    Asada, al pastaro, chicharron, and birria.
    Gerald D.

    FINALLY! Authentic delicious tacos, no more tex-mex weird queso that tastes like velveta for me, and you shouldn't put yourself through it either. This place is attached to a gas station, but don't let that deter you or you'll miss out on beautiful hand crafted tortillas and some of the best chicharrons you'll ever have in your life. The owners are very nice, accommodating, knowledgeable and have great service. I spent about 17 dollars on a meal for myself (4 tacos at 3.50 a piece because I got the fancy ones) the drink, and the taxes. Highly recommend visiting here, it's a real gem.

    Menu! Amazing food next to the Chevron
    Shan S.

    This place is attached to the Chevron in downtown Gainesville. It isn't inside the Chevron and has its own entrance. The hand made corn tortilla is unlike anything you have ever had. Gluten free and taste amazing. The tacos are a lot bigger than what I am used to seeing at a quick mexican food place. The chicken tacos were also amazing. I cannot wait to go back and try more items! The family that owns it answered all my questions. Place is amazing.

    Vicky's Special - Al Pastor & Chicharonnes
    Maddie G.

    My partner and I were first timers at Vicky's today but that certainly will not be our last trip in. We were greeted upon entry and given superior service. The restaurant was clean. Unfortunately they were out of Birria by the time we arrived though so instead we had Vicky's Special Tacos. We order one chicken, one carne asada, one al pastor, one chorizo and one chicharrones. There is a self serve salad bar with yummy house made salsa's, onion, cilantro and limes. ALL of our tacos were delicious. I also recommend trying whatever juice they have available. Today was Passion Fruit and man was it refreshing.

A variety of proteins and toppings to choose from. Vegan friendly, which is my fave! Build your own bowl. Wild rice, romaine lettuce, black and pinto beans. Tofu for the protein (cooked fresh and was delectable!). 4 toppings are included. I chose chickpeas, cucumbers, beets and cabbage. Bought 2 additional - edamame and black olives. Chipotle dressing (it's vegan!). This bowl was perfect! You can they use fresh ingredients that are high quality. I love with places have vegan options that they take the time to make delicious. Tofu said it was seasoned, but it was way better than I thought it would be. First time coming here but will definitely be back. Super chill vibe, decently quiet and great customer service! They have feee wifi if you want to work while here or use it just because. My total came to $18 with added toppings and a sparkling water. I don't mind the pricing - you can't compare it to Chipotle and it's in The Square. It's totally worth it! Same owners as Consuelo, which is a few doors down. If you have not be en there yet, run now to dine in!

Overall very neat and clean with good customer service. Would be good for large groups and families as well!

We got a great table for our party and we ordered some drinks. My only complaint is I could tell our server as new at this because I felt quite forgotten at times as he would just disappear but otherwise it was a great experience! The cocktail menu had a bunch of great choices and I loved my drink! For an appetizer, we got a flat bread and some spinach and artichoke dip both of which were amazing! Super tasty and flavorful. For my main, I got the chicken caesar wrap with fries and this was a massive wrap! Super yummy and I loved that the salad was finely chopped. Overall, the food was super delicious and I wish we had gotten a chance to play some of the games in this place because the vibes were great! Great spot and addition to downtown Gainesville.

Wait time wasn't too terrible. We spent 75 dollars with items mentioned above and two ham n cheese sliders for the kids. I'd say don't bother with the fries, we ate here twice and each time, the fries were stale and luke warm. The environment is cool, clean, colorful, and plenty of seating. Don't go on a Sunday afternoon due to it being super filled with people. Second visit wasn't well. The lady at the counter didn't receive my order correctly, my husband had his meal and ate it before they corrected mine.(roughly 20 min) They have a partial refund which is fine. We will be taking a break for a while. The worker that took my order didn't seem happy and had quite an attitude. The manager came to fix it right away.
