Mx Taco is the winner of the 2020 Foodster Award for Best Tacos.
Black Rooster Taqueria was voted second and Fuego Tacos was third.
MX Taco opened last year in downtown Orlando’s Milk District and chef and owner Ryan Manning followed up with a second location in Waterford Lakes. As reviewed here and in this Tasting Table episode, Mx Taco features authentic dishes from various regions throughout Mexico, where Manning worked as a chef for Ritz-Carlton.
Black Rooster Taqueria in the Mills 50 district is a previous Foodster Award winner. In placing her vote, Stephanie Wood wrote: “Black Rooster is delicious! The best guacamole I have had locally and tacos are very innovative and delicious. The food here is the closest thing to authentic Mexican food that we have in the Central Florida.”
Taylor Shelby wrote: “Fuego Tacos is the bomb. Tastes like homemade cali-Mexican food.”
Congratulations to all the winners.

Many restaurateurs are new to the wonderful world of takeout and delivery. It takes some rethinking and retooling to do it right. Here are some thoughts to help you adjust:
- Limit your menu. Don’t try to offer everything from your regular menu. You’re probably working with a streamlined kitchen crew – please help them keep a distance from each other – and supplies might be limited, so focus on the foods you can make efficiently and well. Choose the items that will travel well – keep in mind that hot food placed in closed containers is going to create steam, so breaded items or anything else that should not turn soggy should be left off the takeout menu.
- Put prices on your takeout menu. No one is going to order without knowing the cost.
