“Maiden voyage for Saturday dinner. Very good street tacos. Carnitas and steak were superior, chicken very good. Sons got a steak torta and a steak burrito aka big taco with cheese, not what he expected but enjoyed all the same. All totaled $25 with tip. Friendly counter service and funny system to alert order up -- park close to truck and watch for the wave. Lol“
“Omar is absolutely wonderful and made our lunch visit so pleasant, we came back for dinner as well and got a different waiter and I noticed the differences. Omar is a great asset to this staff and has an amazing work attitude/ethic. I’m a manager myself and this type of employee is hard to find now a-days. 5 stars all the way! - the redhead“
“This is one of if not the best Mexican I've ever had. If you find yourself around here, you'll need to try it! The service was genuine and very welcoming. Staff seemed to enjoy their jobs. The building is a small one but had plenty of seating and parking. Our table tried the Burito Mexicana, Super Azteca, and Yolanda. Lastly, the rice was the best part, and that is a hard thing to say for most restaurants, well done. It's these kind of restaurants that make you feel like you're not a guest... but family. 5-star restaurant 100%Parking: The parking right out the front was perfect for the people there. It's not a tourist town necessarily so don't worry about parking hastles.“
“I do not recommend. Unless you don’t care about your food being handled in a sanitary way. I went here a few weeks back because i was Craving carne asada tacos. I watched The lady come from the back from doing who knows what and go back to handling the food without washing her hands. I’m pregnant and we are still in a pandemic so i feel Like people handling your food should wear gloves. I asked If she could put on gloves and she said no because the fresh made tortillas would melt the gloves. I’ve seen people wear vinyl gloves making tortillas so idk what was different about the way she did it but i was Hungry. There were some prepackaged tortillas on the food station where the food was being prepared and i asked If they could use those instead but she said they were not hers. I’m not exactly sure what that meant but I was flabbergasted so i just accepted my refund when they suggested it. I rarely eat out now as it is because customer service and cleanliness has completely gone to crap.“
“Call about 9:00 at night when they close by 10:00 on that particular day they said they'd have my order ready in 5 minutes and by the time I got there it was ready hot and still have smiling faces.Me and my family have been going to the restaurant for generations and will continue to go“
“Discovered this place on yelp while looking for libations in the area… it is perfect! Low-key & casual; Even at its busiest the noise level was pleasant. There is an ample selection of tasty food and even better drinks. The staff was friendly & helpful- addressing every inquiry while choosing a mezcal. They have the best tequila selection I’ve come across so far (many additive free options). I’ve already recommended it to anyone who will listen ? and I will definitely return as well.“
“Finally stopped in to this place for taco Tuesday. What a great little place! It's small, cozy w/lots of light & simple decor. The service was friendly & quick. Taco Tuesday specials are great as are their happy hr offerings! I had the birria tacos..absolutely delicious & stuffed to the top! Their white sauce that comes w/the chips & salsa is also very good. Also took advantage of the happy hr prices for their margaritas & got a frozen Mango marg.. also delicious! Prices are reasonable & in line w/most other places in the area that are of the same quality. Highly recommend this place for a nice date night or just a taco Tuesday solo dolo!Vegetarian options: They had vegetarian options but they are not numerous.“
“Guys. Come to this place and thank me later. El Rey #2 was just a cool freaking spot with impeccable birria options, fantastic daily specials, and excellent margaritas. Ambiance through the roof too—the neon and black light and art work lent a party feel to the visit in the best way. We had a blast. It's a bit of a haul from VB, but I'd do it again any day.“
“Me encantó! Es el primer sitio mexicano al que vamos entre Virginia Beach & Norfolk que tiene un buen ambiente, música alegre pero no escandalosa, buen servicio y comida deliciosa! Súper recomendado, sobre todo si el clima te permite comer afuera! Lo único recomendaría es que tuvieran velas o ventiladores para mantener lls miscos fuera de la mesa! I loved! It's the first Mexican place we go to between Virginia Beach & Norfolk that has a good atmosphere, happy but not loud music, good service and delicious food! Super recommended, especially if the weather allows you to eat outside! The only thing I would recommend is that they have candles or fans to keep the miscos off the table!“
“My family’s favorite place to go for tasty Mexican food , the team members working are always checking in on you and making sure your chips are filled and your food came out how you expected. Consistently impresses us and we will never stop coming here!Parking: Tons of parking in front of establishment as well as a large parking lot in the back.“
“I eat so often that I do not bother with the menu. They serve great Mexican food and do not serve “white sauce” unless you ask for it because it is not Mexican food! Benjamin is my favorite server. He’s been there a while and is super friendly. I love Mi Hogar.Dietary restrictions: If you have dietary restrictions, this is not the restaurant for you. None of them are, stay home.“
“Family owned and operated, the food is as authentic as you could ever get! Friendly service, a fast kitchen, and very tasty food! I've become a regular, for sure. And you can see from the many conversations between the staff and customers that so many others have made this their Mexican restaurant of choice in Norfolk. Love it!“
“The spicy guacamole was a welcoming dish to have, the combination of flavors surprised me. Follow that up with the stuffed poblanos was a good choice. Personally I think the rice was too dry. Had a few bites of the tamales which were ok but I was never a fan , however the wife raved about them. Our margaritas were very good and tasty.The decor is nice but typical for a Latin/ Mexican restaurant. Be forwarded that it does get very loud which makes it hard to hear the person across from you.“
“La Herradura is a main stay for lunch for me and my ODU colleagues. It's in easy walking distance, the food is great, and service is attentive and fast! It's no problem to walk over, have lunch, and walk back within an hour. The array of lunch specials are an easy way to try new things each visit. They even accommodate big groups without any trouble.“
“Excellent Latino food and the staff and is extremely friendly. The food is absolutely out of this world. If you love Latino food this the place to go. The restaurant is a small (only 8 seats) family restaurant. The staff is so friendly and always smiling. Go in give them opportunity to put a smile on your face the way they did mine. Hope everyone enjoys. They have breakfast dishes as well.“
“Tacos and house made hot sauce was really good. The new upholstered seating (East Ocean View location) is way too low! The inexpensive metal frame chairs are too narrow and uncomfortable. They could have done a lot better with the new seating selections.“
“Very authentic good at reasonable pricesCouldn't be a nicer set of owners. If you're not familiar with their menu, they'll explain it to you and make sure you pick something that is stored for you. I'm a huge hot pepper fan and he recommended some very spicy did for me that knocked it right out of the park for meI couldn't have been happier. Definitely give this place a try.“
“Definitely happy to have found this place, it’s authentic, great vibes, music and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious, the owner and I spoke about family and buisness. Worth coming to enjoy some delicious Hispanic foods ? starting the new year with an amazing dinner!“
“Best Tacos I have had since I have been here in Norfolk the last two years 10 out of 10 I would definitely recommend everyone to eat HERE. Everyone is friendly and very inviting. The place was completely clean and well organized. The food is completely fresh and the best Carmen's Restaurant Latin really making me feel like home and reminded me of home.Kid-friendliness: Family environment“
“Nice to have a new restaurant in the Great Neck area. Wide variety of meal options and our skinny margs were great. Service was a little slow but they were all very kind and we came early so that might be in part on us. Overall, we will return and are excited to have this option close to home!“
“Very rarely do I leave a review, but this place DESERVES to be reviewed AND visited. Service is extremely friendly and welcoming. As for the tacos...simply WOW!!! Anyone who enjoys a good taco absolutely NEEDS to visit here. Doesn't matter which tacos you get...they are all amazing.I only caution that you use the red salsa sparingly IF you don't like things overly spicy. It definitely caught me by surprise. Not complaining one bit; simply stating that I was NOT prepared.10 out of 10 WILL VISIT AGAIN!!!“
“First time here. Very pleasantly surprised.Big Clean Restaurant, Helpful friendly staff, the food was served fast hot and very tasty. This place goes on my favorites list.Oh and all that food in the photo for $12.99 , Monday was special fajita day“
“It’s a great Mexican place comparable to Plaza Aztecs, Salsas, Three Amigos, etc. I think there food is even better though! More unique entrees, amazing chorizo, must try!Parking: The best bet for parking is to turn down the street on the left of the place (when looking at it) and parking behind the H&R Block (it says it’s Guads Parking)“
“So we rolled into Los Primos about 20 minutes till closing and they were will to take us in and give us tacos. We were so thankful because we road so hard and so fast to get there on time. The trips tacos were OUT OF THIS WORLD! Everyone was so sweet and friendly. Definitely recommend. We will be making this a regular stop! Magnifico!“
“First time there, and WOW was I impressed !! Good atmosphere, staff were wonderful......and the food was incredible !!! Will definitely keep Pelon's in my honey hole places to go when in Norfolk !! Keep up the great work Pelon's !!“
“Got some great food and was able to enjoy the Norfolk Christmas parade while eating. The employees did a great job moving the line along at a fast efficiency. The place started out nice and clean but halfway through the night the bathrooms were trashed and were disgusting!“
“TONIGHT PERFECT..immediate seating quick service great food ?Vegetarian options: rice and beans. dips. Taco salads with shrimp or fishDietary restrictions: VegetarianParking: No problem pulll up free get outKid-friendliness: Well we saw kid seats not hostile kids menuWheelchair accessibility: Yes roll on in at front door“
“Ah Qdoba, how much I love you more than Chipottyle.Had the brisket birria, with rice and pinto beans, spicy queso, spicy sauce, guacamole and jalapeños.Giant burrito, wonderfully flavored, seasoned well. Still not so spicy, but a lot of food in Virginia lacks heat. Trusty bottles of Cholula there to help out.Staff was very nice. Helpful as well.“
“New favorite place! This is such a cute hole in the wall local favorite! It's not very visible from the outside or the lights just weren't turned on yet. I actually passed it twice but when i walked in, I was in love. They have a cute jukebox so you can play your favorites and I believe they do karaoke on sundays, all though that didn't stop people from singing the bops on that random Thursday. The server was super nice and attentive, I wish I got her name. And the food was good. I wish it had a little bit more spice as I have a high tolerance. But it was perfect for my best friend who also loved this place. They had great specials and just an all around great vibe. See you on sunday!!“
“I just ordered from here on a Tuesday night. The restaurant was about to close, but I put in the order about 45 to 50 minutes before closing. I showed up at the expected order time, about 30 minutes before closing. They had chairs put up and everyone was cleaning. I told them I had a pickup order placed online and they apologized and said they did not receive it on the tablet, but it would just be 5 to 10 minutes. I felt bad about this because it seemed the kitchen may have been closed, but they apologized to me and said they would make the order. I ordered 3 different specially made tacos. They made two of each and gave me 6 terrific tacos total. I felt bad for imposing on them but they went the extra mile for me. Also.. the tacos are great. I recommend this place to everyone.“
“Best horchata I’ve had since coming here cali. Food is delicious! That is the definition of driving by a place flipping a U turn and finding a epic hole in the wall. Whatever you get is made to order hand made. Even the tortillas are hand made.“
“Keep moes alive! Sure the quality is slightly above average. They are understaffed and don't always have items ready. However, how many other places are giving you free chips and unlimited salsa? Chipotle charges you for everything and Tijuana flats gives you a measly hot sauce bar. You get a lot of food for a decent price, moes Monday is a solid deal, and you get a free burrito on your birthday day. Love this place.“
“The food is pretty good but also not a lot to pick some of them can be disgusting or can be much more better and comfortable. The service is actually good! Not a lot is there but only thing is sometimes it's just complex. The atmosphere is pretty also great too. I can't describe too much about it. And it's also very empty so I couldn't ask much.Parking: A lot of spots! Maybe like 35 there. It's not too hard. They can sometimes just take you're spot. Which is the stupid part.“
“Stopped by for the first time today. Billio was extremely nice & walked us through the whole menu as four tv screens full of options can be overwhelming. There was no rush to make decisions, everything was cooked to order. Appreciate you guys!!“
