"I had a few frustrating attempts at calling; the phone was answered, but I kept getting disconnected. Perhaps it was a sign from the universe to try somewhere else, but my stubbornness paid off, and I eventually managed to place my order. I did want to mention that either the prices have changed without an update to their online menu, or I was overcharged. While I understand rising food costs have compelled many restaurants to increase their prices, it would be thoughtful to keep their online menu up to date to avoid surprising customers. Despite this, the prices still felt reasonable.
I ordered twelve tacos (four each of chorizo, carnitas, and cabeza), a kid's chicken nuggets meal, a side of rice, a side of beans, a burrito norteño, a chimichanga, and a Cubana torta. Overall, it was a fair deal for all that food, but the online menu definitely needs an update.
I sampled the tacos and the Cubana torta. Out of everything I tried, the torta was the standout item. It came with French fries, though they were rather average. The tacos, on the other hand, were mediocre at best—unremarkable and not compelling enough to encourage a return visit. I really wanted to enjoy this place and hoped it would be a hidden gem to share with fellow food lovers seeking great Mexican food in Orlando. Sadly, Tortilleria El Progresso just didn't meet that expectation. I even considered giving it four stars, but ultimately, three stars is the highest rating I can honestly give."
