Agree! However, I just had the best Mexican ever at Agave Azul near the Orlando airport - fresh and great flavors!

Not a fan of their salsa. Maybe chili powder?
We actually loved Sam Saint Johns shrimp and cheese grits and they had the best hush puppies!
The interior of the new Mexican place is beautiful but we weren’t impressed with our food, were hoping for better.

I make my own chili powder out of Big Jim’s chili peppers along with about 4 or 5 more varieties.

I cannot figure out where this plaza is what else is in this shopping plaza or what is the address, thanks

Across from Wal-Mart 441, behind McDonald's, in center of strip mall.

Other than Mexico or the Pilsen neighborhood in Chicago I haven't experienced any truly authentic Mexican food. But I'll give the place a try.

I have to agree as a recent Colorado transplant, and a California native. Mexican food here in Florida and the Southeast US in general is far from “authentic”. For the “real deal” I have to cook it myself.

However, there are a few food trucks in the Orlando area that have passable street tacos.

Must be off the reservation so have not been to any. If I can’t get there by golf cart I most likely have not eaten there.

My only complaint with Mexican food in general why do they ALWAYS serve rice and beans with every entree. Is that all they’ve got in Mexico? I think not, so why does every Mexican place think that we Americans love them so much?

Good

I enjoyed my meal and the service
