    So many great choices!
    Dawn M.

    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!

    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.

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

Greeted and sat right away- 5 of us. Hostess nice, server nice. Right away had two large bowls of chips and two types of salsa brought to us. Chips were good, just added salt. Unfortunately it went downhill from there. And we were patient, super patient. It was a Friday, but it was not overly crowded, like I said - seated immediately around 7:40. Drinks, took over 30 minutes for a pineapple one and three skinny- we joked the food would arrive first, but we were very wrong. Then, the waitress waited for us to try- I think it was a newer person at the bar. We tried to like it, but somehow it tasted like flat sprite.our server took them away and made us them herself. Now, those were great. Small side of guac was brought after that- meant to go with the meal, but we were so hungry we just ate with the chips. It was very good- fresh tasting. Then we waited. And waited some more. Asked about the food, then waited some more. Finally, we cut our losses and asked for the check minus the food that never came. The band was starting next door and we wanted to celebrate the bday girl. Pic 1, text just after 8pm- shows me joking that I was going to eat my friends food since she was headed over from next door and taking a bit and we had ordered 10 minutes prior. Pic 2, text shows us giving up- 9pm. So over an hour wait on food that never arrived - even if busy that would be a deal breaker. We were excited to try it too- disappointed.

I ordered the 3-taco lunch special. But I should have given my taco's some thought. I got 1 fish (I should have gotten this in a soft shell) the 904 taco and the one night, with ground beef. The chips, I felt like they came right out of the oil, freshly fried. The taco shells, I think they came out of a box or bag! Now that that's out of the way! I'm not on the West Coast! The fish on the fish taco was good, but I felt like I just wanted some tartar sauce and some fries. It wasn't a good fit for the taco to me. and again, I put it on the wrong tortilla. The skirt steak taco, the meat wasn't very tender, and not much flavor. The only sauce I had was the salsa, so that helped out this taco and the ground beef taco as well. Now, I was really surprised, the ground beef taco (one night taco) stole the show. It was seasoned well, and it was just good! I just wish the taco shells were better. This is a good hang out spot, they offer 2 for 1 drinks YESSSSS! So a great spot to hang out with friends and family. I didn't get to enjoy that part! But I think I will check it out one of these days.
