Chimichanga
Lydia C.

My husband and I saw this place just opened up and after reading reviews on Google and Yelp, we were very exciting to try it out! We arrived 10 minutes after they opened for lunch and there were already a handful of tables filled. That was our first good sign! Everyone was welcoming and the service was excellent. Debi brought chips and salsa to our table first. Then our server, Edel, brought over water and we ordered some drinks. The Horchata was definitely homemade and delicious! My husbands fresh limeade was tart, just how he likes it! Unfortunately, we can't mix and match tacos. So I ended up ordering the Fish and Birria! And just wow! They were both equally delicious in their own way. My husband ordered the chicken chimichanga and there wasn't anything left on his plate when he was done. Edel was very attentive and our food was amazing. We are excited to go back to try other dishes! They do have $8.99 taco Tuesday's (octopus and birria excluded), so we will be able to try more at that time too! When I asked my husband if he had any negatives, he couldn't think of anything!

New kid on the block and they definitely are in it to win it. Well staffed and friendly from hostess to waiter. They have a happy hour from 3-5 each day and it had people coming in. 430pm and it was packed. Probably the hack for good value and a good meal. We tried a few of the HH items but ordered off the main menu. My shrimp enchiladas were good. I wish the shrimp weren't cut up but left whole. Small issue. Tostones were ok and the black beans very good. Chimichanga was on the mark as my wife's go-to at a Mexican restaurant. Plantains were good and the refried beans a bit runny but flavorful. Burrito must have been good. It was devoured by my son. Don't understand why no sides but they mention it on the menu. Margarita was potent and a good value. Interior was bright a fresh. Open kitchen floor plan so you can see some magic happening. PROTIP The parking is tight up front but plentiful behind.

Love this place! All of the food we had was super yummy. I was overjoyed to be able to order burria tacos as a vegetarian the vegan /vegetarian menu is amazing. Our waitress was so sweet and our food came out quickly. The vibe was upbeat in the restaurant but it wasn't too loud with the music.

We came out today for brunch and it did not disappoint. Jenilee was our server and service was great! She was very knowledgeable about the menu and she treated us like family. This location has been open for less than a month and everything ran smoothly. We will return.

25 Sep 2026: On this evening we thought we would give a new restaurant "Pepe's Cantina" a try. The wait was short as we arrived around 5pm. The restaurant has a pretty nice appearance inside with a bar and tables. Our waitress "Taylor" provided us with wonderful service. The menu had quite a large selection of meal items to consider. We opted to order Ground Beef Enchiladas and a Taco Angus Steak meal. Both meals had a great appearance or presentation...however both lacked flavor or seasoning...kind of bland to the taste. The hit for this evening was the Fried Pistachio Ice Cream (Winner-Desert). Since the restaurant is still new we plan to try some other food choices...on search for the winning dish. Thanks Taylor for taking great care of us on this evening.

Great food and amazing service! This place is going to knock it out if the park. Stopped by on Friday night and we were seated outside. Inside was lively and outside was a bit more quiet...great for talking. It was lovely. I had the shrimp tacos and a margarita and my wife had the beef tacos. Finally...a place that knows real corn tortillas! And the margarita was not overly sweet which I greatly enjoyed. This was all fine ... But what really stood out was the number of times someone checked in on us. It wasn't obtrusive, but it did make us feel cared for. We will 100% be back!

Lia was awesome and the food!!!

Fantastic food and service! Will return as often as…read morepossible! Food is excellent! Owner, George is wonderful

Ok... I'm super torn about this review ... as I had some amazing food and not so amazing food…read more I'm going for a 4... with high potential to upgrade in the future. Experience: I have been wanting to try Jolie's for a long time because so many of my friends have talked about how good it is. So I was home sick and ready to order some food... So I placed an order on Uber Eats. It was a Sunday early afternoon. Service: I placed the order through the app and they got everything right!! Which can be rare on these dang food delivery apps. Everything was packed well too. Food: here's what we ordered... The Burrata & Prosciutto 5/5 was soooo good. I adore burrata and loved how much rugula they gave you... I ate this like a salad with the extra oil and balsamic glaze they sent!! So good and so worth the money!!!! The meatball appetizer 5/5 was a little small, but the flavor was so good and it came with 1 delicious piece of gourmet toast. Yum!! The hamburger 4.5/5 was tasty and the sweet potato fries 5+/5 were absolutely the best I have ever eaten. They were crispy on the outside edges, and then a little chewy and caramelized, and then soft and fluffy in the middle. I stole most of them from my friend. You HAVE to get them. The fungi pizza 1/5 was the big disappointment. I love wood fired pizzas and I am a mushroom freak!! So I just knew I'd love this. It was too thin in the middle (you can see how the edges curled up), and the flavor just wasn't very good. It had a lot of overpowering burnt parts too. I love wood fired, so some little "burnt" spots are going to happen... but if that's all I'm tasting, then it's just too much. No one would eat it. Hopefully this is just a freak accident and it's not normally like this. Limoncello cake was sweet and good. But the cheesecake was too soft. We prefer a more "set" cheesecake... this was more creamy. Flavor wise as good though. I just tasted them, but everyone said 4/5 for both desserts. Overall: I loved the food!! I will be back to try some more things on the menu, but I will ALWAYS order those sweet potato fries.

This place is awesome! They have 2 levels including a rooftop bar. I went in a Saturday evening and…read morethey had a live band on the second floor. I sat outside on the rooftop overlooking the street, and it was a beautiful view. I ordered the watermelon margarita with tajin and it was refreshing, all you need is 1. I also ordered the shrimp tacos with mango salsa. The shrimp was seasoned well and the mango salsa had a slight kick but complimented the shrimp well. It was a busy night but the service was great. I'll be back

The restaurant has a very coastal Mexican surfer beach vibe. we came about 2 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon. Main dining area was fairly full, but several un-bust tables. We were greeted by one of the serving staff that said sit wherever you like. All unoccupied tables had not been cleared and cleaned. We went and stood by one of the tables. Staff arrived to clear the dirty dishes and wipe down the table. She never acknowledged us or said hello. We did sit down at the table after it had been wiped down. We waited for about 15 min and were never acknowledged by the staff. We were just getting ready to leave when a server came up offered us our menus and for the first time engaged saying that they were sorry that we had to wait. This was a welcome turning point. The staff was much more engaging we placed our orders and the food was served fairly quickly. Our food was actually very good. The venue offers indoor and outdoor dining and is much larger than it looks from the outside offering live music multiple bars and clean restrooms. We were also very impressed with the outdoor areas. What started off as a bad experience ended well. Well, we only experienced a very small portion of the property. We look forward to coming back.

We had a good visit to BeachFly Brewery in late, March, 2025…read more We enjoyed some good bar snacks, including: (1) Beer Cheese Nachos ($9), which featured tortilla chips with beer cheese. We added BeachFly's slow-cooked pork for $4 more. (2) Chicken Quesadilla ($8), which had island chicken and pepper jack cheese between two soft tortillas, served with salsa. (3) Key Lime Pie ($6). A slice of classic Florida dessert: sweet, yet slightly tart house-made pie on a graham cracker crust topped with whipped cream. My husband was thrilled to find a good dark beer, Coffee Brown Ale, a rich brown ale brewed with Villon coffee. He also bought a 4-pack of beer cans to go. Mix & match. Thursday nights are Trivia Nights at the Beachfly Brewery. This attracted quite a few local families. Parking is free and plentiful. For any RVers out there, this brewery participates in the Harvest Hist program, with reservation through the HH website.

Beachfly Brewery (which I will shorthand simply to Beachfly for the rest of this review) is one of…read morenine breweries that call the Space Coast its home. It is also the only brewery located in Rockledge, in the part of the city which is close to a "Downtown" or "Historic Downtown" (Barton Blvd.). Being a rare "only option" within its city limits, Beachfly stands out not from its uniquely artistically painted building, but the fact it is the only stand-alone business that is synonymous with Rockledge outside of any official government buildings. Thankfully, Beachfly does a great job at brewing and camraderie that comes with it, too. Beachfly is located on the southside of Barton Blvd., probably closer to the end at US-1. You'll know you're at the right buildig as it is a huge aquamarine building with a lot of beach vibes artwork on it. Fits the criteria of its name, right? From what I saw, parking is ample enough but the overflow is all gravel. Take that into account if you don't want your vehicle sitting on stones. Inside, the beach vibes continue as all the decor accompanies such with wood that looks like they came off of pirate ships and walls aligned with portholes ad seaside memorabilia. Upon entering, there seems to be what I think is a private room for parties on the right and a small room serving as the store on the left. The southwest corner serves as a bar while the rest of the taproom serves customers at a hodgepodge array of tables. Now to the good stuff: the brews. I had a lot of their fruited beers, one that was spiced, too. Can't remember the names but they were a-okay. Probably not my first choice, but I could drink it. Their root beer was delicious, though. Their food: delicious but I didn't try it all. I defiitely need to give their grilled cheese and Cuban a go so I can compare and contrast with other restaurants. Finally, a lot of stuff to do with friends and family or by yourself. There is trivia, live performances, and even games for everyone to enjoy. Overall, Beachfly is very good, but they come off as equals to the two breweries in Historic Cocoa Village that isn't far from them, either. Would I go here again? Yes. Will I go out of my way to go here? Probably not. But if I am in the neighborhood, I definitely will make a stop by.
