El Tucan - Mexican restaurant in Merritt Island - 225 N Sykes Creek Pkwy, USA

Fantastic place! Some of the best customer service and food preparation and presentation. It is a very clean and comfortable environment and the food was absolutely amazing, not too expensive either. They deserve ALL the tips!

First time here. We went to try their taco Tuesday specials. To be honest, We were somewhat disappointed. The only real deal was the basic beef taco for $2, or you got $1 off any taco. My wife got a margarits which was strong, but she didn't like the alcohol they used. It had an odd medicine aftertaste. There were no tap beers available this evening so I had a Madello Negro in bottle, which was served cold and was good. My beef taco had jalopenoes, lettuce, cheese, and olives. The meat was rather bland without the peppers. My chicken taco was bland and dry. I had to add salsa to enjoy it. We tried the fish taco, which was very crispy but also dry with a fishy (off) smell. The best taco was the pulled pork. It was the most flavorful but served luke warm. We ordered a side of guacamole with the chips. It had a nice texture but also was bland. I had to add some salt to make it enjoyable, something I rarely need to do. The chips served were quite good. Overall, the service is very good and the food is just average. It took about 30 minutes for the tacos to cone out, at least on Tavo Tuesday. We felt that Salsas Cocina in Cocoa Beach was a better value and had more flavor. Maybe the regular menu is better. We will have to see.

This place used to be really good, now I’m not a huge fan. The salsa used to be one of my faves. This salsa tasted like tomato paste with onions, chips were ok. I ordered the pork mojo, taste wasn’t bad. I was told it came with black beans, rice and refried beans. The black beans never came. The refried beans taste like something that would come out of a can, rice was ok. I basically ate the meat and a few bites of the rice and beans but just was not a fan. I will not come back. My coworker got the pineapple chicken and she liked it. Another coworker got the enchiladas and wasn’t a fan. Service was kind of slow. No one came back to check to see if we needed more water or chips.

Nice restaurant, and happy, attentive staff! My deluxe tacos were delicious (pork and mahi), and my mom’s chile rellanos were fresh and delicious. Rice and beans side was a lil bland, but I think we were more disappointed with the salsa made from stewed tomatoes? They had fresh pico on our queso, tacos, and rice however. We also tried a sweetened espresso beverage that was perfect for the end of the meal. They just need a good fresh salsa in our opinion.

Came here to celebrate my friends birthday. The only thing that out beat the ambience was the food. It had amazing flavor and the portions were just right. The margaritas were definitely the star of the show. Service was good and the manger was exceptional, so attentive to our table and the ones around us. 10/10 would come again and definitely bring my friends ❤️🫶💕

Stopped in at prime time for a Friday night. Since it was St Patrick's Day, I expected fewer people, but not the emptiness we found. This place used to be packed! It is under new ownership and has a completely new menu. Happy hour $4 margarita was filled with ice, so it didn't last long. I like that we were asked if we wanted salt or sugar on the rim. The big surprise was how huge the pork chimichurri bowl was! Very flavorful and garlicky. More than enough for 2 people. It came with rice, beans and 2 tostones. At $15.50 it was a very generous portion.

Really good Mexican restaurant, tacos were great. Kids love the quesadillas, nice they have the option of chicken! Tremendous house salsa! House margaritas so good it makes it hard to even try a top shelf option.

Sat at the bar for lunch. Great service and the tacos were very good.
