6 Best Mexican Restaurants near Wesley Chapel

“Brought my girl here last night and it was our first time, everything was amazing I wish we came sooner. We shared the big fajitas recommended by our server Mialyn S. Atmosphere was nice the restaurant inside was really nice. Would definitely recommend this place.“

“If you are to go for a meal at this place, be sure to ask for Veronica as your server!! We walked in and were greeted with such a bright smile and just her presence made the whole dining experience so much better! ☺️Great food, great service, and great ambiance!“

“We came in an hour before the restaurant was supposed to close for a quick dinner. We were met with a smile and the staff was friendly. Our food came out quick, and the portion sizes were generous. Great place to get your Mexican food fix. A+“

“This restaurant wasn't too shabby compared to everywhere else we've eaten so far for Mexican food. After throwing at Highland Axe Throwing, we decided to check out Krate and see if they had some good food, which food ended up being 90% of what was offered in the business plaza. Inside a refurbished shipping container with one wall as windows, we found a tightly fitting hole in the wall type location with fairly authentic food. The menu was posted on the wall, with a tight space for a line near the trash and the door, but the line moved quick enough and the cashier multi-lingual. He ordered a steak burrito, and I got a steak taco, a pork tamale, and an Elote cup. We asked for hot sauce as well and was given our receipt to wait. We sat next to the trash for several minutes before a couple finished up and generously offered their table. Reminded me of small town community vibes which I like, so rare that strangers speak these days. Upon getting our food, we had no hot sauce so we went up to get some and got one cup, which was almost enough for just him. I went back up and asked for some, and was given a verde. I'm not sure if my pasty skin had to do with this being given in place of hot sauce, but I laughed and asked if they had anything with heat, and I was given a red sauce. My boyfriend enjoyed the verde, a lot of flavor but no heat. I tried the red on the taco, and it was good but still not very hot, even in larger quantities. The Elote was okay, needed perhaps a little more flavor to it as well, there was very little seasoning on top/inside. The steak taco was salvageable due to the red sauce, but overall not my favorite. The meat quality was good though which has been a first across the board. The pork tamale was verrrryyyyy dry to the point I had to buy a drink so I could swallow it. Perhaps a nice salsa or something could have helped it, but it was drier than most tamales I've eaten which was disappointing. The boyfriend was happy with his burrito and said he'd eat here again. Overall: The environment- tight but what you'd expect from a family run Mexican restaurant. You eat and go, no dilly dallying. There is also outside seating if you come at a time that it's not horrendous outside. We felt like we were in a people zoo with how many folks came right up to our table by the window and stared in for periods of time. The food- I found it pretty flavorless, but that was my biggest complaint and it could be rectified with the sauces (although not my preferred way to get flavor). I wouldn't recommend the tamales. I’ve seen pictures of other peoples food, and I’m unsure exactly why mine seemed to lack the tajin like seasoning on the Elote. I think that could have made it WAY more enjoyable compared to the dusting I got. The service- customers seemed friendly, staff was very friendly. No complaints there!“

“The chicken Tostado w/ black bean, cabbage, pickled red onions, and cheese is heaven! Their hot sauce has a great flavor. The extra hot sauce was just right for me.The pork tamale was delicious; good size and loaded!First time I've ever tried a pineapple tamale. Tastes like dessert!“

“For a while I was boycotting TJFs because our Resturant started getting really cheap on the chips. At one point they stopped including any with the meal and when you purchased them it was not even a full bag. Every 4 or 5 months we would give it another shot but still were disappointed. Last week I was so happy, it was several months since our last order but this time it was the old TJF I remember. Chips were included in meal and the ones we bought were fresh, seasoned, and a good amount. Our food was great and the sauses need no discussion, if you don't know about the sauses you need to get out more. So I am so happy that our Resturant is back on track and doing things right again. I expect we will go there every month for our Mexican meal. Whoever was behind the positive changes, well done. Please continue this swing in the right direction. Take care of your customers and we will be back again and again and again.“
