    Fajitas
    Curt N.

    1st time for us. I had the Zocalo fajitas and Debbie had the Quesadilla. Both were amazing. Portions were large. Service was fast and friendly. Atmosphere was so nice. It was a little cold so we couldn't sit outside. If you're near the Hanover Courthouse you need to try this place. You won't be sorry.

    If you need to decompress from a long day, ride up 301. Wasn't quite sure what I wanted to eat but wanted something new. Sitting on the corner is El Zocalo ( easy accessible by 295 & 95). Since the weather was perfect outside dining was an excellent option. Promptly greeted and seated we ordered Lagunitas beer. The entrees was nachos with beef and chicken & steak enchiladas. Being in Hanover County, I swear the tomatoes & onions was picked this morning. The seasoning, presentation and taste was outstanding. I only found fault that I was not allowed to order off the children's menu. Sometimes appetites are sufficiently satisfied with that size portion or some of us have stomachs the size of an egg ( medical reasons).

    OMG, I have never had such an amazing fall beverage; it tops even my favorite Starbucks drinks that are only around once a year. OK, so I get off of work late because I'm working at a bookstore that stays open late. I have been stopping by on my way home from work for the last couple of nights because I just HAVE to get some of their "La Manzana" (I think that's it), and it's awesome. The servers are great, and the place is well-lit and in a secure location, so I don't mind going there alone. They even have the option to add some rum into the drink for a small upcharge, and I'm dying to try it with my friend (with a designated driver) because I can just taste the fall goodness!

    This is my absolute favorite Mexican restaurant in Hanover County. Steak and fries is my go-to order. Delicious!

    Excellent food and service. It's the best Mexican restaurant in the area. Quaint and quiet little establishment.

    Stopped here on a whim for lunch. Lunch menu items were the perfect portion size. Had the chimichanga (fried) and it was fantastic.
