9 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near Saint Johns

“We came here for a late lunch a few weeks ago and thought the food was great. The service was a bit slow in the beginning. It was “Seat Yourself” seating and took a while for someone to come over and acknowledge us and ask what we want to drink. Everything was fine after that. We’ll be back!“

“We visited CL on a taco Tuesday. The blackened shrimp was amazing!!!!!! My daughter had the Americana taco and she loved it! The chips and salsa were delish as is the 1862 margaritas was the bomb!!!!! The bartender was so friendly and the decor was perfect! I highly recommend Cantina Louie!!! I will definitely return when e we are back in town!“

“Love the art of the place, but more importantly the food. We got a chimichanga, street taco of chicharron and I got the cerdo plate, highly recommended if you're doing lazy keto. They allowed us a couple of substitutions at not charge. On Sunday they have a margarita pitcher at a good price, good for 4 glasses. It was not a super busy, so service was fast even outside. Price was fair. We will definitely come back! ???“

“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!!!“

“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 !“

“I wish I took pictures! Everything was delicious. Between my husband and I we swapped a lot of things, so I lose track of what we actually ordered. But I can say that the food was great. The service was OK. Not great. Ambience was as expected for a Tijuana Flats.“

“Always hit this location for our Mexican Food fix, and they never disappoint! The food is excellent and the staff is always courteous. Consistency is the word that comes to mind when describing this La Nopalera restaurant, as I always order the same dish, and it's awesome every time. We are partial to this particular location, although they have several other locations in Jacksonville.“

“First off let me say that I work overseas and my wife really wanted nacho. So I placed an order through door dash and wasn’t able to make special request through the app. I then called your store and Courtney answered my call. She went above and beyond to make sure that my wife’s nachos wouldn’t get soggy by placing everything on the side. My wife also loves your green sauce but I couldn’t remember which one. So Courtney put all the green sauces that y’all make in our order. Which was absolutely amazing! Oh and my wife loved them all! Courtney also wrote a very heartfelt note that just made my wife’s day! So thank you very much Courtney and Tijuana Flats for making my wife’s night. When I am home we are planning on stopping to say hi and thank you in person!“
