New Mexican Restaurant
 

I see that The Villages Gourmet Club Facebook Page is announcing a new Mexican Restaurant coming to Wildwood.

Hope it's a good one.

Me too. I love Mexican food.

I would also love to have a good Mexican restaurant nearby. But alas, according to the Gourmet Club's website, they will only have a beer and wine license, so no really good margaritas.

Love Ay Jelisco...L-9 Chicken lunch...deeelicious

What is on L9? Never much cared for the choices I made there. Maybe I made the wrong choices?

From the title I initially thought the topic concerned a New Mexican restaurant. Rather, it relates to a new Mexican restaurant. Just as long as the food is fresh, properly prepared, tasty and hot...Ole!

We went last night and we enjoyed it. 1.75 beer and combination dinners are 9.99
We had enchiladas and tacos. Salsa is homemade each morning. We are picky about Mexican food since we are from Texas.

What is the name of this Mexican restaurant and is it where Azteca used to be?

Name and Location, Please!
 

Exactly......where??? Do they have a website??

Try the link in post #1.

We will give it the Arizona challenge. Nothing better than Sonoran Mexican food :icon_hungry:

Here's the real link, to the restaurant which is located in Colony Plaza.
Fiesta Grande Mexican Grill | Mt Dora, FL

I don't wish to rain on a Mexican parade, but we have had 3 bad experiences at this restaurant. I will give them credit though, their past few health department scores have been very low (unsatisfactory), and it is now a 94. Despite that recent score increase it is 3 strikes and they are out from my perspective.

Which restaurant?

It's in the center where the Wildwood post office is

The Mexican restaurant in Colony Plaza.

This is from the referenced Facebook page. A little confusing as to the name:


Now Open. Los Tres Magueyes Mexican Restaurant, 344 Shopping Center Dr., Wildwood, FL. 10.9 mile drive from The Villages. 461-0577. (Mexican) L/D. Opened early October, 2015. It's in the Wildwood Shopping Center where Rita's Oyster Bar and Grill did business, a while back. "The Three Agaves" is it's name. Offering traditional Mexican fare. Combo dinners start at $15. Wine and beer licensed. Happy Hour 2-7 PM. Juan Jaime-Rodriguez and Gloria Rayas-Cervantes, owners.

Do they serve New Mexican food in the New Mexican Restaurant? Do they make Albaturkey?

A LITTLE confusing??? That's like calling the Queen Mary a rowboat

What's so confusing? The name is Los Tres Magueyes Mexican Restaurant and I saw an ad recently in the Happy Paper.

The confusion is HUGE. Don't get me wrong. I love the Mexican Restaurants.

I get it---"The Three Agaves" is the translation of Los Tres Magueyes
Sorry, no habla espaniol

Green or red? I love it when I am eating at a NM restaurant, the wait person asks that question and someone at the table from out of state gets a blank look on his or her face.

What's confusing is that this post was supposed to be about the new Mexican Restaurant in Wildwood that opened last week and we're getting reviews and opinions about long established restaurants in Spanish Springs and Colony.

Los Magueyes Restaurant in Wildwood
 

We had dinner there tonight and found it to be very good. They have a Grand Opening Special of two combination dinners for $15. Also imported beers, such as my favorite Negra Modelo, for only $1.75 on happy hour. I had a Cheese Chili Relleno, Cheese Enchilada and taco. My BF had Beef Enchilada and Beef Chili Relleno. The rice was excellent. He had beans and rice and liked them both. It is fresh and clean looking inside, the staff is wonderful. They also have a restaurant in Mt. Dora. It is in the Sav-a-Lot shopping plaza. We will be back, and soon.

If you're still referring to the Colony Plaza Mexican restaurant, we had eaten there a couple of times and it was ok; we ate there last week and it will be the last. Had chicken enchiladas and took one bite - no flavor, something didn't taste right; unrolled them - ALL DARK MEAT. I don't mind dark meat in fried chicken, just never had it in enchiladas. Got a Mgr., said sorry they had ran out of white meat; refund? No way. Adios, amigo.

that's a great review
i think i will try it out---i hope i can talk my friends into it

We agree!

Don't you love it when a poster comments about a place and doesn't give it's name?

If you are referring to my post, I noted previously that it was the Mexican restaurant in Colony Plaza. [emoji28]

L-9 Chicken lunch is chick taco, chic burrito, beans and rice and chips and salsa...$6.50..big pitcher of beer is $6.50...mmmmmmmmmmgood

Just ate there. The highlight of the meal was the chips and salsa if you ask me! Everything tasted the same because my enchiladas and my husband quesadillas were both cooked with lots of peppers and onions! 👎

L-9 Chicken lunch at Ay Jelisco in Spanish Springs is a pulled chicken taco and burrito and rice and beans w/lettuce and tomatoes..$6.50...yummy

We come from the Washington, DC area where we had excellent Mexican, Spanish, and Chinese restaurants. Unfortunately, none near the Villages are any good. We go to Latinos y Mas in Ocala for Spanish and Mexican and Central American food, and we're still looking for an excellent Chinese place. We hoped that Las Tapas in Brownwood would be good, but the tapas were not and the paella had almost no flavor. We find that the drive to Latinos y Mas is worth it when we're in the mood for Spanish or Mexican food.

Try Yummy House in Ocala. Great Chinese food.

Excellent... we will go back for sure.

I really am not a fan of the authentic mexican food. We went to the one in Ocala and I just couldn't find any of my favorites on the menu. I'll stick to the americanized versions we have here. I like the mexican restaurant in Colony and the one in Spanish Springs. I think their food is very good.

Los Tres Magueyes Mexican Restaurant, 344 Shopping Center Dr., Wildwood is our new favorite. We have been there numerous times and taken several couples, who all liked it, and they took other friends. We used to go to the Colony one, but there is always such a wait. This one in Wildwood has delicious food, fairly priced and for those of you that live in the southern end of T.V., it is not that far away.
It is located in the shopping center where Ace Hardware, the post office, etc. are off Main st. in Wildwood. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Thank you will definitely give it a try. :-)
