Can't beat the prices here and the food is very good. Good service What I like most is that it's FRESH! I was working this area of town for over a week and my colleagues and I ate here two days in a row....we all ordered the same things both times and noticed little variations to our meals, which told us about this : -there is more of an authentic method to the cooking here since each cook serves the menus dishes a little differently - it's fresh! I have been back since and will keep coming back. read more

Excellent food! Fresh & authentic, you will not be disappointed. Tres Tacos, Hola Burrito, Chimichangas, Enchiladas and try the Springfield Bowl! But save room for dessert, fried ice cream, deep fried cheesecake and the flan. The drinks aren't strong but good. read more

Very authentic Mexican restaurant. Don't be scared if it looks like it's closed, it's not. They are open. Tacos for $10, endless chips and salsa. Ever since trying this place about 3 weeks ago we have taken it to go about 4 more times. Nothing fancy, good food, very kind service, enough space for families and large groups. read more

Place looks nice and clean but food was Not good enough to my Hispanic taste. Maybe later I can try again to see if I can recommend. In the mean time I can't tell a friend that I liked it. read more

I decided to go here for lunch today. The food here is always excellent, and there are a lot of menu items to choos from. This restaurant served authentic Mexican foid as well. The service here is always good. I really love the ambiance of this restaurant, even though its a small restaurant. There is always plenrlty of parking here. The res here are always presentable and clean. Today I decided to go with a beef taco and chicken enchilada combo platter. The enchilada was topped with red sauce, which was mildly spicy and not to over powering. The beef taco was very good and shell was very crispy. The cheese that they use was fresh and flavorful. If you're in the mood for authentic Mexican food, I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Driven by this place a thousand times on the way to/from work everyday. I stopped in on a Tuesday and ironically it was Taco Tuesday. The special was 3 tacos and a drink for $7.00. Deal! The food was good and fast. Service was great. Now I'm there almost every Tuesday and have sent a few friends over there. read more

I was in FL for work and craving tacos. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door and taken to a table. I ordered the 2 taco combo with chicken and added an extra beef taco. The chips and salsa were ok but I've had better. My tacos were good but the crunchy taco became soggy before I could eat it. Each taco was stuffed with meat, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. The rice and beans were lacking flavor but adding hot sauce helped. The service is great and the prices reasonable but I'm not sure I would go back. read more

Their steak street tacos are my jam! I always get the same thing. The people are the sweetest. Service is fast and friendly. You can't beat the price. Cute little place. Their patio looks out to one of my favorite little mysteries in Jacksonville. Awesome place for lunch for sure. If you're there around 12 or 1pm during the week you even get to hear my buddy big John If you know, you know. read more

I frequent this place since I work nearby. It's affordable, quick, no frills, and good to the taste. I like their salsa a lot for the chips, just make sure you get enough of it as they can be quite stingy! I usually get one of the combos with rice and beans ... you literally can't go wrong with any of them. Nice place on the inside, but I have never actually sat down to eat as I always order take out. read more

After leaving a meeting nearby, a few colleagues and I visited Hola for a weekday lunch. We arrived just before it started getting really busy. Tortilla chips and salsa were placed on the table as we reviewed the menu. The chips were light and crispy but they had a strange taste to them that was somewhat off putting. The same issue happened with the chicken nachos, which were generously topped with shredded chicken, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, jalapeños, and sour cream. I poured some of the table salsa on top of the nachos to add a little flavor but the main issue with them was that the weight of the toppings made the chips soggy. My entree was better than the appetizers. I got the two empanadas meal - one chicken and one beef - which was served with rice and beans. The empanadas were excellent, particularly the beef one. The crust was thick enough but still soft with a slight crunch and the filling was plentiful. I also enjoyed the refried beans and rice. The lunch menu was expansive, with 30 offerings, and their more extensive regular menu was also available. The food came out of the kitchen fast and despite the busy lunch hour, service was very attentive. With the reasonable prices I can see why this place is so packed. read more

Loved this place! It's a small restaurant with inside and outside, covered seating. Staff was very friendly. The food was delicious! Not greasy like most Mexican restaurants in the area. I can't wait to bring my family to this place. I highly recommend giving this place a try. You won't regret it. read more

I love Hola! I work nearby and pickup lunch to go at least once a week for a few years now. The #5 is my favorite, but today I tried the #7 (pictured). Their salsa is always fresh, chips are never soggy, and the food is great. They're a small business and I always see the same women working when I come in. They have indoor and outdoor seating and a super cute authentic vibe. I definitely recommend if you're looking for lunch places near downtown or Springfield. There's construction going on in the roadway out front but the business is still easily accessible. They offer GrubHub delivery as well. read more

Hola Mexican Restaurant - Lunch special #7 Empanadas - Mexican Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

We've been wanting some regular Tex-Mex, nothing ultra-fancy, fussy or fusion, etc., and we definitely got it here! The menu had all the standard dishes you expect and desire. The place is absolutely adorable, inside and out. Not brand new at all, rather careworn, but colorful and clean and very cheerful. We were waited upon by the owner and for lunch on a Saturday, it wasn't busy but there was a steady stream of people coming in/out and picking up take out. We were given chips and each of us received individual dishes of salsa (more sauce than chunk but a nice mild heat). That was a very nice touch because my husband likes his salsa on the spicier side and he added some of the hot sauce on the table to his. (Plus it eliminates the whole "double dipping" issue that some people get perturbed by. LOL) We did run out of chips and we given another basket. Food came out pretty quick and plated nicely. (See pics. No pics of my husband's dish because he started eating before I could get a pic.) I had the chicken chimichanga - crisp on the outside, but still fork tender without splintering. It looks small in the picture, but it was almost all tender white meat with a little bit of tomato, pepper and onion inside. It was opened ended (not folded like a burrito) so when it was fried, the meat at the ends got a little crispy. Delish! My daughter had the burrito supreme (beef with bean) and my husband had a combo plate (Pancho Villa #2 LOL) with a burrito and a taco. All three of the dishes came with rice and beans which were great. The beans had a bit of chunk (which I like) and the rice was very soft & tasty. The sour cream and real guacamole that accompanied all our meals were generous in size. My daughter's plate was a bit heavy on the lettuce, but she had no complaints and ate it all. We weren't going to do dessert, but when he suggested Fried Ice Cream, we broke down and ordered one to split. You might not be able to tell by the picture, but it was very large and definitely is meant to be shared. It was very good and between the 3 of us, we finished it off. Last, but not least, I used a certificate ($10 off minimum of $20) from Restaurant.com and it was accepted without a problem. I do admit, after reading some of the previous reviews, I wasn't sure what to expect. I am glad we went and we were very satisfied with the whole experience. read more

What I got was good but I wish their combos came with rice and beans. I had to order something different than I planed because they do not offer it with everything. Read carefully before ordering. The music was baby nursery rhymes, funny at first but very annoying after a few minutes. It is enough to keep me from visiting again. read more

This place is okay, I've had better. Dining room is relatively small. The food is pretty good but nothing too special. It's typical food for Jacksonville's Mexican offering. I did like the guacamole dip but almost $4 for hardly an ice cream scoop portion. I would not drive out of my way for it but it's sufficient for a quick lunch in the downtown area. I prefer to support local and this place has been here for a while. I know they tried to open a location in Mandarin but it was a chicken and egg situation. They did not have enough servers to accommodate a full house so when they were full, the service was lacking. I understand the fine line balance of having kitchen and wait staff standing around doing nothing but inevitably it did not work out in Mandarin which was too bad. read more

I REALLY wanted to love this place! Mexican food is my favorite so I was really looking forward to eating here. My husband ordered the enchiladas verde lunch special which was very good. I ordered the empanada and beef flauta lunch special. The empanada was ok, very crispy. The flauta was super crispy and the beef wasn't tender enough for me to bite through. It reminded me of meat from a pot roast. The chips and salsa were good! The biggest disappointment was the service. Our waitress seemed completely annoyed that we were here. We asked what the Happy hour specials were and her response was "that doesn't start until 2" which we were fully aware of since it was 1:40. When she came back to take our order we weren't ready yet (there are a lot of great lunch choices). We told her we'll order in a few minutes and that we'd also like to order drinks at happy hour. She came back for our food order but didn't come back for our drink order until we waived her down. I'm going to chalk it up as her having a bad day bc is really like to come back and have a positive experience! read more

Nice little spot on the way into Springfield. I've driven by several times now and was hesitant to check it out. Don't let the buildings exterior dissuade you. It's a tasty family owned place. We ordered a la carte, e.g. tacos, quesadilla, queso dip, etc. The food was pretty good (no fancy ingredients just meat cheese and some veggies), but it was well priced and good sized portions. They have happy hour from 2-close (buy one get one beers and margaritas). Check it out...it's only about $10 a person, so not much to lose read more

Hola is great! Tacos are flavorful and this restaurant is also inexpensive yet very authentic!

Went here for lunch today. I have driven by Hola Mexican off Main Street many time, The exterior of the restaurant is very eye catching and has a nice inviting outside patio for dining. Inside to my amazement is not as big as I thought but comfortable. The decor is quite nice and has some great pieces of what I would call art. I went for the lunch menu and I think the had 30 different dishes, I had the soft chicken taco with re-fried beans. After having so many Mexican dishes I was not to impressed with it. I don't think I was given the option of corn or flour taco's however the flour taco was soft and good. The shredded chicken was not flavored to my taste but was in a sauce which dripped out after I bit into the side of the taco. It came with the standard cheeses, lettuce and tomatoes. The re-fried been was good but I have had better. The service was ok and I don't understand why servers don't make eye contact with their customers. The waiting staff did say "takes for coming and have a great day" which was a good thing. My coworker all like their dishes and Yes, I would try it again and try a different dish. read more

quick delivery to the Police Memorial Building thanks to Grub Hub..everything arrived fresh and warm. The salsa is good, the guacamole under seasoned but showed promise. I got a taco that really didnt travel well, and an enchilada with rice and beans. The flavors were all there, and I cant complain. It seems like pretty standard mexican fare, and its way better than ordering a pizza or chinese food at work again. I will keep them in the rotation. read more

Add a star if you like bland food. Another star if you like really bland food. Two years ago I got a chile relleno, wife and daughter were laughing because sweat was pouring off my face, tears from my eyes and I almost couldn't finish it. It was HOT and it was great! I wanted another today. Well, it was bland squared. Bland cubed. Bland to the fourth power. Really bland. Not even remotely hot. So was everything else. Evidently people like it, they have plenty of business. If you are looking for spicy Mex you will not get it. read more

I have been here a handful of times now. The food is good....but today it was awesome. I love a chorizo taco but it was not on the menu. I asked about it and was told, " it' s possible". So I ordered 4 chorizo tacos and a chile relleno with sides of pico, sour cream and cilantro. It was the best thing I have eaten in a long time. I was so happy I asked about chorizo tacos!! read more

My husband and I tried this place for a second time. The first time was cool, very laid back and we really enjoyed the tortilla chips that were sat on the table. The second visit we were greeted rudely by I'm assuming a new waiter. Very bad disposition. Our first waiter was a Mexican lady very nice. The second young lady was not, wish I would've gotten her name however, we won't be back. It was a very unwelcoming greet. read more
