“I like this stand very much and that's what it is stand. But the business is right behind it making hundreds of tamales. They have a good variety that are well stuffed. Not like some of the street vendors that you don't know which ones are the ones with mostly maza very lil meat. Besides that they're pretty big very moist with salsa included. Red or green depending on your hot tolerance. Hmmm good imma go get me some!!!!“

“We love to come here sit in the bar with margaritas, chips/salsa. Meet all types of people, a fun time.“

“At Villanueva Mexican Restaurant, embark on a salsa odyssey that elevates the ordinary to extraordinary! Their legendary salsa bar, a carnival of flavors, turns each bite into a fiesta. The shrimp fajitas, while promising a flavor explosion, waded through a sea of gravy, a twist in our culinary tale. Though this unexpected plot thickens our journey, the salsas alone make Villanueva a treasure worth exploring. It's a solid four-star adventure, where every dip transports you closer to Mexico. Dive into Villanueva for a taste escapade that’s almost perfect – just watch out for the gravy waves!Recommendations:Their salsa bar!

Vegetarian options: Few vegetarian items“

The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the shrimp fajitas while my husband had the asada tacos. The portions were perfect, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. I only wish we lived closer so we could visit more often. This place is excellent!“

“What a delightful find while I was visiting the area. It might look like a dive bar from the outside, but inside there’s a chill cozy vibe, warm and attentive service, and delicious food! I got the jumbo burrito with pork chile verde, rice, beans, and guacamole inside and wet (salsa and melted cheese) on the outside, and omg it was so flavorful and filling! A well-prepared skinny margarita with tajin rim rounded out the meal. Check it out if you’re in the area!“

“Excellent food, the caldo de res was just like mom used to make. Hubby had the bistec ranchera, which has onions and bell peppers in a tomato based sauce… hubby loved it so much he couldn’t stop talking about how yummy it was, on purpose way home. The corn tortillas are homemade as well as the chips. The salsa bar is excellent with pico de gallo and great tasting red & green salsas, the avocado salsa was excellent. The flavors were wonderful. The seating area was new and clean with a server that brings ur meals. Beautiful restaurant and great tasting food. Each meal was 15.99.“

“we have been going to this restaurant for a long time. we love their food But we noticed that they changed the portion size! We understand that everything is getting expensive but they made portion size way little. I ordered vegetarian quesadilla and always ordered and my husband ordered torta and both orders came out too small!! they barely put vegetables inside so we really did not like it!“

“Eaten here since 2012. From the times I'd get after school snacks to adulthood dinners. This place has amazing and consistent food. It's family owned and operated. The same brother that served me in 2012 served me in 2025. They know my car when I pull up and even had my usual all ready prepared while I was waiting to turn into the lot. This place will always be home. Keep up the great work, Primos“
