Cut place inside in a typical strip mall. They've made and extra effort with the decor. We liked everything we tried. Not traditional Mexican food like a Southwest more like the same menu as most larger Mexican cause restaurants. However, everything was fresh, came out fast and well prepared. The staff was attentive and kind. read more

Buena comida y muy fresca! Good food and service! The price is very reasonable The place looks very clea.

The first thing is the food is not that good the service is slow and the portion are small for the same price you can go to plaza mariachi and the food is very good and the portions are big enough to take a doggy bag home read more

Amazing food! Amazing service! The ACP is my favorite in town and the house made tortillas are perfect!

The food is super good 10 out of 10 would recommend 5 stars my family is definitely coming back

After moving to North Carolina, I noticed there are a few Mi Cabana, and since there is one close by, I decided to go give it a try for dinner. Since I have never eaten at a Mi Cabana restaurant before but love some Mexican cuisine, I decided that I blindly and boldly try this restaurant food without checking out the reviews beforehand. Sometimes, one has to take risks ... right? Well, calculated risks. lol I will say that I got lucky on this one. The service was very friendly and surprisingly quick. First, I got some complimentary chips and salsa which were very good. BUT ... I LOVE me some queso!!! My delicious weakness. No shame! While going through the menu, I saw this particular entree had a   by the name. As someone that enjoys spicy food, I ordered the Pollo a la Crema. Which translates to "Creamed Chicken." This is grilled chicken covered with their special corn sauce and jalapeños sauce. It is served with rice, guacamole, salad, and picó de gallo which translates to "rooster's beak" aka "salsa fresca." The waitress informed me of their homemade hot sauce. If you love a little kick in your meal, definitely get some of their homemade hot sauce. It kicked the food up to a different level. I am not an expert on Mexican food, but I do love to eat and try something different. Since there are a few of Mi Cabana, I have a feeling I will be trying their other locations. The dinner prices for the food were very good. The environment, the atmosphere of the restaurant are wonderful. read more

I want to love this place, but can't. I've tried so many times to give the asada tacos a chance, but they're just not it. They need to be seasoned more because they're so bland, come with sauces or just taken off the menu. Service is always good though. I have no complaints there. But, there is honestly no way anyone thinks the tacos are good and if they do, I'm questioning their palate. read more

It's my husbands every Friday ritual. Without a lot of tequila I find everything but the cheese dip just 'meh'. The chicken and steak are always tough and chewy. The chips, tortillas and beans always bland. The guacamole is always slightly over- inedible. I will say their coctel de camerones is always great. read more

We had dinner. The place is packed and they need to hire more employees. Their fried plantains are pretty good. Our waitress was very polite and friendly. Portions are not very big. read more

Too expensive for what you get. Food isn't as good as Camino real and the service sucks

My food is usually very good from here. Today I just had the nachos and cheese dip as a snack. I ordered it to go because I was working. Well the menu says $4.99 and I was questioning why is it more the $6 total. Come to find out they charge a .75 cent take out fee. That makes absolutely no sense to me. I will still dine here but no more to go orders for me, I'll go elsewhere if I it to go. Petty charges add up. read more

Listen guys and listen well, this food that I just had was not good whatsoever. The tamale's were bland and barely had meat in it also the sauce was tasteless. The cheese dip tasted watered down(probably not but it tasted like it) . My finance order beef fajita's, the beef was dry and not seasoned good. My tacos had a burnt taste in the shells I legit had to pour the cheese dip on all food to make it even bare-able. Staff was nice though so I wouldn't give it a 0 stars... a 1 will do read more

Went out for date night with my wife only to be seated with a waitress that wanted to go home. Order 2 drinks a margarita and a blue motorcycle. The margarita was to have sugar, instead it was salt and the drink was not made well. The BLUE MOTORCYCLE was not even drinkable. It was disgusting. When my wife told the waitresses all we got was an eye roll and an attitude. She was so bad that my wife and I got up and left for the last time. It used to be good there we don't know what happened. read more

The place is great. Good food and great people the manager Moy. is great with drinks and letting us know what the specials are. Mr. Ed is great with kids and knows the best magic tricks.

If you're a cheese lover, then this place is for you. Cheese is used to pretty much mask the blandness of their food. The entrees don't always come with what's listed on their menu description. I ordered the lunch portion of the Alambre, which comes with beans and a guacamole salad. I replaced the beans with rice and the salad didn't make it on the plate. When asked about it, "we don't offer that anymore". The staff is nice, but the food could be better. ‍ read more

I really enjoyed my chimichanga burritos. Definitely will be going again. The service was great. The ambiance was good too. Their rice and beans were yummy. My husband had the California burrito and it was huge and yummy. read more

This was a total let down. Lol the waitress was sweet but seemed a little out of it. the staff seems to be all young teens who are more preoccupied with what's going on with them and not really the restaurant. The food was below average. I ordered carne asada. The beans were cold and actually stuck to the plate it was hard on top as if it was like day old pudding. The rice tasted like butter and that's it. The steak was very dry and not tender actually kinda worried that I ate it. The best things were the churros that I got to go!!! They are very good and sweet. Would not recommend and will not be back. read more

0/10 would come back! Food was absolutely terrible. They brought out our food and did not even bring out half of it and we had to ask for it. Our steak was burnt and onions tasted like cleaning chemicals. Absolutely horrible ! Never again !! read more

Wonderful Mexican restaurant! The food is terrific and they are friendly, quick and accommodating. I am grateful that the music isn't so loud there. You can actually have a conversation with your friends during your meal. I love going there! read more

WILL NOT BE BACK. Would give ZERO stars if that was an option. Came in on 8/8/19 and had a hair in the queso. The waitress was kind and gave us a new queso. Came in again right now 8/12/19. There was ANOTHER hair in the rice. When the manager came by HE said "oh it looks like yours" as he points to my friend sitting with me. EXCUSE ME? It was extremely rude and degrading and I will NOT be coming back. ***hairs in the food every time we come*** read more

I was charged $25.97 for piss-poor service and no food. I ordered three enchilada meals online. I arrived 20 minutes later, and I was told the order had not been placed, but that the waiter would put it in now that I had arrived. He estimated the wait time would be "about seven minutes." Forty minutes later, at 5:00 p.m., I still had not received the order, and I cancelled my order requesting a refund. The waiter refused to get a manager and told me he could not refund my money and I'd have to call a toll-free number. My card was charged $25.97 for the three meals I did not receive. No one has responded to my refund request. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

Good selection of authentic Mexican/American foods. Good hours of operation. Nice selection of alcoholic beverages. Daily specials that vary but are equally good & varied. Nice atmosphere. If you use the to go option ensure your food is correct. Ordered several times for to go service & have been missing whole meals. read more

Placed a to-go order so that we could use a gift card given to us. Staff at door were polite. They went to speak to someone who told them it couldn't be used. I asked for an explanation, and the manager or whomever they consulted said it wasn't in their new system, and I could try the other location. So I guess I am supposed to drive across town and try it out there to see if it works? Gift card clearly states Mi Cabana in Jacksonville. The balance is still active and valid online, but I guess we have a useless piece of plastic at this point. We will not be returning. read more

We stopped by here yesterday. It was our fist time eating here. I can honestly say that we weren't too impressed. My wife had the fish tacos and it was served as a make your own style plate. All of the fixings were separate and you basically build your own tacos. The fixings were a little sad. The lettuce was brown, cheese looked aged and the fish looked like hush puppies. Little to no flavor. I had the carnitas. The carnitas are usually my go-to option when trying a new spot. Again, it was just ok. It was served with rice and beans but overall lacked the flavor I was hoping for. We don't come to Jacksonville often and usually try something new when we come out here. This was a miss and we probably won't be back for a long time. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean and had good decoration it just lacked in the food flavor category. read more

Always wonderful! Friendly staff, great food, and good timing ! Never disappointed when we come here!

I ordered from here almost every day for dinner during the summer. Their food is really good.

It's a pretty average Mexican restaurant, nothing special. I feel like 3 star may be generous though. Maybe a 2.5. Reasons: the salsa and queso are watered-down, and I prefer my salsa medium to hot. This salsa was mild and could have used a touch more seasoning. I had a burrito and my husband had a torta. Both were as expected, but I will say the papas fritas (French fries) were delicious. The atmosphere was hectic. Granted, it could have been because it's the day before Christmas eve, but the phone was ringing off the hook, they seemed to be understaffed so the waiter/waitresses were running around trying to get to everyone. There was a wait at the door, and the host had to step away to help serve. At one point, the music stopped as well. I wouldn't rule out another try, just not anytime soon. read more

Tried this place a handful of times and it's consistently sub par. The food taste as if it is pulled out of the freezer and microwaved and the salsa is definitely from a can or probably Walmart since it's right next door. Quite possibly the worst thing about this location is the staff that works here. It's typical of just about everywhere you go in Jacksonville, There is no care or drive to be a decent employee and care about the customer. I will not return and will not encourage anyone else to either. read more
