  • In today's video, we were in Missouri and wanted to eat at our favorite Mexican restaurant in Springfield, MO called Mexcian Villa. It is one of the things we miss most about Missouri! We were able to head back and we had to do a restaurant review. Mexican Villa is very popular in Springfield, Missouri. The kicker is that a lot of people either really love it or really hate it and we really love it! It has been a place we have visited for a long time. We enjoy the food! They have remodeled since the last time we have been. We loaded up on the cheese dip, salsa, enchiladas, and tacos and we were so full after it all. Mexican Villa has amazing Coke. It’s top notch! There are 7 locations and no other locations outside of that area. However, if you are ever looking for a Mexican restaurant in Springfield, MO, check out Mexican Villa!
    Stay tuned for another video coming soon. Thanks so much for watching! God Bless!!!

    My wife and I ate there on your honeymoon 44 years ago, it was great then don’t live in Springfield but need to go back and eat at Mexican villa for sure! The original was on National I think that is where we always went,was there for our 30 year anniversary and had that same waitress! Sorry now thinking about it was on Sunshine just off National.

      Mixing the hot sauce with the sweet is the play. If to hot add sweet or vice versa.

    Speaking of Mexican food, have you been to Latinos Y Mas in Ocala, FL? If not you should try it. It’s more of a Latin fusion place that also has some Mexican dishes!

      Don’t think we have done that one yet so we will have to try it! Thank you for the suggestion!

    While in college (now MSU) we used to go to the one on National. A cockroach ran across the table, which everybody thought was hilarious (that was in the 1980s though and I'm sure they have improved their hygeine by now, hopefully.) Maybe the Coke is from Mexico. They use a different kind of sugar there.

    Looks dope. I don’t know that I’ve seen a Mexican place in business since 1951. We have one here in my area that was the first one around and that was in the late 60s

      Yes, since the recipe was developed there by Mr. Leong.

    Have to try Habanero’s next time you’re there. It’s better. Mexican Villa was the best when there was nothing else but Springfield has built great options.

      Interesting! For us, we are definitely biased on the fact that we ate at Mexican Villa a lot and it holds a special place for us! Hard to pass up now that we don’t go up there very often. However, will have to try that sometime so thanks for sharing!

      I'm sure that wasn't the only thing you ate that day and food poisoning can wait up to 36hrs to hit. Don't assume.
