This however has both a great modern Mexican style that doesn't shy away from fresh ingredients and delicious traditional dishes. The carnitas I had with a side of the verde salsa was fantastic.

Service was on point as well checking often to refill beverages and ask how everyone was doing.

I would've been better off stopping at a taco truck or even grabbing something from the Publix next door. To make matters worse, I ordered ahead and still stood around waiting for 10 minutes. No one acknowledged me when I walked in, so I made my way to the bar, where I continued to wait. For $20, I expected better portions, better service, and an overall better experience. Definitely a waste of time and money.

We were just in the area so I decided to check out this restaurant because it seemed like the type…read moreof food that we would want in a moment. So we entered and we were walked over to a booth outside where we made our order. I cannot recall what my order was, but I believe it was a chicken fajita and it was absolutely delicious. What about two or three wraps that came attached to it. My friend got the chicken, shrimp and I believe steak bowl. She enjoyed hers as well. The best part about the meal was probably the drinks. Those were super strong and definitely made their way through us as we enjoyed our meal along with conversation. The best part about this restaurant is probably the fact that it was empty/lunchtime at the moment so we were served and taken care of extremely well. We left a generous tip and if I'm ever in the area for Mexican food, I'll certainly be back.

Several employees were comfortably hanging out in a booth, laughing and having what looked like the employee reunion of the year, while customers were left to figure things out on their own. After realizing we had become invisible, we made our way to the bar and waited about eight minutes for the bartender. We ordered a Pinot Grigio and a Bacardi and Diet Coke--a request we assumed wouldn't require a treasure map. The bartender then informed us, in so many words, that he wasn't sure what white rum was. He wandered off in search of this mysterious mythical spirit... and was never seen again. I'm assuming he's still out there somewhere, bravely searching the seven seas for Bacardi. After another four minutes of waiting, we decided to make our own great escape. We left thirsty, amused, and wondering if we had accidentally wandered into an improv comedy show instead of a restaurant. One star for the free entertainment. Zero stars for the service.

Senorita's Mexican Kitchen is on Bowden Road in the southside of Jacksonville, Florida and is an…read moreamazing option if you are craving Mexican and in the area. Walking in, the ambiance was pleasant enough. Nothing high-end or overly fancy, but pleasant and had murals of women painted on the wall. The service was friendly and only added to our overall experience here. We both went with items off of the lunch menu, which was like eleven dollars and included a drink. I went with their bowl and my client had the California burrito. While my bowl was very good, the California burrito looked absolutely amazing and my client raved about it. Senorita's Mexican Kitchen is in a rather nondescript shopping plaza, but it made for no issues with parking. I would definitely recommend a visit here and I will say that I will return to Senorita's Mexican Kitchen. I will give Senorita's Mexican Kitchen five stars for a great lunch.

But my party and I were turned off by the fact that they let a group of people bring a puppy inside the restaurant. The puppy was eating bits of food off the floor and jumping on servers and food runners, the kids would pick up the dog and put it near the table so I hope tables are deeply sanitized. Not sure they'd have the same energy if I came in with my 70lb Doberman... Dog was not a service animal and it just really wasn't a great first impression of this place, which is unfortunate because servers were nice, the food was good and decently priced, and it was decorated nicely. Unfortunately I am unsure how I feel because this is unsanitary, and I am a dog owner myself. Please just don't do this. You never know who is watching or in your restaurant.

We ordered the Elotes off the cob ($11.99) and the Molcajete ($30) which is grilled fajita steak, chicken, chorizo, shrimp, onions, nopal cactus and cheese. We also ordered one Margarita ($16). We first experienced a Molcajete in a restaurant in Mazatlan, Mexico and fell in love with it and all of its ingredients including the cactus. This Molcajete at Cocina Maya was soooo tasty. Served in an actual Molcajete which is made from lava rock and it holds the heat very very well. We shared this between the two of us and still had a decent amount to bring home with us. The Elotes was very tasty and the corn was nice and firm and it was perfect. Service was friendly and attentive. The dining room is light in colors and there is a lot of light that shines through the windows. This restaurant is a good distance from our home, and well worth the drive to it. We most definitely recommend this tasty restaurant.

Unfortunately, the restaurant experience was pretty disappointing compared to that first impression. The space itself feels a little sterile, although the service staff was friendly and nice. We ordered the al pastor and chicken tacos, and I also tried the tamales and my friend's fish tacos. Unfortunately, everything felt a bit dry and under-seasoned. The masa on the tamales in particular was very dry. The drinks were just okay as well, they tasted pretty weak compared to the cocktails we had at the Yelp event. It's a shame because I really enjoyed what I tried at the event and went in expecting a lot more. Maybe we just caught them on an off day, but based on the difference between the two experiences, I left pretty disappointed.

We ordered the enchiladas, which came with rice and a salad. And when I say salad, I mean WHO KNEW A SIDE SALAD COULD BE THAT GOOD?! Seriously, it was so fresh and delicious that I'd happily order it all by itself! The décor was lovely, the atmosphere was upbeat, everything was clean, and the food was FRESH, FRESH, FRESH! You can absolutely taste the difference, and we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Now, my only "complaint" -- and I hesitate to even call it that -- is more of a cultural shock to our Mexican-restaurant-loving souls. Apparently, the chips and salsa come with a $4 charge rather than being complimentary, as we've come to expect at pretty much every other Mexican restaurant we've visited in our lives. We were a little taken aback and, on principle, decided to pass on that particular $4 experience. ‍ But honestly, that little surprise didn't take away from an otherwise wonderful lunch. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and we'll absolutely be back! Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for fresh, flavorful Mexican food in a clean, inviting atmosphere. Just know that the chips and salsa aren't on the house!
