Great Food, Fast Service, and a Friendly Team…read more We visited El Indio in Newberry/Steeplechase expecting a long wait because of how popular this place is, but we were pleasantly surprised. Despite the crowd, we were seated pretty quickly, and the entire staff was incredibly friendly, efficient, and clearly knows how to handle a busy restaurant. We tried the surf and turf tacos, taquitos, and burritos, along with the house margaritas. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and tasty. The house margaritas were especially good, and the black salt around the rim was a nice touch. What really stood out was how smoothly everything ran. Even with a crowd, the staff stayed friendly, attentive, and organized. Great food, great margaritas, and a team that knows how to handle a crowd. We'll definitely be back!

The…read morefamily was so hardworking and nice that I knew I had to come back and actually try their food! I'm glad I amped this place up so much to my husband because it DID NOT disappoint. I have some dietary restrictions, so don't mind my steak tacos only having cheese and tomato, but those homemade soft taco shells were the icing on the taco cake! These are probably the best tacos I've ever had in my entire life. My second favorite would be this little tiny family spot way back home in New Bedford, Massachusetts, just to give you a taco spectrum here!!! Seriously, WOWZERS. They also give you unlimited chips and salsa, which we SUPER appreciated, especially compared to another place we recently went where they cut you off! Their homemade salsa had the perfect balance of spice without being too spicy. I could have kept eating it! My husband and I had such a great date night, and our waitress and the rest of the staff were super attentive. As an art major, I also absolutely LOVE the theming and culture throughout the restaurant. So much of it is beautifully hand carved and hand painted. My personal favorite was the sunflower chair because I love my garden at home! This place is a MUST DO if you're in town and in the mood for some sit-down tacos, because afterward you seriously won't stop taco-bout it!

I went here again for dinner at it wasn't too far from my hotel. I came around 7:30 on a Saturday,…read moreand was seated immediately. I had the Jose Cuervo margarita, which was fine for 8 dollars. Not as strong as some other restaurants in Orlando, but not going to complain for 8 bucks. The scallop quesadilla was decently sized for one person. It had a fair amount of bay scallops, peppers, onions, and tomatoes. The sauce was pretty good too, and adding hot sauce helped with the heat. The guacamole salad was enjoyable too, but the as sour cream tasted standard. For 15 dollars, the scallop quesadilla was worth it! For dessert, the chocolate cake flan was alright for 8 dollars. It was a bit rich and I couldn't finish it all, but it was a sweet enough to enjoy. The service was pretty fast. My food and drink came pretty quickly. My server was friendly and very good. She checked up on me a couple times. The atmosphere is the same as last time, but a lot less crowded. It was pretty quiet for a Saturday, but at least there was some music in the background. Of course, if you saw the photos from last time, you knew what I did before I left. For the price paid, I still think it's a good Mexican restaurant. I know there are better ones nearby, but the atmosphere is still enjoyable. I will try some other Mexican restaurants next time, but I can still recommend Las Margaritas for decent Mexican food in Gainesville. Overall: B

Our favorite Mexican!…read more We continue to be impressed over and over as the food here is amazing. Everything is so fresh and delicious and not greasy like a lot of Mexican restaurants. Every taco is fabulous, especially the pork belly. The entrees are great. Highly recommend the salmon or blackened mahi. Gluten free options are marked on the menu. The drinks are also incredible and I highly recommend the prickly pear margarita.

Our server was Brandon, who was an absolute delight! He was so energetic, so friendly, and gave great suggestions. We started with drinks. I had a skinny margarita and my husband had a Frida (top shelf margarita) and our son had a Coke. First thing we ordered was the chips and salsa. The chips were perfect, not too thin and not too thick. They came with two salsas. Both were tasty. Not sure if there is a spicier option but we will check next time. I ordered the Birria tacos. They were so delicious! So much flavor! The avocado tomatillo salsa was perfect with it. My husband ordered the Al Pastor tacos. It was very traditional Al pastor. He loved the black beans. His words were " these are the best black beans I have ever had!" Our son ordered the chorizo tacos. First, I have never seen chorizo tacos offered in a Mexican restaurant. Secondly, they were amazing! To finish, I ordered the banana pudding and our son ordered the churro sundae. Both desserts were delicious. The portions were huge! All in all I say Nopal is quite the gem. Perfect portions and dishes that are packed with flavor. And service that goes above and beyond. We can't wait to go back. We will ask for Brandon!!!

The place was completely packed, which honestly was expected for the holiday. We were originally told about a 20 minute wait, but after around 35 minutes, we finally went back up to check in and were seated at pretty much the only table available... right next to the DJ. At that point, though, I was so hungry that I honestly did not even care. We are more of an "old vibes" couple anyway, so we just rolled with it. The DJ even came over and let us know there were only a few more songs left, which I appreciated. Our waitress came over while dealing with what basically turned into a full dance party inside the restaurant, and she was honestly so incredibly nice the entire night. We told her we didn't mind the loud music at all because everyone seemed to be having a great time. She quickly got our drinks started, and honestly, I believe mine was some sort of pineapple and Hypnotiq margarita, but I was so exhausted that I completely forgot to take menu photos. For food, I ordered steak tacos with just cheese and tomato on flour tortillas, and wow... I genuinely think these were some of the best tacos I have ever had. We were seriously impressed. Overall, I would have easily given them five stars if it were not for the long wait, which honestly did not entirely feel like their fault considering how crazy busy the night was. I also would not mark them down for the vibe because, while loud, everyone was clearly having fun and celebrating. It was a long night, but the energy was great, the staff stayed positive under pressure, and I finally got to celebrate Cinco de Mayo the right way! PS Thank you for giving me an extra tee shirt! I'll be wearing it on our next cruise!

After a day of hopping around various places in Gainesville, we decided to stop here to eat dinner…read moreat the recommendation of the local family we were spending the day with. They have eaten here previously, but this was my first time as I am not from the area! Peppers is located right on W Newberry Road in a shopping complex. It is a standalone building with dedicated parking. We visited on a Thursday evening in July, and had no trouble locating the restaurant or finding a parking spot. On this particular day, there were people eating in but it was not overwhelmingly crowded. When we entered, we were seated right away. There were five of us total in the group, and we sat in a booth in the rear part of the building. There is booth seating, tables, and a bar. Upon being seated, we were served complimentary chips and salsa for the table. We were served two baskets since it was a larger party, and we able to get refills upon request. Some us us took advantage of the special that was advertised on the white board near the host stand, which was 2 for 1 Drinks. This included House Margaritas, Draft Beer, Pina Coladas, and Daiquiris. My fiance and I ordered two margaritas - him the Mango and myself the Watermelon. They were good, especially considering they were BOGO. I am not sure if we had to specify, but I noticed that other tables had much larger glasses than what we were served. I thought that is what we were ordering, but it is not what came out. Not a huge deal, but if you are wanting the larger size it might be best to specify. All of our food came out extremely fast. I was quite surprised with this, and it makes me wonder what the actual process is for preparing the food. It was all hot and prepared as it should have been, but I doubt a lot of it is made fresh to order. Personally, I ordered the Make Your Own Combo with Mozzarella Chile Relleno, Shredded Chicken Enchilada, and the Beef Burrito. I thought this was one of the better bangs for your buck on the entire menu. My favorite of the three items was the Mozzarella Chile Relleno, but nothing was terrible. My fiance ordered the Carnitas. He liked it, but it was not anything over the top or special in comparison to other carnitas dishes. The others we dined with also enjoyed their meals! I thought the pricing here was somewhat high, but not anything crazy. They had a lunch menu, which might be a good way to save a few dollars if you are looking to try out the restaurant. They had several different weekly specials, including the drink one we participated in, so that is another way to make your dollar stretch. Our service was okay - it was not bad, but not spectacular. All of the staff that we interacted with were nice and helpful when needed. Overall, we had a satisfactory experience dining here for the first time. Personally, I did not think it was anything unique or exceptionally delicious that I would seek out to eat here on a regular basis. However, nothing was necessarily bad, and I would recommend stopping if you are in the area and wanting some Mexican cuisine!
