El Centenario WPB — Restaurant in Greenacres

This is a medium-large sized restaurant located on the side of a big plaza in Greenacres. Parking may be difficult to find right in front of the restaurant, but there is plenty in the rest of the plaza.

They have a decent size bar on the right side of the entrance, and a big dining room with modern furniture but typical Mexican colorful paintings on the walls.

Since we live in the area, we were looking forward to their grand opening, and we came here one afternoon during the week to check their HH, but we found out that (unfortunately) they only run it for a few drinks.

As soon as you sit they bring you tortilla chips with a couple of sauces, which were a little bland to be honest. The margarita was also just ok, but to be fair, I haven’t found a place yet that makes great margaritas.

We ordered tacos with chorizo and al pastor: I liked that they are “simple” (the filling consists of just meat, onions and cilantro – no cheeses or other stuff that doesn’t have anything to do with authentic tacos), but the meats were just ok. Actually, the chorizo was almost tasteless.

At the suggestion of our bartender (who was really friendly and helpful) we also ordered Chicken Tamales. The chicken was a little bit bland, but I never had tamales before, so I can’t really judge them.

Their portions are big and prices are decent, and we had decided to go back to them from time to time for HH on their Taco-Tuesday. I had also already decided to give them 3 stars on my review until… Cinco de Mayo happened.

That day we stopped there for a Margarita on our way back home: it was still HH time and we were curious to see how they were celebrating the day and what specials they had planned. It was just almost 6:30pm, the restaurant was almost full (maybe that’s why they were offering drinks in plastic glasses only?), nothing particular was going on, but they did run a “special” indeed: the HH had been cancelled “for the Cinco de Mayo only”!

I won’t question the reasons behind that business decision, but what really got me upset is that there was no sign about that change anywhere, the menu still had the HH days+prices on it (they could have crossed them – or done something similar to make people understand that there was no HH that day), and even when I ordered the drinks, I wasn’t told about that.

We only found out when we noticed that we were billed the full price ($10.99 per Margarita) instead of the HH price ($6.99) and reached out to the waitress thinking that it was an honest mistake.

Yes, we could have “fought” those charges but… why bother and ruin a day? At the end we only “lost” $10 combined, but the restaurant lost 2 customers who were already planning to...

Had been waiting to check this place out, as it is local and I used to frequent previous place in this location. The food was good, not outstanding, but good. Good quality, good portion, good price, basic presentation. As mentioned in other reviews, the issue was regarding drinks. I ordered a Skinny Margarita, my dinner companion ordered a regular happy hour margarita. The server informed that the HH Margarita was $6.99 and my Skinny Margarita was regular price. That was ok. We received a regular HH Margarita and a Skinny Margarita. Both were ok. When the bill came, we were charged $25. 86 for 2 Skinny Margaritas. When we pointed out the discrepancy to our server, she called us a liar. Insisted we ordered 2 Skinny Margaritas. We asked for a manager. The manager proceeded to call us a liar and again say we ordered 2 Skinny Margaritas. We said we did not appreciate being called liars, would pay the tab but never come back. She said, "Wait one moment" and proceeded to fix check. We enjoyed the meal and would have made it a regular stop, but being called a straight up liar is unacceptable. I see from other reviews that this is a common tactic. Sell and serve HH Marharitas, then charge $12 for a Skinny Margarita. We will not be back....

I have to start off by saying that the restaurant is a beauty 🤩 💯 The decor is so nice! 😍 The staff was attentive! 👌🏽 I ordered the Churrasco 🥩 which I was expecting & was a lil disappointed that it wasn’t a skirt steak, it was a NY strip 😕 I had a Piña Colada 🍍🍹 flavor wise it was good but I couldn’t taste the alcohol 😌 I also ordered the Chile relleno on the side but the cheese inside was not very flavorful as that’s what I’m used to. Ordered 3 tacos de lengua 👅 to share with my boys & the only bad thing was that the tortilla wasn’t warm enough & the ends were hard 😏 One of my sons ordered the Steak burrito 🌯 & he said he’d order it again 😋 My other son ordered a Torta de chorizo but the bread was hard & the chorizo has flavorless & a bit over cooked 😒 The side of rice he had, had no flavor, like it was just boiled with no kind of seasoning 🧂 Overall I give it a 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ because the atmosphere was nice, service was good, we enjoyed the music & the chips & salsa were on point! 👍🏽 I hope in the near future they will make some improvements because in my humble opinion, I can see this restaurant being very successful if they made a few adjustments to their food &...
