It’s no secret we love a good taco and the spicier the better. But, sometimes between pinto beans, brown rice, guacamole and salsa it feels like I’m eating a taco on repeat. So I was thrilled to discover Tako Cheena located in the Mills 50 District. Their unique style blends two food cultures, Latin and Asian. Their food fusion is unpredictable and incredibly tasty.
After ditching the mile long line at Hawkers, my friend suggested Tako Cheena down the road. I’ll admit I was skeptical at first given the location and bare bones appearance. But, the tiny space was stuffed with people dining in or picking up tacos to take home.
The tacos were flavorful and interesting all at once. The Thai Peanut Chicken Tako (for only $2.81) was filled with mixed cabbage, cilantro scallion, chicken and crushed peanuts. I instantly fell in love and quickly realized I’ll never get burned out on tacos again. The Asian Braised Beef Tako was equally fabulous and worth going back for a second visit very, very soon. Seriously though, I’m anxiously anticipating my next visit to Tako Cheena. The menu is small but unique and also features empanadas and burritos, but you can’t go wrong with the tacos. Add some Srirachasauce and voilà, a perfect taco dinner for under ten bucks.
So next time you’re craving Latin and Asian flavors, don’t make your taste buds decide, hop over to Tako Cheena for some scrumptious flavors.
Tako Cheena is located at 932 North Mills Avenue, Orlando, FL 32803, takocheenaorlando.com and @TakoCheena Twitter.
