Aurelio’s Mexican Restaurant #2

I've driven past this place a gazillion times and haven't popped in, but I was craving Mexican tonight and they're close to home. Best decision ever!
Service - Excellent! Not only was our waitress an absolute sweetheart, but I noticed other servers keeping an eye on each other's tables and clearing plates on tables that weren't theirs. Definitely seemed like a true 'team' of people who work well together.
Food- Amazing! I tried a new dish (Chile poblano) and was very pleasantly surprised by it! To clarify- it was new to me, not new on their menu. It was flavorful and very filling! I sampled my husband's Tamales Verde and I would totally order them for myself. They serve pretty good sized plates at a decent price (comparable to most other restaurants in this area). We left full and happy! Zero complaints!
Atmosphere- Perfection! They had live entertainment tonight - a gentleman with a guitar and music setup and he has such a soothing and pleasant voice. I could listen to him sing all night. He did lots of old songs that I wanted to sing along to but I had a mouthful of food. Lol.
This is 100% a place my family will return to. I think the singer said he's there on Friday nights, so I guess I'll make sure that's when we visit again. 😊

We enjoyed our experience here. The taco salad was one of the best I’ve had. The salsa was a little too spicy for me but the waitress was able to bring out some enchilada sauce to help with the spice. We will be back.

So far the best Mexican restaurant I've been to in Gainesville. I've tried several and this one did not disappoint! The food was great and I loved how nicely decorated and clean the interior was. Will definitely be returning!

So excited for the chips and cheese at Aurelio’s!

I really enjoyed our meal at Aurelio’s. Our server Paloma was so sweet and funny, the salsa here is cold, tasty and fresh. My grapefruit cocktail was awesome (and came in the most adorable cup) and our dinners were good.

A little spicier than some other local Mexican places I’ve been to, but very flavorful and good. I’m admittedly a wimp about spice and it wasn’t so spicy I couldn’t handle it!

My burrito loco with ALL the meats was delicious, every bite.
