My favorite taco spot in Jacksonville!…read more I always order the carne asada tacos--they never disappoint. I've been coming here for years, and it's been so nice to watch this place grow and expand while still staying true to what made it special in the first place. Everyone is always so nice and welcoming. Even with the growth, the atmosphere still feels welcoming and homey, and the food tastes just as good as I remember. The taco prices have gone up over the years, but the quality and flavor make them well worth it. If you're craving authentic, flavorful tacos, this is definitely a spot you need to try.

The rice was very dry, but squeezing some hot sauce on top helped make it edible. My daughter ordered a chicken quesadilla, but she didn't like the cheese, so it went mostly uneaten. The service, like the chips and salsa, was average at best. I should probably give El Castillo 3 stars instead of 4, but that's how good the tacos were.

For the prices they charge they should have full service. I spent 32.00 for 3 tacos and guacamole and a water. I left a tip for the employees that are there. Everyone was friendly. Food was good but tacario cinco is definitely the best. What really missed me off was when I found out the owner was keeping the tips for himself and not one cent was on the servers. This owner also is partners with Gastro Pub in Ponte Vedra Beach and they also keep the tips and the employees dont see one cent. I believe it is illegal for the owners to keep the tips and im going to see how to stop the.. I am also NEVER going to their restaurants again. How greedy can you be. I have never been to talking tacos and seen more than 5 people eating. Looks like other people are going to stop giving them their business. These guys need to be stopped.

My boyfriend and I came for dinner that day and sat inside. Our waiter was super high energy and upbeat for the holiday. I got the carne asada and chorizo and both were yummy!! The guac is also delicious here. We also ordered margs and those were good too. They have their own tequila brand here. I came a second time with friends and ordered the same thing and both times was great service and food. Love this spot!

There is free valet parking and a dinner self parking spots. There is indoor and outdoor seating. We usually choose to eat indoors but when the weather is good the outdoor seating is wonderful! I find the bar area too loud compared to the rest of the indoor seat, but would never pass a table up if it was offered. They are closed on Mondays and some days wait times can be extra long. We try to time it out so we are going in-between the typical meal times - that is usually when we have had the best experiences. Our last visit was Sunday and we arrived around 4:30. We like to call this time Linner. We were sat in less than 10 mins while they arranged tables for us. We had 11 people and separate checks. We were celebrating my niece's sweet 16. We did not announce it as she would hate the attention so we did not take advantage of the dessert they usually offer. Our waiter, Michael W, was AMAZING! He was attentive but did not hover. He was observent and kept our drinks and chips filled. We ordered a several different items from the menu but the favorites was the queso and the $10 tacos. They offer several gluten free options. Everything was tasty and made to our preference or allergy needs. We even placed a take away order so we could enjoy it all again later.

It was the best of both worlds on this day. World Cup game playing in the background, their Taco Bell menu was featured, and it was just the same great experience we always have. The food is always on point. Fantastic Mexican food. Everything I've had is stella. Their "hot" salsa is actually "hot". Their quesadillas are fantastic. Their tacos are amazing. Great food, great beer, always a great time at Tepeyolot. If you haven't tried them, I highly suggest you do. You'll love it.

First off we ordered steak burritos- paid extra... the meat was literally STEW meat- not steak! It was so disgusting. Secondly, the ground beef tacos tasted good until you realized how crusty the meat was- as if it had been sitting ALL DAY in a bin! And lastly the nachos were exactly the same crusty old chicken meat!! We ordered pretty much every meat there and all was DISGUSTING and we had to throw out because meat sitting around all day can't be healthy! My recommendation is to NOT come here for the food!

I ordered the Wet California burrito with steak, and it was mostly rice and beans with very little steak. The "wet" was just queso poured over the top and onto the plate. Some bites tasted decent, others were inconsistent. The steak that was there was okay. The margarita was also a letdown -- more sour than expected and likely house tequila, with very little ice. Chips were unsalted (which I didn't mind), and the salsa had a bit of a pinch to it. Unfortunately, I woke up the next morning with a bad stomach ache and didn't feel great while eating the food. I probably should have said something to management at the time. Our waitress was friendly, but couldn't really elaborate when we asked about the menu. Overall, I'm paying for great food and service -- not just "okay." I don't see myself returning.

My biggest complaint, is that for being a taco centric spot and having about 15 different tacos, zero of these are vegetarian options. Even things that are called the potato taco for instance have chorizo in them, and the shrooms taco has meat in it as well. I just think it's a really big mess on their part and I think that they should reconsider adding a couple of vegetarian options to their menu. I'm sure if you ask, they will modify. But that's not the point. Sincerely, someone who is tired of getting just a quesadilla at a Mexican restaurant that has so many different options .
