When we arrived, it was very busy, but there was places for people to sit. It's Tuesday lunch hour. There was at least three groups of 8+ tables multiple booths with 2 to 4 people there was plenty of open seats at the bar. I would say from ordering to sitting down our food arrived probably in five minutes. It was so quick. And the quickness did not take away from the deliciousness. The food was fresh, and Tasty we will definitely return! For the margarita lovers ...They offer Full bar and they had margaritas listed for buy one get one from 11 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday!

Well, LOVE the Elvis decor! The chips and salsa are thin & crispy, and comes with a bonus creamy jalapeño dip that's like a Supa-ranch dip. The chips and tortillas are made fresh each day. The green chile rice is delicious as well. Great restaurant! Jason was a superb server... fast and reliable!

Their salsa and their creamy jalepeno is made fresh and delicious. Their chips are made onsite, as are their tortillas. Their tortillas in their enchiladas are sooo good. The ambiance is great. The restaurant is very clean, and the servers are very nice. Check it out!

This place was amazing! After years of driving by and wondering why are all those people waiting…read moreoutside the restaurant, I finally understand! We came for a quick impromptu Taco Tuesday date night, as we were trying to eat at another restaurant near that had a long wait time. We were quoted 20 minutes to be seated when we arrived but were pleasantly surprised when we got the text that our table was ready only after 5 minutes of waiting. The waitress was friendly, and helpful with the menu with us as first timers. Chips, salsa and queso all came out super quick! Better than that, our food came out quick as well! And the food was amazing!!!! I had three tacos ( Blackened Mahi, Blackened Shrimp, & Filet Mignon) that blew my mind. I have been thinking about these tacos ever since I had them, trying to plan my next visit. The margaritas are great as well, not watered down like a lot of these other Mexican spots! Tacolu has a lifetime customer out of me!

Drink menu was very helpful also Decided on the house margarita and the Rojas which are the brisket stacked enchiladas. Had it with a side of Mexican street corn. Candyce had the build your own quesodilla. Both were very stuffed. And very tasty. Very noisy inside and very lively We'll probably be back.

We walked into Cantina Louie and were seated right away. Our waiter came over immediately with…read morechips and salsa, took our drink order, and brought everything out quickly. The salsa was SO good fresh, flavorful, and paired with some of the best chips I've had in a while. Not long after we ordered, our son's kids meal came out super fast. He said his quesadilla was really good cheesy and full of flavor and he loved the beans and rice too. I didn't even get a picture because he started eating it right away. I ordered the birria tacos and they were delicious loaded with meat and cheese and packed with flavor. The pickled onions added the perfect touch, and the avocado sauce really brought it all together. I'd absolutely recommend this dish. My husband got the steak and chicken fajitas, and they were full of flavor with huge portions on the side. He was definitely happy with his choice. Our waiter was super attentive and kept checking in on us and our drinks throughout the meal. He even gave us chips and salsa to go, which was a huge plus. I had skipped out on Cantina Louie before, but after this visit they're quickly becoming one of my go-to Tex-Mex spots here in Jacksonville!

Looking for a good Mexican place to eat after a workout and stumbled upon this AMAZING Mexican…read morerestaurant in Jacksonville beach area! And must I say this was the most amazing Mexican food I had ever tasted ( I've heard the south having good Mexican food but this was my first time trying it ) !

Again the chicken was cooked to perfection not dry with lots of flavour ! And my friend got the steak tacos !

So take it from us this is a must stop if your in the area and wants some good Mexican food ! Overall 10/10 for service food the staff was very friendly and constantly checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed . and the ambiance was great for getting drinks and food with friends/ family . The decor was amazing and they iPad menus which I thought was very cool !

Waitstaff and bartenders were very helpful and nice.

We went knowing that they would likely be super busy and adjusted our expectations accordingly. The parking lot was full, but their location has several adjacent parking lots that easily accommodate that. Luckily we were sat at a table in less than 30 mins. Service was slower as we expected for the day. We were able to give our food orders with our drink orders. The food was delicious and served nice and hot. They had a chips and salsa runner that was refilling tables pretty consistently. This was both good and bad... Good because chips, bad because I ate too many! I think we had 4 basket refills! They had a DJ in the outside seating area, a FREE photo booth, and several specials on the menu for the day. It was a fun and lively event and at one point they were offering shots to people. I happily took one! I have been on a regular day as a party of two and a party of 8 and have had fast and friendly service every time.

Highly recommend them. It's the first time we had the lemon berry cake for dessert and it was absolutely incredible! I think this is the best dessert that this restaurant has to offer!

My mom has always enjoyed Lola's Burrito & Burger Joint since they first opened and my daughter was craving their empanadas. Today's meal: Mom ordered a beef empanada (by suggestion of her granddaughter) and a side order of black beans (she's always loved black beans). My daughter, of course, order a beef empanada as well with a Mexican Street Corn on the side. Her two favorite items from here. She will literally get this every single time we come. I've been craving burgers, especially since all the fast food CEO's are "fighting" over who has the crappiest, I mean best, burger. I've never had a burger from Lola's before so today I chose the Ragin Cajun burger and I loved it. I do prefer a smash burger, but Lola's patty is a thick and juicy patty cooked to your likeness (I chose medium). Topped with bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and a Cajun ranch dressing. This burger was delicious. I have my favorite burgers in Jax, and this can sit in that top 5 for sure. I will definitely be more open to trying other burgers from their menu in the future, but generally speaking, if you don't know, I'm addicted to tacos and tacos are usually my "goto" here. If you haven't had a burger from Lola's and enjoy a nice beefy patty, highly recommend giving them a shot. They have a variety of different ones to choose from. Oh! I almost forgot... the French fries! I usually get chips and queso here, but opted for a side of fries today and man, their fries are great! They use the same seasoning that comes on their chips on the fries and they were cooked and seasoned perfectly and then topped with some parmesan cheese. Good stuff!

My Steak quesadilla was filled generously with meat and well balanced with flavors and spices. The staff was also overall attentive, with just a bit of time between needed drink refills. Would be happy to go back!

My favorite taco spot in Jacksonville!…read more I always order the carne asada tacos--they never disappoint. I've been coming here for years, and it's been so nice to watch this place grow and expand while still staying true to what made it special in the first place. Everyone is always so nice and welcoming. Even with the growth, the atmosphere still feels welcoming and homey, and the food tastes just as good as I remember. The taco prices have gone up over the years, but the quality and flavor make them well worth it. If you're craving authentic, flavorful tacos, this is definitely a spot you need to try.

The rice was very dry, but squeezing some hot sauce on top helped make it edible. My daughter ordered a chicken quesadilla, but she didn't like the cheese, so it went mostly uneaten. The service, like the chips and salsa, was average at best. I should probably give El Castillo 3 stars instead of 4, but that's how good the tacos were.
