EL REFUGIO BAR LOUNGE – Mexican
El Refugio Bar Lounge occupies a suite at 10730 US Highway 19 in Port Richey, pairing a full bar and live music with a kitchen turning out tacos, handmade empanadas, and loaded nachos. Weekly specials run alongside the regular menu, and the room functions as a neighborhood hangout as much as a place to eat, with late hours on weekends. State health inspectors visited the location in April 2026 and recorded zero violations, a clean result that confirms an active, ongoing food-service operation behind the bar. The tacos, empanadas, and working kitchen keep the place food-forward rather than purely drinks-only.
