Kind of an upscale place, great service and a great menu selection. We all ended up getting various tacos, speedy Gonzalez, old favorites, margaritas, cold beer you name it! Sat on the patio had great service, super spicy hot sauce was available, which we all loved as well as the sautéed jalapeños and onions, which are also pretty spicy but delicious. Portions were plentiful, food was fresh, very happy great afternoon with the family! Highly recommended!!

Yesterday, my retirement buddy and I enjoyed lunch at Hidalgo's Mexican Grill. The atmosphere was…read moreinviting, adorned with warm and vibrant décor, and we were greeted by a friendly host and attentive wait staff. I decided to try Lunch Special #6, which featured a burrito stuffed with ground beef, topped with salsa ranchero, and accompanied by rice and refried beans. My buddy opted for #10, the Gioso 3-way, which included grilled chicken, steak, and shrimp sautéed in their homemade spicy sauce, also served with rice, refried beans, and a choice of tortillas. From the very first bite of my burrito, I was pleasantly surprised--it was absolutely delicious! As a burrito enthusiast, I can confidently say it was the best-tasting burrito I've ever had, with a flavor profile unlike any I've experienced before. My buddy shared similar sentiments about the grilled meats on his plate. Curious about the sauce, we asked our server, who informed us it's a signature sauce they developed for all their meats. The rice and refried beans were perfect. The chips and salsa were also excellent. In summary, our visit to Hidalgo's Mexican Grill turned out to be one of the best lunches we've had. We're excited to make it one of our go-to spots for lunchtime.

Husband and I went here for the first time to try something new from our usual spot- we are so glad…read morewe did. We found a new usual spot! He had chimichangas and I had something that had rice, cheese dip and chicken, steak, shrimp. My only complaint is that there was A LOT of chicken, 2 shrimp and not much steak. But it was yummy regardless. They have a daily special and this day was a chicken quesadilla for 5.99 and I think it also came with rice. We ordered one to go for his lunch the next day. (He said it was delicious) Our waiter was nice- never had to wait for anything that we asked for. (More chips, salsa, coke) Oh yeah the salsa is really good too. Not too spicy and good flavor.

You order at the counter and they call you when it's ready. Service was a bit slow considering there was only one other table occupied at the time we were there.

Our server was amazing and took our drink order quickly. We then ordered some quick lunch as we were in a hurry. A couple of quesadillas and green chile enchiladas later and we were extremely satisfied and on our way. The nachos are made in house and the salsa is amazing. Here's the deal. I have this place 4 stars because it's exactly what it should be and what you would expect. It's great food at an affordable price and perfect for your taco Tuesday cravings. The service was amazing and we would go again if in the area. The reason for 4 stars versus 5, the entrance. It was a a mix of broken tile and concrete. But, we were there for the food and the ambiance which were great. Buen provecho!

Dined at Consuelo during Gainesville's First Fridays and loved every bite. As someone who recently…read moremoved from NJ, I've been impressed by the Mexican cuisine in Georgia--Consuelo stands out. Just off the town square, the restaurant has a sleek, modern vibe. We shared a bottle of red wine (reasonably priced), and the food was fresh and flavorful. The chicken enchiladas verdes were hearty and delicious, chips and guac were spot-on, and the empanadas hit the mark. We ended with their Tres Leches cake--light, sweet, and topped with berries. Our waitress was friendly and fun, even packed up our wine so we could enjoy the rest in the square. Great food, great service--definitely worth a visit.

Outdoor seating may be a better option..... Maybe it is busier since tomorrow is cinco de mayo or maybe this is typical. Anyway, my 2 huevos y frijoles on corn tortillas were small and unmemorable. Disappointing since tortillas are housemade. Plus they charge for chips and salsa....if buffet is not selected. Made to order eggs on the buffet so that is a plus. Staff is friendly if inattentive amid the bustle. Maybe I will try again on a non weekend.
