I always judge a Mexican restaurant by the complimentary chips, and these were actually pretty…read moregood! The chips came out hot, which is always a plus. The restaurant has lots of seating, Spanish music playing, and a nice casual atmosphere. There were only about four groups of customers when we arrived, and with four servers working, it did take a little while for someone to get our order. Once we ordered, though, the food came out very quickly and was nice and hot. And they checked on us throughout. The flavor was decent overall. The California fries were really good--they came with sliced avocado instead of guacamole, which wasn't a bad decision. I've definitely had better carne asada tacos, though. The meat was real and had a good texture, but I felt like it could have used better seasoning. My biggest disappointment was the tortillas. They tasted like store-bought tortillas rather than fresh-made, which really made a difference with the tacos. Overall, not a bad spot. The food was hot, portions were good, and there were some definite standouts like the California fries. I just wish the tacos had better-seasoned meat and fresher tortillas.

A friend and I patronized LA PARRILLA Mexican restaurant to have lunch. I ordered a "Burrito…read moreCalifornia" which was advertise as a 10 inch item. I noted all the content of the BC that was listed on the menu and it contained items that I liked. When my food was served it looked delicious and when I took my first cut of the burrito and tasted it, it was delicious. I kept going for a few more bites, and I noted that all the content of the burrito was not there. When I saw the server I let him know that some of the content was missing. The server stated that all the content was inside and he stood there for a few seconds looking at me and I was looking at him and I said OK and I took a couple more bites and there were still missing content, so I cut the "Burrito California in half open it up and call him back to the table and showed him that all the contents were not there: the chorizo sausage and pico de gallo were missing. There was no offer to make a correction, the server just took the plate and left. Came back with a ticket of 3.50 for my drink. The ambience is very fitting for a Mexican restaurant. This was not my first visit matter fact it was one of my favorite places to go when I had a taste for Mexican food and we've had a birthday dinner there for my son-in-law before and we enjoyed our meal and the service at that time.

I was there between lunch and dinner so it was slow. Very bright inside with bright colors. 2 things I noticed.....when I sat they asked me if I wanted the white sauce with my chips and salsa. Absolutely not but I like that they asked. I know it benefits them too and less food waste but I definitely appreciated it. They also did NOT bring me a straw. Once again.....waste. I always bring my own straw so I am glad they asked if I wanted a straw. I was not nearly as hungry as I thought so I got a chicken burrito. It was good. The salsa was really good. So fresh and lots of flavor with lots of fresh cilantro and onion and tomato. It was really good. Don't wait when they bring you a check. You have to bring it up to the register on your way out. If I am ever back in Poquoson I would go back if I was craving mexican food.

I'm new to the area and this was my first time at Juan's. I saw one comment that said it was rowdy,…read moreso I was happy to go at an off time/mid afternoon when it was very calm. I'm gonna be honest, in all my decades, I've never had bad Mexican food, until now. The menu was sticky. My chips were 85% broken (the menu mentions that there is a fee for a refill). The salsa is super cilantro-y (great for cilantro lovers, I guess) I was excited for the blackened mahi mahi tacos. They were so bland, I had to ask for hot sauce. It was not lost on me that the address is Bland Blvd (lol. Ugh). The Skinny Margarita was recommended when I asked for a "good margarita". It seemed like there was Sprite/something carbonated in it. I later ordered a Mojito hoping to change my luck and it was underwhelming. I don't normally leave negative reviews but the negative experiences wouldn't stop for near $55ish after tip. The server, however, was very nice and attentive (except that he ignored my basket of broken chip pieces). The women's bathroom was extra super dark and felt like it belonged in a sketchy club. Lol Otherwise, the restaurant was visually appealing. I'll be trying other places instead of returning. .

Strong too--not watered down for size. I had a hard time finishing it, and I can drink a margarita! Plus the portions were big so I also have lunch for tomorrow. Our waitress was so sweet! We asked about one of the salsas because it was so good and she gave us some of it to-go! Ambience was great! I have noticed this place a few times while driving down Warwick but didn't think to go in until I was there to pick up food and saw the inside and the large menu. It's clean, has fun decor, and looks nice! Give it a try!! Enjoy! Also, if you want to read a ranting response to some other reviewers.... We only interacted with a couple people and they were both very kind and professional. I think some other reviewers want staff to be like HIIII!!!! Which is unnecessary and can be annoying and insincere anyway. In response to the reviews complaining about the language barrier... it's a Mexican restaurant!!! The staff having Spanish as their first language means you're getting good food. We could tell our server was not a native English speaker, but that's okay because you're just ordering food which shouldn't be very complex. Everything went perfectly smoothly. Also, it took a regular amount of time to get our meals. It's not fast food, it seems like they make everything to order. So just eat your chips and salsa while you patiently wait for them to cook, and all should be great! :)

I really wanted to love this place. The atmosphere is festive, spacious, and very reminiscent of…read moreMexico. Unfortunately, the food and service fell short. To start, the guacamole was nothing special and had an unappetizing yellow tint. I ordered a Michelada made with club soda instead of beer, while the flavor was great and authentic, I wish the server had advised me that substituting the alcohol would still cost the full $13.99. For dinner, we ordered the Choripollo and the Tostada Caribe. The portions were large, and I was excited for the variety of seafood in my tostada. However, the menu didn't mention that it is served in an overwhelmingly spicy brine, nor did our server warn me. It wasn't a language barrier issue either, as we spoke in Spanish the entire time. Lastly, we ordered a beer promoted on a tabletop card as a $3 special. When the bill arrived, we were charged full price and told the deal was only for Cinco de Mayo--even though it's now June 3rd. Management needs to update their table promotions so customers aren't misled. This level of service ultimately falls on management for not properly training their staff. I work hard for my money and expect attentive service, so I won't be returning.

What made the experience especially disappointing was that this was supposed to be a date night for my girlfriend and me. Our apartment had lost power, and our original plan was to go see a movie, only to find out the theater had lost power too. After an already frustrating evening, we decided to make the best of it and stop somewhere we thought would be welcoming, have a drink together, decompress for a little while, and hopefully head home afterward to an apartment with the power back on. Instead, the second we walked through the door, we were made to feel like an inconvenience. I completely understand that nobody loves customers walking in toward the end of a shift. I've worked in the service industry myself. But 30 minutes before closing is still 30 minutes before closing. If you don't want customers coming in during that time, lock the doors earlier or change your posted hours. Don't stay open and then treat people like garbage for believing the hours on the door. There was no warm greeting, no basic hospitality, just an immediate nasty attitude that made us feel unwelcome before we had even done anything. We hadn't complained, made some ridiculous request, demanded that anyone stay late, or been disrespectful. We literally just walked through the door hoping to sit down and have a drink together. The bartender obviously had no way of knowing what kind of night we had already been having, and I wouldn't expect her to. But that's also exactly why you treat customers with a basic level of respect instead of immediately assuming they're a burden. You never know what someone has been dealing with before they walk through your door. Restaurants are in the hospitality business. Nobody expects you to throw a parade when customers walk in, especially toward closing time, but basic professionalism and common courtesy shouldn't suddenly disappear because there are 30 minutes left on the clock. We walked in hoping this place might salvage what was left of our date night. Instead, the bartender managed to make an already stressful evening noticeably worse. We got the message loud and clear: our presence and our business were an inconvenience. Mission accomplished. We won't inconvenience you with either again.

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!

Absolutely unacceptable. I ordered a California burrito with extra sour cream and they gave me…read moreranch instead, which makes no sense. Even worse, the burrito wasn't even a cali burrito. It was just rice and meat with a tortilla thrown on top not wrapped, not rolled, completely wrong. This feels careless and lazy, like no one even checked the order before sending it out. If you can't make a basic burrito correctly, don't charge people for it. Huge waste of money.

We add the total together ourselves and go to pay at the front, the total given to us is 19 dollars higher than the amount on the bill... we were taxed $19 which after doing the math is 12% food tax in an area that only goes as high as 8% MAX. Also we tipped our waiter as we left the table and at the desk where you pay there is a paper stating that there is an 18% gratuity. This gratuity was added to our bill after the 12% tax so we were forced to pay gratuity on an extra $19 that we shouldn't have been charged to begin with. Honestly if I could give zero stars I would.
