Placed a pick-up order on a Monday evening, and it was ready super fast: 5-7 minutes max. We ordered Chori-chicken, burrito supreme with shredded chicken, and a side of queso. They have really good salsa and queso. It was pretty quiet and slow because it was Memorial Day. The portion sizes were big. My husband almost always finishes his meal but saved half for another meal, same with me. We have also catered a taco bar from here a few times and we always have way more than enough! Worth stopping in for some decent Mexican food.
We came here last Friday night at 7pm without a reservation and we were seated immediately! Five stars for that alone. Additionally, our server Gervin was very attentive and did a great job. As for the food, the guacamole was solid and I enjoyed my burrito. My friends enjoyed their entrees as well. Only downside was they didn't bring out a lot of chips initially, but after we ate the first bucket they were glad to bring out more. This overall was a good experience and I would come back here again.
We found this place down in St Augustine by accident and loved it! It's larger than this Beach Blvd location. This location is smaller and seems like they do a lot of take out. But don't pass it by. The food is great and reasonably priced. Margaritas were great. The drink offerings are different in each location... but the food is the same and same quality. New favorite spot!!
I always forget to check in and add photos as we mainly do takeout here, but it is pretty darn good. I have recently started getting the taco salad modified to be vegetarian and it is great! Their corn is also really good. I add a little to my veggie taco salad and it's delicious! Hubby and sons love the chimichanga and tacos. They are very quick with orders and very accommodating to special requests. Check them out.
I've been sleeping on Taco Libre while it was only a few miles from home. I recently had a date who suggested we meet here so I finally had the pleasure of trying a menu item. I ordered the taco salad with chicken and added chorizo (at a friend's suggestion). The salad was fresh and the presentation was colorful. The shell was cooked perfectly as many times I have found places fry it a too long which makes the shell hard. The chicken was juicy and packed with flavor! Not to mention the salad was HUGE. I had the rest for lunch the following day. I heated it up on my baking stone which helped the shell get crispy again. It was just as good the second day. Our server was friendly and helpful. We talked a while before ordering and he was patient. When my beer was almost empty he asked if I was ready for another. That's the kind of service that keeps me coming back. I can't wait to try a new menu item. I would highly suggest you give them a try.
I don't usually like writing negative reviews, but I had higher expectations for this place and left disappointed. The menu seemed promising, but the appetizers weren't very appealing. I ordered the Wet California burrito with steak, and it was mostly rice and beans with very little steak. The "wet" was just queso poured over the top and onto the plate. Some bites tasted decent, others were inconsistent. The steak that was there was okay. The margarita was also a letdown -- more sour than expected and likely house tequila, with very little ice. Chips were unsalted (which I didn't mind), and the salsa had a bit of a pinch to it. Unfortunately, I woke up the next morning with a bad stomach ache and didn't feel great while eating the food. I probably should have said something to management at the time. Our waitress was friendly, but couldn't really elaborate when we asked about the menu. Overall, I'm paying for great food and service -- not just "okay." I don't see myself returning. read more
On our way back to the hotel from the Mayo Clinic it was getting late and we needed something for dinner. Taco Libre was just 1.5 miles from the hospital so we gave it a shot, and happy we did. Tasty free salsa and warm chips placed on the table. Delicious tacos filled up - they don't skimp on the ingredients. Large cups of Diet Coke - hey, gotta watch my figure! Tacos came in an order of three and I was able to have three different types. Perfect meal for what we were craving. Service was friendly and on-point. Food came out quickly. Terrific Lucha Libre wrestling theme with murals, paintings, and masks adorning the walls. Very colorful and fun decor. Clean bathroom. A few TV's showing soccer games. Outside seating area in front. Taco Tuesday specials. Plenty of food options and drinks on the menu. read more
The restaurant has great decor, the service was very fast and friendly. Our meals were OK. My tostada could have benefitted from onion and cilantro or sauce of some sort. We were hungry, on this side of town and this was convenient. Prices were very reasonable. read more

The best Mexican food in Jacksonville and great service. They recently added bar seating with a couple TV's and it's perfect for a quick lunch or to have a few beers while enjoying some tacos. read more

This was such a cute little place on my way in to the beach. The staff was amazing, food was delicious and the margarita was on point. I will be stopping again on my way out. read more

First visit and it will not be my last! Great tasting authentic Mexican food! The food was freshly made to order. It felt as I was visiting at a friend's house. Cozy and very artistic vibes. Staff was top notch with service. The only reason I do not give 5 stars is because the fountain drinks fell short on taste. Also, the flautas plate was a little on the dry side without having a cheese sauce to go with it. read more

Tacos are a little pricey, ranges from $3.99-4.50 for these. You save a little bit if you order 3 of the same thing. Chips and salsa are served. The habanero(?) salsa has a good kick and adds spice. Service was great, Rudy was attentive and checked on us a few times. Definitely will return. read more
Why have I not tried this place out sooner?? I wish I had more pictures to post, but honestly the food was so good that I forgot and ate them all before I could shoot, lol. It's a huge place so I don't think seating is a problem at any time. We went dinner on a weeknight & got seats right away. Staff was very friendly. Our food came out pretty quickly. I believe it was a taco Tuesday so we had to get tacos. I did a shrimp taco & a steak taco - both were so good! I opted for the spicy too and there really was a kick to it. The salsa was also good, and the queso- can't go wrong with that. The chips were fresh and they give you more if you want more! I wanna go back and try a bunch more others but I can only eat so much tacos and can only handle 2 if I'm eating appetizers! The tacos were well priced & hefty too! I think we spent like $40 on 5 people so it was very wallet friendly, yet delicious! The perfect combo! Can't wait to return! read more
A great place to just hang with a group friends and have a casual dinner. Friendly staff, quick service, great food, very affordable and clean place. We just got the tacos and burritos. Which hit the spot. But normally if I'm feeling extra hungry the carne asada fries and the chicken with mole are a great hit for my taste buns. Definitely recommend it. The fries are also great to share with a group. Definitely a try if you haven't read more
Wonderful taco spot on San Pablo near the Church of Eleven-22. This is convenient to the beaches and you will always see a few tables of Mexicans, which I think speaks to the authentic act of the dishes. Parking is plentiful. There is outside seating. Service is pleasant, but they do get backed up sometimes. Food: Siraracha Shrimp Taco - AMAZING Taco - veggie tacos and breakfast taco, come on now, that is a menu. Hauraches Lengua - Lengua is difficult to find, but they do it do well. Guacamole - meh, needs work Salsa - fresh, but like the guacamole, not flavored enough. Overall, I really like the menu which has grown over the years. I could eat a dozen of the Siraracha Shrimp tacos. read more
I love this taco spot so much! It's one of my favorite in Jax. Hubby wanted to take me out and said I could go wherever I want and I immediately said this place! It was Sangria Thursday so I had to try one of those. It wasn't bad but I have definitely had tons better so I tried a margarita next. It was frozen and VERY strong. It was very good however. Definitely couldn't have had more than one! Then I decided to get the fiery fish taco and the quesoburria taco. The fish taco was fried and came with slaw, avocado, and a sauce on top. It was good but I wouldn't say it was my favorite. My goal is to try all of their tacos so I can eventually pick my fave. The fish taco I would have again but I couldn't say it was my "favorite". The other, however, was delicious! I really enjoyed the flavor of the meat and made a huge happy mess dipping my taco in the sauce. That taco will definitely make the list! Hubby is more of a plain Jane and got the pick three plate with a taco, burrito and rice and beans. Since his plate was licked clean I'm going to assume he enjoyed it! read more
First time eating here for lunch. The restaurant is neatly tucked into a strip mall, and easy to find. Ample parking. It was clean, comfortable self seating with the choice of tables or booths. We were greeted quickly and brought chips and salsa as well as our drink selections. I ordered vegetable fajitas, and my husband got Nachos. The food was served super hot, and fast! My fajitas were very good, and flavorful. My husband enjoyed his Nachos. Portions were generous, and we needed to go boxes. Good spot for a quick Mexican food lunch. Cute decor. read more
A friend and I decided to try this place the other night for the first time and it did not disappoint! Nestled in the plaza on the corner of beach blvd and San Pablo road, it is the perfect place for all Taco Tuesday (or Everyday) fanatics! The decor both indoors and outdoors is very appealing and it draws you in with its bright colors. Anywhere that looks fun is where you'll find me! But, not only does it look awesome, the food is also pretty great! We shared some delicious queso between the two of us. I wish it was a little thicker of a consistency but that wouldn't stop me from ordering it again. I also ordered the spicy shrimp and carne asada tacos, both were amazing. The shrimp was perfectly fried and tossed in a buffalo sauce, definitely a must try! The carne asada was filled with delicious meat and topped with fresh onion and cilantro. I am so happy I found this place, I will definitely be back for more! read more
National Taco Day! Coming off of a 72-hour fast I had a craving for sushi & ramen...but then I found out it was National Taco Day and it was a wrap. Tacos it was! I searched my phone for Mexican restaurants in the area. I knew that I wanted tacos but I didn't want to go to the same restaurants that I usually frequent. I've been to Taco Libre years ago, but I haven't been recently, and could not remember what the food or experience was like so I decided to try it out. It was a beautiful night and thankfully they have outdoor seating. Upon entry I was greeted I told my server that I would like to sit outside and she told me to choose my seat and she would follow me with the menu. I ordered a lime margarita, she brought out chips and salsa while I perused the menu. I settled on Carnitas tacos and a queso burrito taco with rice and beans. Everything was delicious. The decor inside is Mexican wrestling-themed which I thought was pretty cool and something that my kids would've liked to see. All in all, it was a nice experience, and I will return when I'm in the mood for tacos. read more

4 stars = The entrées are quite delicious but the sides they come with are an afterthought and forgettable. This simple Mexican restaurant will fulfill your desire for an authentic Mexican taste. Warm, light, and crunchy chips and salsa when you arrive with a selection of Mexican beer or a house Margarita to wash it down. I ordered the fajita burrito which comes with every meat you can think of (chicken, steak, shrimp) sautéed with onions, sweet peppers, and tomatoes with rice included. Topped with queso and guacamole. It looked so good that the gentleman next to me walked over and asked what I had ordered! The refried beans and salad that come with other entrées did not taste great, or have any taste at all. read more

I visited Taco Libre for dinner initially in 2016 shortly after they'd opened and I tried the asada and pastor tacos. We also got a side of their guacamole. I thought that the tacos were underseasoned and the guac was just ok. Over three years later, I returned for lunch on a Taco Tuesday. I ordered the fajita salad with chicken. Others got the enchiladas suiza, chicken quesadilla, asada tacos, and west coast burrito. My salad came with grilled chicken, grilled fajita veggies, lettuce, and cheese. I substituted the black beans for more veggies. It was ok. The vegetables had good flavor but overall, the salad was uninspired and it wasn't served with any dressing. The waitress informed me that most people use the table salsa. I tried that, along with the queso we ordered, and both were too thin and flavorless. If you're on a low carb diet, the menu options are limited. They offer a few salads but they don't have lettuce wrapped tacos. Taco Libre gets the job done if you're looking for reasonably priced Mexican food. They have a happy hour and a few specials on Taco Tuesdays. read more

Typically huge parking lot with tons of parking. It was Friday night but we had no trouble getting a table at 7:30. The food was tasty. Kids loved theirs. The spicy fish and shrimp tacos were both very tasty but I didn't love that the fish was breaded and didn't love that that they were on flour tortillas. Husband enjoyed his three tacos well. Definitely edible and I would go again, but not my favorite. Seems like there are lots of taco places to try in the area, so let's see. read more

By far my favorite taco place in Jax. This isn't a fancy place, it's super casual, a hole in the wall if you will but definitely delicious food. They have a huge variety of speciality tacos plus many other options. Everytime I've been here I've had great service, staff has always been very friendly and food comes out fast. Today I had a shroom taco which is my absolute favorite plus some rice and refried beans. My boyfriend had a fish taco and an Americano taco. read more

I ordered an American taco, Cameron(shrimp) taco, taco fresco, asada steak and a margarita. Both of the steak tacos were very good and the Cameron(shrimp taco was my favorite. The sauce is what made this taco. Unfortunately, the margarita was terrible. It was made with wine instead of tequila which gave it a terrible taste. I couldn't drink 1/2 of it. read more
It always surprises me how many people say they love Mexican food, but they have never actually had it. What they are referring to are the places that serve piles of seasoned ground beef or dry shredded chicken, topped with sour cream, queso sauce, and melted Kraft singles rolled up in, on top of, or served next to dinner-plate-sized flour tortillas. Occasionally there is some shredded iceburg lettuce. You know, for vegetables. These places are not necessarily bad; they have their place in the world. But they are not Mexican, and they make up the abundance of the cuisine in the Jax area. So when I come across a real Mexican place, it really means something to me. Taco Libre is set back in a less-than-appealing strip mall on Beach Blvd. The menu is definitely stocked with classic, real Mexican dishes, with some Americanized options for your friend who 'loves Mexican' but needs his flour tortilla fix and isn't really sure if he's ready to venture into lengua country. The best feature is that it is one of the very few spots I've found in Jax that serves (in my opinion) the true pinnacle of Mexican cuisine: the huarache. A huarache is masa that's griddled into a thick pancake (think frybread) and topped with meat (carnitas in my case), onions, creme fresh, queso fresco, etc. I also ordered 2 tacos - 1 al pastor (marinated pork) and 1 asada (steak). Everything was super flavorful, well seasoned and cooked, and it came with an insanely good house-made salsa. Were there flaws? Sure. The masa in the huarache was a little too dense and fried a little too hard, they got part of my order wrong (probably a language thing - wasn't too upset about it), and the ambiance in the place was so-so. But it's family run, and they are doing delicious food from their own culture. I will be back to support them. read more
Went here for the first time last week and tried out the sriracha shrimp, fiery fish, mushroom chicken and shredded chicken tacos. If I had to rank them I'd say 1. Fiery fish: the avocado really ties this one together 2. Sriracha shrimp: LOVED the shrimp, so delicious and appreciated the large size so each bite is covered 3. Shredded chicken: your classic chicken taco 4. Mushroom chicken: this one was a little salty for my liking but still good. The cheese on this one was fantastic Overall this place was a pleasant surprise! We drove by craving some tacos and this place certainly delivered on that end. Def recommend visiting on a Tuesday, can't pass up those taco Tuesday deals!! read more
