    So many great choices!
    Dawn M.

    I know this restaurant is in the food court of the Orange Park Mall but man, oh man! To look at their menu you would think it's a legit sit down Mexican restaurant! From Chimichangas to huevos rancheros, and everything in between. I had a Beef Chimichanga, it was delicious. They have 4 desserts at least! Flan, churros, etc. They offer 4 different types of meat in their dishes. The prices were low to fair, a great deal really. I can't wait to go back. The only thing I would have them change is to offer more types of hot sauces. I'm going to the mall more often for sure!

    I almost turned around when I realized this place was in the food court of the Orange Park mall. But I tried it anyway and glad I did. The tacos were delicious and they cooked them fresh on the grill right in front of you. Two Mexican dudes behind the counter speaking Spanish to each other but completely comfortable speaking English with me. The cilantro, onions and tomatoes were freshly cut and the provided hot sauce put the icing on the cake for me. Please give this place a shot. It's really good.

    Sope and street corn were just perfect! They had flavor and the green sauce also has flavor. Will definitely come back!

    Love this place. Can't say enough about one of my top two restaurants to go to in Green Cove…read moreSprings. Service is always friendly and prompt. If you come during the middle of the day, there's a happy hour you can take advantage of. They also have daily specials to include both food and alcoholic beverages. If you're interested in deliver or takeout, I've seen them extend the Taco Tuesday special on Uber Eats as well for those days where you can't get to the restaurant itself. The restaurant can get a little busier Friday and weekend nights. The food itself is above average for standard Mexican-American fare. Personally, I love their street tacos consisting of a variety of different meats of your choice. The Mariachi Burrito and their birria-related offerings are also excellent choices. Every table comes with a free serving of their fresh chips and tasty homemade salsa. As for drinks, there's an abundance of choices from Mexican coke and a ton of different margaritas. When it's finally time to go, they offer the ability to pay by phone in addition to having the server process the card. It makes getting out a ton easier. With that being said, give this place a shot. I've tried most of their nearby competitors at this point, and they don't compare.

    We came here on Wednesday evening. We didn't make a reservation. Place was so full of people…read more Ambiance was great, modern, pleasant, spacious and inviting. Service was pleasant, helpful and attentive. Food was very good. We got complimentary chips and salsa. Which was great. We also had guacamole and mussels to start. Both were delicious. I had a salad with bc chicken and husband had enchiladas with chicken. Portion was huge and they were amazing, I also had a mocktail that was delicious and it was made specifically for me, since I didn't want anything too sweet and they were able to make a really good drink! We had a toddler with us who loved the mussels and guacamole.

    The ambiance to this place is so cute and the food looks amazing so we really wanted to like it! I…read morehave to be honest, it was really underwhelming :( every single thing we ordered lacked flavor... its like nothing was properly seasoned or salted. Being from California i know we are spoiled when it comes to mexican food, but things just didnt really make sense either. There was absolute no fun in the queso fundido. I ordered a California burrito and the fries were outside the burrito... plus no gauc?! Thats like a crime lol and not a true California burrito. My parents ordered an expensive steak and it was mostly gristle and fat and only came with a small side of rice, no veggies or anything. Not a complete $50 meal in our eyes... and lastly the chile relleno is my grandmas fave meal, but it was nothing like she'd ever had before and not really in a good way. The drinks were decent and our server was helpful with the gluten free options, but overall it was a super disappointing experience.

I ordered the 3-taco lunch special. But I should have given my taco's some thought. I got 1 fish (I should have gotten this in a soft shell) the 904 taco and the one night, with ground beef. The chips, I felt like they came right out of the oil, freshly fried. The taco shells, I think they came out of a box or bag! Now that that's out of the way! I'm not on the West Coast! The fish on the fish taco was good, but I felt like I just wanted some tartar sauce and some fries. It wasn't a good fit for the taco to me. and again, I put it on the wrong tortilla. The skirt steak taco, the meat wasn't very tender, and not much flavor. The only sauce I had was the salsa, so that helped out this taco and the ground beef taco as well. Now, I was really surprised, the ground beef taco (one night taco) stole the show. It was seasoned well, and it was just good! I just wish the taco shells were better. This is a good hang out spot, they offer 2 for 1 drinks YESSSSS! So a great spot to hang out with friends and family. I didn't get to enjoy that part! But I think I will check it out one of these days.
