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!

I would probably go give the restaurant itself a try based on this experience. I got a Cobb salad. Keeping it simple. A minor complaint - the avocado was very minimal. I had to search DEEP in there to find a couple of cubes. That was the main reason I got the cobb salad so I was a little sad. Also, it would be super helpful if the restaurant wrote names or at the very least what the dish is on those delivery orders.

We went for dinner on a busy night, and the service was attentive throughout -- impressive given how packed it was. The tacos were delicious, and the whole experience reminded you why a neighborhood spot can become a true local favorite. I pass by regularly on my way to the gym and always notice a full parking lot -- now I completely understand why. The energy is vibrant, the food is genuinely tasty, and it leaves you wanting to come back. A easy yes for Jacksonville Beach dining.

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!

The outdoor decor can handle just a few families, and has space for couples parties under huge fans. I'm a huge fan of this place, I invited a friend about an hour after arriving to share the joy! They ordered a huge beast of a taco salad that was made with a red Doritos bowl. I thoroughly enjoyed the Arepa Bowl, I'd highly recommend that if you are like me and always crave plantains The menu is huge and yes they do have happy hour! And YES! They do have a kids menu with mendicant food on it! And YES! They do have lunch specials. Dream date!

The place…read morewas packed when we went (around 6 p.m. on a Saturday), and the atmosphere has a fun, energetic vibe. We ordered tacos, nachos, a kids' burrito, and kids' quesadillas, we got desert, it was a chocolate covered skull with ice cream, they bring out the dish and literally lit it on fire with a sparkler, looked cool, kids loved it, so if you're looking for something a little different or entertaining during dinner. So overall, the food was decent but a bit salty, and the flavor didn't really stand out. To me it had more of a chain restaurant feel, kind of like something you'd get at Chili's rather than a more authentic Mexican spot. Drinks were mixed for us. My wife had margaritas and enjoyed them, honestly I don't think she's ever met a margarita she didn't like. I tried the Old Fashioned, which just wasn't my style. It tasted more like Fireball on the rocks than a traditional Old Fashioned. One thing they definitely did right was the service. Even though the restaurant was crowded, the wait staff was friendly, attentive, and stayed on top of everything the whole time. Overall, it's a cool spot with a fun vibe and good staff. If you're looking for a lively place and want to see some flaming food presentations, it's worth checking out.

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.

We started with the complimentary chips and salsa, plus a side of queso both were delicious. My girlfriend and I ordered skinny margaritas lime which were super refreshing and really well made.

To end the night, we had their warm mexican apple pie with cinnamon, ice cream, and caramel sauce, prepared right at the table. Such a fun touch and the perfect dessert. Overall great food and drinks. I just wanted to share that the hostess named Sydney was wonderful. She greeted us with a smile and made me and my party feel comfortable. Keep it up Sydney!

Today my daughter and I went to visit my mom and get her out of the nursing home for a bit and went…read moreto lunch right up the road. 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!

Would be happy to go back!

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.
