The problem with this post is that there are two Mexican restaurants in Wildwood:
Casa Agave Mexican Grill, Wildwood Crossings
Los Magueyes Mexican Restaurant, Wildwood Shopping Center

I prefer Los Magueyas better, but you need to be aware that every year around this time there is about 6 weeks when it is awful. I asked about it once and it seems the chef takes a vacation back to someplace he calls home every year. And the food goes from great to terrible when he is gone. He is usually back around now. But don'e ever go in August.

I was just about to post that info. The Casa Agave Mexican Grill is fairly new, it took over the space that was occupied by Beef O'Bray's next to Pizza Hut carry out. I've heard it was good, but for me to change from Fiesta Grande, it would have to be very good. The one in the Shopping Center near the post office is Los Magueyes and I believe the one Bosoxfan is referencing, and I agree with him 100%, went there once and will never go back. I ordered a taco and I pretty sure they used shredded roast beef instead of ground beef, it was awful.

You wouldn't be interested in Fiesta Grande, this photo was taken at Fiesta Grande. You have a cast iron plate filled with steak strips, peppers and onions still sizzling as it's placed on your table and a regular plate filled with the fixin's plus rice and beans, also sour cream which I have them leave off and three soft taco shells. I guess it's so popular on the lunch menu, I've seen the price go from $8.25, to $8.95 to now, it's $9.90, but still well worth it.

Fiesta Grand is our go to Mexican Restaurant here in The Villages. I'm used to the thin steak strips but this restaurant will never surpass Jose Tejas in NJ because of the taste and the size of the steak strips.

Casa Agave in Wildwood is my favorite. Naldo's is very good and handy by golf cart. Lazy Mac's Taco Shack has homemade Margaritas that are pretty darn authentic.

The last time we were there was the beginning of August, I think. Absolutely awful!

Wildwood's Los Magueyes has it all. Happy atmosphere, great food (Their Molcajete and Camerones Los Magueyes are my faves). Fresh fresh fresh guac and superior values. Terrific waitstaff.

We also love it there. I've been ordering the burrito bowl, very good!

We like the mocajete at Fiesta Grande and at El Ranchito. (I suggest to NOT ever order anything at El Ranchito with 'beef' since most dishes come with ground beef that is horrible!!).

We've been to many of the Mexican restaurants listed above. The two in Wildwood are just OK. Fiesta Grande is just OK. In my opinion the best tasting food, hands down, is LaPalma. Brisas del Mar II is just as good, but a bit pricier. A poster above mentioned Ay Jaslisco along with LaPalma and Brisas, so we'll have to try it.

Our 2 favorites are Las Brisas del Mar on 441 just south of 466, and San Jose's in Leesburg, on 27 just south of 44.

We like the one at Colony Plaza; don't care for the one in Spanish Springs. Haven't tried Casa Agave yet - thanks for the tip. Fiesta Grande at Colony has some great grilled chicken in their dishes, but I'll admit it's noisy as h*ll.
