The atmosphere is wonderful, between the details in the chairs, tables, and decor. You can't help but feel as though you're in another region.
The staff was attentive, quick, and caring with the service and comfort of their patrons.
The only letdown was that the meat in our tacos seemed bland. Everything appeared to be reasonably portioned, but the meat just couldn't be tasted over the other ingredients.
Overall, I'll be going again in hopes of getting a better experience in the food, I would still recommend giving them a try.

Oh my gosh what fun I’m here at Progresso Tortilleria restaurant + supermarket, ice cream shop and more…
Amazing atmosphere. They have mariachis here on Sundays- it’s my first time here and I’m definitely coming back. It’s got a beautiful Supermarket as well with authentic Mexican grocery and an ice cream shop!
Definitely recommend something to do for everyone in the family unit!

Azalea Park, FL. If you ask my friend where she’s from she’ll say Mexico; “My family has lived in Mexico in the same place for generations—-until it became Texas.” When I asked her the best place for Mexican food she said Tortilleria El Progreso. “They have the best tortillas, my son gets them for my birthday.” We live kinda far from the restaurant but her family loves the food here and if she and her gringo husband can make the drive we figured it must be really good.
So my hubby and I finally drove up on a weekday errand and came here for lunch. One bite of his chicken flauta and his eyes opened wide. “Ohh Shirley might be right that this is the best Mexican food,” he remarked. He and his brother haven’t had much luck finding good flautas in Florida but these were delicious. Also the refried beans were some of the best we’ve ever had.
My pozole was good like as if Grandma made it, with great flavor and lots of fatty pork chunks, two potato chunks and hominy. With it came lime wedges, diced white onion, jalapeños and cilantro. They offered corn or flour tortillas on the side and they were hot and super fresh.
The chips and guacamole, red sauce and tomatillo sauce were all great. They didn’t add cumin or a lot of cilantro, just fresh tomatoes, tomatillos, and onions depending on the type of sauce it was. The green sauce packed the most heat. I found the chips slightly tough.
Nice music (accordion, soulful vocals and Mexican hits) and the back room is pretty flashy. Our booth seats were cowhide in appearance , soft but kinda smeared with salsa, so if you hate germs bring sanitizer and sit at the tables with black leather seats.
Next time I’ll try the tamales.

Was on the hunt for lengua and tripa tacos and I came across this gem in my google searches. It is a restaurant connected to a grocery store. The restaurant is beautiful painted down to the tables and chairs! I ordered an assortment of tacos to try (carnitas, lengua, tripa, carne asada). The tripa was crispy and light. The lengua was soft and melt in mouth. The red salsa is delicious. I also had a cantaloupe agua Fresca and it was amazing! Highly recommend for authentic street tacos. Service was great. My waitress helped answer any questions I had and was attentive :)

I love this place! It’s probably one of the best if not the best tacos I’ve had in Orlando. The food is always fresh and very tasty. I’ve tried the tacos and other dishes but my favorite dishes here are the fajitas; the steak, shrimp, chicken or mixed they are all DELICIOUS. Last time we tried the molcajete, and it was so much yummy meats we couldn’t finish it. This place never disappoints.
