After being told it's awesome... never even noticed this spot! Find it....
Spencer H.

If you like traditional Latin/Mexican breakfast fare this is the spot. As a friend, a Texas native, stated "the most authentic Mexican food outside of Texas I've found!" On my first visit I bought a number of different breakfast tacos & burritos & a plate to try the spot out. Saturday morning was PACKED! Standing room only. Parking lot was too. Always a good sign! Very small & bustling place. Lots of take out/pick up orders so it was a decent minutes wait time. Grabbed our sack to go & ate a feast for breakfast with four of us. If you want authentic Mexican- this is the spot. Never had tortillas this style & everything was hot, fresh & good! Be patient. Walk in & order to go. Them go sit in the car for 15-20 min if you're there on a Saturday AM... far better than feeling crowded & in the way

Steak omelette

Food was fresh and hot. Soup, I forgot the name of it, reminds me of Chicken, tomato and rice. Everything I ordered was tasty. My mom's ham in her omelette caught the fire a little too long. The red salsa caught us all off guard. It was a little spicy. The place was very clean. I was impressed. I'd go back again.

The Steak , onion, pepper omelette
Rose B.

First time visiting Haydees Cafe. Excellent service- everyone was very friendly. Food was plentiful and very delicious, I had a steak and onion omelette- came with toast and potatoes. My husband got the 3 meat omelette also toast and potatoes- the cafe is very cute and clean. Highly recommend- can't wait to try their lunch next time.

Enchirizado (I think that is how it is spelled)

We have eaten at Haydee's cafe several times now and it is a place I crave on a weekly basis. The staff and owners are always so nice and friendly and going out of their way to accommodate you. The food is out of this world!! One of the best Mexican we have found in a sea of Mexican places here in the Gainesville area. My only complaint is that they aren't open longer in the day, because I want to eat there 24 hours a day! Their chorizo is the best around!! This is a weekly must eat!

Chilaquiles Plate
Kaysha L.

Food was amazing! We had the Chilaquiles and the 4 meat omelette. Service was good, the server rang in the wrong dish but it was quickly fixed. The ambiance is good, small but accommodating. We definitely will be back for more authentic dishes!!! Yummm

Green chili tamales
Penny W.

This place is a hideden Jen for a Native. Texan and Texan-SoCal. The charro beans, tamales, nachos, eggs and chorizo and homemade tortillas. Yummy

My new addiction! Chilaquiles. Mmmm those beans and tortillas.
Denise N.

Finally had the chance to stop by this little spot. I'm now 100% sure all the delicious food is found in tiny unassuming out of the way places! Very comfy atmosphere and friendly people. Was a great place to sit and relax with tasty fresh food. And BONUS, it's very inexpensive! I had the Chilaquiles. I can't even put into words how yummy it was! Fresh made tortilla strips, small perfectly runny eggs, fantastic beans and queso fresco. Yes!! Can't wait to try lunch here soon! Do your stomach a favor and eat here if you like fresh authentic Mexican.

See all

Tacos were a nice size but lacked flavor. Tamales were dry and ok. I would eat here if nothing else was opened.

One of the best chimichangas I've had, plus the price is reasonable. I don't leave reviews often, but this is definitely worth a try

Hidalgo's Mexican Grill - Carnitas fajitas

Hidalgo's Mexican Grill

(20 reviews)

Yesterday, my retirement buddy and I enjoyed lunch at Hidalgo's Mexican Grill. The atmosphere was…read moreinviting, adorned with warm and vibrant décor, and we were greeted by a friendly host and attentive wait staff. I decided to try Lunch Special #6, which featured a burrito stuffed with ground beef, topped with salsa ranchero, and accompanied by rice and refried beans. My buddy opted for #10, the Gioso 3-way, which included grilled chicken, steak, and shrimp sautéed in their homemade spicy sauce, also served with rice, refried beans, and a choice of tortillas. From the very first bite of my burrito, I was pleasantly surprised--it was absolutely delicious! As a burrito enthusiast, I can confidently say it was the best-tasting burrito I've ever had, with a flavor profile unlike any I've experienced before. My buddy shared similar sentiments about the grilled meats on his plate. Curious about the sauce, we asked our server, who informed us it's a signature sauce they developed for all their meats. The rice and refried beans were perfect. The chips and salsa were also excellent. In summary, our visit to Hidalgo's Mexican Grill turned out to be one of the best lunches we've had. We're excited to make it one of our go-to spots for lunchtime.

Husband and I went here for the first time to try something new from our usual spot- we are so glad…read morewe did. We found a new usual spot! He had chimichangas and I had something that had rice, cheese dip and chicken, steak, shrimp. My only complaint is that there was A LOT of chicken, 2 shrimp and not much steak. But it was yummy regardless. They have a daily special and this day was a chicken quesadilla for 5.99 and I think it also came with rice. We ordered one to go for his lunch the next day. (He said it was delicious) Our waiter was nice- never had to wait for anything that we asked for. (More chips, salsa, coke) Oh yeah the salsa is really good too. Not too spicy and good flavor.
