6 reviews for PR's Taco Palace
Cool college dive type of hang out with good food and great atmosphere.
No glamour here. Does have good tex-mex though. To say casual setting does a disservice to word casual-lol. It is a hole in the wall, literally, next to the train tracks. But the food is good- the service is very laid back. When it's busy, service can be a little off but all in all- it's usually a pretty place to hang out, drink and fill up on tex-mex. Wish there were more options in O-town.
I ve been going to PR's for a long time. The Jalapeno poppers are the best and the the fajitas are good. The service is always friendly and the drinks are strong.
It's not high class but if you are in the mood for some good cheesy mexican, this is a great place.
We went to PR's today because I thought they could handle a big crowd (14) for lunch. We got everybody at the table, but two they set at the bar right next to our table. PR's has been a Winter Park tradition for at least 25 years. It is the place to go for lunch on Fridays if you are in the mood for fajitas. The restaurant looks just the same as I remember it when I moved to Florida in 1982. It just has more graffiti and the bike made from copper tubing is missing from the wall there are TV's in its place. The building still rattles when trains go by on the track a few feet from the corner of the building.
The food at PR's has been pretty consistent since those early days. PR's is Tex-Mex with lots of cheddar cheese. Today I had one of the combination lunch specials. I choose one Enchiladas, one taco and rice. I had chicken on both the enchilada and the hard taco. The chicken was all white meat which had been shredded. The enchilada was topped with a savory ranchero sauce and then capped with cheddar cheese that was melted under the salamander. A bed of lettuce was placed under the taco which kept it from becoming soggy with the juicy from the enchilada. The other end of the plate had rice which was topped with a red sauce as well. The presentation was nice. The meal was very good.
Vegetarians can eat well here too, as the list of filling include spinach, mushrooms, veggies, and guacamole.
The thing you have to remember at PR's is don't fill up on the chips and endless soda before your meal arrives. I've learned over the years to sit at the bar because your meal will arrive sooner and you aren't as tempted to eat the whole bowl of chips.
Great food, lots of cheese. Great salsa and the setting is amazing. I love pr.
YUM! I am the queen of Mexican. LOVE it.
