Villa Grande

We had a very good meal at Villa Grande. The service was very good, fast and friendly. My wife and I ordered the large margaritas to start. They are pretty huge so a small would have been fine. She got the frozen, I got the house. Both were good.The chips and salsa were the only let down of the meal. The chips were thin and lacked salt. The salsa was pretty bland, heavy on tomato and no spice/heat.My wife had the tamale dinner. This was two moderate sized tamales that she thinks was beef but wasn't sure. They were covered with chile con carne. She liked them.I got the shrimp tacos on corn tortillas. This was 4 small tacos. They were good but I thought the cheese, spinach and chipotle sauce overwhelmed the shrimp. The avocado sauce on the side was very good and had some spice. The charro beans were excellent, very soupy and flavorful.We finished with an order of flan. It had a great flavor but the texture was a little firm, could have been more creamy. It was big serving, plenty for 2 to share.Our bill was about $60, which was reasonable for the meal. We don't live in Denton so can't compare to other places but we liked our meal. Good choice if you're looking for Tex-Mex in Denton.

Beautiful restaurant- I have gotten to go orders multiple times and sat in once.The staff is always super friendly. Our waiter on the date we dined in was fantastic.My favorite dish there is the chicken tortilla soup. On the days I took out it was perfect but most recently when I sat in- it was way too salty. Can't wait to come back again

I did not get a chance to try the food. I went in on a Saturday afternoon around 3pm. We were sat outside as requested and were the only party out there. After about 5 mins chips and salsa were brought to the party. After about 10 or so mins the server never returned or let alone brought water to the table. Please not that it was in August and was super hot outside. Water should've been the first thing to arrive. After seating there for what seemed about 20 mins we decided to get up and leave. I would've been a bit more understanding if was crowded, but it wasn't at all!

Beware when ordering! My daughter and grandchildren and I stopped in for dinner tonight.. she always gets the chicken chimichanga. I decided I wanted the beef fajita chimichanga. So when we placed the order she decided to try the beef FAJITA as well! We ordered the kids fajita for my granddaughter. Needless to say when we got our food both of our chimichangas were ground beef-not fajita meat. ( keep in mind no where does it say ground beef). My daughter just asked for the chicken as a replacement. Disappointing. My granddaughters 8$ plate came with 4 little pieces of meat sour cream and enough rice and beans for all of us-NO cheese..we asked the waitress where the cheese was and she said it didn't come with it (I'm sorry what??) it's fajitas!!!then we kept having to ask her and it took her over 20 minutes to bring the cheese and by then she was full. When we got the bill lo and behold charges for the sour cream and cheese!!! But when we ordered the waitress said it came with sour cream.. petty.Zero starsNever coming back. They need to rethink the menu, training service etc... what a waste.

Food was fabulous! Service was just a little slow but was extremely busy. Would definitely come back.

This was my first, and most likely last visit to Villa Grande. I walked in and there was no wait. I was greeted and seated immediately. That's where the promptness ended. There was a couple that walked in shortly after me. While I sat at my table for over 15 minutes without anyone coming to my table, that couple that walked in behind me already had drinks, chips, salsa and their food orders taken. I was growing frustrated and about to get up and walk out, then a server came and asked me if I knew what I wanted to eat. I told her I was still waiting to order drinks. She said "ok, what do you want then?", she then took our drink order and food order at the same time. She left without taking the menus or leaving us utensils. Several minutes later, a man dropped off chips and salsa to our table. I'm not a fan of their salsa, I thought it was very bland. Needed some spice, salt, lime, or something. Their chips were also cold. They taste as if they came right out of the bag. Our server delivered our food to the table within 10 minutes, and that was literally the last time I saw her. She never came back.... Not Even Joking!!! No one came by to see if we needed anything, or refill our drinks. I waved down the hostess and asked for utensils so we could eat and asked her to take the menus that were still on our table. My veggie burritos were less than desirable. They had absolutely no seasoning and were literally cooked frozen veggies on a flour tortilla... no rice, no beans, no cheese, and no sauce inside. I had to wave down the manager to ask for some salsa to put on my burritos because they were dry and flavorless. When we were done eating, I waited a very long time for someone to bring me my check. No one ever came. So I put my credit card on the edge of the table, after some additional waiting, some random guy walked by and grabbed it. He said "I'll charge your card now". I never saw my bill before he took my card. He came back with a merchant slip for me to sign and thanked me for coming. Overall, I was very, very disappointed in my visit. The ambiance and decor of the restaurant was very nice and there is so much potential here, so I don't know how the ball was dropped on me. I definitely cannot recommend Ville Grande. After my poor experience, I don't think I'd ever come back. What a shame!

We have been here many times and 4 out of the 5 times the service is terrible. This is probably are last visit. Even before we came we said hey you want to go to the Mexican place by Sam's that always has bad service. Well we did and same issues. 5-8 minutes to get chips and salsa. Another 10-12 minutes to get anyone to come back and refill chips and drinks. Not sure where the manager is at this place. Think I spotted him rolling silverware napkins. Food is great, but when service is bad it ruins the whole place.

Service was good.Mexicana guacamole was superb.Meat was excellent.Salsa was not good. It tasted like mild Pace Picante.Everything else was ok.My whole plate was room temperature, as if it had to wait while they re-cooked my husbands fajitas.Overall, i would give it a 5.Expected better because the neighborhood Facebook group said it was very good.

We've given this restaurant three chances, but unfortunately, we won't be back. Each visit we had the same server, and it was clear the service issues we experienced were specific to her and not reflective of the entire staff.The first time, we waited quite a while before even being greeted. Another server, who was managing a large 15-top along with other tables, noticed and kindly got us started with drinks--something our own server should have done.As for the food, it's just not up to par. On our first visit, I tried the Grande Relleno. It wasn't a traditional chile relleno but a strange, unbalanced version with overly spicy parts, bland meat, and no cohesive flavor. The second time, I ordered the Carne Asada and enchilada, which tasted oddly sweet, like someone had accidentally added sugar. On the third visit, I went with tacos, but the meat was dry and completely flavorless. Overall, the food ranged from "meh" to outright bad.Service was another issue. On all three visits, our server never pre-bussed the table--even when we stacked plates for her and asked for them to be cleared. She simply said she was busy and that someone else would take care of it. Ultimately, another server--who was already juggling other tables--stepped in to clear our plates and apologized for the inconvenience.For the price, the food and service simply don't justify the expense. While we've seen some hard-working staff members here, the overall experience has been consistently disappointing. We'll be looking elsewhere for good Mexican food.

Great service, great ambiance, wonderful food and not too pricey! The cheese enchiladas were absolutely delicious I'll definitely come here again!! 10 out of 10 stars sAmazing is all I can say!!
