La Patrona is hands down my favorite Mexican spot and it never disappoints. I've been going here…read morefor almost 4 years and every single time the food is amazing. The service is just as good, friendly, fast, and they actually make you feel taken care of. And the mega margaritas are no joke, they are absolutely ginormous and so delicious you'll want 2! Right now I'm obsessed with the Chile Relleno de Birria with rice, plus a side of Chiles Toreados and queso. Everything is packed with flavor and tastes like the real deal. Bonus points for the drive through pickup window. You can call your order in, roll through, and grab it quick, which is dangerously convenient when you're craving it. If you want consistently amazing Mexican food, in a town without it, this is the place.

It's been over a year since we last had No. 1 Taco, and it still remains my favorite spot for tacos…read moreand burritos. It was the perfect choice for a rainy-day indulgence. The birria taco was crispy and held up nicely even after several dunks in the consomé. **We spent about $31.18 for two orders of birria tacos (three per order), $3.09 for a Coke, and $4 for an agua fresca (guava). The guava one was okay but nothing can top their strawberry kiwi agua fresca. No. 1 Taco remains a must-have when in VB. I have yet to find something close to it on the peninsula.

No 1 Taco is a solid spot for some good tacos! I've been a couple times now in the past year and…read moreit's fast casual spot to dine in and get some good Mexican food here. My favorite protein to get is absolutely the tripa (fried tripe) - it's seasoned well and delicious. Their queso and chips is also excellent and a must get as well! I also really enjoy their many flavors of agua frescas and got the pineapple one on my latest visit and it was tasty and refreshing! Food came out in a timely manner and there's no wait service here. Super casual spot with some good food. There's also an unlimited topping bar which is a cool addition. Come check this place out!

Well worth a little jaunt off of the main strip, Taqueria Jessy's has authentic Mexican food that…read morewill make you want to come back for more. Here's the deal: Jessy's is located in a small shopping strip. While the building is a little older I did not think l it run down or in a part of town that I would consider questionable at all. I saw at least one review that noted this- could not disagree more., nothing to fear here. Plenty of parking and it's free! Once inside the restaurant is medium sized with seating for at least 15 parties and tables that can accommodative larger parties, 10+ people. There are two order stations at either side of the restaurant - one for hot food the other for ice cream and desserts. Service was friendly and attentive. You can choose to self order for takeout or be waited on. While staff wait on and bring you food and drink, pay is self pay at the food order counter. The menu is larger and has something for everyone. Proteins are optional for nearly every dish. The food here is authentic with lots of protections including some of my favorites- Al pastor and chicken tinga. Chips and salsa are scratch made and fresh- very good. We had street tacos which were very flavorful and also scratch cooked including the corn tortillas. Served with traditional hot sauces to add that little extra heat- awesome. The Al pastor was not grilled to get that char that some Al pastor dishes have but was otherwise spot on. Chicken tinga was perfect. If you are looking for authentic Mexican at reasonable prices, this is your place and absolutely worth a few minutes drive over. Hope to see you there sometime- happy eating!

They also sell fresh meats, which is a huge plus and makes it easy to grab quality ingredients to take home. Another highlight is their ice cream bar! It's a fun bonus and perfect for a sweet treat after your meal. The staff was friendly, the service was quick, and the whole place has a welcoming, authentic vibe. If you're looking for tasty food and a place that offers a little bit of everything, Taqueria Jessy is definitely worth the visit. I'll be back!

Vampire style sounds so delicious but I didn't want to get basic tacos! lol I had to try the Teriyaki Wonton, Spicy Buffalo Chicken, and BBQ Pulled Pork. Super pleased!

That's me looking for something to criticize. lol! Will try again. Hope they hang around so I can get desert during our company event later this afternoon!

I want to say I forgot to take a pic but it was just so good I had to dive into the box. FYI, i love how they stack them in boxes for easy to grab and eat. Super neat and smart.

If you're looking for a fun, lively spot with huge margaritas and great vibes, Jose Tequila's…read moreabsolutely delivers. We came here to celebrate a birthday, and it ended up being one of those meals where everything just hit. First off, those margaritas are no joke. Massive, flavorful, and strong in the best way. Bonus: they do $2 off specialty margs on Mondays, which is dangerous knowledge now that I have it. I went with the Coco Loco Margarita (1800 coconut tequila, coconut milk, triple sec, and sweetened flaked coconut), and WOW. It was creamy, refreshing, and honestly tasted like a tropical vacation. My friends ordered the House Marg, Peach Sangria Marg and the Spicy Pineapple & Cilantro Marg, all were just as impressive. The spicy one had a great kick without being overwhelming, and the peach option was super smooth and fruity. Before we even ordered, the complimentary chips, salsa, and that famous white sauce came out ... and let me tell you, that white sauce is to die for. I could've eaten that all night. For my dinner, I had the asada enchiladas, and I'm still thinking about them. Perfectly cooked grilled steak laid over cheesy enchiladas with verde sauce, plus rice and black beans. I loved that the steak was on top because once I got full, I could still pick at the protein (elite move). My friends got arroz con pollo, carne asada tacos, and the wildest dish on the table ... the El Molcajete. It came out sizzling in a stone bowl loaded with shrimp, beef, chicken, chorizo, cactus, and all the fixings. We all shared bites and it was unreal. We ended the night with the staff singing happy birthday and completely embarrassing my friend with a sombrero and a candle in his shot. Incredible. Definitely will be coming back, especially for that margarita deal and birthdays!

This was my first time at this restaurant, but I had heard a lot of good reviews from my coworkers…read morewho've been here before. When I walked in I was greeted by an employee there, Adam. I had 3 people in front of me in line and it didn't take long at all for me to reach the register and place my order. I wasn't that hungry but wanted to try the food out, so I got a Truth flounder taco for $4.95. The food was made quickly and tasted good! Bro's Fish Tacos has about six signature sauces which looked good, but unfortunately, they all have dairy in them, so I asked for the mayo based tartar sauce instead. While all the signature sauces have dairy in them, I appreciated that they stated that fact on their menu beside where their sauces were listed. I wish I had come about an hour later in the day because, after ordering, I learned that they have a happy hour from 3 to 5:30 each day where The Truth Taco is $3.50 and other dishes are cheaper as well. Some street fries were ordered for the table, and I had fished out about 5 fries without the sauce (because I figured there was a dairy sauce and cheese on top) and the fries were really tasty as well! The atmosphere inside is very fun and bright with huge glass garage door windows letting light in and colorful paintings of animals on the walls. If you have sensitivity to noise, know that they keep the music volume pretty low, but since the restaurant is right on the boulevard and has large glass windows, you're likely going to hear some noisy cars drive by. Overall, I had a good experience and would come here again, especially on a Tuesday, Sunday or after 3pm since that's when they have the best deals (which I appreciate)!

The bowl was pretty good, it was just more toppings than meat. I guess next time I'll pay for extra meat. Other than that I enjoyed the food. The fries were good also. They're like battered fries and pretty tasty. They were hot and fresh!! They have fried fish, beef, tuna, shrimp, and other taco bowls. Or you can get it as a taco. Also fries, churro donuts, and more. Check them out!!
