can you tell it's my fav???

As for REAL Mexican, some people say "The only real authentic mexican food in town." is:

La Tienda Latina
2204 SW 13th St
Gainesville, FL 32608
(352) 367-0022

Nothing but Mexicans working there. Mostly Mexicans eating there too. So that's a good sign. There is even a grocery in the same building. Nice patio to eat on and great food. Last time I ate there I watched a van pick up and drop off load after load of migrant workers. It was surreal.

I used to live two blocks from this place. It seriously is the jam as far as Mexican goes.

Seriously !!!

thank you for the feedback !!!!

i look for places that have mexican's employed there and a kinda of local feel.

any recommendations???

is the steak better than the chicken fajita burrito???

the carnitas better than the pastor??

one more question .

do they play loud mariachi music????

if they do i am going to be in Seanny Heaven !!

La Tienda is definitely the best but closer to the venues and also a little bit cheaper is El Indio.

thank you for all your replies!!!

There is a mariachi band on Weds nights at Las Margaritas. (and the food is pretty decent)

charro outfits - check

velvetine sombreros - check

El Norteno.
Awesome food.
$5 pitchers of margarita.
Mmm.

lol.

I used to work there. I strongly disagree.

the one on 13th or 75th?

It was called El Nortino actually. I don't know if we're talking about the same place now. It's got a guy with a cowboy hat. On the right of a hotel who's name escapes me. I think they had more then one location though.

I have never heard of either of them, weird.

I heard going outside is fun.

Oh come on now, I did live in Gville for around 12 years and I never heard of it. I've been to Los Margaritas, El Toro, Burrito Brothers and El Indio. But not El Nortino.
