    Enchilada combo.

    The food was excellent, although my husband's could have been hotter. We ordered from the lunch menu. He had 3 enchiladas (2 chicken/1 steak). I had Azzoz con Texano, which was one of the best I've ever had. 4 large shrimp, grilled to perfection, more steak than chicken. Mine was a platter, so there will be leftovers tonight! Very prompt service.

    The whole restaurant.

    This hole in the wall has excellent food! The meals came out looking like works of art. They have lots of egg dishes and seafood dishes, as well as the unusual Tex-Mex fare. M

    Cocktail de camarones on left and chilles rellenos on right.

    Excellent food and good service. The restaurant inside is charming and decorated nicely. There are colorful chairs with unique folk art images. The outdoor patio is really nice. It was extra hot so we sat inside. She brought chips and salsa right away and the salsa is good. They serve very toasted and thick chips. I prefer lighter chips but the salsa made up for it. Ordered guacamole to start. It was fresh and very good, topped with some diced tomatoes. For entrees, we ordered chilles rellenos, which here they stuff with shrimp, and the cocktail de camarones. Both were delicious but the shrimp dish was excellent. Somewhat like an excellent gazpacho with lots of shrimp and avocado. Both plates featured fresh ingredients. We will return for sure to try other dishes. The exterior doesn't indicate the charm of the inside.

    Steak, pork & chicken tacos.

    Great food and great service also the price was very reasonable. Definitely will visit again if in…read morethe area

    Absolutely delicious restaurant! The menu is full of all the typical options from tacos, burritos…read moreand rice based dishes. They also serve a variety of platters. I ended up getting their Chile Verde which is pork chunks topped with salsa Verde. At other restaurants, the pork is often tough or can be inconsistent in tenderness. But not here the pork was juicy and tender through and through. The rice and beans served with it were great compliments. I had a pina colada daquiri and joked about how large of a size the regular was! It was huge and I was so curious about the large size. Pro-tip, you will probably want the large size it was just that good! Our server was kind and the food came out quite quickly! They have a large parking lot and an ample sized seating area inside. It does have a separate entrance and exit though which I haven't experienced at a restaurant before so just keep that in mind once you are ready to leave. Overall, this is a great Mexican restaurant in Tappahanock. I don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu but I'd definitely reccomend their pork dishes. Whether you sit at the bar, their high tops or a booth the food doesn't disappoint.
