    I met up with a group for Taco Tuesday At Cantina Louie the Atlantic Beach location. Specials inside $2.99 tacos, drink specials and half price apps before 6:00 PM. We ordered a bunch of apps to share including queso and guac. I ordered a shrimp taco and chicken taco. Bus tacos were good. I enjoyed the guacamole as well! I also had a mango margarita. Our server had her hands full with our table of 12. So service was a little slow plus the restaurant was also busy. I would go back to this Cantina Louie location for Taco Tuesday.

    I just have to say I have eaten here for years and years and I have never gotten a bad meal! Let's just start with the salsa and chips! They are my favorite and all of jacksonville. It is the perfect amount of spice and salt in that salsa and I crave it continuously! Haha! The food tastes amazing and it's such generous portions that you have some to take home and enjoy later. You can't go wrong eating here!

    This was such a cozy and quick place to grab a bite of my favorite food... Mexican! Upon arrival I was told I could sit anywhere I want. The waitress was very quick, informative, and nice. She was definitely running around working hard. The place was a little slow tonight on people dining in but service was still great. The food was pretty good for the price. Not the best but not the worst by far. I would definitely come back. Since I had my dog-ter with me I didn't go in but it looked like they had a bar and nice decorations inside. I will come back here for sure.

    Taco night on Tuesday is amazing for just $2.99 and $6.99 margaritas These are gourmet taco and NOT the typical chickens and beef tacos. For anyone that loves taco Tuesday this is the jam. Service is fast and the bartenders are very attentive with a good vibe. I had the blackened scallops and the grouper and each one was very delicious. ***one thing to.note is that Happy Hour is every day rom 2-6pm with $5.99 margaritas and 1/2 off appetizers.

    One of my favorite Mexican spots around town. Love their chips and salsa but I especially enjoy their street corn shrimp quesadilla. It is by far my favorite item on the menu. I do also really enjoy the Buffalo shrimp taco. I have never had a bad experience at any cantina Louie! And don't forget to order your to go margaritas!

    I ordered beef tacos and they were great.

    I absolutely love this place. The bar is full on a Monday and the bartender is fabulous. She communicates perfectly, even when in "the weeds".

    Service was a bit slow but food was good and no real complaints. Not even complaining about service. Just spent like 10 minutes idle after finishing food

    Decided to stop here for a quick early lunch. Restaurant was clean and open showing the same consistency for the other locations in the area. Service was efficient and the servers were super friendly. They all worked as a team to get all patrons served super fast. Tacos were flavorful, chips were warm and fresh. The drinks weren't too strong at this location. Overall everything was nice and I would definitely return.

    Always a consistent meal there. I like that they add and put new things on the menu and have specials. It definitely has evolved over the years. It's one of the best budget priced restaurants in the area also with good outdoor seating. Food comes out fast! My only one tiny thing is service to actually get someone to get your order or retrieve drinks from the bar can be patchy.

Greeted and sat right away- 5 of us. Hostess nice, server nice. Right away had two large bowls of chips and two types of salsa brought to us. Chips were good, just added salt. Unfortunately it went downhill from there. And we were patient, super patient. It was a Friday, but it was not overly crowded, like I said - seated immediately around 7:40. Drinks, took over 30 minutes for a pineapple one and three skinny- we joked the food would arrive first, but we were very wrong. Then, the waitress waited for us to try- I think it was a newer person at the bar. We tried to like it, but somehow it tasted like flat sprite.our server took them away and made us them herself. Now, those were great. Small side of guac was brought after that- meant to go with the meal, but we were so hungry we just ate with the chips. It was very good- fresh tasting. Then we waited. And waited some more. Asked about the food, then waited some more. Finally, we cut our losses and asked for the check minus the food that never came. The band was starting next door and we wanted to celebrate the bday girl. Pic 1, text just after 8pm- shows me joking that I was going to eat my friends food since she was headed over from next door and taking a bit and we had ordered 10 minutes prior. Pic 2, text shows us giving up- 9pm. So over an hour wait on food that never arrived - even if busy that would be a deal breaker. We were excited to try it too- disappointed.

    4.5 stars would be most accurate. Located in the heart of Jacksonville Beach, this fancy restaurant…read moreserves Oaxaca food from Mexico for both dinner and brunch. I had my first meal there when I visited Jacksonville Beach recently. Got the grilled bone-in yellow snapper, which was a daily special. Fresh, meaty, smoky. It was served with mixed greens and apple salad, some grilled green onions and freshly made corn tortillas. All paired well with the fish. The tortillas were about 0.75oz per piece. Moreover, the dish was served on a HUGE cutting board! I also ordered a side of Spanish rice, but surprisingly the manager took it off from my bill, saying that "[he was] glad that I enjoyed the meal so much"! The first meal was indeed impressive; it had been a while since I had had such Mexican food last time. So I decided to give it another try the next evening. Ordered the Carne Asada (asked for rare) and sub the beans with extra tortillas (to avoid high GI food). But the steak was disappointing: the first time it was served ~medium-well. The second time it was ~medium-rare so I did not complain twice. However, it was quite chewy. One reason was that, as you can see from my picture, the meat was not rest long enough before it was sliced and served. Service was good, friendly and quick. The restuarant was a bit noisy but I enjoyed the energy. Moreover, there were lots of beautiful decors and murals. I really like the tiger painted on the wall of their main dining area. So in short, I would recommend this restaurant if you like Mexican food. I would recommend the seafood and slowly-cooked stuff, like their short rib and pork shank. And I will dine in again the next time I visit Jacksonville Beach.

    I loved the ambience and the vibes here. Service was great. But i consider it an over priced taco…read morespot. Not worth the price, it almost 5$ per taco and they did not blow our mind with flavor. The only thing we truly enjoyed was the guac and chips and the coffee flan! Top tier!

I ordered the Wet California burrito with steak, and it was mostly rice and beans with very little steak. The "wet" was just queso poured over the top and onto the plate. Some bites tasted decent, others were inconsistent. The steak that was there was okay. The margarita was also a letdown -- more sour than expected and likely house tequila, with very little ice. Chips were unsalted (which I didn't mind), and the salsa had a bit of a pinch to it. Unfortunately, I woke up the next morning with a bad stomach ache and didn't feel great while eating the food. I probably should have said something to management at the time. Our waitress was friendly, but couldn't really elaborate when we asked about the menu.
