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!

Definitely my favorite place for Mexican food on the Island. The service is always stellar and the…read morefood portions generous, fresh and delicious. I recommend starting with the Texas fries. Love the queso cheese with this appetizer. I never skip their tamales here. Consistently tasty and fresh like your abuela and aunties just made them. There's affordable lunch specials and I try to go for their specials. The Texas rice full of steak, shrimp and heavenly flavors was my most recent meal. It was great! My brother went with the Cray Cray Burrito that comes with a huge side of fries. A very generous size and delicious, too. (You know I had to take a bite!) This casual dining establishment is consistently welcoming with an professional and attentive staff. Our server, Gus, made great recommendations and we decided to go for everything he suggested. I absolutely love when the staff makes excellent suggestions. Ultimately, I am always super happy with the flavors, menu variety, the value, the service and my overall experience every time I visit. Highly recommend!

Who goes to a crowded restaurant on Cinco de Mayo? Well me and family do lol…read more We went to Mr. Gordo's Tacos & Cantina in Fleming Island off the 17 and it was a good time. I was shocked by the wait only being at 5 minutes for 3. Yay I love that! Before we start let me sip my margarita. I had the iced peach margarita and my husband had the frozen watermelon margarita. Now the ambiance was very nice! Very colorful and bright nice paintings on the wall. People were doing karaoke the music was going and the DJ was good! I was dancing at my table and eating and having a grand ole time! We had a great server name Gus that was extremely nice and patient with us as we were deciding on what we wanted. We started off with chips and salsa and normally I'm not a big fan of salsa with chunky veggies in it but surprisingly it was good. To order my son had the kids soft chicken taco with rice and beans. My Husband was BIG HUNGRY! He had a carne asada taco salad that looked extra yummy. He also had 4 Mexican street tacos 2 of them were carne asada and the other 2 were Al pastor. Now for me.....the review you all have been waiting for lol. I had the queso-birria tacos with the consomé and rice and beans. The rice and beans were chefs kiss. The meat was good and juicy however the flavor was lacking there and with the consomé I was highly disappointed. Besides my food being underwhelming the vibes were high today at the restaurant and the service was excellent. If I'm up for it I'll give their tacos a try in the future.

Love this place. Can't say enough about one of my top two restaurants to go to in Green Cove…read moreSprings. Service is always friendly and prompt. If you come during the middle of the day, there's a happy hour you can take advantage of. They also have daily specials to include both food and alcoholic beverages. If you're interested in deliver or takeout, I've seen them extend the Taco Tuesday special on Uber Eats as well for those days where you can't get to the restaurant itself. The restaurant can get a little busier Friday and weekend nights. The food itself is above average for standard Mexican-American fare. Personally, I love their street tacos consisting of a variety of different meats of your choice. The Mariachi Burrito and their birria-related offerings are also excellent choices. Every table comes with a free serving of their fresh chips and tasty homemade salsa. As for drinks, there's an abundance of choices from Mexican coke and a ton of different margaritas. When it's finally time to go, they offer the ability to pay by phone in addition to having the server process the card. It makes getting out a ton easier. With that being said, give this place a shot. I've tried most of their nearby competitors at this point, and they don't compare.

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.
