About the Business

Specialties

Our Cuisine We have a very unique array of items on our menu. We offer some real authentic Mexican dishes, some Tex-Mex style dishes, and traditional American favorites. We approach all of these areas of cuisine with the same focus on producing the most flavorful recipes. There are traditional Mexican dishes such as enchiladas, tamales, and chile rellenos. Then there are Mexican-themed dishes with a twist of outside influence such as the Mexican Pizza, Mexican Rolls, and our Famous Wet Burrito. In our kitchen, we utilize many traditional Mexican ingredients such as Chile Quajillo, fresh cilantro, and Chipotle. We prep everything from our sauces, to our tortilla chips, to our meats fresh every day. We do not give complimentary Chips & Salsa with every meal. Why? Because we make a freshly made pico de gallo stlye salsa with freshly cut and fried tortilla chips, not a jarred picante sauce with bagged, overly salted chips.

History

Established in 1970.

Our History The VIP has been in existence since the 1970's and although easy to miss, it is a landmark in Treasure Island. The current owners Christine and her son Nick, have had the restaurant since 1994. The VIP has gone through many renovations and small changes in the past 15 years, but one thing remains the same: Great Food, Great Service, Great Times. The VIP you see now hardly resembles the place you may have seen 10-15 years ago. The VIP is different for many people. Some simply pass through to watch the ball game while drinking some cold beers. Others bring their families by for a great tasting meal at an affordable price. Whereas our back patio once was simply a parking lot, now it is a completely renovated patio seating area with music, TV, misting fans, and tropical decor. At the VIP, we continue to evolve, and continue to strive to offer our customers the very best experience in Mexican/American Cuisine.
