44 Best Mexican Restaurants near Saint Johns

“This place is always great! Good food, good atmosphere and the staff is always friendly and welcoming! My wife went for our anniversary 1 hour before they closed and they welcomed us in with a smile, the service was excellent and the food was still delicious! Love this place!“

“Good food and portions, only problem is that everytime we go, I have to tell them to please turn down the (annoying) music. The employees have it loud for their benefit but my wife and I could hardly hear each other plainly. There were other patrons in the restaraunt that I know had the same issue but no one speaks up. Music is supposed to be BACKGROUND music - not a concert. Many other restaraunts do the same.“

“Jade is my favorite! I love the location!“

“First time there a week ago food and service was perfect! I brought another friend 5 days later but this time the food was barely lukewarm. Service was good but my friend did not want to complain that her chimichanga was cold. Sometimes you just don’t feel like it. I didn’t care for my dish which I wouldn’t order again which was quesadilla with chicken and pineapple. I couldn’t taste the pineapple. I’ll go back but order something different.“

“aco Bell is always a fun spot when you’re craving something quick and tasty. The food comes out fast, the menu has lots of choices, and the flavors are always bold and satisfying. The prices are affordable, and it’s a great place to grab a late-night snack or a quick meal on the go. The staff is usually friendly, and the service is pretty reliable. Overall, Taco Bell is a solid choice for fast food with a little extra flavor“

“Food and service are great. Love this place“

“Reuben waited on me. I tried fajitas, rice, beans, & mojitos. It’s was amazing. 10/10. Clean, stylish, outstanding foods and drinks!!!!“

“This was my first time visiting this restaurant, and I absolutely loved it! Mexican food holds a special place in my heart since I lived in Mexico for many years, and this place did not disappoint. I will definitely be coming back a thousand times over, especially if Johana is my server. Her charisma and warm smile made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!“

“Very good food and service“

“I enjoyed my meal here. The shrimp fried rice was good on its own without the sauce. And I really enjoyed my cocktails. I would recommend this place.“

“Claire was awesome“

“The food and service was Great!!“

“We have been to Rosy's a number of times and have always been pleased with the experience. We generally go for weekday lunch so it is not crowded but there are still other patrons so the restaurant is in action but not rushed. Drinks come quickly. The chips are fresh and medium crunch, so not the real thin ones that break and not the very thick that are too hard. The salsa is consistently good with just a little kick and always has visible cilantro, which I prefer. The meals come out in a reasonable time. We've tried several items and all were to our liking. I think their grilled chicken is marinated well and has a very good taste, plus if an item doesn't come with steak or shrimp you can still upgrade to it. We've never checked the restrooms so no comment. We've had the latest server more than once and he does an excellent job, and if I remember correctly that all servers we've encountered are pleasant and efficient. The dining room is clean and spacious although a tad outdated in decorating, but I am there for eating and not from Architectural Digest. And yes, parking can be a challenge in that strip mall but since Rosy's is on the corner, go to the side for more places. Overall we were happy with our latest experience and we will definitely visit a number of times in 2025.“

“I love this location. so happy went there with friends on Sat night and we had a blast. the manager is always so super sweet. took care of us and everyone food was good.“

“Yusliedy was an awesome server! Super attentive and friendly! We’ve had her before, it was great to see her! The food was fresh and hot! I had 3 carne asada tacos and my husband had a bowl! It was delicious!“

“Toda la comida bien buena and the tóxico MICHELADA was the best part 🤩“

“We ordered the Mango Shrimp Salad. It was delicious! I’m gluten and dairy sensitive, and I was impressed how our waiter & other staff got all the modifications correct! Excellent service and yummy food! We will definitely eat here again!“

“So I don't usually post, but just walked out of los loros restaurant after eating half of my lunch and finding a cockroach in my food to which the wait staff reaponded "oh."“

“Really close to authentic Mexican tacos. Burritos not at all. Love the salsa bar really good and salsas are fire! Guac needs pepper! I hate that the hostess was hiding the special lunch menu and she recommended to just order tacos. What is the point to have a special menu if you cannot try? The tacos were good so we ordered more don’t worry about getting more money just let the costumer have a great experience and they’ll spend more money and recommend your place!“

“excelente servicio y la comida super rica. voy cada vez que puedo.“

“Best tacos I have, outside of California!!“

“I am so grateful to find this restaurant. The food is incredible and my husband and I have a new favorite place!“

“Excellent food, excellent service from Omar, fun atmosphere. A must try!“

“We are here for the first time since they got the new management! I see huge improvements! Food came out in a fast and timely manner, I didn’t have to beg for refills, and they have a kids color page now! If they had it before I never got it! So happy with the new service.“

“So I have been in Jacksonville for 3 years. Im a Texan and I want to keep the standard the same for quality and quantity in a meal as any place I love in my home state. I have to say this is it, this is the one. The portions are huge, the taste of each plate we tried was excellent. We did not try any of the seafood options. I have to say this is now my Mexican food place. Arturo was the best and made our experience exceptional. The happy hour top self margaritas for $6.99, you could not beat are not watered down.( I only had 1 ) my hubby is driving home lol. This is the place to try out for sure if you love Mexican like I do.“

“Great atmosphere Manager Juan is the best Great Mexican tacos de carne asada Great selection of beers and liquors Highly recommend !“

“Great tasting food and large amount for the price. Highly recommend“

“The fajita nachos are excellent!“

“I’ve been eating at La Nop since 2002. The best one, IMO, has always been the one on Beach Blvd. I moved away a few years back and was in town this week to visit friends and family. Met up here and the food was good. It’s not the same as the Beach location(though I’ve heard that’s all changed since ownership changed hands) but it’s still good. The prices are waaay higher now, but, that’s a trend everywhere. Nice atmosphere, great service. Queso is amazing. I am always chasing the high of La Nop on the early days.😍“

“this is the best moes location in the entire northeast florida area. and trust me i’ve been to them ALL!! the employees are so kinda and incredible, they take such care with each order they have. they’re quite quick and efficient even when backed up. the salsa bar is always clean and stocked and this location has THE BEST salsa. no other locations compare!!“

“We stopped in before our plasma donation and got burritos. My friend paid but I forgot to add a drink. They were so nice and friendly. Customer service was 1000/10. My first time at moes and I was blown away. The food was tasty and I got recommendations from the employees. Glad I listened to them because it was delicious.“

“Craving a burrito yesterday, I ordered Bubbakoo's on Doordash for my girlfriend and I. Had never heard of them before, but they had a buy one get one promo and I couldn't argue with $6 each. It was solid, not the best by any means as the chicken texture was a little strange, but otherwise good and hit the spot. I'd like to go in person next time and try something else!“

“Judith was an ANGEL? she knew every ingredient in our dishes, when our friend wanted something off menu, she picked an item close to it and worked out what it was comprised of to make the best meal for him, got our tickets fast without us asking when we mentioned in passing going to a movie. 10/10 best server I’ve ever had?“

“Great tasting food and atmosphere!“

“I was invited to go to Tijuana Flats as a last-minute thing! I decided to accept because I didn’t feel like cooking dinner that night! It had been quite a while since my last visit to any Tijuana Flats but this one was one I hadn’t ever visited.

This location was fairly busy for a Wednesday night. There was no problem with finding a table, tho. The food came out relatively quick and was delivered to the table, as opposed to us waiting at the counter like a take-out meal. It was all prepared just as ordered and the portions were great.

The restaurant was exceptionally clean given the amount of people that were eating at the time. The staff was very patient with the kids in our party as they placed their own orders. It was a good visit and worth the 20 minute drive! Definitely will re-visit!“

“The people were okay.the restrooms were filthy. Looked as if someone tried to mop. But then was dancing on the toilet seats with same shoes that walked through mop water on floor. Said something to manager and a corporate person standing around in store...no rush to do anything. So walked across street to MCDONALD'S to have my lunch.“

“This is my go-to for a quick bite. Always fast and consistent service. Sometimes hit or miss on how much filling is in your order, but when I have made big orders I have never had any missing food items. The drive-thru is always better in my opinion. I have picked up a couple times from the inside and service is usually slower inside for me. With the drive thru, even if the line is long, it moves quickly. I highly recommend using their app to place your order to ensure any customization you might want are correct (just better than yelling into a speaker and dealing with miscommunication in the drive thru). Overall this is the best fast food choice in proximity to me, and as I said, my go-to for a quick bite.“

“Went late night to drive thru when I realized the other fast food locations in that area are horrible. The woman at the drive-thru was super nice and had my food neatly prepared and ready in about 2 minutes. Since then, that's the only fast food in the area I go to besides Chicfila up the street“
