My family went to this restaurant thinking it would be okay. The salsa tasted like canned tomatos with no fresh cilantro, onion or garlic. The cheese dip was fine but could be better. The main meal had no taste and the tortillas were breaking every time you picked them up. Service was good, but the food all around was tasteless and bland. read more

We eat here at least once a month. The food is consistently tasty, affordable and always ready very quickly Highly recommend their seafood - big shrimp and scallops. read more

Horrible customer service!! Have tried to reach the owner to discuss only to be hung up on by a very very rude woman who cannot speak English well. Dunno how they stay in business!! read more

Went in and was greeted. Sat down and saw a roach crawling on the floor and needless to say, up and left immediately. 3/18/25

food was delicious and good service go along with it. It is not a fast food restaurant so don't expect immediate food delivery . Wait was not long, and food was prepared when ordered. We visited on 05/12/ 24. Adequate number of wait staff for volume. I /We will return again. Food quality far exceeds some of the other Mexican food restaurants in Gloucester read more

Word of warning, if you want to eat by yourself then bring cash. We walked in because my sister in law wanted salsa and I was to lazy to walk in Walmart. I sent my husband in and he walked back out saying if he didn't spend 10$ they wouldn't take his credit card. I then walked in, looked at their menu which has a large amount of stuff under 10$ (lunch meals for 6-8$) and am wondering how much food cost they lose because everyone uses a card now and not everyone knows to keep a 10$ bill in their wallet. My husband on the other hand said they probably don't have issue because that's when they tell you order soda or extra cheese to roll it over the 10$ mark. read more

Las Tunas Mexican Restaurant - Shrimp Enchilada dinner - Mexican Near Me - Gloucester, Virginia

Definitely not going back, seemed like the food was already cooked and just warmed up. The staff was a little flighty and not great with answering questions about the food. read more

Short staffed. Only two servers who are also the greeters and they make the drinks. Service was quite slow but staff was nice enough... The free chips and salsa is great. They also come with a little bean dip which my family loved. Crab enchilada is AMAZING. It was very salty at first but once they re-made it it was delicious! Waitress was new but a little frantic and snatched the receipt out of my hand when I noticed a mistake. All in all the food was really good but things did not operate smoothly! read more

Did not care for the place at all the only think I liked was the chicken was not as dry as normally would be also only Mexican place that makes you pay for more chips ... and our server ignored us for the moat part and spent the whole time on her phone she even took a personal call while we where trying to pay read more

Meh. Being a well cultured south west girl... I didn't come in with high expectations. The salsa was lack luster and required a lot of salt. The chips were not fresh and I'm pretty sure they aren't homemade. I had a chimichanga. The tortilla was fried to perfection. Stuffed full of delicious chicken that was flavored wonderfully. Wasn't impressed by the strongly diluted white queso on top. The beans were authentic and the rice was alright. The tiny dollop of sour cream on wilted lettuce didn't bother me since there wasn't a thing on my plate that had even a hint of spiciness. Glad we tried it but I'll pass next time I get a whim to have Mexican. read more

We were greeted with chips, salsa and bean dip!! We had a chicken chimichanga and it was delicious. We will be back. Ps. The price is right!! read more

Las Tunas Mexican Restaurant - Delicious - Mexican Near Me - Gloucester, Virginia

I just had the best dinner here, seriously. I ordered the Salvadoreno special, pork & cheese pupusas, which is a staple food in el salvador (pupusas are like thick soft corn tortillas stuffed with pork & cheese or bean & cheese then cooked...kind of like an arepa or gordita only they look like flat pancakes with the fillings baked right in the center.) Like the traditional Salvadorian pupusas, they came with pickled cabbage and a side of tomato salsa for $6.50. Their margaritas are AWESOME; they come in 27 oz. for $7 and one knocked me on ass. Their horchata also isn't bad, although I don't think it's homemade (if it ever is, really). Free chips and salsa, pretty standard. All in all I thought it was really great. The owner/manager on duty was also really friendly; small space, only two people working and not very busy. Good selection of Mexican beers, too. read more

What a disappointment. We visit this area each year and have always looked forward to this Mexican restaurant. Last year we found it to be poor and this year we gave it another try, still poor. Food was very bland, refried beans were thin, food was not at all spicy and we had to watch a Spanish TV program and listen to a Spanish radio program from another area. I asked if the ownership had changed and I was told same owners past seven years. The final disappointment was after ordering the special at a reduced price we were charged the menu price. Although quickly corrected it was still another disappointment. read more

High quality low cost Mexican restaurant. Definitely added to my must-visit list for my next visit.

Wow !!!! Been to this restaurant a couple of times and thought the food and service was great. Just went for a cinco de Mayo take out order. Food was phenomenal!!! Quick service with a smile! The quesadilla and tacos were out of this world! Wife and I are now planning a weekly trip to las tunas. read more

My family has dinner at this restaurant very often. The service is very good. The food is fresh, tasty, and large portions. They keep the chips and salsa alway filled on your table. read more

OK service... But food is terrible... And never get a margarita there.... Blah def not bartenders. OK prices ..small.. Not crowded... Prob a reason. I would say dont waste money. read more

Good food. Good price. Charged for water??? Food was tasty and our semi-complicated came out correct the first time. It must have been good. We ate every bite...but we were charged for water!?!? read more

Honestly this place is rough, I mean the atmosphere is alright but the prices for the low quality meals is a bit much. Food looks and tastes like it's been sitting awhile. I've eaten at a bunch of Mexican places both traditional and more Mexican inspired but aside from the pleasant demeanor of the wait staff, I'd definitely not recommend the place to my friends. read more

The food was very bland and inauthentic. Carnitas were flavorless. Although the staff was very friendly, I would never recommend this place.

This place is pretty good and cheap. The food always comes out fast. I got the stuffed zucchini with chicken, my boyfriend got fajitas. We have always been satisfied coming here. read more

This place is crazy good. We ate there for the first time about two weeks ago, and the food is fresh and delicious, and the portions are large... we ended up taking some home for lunch the following day. Prices are very reasonable, too. I had the Enchiladas Tres Marias, and my wife had a Burrito. Both were exceptional. Service is friendly and quick. There used to be another Mexican place in The Courthouse, El Ranchito; it was quite good, buy this place is considerably better. We'll be going back to try some of the Salvadoran specialties. The parking lot is a bit rough in spots, so if you drive a low-rider, be careful. read more

Been a loyal patron since they were in downtown Newport News and I was thrilled when they moved to Gloucester Courthouse. They are the real deal, authentic Mexican food with great flavor and wonderful service. The food is very good, always hot and comes to the table very quickly. The salsa is homemade with lots of cilantro, and the retried bean and quesa dip is awesome. The prices are super and you can feed a family of four for far less than you can buy a tank of gas for the trip although some of these reviews are a little harsh we have been faithful customers since 2010 and have never had a bad meal or experience. I love the carne asada steak and the shrimp quesadillas, but my favorite is the crab special which is an enchilada, a burrito and a quesadilla all full of real crabmeat. We are regulars because they work hard for your business and the food is always great. See you there. read more

Really liked this place. They have great bean dip that comes with the chips and salsa. Cheap and big margaritas. And the crab enchilada is awesome! Full of flavor. Very nice service and good food. Crowded with locals too. read more

I have been to Las Tunas for dinner a dozen or so times and have never been disappointed. The food and service have always been good, and the atmosphere is passable. The chicken nachos are very disappointing, and the chef needs a crash course in how to make them. At Las Tunas, they come to your table looking like a small mountain of lettuce, and no other ingredients are visible. Dig into the lettuce, and you find a poor cheese sauce and maybe 1/16th cup of diced chicken. The chicken should be grilled, sliced, and visible when the plate is prepared for presentation to the customer. read more

Got the super burrito special which had steak, chicken and shrimp in it. Chicken was grizzly, steak was tough as shoe leather and there was literally one shrimp which was overlooked. The seasoning wasn't very flavorful either and the three sauces on top, green chili, cheese and red sauce were pretty bad too. They do serve chips at the table when you sit down which come with salsa and refried beans with cheese. The chips were ok and the salsa wasn't bad but not great either. Anyway not much reason to go back in my opinion. read more

One of G-Town's best kept secrets. Been going here since they opened. We've never been disappointed. Everything is always fresh and hot. The staff is always friendly. Prices are great. Portions are huge and the salsa is full of chunky tomatoes, onions and cilantro. Always a five star! read more

This mexican restaurant finally enables me to understand how taco bell stays in business. Between the watered down refried beans, the meager slivers of beef in their fajitas, the lack of flavor in their burritoes wrapped in a dried out totilla gets this restaurant a 0 star rating. Pleasant staff, good service, but lousy food. Definitely will not return. read more

Good food, pleasant environment. The fajitas were hot, and not over spiced. The burritos were tasty and mild. There was plenty of spice available in their salsa and the El Yucateca hot sauces. Our server, Laura was personable and laughed at my bad jokes. A nice Friday evening in G.C. The $5.95 16 oz Margareta was a best buy, along with the special Fajitas Grande. read more

The Stars mean nothing against the service. Service was fine. Food was as far from authentic as you can get. Aside from that, also bland. Would not go back. Owners should rethink their business model as a Mexican restaurant. read more

SUPER SUPER yummy and fresh!! Gotta give it a try if you haven't. We are definitely going back.... many times ;))

My family and I enjoy eating at Las Tunas. The food is always good and reasonably priced. I'm sure folks from Texas or other border states will say the food doesn't compare to where they are from but that's to be expected. That being said, for Mexican food in Gloucester, it's well worth 4 stars. The wait staff is always friendly, the food is quickly prepared and perhaps one of the most important things to me, drinks are quickly refilled. While the bean sauce for chips is pretty good, I wish they had the white sauce like most other Mexican places do. read more
