El Tucan's on Merritt Island is the best place for mexican food in our opinion, we took our daughter there for her 2nd birthday (2004) and we've back many -many times. We have never had a bad experience there, the service, the food have always been excellent. Even after we moved from Merritt Island to Titusville, we gladly drive the... more

One of my two favorite Mexican food joints. Good food with different selections than you would normally expect from a Mexican restaurant. Full bar as well. Be prepared to wait on Friday and Saturday nights. more

My family and I are locals and come to El Tucan often. This restaurant has the best chips and salsa that I have ever eaten. As far as the dishes, I mainly stick with the chicken as I am not a fan of their ground beef. The ambiance is great and the staff is friendly. more

This restaurant was recommended by relatives in the area and they didn't lead us astray. El Tucan is truly the best Mexican restaurant we've been to. For starters, they bring out salsa and chips and some kind of bean dip. I ordered the fish tacos, made with mahi mahi, and they were so good. The fish was perfectly seasoned and... more

We love El Tucan. Beautiful inside and delicious food. The chips are homemade but sometimes a little greasy, but that doesn't stop us from pigging out on them. The salsa and bean dip is super, as are the chicken dishes and their tacos, especially the bean and cheese corn tacos for vegetarians like me. Our only complaint is the yellow... more
