    Steak burrito.
    Steve S.

    Great little Mexican restaurant in Jacksonville Beach. For the sports fan there are TV's throughout so you can catch the games while eating. Our waitress was accommodating while we figured out what's lol we wanted. Speaking of the food I tried their strawberry kiwi frozen margarita and that was delicious. A giant helping of complimentary chips and salsa that my party of three did not even finish. We all ordered different main courses, I had the steak burrito. Before the meal arrived I was offered and red and green sauces, and I accepted those, I do enjoy a little spice on my food. As for my burrito, I had to add the green and red sauce to it. It was lacking flavor. I was really surprised at how much flavor the burrito was missing. Once I added the red and green sauces the dish was perfect. I'll go back again to try their other dishes.

    I ordered a steak chimichanga through uber eats, and I really liked the way it came packaged. It was tamper proof and all the food was wrapped which I really appreciate.. The presentation was nice, I like the way everything was set up and laid out. However, I didn't like how the sauce like sour cream and guacamole were on top as it made the whole thing mushy. Overall, the food was pretty good, but idk if id order again any time soon - and i just realized i forgot to take a picture of the actual food

    Not fresh food. Drinks marginal. Meat tacos were suspect. Kinda scary.... Go elsewhere asap.

    Tonight was our first time at Oaxaca for a birthday dinner. I have to say it was amazing from start…read moreto finish. By the time we ordered the small plates and shortly after its arrival I was convinced we'd come back. Delicious! Flavorful, decadent and very fulfilling! From the Queso completo, Mexican street corn and the carnitas tamale rojo that was perfectly paired with a pickled flavored jalapeño made the dish alive and tapping with flavor dancing on the taste buds. I asked the server to surprise me between three dishes I couldn't decide from. Dom, you're amazing; kind, courteous and you really know how to make an everlasting impression so effortlessly. The star of the show was the whole grilled yellowtail chef's special with a tamarind ponzu sauce that he chose for me! What a way to wow your guest and make them feel safe with trusting the palette of the family that's working together. I have to say this dish was AMAZING, Craig (The Chef) came to greet us in the midst of our dinner, that was a first! Hands down best yellowtail. My bf doesn't even like fish and he couldn't stop from eating it and wished he'd ordered the special. It was a nice, cozy and modern space and I love the ambiance! Can't wait to come back! Thanks again Dom & Craig!!

    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.
