She said it was really good but couldn't eat the second taco so she brought it home. Aaand she was right. That steak was delicious. The shrimp was a great addition. I'll rate them separately. I give this one an 8. She got me the Birria Tacos. First bite without dipping it in the sauce, had it at 6.5 in my mind. I had a bias I'm sorry. I'm team Talkin Tacos. Or was. Not sure anymore. I went ahead and dipped it then took a bite. Shiiiiooot! That was it right there. That was a 9.5. That meat still had some of the fat on it. Idk if that was intentional, but that worked for me. Keep the fat on there. Wifey says we have to go there together next time so the tacos are fresh not sitting in a Togo box for 15 minutes. I believe her.

We stopped in here as a new spot to try their margarita. I got the house (I asked if they made…read moretheir own mix and they said yes), & my friend got the Margarita Perfecta. They looked exactly alike, except for the price tag. I would say it was not housemade mix, as it tasted like the kind that comes premade in a bottle. The margarita was uber sweet, served w/o lime, and even asking and adding 3 additional lime wedges, was still uber sweet. We got the queso and chili relleno as appetizers. Both were bland and without much flavor. The chili relleno looked beautiful. Decor is really cute. Service was spotty and we were the only ones there for quite some time. Might try again for a meal? Not sure. We did see a table come in and order tacos and a burrito, and they both looked very appetzing.

The waitress met us and brought out chips and salsa while we looked over the extensive menu. At her recommendation I tried the Carnitas. When I think restaurant style carnitas, I'm thinking shredded or pulled meat. Not here, the meat came out in large beautiful chunks of meat which glistened with moisture. I tried to give my wife one of the pieces, but it was so tender it fell apart on the fork as I tried to move it. You can definitely tell the difference between el Mariachi and the local chain restaurants. Everything was fresh and prepared with care (even their tortillas were made in house). This is yet another example of a gem of a find in a strip mall location. Do NOT let the location dissuade you, this place deserves all the positive attention they can get.

I ended up getting pastor and carne asada. The tacos were very good. They had plenty of meat and prepare them "TJ Style" with cilantro and onion which is my favorite way. It lets the meat shine. The tortillas were good. I am doubting homemade though, they were very thick and fine but the star was the flavor of the meat. They also have a nice little store so while I waited, I grabbed some cheese, limes and a few other little goodies. The service was good and there are quite a few table to sit either to eat or to wait for your food. I also got a Jamaica which is just one of my favorite drinks. I would definitely come back.

In fact I was so rudely treated one staff member stood in front of me while I was placing my food order to have a conversation regarding an order placed over the phone. The ladies demeanor said it all. I wasn't welcomed. I felt humiliated and quickly adjusted and left this establishment. Being treated unfairly for the color of your skin is unacceptable. I'm not the enemy, I wasn't asking for citizenship papers! So much for the tacos! Such a disappointment experience. Spend money where you are welcomed not tolerated!

The last thing we needed was another "Wings and Seafood Joint," no matter the name or gimmick. Now we have a totally new concept, a new idea and a breath of fresh air on Lane Avenue. Nini and Manny have done a total renovation inside and out, it is well appointed, with new booths, floors and multiple big screens (which is great for sports fans). And on to the food, my first experience was take-out Steak Nachos, great portion, the beef was well seasoned and quite tender, topped with cheese, extra chips and salsa on the side. Today my wife and I enjoyed lunch at the restaurant. She had the "Fajita Burrito," which was huge, and as she described it as "well proportioned, the right amount of steak, vegetables and cheese, seasoned perfectly. I chose the "Mexican Bowl with Steak," it's a nice combination of yellow rice, black beans and steak (and you didn't have to look for the steak). Without sounding redundant, I'll just agree with my wife's description of the meal. Abuelas Mexican Brunch is definitely worth trying, It's not Tex-Mex, it's an actual Mexican Restaurant.

We were really going into this with very high expectations after all we've seen on social media for…read morethem. We LOVE Mexican food. I got a plate of 3 breakfast tacos that consisted of 1x Scrambled Eggs and Chorizo, 1x Chorizo and Potato, 1x Scrambled Eggs and Ham. I enjoyed all 3 of mine and they were exactly as I had expected. I think the potatoes could have been cooked off a little more to give them a bit of a crispiness to them. It comes with a house hot sauce, but because I have a low to mid tolerance for heat I have my husband taste for me first and it was out of my range. So I instead topped them with Cholula. Hubby got the Breakfast Plate Number 3 which consists of 2 eggs any way, Mexican potatoes, 2 pancakes, and bacon. He ordered over easy eggs and was served Scrambled and that was his first disappointment. We had already waited a little over 30 minutes for food to arrive (which is fine, it's all cooked from scratch assuming). So he didn't want to send it back or complain about it. Upon taking a bite of the potatoes, those were just below room temperature and semi cold to the touch. He described it as if they were sitting in the window done and ready while my food cooked (because my potatoes were warm). The onions in the potatoes weren't cooked down at all and still semi raw, so that was disappointment number 2 for him, but he continued to eat. A few moments later the bacon arrived, and as you can see by the photos, kind of undercooked as well. So it was a pretty underwhelming visit for us in whole. He did say the pancakes were good though. We will give them another try in the future, maybe not for breakfast necessarily, but we understand people and businesses have off days, and today was just that for him. He could have gripped and sent it back and waited even longer to eat, but it was good enough for him to just deal with it. We really hope our next visit outshine this one because this would be such a great little spot for the westside.

These are my number 1 all-time favorite breakfast burritos in the city of Jacksonville. Put these boys head to head with ANYONE and I guarantee they put up a great fight. The truck is owned by a gentleman named Chris, but you're greeted at the window by the people's champ, "Unc". He's been doing this for 7 years and dude is about his business...Unfortunately, he told me that his DoorDash machine was stolen last night, so the phones are ringing off the hook and they are scrambling to keep up with demand. They should have a new machine over the weekend and be back online asap. Regardless of the chaos, Unc treated me with respect and took a moment to chat with me. Today I went with the sausage breakfast burrito. Other popular dishes are the catfish, shrimp & grits, and their new burger & fries. You can't go wrong with any of the food here....I sat at the nice picnic tables outside and had my order in less than 10 minutes. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to start the day off RIGHT.

It was a decent side and filled full of ingredients. I could've gone for a little spice. They did offer hot sauce, but then forgot to give it to us. Salsa also available.

You can't see it from the main road and the outside may look a little unassuming, but don't let that fool you. This is a hidden gem in Orange Park. Surprisingly, there don't seem to be very many places for good authentic Mexican tacos. This is probably as close as you can get. It doesn't hurt that it's a grocery too! Prices here for the made-to-order side won't hurt the wallet, and you can find some rather unique and quality stuff otherwise. Service was extremely friendly and happy to help in either English or Spanish. In terms of flavor, the al pastor was top notch. It comes with lime wedges and your choice of either mild or spicy salsa. While there isn't anywhere indoors to sit and eat, there's several tables outside to take advantage of the beautiful spring weather. Give this place a try!
