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!

On our way to an anniversary weekend in Irvington, we decided to stop at El Ranchero Authentic…read moreMexican Cuisine after seeing all the amazing Yelp reviews -- and wow, it somehow exceeded the hype. From the moment we walked in, we were immediately greeted, seated quickly, and treated with such kindness. The service was attentive from start to finish and our order was taken promptly without ever feeling rushed. The food was absolutely incredible. We ordered the chorizo cheese dip, birria tacos, and the al pastor street tacos, and honestly... this was one of the best Mexican meals I've ever had in my life. Every single thing was packed with flavor, fresh, and clearly made with care. The birria tacos were rich and perfectly crispy, and the al pastor was unreal. This place alone was worth the drive. If you're anywhere near Port Royal, this is a MUST visit. We'll absolutely be stopping here again.

This is a small but really nice restaurant with good service. We we passing through and decided to…read moregive it a try. I had a taste for a Taco salad. We were seated right away and then the place filled up. The chips and salsa were good. Chips warm and salsa was mild. I prefer more spice but for the GP this works. If you ask they do have two more salsa, one green and the other Red is which I wish I had when I was eating my Taco salad. The Taco salad was mild they say you can request for it to be spicy which I will do next time. If you are passing through the area and want some mexican give them a try. If you like your mexican food with a little heat, ask before you order, I think everything is cooked mild.

Visited on Cinco de Mayo (May 5, 2026) and encountered significant billing inconsistencies that…read moreraised serious concerns. My son was initially charged $34.39 for two frozen mango margaritas at the bar. Later, he went back up to the bar ordered one frozen strawberry margarita (listed at $15) and a tequila shot ($6), yet was charged $58.46. When I questioned, the female bartender about the price of a frozen margarita, and shot she immediately stated it was $15 and $6 stated that they thought the two earlier frozen mango margaritas had not been paid for. Obviously that was a false statement because they would've never allowed a patriot to walk away without paying for drinks from the bar this was just a way to justify them overcharging him. Although a refund was issued after I raised the issue, it was still inaccurate only $30 was returned instead of the full $34.39, excluding tax. Additionally, no apology or clear explanation was provided. This experience reflects poorly on the establishment's billing accuracy and transparency. Customers should carefully review their charges, as pricing appears inconsistent for identical items. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this establishment.
