50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Jacksonville

“Service was great! The food was amazing and delicious. Presentation of the food off the chain. Drinks were a little pricey. But overall a great experience.“

“Great lunch getaway in downtown! No wait, great service (Thanks Nico), awesome food!“

“Great food, awesome service.“

“Nice restaurant delivering great Mexican food. I tried a lot of different margaritas and the champions and organic margaritas were the best. The salsa was awesome, had a perfect kick. Menu had a good selection and everything was good, but the champions fajitas(pic) were amazing.Kid-friendliness: No worry about bringing kids“

“Food was excellent. Service was great. Only downside - beer and sangria/frozen marg only. No liquor license. Had the Chapel Cheesesteak burrito, kids chicken taco meal, shrimply the best, mc yum yum, & ace high carnitas tacos, and the big kahuna bowl. All delicious. Tacos are bigger than the average taco shop and therefore so are the prices. Moderate pricing. Not outrageous. We will be coming back.“

“Love this place!!!! The great food, atmosphere, owner and servers are friendly. It is a fun clean place to enjoy great food!!????????????“

“The food and service was Great!!“

“First time at Fresh-Mex & Co. Michael was beyond amazing! He made us the best margaritas and suggested the Mahi tacos and Carnitas chimi. They were both outrageously delicious. Daniel is nice but Michael is superb!!!“

“Victoria is amazing!! She walked us through popular items and had great recommendations for drinks and food. I will definitely return because of her wonderful and attentive service. The food and drinks were also excellent and the price was fair. Overall, an excellent experience!“

“Finding authentic latin food is super hard in the beaches area. This place has been on our radar for a while, we finally went tonight. I wanted to write this before our food even came out. Our server, Suner was super nice. Hardworking and just pleasant. The food was absolutely amazing. Havent found better tacos or queso. I got the molcajete and it was phenomenal. Horchata FRESH. WAAYYYYY better than an “upscale” place like The Flying Iguana. Definitely coming back.“

“great food, great place, great customer service, run by a neighborhood local, highly recommend.“

“This food was amazing!! The most authentic i’ve had since being in Mexico. I would 100% recommend this food truck to everyone!! The guys who were working were super kind and the service was very quick. 10/10!!!“

“the best!!!!!“

“We've been to El Cabo a handful of times since they opened and they have been pretty consistent. We have gone in the afternoon or early evening and it's been calm at those times. The service is always friendly and prompt and the food is served quickly and fresh.The atmosphere is family friendly- alcohol is available but I've never seen anyone get rowdy. The dining room and restrooms are very spacious and always very clean.I tried several dishes and everything was good but nothing blew me away until I tried the pork burrito on a whim. It was SO good, and will now be my go-to order.Even our five year old, who is not a big fan of Mexican food, will eat chips and the chicken from an enchilada.Wheelchair accessibility: Disabled parking is right outside the door. The spacing between tables is generous. The hallway to the restrooms is wide and the doors are not too heavy. The large stall is huge, plenty of room to maneuver a wheelchair.“

“Delicious food and great people! Family owned & operated and they are so nice!“

“Every time that I stop in Jacksonville overnight, I always go to Lola's for happy hour. Margaritas are excellent, street corn is a must on or off the cob, the dip trio- salsa, guacamole, and queso dip are all great. But this last time there Marie made our experience much better. She was courteous and very professional, yet she joked around with our table. This was the first time we had the pleasure of her waiting on us. She is a great asset to Lola's. Thank you!I am shocked that I did not take any pictures. I guess the food looked so good. We just dove right in!“

“Food and service are wonderful. However it's a restaurant not a sports bar. Watch the baseball games at home! Not in the dining room of a family restaurant. And either work, or watch the game. Very unprofessional and not so sanitary to be back and forth working in the kitchen, and hanging out with friends and family in the dining room watching the game. If this continues I will be forced to not return, which is sad because the food is so good and the buffet is never boring!!“

“Their staff is the best in city! Friendly, funny, and they care!“

“It’s really good 10/10 recommended!!!“

“Delicious tacos, different but delicious flavor, tasty with fresh flavor. You have to try them. They give you the option on the menu to order mixed tacos and you can try several. I ordered birria, asada, al pastor. All three were delicious with their well-prepared consommé. The truth is they have to come here.“

“First time in and I got the cream get the money which he recommended at the counter and was really blown away with the flavor. The chipotle crema is not too spicy and so delicious. I got mine with crispy chicken and it was moneyyyy. Strongly recommend this new place!!“

“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.“

“Very good food and service“

“Attended the opening! My husband and I had a wonderful time. Great service, great food, great atmosphere! We will be back!“

“we absolutely love the steak supreme quesadillas !!we eat there at least three times a week, the food is always fresh and amazing and the customer service is always the best. highly recommend to anyone and everyone !!one of the best food trucks around!“

“We stopped by here one day, decided to try this place out. First of all our server was amazing and extremely attentive. The food was pretty good. I’ve had better, but the food was pretty decent, but the great service we received made up for any issues we had at all. We loved her so much we were trying to get her to come work at a restaurant near where we lived so we wouldn’t have to drive so far to get to have such great service again the chicken taco was good but could’ve used a little more cheese and the chicken enchilada was good but needed more cheese and more sauce but like I said, the service was amazing she apologize she asked us to please try it again and we probably will. The servers name was Jackie … my husband was impressed and he is never impressed !!!!“

“I ordered the chimichanga with vegan beef and it was amazing! So happy I found Mexican food with meat alternatives. Food was delivered to me hot and fresh. Came with chips and salsa, vegan queso and vegan sour cream. This is my new go to spot!“

“Very delicious and affordable! My favorite is the beef street tacos. You have to try the churros as well.“

“Good food, good price and friendly atmosphere.“

“Went for lunch and everything was amazing! Service was excellent ( thank you Gervin ). We never had to ask for anything. Our drinks were always full and the food was hot and fresh. Been looking for a good Mexican restaurant and we've finally found it.“

“I looove this place I've been coming for more than 2 years (I'm a regular now), to me they're the best authentic mexican tacos in Jax. A hidden gem.My dad who came to visit from Mx tried them and said that they were better than 70% of the taco spots in our hometown (in Gto, Mx). Thats all Im gonna say❤️ hands down the best authentic tacos in JaxLoveooo!! Authentic Mexican tacos, I have been a regular customer for more than two years (even a friend of Don Pascual), my dad came to visit from Gto and I took him for practicality at night, he commented that they are tastier than 70% of the taquerias from our city in Mexico, with that I tell you everything….Pic below my husband with the owner Don Pascual“

“What amazing food and service!! The Margaritas are banging!!“

“Food was amazing... Very authentic and delicious“

“The service was great. The lady serving me was such a kind person. She tolerated my bastardizing her native language with great humor.She continually came to make sure everything was going good and was really a lovely person.The atmosphere was authentic Mexican. From the decor to the music it was great.The portions on the food was excellent, however, the California Burrito was bland. Huge, but bland. It had very little flavor but it was quite filling.Overall the experience was nice, not great, but nice.Will I recommend them, yes. Maybe it was my taste buds. I will be back and give it another shot.“

“During a recent business trip to Jacksonville from Canada, I had the pleasure of dining at Cantina Louie, a recommendation from some local colleagues. The moment I stepped inside, I was charmed by its cute and lively ambiance, making it a perfect spot for both friendly gatherings and family outings with younger children.The restaurant boasts an extensive menu that caters to a wide array of tastes, ensuring that every guest can find something to enjoy. As someone who aims to sample nachos at as many different venues as possible, I was thrilled with their offering. Additionally, the staff at Cantina Louie were notably helpful and contributed to a seamless dining experience. The presence of a gift shop added a unique touch, allowing guests to take a piece of their experience home.Overall, Cantina Louie stands out as a must-visit location in Jacksonville. Whether you're a local or just passing through, the inviting atmosphere and delicious food promise a memorable time. I highly recommend it and look forward to returning on my next visit to the area.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“Our bar tender was our server and mixologist (bar tender) which is why I give a 4 star on service. Because he was doing double duty, things were slightly slower on coming out. But in all honesty. This gentleman was amazing. Polite, and sweet. The alcoholic drinks were absolutely amazing. And the food was yummy. Really delicious. My husband and I will be back again, without a doubt. Fair pricing for the quality of the drinks and food! Great portions.Absolutely recommend.“

“My sister and I are regulars at Rosys...we usually get to go orders.. and I always have tacos.. well tacos don't travel well...so they put everything in containers and the shells in a box... so I can make it the way I want it...We always get some guacamole and it's always fresh and delicious..we get some Pico and it's always fresh and delicious...Deb loves her chilli pepper..we are having dinner tonight Rosys at the house..“

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

“We had the pleasure of visiting this food truck at Duval De Mayo. The BEST salmon taco ever. GUAC was made FRESH…you can see the chunks of avocado. The shrimp taco had large shrimp inside. The cheese was delicious! Steak and pork tacos were POPPIN’! Where has this truck been all my life???“

Beautiful panaderia and store for Spanish speaking folks but really cosmopolitan, welcoming all folks who love people from every cultural persuasion. Really nice, friendly employees.

Not five stars but 10 because every time me and my wife come here it has been a beautiful experience.“
