    Vegan steak and butternut squash quesadilla

    The food was so good. It tasted homemade. Delicious. The staff are so nice and polite. I had plenty of options as a vegetarian. I choose to do half vegan steak and half butternut squash in a quesadilla. Amazing. I'm leaving a good review so I remember to come back.

    Queso
    Kate C.

    The queso was easily 10/10, great flavor and addicting! The chimichanga was good, just a bit on the salty side, even when queso was added. Overall though, I look forward to coming back and trying more!

    The empanada was literally almost empty. One tiny bite of meat/cheese. Don't waste your money.

    The empanadas had almost no filling or flavor. I ordered the steak bowl with refried beans and no rice. It came with black beans AND rice. My Husband's steak burrito was SOOOO greasy. Overall NO flavor, greasy and lack luster. Would be better off ordering from Tijuana Flats or some other chain.

    El Borrito Bowl with half grilled chilled and shredded pork! It's super delicious and tasteful. They also have guacamole and chips... sooooo good and I'll definitely return!!

    Cute spot! Inside a gas station. However, there is room to dine in if you like. Tacos was great! Will be back!

    I stopped here on a whim after seeing one of the locations on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives. It was just meh, nothing special. I can usually tell by the taste of the beans or rice if I'm going to like the food. The rice was crunchy and very dry at lunch time likeundercooked, or overheated. The beans have a very heavy seasoning of cumin, lacking any texture (like pureed baby food) and they are an orange brown color. Refried beans are not normally this Orange. They reminded me of something that comes out of a can, not something homemade and fried with lard. The burrito was huge. But I had only gotten 1/4 of the way through the burrito and had to massively huge chunks of gristle that were inedible. Meat was dry too. Would I return? Nope. Gotta get the beans and rice down for me to enjoy them.

    Huge Grilled chicken Chimichanga with extra cheese (inside) and switched the beans from black to refried and it was Amazing! I'm hooked!

    IMPORTANT (read all) The owner of the gas store that is attached to this place does not believe and agree with the rules that we should be wearing a mask. We were eating peacefully (at a good social distance)and two men came in with no mask and no one said anything. The employees at taco bus are all wearing a mask and taking all the precautions they should but they are stuck with this gas store owner (because taco bus is part of the store) whom doesn't care if he or anyone else gets the C-Virus!! This virus is real and no joke! From word of mouth The owner of this gas store does not clean after anyone and does not use any preventative measure. Please be careful and avoid the gas store if you can! It's sad because Taco Bus food is freaking delicious and this is hurting their business! The grilled chicken chimichanga is Ahhhhmazing! (Huge) Chicken Empanada was delicious Churro was delicious, your standard kind! Elotes was delicious (warning it's spicy) but my girls loved it!

    Taco Bus has finally made its way to Wesley Chapel. With this location being a franchise, I had some reservations that the food quality might not be on par with some of the other locations. One bite of my tofu burrito convinced me otherwise. It was the same chewy tofu, the same spicy red sauce and the same creamy guacamole. The only thing that seemed out of place was the pink tortilla (a breast cancer awareness tortilla I'd imagine). What I love about this location, and Taco Bus in general, is the amount of vegan/vegetarian options they offer. I noticed mushrooms, vegan strip steak and butternut squash as well as the aforementioned tofu as vegetarian fillings available (there were more too, I just cant remember what they were). They also offer vegan cheese. That is something that a lot of taco joints don't touch. So what's not to like about this location? Well, Taco Bus certainly isn't cheap. The wait can be long because, as of right now, there is only one register. There are some self serve kiosks that may alleviate some of the wait when they are up and running. The restaurant is part of a gas station and that limits some of the seating and, like some of the other locations, this one botched my to go order slightly (forgot my side of guac that I had to run back in and wait in line to get). Still, despite some drawbacks, I absolutely love that I can now visit a Taco Bus that is right down the street.

    John LOVES Taco Bus- they have locations in St Pete and Tampa with outdoor seating. The St Pete one is a stationary food truck- and John frequently talks about how he misses going there. When I spotted this location as we were driving by- I didn't notice it was inside a gas station. So... not classy. Not that food truck are- but idk, gas stations are less so. We had to stop for a bite on our way to a concert- and our table was divided on verdict. I ordered a tostada and it was large- 2x the size I am used to and very good. I also ordered their pineapple water- the menu board called it a customer favorite- and I loved it. Wish I could've gotten refills of that! John got the dos tacos and said it was just ok. My sister got a burrito but the rice in it was overdone- she said like it had been the last of the rice cooking since the morning- crunchy, dried out. My mom didn't like the lettuce on her salad and had the rice problem too. The standard- meh~ could've been better fits this right. Shame- I was trying to cheer up John and it just landed flat.

    Good tacos at a reasonable price. Check out Taco Tuesday ($2 Tacos) where all proteins are included except Steak and Seafood options. The chips and salsa were also above average. Neat place located in a gas station (in a bus). What you'd expect from a taco joint. Nothing overwhelming, just consistent.

    This is a must place to go for authentic Mexican food...!…read more Food -- The menu is made up of plenty of mouthwatering options that will satisfy all appetites. Ordered: *Fresh table side guacamole -- This is a must have. Fresh ingredients and the right amount of spices make this a delectable starter. *Fajita Texana -- A trio of steak, chicken and shrimp served with all the sizzling fixings -- plenty of bell peppers, onions, tomatoes. This dish is shareable and incredibly mouthwatering. It's served with rice, beans, pico de gallo, sour cream and tortillas: a perfect pairing for this dish. All fresh with a homestyle taste. *Margaritas -- This staple of a Mexican drink is like no other. Full of flavor, topped with dry edible fruits in a beautifully crafted glass. Service -- Our server was incredible: always courteous, professional and welcoming. Ambiance -- What a delightful and colorful place. Mariachis stop by every table and sign their hearts out; they even accept special song requests. This place is great for celebrations. There were so many birthday celebrations that evening and all were treated with spectacular happiness. Cannot say enough of this place...just that I loved it...! Cannot wait to come back when I am back in Tampa.

It comes with rice, flour tortillas, bean, salsa, and more. Unfortunately the steak chicken is not on the skillet. Overall our experience is good. Love the food.

    Don't you love good surprises? Yeah, me too…read more I'm a long fan of Vallarta's... and had been to most locations-except for two. This was one of them. For some reason, I never seemed to be in the area during margarita hours. That changed on Saturday, when we met up here for a weekend wind-down. It's bigger inside than you think-with a large dining room and a roomy separate bar area. I love the colorful Mexican-inspired tables and the tile on the room divider. There's a fun and festive vibe flowing in here. I'm very familiar with the Vallarta's menu and knew I wanted the cheese dip. You can use the complimentary chips (that come with salsa) for dipping, but I was craving the warm, soft tortillas---totally worth the extra $1.50 for three of them. I could have been full on that, but couldn't resist ordering one of the combos. For $16.95 (as of June 2026), I had a taco (beef/crunchy), an enchilada (cheese with verde sauce) and a chile poblano (no tomato sauce on top). What an amazing mix of flavors and textures-so tasty and filling, I took more than half of it home. That taco was stuffed with well-cooked beef, crunchy fresh lettuce and their yummy white cheese. Divine! The verde sauce had tons of spice and a depth of flavor. And the stuffed and battered poblano was huge! This is a massive value for money... and so satisfying! And the adorable sun shaped lime wedge on the margarita... sensational!!! That's their Instagram moment... and such a fun extra. So, I expected the solid food and fun atmosphere. But the service took this to the next level. Carlos was so accommodating. He really listened-made great suggestions-always picked the perfect moment to check in. He brought a plastic bag with the box for leftovers-and even a container for the remaining queso. His kindness and thoughtfulness is so appreciated-and elevated this experience. Bravo-and thank you. This location is in a bustling strip mall, on the south side of SR 54... just west of Wesley Chapel (the Caribou Coffee Shop is right in front of it-and there's a Trampoline jumping place next door). There's lots of parking-and you guys know how I love that. Can't wait to go back and bring the whole crew with me!

    Pains me to write this, after 15+ years of rave reviews…read more I knew the original owners and still friends with many of the staff (John - Manager, Walter - Chips & others) - I will really miss them! The food quality has gone notably downhill after giving them 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th chances the last 12-18 months... but it's just not good. Taco salads minus the meat, over-cooked/under-seasoned chicken fajitas and rubbery Chile rellenos (today!) - Too long under the broiler....there wasn't even 1 good bite. The chips are good, but they were out of Modelo Especial three times of the last 4 visits, so I can't even say the beer is good. Sadly I don't think I'll give it a 6th chance and move on. RIP Luis - You wouldn't recognize the place :(

    Chuy's has officially become part of our Silver Springs tradition. Whenever we're heading back…read morehome to Tampa after spending the day floating down the river in Ocala, if we're coming this way, we get excited knowing we can stop at Chuy's for some food and drinks before finishing the drive home. Yes, Chuy's is a chain, but if you're thinking typical chain-restaurant Tex-Mex, I personally think it's much better than that. I almost ALWAYS order the King's Memorial combo because for around $18, the amount of food you get is ridiculous--in the best way. You get a crispy taco, three enchiladas (cheese, beef AND chicken), Mexican rice and refried beans, plus crispy chips underneath the taco covered in that creamy queso. It hits the spot every single time, and I ALWAYS have leftovers. Little piece of advice: EAT THE TACO FIRST. Crispy tacos deserve to be enjoyed fresh and crunchy. They are not tomorrow's problem. My friend usually gets one of the burrito combos, which comes with a HUGE burrito, Mexican rice and black beans. She loves hers and usually ends up taking leftovers home too. I've also sampled enough food from other people's plates over the years to say I haven't really found anything here that I dislike. The fajitas are delicious, the margaritas are decent, and the prices are reasonable for the portions. Now let's talk about those complimentary chips and dips. We call the creamy one the "crack sauce." If you know, YOU KNOW. It comes out with the chips and salsa, and we literally have to make ourselves stop eating the chips because we want to save some of that creamy sauce for our actual meals. On our most recent visit, we sat on the bar side and had Ian taking care of us. He was friendly, respectful, quick with everything and checked in to make sure we were good. He even brought us some extra dipping sauce, which absolutely earned him bonus points with us. His name also happened to stick with me for a personal reason, so I definitely wanted to make sure he got his shout-out. The restaurant itself is super cute inside, and although we usually gravitate toward the bar side, the entire place has a fun atmosphere. Our service over multiple visits has consistently been good--20%-tip-worthy good--and the staff is usually pleasant and helpful. There are A LOT of restaurants to choose from in this area, especially if you're already over here shopping, so I know picking somewhere can get overwhelming. But if you like Tex-Mex and you've driven past Chuy's thinking, "Hmm... I wonder if that place is any good?" I definitely recommend stopping in at least once. If you hate it, I'm sorry. If you love it... you're welcome. We'll absolutely be back the next time our Silver Springs adventures bring us through Lutz!

    My two favorite things at Chuy's are the crack sauce and their queso both are just addicting. I…read morenormally get the Carbone steak tacos and I had the queso on the side.

I got the #30 combo lunch with a tamale, guacamole tostada and a taco (but upgraded to a carne asada street taco). Mostly everything lacked flavor - carne asada had some but would have been petter with lime and everything would have been better with some salsa (not the stuff with the chips). The tostada was unflavored refried beans, unflavored ground beef, iceberg...you get the point. The tamale had a red sauce on it (still no flavor) and a scoop of ground beef on it? Not sure why. Also odd...the other guests plates were only what they ordered. So you ordered a burrito? That's all you got. None of the rice and beans and "salad". But it wasn't listed on the menu either. Like I said, the skinny margarita was good though (better than the regular); place was very clean and staff were quick and nice.
