We took my mother in-law for her birthday today. The food was excellent and the service was above and beyond. My... mother was with us and had a hard time seeing the menu when the server started reading it to her. I didn’t get his name but he was very kind and attentive. We will be back!!!read more

Not sure what was worse the food or the service. 4 tacos and two cokes $30.Tacos were anemic. Waitress was more... interested in her phone than taking the order or bringing the bill. She never took the menus off the table. After several failed attempts to get her attention away from her phone I eventually walked up and handed her my credit card. Never saw a bill or receipt. Wish I could leave zero stars.read more

This place has incredible, different authentic food, and is very underrated. If you expect a Chili's, this isn't it.... But if you want real mole, well-marinated steak, or fantastic flautus, eat here.read more

Food was good, but the room temperature was too hot to enjoy. Not sure if there's no a/c at all or if it doesn't work.... Unfortunately all outdoor seating was taken. We would have probably stayed longer and bought more drinks, but it was just too uncomfortably warmread more

Kind of a mess. Speedy with the margaritas. Slow to take our dinner order. Very long wait for salsa and chips.... Suddenly, the side of corn I'd ordered, alone. Another long wait, and the entrees finally appeared. We enjoyed our choices of salmon and enchiladas. Can't say much for the extremely slow and disorganized service. We had to flag the waitress for our check.read more

Just left came for an early mother's day dinner. Understaffed, service was slow and lost they seemed like they were new... to serving. I counted at least 5-6 employees there was only 5 tables of customers and it took more than 20 mins to get drinks. The orders came out wrong. To be honest it was not a heavy crowd at the place to have such horrible and slow service. Never again.read more

Ordered the special which was tacos and soup. Now don't get me wrong, the food was good. BUT the guy who brought my... food out poured my soup out all over my food and even on the rug! My food was soaked in soup! My friend order soft tacos and got hard tacos. Could not even grab a waitress to explain. They were busy with not even enough help. When they came to clean our table i explained it to two waitresses and they blew me off. Customer service is huge for me and because of this i wont be returning.read more

First time being here. Took 30 min to get a cup of water for the table and our order. There was MAYBE 6 people eating... not including us. After our food got here, we still did not get our drinks until after we finished eating. I dont know.if they had new people working or what. But train you're employees better. This was frustrating.read more

We were not pleased with the food at all. Ordered Birria Tacos, Chicken Nachos and Shrimp Burrito. We love Mexican... food, always willing to try different restaurants. Our daughter wanted the Tacos she was so disappointed. No flavor in any of the food. The ambiance is more of a Hip Hop Mexican restaurant. Nothing traditional.read more

Edit Feb 2021: There's no getting around the generally poor service here. Most of the staff just don't care. The... bartender, servers hanging out at the bar, and back of house wear no masks. When you call in they're rude. They got our take-out order wrong and -- far from apologizing -- were very short with my girlfriend. You really gamble when you come here. 4/5 times you have a bad experience. Edit: A great server can make all the difference in the world. Victoria really went above and beyond with awesome service tonight. She was friendly and helpful from start to finish. Give her a raise! Original: Inattentive service is the only real complaint about this otherwise stellar restaurant. The food is sublime; the kitchen is amazing. The ingredients they get to work with aren't always the best (for example the lobster tails are very low quality) but that doesn't stop them from turning out consistently incredible dishes. Everything looks and more importantly tastes wonderful. Their menudo is literally the best I've ever had in my life. Try a cup! The bowl is a more authentic experience and probably not a good choice for squeamish diners. The taste is phenomenal though. We always tip well so I hope that the service improves as we become regulars -- because we're coming back A LOT. 😁read more

I’m not the type to post reviews but I was just so disappointed at this place. Not sure what happened to this... restaurant but, we came in and stood in the front for 10 minutes+ while servers looked at us and kept walking past when it wasn’t even busy. I work customer service myself so this was really unexpected, especially for this establishment. At least have someone check in with people when they walk in. Won’t be returning here for a while.read more

The restaurant has down and upstairs seating. Decor was lovely. There were some issues. There was no toilet seat on... the toilet in the Women's restroom, so I had to use the Men's room. The "hot" water did not work on the faucet, just cold. The food wasn't super great. I've had tons better Mexican food at other restaurants. Plus no "white sauce". They weren't very busy for a rainy Saturday mid-afternoon, but we had a hard time getting consistent service. Their mixed drinks are good. Portions are comparable to price. I wouldn't recommend this place; however, nor go back. Sorry.read more

I have had a lot of different Mexian and Tex-mex restaurants in multiple different states and the burrito that I had... here was probably the best one yet. My father in law also said his burrito was on his top 5 all time burritos. The side chiribean (or something similar) was amazing. We will absolutely be coming back.read more

My roommate and I came here after La H closed early. The service was amazing and the atmosphere was so lively. We... ordered two double margaritas and they were good but not amazing. The chips and salsa were also good. The highlight of my night was the CHICKEN QUESADILLA. I’m usually a very picky eater and when I tell you I literally inhaled it. The chicken was phenomenal and I even ordered another one to take home with me. We will definitely be going back!!read more

Went there for lunch today. Literally one other couple at a table in the entire place. A male employee brought me and... my wife water almost immediately, but that was all the service we had for at least ten minutes! When we were walking out, I commented to the server that the place was empty and we hadn’t even been asked for our drink order. She looked at me like she couldn’t have cared less. The bathroom was in need of repair and they definitely have a management problem. Won’t ever go back!read more

The food was good, but the drinks seemed like they try to cheat us and the service was scattered and slow. We even... asked (AND PAID) for double shot margaritas, but easily noticed they were not what we ordered. We asked about it and were ignored by the staff. It stinks out first fun night out was ruined by this.read more

Even though we usually chose to have a potluck, my coworkers and I here at Sentara in downtown Norfolk decided to make... it a Mexican day, support a local restaurant and order from here for lunch upon a recommendation of one the nurses. Well I guess I should have gotten THAT particular dish, because my antojitos were not AT ALL what I so eagerly anticipated (no cheese, lettuce, pico, sour cream, just meat and a slice of radish). We spent $100 and got no chips, queso or guacamole with any of our orders, nor complimentary. The person that took the order was REALLY nice though.read more

I was actually surprised. We were looking for a hot dog and turned the corner to see the taco bistro. I like tacos... and decided to try. Very impressed. Only has tacos, 3 exactly, between us. But they were fresh and juicy and the tortilla was great. We plan to go back to take a deeper dive into the menu. Go there and try. They also have a spot, I learned, in Ocean View.read more

This is a lovely location just off the main strip. We came in shortly after open for an early lunch and enjoyed a... delicious brunch. Everything tasted wonderful and the service was excellent.

Being in the Norfolk area so far this is best place to find decent authentic Mexican food. The service is okay, it... seems like they need to hire more people because the servers are basically all over the place. When they actually get to you they’re polite and helpful. The food is great though just be prepared for delayed service. Besides everything definitely go!!read more

The food was good, but the service was not. We walked in on a Friday around 6:45, and they were getting busy, but there... were still open tables. There were three small groups waiting to be seated, but they wouldn’t take our names. It was really odd, they wouldn’t even talk to us until we had a table. I literally stood there for 15 minutes before someone spoke to me. We would have left but we were meeting someone there. Finally someone took my name and I went to the bar to wait for a table and get a drink. We asked what the specials were because it was still happy hour, the bartender said “just the margaritas”, which we didn’t want. After finally getting a table we found out they had $0.99 Coronas for happy hour, but now it was too late. After sitting the service was slow, but not terrible. There’s other Mexican places in town I’d go to before coming back here, but the food was pretty good.read more
