I can't say enough good things about this place. The fresh hand made tortillas every weekend are the best. The service is great and everything is fresh in that store. Thank you for being in Jacksonville!
Very very good tacos. Honestly some of the best authentic Mexican tacos in Jacksonville. The Barbacoa taco is amazing and is definitely a must try. The corn tortillas were freshly made and very crispy. It's tucked away in a strip center, so it was nice and peaceful.
We went to this restaurant based on a recommendation from a food blogger. We ordered the California burrito, Pastor tacos and Cabeza tacos. The burrito was delicious, tender and filling. Tacos were good as well. I liked chips and salsa because salsa was not too spicy and I do not know why but it first place where I could not stop eat these chips. It was not busy at that time so food came fast enough. I felt like I'm in Mexican drama because of music fit perfectly this place.
I liked all the things I ordered. The food was authentic, and the servers were kind! We were seated quickly and times we have ordered pickup, the food was ready quickly!
Food was delicious and awesome. The service was spot on. The vibe, music, and layout is amazing. It was my first visit to El Castillo but I will be back for more steak, chicken, and shrimp. The rice, beans, tortilla, and veggies were great too.
I have lived in mandarin for over 15 years and I have tried all the taco places near my area but I seamed to never remember El Castillo... I had lunch yesterday and the tacos were amazing! I had 3 tacos (Al pastor, asada and carnitas) had them Castillo style which only comes with onions, cilantro and lime. They brought us a basket with chips and salsa as well for us to munch on while we waited for our food. My friend had 3 asada tacos gringo style which has sour cream, cilantro and other toppings. She said that they were the best tacos she has had in Florida so far. (She just came back from a Mexico trip) I loved that it's a little grocery store and you can find lots of Hispanic and Mexican items for sale. I will definitely make this place a top spot for tacos and they are open early for breakfast and late for dinner!! Sorry forgot to take pictures... next time :)
Still at the top of my taco spots in Jax!! They have expanded and the market section is now separate from the dining area.
We came on a friday night and we were seared immediately. Our server was very kind and brought us chips and salsa and took our drink order while we browsed the menus. The chips were a little stale but the salsa was good enough that we didn't mind. Our server brought our margaritas and was also very patient with us as we tripped of over the pronunciation which I appreciated. While we waited for our food we sipped our margaritas which tasted great. For flavors they had mango, passionfruit, strawberry and a couple others. For the tacos the Cabeza was my favorite, it had a nice had a good fat to meat ratio. The Pastor had a nice flavor but wasn't very tender. The Caldo de res which was the beef rib soup was the star of the show. The soup had a flavorful and hearty broth, the vegetables were tender and the meat slid right off the bone and wasn't over cooked.Lastly we got the Costilla de Res al la Plancha which consisted of beef ribs that had a nice flavor but were a little dry. Overall the food was good and I'll definitely stop by again.
