Hands down the best taco place in Jax. I’m a big foodie and have gone to MANY Mexican restaurants. This food is authentic, portions are HUGE, and everything is exploding with flavor. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Hands down the best damn Taco's in North Florida. My wife and I recently had dinner here on a whim. I queried Google maps as to "Top rated Mexican restaurants" in Jacksonville and was not disappointed.
The food is excellent! The prices were very reasonable and the service was attentive. This isn't just a Mexican restaurant it's a taqueria. Which if you've ever been to one you know you're going to have some really great taco's and burritos. Hot, flavorful and satisfying is how they're served up at El Castillo. From that first bite you just want to keep eating their mouthwatering taco's.
A really nice bonus is that this location also houses a Mexican market. So you can find some really great items to prepare your own meals at home.
I will definitely come and dine here again with my wife. Well worth the hour long drive from Palm Coast.
Remodeled since first time we were here so it was very nice presentation walking in. Camila is a fabulous server. And the food that was served... Oh my goodness muy delicious!!
We had an inconsistent experience here with some food that was fabulous and some that was not. The chips and salsa were hardly edible-- chips were tough and dry. However, our dinners were quite good. The tacos are excellent. Also enjoyed the huevos rancheros. I ordered sangria and it came in a small bottle and was not alcoholic. That was disappointing, wish I had been told. We will be back and will focus on the amazing tacos.
Amazing authentic Mexican food and very friendly service! Owner introduced himself and talked with my family for a bit, and even let us try the different juice flavors because we were unsure of which one to order. The cheese dip was one of the best I’ve ever had! Steak and tacos were on point, and the rest of my family loved their meals as well (quesadillas)
Really good. I haven't been here in forever. Always good... And they expanded which is really cool 🤤
This place isn't easily spotted from the road, but it's food is authentic and excellent. I enjoyed the cheese pupusa a lot. When I ordered their tacos, I tried different meats in each and all of them had their unique great taste. I'd recommend stopping in here if you're in the area for a quick affordable great lunch.
Excellent food! Guacamole was fresh and had the perfect amount of lime. Chips were good and warm. Tacos were awesome! Rice and beans were fantastic, haven’t had that good in this area before. Service was wonderful, friendly and prompt. Lots of great seating options for inside and out. We will be back!
If you haven’t tried this place you’re missing out. The food is good and so is the service. It’s clean and comfortable. The prices are reasonable and the portion good. It’s part restaurant and part convenient store. They have good lunch specials too. I highly recommend it
Food is nothing less than incredible. I've been to Texas, California, and Baja California and this food gives all those places a run for their money. Highly recommended.
THEY NOW HAVE birria tacos!!!

🌄Server breakfast 🌅
My husband is a lover of all things tacos, but El Castillo is his favorite place to get tacos! I finally joined him for lunch and had their quesadilla and it was great too.
Try the breakfast burrito and add a little of the spicy red or green sauce that they give you at the table. Incredible! Best breakfast burrito ever!
My favorite dishes here are the "costilla de res guisada" and "tacos de lengua". All the food is delicious and with the Dominican Republic sazon.
