with translation). We ordered the Taco asada and Flautas. I asked what the "Pastor" tacos were and was told it is pork. When we got our order the owner had encluded a Pastor taco on both my husband and my plate. It was so delicious. Perfectly spiced with tiny bits of pinnapple in it. The taco asada is so delicious. The have a toppings bar to add what you like. Use cilantro, onion, and then squeeze a lime wedge on each taco. That is my way. Just know the tacos are mini (a man's palm). So I could eat 4 or 5. They are $1.50 each. They take visa/mc. It looks like a dive on the outside but it is very family oriented on the inside. They have a tv but expect spanish programming. I will take my son and he can practice his spanish.
