Los Aviña

A tasty, family run Mexican restaurant off Archer Road just outside of Gainesville. My friends have eaten here before so they like to come here. The only thing I'd improve is everything is styrofoam or disposable paper plates; I would think investing in real dinnerware would be cheaper?!? A lunch special was huevos with some type of sausage and side of beans, rice and tortillas. The eggs were scrambled with the sausage and very tasty in the wrap. Friends got taco salads and they were huge and enjoyed.

I have a standard to making reviews.1. Parking and Surroundings: plenty of parking right in front of the rest. Easy to get in and out.2. Seating, Ambiance: Authentic Mexican furniture, chairs, standard seating, simple old town feeling and decor, acompanied by ranchero, mexican folk misic, mariachi playing as background music.3. Seat yourself anywhere you please. The waitres will immediatly take your order in English or Spanish. Answering any questions you may have about the entrees. They came to the table several times to check on us, very nice and with the outmost attention. 4. Food. We ordered two Tilapia Aviña plates. These came really hot, perfectly cooked with the right amount of seasoning made me forget that it was tilapia, served with yellow spanish rice, tortillas, guacamole and pico de gallo. It was a palatial experience as the tilapia requires carefull eating.Very well presented and tastefull. The pictures speak for themselves.5. Fried ice cream, deliciously crafted. Love the crunchy crust that covers the ice cream. Vanilla with chocolate syrop on top.Overall from 1 to 10. I give it a nine. Taste, food, service "9.5" Will be coming back.

Great Mexican food, in a quaint and clean south western atmosphere. Good service. All you can eat chips and salsa.

My fiancé and came to explore the town of Bronson while house hunting and ran into this Mexican restaurant. Authentic and fresh Mexican food. Upon sitting our server, Jorge, greeted us and brought over fresh salsa and chips. We came for lunch and both ordered Alambres dish- steak fajita with onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms with melted cheese on a skillet with fresh, hot corn tortillas. Affordable prices and clean restaurant. I'll definitely be coming back to try other dishes!!

It's my first time here and I like it. The place is simple and pretty. Very nice waitress. There weren't many people in the place, so it was quiet. The food arrived on time and hot. Besides being delicious. The prices are comfortable and the portion is enough. I would definitely go back.

This place was never a gourmet restaurant and nor did I ever expect it to be but it has gone so downhill since I first started dining there around 5 years ago that I decided to update my review. Turns out I've never reviewed it which is a shame as I would have loved having a record of thinking this was an acceptable place to get a taco.Beef, chicken or shrimp. Lettuce. Tomato. Refried beans. Unmelted cheese. That's the majority of the dishes here. Whether you order a taco, burrito, quesadilla or enchilada, it all tastes the same. So bland and uninspired, the presentation all looks the same. On my most recent visit I ordered a taco and chalupa with rice and an order of quesadillas to go. I received someone else's order and I didn't even notice at first because I was so blown away by how stale and tasteless everything was. I had hoped the stale taco shells from my previous visit were a fluke but sadly, the taco I received was just as stale. Literally the only thing with any flavor was the cheese, the not-melted-properly cheese. That's pretty pathetic. Please don't think my rating reflects not receiving the correct order. No, it truly reflects the quality of the food.The food was downright dreadful. Not just on my recent visit. It has steadily been getting more and more pitifully bland over the years. The highest I ever would have rated this place was 3-stars and even then it was always "this is good for the area" or "this is a nice alternative to Taco Bell". Not anymore! Taco Bell is far superior to the dreck they serve here.As for the service, it's always ranged from acceptable to ok. But they can't handle more than a few customers at a time. People at your table will receive food at different times or everything, apps and dinners, will come out all at once. One time I even had a waitress who not only hadn't eaten Mexican food before but was so unfamiliar with the menu she didn't know, hadn't even heard of, what a burrito was.I live really close to this place. But I won't be back again. In the future I'll take the 25 minutes to drive to the Taco Bell in Chiefland. Five years of food that used to be ok but now tastes like cardboard and gross hard cheese is enough.

Consistently good food, always hot and flavors are on key. I personal find the salsa a little to hot, but the queso is delicious. High recommended the Archer and the new Bronson location.

We decided to try this restaurant after passing through town several times. We arrived on a Saturday at the perfect time, around 4:30 PM. I say that because around 6:00 PM they started to get very busy. We ordered combination meals, i.e. tacos, chile relenos, tostada, and enchilada. The food was quite good. I am a huge fan of chile relenos. I was very happy to see that they do not batter the chile and deep fry it. It has no batter at all which I was very happy about. The chips and salsa get delivered when you are seated. The salsa is very good, but has no heat at all. If you like heat you may want to ask for a bottle of hot sauce. We ordered micheladas, which were very good. Service, again very good. It's worth a visit being the only Mexican restaurant in this small town.

Horrible service. Doesn't answer the phone. Prices are listed very wrong. Won't change the prices online or fix your order when you arrive. Waste of time and money. Don't waste your time with this place.

They over charged me and i didn't realize until i got home. Veggie quesadilla . Tacos. Flan. Sopapilla.guac.$48!!!? The food was terrible, no seasoning, not even salt. Taco bell would have been better. Guac looked like it came out of a bag. Quesadilla wet and slimy. Bland and cheap tasting. I threw it away
