El Lagunero Mexican cuisine in Jacksonville tx - (Near Jacksonville, TX)

5 /5 calvin hobbs: This is one of my favorite places in Jacksonville. Normally, I go straight for the Gorditas because I’m a big gordita fan. But on this day, I decided on the Deluxe Huarache Plate. The Huarache has a bed of thick masa shaped into an oval, and I became intrigued because I’m a huge fan of thickened and particularly crispy fried or grilled masa. I have a beautiful relationship with a dish called “machete” at a few places, I can find that serve it, and it turned me on to how wonderful crispy thick masa can be. The Huarache Plate is served with meat of your choice, rice, beans, lettuce, pico de gallo, sour cream, queso fresco and avocado. I nixed the avocado based on humanitarian reasons…namely, I hate avocado! To round out the plate, you get a street taco with meat of your choice, served with onion and cilantro. I got adobo pork in the huarache, which came as short lengths of meat marinated with a wonderful red sauce while the street taco I selected with desebrada meat was tender, perfectly spiced, and delicious! Highly recommend!

5 /5 Amy Riley: This place was so good. The food. The service. The drinks. The chips and salsa. 10 stars! The bathroom was super clean and I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant.

1 /5 Lillie Lawler: Seeing all the positive reviews made us excited to give it a try. So, so disappointed. Salsa was just tomatoes, no heat whatsoever. I had to ask for some sauce with heat. Brought out 2 squeeze bottles with green sauce. I added some to the plain tomatoes for a little spice. The chips were stale and tough. As for the food it was one-dimensional in taste. No freshness, whatsoever. Luckily there was a slice of lime that I squeezed on the street taco and the huarache, which was so greasy tasty. Sorry, East Texas, weve yet been able to find good Mexican food here. As for the atmosphere, ceiling tiles were falling apart, signs and pictures were cheap and old, and one lady came out to clean the table next to us with a rag so strong smelling with ammonia it made me gag. The only positive. The waitress was kind and always had a smile.

5 /5 Brashear Rick “Elsinator89R”: Some very good authentic Mexican Food. And the different hot sauces they bring you are definitely great! I like to come here once or twice a week. Great food!
