    Amazing vibes! The restaurant is upscale yet cozy. The ladies working were so friendly and helpful as we made a couple tweaks to our drink order. The food was absolutely delicious and fresh. Will return!

    Courtney served us four tapas: 1. guacamole with chips though the avocado looked like a whole one it wasn't, just peeled and torched it perhaps. 2. Empanadas, each the size of a silver dollar. 3. A bowl of mussels, really yummy sauce. 4. Elote corn Very expensive for four tapas so that's why the loss of a star. The dining room was well decorated and the men/women's restroom was painted in a bold blue with a colorful poster. If you want to dine here, be prepared for a high tab. We both agreed that the mussels were the best, the teeny empanadas came in second, and finally the guacamole came in third. Neither of us cared for the corn which tasted like frozen corn that was heated up. When we want to spend a lot, then we will return but the final bill of $100 for four tapas was a lot. Courtney was a knowledgeable server.

    Steak taco-so good!

    Tried out the brick and mortar version of the popular food truck and it was very good! Highlights: kind and friendly service and staff. Chef/owner came and spoke to us as well as his wife and we felt very welcomed. Server was also very knowledgeable about menu items Saw some other reviews on here and tried some of the items others had suggested. Standouts for food: Avocado! Trust it is great! Empanadas-beef The steak taco! Enjoyed the lobster bao buns but not sure it was $37 worth of lobster. The potato's are good too and the fried chicken taco was also good, but just not as good as the other food. It's nicely decorated inside and has a cool vibe. Will come back to enjoy more of the food!

    Charming newer place in the heart of colonial Williamsburg serving Tapas and foods with a latin or international flare. As you would expect with Tapas, portions were small and bite sized. Two "Main" appetizers we had were empanadas-5 @ th size of a silver dollar in a delightful aji rojo velouté. The other was mussels- about 25 mussels with Spanish chorizo in an aji amarillo broth, & 3 grilled baguettes. I could have taken a bath it that sauce, and seriously considered asking for additional grilled baguettes to soak it up. Smaller dishes were Guacamole Tatemado-Fire-roasted avocado, aji amarillo velouté, salsa brunoise, micro cilantro, warm tortilla chips, and Street Corn-Street Corn - Fire-roasted corn, chili aioli, cotija, cilantro, chile de árbol sauce. Of all the dishes, that one was the only one we considered disappointing; flavor was lacking and could really have used a little lime or more or stronger chiles. Our server, Courtney, was a bundle of energy, cheerful, knowledgeable and helpful. The decor is modern and comfortable, but the size is small, so might want reservations at busy times and seasons. Given the area, it's not surprising that it's a bit pricey - our 4 dishes, no drinks, with tax and tip were almost $100.

    I recently tried Don Chido and had a pretty decent experience overall. The atmosphere was nice, and the visit itself was enjoyable, but the food was just alright. I ordered the Korean fried chicken tacos, and honestly, the tacos weren't the best tasting. The flavors didn't really stand out, and for two small tacos, the price felt a bit crazy for what I received.

    Had lunch at Don Chido today and everything was fantastic . We started with the Street Corn and the Pan Con Tomate, both were excellent . We also tried the Carne Asada tacos and the Patatas con Langosta. The aji rojo sauce on the Carne Arsada tacos was amazing . The flavors of everything all blend so well together . Definitely recommend. Also the Strawberry fresco mojito was awesome as well, the touch of prosecco really makes the drink.

    This past weekend I tried their newly opened restaurant next to Amber Ox and Oishii. The decor and ambiance of the restaurant as you walk in is modern and fun. I thought the food was spectacular, however be aware that these are tapas-style small plates that can get quite pricey. Additionally, the service took a while, they often forgot about items I ordered, or they were sold out. That being said, I did go on opening weekend so those types of things are meant to happen. Overall good experience! Note: They are still working on their liquor license but do have mocktails.

    Chicken al pastor tacos

    Came in early on Cinco de Mayo and was not disappointed! We went with the lobster fries, empanadas, Korean short rib bowl and chicken al pastor tacos. It was all amazing! If I had to say, the empanadas were my favorite though. We will definitely be back!

    Really enjoyed the meal at Casa Pearl and would likely come back next time. I am in the area. This…read morerestaurant was executing at a very high level and it seemed like every dish was prepared with care and thought. 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.

    This was a highlight of our Williamsburg trip!…read more I made a reservation about a month out and I'm glad I did. It was so busy when we showed up. They asked us if we wanted to wait for a few minutes at the bar while they prepared our table so we ordered a couple of drinks. As soon as we ordered they came to get us. No big deal, we just paid and took our drinks with us. We were sat toward the front of the restaurant, which gave us the perfect people-watching position. Our server stopped by to greet us and said she'd be back. Waters and bread were delivered and she oriented us to the menu. We made our selections of salmon for my husband and short ribs with a side of squash. Everything was delicious. We were happy with our selections and so full when we left. I appreciate that the short ribs are boneless and tender and had the perfect seasoning. I'd eat that dish again anytime!

    Our first time at the Fat Canary restaurant in Williamsburg, VA. I had the halibut special, served…read moreover shrimp and risotto. My wife had the scallops over risotto. Everything was incredibly delicious. The entire restaurant is spacious, clean, and beautifully maintained. The staff was very helpful and took the time to explain the menu. We also had espresso martinis--the non-creamy version--which were excellent as well. We will certainly be back for another visit within the month.
