The real headline here is how good the food is! You wouldn't expect it from a bar/ restaurant but the Philly rolls were something I'll remember for sure. The wings and fries were also solid, I'll be back and probably make this place one of my regular spots. Glad to have tried somewhere new, pleasant surprise & worth it. Great happy hour deals as well.

Very attentive and got us everything we need without hesitation and with a smile! I had the sirloin steak with rice, broccoli & tomatoes I had my steak medium rare and was spot on and tender. My wife had the Mushroom Swiss Burger with ground turkey. The burger was juicy and had a good covering of cheese along with lettuce, tomato & red onion. Started with the fried pickles which are served as spears with a nice crunch and deep dill flavor. Two dipping sauces (wasabi & ranch were very tasty!.

We ordered drinks and chips and salsa, but everything took quite a while to come out. By the time our actual food arrived, it was already 9:15. I did really enjoy the chips and salsa, but this is the first restaurant I've been to that does not offer free refills on them. If the wait is going to be that long, it would be nice to have something to snack on in the meantime. The atmosphere had some nice touches, especially the lemon tree, which I loved. Unfortunately, there was an on and off septic smell coming from next door that took away from the experience. For food, I ordered the chicken, steak, and pulled pork soft tacos so I could try a variety, and they were all good. My husband ordered the gator and shrimp tacos. He enjoys spice, but said the shrimp was way too spicy and ended up giving him heartburn all night, especially since the menu did not mention any heat. Our drinks were good, and I really liked the design of the menu. It was also nice having napkins already at the table, and the bathrooms were very clean. One downside was the water. I appreciated the large glass, but it tasted heavily chlorinated and was not very drinkable. Our server did apologize for the delays, which we appreciated, and overall the food felt like a good value, especially if you are going during lunch specials. With a few improvements, this place could easily be a much better experience.

I was blessed with this amazing restaurant to have right downstairs so I'm going to tell you why I think so highly of it. Atmosphere/Appearance: The restaurant is so modern, chic, bright and fun. The décor is lovely and very thought-through. The restaurant spans half of the hotel's lobby with the bar area being right near the front desk, but the dining area directly on the opposite end. There's access to outdoor seating as well if you're feeling it. Service: So throughout my stay at the hotel, Kayla, Thomas and Desiree took care of me for breakfast. They were all amazing at making me feel truly special, almost like royalty. I remember Thomas's bubbly personality, Desiree's talkative spirit and Kayla's ability to cater to everything I needed. I appreciated every one of them. Frederick took care of me at the bar for the one dinner I had and he was awesome. He made me feel like he was a friend of mine whom just happened to be working there. Lol. Food: Breakfasts first. The first thing I ever ordered were the breakfast tacos. They're warm, soft tortillas served with scrambled eggs or egg whites, (I chose traditional scrambled eggs), with a choice of bacon, sausage or chorizo, (I went with all 3), topped with shredded cheese and pico de gallo. You can get breakfast potatoes or a side of fruit to go with the 2 tacos. They were fabulous. The only thing they were missing was some sort of salsa to throw on top. The pico just wasn't enough. This dish was certainly filling. Next breakfast entrée was the Street Corn Hash, which is a bed of chorizo corn hash and black beans topped with 2 eggs of any kind (I had scrambled), cotija cheese, cream and several slices of avocado. This was DELICIOUS. The chorizo was decently spicy, the eggs were fluffy and the whole mixture went together very well. It's much less messy to eat compared to the tacos and of course... I added some hot sauce to it. Lol. Like the tacos. They just need some sauces man. My next and favorite breakfast entrée (I got it 3 times during my visit) is the Superfood Bowl. This is such a beautiful looking, sweet tasting, healthy feeling, spirit lifting dish complied of acai puree paired with coconut milk & chia seed pudding, sliced banana, shredded coconut and crunchy granola. Like I said, this was SO GOOD and literally made me feel so good throughout the entire day. So I did stop by the bar one of the evenings to check out some of the dishes and here's how that went. I tried both their Mahi Tacos and Pork Tacos since the bar was slow. Usually you get an order of 2 with one or the other, but the kitchen hooked me up with one of each. I genuinely appreciated that. Each of the tacos are are compiled of grilled corn tortillas, a red onion-lime slaw, cilantro and the meat of your choice served with a barbecue creama or ranch. They were both decent, but the mahi came out just a little dry. The pork was much better. The wings I had really aren't even worth mentioning. They were okay, but I feel like they were on the menu simply because they're a popular table appetizer. They're just fried and tossed in some sauce, not my favorite. All-in-all, the breakfast here was superior to dinner. Value: Pretty good to be honest. Nothing too crazy here and everything is worth what it's priced at. Breakfast Tacos = $11.00 Street Corn Hash = $13.00 Superfood Bowl = $14.00 Wings = $9.00 Tacos = $14.00 In conclusion, I LOVED this place for its breakfast. Even if I weren't staying here, I'd come here to have their breakfast. JUST GET SOME SALSA IN THERE! Lol.

A whole experience. A mountain of food so generous it could easily feed two people, layered like an edible masterpiece. The plate came overflowing with rice, beans, lettuce, tomato, cilantro, queso, and shredded cheese, all draped over perfectly seasoned chicken. Every bite felt warm and comforting, the kind of food that makes you pause mid‑conversation because the flavor hits you in waves. Creamy, crunchy, fresh, savory... everything balanced beautifully. I also tried the al pastor, and it was incredible. Tender, juicy, with that perfect hint of sweetness and char that makes al pastor unforgettable. You can taste the love and intention in every bite. I loved that you could see the pineapple chunks because usually places just use pineapple juice . The atmosphere was cozy, the service was kind, and the food felt like it was made by people who care. If you're anywhere near Alachua, do yourself a favor and stop here. This place deserves all the stars.

I was very satisfied with the portions, and everything is made fresh to order. Presentation is really top notch. If you can't tell, I think the place and the people are amazing.

Thanks so much Cilantro tacos team!
