    chili relleno
    Ann K.

    We've visited here several times on our way to Tyler and it has never disappointed! We've tried an array of dishes and found every one to be delicious. This visit I finally remembered to snap some pics before digging into the scrumptious meal. They are always very kind, friendly and helpful. I feel certain if you give them a try you'll be very pleased!

    Tostadas
    James F.

    Huge cross country road trip and we're finally back in Texas. Sure, we saw a few Mexican joints along the way but they ain't in my home state. After we crossed the Louisiana/Texas border and dove south we arrived at Rancho Grande for a late lunch. Combo Fajitas seemed the perfect meal for me as I wanted something heavy enough to last those last miles home.GF tackled her Tostada Plate while I made my first Beef taco with all the usual condiments. Nice flavors with the grilled onions. Buddy is tackling his HUGE Chimichanga smothered in Queso while I made my second taco with Chicken. Did I mention I got Shrimp with Lime Butter Sauce to dip in?? And I couldn't make up our my mind so a Shrimp Enchilada too. Still picking and made another taco! Finally getting full; great service start to finish. I haven't yet but should mention the salsa served with the chips. Some of the best I've ever had with a hint of chili powder. Did I have enough fuel or did I eat too much and want a nap? We made it home just fine. Highly recommended!

    Ranchero salsa and chips

    Ate here on way home from weekend trip. Did a search on Yelp and found one with good reviews. Unsuspecting from street but oh so good! We loved the queso, warm ranchero style sauce served with chips. Homemade tortillas that butter just melted on. I had veggie tostada and hubs had fajitas. Will mark this place to visit again. Staff were great as well. Friendly and good service. Inside is traditional Mexican furniture and decor. Cute stop!

    Beef Enchiladas
    Linnea K.

    I will lead with the positive and say that the Cheese Enchiladas were delicious. When I arrived I had planned to sit at the bar since I was alone, but there was a very loud obnoxious patron at the bar so I headed for the dining room. I actually felt bad for the female bartender who had to contend with this guy. I stood by myself at the front by the "Please wait to be seated" sign for probably close to 10 minutes while employees walked back and forth not making eye contact with me. When I was finally seated, I ordered my Cheese Enchiladas - they came quickly, but unfortunately were Beef Enchiladas (pictured). The waitress seemed very annoyed when I stopped her to get the order corrected, but did bring me the correct order. She never came back until it was time to pay. This place had a fairly full dining room and seemed to be popular with locals, so I would definitely give it another try if I find myself in Jacksonville again.

    Street Tacos - Beef Fajitas
    Rolando N.

    Very good Mexican food smack dab in the heart of Jacksonville. The food here is quite food and the service was excellent. The pre-meal salsa and chips were exceptional. Thin crispy chips accompanied by warm salsa. The salsa was not overly spicy and was super tasty. The flour tortillas were handmade and very tasty. The street tacos were very good as was the fajita mixta. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone in the area. The food is very authentic.

    Nachos Palenque (full order) with beef fajita meat - delicious!
    Melissa O.

    This place is seriously hit and miss, mostly the latter. The hits: warm chips and fantastic house salsa, charred and tasty beef fajita meat, carnitas plate, grilled shrimp, fresh tortillas, refried beans, abundant nachos plates (though sometimes with too much cheese), cheese puff because crunchy shell with queso is never bad. The misses: quesadillas - the crispy tortillas are nice, but they can be super greasy and they have way way... way too much cheese and skimpy almost nonexistent meat, fish taco - tiny with not enough fish and no cabbage or proper sauce, Mexican rice - bland and sometimes in clumps, carne guisada - mostly stew, not enough meat, and the sauce is not what it should be (it's made of tomatoes instead of dried chiles), fajita chicken - dry and bland, enchiladas - terrible with, yep, skimpy meat, tortillas so soggy you cannot cut into an enchilada and come up with a whole bite of anything on your fork, and awful enchilada sauces (gravy like... actual brown gravy?? and "Mexican sauce" that has no flavor). Even the non-food considerations are hit and miss - i.e., service is attentive, friendly, and accommodating, but the prices are too high for the quality and the amount of meat in most of the dishes we have ordered. I would once have given this place 4 stars, but after five visits that have consistently decreased in quality, I think we are probably, sadly, done with this place.

    We were antique shopping in Jacksonville and decided to stop for lunch. First time here, around 12:30 no wait, but parking lot was full, so it was getting busy. They do have an overflow parking on the right side of the building. Friendly staff, free chips and salsa. The salsa came out warm and was quite tasty! for the tomato capital our expectations were high. lol! Food came out within 10 mins and it was so good!! Hot hot hot plates and our food was actually hot! rice and beans came out hot. We were pleasantly happy that the food was delicious and the staff were attentive. Will definitely be coming back again!

    Authentic quality Mexican food! Homemade tortilla chips and warm salsa! The salsas are really what…read moresets a good restaurant apart from the rest. On my first visit to any Mexican restaurant, I try their green enchiladas. I feel like if a restaurant can't get green enchiladas right, I probably won't be back. Covina Mexicana nailed it! Their green enchiladas are delicious! The menu is reasonably priced, and the service was quick and helpful. Our boys loved the kid's quesadillas and the bright cozy ambience. Well done! We'll be back.

    Food was definitely made fresh & very delicious! We got the steak tacos meal with rice and beans. I…read morelove how the beans were not swimming in cheese but rather perfectly seasoned along with their red rice. I could eat just those two sides for breakfast! I got to try their delicious green salsa chilaquiles. I'm craving them now! Tacos were also delicious, steak was seasoned perfectly and could not believe when I realized their tortillas were homemade!!!! Yes!!! We will be back for sure!! Just make sure to bring cash or have the Cashapp installed on your phone. They don't tell you this when you enter, although there is a sign that is easily missed from being distracted of your surroundings. The place looks shady (on the outside) & only 2 windows can be seen BUT I promise you won't regret it!!!
