Restaurantji's Florence recommendations for the finest Mexican cuisine.
“As is the tradition with every Fernando’s, consistency is present! I only gave it 4 stars due to there only being so much you can do with the building they are starting in. It is a great addition to the community and well worth the drive, as always.“
“Great experience! I judge Mexican restaurants by their salsa. It was very good. Not to mention, the chicken dish I had was seasoned so well. The atmosphere felt great and the servers were moving around quickly! We were in and out of there quickly, because they were so efficient. Impressive service. If we’re ever near there again, we will be back! I unfortunately didn’t get any pictures of our food….but that’s because I was enjoying it so much that I didn’t even think about it. Ha! Keep doing it right, Los Cazadores!“
“It's been a while since we (hubby and I) last visited and we definitely miss this place. The barbacoa tacos are our favorite. Hubby is a trucker and sadly we aren't in the area anymore. We hope to go again one day though. Highly highly recommend. It's for sure a reason why we would consider moving to Jackson if we could. ?“
“Amazing food and service!! We can’t wait to return. My daughter is hard to please and said it was the best chicken quesadilla she’s ever had :) The salsa was my favorite! I’m picky when it comes to salsa and this was AMAZING! Thank you, Lorena, and the rest of the team here!“
“Guess maybe they're trending more family friendly with bright lights and open seating. It's not for me. Bring back the old Ranchito before the remodel. I also can't breathe in there anymore, using that nasty fabuloso cleaner, *asthma*“
“Passing through and decided to give it a try. The staff was super friendly and the service was prompt. The restaurant itself was clean and welcoming. I would definitely recommend it. Anything on the menu would be good and there are plenty of choices.“
“I intended to dine in out of curiosity, but I was so intrigued with the store I decided to grocery shop. This hidden gem hosts freshly cut meat, fresh fruit and vegetables, and as typical grocery items. In search of boots? Carnecería Valdez has those too.“
“I noticed this restaurant maybe a week or so before it opened, and I had told myself that I'd give it a try!Whether you're simply looking in through the large, open windows that serve as the restaurant's front-facing wall, or you take your first step into the building, you'll very quickly notice that it is very lively inside--maybe a bit too lively for some. At 6PM on a Sunday evening, It was very, very noisy in the building, as the walls seemed to echo and amplify over a hundred dining customers' voices.Despite the crowd, I am quickly seated, asked for my drink, and provided with chips and salsa. The chips are about average, though there were some in my basket that were a bit on the over/undercooked side. The salsa is pretty good, in my opinion, though I've certainly had better.I ordered three Mexican tacos, asada (steak), chorizo, and pastor (grilled pork with pineapple), wrapped in a corn tortilla with onions and Cilantro, served on a narrow, wooden block that was sized for the tacos, though I would have preferred a plate. The Cilantro didn't quite taste fresh, but the taco was very good, especially the Pastor and Chorizo! The green salsa they serve with it is good, and the spicy, darker red sauce had a nice kick.That said, I think the three Mexican tacos are a little overpriced. You can order any one of those tacos a la carte for $4 each, but 3 tacos would be $15. I would have appreciated a fourth taco at that price point, and you could probably get two tacos and some side for nearly $15 and have more food. I think they should adjust the "3 for $X" pricing if they want to sell these more frequently.Customer service was good. You can definitely see in their faces that they're working very hard to serve their customers, so be sure to tip them well!Overall, I enjoyed the restaurant and would recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind eating in a very noisy environment. Next time, I will order the burrito texaco!“
“Man, this place was amazing. The food was delicious and the staff was super nice. They interacted with my kids, and refills were promt. I had the fajitas, and they were absolutely amazingly tasty. We had plenty to take home for the next day.“
“We were from out of town in Brandon for an event and our son wanted Mexican food before we headed back home, google showed this to be a well liked place so we found our way. This is what I would consider a hole in the wall place, which I usually always enjoy finding such places. At night it’s not lit at all around the place, and it’s a smaller aged building. Had second thoughts but from what I could see through the windows it looked fine inside so we went in.We were promptly greeted by the waitress and she quickly had our drinks and chips and salsa to our table and ready to take our order.I always choose a dish with a steak product and was disappointed there was no steak options such as steak nachos, steak burritos, etc. She said they had shredded beef, I was confused but ordered a shredded beef burrito as I’m not a fan of ground beef plates and didn’t want chicken this time either.My wife ordered 3 hard beef tacos.My son got a chicken cheese and rice plate from the kids menu, but was portioned as big as an adult serving.The salsa was fresh tasting , chunky like store bought, and almost to much of a heat kick than we were used to back home, but I still say it was good.My burrito arrived and I realized shredded beef is Beef Roast meat. Which was okay and I really did enjoy it, the cheese dip that covered it was great as well.My wife enjoyed here tacos and I ended up eating her last one, it was good, but I felt the ground beef could have been seasoned, which is why I usually just don’t order ground beef plates anywhere, this is my typical experience we go, so I don’t fault the restaurant for this, my wife enjoyed them.My son only ate two bites of his dish, claiming it was too spicy. I think it was more he isn’t a fan of shredded chicken, I ate his left over for lunch the next day and I thought it was quite good myself and didn’t notice much spice.So final thoughts, I enjoyed my meal, the service was on point, $42 for 3 people with what we ordered I felt was a tad high, but nothing is cheap anymore. I don’t expect to return personally for the simple fact there is no fajita steak options and those are my preferred dish. But for those that like local places, shredded or ground meat dishes, it’s worth stopping in, the food is good. ?“
“Could not forget to comment about a terrific restaurant in Pearl,MS. Enroute to Hilton Head Island from Dallas found this place for dinner. Mexican restaurant in Pearl, MS… I know sounds like a setup for a disappointment. Wrong. Jose’s knows Mexican food. Serves it well. Delicious food…and the chips and insanely good salsa are so addicting one will need an intervention to stop eating them. Service was great, staff very friendly and attentive. Tacos were awesome as well as the fajitas. Well played Jose’s Mexican Restaurant..,well played.“
“The food was decent wouldn't say it was the greatest thing ever. The worst part was the owner having a very loud phone conversation the whole damn time I ate. Once he finished on the phone he talked to the cashier very loud across the restaurant in the most annoying voice ever. Made me wish I was Helen “
“The food is delicious here, they are always super fast getting the food out and it still looks amazing. The fountain was a pleasant little touch to lighten the mood and keep you interested in exploring the building from where you stand in the lobby. The service was amazing, they will not rush you if it's your first time dining there which I love, the staff will also give some of the most amazing recommendations. Definitely going back another day!“
“Our first time here, arrived just off of “peak”. Around 7:40 pm. Was seated timely, served chips & salsa, given menus, spoke with server, ordered drinks… all within 2 minutes of being seated. Nice menu, lots of options, some dishes I had not seen. The kids plates had a good selection even though not needed for our visit. Our order was taken, food delivered quickly. Our server was, friendly, helpful, attentive without being intrusive. The atmosphere is great. Clean floors. All employees were in a restaurant garment of so kind, (you didn’t have to guess who worked there). Nice place. We had mid priced entrees and added an appetizer our check was a little over $30 for two. Happy customer here.Parking: Lot is Shared with Dollar General, plenty of spaces. It could be lighted better.Kid-friendliness: We had no children in our party, but we seen the servers entertaining kids at other tables.“
