    Wonderful Mexican restaurant on the north side of Gainesville. I do not get over here as often as I would like, but do come in every time I have my oil changed at the neighboring Meineke. Expansive lunch menu with great prices! I however at this place am a creature of habit. I always order the Burrito Supreme (lunch special $5.99). Definitely not something you can eat with your hands. (Comes with fork and knife free of charge :) Great flavor and very fulfilling. I get a great lunch here at a lower price than if I went to Taco Bell.

    Mexican can be a dangerous choice. We were traveling, were hungry, and found this place by pure chance. There were a number of nice looking people driving quite nice automobiles with nice looking children who were headed in, so we decided to go for it. It was just fine. I went with a Taco, burrito, enchilada... I left happy and healthy. The test - would I go back? Yes I would.

    Not really sure what has happened to this place lately. My wife and I would eat here almost every week and had no issues at all. About a year ago the service went down hill FAST! Waitresses have terrible attitudes, orders are wrong, scalding hot plates with Luke warm food ( how does that even happen?!) and long waits. The long waits really don't make sense because every time we go in there is less and less people.

    Group of five seated quickly and the food was good, but those are the only positives I have. The service we got was TERRIBLE. It took 10 minutes to even get someone to wait on us. We had to ask for refills, we had to ask for our order to be taken, we had to ask for silverware, and we had to ask for the check. And by ask, I mean we had to flag someone down because the waitresses were all standing around talking. We got a margarita pitcher and they clearly didn't put much alcohol in it, if any at all. I will never go here again.

    There is nothing special about this place except for the fact that it offers cheap Tex-Mex in the middle of nowhere and cheap lunch specials even on Saturday. They offer standard Tex-Mex like tacos, burritos, enchiladas, nachos, etc. I tried the chicken burrito. It was alright. Not much meat and drenched in cheese sauce. I'd avoid the restrooms... Not the most pleasant smelling place. If I were to have went in there before eating, I probably would have lost my appetite.

    The food took 25 minutes to come out even though we were one of three couples. When we got the food it had been sitting under heat lamp for most of the time we were waiting. I happened to find a hair baked into my food and was given the explanation it was from the meat by both the waitress and manager. I haven't seen any black hairs come from chicken. I will not be eating here ever again!

    We specifically went to this restaurant because the other reviewer gave it 5 stars. I don't know if he or she works there or what, but it is NOT a 5 star place. Our pitcher of margaritas was 75% ice and tasted like sour Kool Aid, and our appetizer (El Maguey Sampler) took 30 min to arrive. We did even bother to order dinner. The sampler was cheese dip with grilled steak, chicken, and shrimp. It tasted pretty good or I would have put one star. We will not be going back!

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.
