Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

It looks like a dive on the outside but inside is good solid Tex-Mex food. Good chips and salsa. I usually get the enchiladas and they are very tasty. Husband likes their tamales. Mexican beers include Dos Equis and Tecate. No liquor, only beer and wine. Taco bar, which I have never tried but looks decent.

Staff is very nice but the food is terrible. Rice is instant, beans are obviously canned, and the dishes are covered in yellow American cheese which changes the taste. When this hits your palate the sensation is more like hamburger helper than anything resembling Mexican. The salsa has an overwhelming sweet taste. The guacamole is made from a mix. Wait--it gets better! As we were slowly picking at our food in disbelief, we kept hearing chiming bells. We soon realized that it was several microwaves signaling that the food was ready. This was confirmed when we realized that our plates were as hot as the food. To top off this horrible dining experience, the prices were very high. A basic burrito and enchilada dinner cost about $14.79. The check for two of us before tip was $41 and change. Take my advice and try one of Palatka's other Mexican options.

My family loves this hole in the wall for Tex-mex. I'm not a fan of that style, but the homemade tacos are divine. You'll be sorely tempted to just eat the chips, but get the queso,you won't be sorry.

Visited this place yesterday while I was in Palatka for a pool tournament. The waitresses were really talkative and nice- so the service was pretty good. I've been to literally hundreds of Mexican restaurants all over the United States. I love Mexican food. This place is probably the most expensive Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. I had to upload photos of the menu so you could see for yourself. OUCH. To add insult to injury, their ala carte menu was minimal too (limited to burrito, taco, enchilada, and one or two more items). The chips that they served with the chips and salsa were way over seasoned. They had WAY too much salt and other seasonings on it, and it was really off putting. I ordered a couple of tacos and an enchilada. The food was pretty good. The enchilada was really greasy and cheesy (just the way I like it.) The ground beef in the tacos were also over seasoned, just like the chips. I was going to take away one star for the over seasoning and two stars for the price, but the friendly staff kept me from giving it 2 out of 5 stars.

This is one of those hole in the wall places, and I would probably never want to go in the back BUT it is hands down the best Mexican Food I have ever had. We lived close by for a couple years and went there every time we got the opportunity. We live half way across the country now and we would drive there this weekend if we had enough time to get there and back before work on Monday just to have their Cheese Enchiladas, salsa and white cheese dip with the home made chips. YUMMMM. My in-laws live just down the road from here and bring us salsa when they come visit. Watch the parking lot its pretty rough but I promise it is well worth the visit. The wait staff are always very friendly and you never have an empty glass of their wonderful sweet tea. One thing is they are closed on Mondays.

The best chips and salsa I have ever had. Bought 2 quarts to bring home with us. For a very unassuming and low key home in the wall the food was excellent. A very attentive wait staff and quick service. For where this is located and the look of the building you would almost expect much less. What a great find for us Ohioans. Will be back every time we are in the area. It was a bit expensive so that is why only 4 stars, but again, would recommend to everyone.
