Are they east or wet of Publix?
It's El Ranchito, and it's across the street from Perkins. They also have another location on 441 in Leesburg, not too far past the 27/441 split.

Chicken Time, which is located in Belleview, US 441, on the right. Oh yeah, it is not Mexican, it is Puerto Rican........and delicious!

El Ranchito???

yep that is El Ranchito.

Tried it twice and found it bland IMO.

Old side El Ranchita? is the better choice. In Bushnell Coyote Rojo is very good and San Juan on 27 just past Leesburg is marvelous.

I agree with those that say there is no good mexican food, in or around the villages. Terrible is the closest you can get.
Someone who wants to make a fortune should open an authentic mexican food place.

I also love Chipotle. We can hope someday...maybe they will come here.

I don't know authentic...I just know chains like those I just mentioned. I will try the one at Colony.

I fixed soft taco's at home the other night and we all fell on them like a herd of wolves. YUM!
Gracie! Let's go! I haven't seen you in a month of Sundays. PM if oyou'd like to get together some evening in a few weeks!

Latinos y Mas is one of our favorites, however, for closer to home, we like Fiesta Grande at Colony. Will look forward to trying Azteca.

We don't worry too much about the "not authenic" complaint.....have heard it about Mexican restaurants all over the states and even other countries. May not be authenic, but it can still be quite tasty!! :)

I had really good Mexican fusion food in Ocala at Latinos y Mas. Everything was excellent and it was packed at lunch.

Drove to Orlando last week for anniversary dinner and again, realized how much we miss them. Colony restaurant is our local favorite...
Abuelos! mmmm Eat there all the time in Mason Ohio. Maybe someday in The Villages.

Try Habanero's in Leesburg just past the Lake Square Mall. It is in front of the plaza that has Publix.
