Wow what a shockingly great surprise. Their food offers deep flavor's especially the rojo sauce. I had the flautas, note they are not deep fried but pan fried but still delicious. The shredded chicken is moist full flavored. My husband had the enchiladas, both the shredded beef rojo sauce and the beef one with the rancheros sauce and it both were delicious. They're a small neighborhood one of a kind small family restaurant Mom and pop. Our server shared they've been in business about 25 years and that everything in hand made. read more

Los Chicos - Los chicios Mexican restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Zephyrhills, Florida

Quaint "hole in the wall" joint inside but a full deck out back. Stopped in coming back from the Renaissance Faire. I enjoyed the enchiladas with chicken and their beans and rice were the best I've had right now, beat out another joint I venture! I'm not sure what sauce was on the enchiladas but it was deliciously sweet and wanted more! Will definitely be coming back. read more

This was our third visit to this restaurant. It's not easy to find as it's a couple of blocks off main highway in a residential area. It has never been busy on any of our visits but today we entered and just stood there for quite some time with no one to greet or seat us. Finally grabbed menu's and seated ourselves. However, once seated our server came from the back area, apologized and quickly got our drinks, chips and salsa. I ordered the lunch chimichanga and my sister the chicken & cheese nachos. She opted for a 1/2 order and it was plenty. Food came out quickly and served hot. Portions were adequate and food was tasty. Cute, quaint decor. Nothing fancy but cozy. read more

THIS is one of those reviews I do NOT like to have to write. BUT, if we don't write honestly, then what's the point? Let me start off by saying that we've eaten at this place for a lot of years. My family has had celebrations here. I've taken my now grown kids here often. I walked in just after noon, on a rare solo dine. There were only 3 tables taken up, not busy at all. THE SERVICE. The hostess was business-like, not very welcoming. She was also to be my server. During the entire service, she was barely hospitable. She NEVER stopped in to see how my food was. The closest I got to a smile was when she asked me twice if I wanted dessert. Funny, because I watched her interact in a much friendlier way with 2 other sets of diners, who I'd say are 'regulars'. THE ORDER. I ordered the Lunch Chimichanga, for $11.95. I asked for chicken inside. The server/hostess asked if I wanted green sauce? I said I usually get that luscious white queso sauce. She advised that would be a $2 UPCHARGE. (WHAT?? Aw, c'mon!). For me, a Chimichanga ain't right without that white queso sauce so I begrudgingly said okay to that ridiculous 2 dollar upcharge. THE FOOD. NOTHING like I've ever experienced at this location! The flavors were oddly muted, like they wanted to come out but couldn't. The small amount of guacamole was watery and tasteless. The portions were a lot smaller than what I've ever had here. And that 2 DOLLAR UPCHARGE white queso? Very thin consistency with about a 1% taste. A total waste! THE FINAL WORD. Based on this experience, PLUS some of the other reviews, I'm done. As Zephyrhills is growing, so are the opportunities for ever-better cuisine. I count Los Chicos now as a FAIL. read more

Chips and salsa were good. Chips were warm and mild and hot salsa was not too spicy. Food was very hot and was made quickly. My son enjoyed his cheese quesadilla with curly fries. Good music and I love all the bright colors. read more

As always a great meal at me and my son's favorite restaurants. Had our usual sizzling steak skillet but this time went half and half with chicken...this is our new favorite, chicken was super moist and tender. We're not huge eaters so I get an extra half side of rice and beans and two (3pc) orders of tortillas and bam 2-3 more dinners for the two of us. Our total bill $23.49 which included a bud light and large root beer. Can't beat that... read more

Amazing food. I had the chimichanga with the mole sauce. Out of this world.!! There salsa is fresh and delicious

The food was absolutely amazing!!! It was hot and fresh, seasoned to perfection. The customer service was great, all the ladies were very helpful and informative. I'll definitely be back again. read more

Place doesn't look all the great from outside, don't know about anything else but my folks had the quesadilla, dad had the chimichanga and I had the burrito. First of all the burrito was more like a taquito because it was as big as my pointer finger. Like I'm pretty sure a Taco Bell taco has more food in it. Dad wasn't satisfied with his food and mom said she could definitely make it better at home. The food is over priced and nothing except the music is authentic. But nothing else is. Sorry not sorry read more

I've eaten there many times. I've never had a bad meal . The taste of the enchiladas are great the salsa is great but Give me the hot salsa . I enjoy eating here. I've not had a problem as of yet. And the service has been good read more

Food used to be very tasty and reasonably priced. Until my recent visit, I had not been there for a couple of years. The prices are much higher and the quality is not there. Slow service and incorrect order sealed the deal. Would NOT RECOMMEND. read more

We drive from Tampa To Z'hills for the chimichanga with a sweet mole sauce . Always great service, the staff is kind and courteous. Today I witnessed an even bigger act of kindness. A local older gentleman came in, carrying a paper cup from another establishment. Our server greeted him, "I've not seen you in awhile". He sat, said he hadn't been well. She got him a plate of rice and beans. He says he needs to leave. She got him a to-go container and wished him well. No she did not charge him her kindness may be the difference on his day read more

Went with a large group for lunch today. Delicious lunch. I had the Burrito Ranchero. Great flavor. Excellent service.

They have the best salsa of any Mexican restaurant I've ever had it is so fresh and delicious you could make an entire meal on just chips and salsa. Best little Mexican restaurant in town read more

This place always has great food, friendly personal, n they r quick with getting u ur food to eat

Sorry to say but not only myself but, everyone at our table said Worse Mexican food Ever!! Tasteless, my taco salad was sitting in 1/2 cup liquid. More like a soup. Posted picture. Others said bland, hospital food is better, no spices, n served cold. Service was terrible also, served our food had ask twice for silverware. Drinks never refreshed, or the salsa n chips. Cherry on top checked my bill n was charged $5.49 over what it should have been. They did correct it. Last time they'll see any of us. read more

Los Chicos - Was more like taco soup then taco salad. Terrible didn't have any taste. - Mexican Near Me - Zephyrhills, Florida

This has been my go-to Mexican food for over 15 years. Service was always good by long term servers. However, food has become inedible and service is terrible. I am finally cutting the cord. Feels like a loss of a loved one lol. read more

This place makes cruise ship bathrooms look big. I think there are seven or eight tables in the whole 500 sq ft place BUT what they lack in space they make up for in ah-ma-zing mexican food. Cheesy, beeny, beefy (or chickeny or veggie if that's what you prefer) and melded together inside a warm tortilla. We can't eat here everyday but we go as often as possible. We've had the floutas, enchiladas, burritos, guacamole salad, flan and chicken soup which were all fresh and a delight to eat. The staff don't all speak English but knowing Espanol is not a requirement of stopping by. Our waitress has always been easy to communicate with and the rest of the staff give us big smiles and we talk in the universal language of laughter and wolfing down our food. As I mentioned, tiny place, but adorable and covered in murals of beautiful senoritas in the dessert sun. The table tops are Mexican blankets with acrylic covers and sombreros hang on the windows. Outside there are only a few parking spots and the place looks like somewhere you'd hitch up your horse until the wagons are ready to leave again. Bottom line, you'll feel like you're in the middle of nowhere but just order and then thank me. You've found a hidden gem and won't be sorry. read more

This restaurant used to be called El Panchos Villa. They got a new name and a new location, but the food is still the very best Mexican food in Zephyrhills, and one of the best in the entire Tampabay area. I do not know the owners family history, but at one time, their family had many restaurants around the Central Florida area. I do not know the particular spices they infuse their food with, but once you have had it, you will always recognize it. My wife and I stopped at a Restaurant on the way to Orlando one time, and we knew as soon as we walked in, that it was owned by one of their family members. It's that distinctive. When we lived in New Tampa, we would go up to San Antonio to Pancho's Villa Mexican Restaurant. After we moved to Plant City, it was just too far of a drive just for dinner more then occasionally. We were both glad when the El Panchos Villa opened in Zephyrhills. Then it closed, and we didn't realize that this new place was the same people. Glad we found out. Some of the things that always stand out, are their refried beans. Like all their food, they have a very savory smokey flavor that is delicious. You can tell these beans were made with love. They have simply the best salsa of any Mexican place I have ever tried. My wife and I get the mild (we are wimps I know), but it is so fresh with the tiniest hint of spice. We have both literally eaten it with a spoon. We never leave without getting some to take home to eat with chips or to cook with. My favorite dish is the shredded beef enchiladas. I almost always get that, but the fajita's are amazing too. My wife loves a cactus and pork dish with Verde sauce that they make, but it's very spicy. I have seen her eat it with tears and sweat running down her cheeks, but she keeps eating it because she says it tastes so good. I can't imagine you eating here and not liking it. read more

I'm starting to think Zephyrhills is the best place to build foodie havens: low rent, few chains, and plenty of parking. Los Chicos certainly deserves a spot on any foodie's Zephyrhills list. Their nopales con huevo lunch is under $7, vegetarian (I'm not asking how the beans and rice were cooked), and delicious. And there are outlets at many booths for you to recharge your Yelping devices. We had no trouble finding parking, even shortly after noon on a Sunday, and the lunch specials run on the weekend as well. There were five different hot sauces to choose from, though I preferred the cilantro-rich fresh salsa brought to the table when we arrived. Since Stephanie D. mentioned roughly how much seating there is, I counted. I saw 9 booths and 5 tables. Definitely. read more

We weren't sure if we wanted to stay when we first pulled up... The place is incredibly tiny. Seriously, I don't think I've ever seen a smaller sit down restaurant. When we got inside, we were greeted and served promptly, the customer service was wonderful, and it was cute and cozy inside. It actually didn't feel as small as it looks once you get seated. The food was amazing, we started with chips and cheese dip, and the cook actually brought out a few samples of cheese to choose from. Definitely get the white. I had the lunch combo, enchilada and burrito. It was a decent amount of good, tasted perfect, and came with plenty of extra beans and cheese for scooping with the extra tortilla chips. We will definitely be back often. read more

First time trying here heard some good things, food has limited flavor, tried the three combo all three items tasted the same. A little sweet flavor, nothing significant. We only saw our server three times to take our order deliver our food and bring our check Probably will not be here again. read more

If I could give this place ZERO stars I would. This is not Mexican food. This is absolute garbage. I've been eating Mexican food for years and this is straight garbage. I called to complain and they REFUSED to do anything about it. This is what you get. My next call is to the health department. Do not go there as you will be extremely disappointed!!! read more

Delicious food and friendly people though I do warn I have found a hair in my food every time I've gone. They were always quick to replace it though read more

Food was ok. Had the shrimp fajitas, 6 shrimp and a bunch of onions, peppers and tomatoes however it was really sweet not sure why. Also the fajita was to hot to eat. It burnt our mouths. Charge extra for more chips and salsa. Service was not all that great. Had to ask for silverware and then that took awhile to get. All stomachs did not agree with food. Will more then likely not go back. read more

Watch out for their 10% discount for cash. It is not well posted and they "forgot" to give it to me until I inquired. Needles to say, I did not view it as an honest mistake. read more

I've been to Mexico, New Mexico, Texas, California and of course where I live Florida. This is hands-down the best Mexican food I've ever had in my entire life and everybody I bring here says the same thing to me. read more

The food was delicious, we had beef burritos and chicken chimichanga, loved their enchilada sauce which was more of a mole sauce than a red sauce. Service was good and servers were very friendly and helpful read more

Absolutely delicious and decently priced! Walk in and see a seat yourself sign so we took a seat at a two top towards the back and within a minute jasmine came over to take our drink order. I got the Ranchero Chicken Burrito and asked for no lettuce. When I got my food, lettuce was there but on the side so I didn't complain. Guacamole wasn't really good either. But the burrito itself, refried beans, and rice was delicious! This place also has a really nice vibe to it. Seems clean and workers seem to work well with each other. Michelle and Jasmine were running around like crazy and all the customers were satisfied! read more

Great local Mexican Restaurant with a bit of a Cantina feel and very tasty and varied menu. Always Excellent service no matter how busy.

Overall, this is one of the better restaurants in town. We lived near downtown Zephyrhills for several years and there are not a lot of choices in that part of town. There are several restaurants that I hated, only one that I really loved and a couple that I liked. Los Chicos fits into the "I like it" category. Immediately you will notice that the service is great. They are very friendly. Of course drinking a pitcher of their margaritas will make you love anyone! The food comes out fast but can be hit or miss. Somethings are fantastic, some things are not, but nothing is bad. I recommend a burrito over the tacos. The prices are very reasonable. read more

I was in Florida on vacation a few months ago and was visiting my parents. I was craving Mexican so I found this place in Zephyrhills. A group of about 6 of us came here as it had better reviews than other Mexican places in the area. The services was okay.....the food was good. But what stunned me is that they charge $1 for a chips/salsa refill. I mean, really?? Who does that!? The certainly cost them a star or two in my review. I'd probably go back here for dinner as the food wasn't bad. But I think it's ridiculous to charge for chip refills. read more

Just finished a bad meal here. We've come here before and had good food and service. Tonight service was lousy and food not good although they did acknowledge responsibility for bad service and gave us half off. Crispy tacos were so soggy I couldn't eat the second one. Won't be back. read more

Had lunch, enchilada and burrito. Sauce on enchilada is a little on the sweet side. Salsa is not bad, could be more hot for my taste. I thought the plate could use a little more beans and rice. Overall ok read more

Great food, great prices, great service! Another small, casual, hole in the wall place that I love! We eat there on a regular basis. Not too many tables, but they have enclosed and air-conditioned their porch which adds additional seating. Plus there are a couple of large tables on the porch to accommodate larger parties. They usually have margaritas 2 for $5 which are delish! My favorite meal is the chimichanga but everything I've ever had there is good. Plus their homemade (complimentary) chips & salsa are the best! Try this place out! read more

Found this place when I went to buy my car very awesome food and great service. I will be making a trip from Tampa to come get food here again. Soooo good. Try it out you won't regret it. read more

This is the BEST Mexican restaurant in the entire area of Zephyrhills or Dade City! The food is authentic Mexican cuisine, cooked fresh to order, with good portion sizes. I could make a meal out of just the refried beans and rice because they're soooo good! If you get a chance, you've got to give them a try, you won't be disappointed!! read more

For Z-hills this is a nice joint. Food and service were very good. I would return.
