The quality of the food is excellent but the owners of the place or a bunch of crooks. If you don't…read morespeak Spanish they will take advantage of you. The prices go up magically. It seems like they make up some prices as they go depending on how you look. Also they don't give you an itemized receipt so you can't see what each individual item costs. If you ask for something even a little different from the standard menu offerings, you will leave the store a lot poorer than when you came in. I have seen and heard the husband and wife conversing with each other in Spanish about my order and I know enough to understand that one is telling the other to bump the price up for the gringo. I pretend that I am totally ignorant of Spanish.

This is a little hole in the wall Latino grocery store with a hot foods counter where you can…read morecreate your own plate combination and take it to go. Super cheap, friendly employees, and whatever you order is going to be fresh, hot and delicious. The owners are Dominican but the food is a combinaton of Dominican, PuertoRican and Cuban. Cuban sandwich - awesome. Steak sandwich - awesome. Cuerito (crunchy greasy pork skin) - awesome. My favorite combinations: Steak and onions (bistec encebollado), yellow rice with pigeon peas (arroz con gandules), and yucca en escabechi (yucca with onions & peppers in warm vinaigrette). Or go full-blown PuertoRican and get Roast pork with mojo (pernil con mojito), yellow rice (arroz amarillo), stewed red beans with pumpkin (habichuelas rojas con calabaza), and sweet plantains (maduros). Another good one is Mofongo. This is a big ball of mashed garlic green plantains and you can top it off with your choice of meat. The best way to eat Mofongo is by topping it with a big ladle full of Carne Guisada (beef stew) or Bistec encebollado (Steak and onions - and ask them to scoop up the pan juices from the bottom to put on your mofongo too!). If you have never tried Latin food, or you have but were never really impressed by it, go here. If you are unfamiliar with the menu and don't know how to order, then try one of my recommendations. You can't go wrong.

Wow! Couldn't have been more impressed! Bought bacon, chops, sausages, a slab of beef liver ( don't…read morejudge, I'm severely anemic) and some Old Florida Tortilla Chips ( my favorite). These guys put out a top quality product, and the service was unbelievably fast and friendly, especially on a very busy Saturday! I heard they were going to open another location closer to us! I hope I heard correctly. As it is, they're an hour away from us. I will say, every time we're in the area, we will be stopping to stock up! TEN STARS!!!

It's a small shop but they offer a lot of great choices. If you can't find what you want here you probably won't find it. We got a 4 pack of sirloins and they were very reasonable and the flavor was amazing. We cook ours medium rare and they were so tender you could cut them with a fork. We will be back for sure to try out some other cuts and meats.

Lights are low, dark wood, dark blue seating.... Totally different than other Village Square restaurants I've been too. In my opinion, the quietness inside is just wonderful for a change. We were served by Jack. My husband and I both appreciated his quiet friendly grace. He served a rather high maintenance table behind us with such patience, it was amazing to hear . No we weren't eavesdropping, they were being ridiculous. Anyhoo, we both got the spicy shrimp pad Thai and the spicy level was perfect. Hot enough to make me lightly sputter but just once. . My husband said, I could go back there again while I had already planned on what I'd like to try next time.

Food continues to be good at Thai Ruby. It's our only option for Thai in the Villages,…read moreunfortunately. My three star rating has to do with the ever increasing prices and ever decreasing menu options and ingredients. They used to have some good vegetarian appetizers like summer rolls, but those disappeared from the menu. Thai Ruby has done this ever since COVID and it's absurd. I was shocked to get two lunch items that jumped from the $18 menu price to $22 just for adding vegetables. That's over $50 for lunch, which is not ok in any reality. If we were people who didn't leave the bubble, I suppose we'd put up with this. Since we travel quite frequently, however, we will save our craving for Thai food for elsewhere. Why don't other Thai restaurants open somewhere close? There's definitely a market for them. If I choose to eat here, I'll limit it to their defined lunch items only.

Starved .... I showed up at 11:15 AM craving Huevos Rancheros and found out they'd cut off breakfast at 11 AM. I get that restaurants have systems, but La Hacienda is in the perfect position to serve breakfast ALL day. Shift workers need breakfast all day. Truckers eat at weird times and also need breakfast all day. Nurses finishing graveyard shifts still need breakfast all day. The food quality and value here are genuinely unbeatable, which makes this so frustrating. So what's the deal with the arbitrary cutoff???? Why can't eggs be served all day? I've never understood this.
