Haydees Cafe And Cantina

Love this spot! The food is consistently delicious and I especially love their breakfast menu. Their Chilaquiles dishes are some of the best I've ever had. I am also grateful for the servers here. They are ALWAYS friendly and welcoming as is the management. Anytime you feel appreciated in an eating establishment these days is wonderful and I always feel that way here. The atmosphere is super casual but not "divey" and I like that too. A solid choice all around!

We absolutely love Haydee's. The owner and staff are amazing. The food is authentic Mexican and is great! The restaurant is always clean. We go about once a week sometimes more. We love it! We recommend Haydee's to everyone! If you are looking for great food and great service you can't beat it!

Delicious! Guacamole was so fresh. Corn tacos - steak and camaron were both excellent. Steak and chorizo burrito was very good! Great service; we will be back!

Yummy and great conversation with the manager!!!! We will be back!!!! Great seating and tvs for sports

Haydees Cafe & Cantina - Gainesville, GA Have you been to Haydees Cafe & Cantina in Gainesville?! If you love Mexican food and you haven't, what are you waiting for? This spot has a spacious dining area and a fun menu. No matter what you order, it's going to be tasty. What do I enjoy ordering? I like starting with their TACO PAPAS--think nachos but with fries. I get mine topped with chicken, and it's a game-changer. Do you like tamales? Their tamale plate is delicious and filling. And if you're like me and love trying everyone's quesadillas, you won't be disappointed here either. Want to keep it simple? Their tacos are GREAT. Next time you're hungry and up for a fun menu, stop by Haydees! #RoliEats #HaydeesCafe #GainesvilleGA #MexicanFood #Goodeats #TacoPapas #Tamales #Quesadillas

Went to Gainesville for a family outing and this place was a last minute decision but I am really glad we made it. The pastor was so good, and the shredded chicken! They have the option to get grilled chicken but I always get shredded if there is a option for it and man was it not disappointing. I feel like there isn't enough places that serve it or serve it well. Got three tacos to share and it came with bean stew I don't remember the name unfortunately. I fave thing was the Chicharróns they fry them there and dang are they good they come to the table crackling! It's such a cool experience. I like the fish bowl kitchen, it's got a big window and it's fun to watch sometimes. I wish the steak taco had been a bit more moist but that pretty much my only complaint. They have handmade tortillas too, which were even used for kids quesadillas. The kids likes being able to sit at the high top tables and the tv's are huge. Kinda sports bar with a day of the dead(Día de los Muertos) theme going on. The servers were great and they all seemed like a team.

Yesterday was my first visit and for sure I'll be back! The food was excellent and what was really impressing was the open kitchen with a lot of glass so you could see all the food being cooked and prepped fresh right in front of you. Luis and his team provided above average customer service with a smile! The café area and the outdoor seating areas were spotless. The bathrooms were clean and well kept. The overall customer experience I had was well above any other similar operation in Gainesville, Georgia. Louise certainly has the passion for his customers, to deliver the best food to perfection and provide exceptional experience. The flow to the outside seating and an open window connected to the bar are going to be rocki this spring and summer.

We brought a neighborhood group of 15 tonight and I was blown away by the food and service!!!! Best Mexican in Gainesville, by far!!!! The guacamole was great! Had the Taco Tuesday Steak Tacos were outstanding!!!! I have never had charro beans, but these are not to be missed!!!! Sooooo much flavor! I could eat a swimming pool size bowl!!!! We are a tough group, all with separate checks, but our waitress (beautiful name, starts with Y I think) was a champ! Kept it all straight and you can pay with QR code! Run, don't walk to Haydees! Will be back very soon!

Okay so I'm home for the holidays coming from California. The tacos here are HUGE!!!!! Like one here is the size of 3 in Cali. With homemade tortillas to boot! I'm so glad this isn't in Cali or I'd gain 500 pounds. Flavorful, affordable, and huge, a winning combo!

This is the second Haydees location and it's just as good as the first down in Oakwood. They had a special on four tacos the day we tried it and they were outstanding. I had one steak, one chicken, one pastor and one fish. They were all different in flavor and ingredients, all outstanding! I was also impressed by the Charo beans. Normally beans are just an expected side but these were amazing, the broth they were cooked in was outstanding. Service was friendly, prompt and helpful. I love that it's a sit down, table service but fast food restaurant with a full bar and TV. Can't wait to try more of their menu items, especially breakfast.
