(Translated by Google) Please, when you buy, check the receipt that you are always wrong and overcharge. The food is very rich but quite scarce.(Original)Por favor cuando compren comprueben el comprobante que siempre se equivocan y cobran de más.La comida muy rica pero bastante escasa.

Today was my first time eating here and I have got to say the food is really good. My only problem with the food was that the meat in both my meal and my grandma's meal was slightly bland. Other than that it was great. The service was also great.

(This review is for my picky eater friends ) First I want to say service is fast for Everything being made fresh everytime ,which is amazing and food is delicious when made correctly , prices are really low for the amount of food you’re getting (nachos can feed 2)Now for the cons this is not picky eater friendly especially when in a rush ALWAYS CHECK YOUR FOOD . I have visited now twice and had my order made wrong . I asked for no sour cream On two separate trips and in the first trip I had time to sit and wait for them to remake after messing it up . This time I was in a rush and was extremely saddened when I got back to work and sat down and realized sour cream (not queso blanco which it also comes with ) was drizzled all over my plate under the mountain of cheese .

Horrible. I ordered delivery & after waiting 45 minutes our order was cancelled. Despite the other glowing reviews, I'm not giving this place another chance.

This food is delicious! I’ve only eaten there one time so far but I loved it ,I’m definitely going back for more . I ordered the steak torta and it was delicious! I definitely encourage others to try this place out ,I’m sure they won’t be disappointed.

I almost turned around when I realized this place was in the food court of the Orange Park mall. But I tried it anyway and glad I did. The tacos were delicious and they cooked them fresh on the grill right in front of you. Two Mexican dudes behind the counter speaking Spanish to each other but completely comfortable speaking English with me. The cilantro, onions and tomatoes were freshly cut and the provided hot sauce put the icing on the cake for me. Please give this place a shot. It's really good.

Fresh and made to order! Really delicious quesadilla. Hard to believe they are in the mall!

Sope and street corn were just perfect! They had flavor and the green sauce also has flavor. Will definitely come back!

I know this restaurant is in the food court of the Orange Park Mall but man, oh man! To look at their menu you would think it's a legit sit down Mexican restaurant! From Chimichangas to huevos rancheros, and everything in between. I had a Beef Chimichanga, it was delicious. They have 4 desserts at least! Flan, churros, etc. They offer 4 different types of meat in their dishes. The prices were low to fair, a great deal really. I can't wait to go back. The only thing I would have them change is to offer more types of hot sauces. I'm going to the mall more often for sure!

6pm Monday. Ordered one pork and one chicken taco and a steak nacho. All cooked to order (tortillas and meats). The veggies were all fresh. $13 It was great! Fresh and well seasoned. The tacos had meat, cilantro, and onion. Very simple but great taste. The nachos had meat, refried beans, cilantro, lettuce, tomato, sour cream quartered jalapeños and queso cheese sauce. The refried beans were ok but didn't go well with the nachos. Over powered all other flavors, whole black beans would be better. The chicken or pork tasted and felt better than the steak. Other than that it all tasted very good and fresh. It was enough for two people. Definitely better than Moe's and Taco Hell across the way. UPDATED: So I've been a few times and noticed the food is WAY better in the evenings. The day cook and cashier, while super friendly, don't care as much as the owner. The ingredients aren't as fresh and the meat isn't nearly as seasoned/marinated. Also they are late opening, have been twice around 11am and they were closed. If you do try it out, go in the evenings or when an older gentleman is working.

Whoaaaa. This was a surprise. I do not expect a legit Mexican food joint in the middle of the mall. The sad part is I saw more people in line for Taco Bell and Moe's than this place. Nothing against those restaurants but I will never pass up local, authentic ethnic food if the food is comparable in pricing. I have been watching a lot of Mikey Chen on YouTube (simply dumpling) and he is on a Mexico food trip. After seeing him wolf down, I decided I had to get some Mexican food. This place had so few reviews but I figured why not. They have pretty simple meat options. No lengua or any fancy meats. Just the original tasty stuff. Pastor, asada, Pollo, chorizo. For me that's all you need. The asada, Pollo, and chorizo were all flavored to perfection. They had great strong, rich meaty flavor. My only complaint is that there was not enough meat! They had great buns for the torta and it was crisp and had a perfect softness at the same time. The pastor and the toppings just matched perfectly. Loved their sour cream too which really brought it all together. The nachos are probably worth passing on unless you really love them. They were relatively cheesy and meaty as a good nacho should be but not anything to write home about. If you like the nacho cheese you will have to ask for that extra. Lastly the burrito, excellent seasoned chicken but a little dry. Again the sour cream really helped bring it all together with the veggies. I am going to have to figure out what brand they use. I hesitate to call this my favorite Mexican place in the area. Time will tell. The pricing is relatively competitive and service was great.. For now I will still go to el Castillo first, but this place may actually be right behind it. Next time gotta try all their tacos and more!

Tried this place on a whim when I was at the food court because me and my family love authentic Mexican food and we were impressed with their nachos and quesadillas. We now come here regularly and always feel satisfied afterwards. Taste of food kind of varies though depending on who's there. Overall, this place is a must to try!
