La Fiesta is the best mexican restaurant in Gainesville!It's fast,friendly, & GREAT FOOD!It's hard to find a restaurant in Gainesville that gets you in and out with in minutes.I recommend trying to finish one their AWESOME Jumbo MARGARITAS (the size of your head) by yourself!!!
I have eaten at La Fiesta for over 17 years the food is always great and service friendly. I like the new location on 39th Ave but even if it wasn't there I would drive the extra miles back to the old location. Best Mexican in Gainesville
This is the best mexican place in town. I have been eating here for years and have never had a bad experience. They have opened a second location on 39th Ave NW & I-75, behind burger king. If you plan on going during the weekend dinner rush be prepared to wait a bit (it's very popular). Also, i...
La Fiesta is a wonderful restaurant. THE BEST in Gainesville! I have been going since 1995 and have been to all the mexican restaurants in Gainesville and still feel they win the prize :) Always friendly staff and great place to relax and enjoy friends and family :)
Best food I've had in Gainesville in a long time. Good food, good prices, good service.
great place to grab a burger and a beer, especially tuesday nights, when it's $5 all the beer you can drink and $2 burgers. friendly bartenders.
The food was great...we love the chicken bowl!
The plates were dirty, the chicken was undercooked and the manager was unapologetic. I definitely do not recommend this restaurant unless you prefer lots of low quality food. The meal was bland (chicken florentine) although there was enough food for three meals. The waitress was fairly nice, but ...
this is the worst excuse for italian food i have ever had... i had heard plenty of good things about the great italian food that napolatanos serves, and all i can think is that those people have never had italian before. the food was bland, the bread was soggy and had no taste, and the desserts com...
Just about the best italian food i've had in northern florida. The owners, dean and ginger were very friendly and wanted to make a good impression, which they did desserts were great.overall a pleasant experience served
So much to choose from...the pizza is the best!!
Napolatanos is an instituion in Gainesville, and for good reason. I have to say, this is the type of place you either love or hate. Its not a chain, and doesn't try to be. Its at heart a mom and pop deal, and the couple in question are truely remarkable people. The food ain't gormet, but the loy...
There are no words to describe the wonderful food and atmosphere of Napolatano's. I LOVE it. Truly delicious meals, salads, seafood, burgers, and especially PIZZA and calzones! I think I've had just about everything on the menu and it's all great, to say the least. The owners are truly remarkabl...
My husband and I took the kids to dinner last week and had the most wonderful experience while there. The server obviously loved children and paid special attention to our kids so that my husband and I actually got to have a conversation. The food was fantastic...I recommend the St. Jacob Saute, my...
high priced low quality food.
I had been hearing about this restaurant for a while, but we live on the opposite end of town. My wife and I finally made it to Northwest Grille this past weekend. Our experience was great! This local gem is hidden off of NW 39th Ave and has some of the best seafood we've had in a long time. Our ent...
My family has been to nw grille on numerous occasions and i can honestly state that it has always been an excellent evening. We have no problem recommending it to friends. My favorite is the bleu cheese stuffed grouper and their homemade desserts. The ambiance is a little dark sometimes, but that is...
My wife and I have been eating here for over 10 years. The specials never disappoint and the food is always top-quality. Recently they have switched to local vegetables which we love. The place is a little dated in terms of the look, but it does not detract from the experience. It the go to spot whe...
This seafood restaurant is hidden from plain view in Timber Village Shoppes on 39th Ave. Someone from their restaurant brought our business $5 gift certificates and also told us about their 9 new lunch specials priced at $7 and up. I had always gone for dinner which is always great. The specials cre...
I am always surprised at the poor reviews from people who don't sound like they'd know good food if you paid them to eat it. Or the huge amount of students and folks from Gainesville who frequent the chain restaurants that use corporate guidelines and stick to the same recipes throughout the entire ...
