The Five Best Mexican Restaurants in New Port Richey

By: Andrew Silverstein

Let's be honest here. Most Mexican food in America is cheap. Maybe that steers some people away from it, maybe it doesn't. But, even if you're vaguely familiar with your neighborhood's culinary landscape, you know cheap prices don't always mean cheap flavor or quality. Sometimes the food's even better than the high-end, ultra-modern places that'll easily charge 20 bucks a plate. With that in mind, there are a ton of great Mexican restaurants in New Port Richey that'll never break the bank. Here are our five favorites.
