The service was friendly and very informative, which was nice as we made decisions. The ambience was also excellent; we sat outside, but would've been happy to sit inside in the lively dining room. The standout dish of the meal was the baked Chincoteague clams. These were flavored with Thai green curry and were excellent bites. The smoked pork taco was also very much a stand out, the smoked flavors contrasted well with the freshness and it relief belt as if this taco provided bang for buck. The other dishes were well executed. A crab gazpacho with grape and other aromatic flavors as the base was well done but there was not much crab and so did not feel as if it was a particularly worthwhile dish to get. The grape flavor was also somewhat too prominent for my liking, but the dish was refreshing and light as promised. The brussels sprouts were solid but not particularly memorable. The oyster taco was slightly overburdened by slaw and proved somewhat more tangy than what was called. I would definitely come back for the clams and the smoked pork taco and would be interested to taste the raw preparations as well as the fried chicken taco next time.

Thanks to Yelp for leading us to Casa Pearl!…read more We were charging our car for a roadtrip at the Wawa next door and was looking for something a little more elevated than a sub to tide us over for dinner. The high reviews and the bumpin' scene outside led us to Casa Pearl. A quick look around, we thought that we might have to find a place more kid friendly but the lovely hostess assured us that they were in fact welcoming to the under ten set. So with a few kids menus and crayons in hand, we all ended up having the best rest stop dinner of our life! Everything was served tapas style and service was extremely quick so we were able to get fully fed during out 45 minute charging session. Truly a win. Kiddos loved the chicken tenders, chicken quesadillas, and tostones. I loved my margarita (no super sweet mix here, this was some good stuff), brussel sprouts, and chargrilled oysters. My husband LOVED the chicharrones and pimento cheese dip as well and was happy by how GF friendly everything was. We would definitely come back if we are in the area again.

The one standout was their take on a Crunchwrap supreme (their take from Taco Bell and it was good!

I just ate the little bit of meat out of it, couldn't even eat the shell! Not worth $8 for one! The other taco was a chicken mole and it wasn't bad but for most street tacos they give you two tortillas to hold it all together. Only one and it all fell apart. Will not be returning!

Jennifer wasn't very welcoming. She seemed to be trying to rush me through my order rather than…read moreproviding friendly customer service. She appeared more interested in getting back to her phone than engaging with customers. When I asked for a different bottle because the one I received had an unusual mark on it, she seemed annoyed by my request. I had recently experienced food poisoning from Taco Bell, so I was simply being cautious about my health. I don't think that concern was treated with understanding. Jennifer also appeared to be annoyed when I mentioned to another customer that I was waiting for her to hand me some lids. I wasn't trying to be rude or disrespectful I was simply explaining why I was waiting. Her reaction and facial expressions made me feel like she assumed I was being negative, which was frustrating. Throughout the interaction, her facial expressions came across as annoyed and unwelcoming. Overall, the interaction didn't feel welcoming. I can't speak about the male employee as much because when I did have an interaction with him previously he was helpful for the most part, but based on my experiences, I believe the cashiers could improve their friendliness, patience, and customer service. Customers should feel comfortable asking questions or expressing concerns without feeling like they are inconveniencing the staff.

The fish, cheese and Cole slaw were tasteless, and the bread was hard. Nothing enjoyable at all other than my side of Brussels sprouts. Everyone had the same feelings about the food.

Getting there soon after they opened, they weren't busy, but by the time I left, there were many more inside eating. Service was very helpful and friendly from the lady working the front. She explained the menu and gave some good information on the questions I had. I opted for a blackened shrimp taco and a their taco called "The Truth" as well as a small side of their beer battered fries. The fries were done first and she brought them out to me while they were piping hot. The looked and smelled amazing and they were really long! The flavor was great! I dipped them in ketchup, which was decent, but dipping them in their habanero creamy sauce was my preference. Next up were the tacos - They looked quite nice, with fresh tomato and slaw on them. The shrimp taco was my first and it was loaded with shrimp! For the price, this is a really good deal! The batter on the Truth taco's fish was fresh and pretty good, making that taco really good as well. Overall - Definitely really good food! I'd most definitely return!

I had 3 people in front of me in line and it didn't take long at all for me to reach the register and place my order. I wasn't that hungry but wanted to try the food out, so I got a Truth flounder taco for $4.95. The food was made quickly and tasted good! Bro's Fish Tacos has about six signature sauces which looked good, but unfortunately, they all have dairy in them, so I asked for the mayo based tartar sauce instead. While all the signature sauces have dairy in them, I appreciated that they stated that fact on their menu beside where their sauces were listed. I wish I had come about an hour later in the day because, after ordering, I learned that they have a happy hour from 3 to 5:30 each day where The Truth Taco is $3.50 and other dishes are cheaper as well. Some street fries were ordered for the table, and I had fished out about 5 fries without the sauce (because I figured there was a dairy sauce and cheese on top) and the fries were really tasty as well! The atmosphere inside is very fun and bright with huge glass garage door windows letting light in and colorful paintings of animals on the walls. If you have sensitivity to noise, know that they keep the music volume pretty low, but since the restaurant is right on the boulevard and has large glass windows, you're likely going to hear some noisy cars drive by. Overall, I had a good experience and would come here again, especially on a Tuesday, Sunday or after 3pm since that's when they have the best deals (which I appreciate)!

The staff is always welcoming here, and one of the things we appreciate most is the consistency. Whether it's your first visit or your tenth, the food is reliably fresh, flavorful, and served with a smile. After a rather indulgent lunch, we decided to keep dinner light and split the Chicken Taco Salad along with a small quesadilla. The taco salad arrived in a crisp tortilla bowl piled high with seasoned chicken, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and plenty of melted cheese. The quesadilla was nicely toasted with tender chicken and gooey cheese, while the creamy refried beans rounded out the meal perfectly. Everything was simple, satisfying, and prepared with care. If you're looking for authentic Mexican street food, friendly service, and generous portions at a fair price, La Hacienda continues to deliver. It's the kind of dependable neighborhood restaurant that earns repeat visits, and we'll certainly be back.
