Mexican Villa

Been coming here for 39 years. Still fantastic Mexican food. Same owner still works here. :)

Many, many times I’ve gone in with the hopes of Unilocaling. And believe me, mentally I go in prepared.
–Notice ambiance: check
–Order food: check
–Observe staff interaction: check
–Take picture of food: eh… that’s where I completely forget about Unilocal.
My taste buds take over at the excitement of the deliciousness that is Cono Tacos as its set before me and I forget about Unilocal.Tacos are immediately consumed. Usually while I try to finish my 3^rd one, I think to myself ‘I really need to review this place.’ Oh wait, wasn’t that my initial plan?
:insert facepalm:
But I digress. Not sure what it is about these tacos, whether it’s the ice cream cone shape which holds in the last bits of finely ground and amazingly seasoned, hefty amount of meat or just the meat itself, that just so happens to be in held in a cone shape but I love them. I crave them. You say we’re going to Vancouver? I say we hit Mexican Villa!
We always start off with chips, salsa and sour cream, as is customary for a munchie while you decide your order. They come in large plastic condiment bottles and always full and with 2 small cups for dipping.
We’ve never waited an extended time to order or receive our food.
The staff has always been friendly, accommodating and just plain pleasant. We’ve come in a half hour before close while they are prepping as much as they can to close and they have never made us feel unwelcome or uncomfortable.
I’ve had a few other dishes such as the chili rellano, burrito and enchiladas but my go to is always the tacos. There is the eternal ‘patent pending’ sign and I don’t blame them. Patent that sh**! You’ve got a good thing going.
It’s cash only, and gets pretty busy mid day on Saturdays, they aren’t open on Sundays and this place proves that good food can be affordable.
At $ 2.25 (if I remember correctly) a taco, you should at least give them a shot.

SO GOOD! Mexican Villa is delicious and super cheap. Been going there since I was young. Really good food, a nice family owned place. Certainly nothing fancy, but a great spot to stop by for some food.

I love this place. I’ve been coming here since I was a kid. It’s a hole in the wall.
Please get a card reader. I’ve been getting cash back from Chevron for years now just to place my orders.

We’ve been going here for at least 20 years and is our favorite restaurant out of anywhere. And that is saying a lot.
Simple, down home mexican cooking. Chips and salsa are worth the $ 2 or whatever they charge these days. Cash or check only, so be prepared!

Found this little hole in the wall Mexican restaurant on Unilocal.One of the best finds so far. As said before cash only! So stop and pick some up it is totally worth it.
