tako cheena by pom pom

reallygoodfood and mediocore service. my first trip here i had decent service but the waitress seemed very lost and more anxious to leave halfway through our visit. nonetheless, the tacos are awesome! i never tried tofu before my visit but the tofu curry tacos are great and the same goes for the thai peanut chicken tacos. if anything, skip out on the expensive and rather bland empanadas.

great tacos!!! not a pork person but their pork taco was fantastic.goodflavor andgoodservice. parking was not ideal but overall agoodexperience

when i first tried tako cheena i was very impressed. still to this day i like going and enjoy their selection of food. i personally love their cod and shrimp tacos the best. the burritos can be a bit bland but their specials tend to be pretty good, like their arepas de pernil. which kinda takes a shot at making puerto rican style pork, it'sgoodjust not asgoodas real puerto rican pork. nonetheless their food and atmosphere is fun. just be careful when you go it might be too crowded.

the taco are non traditional and havegoodflavor
service was a tad lack luster and slightly off putting especially since when my friends and i ate there there early - before the lunch crowd.
the flavors of some takos were light to say the least
prices are fair

it's always ok. the sandwiches and beverages are slightly unusual, the prices aregoodand there is plenty of free parking. it's a bit more than ok.

this place is sogoodand so cheap.
under $10 for 3 tacos and a full belly, they are moving next door in a bigger location with a pick up window for orders to go.
my favorite tacos are in order: the cod, the crispy tofu, the pulled pork and the peanut chicken!!!!

waited last minute to get food on a sunday night and decided to give this a try... absolutely delicious. my brothers and i loved the tacos and my boyfriend couldn't even finish the huge burrito. and the price? perfect. definitely would suggest to anyone who is looking for somegoodlate night eats. it's also just far enough to be out of the way of the majority of tourist foot traffic

perfect after a late night!. i've never been to a place like tako cheena before. the dishes are unique and extremely flavorful and make for an excellent late night (or early morning!) meal. the few times i've been here it was very early morning and extremely crowded, which really shows howgoodthe food is. the restaurant is small with limited seating but well decorated and the employees are attentive. i've tried several of their dishes, mainly the burritos, and have never been disappointed.

average food and subpar service. i really wanted to like this restaurant, interesting food concepts andgoodlocation. there are however a myriad of negatives. i waited for over an hour and 20 minutes to get my tako. i should have walked out but the only time i saw the waitress was when she was assuring the table near mine that the food would be ready in about 5 more minutes. when the food was finally done there was hardly an apology for the wait just walking off to hang out with the other 7 employees in the kitchen, (1 for every 2 customers there). after the service and wait you would think the food would have to be amazing to compensate, but the "tako" was bland and couldn't even be compared to tacos from any number of cheap taco chain restaurants. overall it was a horrible experience that i hope some people will make sure they avoid.

omg amazing food and service. pork belly taco was sogoodi had to order another half way through the first! waiter was great. knowledgable and helpful. don't miss this place if you are in orlando.

hipster snobbery. the food here is inventive and very good, but it's got a bit of a snobbery problem. if you don't fit the whole shi-shi hipster mold, the girl at the front register is more than comfortable with communicating to you that your kind isn't wanted here with her patented stink-eye. the food here is good, but it isn'tgoodenough for all that.

love this place. i have eaten here many times and brought many others to enjoy the great food, ambiance andgoodservice. it is my grandson's most favorite place to go. being a pescetarian, there's enough to choose from and it's soooo good.
highly recommended. thanks for being there.

i want to thank the crew at tako cheena for the absolutely warm and awesome experience i have each time i'm there! the food is amazing and full of wonderful flavors but the service that you receive is the best yet! keep up thegoodwork and i will proudly continue to bring new humans in there each time i come to dine.

an absolute steal! with a refer local discount. 

i don’t know if all the bad customer service reviews caused these guys to kick it up a few notches, but my first experience was nothing short of amazing! absolutely the best customer service- they were attentive, knowledgable and excited about their food. i even heard a seasoned vet asking a newbie if she “thanked” a customer before leaving. 

now lets talk food! i had the cod and it was ok nothing that would make you "oh my god" (other than the cod sauce that it comes with.) then came the pork belly and i wanted to go behind the counter and smack somebody, it was deeeeeeelish! i also tried the ginger apple empanada and it wasgoodbut had a smidge to much ginger in it (not something i’d go mental over.)  now the start of the show, taco that makes you wanna stand up and tip your imaginary hat, the tofu curry dusted taco.  what an explosion of delicious, unique flavors.  

at the end of the day for $5 bucks i will endure the inferno that is the venue itself, as its killer hot in that mofo, honestly, i'd come back happy to pay full price, especially that curry tofu.

we arrived at 11:00am. we were one of the first people there but it started getting busy immediately. i am a fan of small menus. i like to get straight to the point and order. we started out with korean beef and chinese bbq takos, buffalo chicken empanadas, and indian butter chicken burrito. the takos were the first to be devoured. the taste was amazing. it truly is restaurant meets food truck as they claim on their window. i then tried the empanada. wifey was not a fan. as a latino i can eat anything fried. couldn't really taste the buffalo chicken but it was tasty. last, we tried the burrito. although the indian butter chicken burrito wasgoodit contained too much rice and way too little chicken. i felt i was eating a rice burrito. it also needed a bit more flavor but wifey ordered three different sauces and she made her own concoction. overall, great place, great ambience, music was loud but bearable. service was great and quick. four thumbs up. (two from wifey)
