Anyone tried the new Mexican that went into Sam's old location ?
 
aSam's (despite its obvious lack of careful cleaning) was a favorite of ours. Now I see our favorite teppanyaki restaurant in the same plaza has closed for good. One of our favorite places, became regulars with the owners who lived in the development of Spruce Creek. Noted a similar teppanyaki is going in, cynic me, probably just higher prices and lower quality like the others in the area, but will give it a try of course. Will sure miss the early bird special there, filet, shrimp, and chicken breast all three for a more than reasonable price. Times change...LOL ! Has anyone tried the new Mexican place that took Sam's location ? What did you think ?

Real Mexican? I have my doubts. If you want good Mexican then you have to travel out of Florida and head to Colorado, New Mexico, some parts of Texas and some southern areas of California.

I ate at Sam's once and thought it was gross and would not go back. I have been to the new Mexican restaurant and it is clean, the food is good and I love the guacamole that is made fresh at the table. I would definitely recommend it

We were anxiously awaiting their opening but we’re disappointed. The chile rellenos were dry and rubbery. My wife had the beef fajitas and meat was chewy. Also they charged for an extra tortilla. Complained to manager and were told, “sorry you didn’t like, that’s the way we prepare them.” Not going back.

Only real Mexican I found around here “Old El Paso” in box in store.. I lived in Texas and New Mexico authentic Mexican was good, but for my tastes Tex Mex was liken to my tastes.

I'm with you, love Tex-Mex. Family was here last week and thought the margaritas at Jalisco were up to par.

Actually Arizona Mexican is the best in the country!

They probably get their peppers from hatch NM.

“Hatch is widely known as the "best chile place in the World," for growing a wide variety of peppers, especially the New Mexican cuisine staple, and one of New Mexico's state vegetables, the New Mexico chile”

We live close to Jelasco's, & have been there a couple of times, it's okay not the best, but the ice cream shop right down from it is great! If we want good Mexican we go to Tequila cantina, used to be Naldos, Wedgewood Lane in The villages. I'm sure some won't agree but it's our favorite

Went with a group of 8. Everyone liked it very much. Clean and great service. Have been back a couple of times and everything was great

We went with our neighbors and thoroughly enjoyed the food and service. They new owners have done a great job in designing the place. Very clean and welcoming
We have back a couple of times and food has been consistently good
Plus there is a new great ice cream place a couple of doors down that does ice cream filled glazed donuts. Messy but good
