Best Mexican & Latin Restaurants in Kissimmee & Poinciana: A Local's Guide
17
items Craving authentic tacos, pupusas, or a perfectly seasoned plate of ropa vieja? Central Florida's Mexican and Latin food scene runs deep, and after years of eating my way across Osceola County, these are the spots my family returns to again and again....
Map
My go-to for real-deal Mexican on Vine Street. The sizzling fajitas and house margaritas never miss, and the chips and salsa keep coming. It's our family's first stop when we're craving authentic flavor.
El Tapatio Mexican Restaurant
A Poinciana gem right on Cypress Parkway. The tacos al pastor and carne asada are the real thing, portions are generous, and it's become our family's weeknight taco spot. Don't skip the salsa bar.
Don Pepe Taqueria
A local favorite for fresh, made-to-order Mexican. The portions are huge, the salsa bar is loaded, and the burritos could feed two. Great quick stop when the family wants Mexican without the wait.
Habaneros Fresh Mexican Grill
When we want Latin-style fried chicken, this is the spot. The crispy, citrus-marinated chicken with sweet plantains and yuca fries is a family favorite, and the drive-thru on 192 makes it an easy weeknight win.
Pollo Campero
Home of an incredible Cuban sandwich. The pressed bread, roast pork, and ham combo is exactly right, and the ropa vieja and tostones make it a full Cuban comfort meal. A Kissimmee staple I send everyone to.
Rincon Cubano
Orlando-area favorite for “real Mexican food,” and the Kissimmee-area locations deliver. Big portions of fajitas, enchiladas, and chimichangas at a fair price, with a lively family atmosphere. Great for a casual sit-down dinner.
El Potro Mexican Restaurant
Our go-to for fast, fresh Caribbean-Latin food. The grilled mojo chicken, cilantro garlic sauce, and rice and beans are a weeknight staple, and the family meal deals feed everyone for cheap. Reliable and always good.
Pollo Tropical
Florida-grown Tex-Mex with a hot sauce bar that's half the fun. The chimichangas and queso are crowd-pleasers, and it's a dependable, kid-friendly spot when the family can't agree on anything else.
Tijuana Flats
Our favorite Latin bakery and breakfast stop on Fortune Road. The quesitos, guava pastries, and Cuban coffee are unbeatable, and the hot deli counter does mofongo and roast pork right. Always packed for a reason.
Melao Bakery - Kissimmee
Hearty Puerto Rican cooking on West Vine. The mofongo, pernil, and arroz con gandules are the real deal, and portions are huge. When my family wants comfort food from the island, this is where we go.
El Cilantrillo Restaurant - Kissimmee
Homestyle Latin comfort food done fast. The rotisserie chicken with chimichurri, sweet plantains, and Cuban-style sides is consistently great and easy on the wallet. A reliable family dinner when we don't feel like cooking.
La Granja Restaurant
A no-frills taqueria on West Vine slinging some of the most authentic tacos in town. Tacos al pastor, suadero, and lengua on real corn tortillas, plus aguas frescas. This is where I take friends who want the real thing.
Taqueria Casas
Just up Orange Blossom Trail from Kissimmee, this is a sit-down Mexican spot worth the short drive. Generous fajita platters, molcajetes, and strong margaritas in a festive room. A favorite for family celebrations.
Azteca D'Oro Mexican Restaurant OBT
A longtime Vine Street favorite for sit-down Mexican. The fajitas come out sizzling and the margaritas are no joke, so we always go hungry.
El Tenampa Mexican Restaurant
Our go-to taco truck spot when we want the real deal. The al pastor and lengua tacos are cheap, fast, and exactly what a late-night Kissimmee craving calls for.
Tacos El Rancho
A family-owned spot we love for honest, no-frills Mexican plates. The portions are huge and the salsa hits just right, which keeps us coming back.
Mi Pueblo Mexican Grill
Fast, fresh, and easy on the wallet when we want a quick Mexican fix. Build-your-own burritos and tacos make it a reliable weeknight stop near the parks.
Border Grill Fresh-Mex
