ORLANDO, FL – Visit Orlando’s Magical Dining is now underway, running through September, with over 188 restaurants offering prix-fixe menus at different price tiers. I stopped by Reyes Mezcaleria, featuring a menu from Good Salt Hospitality and award-winning Chef Wendy Lopez, to try their $40 prix-fixe menu this weekend.

Quick note before you go: I didn’t have a reservation, so I sat at the bar and was well taken care of by the bar staff. The only other option during my visit patio seating, so if you want a table inside, book ahead.

According to the restaurant, the team’s mission is to honor the cuisine, spirits, and culture of Mexico through thoughtfully prepared dishes made with the finest ingredients possible. The Magical Dining menu at Reyes has several main course options, including their popular Lamb Birria, Trout Veracruz, and Enchiladas Verdes, plus a choice of appetizers and desserts.

For a starter, I had the ceviche and upgraded it to mixto for $5, which adds shrimp and octopus. They’re generous with the portion, and it’s definitely a great shareable appetizer. The sauce hits with a punch of acid and savoriness that lingers.

The Lamb Birria features slow-cooked lamb shank served with consommé, cilantro, red onion, and Oaxacan corn tortillas. This isn’t the birria most people are used to, since a lot of places in Florida don’t offer authentic birria and tend to skip the lamb altogether, going with a fattier beef mixture instead. This version has a savory flavor, almost like a deliciously seasoned stew, and the lamb falls right off the bone, which makes it perfect for building your own tacos. I personally enjoyed it and recommend it.

For dessert, I had the Guera Cake, layers of flan and tres leches intermixed with each other. It was delicious and not too sweet, but honestly, I’d recommend the churros instead which are some of the best I’ve had in Florida.

One upgrade I’d love to see: a tequila or mezcal flight paired with the three courses, especially given their list of over 150 agave spirits.
