Having lived near a sizable Mexican community in Homestead, Florida, I can say that we are accustomed to authentic cuisine. The restaurant's ambiance is quite pleasant, and I really appreciate the location. It is relatively small and compact, which can give the impression of being more crowded than it actually is. We opted for some traditional Mexican dishes based on the patrons present, and while the flavors were quite good, they didn't fully match what we're used to. Nevertheless, we would recommend this place, so be sure to come by for an enjoyable atmosphere.

After calling to inquire about their Groupon, I spoke with Stephanie, who was truly a delight! Her energy was EVERYTHING—warm, welcoming, and instantly got us excited for our visit.

As a lifelong New Yorker, of course I knew of Gonzalez y Gonzalez, but it had been at least a decade since my last visit. Safe to say, this experience was a great reintroduction.

The Groupon was a fantastic deal, including a shared appetizer, two entrées each, one dessert, and four drinks—definitely bang for our buck! We started with the Mezcal Mussels, which came in a flavorful sauce with toasted bread (we immediately wanted more!). For entrées, we had the Chicken Chimichanga and Chuletas Al Pastor, both solid choices. And the churros? Unexpectedly AMAZING! Crispy, warm, and perfectly dusted with cinnamon sugar.

For drinks, I had the Spicy Jalapeño Margarita, while my partner went for the Mango Margarita—both hit the spot.

As self-proclaimed foodies, while this wasn’t the best Mexican food we’ve ever had, it was undeniably a solid choice for good eats, great value, and an even better vibe. The service was top-notch, with multiple staff members checking in on us from the moment we walked in. Our server, Carlos, was friendly, attentive, and had great recommendations, which really set the tone for a wonderful night.

We left just before the salsa dancing started, but it’s clearly a longstanding tradition and looks like a fun time—whether you’re a seasoned dancer or just there to enjoy the energy.

Overall, Gonzalez y Gonzalez delivers neighborhood vibes, solid food, and a memorable night out. We’d absolutely return (maybe for brunch next?!)—and you should too!

Came for dinner after watching NYU game and plus wifey loves Mexican food. Ordered a variety of things - MIL got steak tacos, wifey got a steak burrito, lil man got shrimp empanadas, and I got fried shrimp and calamari.  We also got chips and guacamole for the table.

Overall food was pretty good. Lil man didn’t like his shrimp empanadas though - he said too much vegetables and not enough shrimp. The burrito tasted fine. MIL liked her tacos. And the fried shrimp and calamari was lightly fried and tasted fine.

We were seated right away. Had to show ID at the front, which I have never done before anywhere else but was not bothered by it. Inside was dark. Hard to see the plates.

Service was good. The waiter made our guacamole table side and it tasted great. The only thing was we had to wait a bit for the waiter to come around to ask for the check. But then again there was maybe two servers working.

Overall a pleasant experience. We have not been here in years. And I’m glad that the place is still open.

Stopped by here for a quick bite to eat late at night
Pleasantly surprised by the fresh guacamole made tableside in front of you-tasted really good - this was the highlight
Disappointed with the chicken quesadilla- I make better at home
Also the service was slow and the sangria was not great
Margaritas looked good - but didn't try

I went here for a friends 21st-they let us decorate. Carlos was the best waiter, so kind and attentive and patient with us! Immediately went to talk to me and the other woman leading the surprise party. Will most definitely book again! Carlos is amazing: so fun! Amazing value for the price fix, I cannot be happier with this experience!
