    We decided to do their catering! What a Deal! We could have fed an army with the amount of food we got and it was absolutely fabulous! I would highly recommend. Great value and tasted fantastic.

    We picked this restaurant on the positive reviews and ratings. I feel like it's reviewed by people who don't know what real Mexican food is. The food was not good and service was horrible. We seemed to bother the servers by coming in. We also overheard a fight between servers over which tables belonged to them as well as the days they're supposed to work. We are a little because we were quite hungry and didn't want to pass out. The margarita was easily the worst I've ever had. They did have cool neon signs and an awesome name. Note to self, don't be drawn in by the name and signs!

    Very very very basic Mexican food. I have a buddy that loves this place and I don't understand why. Perhaps it's just the convenience and familiarity. The staff is very pleasant and the pricing isn't bad by any stretch of the imagination. But most importantly the food just doesn't do it for me. The food lacks seasoning and presentation. I've tried this place on multiple occasions and I want to love it because of the location but the major shortcoming is the food. Sorry.

    It is an okay restaurant. The service was nice, prices are reasonable but the food it’s just average nothing wow about it. Again, nothing wrong about the service or restaurant, just the food didn’t had anything wow or special that makes you say “hey let’s go to that place” instead of visiting whatever is near you.

    I’ve tried several street taco places and they are the best in Jacksonville. I always get my tacos Mexican style. They don’t skimp on the meat and chips and salsa are included. I will definitely be returning.

    The food was fantastic. If you go for the birria make sure to pay attention if you want cheese on them or not. I've tried both and loved how flavorable and full the tacos were. I got a mango margarita and that was great too. The only thing I didn't like was the service wasn't the best. Technically I got a frozen margarita instead of on the rocks and they don't come to check on you much. Luckily I'm here for the food and it's always hot and delicious.

    Totally 😲 shocked! This restaurant is fantastic. The food is so fresh, and tasty. The presentation beautiful. "Guess what"! It was a "to go" order. I called the management and bragged on them. Check out their menu. At there place or an Uber pickup, you'll be happy.It is as delicious as advertised. A lots to choose from.

    After an evening at the movies and hitting up Deck the Chairs, our family (party of 7) decided to eat at a nearby Mexican restaurant and chose Taco Libre. Everything from the service, decor, and of course the food did not disappoint. Will definitely hit this place up when we're back on this side of town. Great first impressions for us 👍

    Second year (visiting Jax) that we’ve ordered catering and picked it up. They do a great job. Ask for laura as her English is better than others. Tip when ordering taco bar for catering: We went through more meat than the rest so if you have a hungry crew I’d recommend adding more meat to your order.

    Went here for the first time tonight and I was very impressed! Staff are very helpful and professional. Food tasted amazing and my burrito was HUGE! Loved each bit of it. I’ll be back for sure. Great people and awesome food.

    Taco Libre is a go-to local gem. The atmosphere is colorful and fun, the service is always top notch, and the menu holds one of my favorite dishes in Jacksonville. The Veggie Ceviche is a refreshing, filling, and light meal that I could easily eat every week. I prefer to eat mine with the house made tortilla chips rather than the saltine crackers they offer on-menu. This location has a very clean indoor and outdoor dining, well kept bathrooms, is very family/large group friendly, and has fantastic chips/salsa that i could genuinely eat buckets of.

    We’ve been going to this restaurant for many years since they first opened actually. It was exciting the food and service was excellent we looked forward to going and recommended it often Then they expanded their menu which was a real step forward Now I don’t understand what happened it’s so sad my favorite taco the Mr potato taco is no longer made with potatoes it’s just some warmed up French fries and the shrimp bowl is lettuce that looks like bag lettuce from the grocery store thrown in a bowl with a few shrimps. Even the hot sauce is average at best thank goodness the beans are still good We spent $35 for two small dinners and left wishing we went elsewhere

    Amazing food!! They never skimp on the meat and toppings, everything comes with a good size salsa and chips too! I’ve had the enchiladas, steak fries and tacos all really great!! The staff is always SO nice and welcoming!

    Tried their Birria and Pastor tacos. Both were deli. The birria stew wasn’t warm enough for my licking and the Margarita wasn’t cold enough. Overall a nice experience. Will be back try the rest of their menu.

    Pastor tacos! Now THIS is what a taco is supposed to taste like! I eat here at least once a week and go out of my way to pick up tacos from here. Plus the people who run this place have been feeding the people of our community come hurricane or sun…this is my go to place for the “best tacos”! Oh and they have birria tacos too!

    Burrito was well stuffed with meat, but sections were over seasoned. Also, a restaurant should be able to wrap up the burrito better than my mother! Overall, really liked it.

  • 5/5 Eli C. 1 year ago on Google
    First time eating here while in Jacksonville. Food was very good! We got the pick 3 for like $10 and a kids meal...ummm it was a lot of food and tasted great! 😋 it was recommended to us by a local we met in the store by it called Hope's Closet and she was definitely right. Go try it out! Eating inside and outside is available or take out if you'd like that option. Friendly and family owned.

    If you’re looking for great Mexican food… LOOK NO FURTHER. The inside of this place is so creative. Love the aesthetic! The food is out of this world and tastes authentic. So glad we found this gem.. we will definitely be back frequently! Thank you!!

    I got to visit this gem of an authentic Mexican restaurant yesterday! Having tried it for the first time, I really enjoyed my experience! Our server Rafael provided great service as we sat outside. I ordered a pineapple Jarritos (Rafael's favorite flavor) and got the 3 lunch combo - a bean and cheese burrito, a cheese enchilada and rice and beans! Everything was delicious, along with our chips and salsa! Highly recommend this place!!

    Ordered a large order earlier tonight, it was pouring outside earlier so the ground was wet and I dropped my order. I didn't ask for it to be replaced immediately, however I asked for extra cheese sauce because it exploded inside of my bag. I was told I was going to be charged for it by Laura. I could have asked for my entire order to be replaced which she denied later. And said she was the manager. I really can't understand how a place could run with a manager like this. My wife is pregnant, and we were left with no options to eat tonight after we left. I tried to reason with Laura but she refused to work with me. When my pregnant wife called back to speak with a manager she claimed to be one, without helping. I will say, I should not have to pay for a meal that was dropped on the ground anywhere, but the disrespect in front of other people from Laura took it to another level. I will be back to personally speak with the general manager tomorrow unacceptable

    Taco libre always delivers. Amazing food and service every time. We have been coming for years and if we try anywhere else we regret it cause it’s just not as good as here.
