Mexican Restaurants near Gainesville

“Did NOT disappoint! Enjoyed a tasty meal at La Finca this weekend. Staff was friendly and attentive. Most important, the food was delish. Salsa was smooth--just a hint of heat and not too much cilantro. Beef and chicken flautas offered a great crunch and tender meat filling. Chile relleno, filled with melty cheesy goodness, was a hit! The skinny margarita was as you'd expect--good, but not quite the punch of a regular margarita. The mango-habanero shrimp was a beautiful presentation and the sauce packed a great, sweet kick--minus a star for shrimp being really over cooked (easy fix for the kitchen, though). Sounds like the new management team is off to a promising start and we can't wait to visit again!“

“Excellent food and service!! Friendly staff reasonably priced. Very nice and clean restaurant. I highly recommend!!!“

“We came, we ate, and the portions were great. I forgot to take a photo beforehand... so you’re seeing the some of the aftermath! 📸
The staff was on point for a busy Saturday night. We had reservations, checked in easily, and were seated within minutes despite how crowded it was. Our waitress was attentive and genuinely thoughtful—she checked on us multiple times after the food arrived and even made sure our kid was taken care of without us having to ask (which, let’s be honest, is rare).
As for the food: fantastic. My husband ordered the fajitas and immediately noticed the difference ...the onions were perfectly caramelized, not burned or overly charred. And yes, I fully appreciated the sizzle. I ordered the quesadillas, and they were cheesy, well-filled, and cooked just right and you can tell the tortillas were fresh! We will be back!“

“My daughter has food allergies. It is not ever day we get to eat out and have a "normal" meal. You have a wonderful employee name Kiernan who was super patient and knowledgeable. She shared experiences with his own allergies and made me feel comfortable with our choice of restaurant forsure!“

“I mean you know what you're getting with taco bell. The only thing that I have an issue with which is with all fast food places now is that they are trying to force you to use the digital self-checkout. So now the only way that you can have a good interaction to see the drive-thru. Way to express us out.“

“Always a good experience when we go in and order. Food is good, service is friendly. Maybe understaffed because a lot of times tables are dirty. Ordering to go or delivery has always been an issue and order has been wrong every single time. As long as you can eat in or take it to go, this Chipotle is great!“

“Tried the tortas and they were a bit lacking in meat, the places in manassas fill them up more. Nonetheless, it does have good flavor and the spicy sauce is bussin. Got a tamal as well but fell it was reheated in the microwave, the corners crusted, but they are flavorful. Haven’t tried the tacos yet, so will come back for them.“

“Looking for that “go where everybody knows your name” kind of place? That’s exactly what you get at Hector’s of Nokesville. From the moment you walk in, you’re more than just a customer you’re family. The food? Legendary. Especially the breakfast sampler it’s the kind of meal that hits just right, every time. I’ve been to Hector’s so many times, I don’t even have to order anymore. They know me like Norm from Cheers, and honestly… I’m not mad about it. If you want good food, good folks, and that warm, small-town feel that’s getting harder to find these days Hector’s is the spot. Highly recommend you swing by. But fair warning: after a few visits, they just might memorize your order too.“

“My brother and I tried La China Poblana Taqueria for the first time today. Having grown up in San Diego, we have been searching for an authentic, family restaurant experience for a long while since moving up the DC area. ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. Service was spot on. Food was on point. We can't recommend this place enough. The birria tacos and quesadilla were fantastic. My brother also tried their lingua and loved it. Also, their fresh guacamole... I haven't had guacamole this good since I left California 23 years ago.“

“This is such a great Mexican restaurant in South Riding and also family owned. The prices are great and portions large. Salsa is amazing! That is one thing that keeps me coming back. The only thing I’d work on is better crafted margaritas. They have the frozen in the machine that are OK.“
