Eduardo’s Lokos Tacos

1^st time in Tavares & as a Taco/​Mexican food enthusiast, I immediately decided to give this place a try while breaking for lunch after serving my duty as a juror. I ordered their 3 taco plate that comes paired with rice & refried beans. I have to say, the Carne Asada tacos were a bit tasteless as well as their rice, their Barbacoa taco had an odd tasting sauce, and their refried beans were very watered down. Tacos were served with only one tortilla which were saggy & fell apart after the first bite. Maybe it was an off day since the reviews speak so highly, but I gave it 2 stars because their hospitality was pleasant. Hope this review helps a fellow Mexican food addict like myself in the future.

Love eating here! My hubby raves about them and he is very particular! Amazing service even when there is a child’s birthday happening!

Every thing about this place was horrible… I’m not sure why the barbacoa looked the way it did either

Good Mexican, but not great. I think they are trying to lower the spice for the local clientele and it’s coming out a bit bland. The chips and salsa are excellent. They do a chipotle salsa that is different from any I’ve had before. It has a nice little bit of heat and a lot of flavor. If everything had been up to that standard, this would have been 5+ stars. My coworkers rave about the locos tacos –perhaps I should have gone with them.
Instead I got a make-​your-​own combo with two chicken flautas and a pork taco. The taco was very good — the pork was diced small and a little crispy, street-​taco style. Radishes and cut lime on the side are great add-​ins. The flautas, however, were ho-​hum. They really needed some kind of salsa or spice as they were a bit dry and bland.
As for the rice and beans — blah. It may have been just me (everyone else at the table devoured them), but I didn’t care for them. I can’t even tell you what was wrong with them other than they weren’t worth the calories.
This is a new restaurant and it shows a lot of promise. Prices are reasonable, portions are large, the service was good and the décor is a lot of fun. If they spice up their food a bit, this restaurant could become a mainstay and fill the Mexican food hole in this area!
Updated review: visited again and have updated to five stars! I had the same meal as before, but added salsa verde, as suggested. It was excellent and provided just the right amount of kick to the flautas. And I don’t know whether they changed their recipe for beans, but they were really good today. My only complaint is is that it was so good, I ate most of the plate… and now I’m having trouble staying awake!

So. So. Good.
A friend recently took me to lunch and instead if our usual Mexican stop she drove us to this treat.
The salsa here is ridiculous. And by ridiculous I mean I could almost drink it!
We both ordered off of the lunch menu and we other ended up taking home half of our meals. The burrito was to die for and her Kekas were even better.
When driving by it doesn’t scream, «come try me» but trust me you should.

Holy molé — how did this place get all those good reviews? Because it certainly didn’t deserve it when we were there.
About 30 min after placing our orders we inquired as to when the chicken wings (appetizer) would arrive. At that time we were informed that «the kitchen is slammed» but that our food was «on the way». Then we were told that the chicken wings we’d ordered were only available buffalo style. Since we were hungry we acquiesced, but they arrived with the rest of the (late) meal, tasting only of Tabasco.
None of the tacos were tasty. Soggy tortillas held small portions of very stringy/​chewy beef (barbacoa) with some kind of weird sauce; dry chicken; sour chorizo; or bland ground beef. Beans & rice were lukewarm and unremarkable.
Not a very satisfying meal.

If you’re from out of town looking for Real Authentic Mexican, this place is Amazing. It has the best by far Chimichanga I’ve ever had. Also, the table side Guacamole is the best you can ever have.
Let me not forget to mention that the portions are huge, definitely bring your appetite.

Unbelievable, my new favorite Mexican restaurant. Why go anyplace else when this place is available! Great service, friendly staff, prompt service, great prices. Exceptional quality. Can’t do any better than this. Please don’t change a thing! Love this place!

I was considering giving 4 stars, but could not find any real flaws in our order! Is it the best I ever had? Of course not, I lived in San Diego for 15 years. But, the Carnitas were perfect and even though the picante was too mild for my taste, I don’t think they did anything wrong — They’re just taking it down a notch for the local clientele.
Wife got the shrimp fajitas, it was enough for two people! I hate green bell peppers so it wasn’t my favorite for that reason but I still ate 4 shrimps. All delicious.
Overall, a 6 $ lunch carnitas plate with rice and beans? Awesome.

Ohhhh man! This place is phenomenal! I’ve been a patron since they were just a food truck and they have continued to blow me away since my first taco with them!
My wife had the Flautas… Not my favorite, but really good none the less. Hers was best with the toppings included. Brought the whole thing together.
I had the Steak Burrito Grande and it was excellent. The burrito came stuffed! Like a grown, working man’s forearm! The rice it was stuffed with was good enough to eat by itself. The lettuce was perfectly fresh and crisp!
All together, it was excellent. I look forward to a long, happy, fat future with Eduardo’s!

This place is the real deal! This is not Tex Mex This is authentic mexican. Everything is fresh made with the best ingredients possible. When you take your first bite you will know what I’m talking about! The tacos were delicious and my buddy loved the burrito! This will become a regular spot for us.

Portions are large, and each piece of this meal was prepared perfectly. The steak and the shrimp fajitas were delicious.
Parking is a bit tight, but there is enough. Will definitely be back.

Excellent food, reasonable prices and very pleasant staff
