    Tijuana Cesar Salad $11 add Shrimp $6 (4/5 stars)
    Tiffany C.

    Oh man, that was the best queso blanco I have had in a long time! Perfect consistency and creaminess. Flavor beyond that of just melted cheese and a jalapeño. Chips were nice and salty, not too thick, just thin enough. The shrimp Street Tacos and Tijuana Cesar were both very good. The food really was the best part of our dining experience. Service was just okay, but I believe that was due to a poor management decision and not for his lack of trying. Our server had tables in every corner of the restaurant and was on the move constantly. Usually I don't give a second thought at a restaurant to (non-alcoholic) drinks because it is so mundane, everyone usually carries the basics. But they only carry unsweetened tea (this is the south right?) and had no other options that were non-alcoholic and not soda, not even lemonade? Okay, water it is I guess. But then the water was just awful, it tasted mildewy. Overall, the food was so good we will be back but for takeout, so we can enjoy filtered water at home lol. (Note to Mgmt: Please bring back the sweet tea?! Or offer lemonade?)

    Quesadilla

    While in town for homecoming weekend, we stopped by for lunch. We arrived at 12:45 after the parade with a reservation and were seated right away. To my surprise, the menu was extremely shortened and only offered 4-5 options for game day weekend. This was a disappointment but understandable. My original pick wasn't on the menu so I settled for the chicken quesadilla and it was delicious. My partner had the shrimp burrito. Our waitress was great. Cute interior and atmosphere.

    OK we were about to go to Canes when the line was out the door. So we decided to try the Cantina for lunch today. What a happy accident. We weren't even planning to eat lunch, so we got a set of three chicken street tacos and the Mexican trifecta, which is basically guacamole, queso, salsa, and chips. We just wanted to get this place a try. Some of my favorite Taquerias in town are Sublime and 365. I have to say though this place gives them a run for their money. Definitely more upscale with a really huge bar and ample outside seating. The music is on the loud side so if you wanted a quiet, romantic getaway, this is not it. If you wanted a happening bar to watch some sports on no less than eight TV sets, than this is your place. Super fun. One downside would be parking. As it's the right across from campus obviously parking isn't the greatest. But a great place to walk to for a really delicious lunch. Well what we got would probably be considered an appetizer and tacos for one, there's more than enough food for two people. I'm definitely going to be coming back to try some of the specialties and maybe even order a margarita or two.

    Steak fajitas.

    We always stop in Gainesville on our way back home from a family vacation each summer. This place is one of the best experiences we have had at a restaurant here. I love the open concept and layout of the restaurant. It's not cramped and claustrophobic like alot of other options in the area. They had a great food and beverage selection. The music and vibes made it an even better dinner experience. Our waitress was so nice! She accommodated our three year old's needs and preferences even though they didn't have a kids menu. I forget her name, I think it started with an "M" , like "Mika, or Mila." We had the Mexican trio as an app. The queso and salsa were so delicious! Then for our entree we split the steak fajitas and my daughter was able to get a "taco bowl" with rice beans and chicken. We will definitely stop here again next year!

    Great spot to grab drinks after a Gators basketball or football game. Outdoor bar seating and spacious indoor seating. Surprisingly it's a bit hard to find a bar to duck into after a Gators game so we found this place. We ordered drinks which was cheap (2 gin and tonic for $22) and chips and queso and gauc .

    When I saw this place being built while up in gnv on weekends, I was expecting another party spot with mediocre food. Thankfully I was quite wrong. The spot is beautiful and definitely has great vibes, but the food is excellent too. The fajitas were very good. Service was good, but not great. Looking to come back!

    The view is unmatched with University of Florida directly across the street the music is such a vibe, the scenery and decor gives a social atmosphere both day and night... Catina Anejo is the spot to come for a delicious bite and social sip! Don't forget to ask for the best bar tender Bri they have amazing fast service!

    Chicken Enchiladas!

    Great space. Great service. Good food/drink. Walking distance from the hotel. Good in my book.

    Passion fruit with tajin rim and Mexican Trifecta!

The black bean burger and goat cheese wontons are especially worth the hype. The vibe is artsy, lively, and a little chaotic, but in a way that makes the experience fun rather than stressful. Service can be unhurried during busy hours, yet the staff stays friendly and attentive. Overall, it's a great place to settle in, enjoy good food, and soak up Gainesville's character.

In my previous reviews I Utilized a Good, Bad, and Ugly rating scale. I really like most everything about Superette. The staff are very eclectic and nice, outdoor dining is relaxing and invigorating.

Replaying last night's dinner in my head has me planning my next visit to Superette. Sunday brunch this weekend is calling my name. Oh,'one more thing, Superette is also the place to go where you will only run into the people you like. The folks you don't care for are not going to be there. Just my observation.

The sweet potato soup had a puréed, baby‑food texture, but the flavor itself was surprisingly rich and comforting. The star for me was the Tunisian casse‑croûte. The flavors were incredible; the albacore was tender and seasoned just right, the salata mechouia added this smoky, roasted pepper depth, and the pickled egg brought the perfect tangy brightness. The arugula gave it a fresh, peppery lift, and the harissa aioli tied everything together with a warm, subtle heat. The fries on top added the best crunchy contrast. Every bite was layered, bold, and so satisfying.
