This place has great reviews and fully booked ahead of time so our expectations were high when we…read moremade our reservation. They're only available on the weekends after 5PM and we had to wait a month to go. Yelpers were raving about their Ragu dish. Their menu is very limited and by looking at the pictures, that Ragu definitely caught my eye. I'm a meat eater and this plate has chunks of beef so I ordered it. Come to find out, they change the meat and pasta often so the meat they put in Ragu that night was ground beef (like bolognese) and the pasta was the large macaroni type. Very disappointed to say the least. Steak chunks in parpadelle pasta just like what they served prior would have been five stars! My wife's pasta dish was also changed to gnocchi which she didn't care for. We definitely went on a wrong night, but what can you do if your reservation is still a month away? The only thing I enjoyed was the tiramisu. Light and not too sweet. Service was slow although our server was friendly and accommodating. Mamasamas is only available for dinner and maybe because it's cooler at night. The place had fans running throughout and windows open. Not sure if it has air conditioning.

Mamasama is only open from Friday to Sunday only. so we made the reservation a month before because…read morethey are always fully booked. We arrived and was glad they have ample parking. It was quite loud outside but it wasn't when we went inside. Here was our experience: Service- slow and not very attentive. When we arrived, we waited for a few minutes without being acknowledged but the staff definitely saw us. It's a small restaurant and it's hard to miss the people coming in. After receiving our drinks, we were ready to order but our server immediately left us. Usually after serving drinks, they would ask if we are ready to order or if we need more time to check the menu. He did neither. So we were left waiting again. We had to call his attention to order. Food - we ordered the bread (Pane Fresco), it was supposedly baked fresh so I was expecting it to be warm, it was not. They did provide another basket that was warmed. The burrata was good but not great. I enjoyed my husband's Ragu, you can really tell that the pasta was house made, it was cooked Al dente, delicious but small portion for the price. I was disappointed with my order. Arrabbiata is one of my favorite sauces and although it was tasty, I did not particularly like the gnocchi. This is probably the first time I did not finish a dish in a while. The highlight of our dinner was the Tiramisu. It was rich and creamy, I would recommend ordering this. I noticed that the menu changes when I checked Yelp prior to coming here. But the only difference would be the type of meat and pasta they use in the Ragu and Arrabbiata. Overall, not a great experience but would give them another try in the future.

I was thrilled to see this truck incidentally as we were looking for another truck. I decided to…read morechange my plans and get something from Taste of Korea instead and I'm glad that I was able to try it. I got the regular doshirak, which was essentially a large bento box. I opted for beef bulgogi and it came with rice, a fried dumpling, japchae, kimchi, pickled veggies, Korean rolled egg, bean sprouts, and a couple of other sides. The food was ready faster than the 15 minutes quoted, which was great. I enjoyed the bulgogi. It was tender and had good flavor. The pickled veggies and kimchi were the most flavorful sides. I also liked the japchae. The dumpling was too greasy, as evidenced by the grease in the wrapper and the egg and rice didn't have much flavor. The egg needed salt. I really wanted - and should've ordered - the Korean hot dog...next time. This place has great customer service and packaging. It's a bit pricey at $20 for what you get or for comparable options, which are within the $15-17 range.

Whether they were small versions of actual vehicles in production, or crazy dragsters or monster themed or anything else the wizards at Mattel could come up with, I wanted them all. You know what I didn't really want or collect as a kid? Trucks. Sorry Tonka. But I just didn't care about dump trucks or bulldozers or big rigs. And you know what, I kind of felt that way as an adult about food trucks. I mean, to me they were fine, but like my penchant for hot wheels in the past, I'd rather go to a sit down restaurant. Yeah, well Taste of Korea has me rethinking my food truck aversion! Located in a pretty ordinary parking lot on Beach Blvd, this is definitely a little food truck that can deliver some fantastic food! The guy taking orders is super friendly and patient as a noob like me tried to figure out what to order. Ultimately went with the Premium Doshirak, the bibimbap and the kimbap. For both the doshirak and the bibimbap I got the bulgogi beef for the protein. On the kimbap I tried the ham. All were excellent. The Doshirak is a cool box filled with banchan - small side dishes, and cooked rice. The banchan include Kimche, Japchae, fried dumplings and some cool desserts. The blogs is excellent and all of the banchan tasted great. I thought the eggplant was a little mushy but the flavor was still really good. Bibimbap flavor was excellent as well. The only downside is that the rice at the bottom doesn't get all crunchy from being cooked at the bottom of the hot bowl. But it was a minor issue to me. And the kimbap was super fresh. The ham wasn't overpowering and it was a nice change from getting role bulgogi in the kimbap as well. The only wish I have is more variation on the proteins for the dishes we got. But the food is super tasty and I look forward to going back to try the fried chicken and well, anything else on the menu. Maybe I'll bring a matchbox car or two to help pass the time while waiting for the food!

It's tucked behind the 76 gas station on Blanding Blvd and has an outdoor area for dining. Super cute area with colorful decorations in the dining area! They even have a hand wash station to clean your hands too! Parking wasn't an issue when we went around 11am on a Sunday. The ladies working there were super sweet, happy, and made sure we were taken care of! We had the following: Birria tacos: 9/10 - I've had plenty of Birria tacos and these were one of the best ones I've had! I don't like soggy Birria tacos, where they don't grill the tortilla for a crispier texture. They did it just right here and the tacos came out fresh, hot, crispy, with a lime and good amount of consume (dipping sauce) on the side. As soon as I bit into one, it was game over! The consume was packed full of flavors and you can taste the heartiness of the broth and fresh herbs and the meat was so juicy!!! The lime added a fresh, acidic element to the tacos and my husband and I enjoyed them every much! I'm still dreaming about them till this day! Husband ordered a lengua (tongue) taco, al pastor (pork), and carne asada (steak) taco. He was especially excited for the lengua as a lot of places don't serve them (the ones that we have tried so far). Lengua taco: 10/10 - He devoured that taco in like two minutes! The taco was filled with lengua and generous on the veggies (cilantro, onions) and lime. Now I don't typically eat lengua tacos as the texture throws me off, but I had a bite and these were amazing! The lengua was so tender and the flavor on them was chef's kiss! I would absolutely eat this taco again! Al pastor taco: 10/10 - His favorite taco and I could see why! The pork's flavor was wow! It was like an explosion of flavors in our months and it was also devoured in 2 minutes haha. They give you so much meat for your buck too! The veggies were packed on the taco as well! Definitely getting this taco again next time! Carne Asada taco: 9/10 - Husband loved this taco and the steak was juicy, flavorful, and grilled to perfection. They give you quite a bit of meat for your taco as well! You know it's good when you're biting it and juices fall out from the steak! I had a bite and it was rich, little fatty, and overall, pretty tasty. Would have rated it higher, but the other two tacos were just a smidge better than this one. Elote: 9.5/10 - I love love Mexican street corn on the cob and oh my goodness! I took a bite and went straight to heaven! It was smothered in mayo, cotija cheese, tajin, and came with a lime. Even with all these flavors going on, you can still taste the grilled corn. The corn was slightly nutty with a hint of sweetness. They also sell it in a cup (Esquites) The prices were super reasonable (between $4-$5) for tacos. They also have other menu items like tortas, burritos, quesadillas, sopas, menudo, etc.) They even have a Birria pizza! We were a little bummed they ran out of aqua frescos though, but it's okay! Next time for sure! If you're in the area, I highly recommend checking out this place! You will not be disappointed!! They also do specials so make sure to ask them for the special of the day too.

We placed our…read moreorder, once my friend arrived. 2 orders of lamb chops both with broccoli with garlic butter, green beans and one with fried okra. I ordered turkey wing with rice & gravy, broccoli with spicy garlic butter and macaroni and cheese. The taste is always good, to me but the quantity and size of the meats leave me wanting more for the price. My friend ended up waiting a lot longer for her food and, while she was cool, I was not. I got our server and reminded her. She eventually brought my friend's order and, before leaving, were approached by management who did acknowledge the issue and apologized to us for the wait. The rating is more reflective of the wait time for my friend's order when we were at the same table, that they were out of oxtails, and the size of the lamb chops (tasted great but very small) and only the flat portion of the turkey wing for the price. Some suggestions for menu items: a 3-vegetable, 4-vegetable plate and fried green tomatoes would be nice.

I rarely leave bad reviews, but this experience was disappointing from start to finish…read more My dad, son, and I were seated outside, and instead of having an actual server take our order like everyone else around us, a bartender was sent to take ours. Right away, it felt odd and inconsistent with the service everyone else was receiving. I ordered a drink that was made with spoiled pineapple juice. The taste was so bad that I had to go inside myself and ask for a replacement. When it came time to order food, I asked questions about a few menu items and received very short, unhelpful responses. The wait for our food was extremely long, and when it finally arrived, it came out in pieces instead of together. We ordered items similar to nearby tables (wings, oysters, salad, etc.), yet other guests received their meals promptly and all at once. The biggest issue was the lack of service afterward. Once our food arrived, our server completely disappeared. We sat there for approximately 45 minutes to an hour without seeing her. My dad eventually asked another server if she could find our waitress, but she brushed him off and didn't help. He ended up looking for the waitress himself and still couldn't find her. A food runner was finally the person who helped us locate her. When it was time to pay, the bill amount didn't seem to make sense and was much higher than expected. The payment screen was already advanced, making it difficult to review the charges. At that point, we were exhausted and ready to leave. After taking payment, the waitress immediately walked away without so much as a thank you or have a good day. Overall, the food was overshadowed by poor service, lack of attention, long wait times, and an overall feeling that we were treated differently than other guests. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst dining experiences I've had and I won't be returning.

Yes, I'm talking about eating at the food truck called On the Fly. Calling it a food truck is in this number, I'm not sure what you would call. It is fabulous. Now let's start off with the negatives, parking is not as easy as it is for most lunch places, but it's really not that bad if you know what you're doing. There are plenty of slots on the street before you get to the restaurant, and if you called ahead and are just picking up then you can park in the reserve lot, where On the Fly is located. Now these spaces are reserved for lawyers going to the courthouse, which is nearby. So you can't park there here all day, but if you're just stopping in for lunch or if you've called ahead or just picking up takeout, then you should be fine. If you're in someone's spot, the first place to look is the restaurant, so just know you may have to move fairly quickly. For me, I like to call in advance, place my order, and then Park in one of the spaces. Then I pick up my food and go and I'm only there for five minutes. Now that that's all out of the way, let's talk about some of the best food that you will have in Jaxonville. On the Fly sauce - I think this is made by a team of leprechauns they keep in the back of the food truck. Because it comes out so fresh, so delicious, and if they sold it by the gallon, I would be numero Uno in buying it. Blue chips - a great starter chips and blue cheese, perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned and delicious. Firecracker Sesame seared Tuna - another solid performer, it has some kick to it, although the tuna is always perfectly cooked. Sweet and spicy quesadilla - oh my God, this dishes as close to heaven as I think I will ever get to. The chicken is so tender and put into a tortilla with caramelized onions, banana peppers, and covered in On the Fly sauce. I don't know how but this works so well you cannot imagine. Service 5/5stars Food 10/5 stars Parking 3/5.

Honestly, Diana's is what put me on to great Mexican food. I've eaten at other restaurants with really good dishes, but this truck still holds the #1 spot for me. The only downside (and it's not the food!) is the inconsistency of their hours. I never really know when they'll be open. More than once, I've driven out (totally worth the drive) only to find them closed. It would be nice if they had posted hours or even a number to call. But here's the thing: I still take my chances, because when Diana is there, the food is 100% worth it. And beyond the food, Diana herself is so kind, whenever she sees my kids, she gives them a little something for free, whether it's a drink or candy. That small gesture makes us feel like family. Highly recommend! Check this food truck out! SN: They have a little seating area. No frills. I always pick up and go. But if you choose, take a seat and stay.
