16 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants in Jacksonville

“My father and I come here for lunch all the time. We always get the vegetarian bowl without cheese and we added roasted pumpkin seeds. It is a great amount of food. We definitely never leave hungry. As a vegan. I love it that they have incredible flavors available. I highly recommend them.“

“Omg I love this place (Lola’s) I’ve been coming here for years and the service has never disappointed. I had a new server today Laine which was a pleasure. She was very attentive and fast with my order today. I can’t wait to come back. She made my experience so special today. Thank youParking: Na“

“Finding authentic latin food is super hard in the beaches area. This place has been on our radar for a while, we finally went tonight. I wanted to write this before our food even came out. Our server, Suner was super nice. Hardworking and just pleasant. The food was absolutely amazing. Havent found better tacos or queso. I got the molcajete and it was phenomenal. Horchata FRESH. WAAYYYYY better than an “upscale” place like The Flying Iguana. Definitely coming back.“

“Loved all the the different dishes I had. Mayors shrimp is off menu, but a must. Ask chef about it. Amazing!! Chips and queso bites were great. They have Gigantic quesadillas!!! I had the steak! All the sauces were perfectly matched. And this churro cheesecake was magnificent!! 10/10 “

“This is THE best authentic Mexican food I have ever had! The food is always fresh and delicious. The salsa—-I could literally eat the chips and salsa as a meal. Guacamole is also delish! I could write pages about how great they are! My husband and I eat there at least once a week and have taken all our friends to experience the awesome food! They also have fried chicken, fried fish, wings, mashed potatoes, meatloaf, soup, salad bar, scrumptious desserts! Go try it!“

“It was my first time at CHuy's yesterday and Ivan was our serveer. He was very attentive, knew the menu so well and went above and beyond! I got to smaple the sauces and even let him choose my dinner, and he did not disappoint! He made our dining expereience fun and relaxing. I highly recommend eating here and asking for Ivan! Thank you Ivan! I will be back to see you again!“

“We had a friendly greeting from the host. He seated us at a nice table. Lighting was perfect. Ambiance was good. We were told to order the Bob Armstrong dip (off menu). It was amazing. We also got the steak & chicken fajitas. Those were amazing. The meat was cooked perfectly, and we enjoyed them immensely. We will definitely be back!“

“This is an amazing place to have Mexican food. They serve really crispy nachos and tomato salsa. The tacos were amazing and was the fajita. We might become a regular to this place. Do remember that they don’t accept Apple Pay, so you must have your card that is the only option apart from cash, of course.“

“The people were wonderful! They worked with us (2 adults and 3 kiddos). Our server was very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and well cooked as we asked. Only thing was there was no trashcan outside. We needed to throw out a few things and didn't see any outside the restaurant.“

“I am from Tucson, Arizona which has just been voted number one as a city for having fantastic Mexican food. Tucson is very close to the border of Mexico and the Mexican food is exquisite. I have gone to many Mexican restaurants here, because I miss the food so much, and nothing tastes like Sonoran Mexican food as La Nopalera does. I went to lunch the other day and my server was a man by the name of Oscar. The food was beyond perfect, the restaurant is spotlessly clean and the ambiance was wonderful! I loved every second of my lunch and my visit to this restaurant and will go back again and again. This is true Sonoran-style Mexican food!!! Thank you, Oscar, and La Nopalera!!!“

“I love this restaurant, but I never order it on DoorDash because the food is always either wrong or it’s cold. Today I was just really craving the restaurants food and placed a priority DoorDash order for two tacos, queso and a large Coke. I actually hate Coke and I would never drink Coke ever in my life. I started panicking because DoorDash won’t let you change your order once you submitted it, and the only option is to lose the money that you paid for an item that you do not want. I ended up calling the resturant (I would never do this and have never Jacksonville food workers are not nice in my experience) HOWEVER whoever she was was so so so sweet and so kind. she was so quick to fix my order and make my food for me correctly. Also the tacos wrapped in aluminum foil to keep them hot. That’s never happened before in my takeout experience with Tiana flats at any location before. And the wonderful woman/girl even wrote a nice little note/:-) on my sprite , I think that that this the best way to show you truly care as a company. Or else I wouldn’t take time out of my day to type a thank you message. Thank you to whoever answered the phone for me today :) <3“

“I always stop in Tijuana flats when I'm in town. I always order the nachos they're great. What I don't like is when I'm paying my bill that they turned the screen around and say oh you can leave a tip if you want, when I pay with my card. No I do not want to leave a tip you are being paid a wage to work.“

“It was quiet for a Sunday not too busy during the afternoon. The food was good. For some reason the corn on cob wasn’t too good didn’t have sweet tasting that I was expecting. The waiter was working on our table plus working at Bar. A lot of hats on her. My Dad enjoyed the BBQ Bacon burger only he complains was too big !“

“Last year we started going back to Chili's after having not been in a long time. This location on Atlantic Blvd. is great. Food is always tasty and the people working there are always friendly. Special shout out to Heather and Ava who always make our dinner special with their friendliness and great service.“

“Really great casual lunch spot. They have a variety of options on the menu that are vegetarian, pescatarian, and vegan friendly, and they allow you to customize your order. The food came out hot and fresh, and was very filling. I customized the Blackened shrimp burrito and I could taste the quality ingredients they used and how exceptionally flavorful it was. The interior is very clean as were the bathrooms. It gets very busy- they open at 11 and the noon lunch crowd gathered quickly. There is 2 hour street parking directly across the restaurant.“

“It's simi self service and not very clear about how to order, where to sit and what to do with your disposables when you're done. Overall the food was adequate but expect American style. The queso is like Lays cheddar dip...also there wasn't ice for the drinks..not sure if that's policy or they were out“
