    Steak & Shrimp Fajitas!
    Lisa O.

    Good service. The food is delicious. Get the green rice and the street corn. Wish they could make a real margarita though. Don't make a special trip but if you're in the area, it's worth the stop.

    We are Mexican and Tex Mex junkies. We came upon this place with a gps search and we're glad we did. Actually it didn't come up on the search, maybe to new, gps hasn't been updated in a while. Two other restaurants came up but both were closed. Lucky for us. Plenty of parking, the decor is fantastic, and the food is creative, fresh , and very good. If you are looking for standard fare Mexican food, large portions, heavy on the cheese this may not be your place. But I would encourage you to try it anyway. Our server was Christina, upbeat, helpful, attentive and not hoovering. Ann had a burrito that was delicious I had tacos very good. The sides put this place over the top to a 5 star review. I could make a meal of the Mexican rice and the refried beans. Not sure how they built such flavour into the refried beans but they were the best I have ever had and I have had many. Ann said the Margaritas were great. We sat in the booths that were built in and very comfortable we were eyeing the patio seating and will try that next visit, oh yes we will be back. Heads up if you want to have Christina to serve you make your stop evenings or weekends. We might see you there.

    First of all I apologize for waiting so long to complete this review sometimes life gets in the way of life! My wife took me here on the evening of March 15th we did come a little late but were seated and attended to quickly. Upon arrival we found ample parking both in the lot and street side along NW 1st Ave. approaching from the corner in through the lot I noticed a two post stand with a menu and speaker on it, however I forgot to ask if they had a drive through of sorts although I did not see anything that would be such. The restaurant is situated in a former home that has been redone and transformed into a really nice and functional venue. Our drink chips and house salsa was brought out quickly and I requested a sample of their house salsa verde I was pleasingly impressed with it great flavor and ample heat with great body I could have drank a quart of it! The staff appeared quite knowledgeable of the menu as well as the cooking style of the chef of the kitchen. My Wife ordered the Brisket dinner special with the street corn and the Spanish rice she was very satisfied with her meal. Me on the other hand I ordered the Baja Shrimp Tacos with street corn and black beans. I felt that the tacos were great although I would like to have had a little cilantro in them the portion size was more than adequate though. The street corn is definitely the star of the show for me and the beans, the beans were basically beans dumped from a can with no soul and completely devoid of any passion for the greatness of what this simple staple of Tex-Mex cuisine is and can be. I talked with my server about the beans and she sent the owner herself to the table I was very impressed that she, Ellen, took the time to discuss my meal with me and offered to comp the entire bill I declined her offered I really enjoyed talking with her and I will return when it's not just before closing and the kitchen isn't in the wind down mode. Before leaving Ellen brought a complimentary dish to me to have at home Chicken Enchilada Suizas all I can say is OMG what a pleasant surprise absolutely amazing so full of flavor and happiness this will definitely be a target in my next visit. I gave them five stars, yes I was disappointed with my black beans however with the direct customer support from the not only the wait staff but the owner herself and especially the gift of the Chicken Enchilada Suizas showed me that this place has so much more to offer than what one would gather from a simple visit for a late meal. I will certainly return and I hope that y'all will give them a try as well. Be sure and try the salsa verde and take a moment to speak with Ellen if she is available she's a great owner and very involved.

    Rice is dry taco is laughable for the price.

    The tacos are pretty good. The rice is a little bit dry. Other than that it was good food.

    There are three things that make this place stand out in a sea of Mexican restaurants. 1. Service…read more- From the first time we came in, weeks after they opened, we found a unique feature. Every employee is considered your server. Yes, you'll have a primary, but you'll be asked several extra times if there is something you need, or to take dishes out of the way. At first it was a little annoying, but we've learned to love this excellent service. Then you will find there are some exceptional personalities that emerge. Our favorite is Leydis, but all the servers are well trained and work hard to make your visit special. Leydis' husband Orli is frequently the bar tender. For a special treat, try his "Margarita Fresca" made with fresh squeezed juices. 2. Decor - The restaurant is decorated with a vast range of hand carved furniture, which we learned is sourced from Tonola, a suburb of Guadalajara. As I understand it, the owner of the furniture factory is a partner on the restaurant as well, so there is some exceptional art. Be sure to wander a little while you can. 3. Food, there is a wonderful variety of choices, including some I'm sure you've never heard of. They do a great job on the molcajete. We have our "go to" dishes, including one they specialize just for me, but I encourage all to experiment. Two more special things to consider. First, we come a lot on Tuesdays in part to take advantage of Taco Tuesday (see photo). At $1.99 each, it's a better price than even fast food tacos, and you get these beasts instead. Second, be sure to ask for the hot salsa sampler. Each has a very unique flavor, but a manageable 'bite'. I think they should feature this, and include information on the origins of each flavor. *Absolutely* the best in Lake City, and our favorite anywhere in the states that we have visited. Well worth the trip for us (we drive 30 miles every week to go).

Apps came out quickly and hot. The fried squash was cornmeal coated and lightly fried. Tasted very fresh and not over cooked at all. The grouper bites were amazing. Fried nuggets of grouper with a citrus slaw on top. Slaw did not overpower the fish and it was cooked to perfection. The bread was not bad but unremarkable compared to the apps. The main courses. Ribeye with baked potato, roasted cauliflower with a Parmesan cream along with fish and chips, subbed the fries for sweet potato puffs. Steak was tender and perfectly grilled. Cauliflower was piping hot, creamy and not overcooked. The fish was very good and plentiful. Lightly crusted and the sweet potato puffs were very light and flavorful. Couldn't eat it all. Got a desert to go, key lime Carlotta very tasty as well, light and not overly sweet. Great way to finish off the meal. Will be back.

So, they sort of have an eclectic "chef's menu", if you will, mixed with sushi and Asian bowls, a few Cajun offerings, expense account steakhouse steaks, and even a Mexican restaurant out back, Ella Cocina; all promising an elevated, higher experience by the look and feel of things. We really enjoyed the food. Sushi was very good. French dip with roasted parmesan cauliflower was very good. Same for the flounder fish and shrimp, somebody here can cook. Spoonful of slaw was delicious. So, no drafts (bottles only) and something or other about a machine mixes up their libations for them, so they couldn't make a Bloody Mary on the fly because it wasn't programmed into their menu. Whatever the case, we really enjoyed the food and ambiance.

    We found Las Carretas Mexican Restaurant in Gainesville through a last-minute Facebook Valentine's…read moreDay event, and WOW what a surprise! The event said no reservations needed, so we showed up not realizing how popular it would be. The place was PACKED with a line out the door! Even so, we only waited about 25 minutes for a table on Valentine's Day, which honestly wasn't bad at all considering the crowd. We went specifically for their Valentine's special: 2 margaritas, fajitas for two, and dessert, such a great deal! The margaritas were delicious. We ordered the Rita sampler and the blueberry margarita tasted like blueberry pie, so fresh, organic, and absolutely yummy. We also ordered homemade guacamole, which was delectable, paired with fresh, crispy homemade chips. Our fajitas included steak, pork, chicken, and shrimp, and everything was cooked to perfection. The flavors were incredible!!! And can we talk about the restaurant itself? It's HUGE! It felt like one of those multi-level Times Square NYC restaurants, with multiple floors and even outside patio seating. It was like a magic trick walking through it! Our waitress, Lia, was fantastic, attentive, helpful, and so sweet despite how busy it was. The staff worked incredibly hard all night and it showed. Plentiful parking, amazing food, great atmosphere. We will definitely be back to this hidden gem we didn't even know existed in town. Thank you for making our Valentine's Day special after a long day of yard work
