    Hidden gem right on the other side of the Spanish Springs bridge. Good things are on the other side of the rainbow! Great, authentic Mexican food! Flavors transport you to Mexico. Reina was very attentive. You have to try this hidden gem! Specials on Monday through Wednesday!

    The wall is half painted, and the ceiling paint is all over the wall

    It's hard for me to believe that the Board of Health has not closed this place. The exterior for the most part is questionable although they have a lovely porch. The food was decent. The service was subpar. When I sat down, there was pain in my legs from the damage to the vinyl chair. Honestly, the maintenance here is a disgrace.

    This is a pretty messy and dirty restaurant. The floors were sticky, disgusting and covered in random pieces of food, napkins, and empty straws on the floor. There are dirty napkins, dirty salsa bowl with a fly in it, a dirty butter knife left out, and ants right next to the open window thing im sitting next to. The food looks like they might have microwaved it because my plate was so hot but the food was lukewarm. Both me and my partners food tasted off and some parts definitely didn't taste fresh. It looks like they grabbed that simple salad bag from the back that was in left for awhile. The bathrooms are really disgusting also looks like they don't try to keep it clean. This place is mediocre at best.if you want to go to a authentic delicious tasting Mexican place don't bother with this place.

    Best fajitas anywhere! Decor is spot on. Great service. Lunch menu is a great value. Dos Equis draft -- cold and great with the fajitas!

    Blondies is an outside bar with patio seating . Simple menu. Easy to hear the town square band, yet…read moretalk to others at the same time. The bar was super clean, the bartender was very efficient and friendly . Like the town square beverage stations, there are no restrooms here. However the nearest restroom is very close. You'll survive.

    Omg! Gorgeous setting. Lovely decor. Adjacent to the square so you can hear the music. We…read morenearly ran up with eager anticipation of this new seemingly more "upscale" venue. Guess what the wine choices were? Red, white (Chardonnay), pink - ALL only by the horrendous $3/bottle Copper Ridge! Are you serious? How would you not offer at least one upscale choice as well? And, their "food" menu is an only an extension of the bar huts on the square plus movie theatre popcorn crap or Publux check-out choices. Villages family, we saw you on your little video touting the opening of this place in honor of the family matriarch. You have billions of dollars. You fit in private planes. You have Presidential candidates coming here for support. Do you actually like going out to places with crappy wine choices and bagged genetically modified food choices? You guys continue to disappoint at every turn. Each opportunity to make the Villages better fails on its face leaving the Villages in the dust for what younger sophisticated homeowners want in a neighborhood - unless you are catering to the Central Florida locals who love their fried gator bites. Spanish Springs now has 3 empty restaurant spaces, which is a travesty. The Villages needs to focus on all the vacancies in all the Squares and give us better options and choices to make us want to frequent your establishments versus driving away to experience normal life in 2024 at places that offer great wine, interesting food and fabulous vibes. Head to Tavares or Mount Dora instead.
