Tuesday should be the best day of the week because it’s all about the Tacos! Here are some of my favorites (I will be updating regularly)
Talkin Tacos - 3123 S Orange Ave Suite 106, Orlando, FL 32806 (Jan 17)
Less talkin’ more tacos! I knew I had to try this new spot in SoDo. The aesthetic alone had me dying to come in, you know I love a good mural moment!
I went with the Cali Burrito - California Style Burrito: Flour Tortilla, Rice, Your Choice of Protein ( I went with steak), Cheese sauce, French Fries, Chihuahua Cheese, Avocado Salsa, Sour Cream, Spicy Mayo, Takis, and Cilantro. The burrito comes with chips dusted with cheese and a dippin cheese sauce. I also had to have a Jarritos agua fresca.
Solita Tacos - 222 S Orange Ave, Orlando, FL 32801 (Nov 30)
I went with the quesadillas - two large flour tortillas, cheese, salsa fresca & guacamole. What was super fun is that their flour tortillas are pink! The chicken was full of flavor and their salsa had just the right amount of kick.
They have a Taco Tuesday special from 3p - 6p on Tuesdays. Street tacos 2 for $7 or 4 for $12. Plus drink specials on the tequila.
Rocco’s Tacos - 7468 W Sand Lake Rd, Orlando, FL 32819
They used to do an all you can eat taco deal but recently switched it up to $2 off tacos and margaritas. You can do individual tacos or taco platters that come with yellow rice and choice of beans. I went with their classic spicy beef and the carne asada. I also love their esquite, which is a side big enough to share! Lots of margarita options and both bar areas are super lively!
Barrio Tacos - 749 N Alafaya Trail, Orlando, FL 32828 (Sept 15)
This place has perfected the build your own taco concept. You pick the kind of shell, style of filling, protein and add ons. My favorite proteins are the coca-cola marinated steak, beef short rib and the spiced rub chicken. They also have a variety of salsa and sauces. The combinations and possibilities are endless.
Black Rooster - 1323 N Mills Ave, Orlando, FL 32803 (Sept 3)
Street taco style quick service restaurant. most of the tacos are around $4 and its recommended to get 2 or 3. I go for the Carne Asada - Seared beef, house marinade, onions, salsa, cilantro and they also have the Black Rooster Asada - Seared beef, apple wood smoked bacon, Oaxaca cheese, pickled chile poblano. Smoke Beef Brisket is another fav Thinly sliced beef, chimichurri, romaine lettuce, crema fresca, pico de gallo, cotija cheese. They also have chicken and pork options too. Make sure to add chips & guac to the order too!
