I don't know what happened here. Perhaps the owners are out of town. I really hope it didn't change…read moreowners because everything was noticeably different. The ladies working were not familiar at all. They also were not friendly and helpful. I was pretty sad. It did make me feel like the previous owners were gone bc either one were there. I hope they are still around and eventually when I come back, I can update this review. We ordered the Hawaiian hot dog and the arepa with beef and chicken. Something was missing. Also we ordered two empanadas. I like their green chimmichuri sauce with it, and as soon as I asked for it, she walked away and never came back. Even the pic on the outside sign shows them with that sauce, but nope never got it. They also have their usual Colombian drinks which are Postobon and Colombiana. They are more expensive and smaller sizes. We will definitely take a break from here. Hope the owners that we know and love will be there.

The place was a little dirty and need of repair in the ceilings. Also it was warm inside as there were fans, but the AC wasn't working well. The food was tasty and reasonably priced. The service was kind of slow since there was only one waitress and maybe one cook. They have a bar and dancing at night and a drink menu.

The potato soup is my fav it's so flavorful and delicious also the empanadas are pretty good tooread more

I recently visited and unfortunately it wasn't a great experience for me…read more I ordered the parrilla for two, which was actually enough food for about three people, so the portion size was good. However, the food itself was disappointing. Nothing tasted fresh and it felt like it had been reheated. The drinks were definitely the highlight, the coconut lemonade and the mint lemonade were both really good. The service was okey, but the place also didn't look very clean or well maintained, which affected my overall impression. Overall, I wouldn't come back.

There's also no liquor license now. We were most disappointed by our food. The sauces weren't flavorful at all. My seafood was considerably less as well. We ordered a Pescado Ala macho which I compared pics from before when I ordered it as well. In addition the Tallarin Saltado lacked flavor, was mostly noodles and barely any beef. The server was nice but we could tell the overall experience was not what we once loved.

I decided to get empanadas and arepa instead, recommended by the owner. They were delicious! I wish I hadn't eaten a late lunch or else I would have tried their dinner plates. The owner is a friendly man, taking us about his food and how they have live music there. Since we just missed the live music, he even decided to put on music and sing himself, he was a great singer!

A Delicious Discovery: Authentic Mexican Gem in New Port Richey…read more This weekend, my husband Eriq and I headed up to our favorite Thai spot, only to find it closed. Hangry levels were rising fast, so we pivoted to a nearby Mexican grocery store and market that had been on my radar from glowing reviews. It delivered big time on authentic flavors, generous portions, and warm hospitality. Tucked at the back of the well-stocked Latin grocery store is a casual dining area where you order fresh-made Mexican classics. The menu offers plenty of traditional options and cool protein choices. One of the cooks kindly brought me a little sample cup of their pozole when I asked about it -- tender, falling-off-the-bone pork in a rich broth. Absolute perfection. (She also mentioned their menudo, but I politely passed on that one!) We decided on the tostadas, and wow -- for $13.99 you get three super-crispy house-made tortillas piled high with toppings. I went with two chicken and one steak (which was tender). The chicken was incredibly flavorful and melt-in-your-mouth tender from slow-cooking in spices. Fresh shredded lettuce, cilantro, crumbled cheese, a drizzle of crema, and slices of avocado on top made every bite fantastic. Eriq loved the al pastor version he tried and powered through all three. He also ordered a carnitas taco (which looked excellent, but he ran out of room!). The tortillas held up beautifully under all the toppings -- no crumbling disasters, which is rare and impressive. They brought out two house hot sauces (a smoky red and a vibrant green salsa) that were outstanding, plus ice-cold Mexican sodas made with real cane sugar. Service was friendly and attentive, with staff bringing food out promptly. The whole place felt genuinely authentic (we might have been the only non-Latino folks there, always a great sign), the grocery section was small but well stocked with staples, fresh meats and produce. If you're in the Holiday/NPR area and craving real-deal Mexican food at very reasonable prices, definitely stop in. We'll be back soon -- those tostadas are going to haunt my dreams in the best way possible.

Great food at a fair price. Friendly staff. I will return to try more of the menu. Local family runread more
