El Alacrán Taquería - Ocoee

Great Authentic Food absolutely 100 on everything you’re gonna be full!!!

The best Carnita and Pollo al Pastor Burritos in all of Orlando!!

El Alacrán Taquería is just okay. It has some good and bad aspects to it, and unfortunately the bad outweigh the good. It is very cheap (one of the least expensive Mexican places anywhere in this area of Orlando, and I’ve been to almost all of them), and the people working there were friendly, but the food just wasn’t the best and the atmosphere wasn’t great either. The cabeza, carnitas and barbacoa tacos were good, but the chicken, steak and lengua tacos were not very good. The al pastor was the worst we’ve ever had. The only reason the others tasted good was because they were marinated I don’t think any of the meat was very fresh, hence why much of it tasted old and bland. They have a salsa bar, but it’s not very nice, and certainly not as kept up as other Mexican restaurants’ salsa bars. And the tortillas were too thick and tasted almost like cornbread! They didn’t add enough water to them so they all fell apart in your hands… Avoid the sopes the al pastor tacos and steak sope were the worst things here. But overall regarding food, just not very impressed at all. It’s a rather dirty looking place and it’s mind boggling to me how it got such a high rating on its last health report (check the LifeKitchen app). You walk inside and see dirty, beat up chairs and tables and realize you definitely don’t want to eat here you only want to take out from here. I walked past the kitchen and saw employees handling very old looking food. It’s just not worth it to me even though it’s extremely cheap, I wouldn’t waste my money and I would instead go to places like Don Poncho, La Hacienda or Garibaldi in Apopka, even if they cost a bit more. At least at those places, my money is well spent!

I LOVE the tostada with Ceviche!!! It's my go to order at least once a week. Everything is so fresh and delicious!

First taco place me my man tried moving from Illinois let me tell you Chicago is a hard place to compete with but si le llegan, michis are bomb here! Always a great place to relieve the antojo ?
