Taqueria La Chona

This is located in the shopping center at 19 & Duncan.
Cute and clean inside. They have several tables and 4 counter seats. Our server was quick to tend to us and the food was prepared quickly.
The chips and salsa were different. They had two varieties of tortilla chips as well as pork, rinds and very spicy salsa. I got a chicken quesadilla that came with rice and beans. The quesadilla was good, there was a chicken bone in there so I know it is hand-shredded there. The beans were good but not warm. The rice was tasty. They have a small up-charge for using credit card.

This is the best authentic Mexican restaurant in Tavares. It is family owned and everything is made to order. Everything here is excellent, especially the homemade guacamole, chips, and tacos. I highly recommend this place

The best Mexican restaurant in Lake County! Great menu, friendly service...they really go above and beyond. Dining room is spacious and clean. Nice selection of beers and the maragritas are tasty!

Just stopped here for lunch passing through town. We love authentic Mexican and to support local family businesses. We both ordered traditional tacos and a side of guacamole. The homemade chips, salsa, tortillas and freshly made guacamole were totally on point! Friendly service, clean & delicious! We'll be back!

You have to love little "hole in the wall" places that are easily overlooked. I was driving from Howey in the Hills the other day and noticed this restaurant hiding in an unassuming strip mall. Since my wife adores Mexican food, I promised I would bring her.
A couple days later I made good on that promise, and we are glad I did.
We were seated promptly and served house made chips and salsa. The salsa was a tad on the spicy side, but very good and shouldn't be too spicy unless you are very sensitive. I'm talking just that little heat at the back of your throat, and enough to liberate your sinuses.
My wife had two soft tacos which she devoured. I had the Chorizo Burrito, which was huge! Seriously, it's a good investment, because you WILL get two meals from it.
I had hibiscus aqua fresca, which I greatly enjoyed. The wife had Mexican Coca-Cola.
I highly recommend stopping by. I know it won't be the last time my wife and I visit.

Once again, we were NOT disappointed! Two of us had quesadillas; steak & chicken and the 3rd in our group had a burrito! In addition to being delicious, The portions are HUGE. If you want authentic Mexican food. Give this place a try!
