Great authentic Mexican food. Outdoor seating is available, although it is on a busy road. Service was very good. Excellent choices for drinks, but it did take a bit to get them. The margarita flight included large drinks, so be prepared. Extensive menu with vegan options. Large portions of food delivered warm. Highly recommend. Will be going back! read more

Listen, I came here for a chill night and left in a committed relationship with the Nachos Cabo. We're registered at Target. These nachos don't come to play. They show up stacked like they've got something to prove -- loaded, cheesy, and so generous with toppings that I started making life decisions halfway through. ("Do I really need to go to work tomorrow? Or do I just stay here and live my best nacho-filled life?") Then came the margarita. Sweet but sassy, with just enough tequila to make me feel like texting my ex, but in a classy way. And the service? Absolutely top-tier. Our server was the kind of person who makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first time there--fast, friendly, and somehow always showing up right when you need a refill. Villas Patio didn't just feed me; they gave me a full-on therapy session via tortilla chips, lime, and excellent hospitality. 10/10 would let them emotionally support me again. read more

I forgot to take pictures and I really regret it! I met a friend at this Villa's Patio for lunch today. Sadly, the service was slow, our meals arrived with the wrong meat choice, they corrected the mistake, but the meat was watery and soaked through the tortilla shell, my quesadilla was not fried, but just a flour shell folded over on itself. The sour cream was watered down so much we could pour it out of the bowl. On both orders there was only a tablespoon of cheese and a tablespoon of guacamole. After we took two disappointing bites, we reported that the meal was terrible and the manager took it off our bill. Our meals can best be described as soggy and flavorless. We won't return. read more

Stopped here on a Tuesday for Taco Tuesday. There is a lot of seating in this location (also a Marion location), but we chose to sit at the bar. They have lots of tvs at the bar if you want to watch a game. For happy hour they had buy one get one on all drafts. We were a little disappointed there wasn't a margarita special on Taco Tuesday. Ground beef and shredded chicken tacos (hard or soft shell) are $1. Can't beat those prices. The shredded chicken was really good and I'd recommend. Bar service was great and no complaints. They also accept Meal Pops so I got $5 off. Stop in and check it out! read more

My fiancé and I stopped in for a quick bite. He ordered the chicken and steak burrito and I ordered chicken and steak fajitas. We also enjoyed strawberry margaritas on the rocks and blended which were delicious! The chips that come complimentary were stale but the salsa was wonderful but a little on the spicy side. We ordered guacamole which was delicious. Unfortunately the onions in my fajitas were undercooked. The meat was cooked. Our waiter was polite and attentive. read more

I love the decorations used here it's so pretty! If you're ever around here definitely give it a try it doesn't disappoint! read more

We always get a good meal and tasty margarita at Villa's. Good fajitas, tacos and ceviche!

Better than any Mexican I've ever been too I came before homecoming and I didn't want to leave

Terrible service. Bright wrong food and it was cold. They never brought the right food and I just to get refund. Waiter just ignored us for whole visit read more

Yummy food. We go fairly often and typically have a great experience. I really wish they'd get a better location, that's the drawback.

Went to try a new place for taco Tuesday. Not horribly impressed. The service was slow. Ok short staffed but ok. The foods not bad, but took a long time. Probably will not be back read more

waited about 30 min for an outside seating for 6, which was fine. We love being outside to eat here. Server was pleasant and a good sport with us practicing Spanish with. Barrel margaritas are great, We ordered the Texas fajitas and were allowed to substitute extra chicken instead of beef. However, when the food came, there was beef on the platter. We mentioned it to the food server who took it away immediately and a new correct chicken and shrimp fajita platter was brought sizzling hot, within 5 min. (The previously mentioned platter was not sizzling). Portion sizes were quite ample and tasty. If they had not redeemed themselves with the sizzling hot platter, this review would be 4. read more

We went here on our way to a play, because we heard it was quick, and my mom was craving Mexican food. We hen we got here, however, I was astounded by the polite servers, quick service, and amazing food. Me and my mom shared the chicken fajitas. They were YUM! Five stars. read more

My wife and I visited this Restraunt while Staying in Hiawatha for a few days. My wife not a big mexican food person had a grilled chicken quesadilla, she said it was really good. I went with the El Burro burrito. So this was their take on the California burrito, which is some of the best food I ever put in my mouth. Sorry mom!! It had steak avocato and beans ,covered with queso with fries on the side instead of in it like a California. This burrito was huge and it tasted awesome. The service was also second to none. Thanks Villa Patio for an exceptional experience, read more

Great place for lunch! Haven't had dinner yet but we will! Super great service nice patio seating with amble spacing between tables. Server was busy but very attentive. Serving was large, fresh and flavorful. The only negative was the meat was pretty greasy (you can see in my photo) but still give a strong 5 star! Can't wait to try all their tequilas! read more

Trifecta! Amazing food. Amazing service. Amazing margaritas! We stopped in by happinstance. It was their first day open. Staff was well trained. Food and drinks came out perfect and quickly. So welcoming and gracious. Location has been completely transformed with logos, Cool grays, Stone and agave plant murals. We had the tacos pastor, chorizo and carne, rice, beans, tamale and fries. I know. Who orders fries at a Mexican restaurant? They were a bit soggy. Barrel margaritas simply splendid. There were a lot more varieties. We will be going back very soon to try the hibiscus and other margarita varieties. Also want to try ceviche, carnitas and mochejete. read more

I had heard great things about Villa's Patio from friends so my fiancé and I decided to try it. I'm not the biggest fan of Mexican food so I decided to go with a salad. The crispy chicken salad was delicious. The vegetables in the salad were fresh and the chicken was cooked perfectly. The wait time for food was not too long. I did ask for modifications to my salad and it was not made correctly the first time. Our waitress took my food back and asked the kitchen to remake it without me asking. We also never had our waters refilled. Overall, we enjoyed our time at Villa's Patio and we think they will have great success at this location. read more

Great atmosphere! The patio was completely packed & I was lucky to get a table for two out by the fountain. Happy hour was a success with 2 for 1 draft beers. Great restaurant for date night or drinks with friends. I hope they get heaters for the patio in the colder fall months. read more

Ever see fajitas served that weren't sizzling?? Me neither, until last night. Bummer. We also had Cabo Quesadilla's. Chicken has flavor, but very light on the cheese. The Host/Manager (not sure which) greeted and sat us. No server came, so he took our orders. I had to grab a random waitress for drink refills. I had to get up and grab a ransom waitress for napkins. And finally, waived down a ransom waitress for our bill. Atmosphere was nice, place seemed nice until the service and food. Maybe it's just a start-up................but watch out. read more

Villa's is definitely a favorite! We love their Chicken Grande Fajita quesadilla! It is an ample portion so I always share with my husband. Their guacamole and queso dips are awesome too! We found out they had taco Tuesday and frequent that often! Our favorite waitress is Jessica! She always has a smile and is on top of getting you served! Hard workers are hard to come by these days so hold on to her!! read more

This restaurant is located where the Indian restaurant Paradise Grill used to be located. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and inviting. Really nice bar area. Service was quick and friendly. At lunch time they have a buffet for a reasonable price. I took a look but decided to order off the menu as the buffet choices were rather limited. I order a chimichanga with beef tips. Instead they delivered a chimichanga with ground beef. Not the same! I should have returned it but did not do so. The food was okay. Seems like all the Mexican restaurants in the area taste the same. If you are in the area and want Mexican it is an ok choice. read more

Excellent service, staff are smiling and having fun. Clean restaurant, food and drink amazing!!

We have been to Villas a few times and every time we have enjoyed our experience. Food is great, servers are nice as well as every employee we came into contact with. Most recently we came with a medium size party and the food came out quick. It feels like a family atmosphere and we know the food is always good! read more

We love Mexican food. We love how clean Villas is. I always compliment owners of cleanliness. Clean restrooms and tables let's me know it's a clean kitchen. The margaritas here are great. I'm also a fan of their ranchero sauce on anything. But the fajitas with pineapple are my favorite. The bar here is beautiful and lots of space read more

Some of the best Mexican food in the area! I love the ambience and the wait staff is amazing! One of my favorite places to go for lunch.

Wow! What a great addition to the Fountains! We are long standing customers of Villa's in Marion. This new restaurant is all Villa's in amazing decor and full menu & margaritas! Same great food and quality in a new modern setting! I am pumped! Try these guys out! They're great! read more

Food quality is great. Bar service not so much. I arrive, get drink right away in a plastic cup. Then it falls apart. I had to ask for menu from waitress walking past me. I order food and it arrives 25min later (cold order). Then I am scooping my ceviche with my fingers while bar tender is inattentive. I finally get his attention and at my request I get silverware. I ask for spicy salsa, which they have in house, and I get commercial bottle stuff. In addition I had to ask for chips/salsa while others got it automatically. Final issue was me watching what appeared to be friends or co-workers off duty walking up and getting "instant" total service. Leadership needs to clean up act. I felt discriminated against not being Hispanic and watching at least 10 parties get treatment I did not and were clearly Hispanic (spoke fluent Spanish to bar and appeared to be). I travel the entire country and this is not quality service. read more

The worst local experience and subpar Mexican food in the area. Our waiter was kind, but the order was wrong, we had to ask for silverware multiple times, we had to ask for drink refills, we were charged for something that was brought to us by mistake and would have been thrown away how do we not Kept it, and we were charged more for the wrong order that was originally brought to me than the cost of the actual dish I asked for. The fish tacos were not flavorful, and were dripping with liquid or not put together well. Overall the fajitas and other items we had liked flavor as well. We had been excited to try this place but were highly disappointed. read more

Food was poor. They charged $2 for glass of water, $6.50 for a glass of beer, and had the audacity to charge a 4% surcharge for credit card!

Good service. It was busy, so didn't wait any longer then expected. Nothing was forgotten. Food was good, good margs. Will come back.

We had horrible service and order oysters that were anything but fresh. My husband actually spit his out and we could not eat them. We told our waiter about them but nothing was done about it. read more
