    I order a chicken and cheese quesadillas two of them tell me why when I get home there is no chicken on them but instead black beans why would I spend $50 to not even have my food right! And when I call to order the employee taking my order was so slow and uneducated it wasn't even funny.

    We are Mexican and Tex Mex junkies. We came upon this place with a gps search and we're glad we did. Actually it didn't come up on the search, maybe to new, gps hasn't been updated in a while. Two other restaurants came up but both were closed. Lucky for us. Plenty of parking, the decor is fantastic, and the food is creative, fresh , and very good. If you are looking for standard fare Mexican food, large portions, heavy on the cheese this may not be your place. But I would encourage you to try it anyway. Our server was Christina, upbeat, helpful, attentive and not hoovering. Ann had a burrito that was delicious I had tacos very good. The sides put this place over the top to a 5 star review. I could make a meal of the Mexican rice and the refried beans. Not sure how they built such flavour into the refried beans but they were the best I have ever had and I have had many. Ann said the Margaritas were great. We sat in the booths that were built in and very comfortable we were eyeing the patio seating and will try that next visit, oh yes we will be back. Heads up if you want to have Christina to serve you make your stop evenings or weekends. We might see you there.

    First of all I apologize for waiting so long to complete this review sometimes life gets in the way of life! My wife took me here on the evening of March 15th we did come a little late but were seated and attended to quickly. Upon arrival we found ample parking both in the lot and street side along NW 1st Ave. approaching from the corner in through the lot I noticed a two post stand with a menu and speaker on it, however I forgot to ask if they had a drive through of sorts although I did not see anything that would be such. The restaurant is situated in a former home that has been redone and transformed into a really nice and functional venue. Our drink chips and house salsa was brought out quickly and I requested a sample of their house salsa verde I was pleasingly impressed with it great flavor and ample heat with great body I could have drank a quart of it! The staff appeared quite knowledgeable of the menu as well as the cooking style of the chef of the kitchen. My Wife ordered the Brisket dinner special with the street corn and the Spanish rice she was very satisfied with her meal. Me on the other hand I ordered the Baja Shrimp Tacos with street corn and black beans. I felt that the tacos were great although I would like to have had a little cilantro in them the portion size was more than adequate though. The street corn is definitely the star of the show for me and the beans, the beans were basically beans dumped from a can with no soul and completely devoid of any passion for the greatness of what this simple staple of Tex-Mex cuisine is and can be. I talked with my server about the beans and she sent the owner herself to the table I was very impressed that she, Ellen, took the time to discuss my meal with me and offered to comp the entire bill I declined her offered I really enjoyed talking with her and I will return when it's not just before closing and the kitchen isn't in the wind down mode. Before leaving Ellen brought a complimentary dish to me to have at home Chicken Enchilada Suizas all I can say is OMG what a pleasant surprise absolutely amazing so full of flavor and happiness this will definitely be a target in my next visit. I gave them five stars, yes I was disappointed with my black beans however with the direct customer support from the not only the wait staff but the owner herself and especially the gift of the Chicken Enchilada Suizas showed me that this place has so much more to offer than what one would gather from a simple visit for a late meal. I will certainly return and I hope that y'all will give them a try as well. Be sure and try the salsa verde and take a moment to speak with Ellen if she is available she's a great owner and very involved.

    Rice is dry taco is laughable for the price.

    The tacos are pretty good. The rice is a little bit dry. Other than that it was good food.

Came back to table shortly to let us know they were unable to make a margarita and they had run out of Coors. Came back to the table to inform us that they no longer served the grouper bites app. When taking or mains order they advised the only steak they had was the 9 oz sirloin. Apps came out the fried squash was greasy with the breading falling off or nonexistent, the dumplings were ok but a little dry. Salads and soup came out and were both good. Mains were shrimp po' boy, fried fish and shrimp, along with a sushi roll. Fish and shrimp was a huge disappointment. Fish was so greasy and the breading was falling off the shrimp due to the grease. It caused me to do something I never do.....I sent it back. . The shrimp po' boy was just as greasy but my wife felt bad for the waitress, tried to eat it but wouldn't send it back. The potato dippers were room temp. The waitress was very nice, understanding and offered to make things right. They took the fish and shrimp were taken off the bill and she offered to have the kitchen remake the order, which I declined. The sushi roll was great so at least 1 item hit the mark. Overall not a good experience and really disappointed that at no point did anyone from management come over to discuss our issues. They were not busy and not sure what issues they were having in the kitchen but WOW!!! Such a difference between our first visit and today. Not sure we will be back and hope anyone else that try's this place has a better experience than we did. So at the end of the meal we asked the waitress if there was a manger on site to which she replied there was and would she like if we wanted to speak with them. I asked if they were aware of our issues to which she replied "yes". I told her there was no need since management was aware but had no desire to come out and attempt to address the issues. Goes to a lack of management skills and overall no concern about the customer or the quality of their food. Leaving hungry, disappointed and perplexed. Really hate it for the wait staff since they have no control over a dysfunctional kitchen and management team.

We waited out side at the picnic area lots of tables. It was a cloudy day, pictures were not that good sorry.

    We had heard great things about the Farm stand from thr fresh fruit and jams, and pickled veggies…read more To the tacos and milkshakes.They serve food along side selling all the U-Pick fruit on certain days or you can buy already packaged fruit We got there 30 mins before they opened and there was a crowd already waiting for them to open. We waited our turn to order we picked up a flat of strawberries, ordered our taco,etc. They give you a little buzzer thing which beeps and vibrates when your order was ready.Turn around time was quick less than 5 mins. Our Food was amazing it rivaled sit down mexican food . I highly recommend their tamales!! And their strawberry shakes are amazing , made using fruit from the farm. They workers are super friendly and the farm itself has a lot of neat things to look at , especially if your a history buff like me!! Love the picnic tables outside , sit and enjoy your food .definitely worth the ride from Gainesville.
