5 of the Best Mexican Restaurants in Jacksonville, FL
1. La Perla
This locals’ favorite offers a variety of traditional dishes, including beef tacos, steak quesadillas, mole de pollo, fajitas, nachos, and more. They strive to use only the freshest ingredients to prepare quality food. We suggest the lengua burrito and a shrimp cocktail. If spice is your thing, you need to try the hot homemade salsa—yum! If you feel like relaxing in your hotel, they offer a convenient online ordering service for takeout or delivery.
2. Tequila’s Town
For tasty food and large portions, try this establishment. We enjoy the steak tacos, chicken enchiladas, and veggie fajitas. The thin, crispy chips and salsa are tasty treats while you decide on your order. You can also customize the fillings for your entree for a minimal upcharge. They have a great happy hour on Fridays with decent prices on margaritas and cervecas. Please remember to drink responsibly and in moderation. Do not drink and drive. Alcohol is for adults of legal drinking age only.
3. El Castillo
This family-owned eatery serves authentic dishes at affordable prices. We recommend the carna asada burrito, cheese quesadillas, and chicken tacos, which come with flavorful beans and rice. Be sure to have the chips and cheese dip. They also offer a variety of housemade juices. Adjoining the restaurant is a Mexican market, which offers candies, baked items, and other goodies.
4. Nacho Taco
The staff here are super friendly and they serve fresh, made-to-order traditional food. Dine in their outdoor venue, which is dog friendly, or grab your meal for takeout. The servings are plentiful as well, so you’ll likely have leftovers for that late-night snack or lunch the next day. Try the taco platter with beans and rice or the beef fajitas. Check their Facebook page for specials and updates.
5. Fresh Mex & Co Tex-Mex Cantina
This is a nice place to sit back, relax, and enjoy good music in a cozy setting. They serve Tex-Mex classics, such as fajitas, steak burritos, and nachos. The servers are friendly and attentive. Munch on their tasty chips, salsa, and housemade guacamole. Check them out for their happy hour specials with great deals on appetizers and drinks. Have a mango or strawberry margarita, either frozen or on the rocks.
