Tex-Mex Restaurants near Gainesville

“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!“

“Excellent food, everything is freshly prepared...definitely recommend and the service exceptional.“

“Love ❤️ eating at Tipicos Los Reyes. We live only 1 mile away. And have eaten there many times. My wife always get the Mundongo soup 🍲 and I’m in love 😍 with the pupusa dish. The food is Awesome and the waitresses are beautiful and friendly. I recommend this to everyone!“

“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.“

“Excellent experience! The restaurant and bathrooms were clean and tastefully decorated, all waitstaff and managers were friendly and kind, and the food was perfect. Ingredients were fresh, flavors were bold and authentic, selection was great. We will be back soon!“

“I love this restaurant! For years it has been a favorite. The food is great and so is the service.“

“Enjoyed a delicious dinner with my family this evening. Friendly, attentive service and great food. I loved the California fish taco. We will be back soon!“

“I've been coming here every Tuesday evening with my family for almost 20 years. We park our car a half mile away and make the ritualistic hike into the boggy mosquito infested marshy stream that is Elkick Run. The only time we've ever missed a single weekly session was once when I was briefly a POW in Afgan.

I've never had any complaints. Until this last Tuesday. When we ordered our platter of 55 tacos, and what we were served could hardly be seen to be believed. These tacos are so small. I weep for the past.

I have attached a picture of the tacos next to my cat in the dining area for scale. Look at how small these tacos are. The tacos are right next to my cat. You can't even see them! 🥺🥺🥺“

“Service was great, very attentive and friendly. Server greeted us almost immediately, continued to offer refills and made some great recommendations.

We tried the BBQ Brisket quesadilla as an appetizer which was delicious! For my meal, I got the crispy chicken sandwich which was sadly inedible. The chicken was dark gray and tough like leather, to the point I couldn’t actually bite into the sandwich. Definitely grossed me out, but the fries were good. My partner got the Cajun shrimp pasta which he loved.“

“My daughter keeps asking when we can go back all the time.“

“This is the sports bar we've been waiting for in Haymarket. The service is amazing, the wings and food are great and they seem to have added a lot more flavors. The beer is ice cold and the atmosphere is everything you could want in a local sports bar. They even had the Battlefield football game on the first night we were here. This place gets it and is doing everything right.“

“This is not TexMex food. It's New Mexico style food! If you like TexMex, you'll LOVE Anita's. It has different flavors and sauces than TexMex. They use New Mexico ingredients, including Hatch red and green chilies, have impart great flavors to all of their dishes.“
