    This is one helluva burrito! The steak is juicy and it is packed with everything! Had the birria tacos and a chile relleno! All good!
    Ms. M.

    Amazing! Everything was delish! Steak was tender! Chile Relleno perfect! My son loved the birria tacos! Can't wait to come for Happy Hour! This place is fun, inviting and the service was fabulous!

    Arroz de pollo

    Easy 5 stars, especially after the last taco joint that was in this same spot. First- family owned and operated- with decades of restaurant experience (Casa Leon in Mayport). Second, the food is amazing, no rumbly tummies later- delicious. Third is service- family owned and operated, we met the sisters on our visit. I love personal connections with local small businesses- yes, please come tell me about your mom making tamales when she comes in or tell me about spending a month in Mexico before starting this new restaurant! Did I mention all the art? The murals are fabulous throughout! John will have to try the sauce bar next time. Highly recommend! I had the Arroz de pollo- cheesy, full of flavor and juicy chicken. John had the chimichonga and cleaned his plate. We will be back- I want tacos! and I want to try some desserts!

    I thought this was a grab and go taco spot, but turns out it's a generic mexican restaurant. Service, food & drink were fine, nothing wowed me. The veggie quesadilla was kinda greasy and my husband said his tacos were bland. It is a good spot for a large group of people.

    Stopped by to try out the new place. Wow!! All the new tables, chairs, stools, wall art, and amazing smell from the kitchen. This place is going to be amazing. They have lots of options on the menu. From a la cart, to lunch, and entrees. This place has selection for everyone.

    We visited after the soft opening and a night before the grand opening. Their vegetarian menu has empanadas which is refreshing change from other Mexican restaurants in town. A lot don't offer veggie empanadas. I ordered a side of Mexican rice. The food was delicious and filling. Sadly, I had to avoid spicy food during my visit so I couldn't make use of the salsa bar.

    A friend of mine decided we should try this place last night and wow, it deserves more than five stars! We walked in were greeted and seated by our waiter Caesar. He was very friendly and attentive. The decor is authentic to Mexico. They have a large bar and plenty of seating . I wanting to have Mole- a rich, traditional sauce from Mexico, renowned for its deep, multi-layered flavors. It was the best I have tried. My friend had a chicken taco with Mexican rice .The serving were large.The Margarita was very refreshing and not bad for $5 HH. I highly recommend checking this place out.

    We had a chance to stop by the newly opened Don taco Leon on Kernan Blvd, these are the original owners of Casa Leon in Mayport. The inside decor is beautiful with handcrafted murals on the wall. We started off with complimentary chips and salsa which included a nice variety of different salsa that you can choose from from their salsa bar. We decided to have some tacos, steak and grilled chicken which were seasoned well, and had a great amount of meat in the tacos. We will definitely be back to try some of our other favorite dishes, the service was great and on point being family owned is always a plus.

    This place is THE GEM of Jacksonville. You can't find better authentic Mexican food than this and to top it off the owners are amazing people. Will recommend this place any chance I get!

    Birria Tacos

    If you haven't tried Don Taco Leon, you need to! Fantastic service, vibe, and even better food. I had the Birria tacos and they did not disappoint!

    I can't recommend this speakeasy high enough. You must get reservations on RESY. Just go. Now…read more Don't wait to experience this awesome tiny place. Their cocktails are superb and very high-quality. The service is absolutely the best in the entire city that I have ever experienced. Not only was everybody friendly, but they were super excited about their experience and their products and were very willing to answer questions and provide any guidance we wanted. During our 90 minute visit, I'm certain they stopped at our table 4 or five times to check on us. It was not intrusive, it was part of the experience. We were blown away. When we left, our bill was reasonable, we felt we had a high-quality night out, and we made plans to 100% come back much more often. I just can't rate this place higher or speak more highly of it. Truly worthy of five stars. Thank you, Mayport Garden Club, for the justice that you do to your patrons, the world of tiki, and craft cocktails! Oh - food came from the pizza baker next door at Reve brewing. It had a slight burnt taste (wood fired? Coal fired?) but wasn't bad overall. The cocktails and great service and atmosphere are front-and-center here!!

    Immaculate. Stunning. Great Vibes. Stumbled upon this some…read moreIG posts , took a chance and walked in. While reservations are required, Laura the owner , was gracious enough to let us get transported to this wonderful place you see here. First off, this place is everything! The details from ceiling to wall to all the fixtures, it's very immersive, you are in the islands sir or ma'am! Goodbye Jacksonville! We were seated up front where performer Kalani Rose set the mood and infused the air with her lovely voice. The tempo was upbeat, the volume was just right, allowing for intimate conversation and lively chatter alike. Great for date nights and group outings. We ordered food including Aloha Sliders, Huli Huli Wings , and Furikake Fries. Food was good, would've loved more of the glaze on the mini burgers tho! The drinks we ordered included Mai Tai (rum based w/ orange ) and Halekulani (bourbon with pineapple orange and lemon) , these were delicious. A bit on pricey side but strong! But, you're paying for the presentation and the atmosphere! If you've ever been to the old tiki lounge off baymeadows from years past, this one is much better! The entire staff is so cool. Like really chill. Hubby and I really enjoyed our visit here! I'll bring the ladies next time!

They had a pineapple salsa on them and the flavors were so perfect together. Non alcoholic it was an acquired taste I'd give it a 4 sweet but not to sweet. Spam rice was about a 2, it was salty for me. I wasn't too much of a fan. Will return to check out the ambiance.
