La Villa - Hempstead

IT’S CLOSED! I uploaded a picture! We went on a Saturday night and it was closed!

If I'm being honest this is the best Mexican restaurant I've found and it's become my favorite spot. I am Mexican myself and I've been to several spots in the 845 and none can execute the taste of home like La Villa. The portions are big I almost always have a lot to take home! The drinks are beautifully balanced not too sweet and not overly strong. Overall, everything tastes fresh and delicious and reminds me of home so it's definitely worth my money. Very underrated restaurant.

My 2 friends and I were enjoying ourselves until the owner came up to ask and unlawfully searched us finding nothing of course he claimed we smoked in the bathroom I told him to check his cameras. He kicked us out and next day sends me the video. In video there were 4 blonde girls that entered the bathroom. It wasn’t me. Number of girls doesn’t match Clothes don’t match the hair color doesn’t match my 2 friends have black hair and to add I have full sleeve tattoos and in video these girls had no tattoos at all. He refused to apologize I feel violated for being searched and wrongfully accused.

This restaurant is a great choice for Hispanic cuisine. The hookah and drinks are both excellent. Saturday nights tend to be the busiest, but it's the perfect time to enjoy the atmosphere and dance.

The restroom lacked locks and toilet seats, which is indicative of the poor quality of this establishment. Charging $10 for a drink and $2 for ice is excessive. It is best to steer clear of this place.
