A customer of mine recommended this restaurant and boy were we glad they did. Very fresh atmosphere, friendly staff. And the food probably some of the best We’ve had in the last couple weeks. They have an Italian flare to some of their food and your traditional Mexican style food. Alejandro was our waiter and he was on top of his game. He was very attentive checked back regularly and always made sure we had a drink. Definitely one of my top 5 in the area For food.

The food was very good and flavorful. The prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get and is made with high quality ingredients. I went with a friend and we got the street corn app, chips & guacamole app, fish tacos in flour tortillas, chicken enchiladas with corn tortillas, chicken tacos, and some sweet potato fries – everything was delicious. The employees are very nice and attentive. I will certainly go again!

I ate here with friends, last month and again this month. Both times our food was delicious! Outside dining was available, but it was midday and humid so we choose to sit inside, although many tables outside were filled despite the heat. Tina was our server during the first visit and was fantastic. Be sure to ask for her. She was knowledgeable about the menu, attentive and efficient. Our server the second time was very nice, but a little busier with her tables. The first time we ordered the chicken tacos (probably the best chicken tacos I have had in terms of flavor), the beef tacos and sweet corn flan. The taco platters come with beans and rice. This lunch for 2 with soft drinks was around $43 plus tip.

Been meaning to try out this newer Mexican place in town so stopped in on a Sat for lunch. Sadly was not impressed. Prices are higher than our usual favorite place, they don’t have a 2 for margarita special. The house margarita I did get had a strange taste. There is a $3 charge for chips and salsa, something I never agree with. We Had the nachos which left alot to be desired taste wise and was short on toppings. We came, we tried, we wont come back.

Honestly, I think this may be the best Mexican in Gainesville. I know it’s a bit more fusion than traditional Mexican, but you won’t be disappointed by their creative appetizers (avocado egg rolls and Mexican street corn avocados are my favorites). Also, they have a fabulous screen in outdoor seating section!

It’s a little pricey, but the food is excellent and the service is great. I love the fajitas – so many vegetables. And their specials are always solid. I really enjoy their prickly pear margarita. There are lots of options for those who are vegetarian or vegan.
