Geez, haven't been here in years now I know why I haven't gone! Gross, Gross Gross!!! Enchiladas are disgusting, who puts cottage cheese looking cheese on them? barley any chicken also. It should be a red sauce to say the least, The Black beans would have been ok, but the cilantro was over kill. I do not recommend this place. Wasted a lot of money for uneatable food.
This is the New Port Richey on Old SR54. Today is my birthday May 6 and yesterday I called about their special on birthdays (last year my neighbor took me on May 5th and they would not honor because they said it has to be your birthday) I thought this year I would go since it is close to my home. I called and asked the girl what the rules were. She said I could come by myself but I had to buy something else beside the meal like a drink. I said ok I can do that. When I arrived today the girl at the door said I had to have two drinks, two meals to get the birthday special. I was just going to go home and make lunch but then saw a neighbor was home so I asked if she wanted to go. She said absolutely and we headed back over there. When we got the bill the birthday special was not on it. The same girl said they needed to see my drivers licese to verify-NO ONe said anything about that when I called or was there the first time. My neighbor was just going to pay for it but I said no I will go get my drivers license. I rode home while she waited at the restaurants and got my license and returned. Slapped it down on the counter in front of the manager and she never even looked at it, I will never go there again. Misinformation and they made a living hell out of my birthday. I would not recommend to anyone, and there food is small portions and expensive.
Margaritas and avocado salad delicious extra avocado, extra salsa, much salad, V wow
I dined at the restaurant on Monday 03.17.2025 at 7:15pm.
The restaurant closes at 9pm on Mondays.
Absolutely loved it - the food and the restaurant!!!
My server was TESSA and she was the BEST!!! The food was delicious!!! I had chicken fajitas along with a puffy-shell crispy taco!! My taco had shredded chicken, lettuce, tomato and cheese - it was great! The chicken fajitas were delicious! For my sides; I got black beans, charro beans and rice. The black beans were NOT served with cheese on top - yes! The black beans had cilantro and onions - yummy! The charro beans had jalapenos and onions - unique flavor that was impressive! The guac and the red salsa were both delicious! The red salsa was exquisite for my taste buds; never tasted a salsa like that and was extremely pleased. THE SWEET TEA WAS PERFECT - not too sweet and had enough sugar to make me drink two glasses! The salsa verde and the rice - both items were great. I will DEFINITELY return and bring my family!
There were photos with history of the photos beside them. Being the history buff that I am in - I loved reading the information beside each photo. Nice touch!
Parking: Lot of spots but in a strip mall with other retail businesses. I visited at 7:15pm and plenty of parking available. During day when all of the businesses are open; may not be as plentiful.

I had chicken tortilla soup; excellent, more like a meal. Margaritas were super. We were with a group of 17 or 18 and everyone enjoyed

The food is really good. The servers are very nice and friendly. They definitely need to do a better job of checking back on you for drink refills though.
Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessibility isn't the best, but we have gotten my wife in there twice now.
