An unexpected gem in the rough…read more Look, I love hole in the walls, and yes... there are places I judge solely on the "look" of places, but even I know you can't judge a book by its cover. I found myself in Gainesville... not a place I typically go on a daily basis. I needed to grab a bite, I needed to do it quickly, and fast food was just not going to work for me... Driving around I passed this place 2x times before finally giving up and saying to myself... "ugh... ok let's try it". Glad I did. They welcomed me in as if I was a regular there, someone that they see all the time. Not special in the slightest but also not a stranger in the least bit. It was comforting... homely... nice. The nice waitress provided me a menu, asked if I wanted a drink and brought over a basket of chips and salsa, both fresh and delicious. Found my way to the enchiladas and crossed my fingers. Within a few chips and minutes my plate arrived. Decently portioned and hot. Initial thoughts were "man, I'm hungry" and "that came quick!". It did not disappoint. Have I had better? You bet I have... was this good? Well... I finished it without complaint. Decent food, clean and welcoming, good price and a place anyone would be proud to say "I go to Mi Casa for Mexican food". Try'em... you may just be surprised.

So glad we did. This was a delightful Mexican restaurant. Loved the guacamole made tableside to our specifications as well as our entrées. I had the bacon wrapped shrimp stuffed with cheese. Highly recommend it alongside my dish was also beans and rice. My husband did the sour cream, chicken enchiladas, and cleaned his plate. Fresh tortilla chips and a delightfully yummy salsa. Staff was attentive and efficient. The restaurant itself was decorated in a lovely contemporary mode and was clean. There is also outdoor patio dining available. Looking forward to visiting this location every time we come to the Eagles Canyon Raceway.
