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 a beef burrito this time with the queso on top. It was delicious. We sat at the bar so the service was great. I believe it was Ian's first day by himself and he did a good job. He made me a really nice raspberry margarita on the rocks. This is definitely my favorite Tex-Mex place to come to.

You can order there but ordering online is easy as well. The food is always ready on time or earlier. They pack up your order with care and you can choose sauces when you pick up. I personally love their steak burrito, it is large and very filling. The ingredients are great quality as well. The staff is always friendly and provide your order as quickly as possible. There is a cute setup with tents, lights, and music if you'd like to sit & relax while you eat. Highly recommend!

We went to Don Julio's Authentic Mexican Cuisine in Lutz to satisfy our craving for Mexican food,…read moreand overall, the food was really good. We ordered the Burrito Don Julio, which came with steak, beans, melted cheese, and Mexican rice, along with chips, pico de gallo, and sour cream. We also tried the molcajete, which came with shrimp, chicken, and steak. Both dishes were flavorful and enjoyable, and we would definitely order the food again. We also ordered the Mexican Manhattan made with Don Julio. Unfortunately, it wasn't very impressive, especially considering the price point. The biggest downside was the service. The restaurant was busy but not packed, yet service was pretty slow, and we had a hard time getting drink refills.

The staff is friendly and I always have a great service anytime I visit. I normally don't eat much but I have tried their tacos and quesadillas which are pretty good. Drinks are the only thing that are hit or miss with the house margarita. Some days are stronger than others. Overall a good place to check out anytime you're in the mood for Mexican in this area.

First time coming and I am VERY satisfied with my meal!…read more I got the 4 enchilada meal; beef, chicken, beans and cheese. Very good! Wish we got queso with the side of chips but I didn't know we got any chips at all lol We ordered delivery and the bag spilled in the car but we aren't holding that against them. We actually offered to give them Clorox and paper towels to clean the mess. Though the ones who packaged it should've kept maybe 3 or 2 boxes to a bag or the drivers should've put the bag on the floor so it didn't tip. ‍ BUT one of our orders was wrong. My mom ordered a chimichanga and got quesadillas. Hm be a little more attentive to orders and how they are delivered maybe. Otherwise keep it up Cantina!

Our experiences with Cantina had been pretty neutral/positive up until today. We'd order to go on…read moreUberEats and pick it up. They stapled the bag shut, and we didn't have a problem until I realized we didn't have the chicken tacos. I drove back to show them the receipt (maybe they just forgot to pack it). I understand the reticence with saying someone didn't get everything, people lie, and no, it didn't occur to me to open the bag in front of them. Lesson learned, but it sucks we're out money, and their reason had been they'll remake it and they'll be out money. This was more trouble than it was worth, and this has left a bad taste in my mouth (we really liked the food here). I doubt losing our business will matter much since they have other customers. I was told to bring the food back (we'd already started eating so why would I have brought it back, and it would've just looked like we ate it when we never got it) so they could see. So yeah, lesson learned. I don't know what to say about their restaurant policy -- I'm sure someone will say I should have called. I attached my husband's order.

I was a big fan of the OG Capital Tacos. When the expansion happened, the quality suffered and I…read moredidn't go anymore. Now those days are gone, and the OG is back! The menu still has some familiar favorites, and they are fantastic. We ordered chips and queso, four tacos, a burrito and a few sauces. I had the MC yum yum burrito with beans and rice inside and added green salsa and poblano ranch. Fire!! I'm already craving another one. A few things I wish for- the physical menu copies need a lot more description . I don't know off the top of my head what's in an Austinite so I have to take up time at the kiosk looking up each variation. Also, the seating inside is not welcoming like it used to be. Other than that, we can't wait to return!

I was disappointed when I saw that the Capital Tacos in Wesley Chapel closed its doors permanently…read more I was initially excited when I learned that the Land O'Lakes location was still open. When they're firing on all cylinders the food from Capital Tacos is so good. Unfortunately I've experienced problems multiple times from here. I called recently because I was frustrated that twice in a row I had ordered the ground beast nachos and my order was incorrect. The order clearly states "black beans & NO mexican rice" but I received no black beans. I wasn't trying to get anything for free and just wanted to let the kitchen know they were making orders incorrectly. The black beans are a main reason why I get this dish so it's incredibly frustrating for this to keep happening. Everything seemed fine because the next two times I ordered it my order was correct. But once again the exact same thing happened to me: no black beans. The quality of the chips you get also varies wildly. Sometimes they're perfect and delicious but more than once I've received burnt chips that were awful. It's expensive to get delivery from here and I'm not going to do it any more but hopefully they can fix these issues for their other customers.

Honestly, for as much as some people rave about this place, it's nothing super special? It's good…read more The food is tasty. The prices are a little high for what you get and the flavors were a bit bland. Bonus points for being one of the few left that still brings chips and salsa to the table for free. Y'all know I judge a Mexican place primarily on its salsa and their salsa is GOOD! You can see the chunks of fresh veggies which is always nice. The service was okay, not amazing, but nothing worth complaining about. I guess if I were a drinker it would be even better because those mixed drinks look gorgeous and were coming out left and right but that's just not usually my vibe. Would definitely come back but not as my first choice.

Really enjoyed San Jose! Was CRAVING Mexican food specially some fajitas and these were delish…read more Ordered from them on DoorDash and the food arrived promptly and the food was still nice and hot! Came with all the fixings probably didn't even need the additional side of pico but everything was very tasty, fresh & everything was made / packed with care. My only compliant is they should give you 1-3 more tortillas bc there weren't enough with the amount of food you get. Such large portions but more tortillas are needed! Next time I'm back I definitely want to go here in person bc I really enjoyed take out from here. But 10/10, I'd highly recommend ordering Mexican from here! You surely won't be disappointed.

So I would give the drinks a 4 and the food a 2. But the people I were with really enjoyed their…read morefood. 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.

Stopped in here for lunch with the family and was pleasantly surprised! I've driven past this spot…read moreso many times and we decided to finally give it a try - it wasn't very busy so there was no wait to be seated and our server was nice and welcoming. The chips and salsa are good - the chips were fresh and the salsa had good flavor. I had the shredded beef chimichanga for lunch - the cheese sauce on the chimichanga was really tasty and they put a generous amount on there, I really enjoyed the flavor of the shredded beef as well, would definitely order it again. My kids had the chicken ranch quesadilla and the kids chicken tenders and they both devoured their plates, so I'll take that as both of their dishes were delicious as well. The food came out quickly and our server stopped in and checked on us just the right amount of times. The exterior of the restaurant looks like a big red barn, and the inside was much nicer than I anticipated. There's some cute decor and neon signs with catchy phrases - there's booth seating as well as normal tables and it's very open and spacious inside. Good food and a good atmosphere, would visit again.

Very disappointing experience at Vallarta's Mexican Restaurant…read more The service was poor and extremely slow. We ordered skinny margaritas, but they were so overwhelmingly sweet that we could barely take two sips. We also ordered nachos that never arrived. Eventually, our server admitted that they had forgotten to place the order. The chicken fajitas were another major disappointment. The portion and quality of the chicken were pathetic, it honestly looked like scraps. The photo speaks for itself. On top of that, the food was excessively salty. Between the slow service, forgotten order, undrinkable margaritas, and disappointing food, this was a terrible experience from start to finish. Unfortunately, we will not be going back.
