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! 👎

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.

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. :-)

Haven't visited the new Mexican restaurant in Wildwood, but found one in Pedro this week that we did not know about. Called Rice and Beans BBQ - but the menu is more Mexican. We had tacos and burrito dishes with rice and beans - served hot, tasty, by a friendly wait staff in a clean establishment. Their salsa is very good! They serve beer/wine. If you want to avoid the lines in The Villages - give them a try. SW corner of Hwy 475 and County 42.

We've passed by there a couple of times. Looked like a decent place and we'll have to try it.

Enjoyed our meal at Los Magueyes and will be back!
 
My husband noticed this restaurant when he went to the Wildwood post office earlier in the week and we stopped in to Los Magueyes for lunch today. It was very good.

They served fresh tortilla chips and one of the best salsas we have had in a long time. They serve lunch from 11am to 2:30pm and have a special lunch menu. It even includes half orders of items like beef or chicken fajitas and nacho supremes. I veered away from my usual picks and selected the pollo tapatio, a grilled chicken breast with spinach, mushrooms and onions in a great flavored cheese sauce with rice and beans. (It also came with tortillas, but I wasn't sure how to eat this meal using the tortillas). My husband ordered a combination dinner of a burrito, an enchilada and a chile relleno. His came with a small salad with guacamole on the plate and rice and beans. (His barometer of how good a Mexican restaurant is their chile relleno, which was quite good and had a kick to it.) Their menu has a great variety and good prices. We both enjoyed our food, the friendly service and the close proximity to our home in TV.

In earlier posts, it was mentioned that there was no liquor, only beer and wine. I can't confirm this, as we ordered soft drinks, but there was a sign on the table for Margaritas for (I think) $3.99.

We are happy to have found this restaurant and expect to be frequent guests!

The Margaritas are made with wine, but are quite tasty. The food is very good and the beer is reasonable.
