    Chili Relleno
    Cara K.

    I came here on a Saturday night for a late meal and was expecting the restaurant to be packed. To my surprise, it was not! We parked up front and sat at a table immediately. My friend saw an Instagram video of Jag Cantina and we wanted to check it out. We were hoping for a free margarita in our silverware roll up but no luck for us! We started with a round of Cantina Margaritas. They were great, but a smaller portion than expected. The complimentary chips and salsa is always appreciated. The house made salsa looked like, smelt like and tasted like cold spaghetti sauce. They had other salsa options for mild spice and hot, but we kept the complimentary house salsa. I ordered the Chili Relleno for dinner. It was a vegetarian stuffed poblano pepper. I was blown away with how unique and tasty the meal was! I would 110% return for this dish alone. Jesse's S was our server and he was excellent. He made us laugh, made us feel welcomed, was very attentive and gave us great recommendations. I hope I have him next time I dine in. I believe the restaurant is recently redone and had a lot of cute decor. Come try them out!

    Try it all during happy hour!

    Margaritas paired with Jag's happy hour is definitely the way to end you day. Their empanadas simply blow me away. This place has quickly become one of my favorite neighborhood bar/restaurants.

    We used to come to this restaurant when it was Black Rock and wanted to see what the new place was like. They have done a great job revamping the place and it's a much better atmosphere. We thought the food was good but not so good that we are dying to come back. This might be a place that is great for drinks, it has that kind of vibe, but we don't drink. Worth giving a try I suppose.

    House margarita - 12 dollars
    Arun K.

    I was quite surprised to find a Mexican restaurant in the Windermere Neighborhood Walmart plaza area. It was quite new, and loving Mexican food, I had to give it a shot. I arrived on a Saturday evening and was greeted immediately by the hostess. I sat in the bar, where my bartender recognized me. I choose the suggested house margarita (12 dollars). He told me the juices are homemade. It was a decent margarita and refreshing at first, however it was a bit sour afterwards. Also, the tequila provided wasn't strong enough to make me dance to that popular song. For my entree, I chose the chicken enchiladas (18 dollars) with double cilantro rice instead of beans. There were 3 small enchiladas, but decorated nicely with some cheese and pickled vegetables on top. The tortilla was ok, but the chicken looked to be a paste and coming packaged, tasting homemade. It was still filling though. The pickled vegetables were odd, but tasted good. The cilantro rice faired better as it had good flavor with diced tomatoes, but could have been heated up a bit than being served cold. The complimentary chips and salsa were not my favorite, and I agree with the other Yelpers that the salsa tasted like a slightly better than Ragu pasta sauce. Even the habanero hot sauce I requested tasted like the pasta sauce, but just a bit spicier. All of the desserts were 15 dollars, and for the same price, I could just have one at a high end hotel or restaurant and probably get better quality. So it was a no gracias for me. The service was good and friendly. My bartender kept checking up on me and was social as well while still working. He did forget to bring napkins and utensils, but got one immediately when I requested it. The atmosphere is trying to look upscale, but it felt a bit dark. The patrons were social, but it got quieter later in the evening. The music seemed to be bar salsa. This restaurant replaced Black Rock Grille, which I found the previous restaurant just average. This restaurant is a little better, but it didn't seem authentic enough for me. I think the non Mexicans would enjoy this restaurant more as it isn't as spicy, but still the food being decent. I was thinking on giving this a 3, but going to up this to a 4 because of the friendly and good service. However, for authentic Mexican, I would go to Agave Azul a couple miles away. Overall B-. Still would recommend.

    We stopped by Jag Cantina this evening and had a really solid experience. The atmosphere has a nice modern vibe without feeling too trendy or pretentious - just a comfortable spot to enjoy some drinks and food. We started with the guacamole and street corn and both were great. Our server was attentive without hovering, and was very accommodating with our special requests. The drinks are definitely worth trying - I had the jungle punch and my wife had the charred pineapple paloma, they don't skimp on the liquor and they're not overly sweet like some places. For entrees, I had the steak street tacos which were fresh and well-seasoned, and my wife got the baked tostado that she really enjoyed. The portions were good without being overwhelming. For dessert, I had the chocolate lava cake w/vanilla ice cream and my wife had the sopapillas, both were excellent. The location in Windermere is convenient and parking was easy. It did get pretty busy around 6pm on Saturday, so I'd recommend making a reservation if you're going on a weekend evening. Overall, it's a great option for Mexican food, well worth the drive from Lake Mary. Great food, reasonable prices, and friendly service. We'll definitely be back.

    Lovely experience with the husb tonight tried this chick/shrimp/beef dish that came to the table bubbling. So delicious! Service was excellent.

    Tequila crème brûlée espresso martini
    Kelsey H.

    I can only speak to my experience at the bar because I didn't order any food, but the drinks, bartenders and workers were incredible. The bartender really cared about crafting the perfect cocktail, and even made sure I could get a good video haha! The drink itself was delicious. I came here because I saw the crème brûlée espresso martini all over social media and the hype was REAL.

    Service was great she was attentive have suggestions of the menu when we were there and what to get when we go back The ambiance is a mixed I would say casual during the day but business casual/ going out store at night. We didn't get any drinks but water, we did get the queso as the appetizer came with tortilla chips. When you sit down they do bring you chips and salsa as well, you can get a refill on the chips if needed. I did get the enchiladas which comes as three tacos it looks like with enchilada sauce on top of it with a side of cilantro lime rice. The salad looked good and huge as the table next to us ordered that and we will try that next time We will be back at night to see the vibe there go to happy hour and try the salad.

    Birria tacos (they look better than they tasted, which is not saying much, to be fair)
    Brad S.

    Short version: My birria tacos were $22, and I would have gotten a more authentic Mexican experience and taste from Taco Bell for a quarter of the price. I'm going to start with the positive. The ambiance is pretty solid. The previous restaurant in this location was dark and kinda sketchy, so it was nice to see light in the space. Service was also solid, and we were a large group (15) for a lunch. That's about where it stops being positive. Food was, at best, bland. I had the birria tacos. The meat was maybe an attempt at birria, but in reality had the consistency of an over cooked pot roast. Flavor-wise, there just wasn't anything there. The consomé was just not. It came with a side of black beans that had literally zero seasoning (like, they came right out of the can, and definitely not the ones in a seasoned sauce) and cilantro rice, which despite being the color of cilantro, somehow didn't even taste remotely of cilantro, or any other flavor. I tried bites of others' food, and we all discussed it as well, and it was a unanimous agreement that this wasn't good. One of the people in our group asked for cheese enchiladas (and, there are enchiladas on the menu). The server went to the back to ask if he was able to modify the enchiladas, then came back and said no, they can't make cheese enchiladas. This tells me that the enchiladas are either coming frozen with the chicken in them, or MAYBE they're pre-batching them in the morning for the whole day. The later would imply that none of the food is particularly fresh made, and that the cooks in the back also aren't capable of rolling cheese into a tortilla. I have been to places shortly after they open, and sometimes they do get better. In order for that to be the case here, and me come back and give it another chance, "better" is going to have to be doing a LOT of work in that sentence.

    We went out this past Friday night and ended up staying for hours because the atmosphere was so fun and relaxing. Unlike the downtown bar scene, this felt perfect to sit with good drinks and listen to the DJ that night (8pm on), and while some people were up dancing, we were perfectly happy hanging out with our margaritas and enjoying the evening. We started with the sampler platter of queso, ceviche, and street corn, and the street corn is definitely a must-try! I ordered the Birria ramen, which I had to try since I've never seen it anywhere else, and it was incredible. My wife had the snapper, which was such a unique find at a Mexican restaurant, and she said it was delicious. Our friend ordered the fajitas, and we all ended up sharing because we wanted to try all the dishes. We finished with the fried ice cream for dessert, which I haven't seen at many places, and I have been absolutely craving it. Get it if they have it! All in all, excellent food, great drinks, and a fun, laid-back atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

    Wow! New place with fantastic menu.. great drinks in an upscale not too fancy and cozy ambience. Happy servers made this place a place to comeback. Give them a try and you'll be back. Good job in your opening week!

    Taco Salad
    Jellis1700 ..

    Let's start with the atmosphere, it's modern but not in your face trying to be modern. Very clean. Staff was awesome, paid close attention and had some great suggestions (the waiter said their debuting several new dishes) The food was great, a rich and vibrant tortilla soup that honestly had more flavor than I thought the dish would be capable of. My wife had the taco salad, and kept raving about how fresh everything is. Highly suggest you give this place a try.

    Opening week- first Friday! So glad something is here in this location now. Windermere needs more sit down restaurants. Especially at that corner! Was looking forward to the crème brûlée espresso martini but that's an exclusive drink from the bar only, and we were sitting in the dining area. Birria tacos were great. The beans and rice need to fill the plate though if there are only going to be three tacos. Will definitely be back again for the bar experience and happy hour.

We ordered the Elotes off the cob ($11.99) and the Molcajete ($30) which is grilled fajita steak, chicken, chorizo, shrimp, onions, nopal cactus and cheese. We also ordered one Margarita ($16). We first experienced a Molcajete in a restaurant in Mazatlan, Mexico and fell in love with it and all of its ingredients including the cactus. This Molcajete at Cocina Maya was soooo tasty. Served in an actual Molcajete which is made from lava rock and it holds the heat very very well. We shared this between the two of us and still had a decent amount to bring home with us. The Elotes was very tasty and the corn was nice and firm and it was perfect. Service was friendly and attentive. The dining room is light in colors and there is a lot of light that shines through the windows. This restaurant is a good distance from our home, and well worth the drive to it. We most definitely recommend this tasty restaurant.

    We swung in on a Tuesday night around 7:30 pm- half the dining room is empty and you could tell…read morethat they were clearly trying to keep that section closed off because they didn't have the staffing. The manager was going back-and-forth between being in the kitchen as well as seating people at the hosting stand which led me to believe that there must've been call-ins or scheduling has just been not great. We ended up being seated, but had to wait for them to clear off a booth because they didn't wanna seat in the other section. They clearly had closed off. We ordered our food, but our server seemed really disengaged like she was just going through the motions. Food came out super quickly. I did order a sparkling sangria that was nonalcoholic and it basically just tasted like Pepsi so not exactly sure what it was supposed to taste like but it definitely didn't have any sangria flavoring. My husband got a glass of water, but sadly you could tell that they must've either just got it out of the sink or just hand wash it because you could literally taste the soap. I got an order of the tamales, which were good. They definitely are a little spicy so be aware of that if you are opposed to spice, but the serving was large and I ended up taking it home to have for lunch the next day. My husband got the Carnitas and I will say the Carnitas seem like they were more shredded then they were previously. Overall, it was an OK experience. It feels like perhaps as if management has changed because it's definitely not as friendly nor as organized as it used to be..

(The picture is after having poured one layer of grease off the top.) The flour tortillas were horrible, sweet, doughy and obviously store bought. The container of salsa in the chips and salsa was only half full. Not worth Uber Eats prices and definitely won't be back.
