    Went for lunch. Cheap fast service and good chicken tacos. It’s what you have come to expect and want from a Mexican restaurant for lunch.

    The staff here are usually pretty good. The food is consistently good as well. The environment is nice. It's a good location for to go alone or with family and friends. The weekends and night tend to be crowded. Weekdays are obviously a little slower. Lunch and early dinner are good times to arrive.

    I tried the veggie quesadilla. I've visited here a few times and the food is very consistent with flavor and serving size. There is wheelchair accessible parking and entry. Conveniently, it also has a bar.

    Food was amazing. Hubby and our crew of 5 today ordered way too much food, but goodness it was amazing. Love the "Day of the Dead decor"! My BFF of 25 years passed away last year and this is a place we used to eat at. Beautiful memories. Highly recommend! The staff were so sweet and kind. 💖

    Love the murals. Nice vibe. Most employees were friendly and spoke. Ordered a steak fajita taco salad and was pleasantly surprised to see they aren't stingy with the meat. Were there times when I felt the service was a bit slow? Yeah, especially since it was no where near packed. But with the delicious food and affordable prices, I'd visit again if ever in that area.

    If you're in the Baymeadows area and craving some delicious Latino food, I highly recommend checking out this restaurant. The atmosphere is fantastic, with great music playing in the background. The service staff is exceptional and attentive. We were greeted promptly and our food arrived in a timely manner. Although the food was a bit spicy, it was still high quality and enjoyable. The nachos could have used more cheese, but the other flavors were excellent. The Fajitas were served hot and in generous portions. The price was reasonable for the amount and quality of food you receive. Overall, this restaurant is definitely worth returning to if you're in the area.

    Big roomy place staff friendly and on the spot. Really good Mexican food. One guy working due to short staff but you would not have known. This guy was the flash. I will return. This restaurant is a must try you will not be disappointed. Real art on the walls. I can not wait to have the drinks there. Many people were having them.

    The restaurant has excellent customer service team. We ordered tacos and burrito from the restaurant, unknowing the misrepresentation by the third-party website. When we brought the food home, we found there was one taco missing. We went back to the restaurant, the manager kindly explained the actual menu price and the number of tacos under our price, they were correct. The manager offered us more tacos just to make us feel better. By the way, my husband loves their tacos, great flavor and tasty chorizos!

    Wonderful place to eat and take the family. Mix drinks and frozen drinks were well made and for the price it cannot be beat. Chips and salsa as soon as we were seated. Drinks followed shortly. Fried Jalapenos stuffed with cheese for appetizer. Taquitos 2 chicken 2 beef first plate. 2nd plate was steak enchiladas with beans as side. Was more than expected and took some home. Mixx drinks, appetizer, 2 dinners, and a side of fries not pictured was less than 60 after tax before tip. Revisit for sure. Excellent all around. Highly recommend.

    We recently stared coming here because the restaurant we used to go to started charging for chips and salsa and their quantity /quality was declining.... Boy am I glad we did... Best homemade salsa we've had... Perfectly seasoned fajita meat piled up... Generous amounts of guacamole, sour cream, beans and rice... Great service - our waiter Alex is always friendly and attentive and the manager Hector comes around to personally make sure you are happy with everything... Our new favorite Mexican restaurant!!!!

    Customer service was not great but ok which is why they got one star. Food was not so good. Birria tacos too salty and entirely too much cheese. The drinks are usually pretty good here but today I got a mango and strawberry margarita which was full of syrup couldn’t even enjoy it. Sent it back fora reg marg. Overalll wasn’t pleased at all.

    I almost didn't stop to eat here because of the bad reviews. I got steak fajitas,and they were hands down some of the best I've ever had! The salsa is amazing also. Our server was Keyriaa. Not good service. She gave us the impression that we were inconvenincing her. Overall, I would highly suggest this place solely because the food was so good!

    Placed an order for delivery through doordash and once I received the order I noticed my fajita nachos were not delivered. I checked my online receipt and saw their handwritten receipt did not include the item. So turned out to be their error. We also received a half empty bag of chips with 4 orders of food! I contacted the restaurant who said the driver picked up all items in the order but that I was welcome to drive to pick up the item- 20 minutes from my house. My boyfriend was then eating his taco and found a metal shaving that stabbed the inside of his mouth. I am very disappointed with the quality of their food.

  • 3/5 Dr F. 10 months ago on Google
    I know this restaurant well. They serve very good food. The portions are generous and the flavor is there. "The Favorita" is my favorite. The service is always friendly and the atmosphere is very casual like every other Nopalera restaurant. However, I don't like the restaurant itself to dine in. They filled the walls with colourful murals but the restaurant is dark and the lighting is just a downer. And... there is always a "smell"... My wife is sure it is the restrooms... I don't know, but I can't stand that smell. So, long time ago we decided to go for the pick up option and it never disappoints. The service is fast.

    The greeter seated us quickly. The waitress was quick to get our order and drinks. The order was out before we could finish the complementary chips and salsa. The restaurant is clean every time we come here. They have two stall bathrooms which are also kept clean. I haven't tried their bar as I don't drink alcohol. However, I always see people enjoying drinks there. I highly recommend this location for good, authentic Mexican food.

    The bartender Sergio was great the other waiter Ala, or whatever his name is (heavy set guy), was rude and not very helpful. Anyway, the food was great! Drinks were great as well. I would go back again and just avoid being waited on by Ala...

    The kids love the queso. I liked that they updated their menu to offer some specialty tacos. Recommend the chicken and mushroom taco.

  • 5/5 Jay A. 5 months ago on Google
    I refused to keep going to the location on San Pablo and Beach because the bathrooms and entire restaurant was utterly filthy, literally worst restrooms I've ever encountered. I let the mangers know and nothing changed. The staff was always super friendly to my children, one waiter would do little magic tricks but inspire of this, I couldn't get past the unsanitary state of the restrooms, so we quit going. When the new location opened were were excited to try it. Happy to report the new location off Beach between San Pablo and Hodges is fantastic, spotless, sanitary, and a place I'm more than comfortable taking my family. Well Done.

  • 1/5 mike s. 6 months ago on Google
    Been getting food for years from here. I placed a to go order, missing several items, went to eat the steak fajitas could not even chew the meat. 4 shrimp in a fajitas dinner. Called the Mgr the next day, said they would do better from now on. I'm out 30.00. Lost a customer for good. Pretty sad! Would not recommend this location anymore
