    My lunch #1; lots of yummy food and whole beans not pureed!
    Linda V.

    One of the book club members likes to eat at places, for our monthly meeting, that her husband does not like and it was her month to be pick so she picked La Napolera! I'm glad she did bec it was good and I had plenty to eat! Our server was a friendly sort but with 5 women why shouldn't you! After we ate we sat and talked undisturbed which was great!

    Awesome Mexican restaurant here on Kingsley Ave. lots of parking here today Friday at around 5:00 pm. Not too busy. Cool front host, professional and friendly. Got us seated right away. Our waitress, Jazlin (Hopefully I spelled it correctly). She was quick, friendly, attentive, and very kind. Excellent recommendations from here. The quality and the quantity of the plates here are good. Plenty of food for the price you pay. We also really enjoyed the scene here, very nice vibe, and cool decoration. Overall, amazing experience today. We'll have to come back here again before going back to California!

    Taco, enchilada, beans and rice.

    This is not the place to go for a high end meal. If you are looking for a quick lunch that is very tasty and budget friendly, this no is the spot to go.

    Tacos Al pastor. My fav!

    Cinco de Mayo! Very busy but seated quickly. Food took a little longer than usual but not a lot. My tacos were wonderful. Enchiladas were excellent. We were not a big fan of the rice this time but the beans were good. It was quite lively due to all the celebrating. Still a staple go to for me.

    The prices for this place were OK. You can have get a meal for 10-15 bucks and it has a lot of choices. However, there's a good amount of flies in the air and the food was tasteless. The beef tasted boiled and the tacos were terrible (didn't know tacos could be bad). Rice and beans tasted like they came out of a can. The Chile relleno tasted pretty good, but was more of a soup. Service was good and fast but way overshadowed by the poor meal.

    Nice atmosphere. Comfort. Staff welcomes you ans was excellent in answering questions. I had the Enchiladas Supreme which was very tasty. With four different enchiladas it was a taste delight. Our party enjoyed there food and prices were reasonable.

    Who goes to a crowded restaurant on Cinco de Mayo? Well me and family do lol…read more We went to Mr. Gordo's Tacos & Cantina in Fleming Island off the 17 and it was a good time. I was shocked by the wait only being at 5 minutes for 3. Yay I love that! Before we start let me sip my margarita. I had the iced peach margarita and my husband had the frozen watermelon margarita. Now the ambiance was very nice! Very colorful and bright nice paintings on the wall. People were doing karaoke the music was going and the DJ was good! I was dancing at my table and eating and having a grand ole time! We had a great server name Gus that was extremely nice and patient with us as we were deciding on what we wanted. We started off with chips and salsa and normally I'm not a big fan of salsa with chunky veggies in it but surprisingly it was good. To order my son had the kids soft chicken taco with rice and beans. My Husband was BIG HUNGRY! He had a carne asada taco salad that looked extra yummy. He also had 4 Mexican street tacos 2 of them were carne asada and the other 2 were Al pastor. Now for me.....the review you all have been waiting for lol. I had the queso-birria tacos with the consomé and rice and beans. The rice and beans were chefs kiss. The meat was good and juicy however the flavor was lacking there and with the consomé I was highly disappointed. Besides my food being underwhelming the vibes were high today at the restaurant and the service was excellent. If I'm up for it I'll give their tacos a try in the future.

    Definitely my favorite place for Mexican food on the Island. The service is always stellar and the…read morefood portions generous, fresh and delicious. I recommend starting with the Texas fries. Love the queso cheese with this appetizer. I never skip their tamales here. Consistently tasty and fresh like your abuela and aunties just made them. There's affordable lunch specials and I try to go for their specials. The Texas rice full of steak, shrimp and heavenly flavors was my most recent meal. It was great! My brother went with the Cray Cray Burrito that comes with a huge side of fries. A very generous size and delicious, too. (You know I had to take a bite!) This casual dining establishment is consistently welcoming with an professional and attentive staff. Our server, Gus, made great recommendations and we decided to go for everything he suggested. I absolutely love when the staff makes excellent suggestions. Ultimately, I am always super happy with the flavors, menu variety, the value, the service and my overall experience every time I visit. Highly recommend!

    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.

    I had been here previously and I will say the service was a complete 180°. The food was great! The…read moretacos were filled to the brim and prepped to order. Loved the uniqueness of the chorri-chicken. The place is decorated and ready for al those Instagram pictures.

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.
