We found Las Carretas Mexican Restaurant in Gainesville through a last-minute Facebook Valentine's…read moreDay event, and WOW what a surprise! The event said no reservations needed, so we showed up not realizing how popular it would be. The place was PACKED with a line out the door! Even so, we only waited about 25 minutes for a table on Valentine's Day, which honestly wasn't bad at all considering the crowd. We went specifically for their Valentine's special: 2 margaritas, fajitas for two, and dessert, such a great deal! The margaritas were delicious. We ordered the Rita sampler and the blueberry margarita tasted like blueberry pie, so fresh, organic, and absolutely yummy. We also ordered homemade guacamole, which was delectable, paired with fresh, crispy homemade chips. Our fajitas included steak, pork, chicken, and shrimp, and everything was cooked to perfection. The flavors were incredible!!! And can we talk about the restaurant itself? It's HUGE! It felt like one of those multi-level Times Square NYC restaurants, with multiple floors and even outside patio seating. It was like a magic trick walking through it! Our waitress, Lia, was fantastic, attentive, helpful, and so sweet despite how busy it was. The staff worked incredibly hard all night and it showed. Plentiful parking, amazing food, great atmosphere. We will definitely be back to this hidden gem we didn't even know existed in town. Thank you for making our Valentine's Day special after a long day of yard work

When we arrived, it was very busy, but there was places for people to sit. It's Tuesday lunch hour. There was at least three groups of 8+ tables multiple booths with 2 to 4 people there was plenty of open seats at the bar. I would say from ordering to sitting down our food arrived probably in five minutes. It was so quick. And the quickness did not take away from the deliciousness. The food was fresh, and Tasty we will definitely return! For the margarita lovers ...They offer Full bar and they had margaritas listed for buy one get one from 11 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday!

The queso and the creamy jalapeño dip are worth the trip alone. We can eat our weight in them because they are soooo yummy. We all love the steak burritos and my husband usually gets the steak quesadillas because he loves the veggies in them. My son is picky and just gets the grilled chicken and dips it in their yummy queso. It's a great family outing for us!

It is…read morecasual but authentic "Non Tex" Mexican, Latin and Spanish food delicious tasting better than when made at home! In the grocery you can find various grocery items including fresh and packaged. There is breakfast, lunch and dinner and taco Tuesday which can get packed. I love the burritos, quesadillas, carnitas, fajitas and fresh guacamole. They're fabulous with a great selection of prepared foods, deli, and vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. The workers here are helpful even though this place can get extremely hectic. I'm positive that a lot has to do with the excellent management. At La Hacienda it is apparent that they care deeply about the community and their customers! This is the kind of store that many visit daily for something quick to eat and a chat. They may have forgot an ingredient and walking in is comforting and convenient at the same time! We always go back !

The decor was very festive, but overall the premises have definitely seen better days. The wall paint was peeling in places and the ceiling tiles were stained. Definitely an older place. But the service was very friendly. The salsa was delicious, as were the spicy and verde sauces that came with it. I loved the enchiladas. The bistek con mole was my favorite. My husband's Toluca had an amazing flavor, but the ribeye was very thin and a little tough. Would recommend the dish but maybe the chicken version. All and all, we are not running back, but we'd come by again in the future if we're out on that side of town.

One year later back again to what was my favorite Mexican restaurant. Rereading my previous I saw…read morethat on my prior review they mixed up my meal. This time more of the same ... almost like watching a comedy. Seated there were delicious chips and salsa on the table and drink orders were taken promptly. That was great. The servers were friendly and promptly took our orders. We had approximately 20 diners. When the food came my fajitas were nice and hot. My #1 complaint is food not served hot. The fajitas came but not the second dish with the toppings or the tortillas to put them in. The toppings arrived but no tortillas ... which I asked for three times. When they came ... nice and hot my food was already cooling down. Not good. The person across from me got their meal but no silverware. After at least six requests for silverware, one time he was brought a takeout carton, finally silverware came. Tasting his meal he told the waiter it was beef and supposed to be chicken. Meal replaced. After everyone was served on person didn't get their meal. Everyone was eating he was waiting. Finally the meal was served. The servers delivering the meals were asking who is number 15 etc. were we supposed to to know numbers? No one mentioned it. It's a nice place but when going out and paying for a dinner the last thing needed is chaos. Two people, in the group, said that they would not return. I asked the people sitting around me on 1-5, five being the best, How would you rate the overall dining experience. The answer was 1-1-2-2-3-4. The person who arranged the event went to speak with the manager. I will be checking out some of the other options.

I've ordered nachos several times through a delivery service for about a year, and tonight indulged and had nachos delivered. Omg, disgusting! First of all, way too much food for the box, which would be a good thing if edible, soggy, cold, limp, very little other than steamed chips. Had to dig for the chicken, and usually I bring extra chicken home as there is so much! I cannot even explain the box of cold, steamed, tasteless, pile of garbage that was delivered. Never again
