Welcome to Jonesville El Indio!! I really like what they have done with this location. If you've…read morebeen in Gainesville a while you're bound to have tried one of the el Indio locations. they are known for their sweets and drive-through locations. They have one that's on 34th St. and another on 13th on the university so it's popular with the students. The idea is to order your food and sit outside. They do not do full service at the other current locations that is until the Jonesville El Indio came alive. I love that they kept the integrity of the previous building: a fire station. They have created a tribute to the fire station by having a drink on the menu that showcases that and the some of the decor. They have full service at this location and a full bar with tvs and heaters outside!!! You can sit down and get served while enjoying a nice margarita. I think this was a necessity for this side of town. We have a had businesses around come in and try to do the order and sit and it doesn't go well as planned. They do not last. The set up is a little unique. They cook all the food in a food truck and still have their handy dandy drive through. They have a salsa bar with different salsa to try. My favorite dishes are the #6 taco and burrito special. Make it super! You'll thank me later. I love their queso it's got a little kick to it. The hurricanes and sundaes are so good!! You must try their desserts. They are a hidden gem.

I seen a lot of positive reviews and decided to try this Mexican restaurant located in the little,…read moreout of the way town of Williston, Florida. It is a small place filled with perhaps too many tables, but service was friendly and I was in and out in a relatively speedy amount of time. Let me state if you are concerned with the staff wearing masks, perhaps here is not the place for you. Neither my server nor the cooks were making masks. They are charging more for their menu items, my lunch fajitas order was two dollars ($2.00) more and my server did tell me. They are citing increased prices due to COVID-19, but as far as I know prices have settled and it is time for them to decide if they want to simply up their prices or bring them to what is printed on the menu. Plus, every item has had the priced raised, where most places just raised the price of beef items. The salsa and chips were good. The salsa was chunky and flavorful and the chips had a great crunch to them. Their chicken fajitas were not too good. They were on the edge of burned (but still acceptable) and lacking the spices that make it a wonder. Plus it was a bit dry. The rice and refried beans were good, though. So I cannot see myself returning. The food was barely mediocre and while the service was good, I was taken aback a bit by the upcharge.

Not as strong as some other restaurants in Orlando, but not going to complain for 8 bucks. The scallop quesadilla was decently sized for one person. It had a fair amount of bay scallops, peppers, onions, and tomatoes. The sauce was pretty good too, and adding hot sauce helped with the heat. The guacamole salad was enjoyable too, but the as sour cream tasted standard. For 15 dollars, the scallop quesadilla was worth it! For dessert, the chocolate cake flan was alright for 8 dollars. It was a bit rich and I couldn't finish it all, but it was a sweet enough to enjoy. The service was pretty fast. My food and drink came pretty quickly. My server was friendly and very good. She checked up on me a couple times. The atmosphere is the same as last time, but a lot less crowded. It was pretty quiet for a Saturday, but at least there was some music in the background. Of course, if you saw the photos from last time, you knew what I did before I left. For the price paid, I still think it's a good Mexican restaurant. I know there are better ones nearby, but the atmosphere is still enjoyable. I will try some other Mexican restaurants next time, but I can still recommend Las Margaritas for decent Mexican food in Gainesville. Overall: B

Lunch prices can't be beat & are fast with it so I'll also give them that. I got a taco salad and it was pretty generic honestly I could make better ground beef. It lacked flavor and needed seasoning it was so bland. I added onions and cilantro which I'm glad I did because it truly was tasteless ground beef. The bowl itself tho was crunchy. I am not sure why they have a no drinks policy , I get the food but drinks? I had to down my iced coffee just to be sat down. I suggest going to La hacienda in Ocala if you can it's worth a drive trust me.

Our server was Brandon, who was an absolute delight! He was so energetic, so friendly, and gave great suggestions. We started with drinks. I had a skinny margarita and my husband had a Frida (top shelf margarita) and our son had a Coke. First thing we ordered was the chips and salsa. The chips were perfect, not too thin and not too thick. They came with two salsas. Both were tasty. Not sure if there is a spicier option but we will check next time. I ordered the Birria tacos. They were so delicious! So much flavor! The avocado tomatillo salsa was perfect with it. My husband ordered the Al Pastor tacos. It was very traditional Al pastor. He loved the black beans. His words were " these are the best black beans I have ever had!" Our son ordered the chorizo tacos. First, I have never seen chorizo tacos offered in a Mexican restaurant. Secondly, they were amazing! To finish, I ordered the banana pudding and our son ordered the churro sundae. Both desserts were delicious. The portions were huge! All in all I say Nopal is quite the gem. Perfect portions and dishes that are packed with flavor. And service that goes above and beyond. We can't wait to go back. We will ask for Brandon!!!

I'm rarely surprised by food in Gainesville, I feel like I know what to expect and am fine with the "Gainesville version of ___". These are very good tacos by any measure.

Overall a really good meal, affordable and filling. The interior is bright and pleasant, a fun stop for lunch.
