My family was in search of authentic Mexican food while on vacation and this place ticked all the boxes! The staff were absolutely wonderful, they gave us all their recommendations and answered all our questions. We told them we like spice and they brought us extra sauces to try! We will absolutely be back every time we visit Orlando.

Very good food. The lady brought out some good chips and salsa and then asked if we wanted something más caliente, but of course, and she brought more chips with this brilliant habanero sauce. Super filling, loved the way they did the rice and beans. The steak chimichangas were great.

Best Mexican restaurant around. So authentic! Food id fantastic! We drive an hour to get here and it is certainly worth the ride! Also they have a fantastic bakery next door. Additionally, they just redecorated and it is even nicer than before!

Stopped in on the way running errands, my fiance said "I'm just gonna have a bite of my burrito before we get going" and that is an empty plate I wish I'd gotten a before picture lol! Not only is the food delicious, the portion sizes are great, but I personally love the art on all the chairs and tables!!

Azalea Park, FL. If you ask my friend where she’s from she’ll say Mexico; “My family has lived in Mexico in the same place for generations—-until it became Texas.” When I asked her the best place for Mexican food she said Tortilleria El Progreso. “They have the best tortillas, my son gets them for my birthday.” We live kinda far from the restaurant but her family loves the food here and if she and her gringo husband can make the drive we figured it must be really good. So my hubby and I finally drove up on a weekday errand and came here for lunch. One bite of his chicken flauta and his eyes opened wide. “Ohh Shirley might be right that this is the best Mexican food,” he remarked. He and his brother haven’t had much luck finding good flautas in Florida but these were delicious. Also the refried beans were some of the best we’ve ever had. My pozole was good like as if Grandma made it, with great flavor and lots of fatty pork chunks, two potato chunks and hominy. With it came lime wedges, diced white onion, jalapeños and cilantro. They offered corn or flour tortillas on the side and they were hot and super fresh. The chips and guacamole, red sauce and tomatillo sauce were all great. They didn’t add cumin or a lot of cilantro, just fresh tomatoes, tomatillos, and onions depending on the type of sauce it was. The green sauce packed the most heat. I found the chips slightly tough. Nice music (accordion, soulful vocals and Mexican hits) and the back room is pretty flashy. Our booth seats were cowhide in appearance , soft but kinda smeared with salsa, so if you hate germs bring sanitizer and sit at the tables with black leather seats. Next time I’ll try the tamales. Update on 5/2025: Came here for a friend’s birthday. Thank you to the lovely servers who sang for her with a bubble machine and tambourine!!! My friends and I enjoyed our burritos, salads and enchiladas!

Amazing Latino, Mexican food in massive quantities. We enjoyed shrimp fajitas and burritos. Could have easily fed a family of four. Friendly customer service and delicious Mexican food options. Seem to be a local favorite. It's right next to home Depot in the nearby plaza. Highly recommend bringing your family and friends if you are in the area.
