    So, my fav Mexican eatery is "El Ranchero", and I must be one lucky lady that they recently opened up one just 7 minutes from me...which in "down the way" terminology means "really close". I use to travel about 20-25 minutes to get to my closest one but now.....the luxury of it all! I love this place...I mean like I truly LOVE this place with a heartfelt passion!!! Clean interior, great service, amazing food (and plentiful)!!! What's not to like?! This place is absolutely fabulous, and I am so over the moon happy I can finally say now, "It's REALLY opened!". After a year long wait of renovations that they painstakingly did, the place building looks gorgeous. This is my go to, tried and true, best ever Mexican eatery, and I am SO thankful it's finally near me!

    I saw the reviews and pictures on yelp and had to give it a try! If I'm ever back in the area…read moreI'll definitely be trying more!!! I got the tacos governador, they're shrimp tacos with grilled onions, bell peppers, and cheese. They were amazing. The shrimp was so fresh, plump, and perfectly grilled. The onions and peppers still had a little crunch to them, so all the textures worked beautifully together. I took my food to go and rated a 5/5, but I'm sure it would have been even better if I ate it immediately there if that's even possible. It also came with this special sauce, but it didn't really need it. They were amazing as is. I did like dipping my chips in the sauce. I also loved the chips and salsa. They're the thicker cut chips and can hold a lot. The salsa was fresh and no heat to it, but you could taste the peppers. The employees were very nice and helped me because I came in thinking I knew exactly what I wanted lol but completely forgot the name. It seems like a local restaurant because the employees were very friendly with all the customers there, and seemed like they knew everyone. If I have time before I leave, I'll definitely come back! Thank you for a great dinner and first proper meal in Virginia!

    I found out about this spot on Hampton located close to Langley AFB. They've been opened for 3…read moreyears and reviews online have been mostly positive. So, Sophia and I ate lunch over the weekend to see if the word of mouth held up. Let's find out, shall we? We were promptly seated when we walked inside. There wasn't a huge amount of people seated for lunch which was just fine with us. The restaurant isn't that big with a bad set up in the front and a dining area with tables. Mexican music was blasting through the system and TVs were showing sports and TV shows. And the staff was busy serving customers. All in all, a very good vibe. After a few minutes looking over the menu, the both of us were ready to order. We both ordered 4 tacos each (Sophia ordered 2 chorizo and 2 carne asada). I selected a birria, lengua, chorizo and carne asada. Everything was delicious. All the proteins were well-cooked and the veggies and available sauces helped with each bite. No real complaints from any of us. A wonderful lunch here. It's pretty cool when you find a mew place which will be on repeat. Till next time :)
