New Mexican Restaurant
Naldo's Mexican Restaurant has been closed for about 3 weeks.
It is now reopened by a new owner. It is still named Naldo's, but when the new Sign comes in, it will be Tequila Cantina. It is located at 3551 Wedgewood Lane, in the strip center by Publix on 466. I have eaten there, and the food is good, service is good, nice decor, piped in Mexican Music, and a nice outdoor patio. You people that don't want to go back to Los Maguyes might want to try this one. FYI be advised only dinner menu on Saturday and Sunday. |

Thanks. We ate at Naldo's a few times but recently they have not offered take-out so had to skip them and get something else.

We got Crispers almost once a week and the Talk of the Villages people would meet there every week on Friday afternoon around three if memory serves. Once in a while one of the owners back then of Talk of the Villages--Talk Host-- would buy the meals.

Naldo's never got it together. Will try the new place for sure.

Visited last night, Very Good.
We were told the owner is the cook. I like that idea. |

That place has changed hands more times than I can count. Running a SMB today is always a loss despite whether it is good or not. People open businesses not having a clue as to the expenses involved but only by thinking "I can make the best guac" not realizing they are stuck in a 5 or 10 year lease they must personally sign for even though they are a corp. That's why chains with multiple locations have a better (but not great) chance because the losses can be spread among them. Good luck to this guy but isn't he the 3rd Mexican rest to take over that space after Crispers left.? Everyonme has a dream to own their own SMB.....then they wake up to reality (I write this from 25+ years of personal experience) back when things were good). Today the insurance costs alone can kill you.

You are correct, has the highest failure rate of any business, and that was before Covid, labor shortages, and hyper inflation. Very difficult business.

Ever watch restaurant impossible? Do not believe they can fix a poorly run place in two days but do believe how little owners will know about their business and how poor the food they are serving is.

Agree. One mistake that some people make is to buy a franchise restaurant, or other business that has no name recognition. So, they are basically paying someone a huge amount for business training. And then, they need to pay a percentage of their gross proceeds forever, even if the business loses money.
