    Bilu's Colombian Restaurant & Rotisserie Chicken is located off Newtown RD in Virginia Beach. I…read moreattempted to visit a few weeks ago for dinner to try their Rotisserie chicken but unfortunately they were sold out so I recently returned again on a Friday during lunch for another attempt. When I entered I was greeted right away and was given a menu and I let them know I would like to place an order to go.  Service was great and the wait staff was very friendly and took my order immediately.  The dining room was very spacious with plenty of tables and they had bar seating available. While I waited for my food I decided to walk over to the bakery that was attached to the restaurant. The bakery sells a bunch of different Colombian/Spanish baked goods, snacks and frozen items. They also had a section setup similar to a gift shop that had purses, hats, clothing and souvenirs that you would mostly find if you were in Columbia which I found to be a nice and unique addition.  I ordered the half rotisserie chicken with coconut rice, fried cassava, and sugar cane juice with lime To-go. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the quality of my meal. My chicken lacked flavor and tasted as though it had been reheated rather than freshly prepared. The wing was so dry and dehydrated that it was inedible; only the leg and thigh were moist. Additionally, the coconut rice was significantly undercooked and excessively sweet, to the point that I could not eat it. The fried cassava was served in very large pieces that remained undercooked. The Sugar cane juice was a dark brown color and had a sour taste, suggesting it was not fresh.  Fresh sugarcane juice should be a greenish- yellow color and only turns brown after it oxidizes which changes the quality and is not what I expected.  I have heard great things about this restaurant and hope my experience is not the norm. While I am interested in other menu items, I am currently hesitant about when I might return.

They do include automatic gratuity for groups larger than six, but they were able to do separate checks. They have a bakery section with all sorts of desserts, as well as frozen homemade empanadas and the like.

When you walk in you see a cooler with tons of drinks and to the left a cooler with beautiful luscious looking desserts, seafood salad, and other items. On top is a warmer with Empanadas and Chiccharonis. The young man greeted me quickly. It was an easy process. He offered me a taste of Sweet Corn pudding. It was so good I ended up buying a cup!! I tried the small plate as soon as I got home. Yellow rice with plantains and 2 pieces of chicken. Not sure what the seasoning was- but it was yummy! For $5.04 it was perfect! Will be going back!! .

I like that the menu had a variety of choices. Shay took my order and she was super friendly and patient. She answered all my questions, and the other guy who was with her bagging food was nice also. I got the pork and rice and chicken and rice box, with chicken and cheese and beef and cheese empanadas. I'm very picky about empanadas, so I sat in the parking lot and ate the first chicken and cheese one, then I levitated somehow back inside to order more. They were hot and delicious! The sauce that goes with it is crack also!! Mmmmm. The pork and chicken with rice tasted authentic like someones grandma was back there whipping it up. I won't lie, by the looks on the pics I didn't expect much because everything just looked brown. But it was good flavor with both dishes and a good portion. There were a few pieces of tough pork, but that was no issue, I still enjoyed it. They let me try the cake which I couldn't decide on, that was so nice of them. That cake is good!! Everything a pound cake should be!! I'm definitely getting that when I go back. I want to gatekeep it so bad, lol, but they deserve for them to be sold out!! The restaurant itself isn't big. It's more of a takeout spot, but there are some chairs and tables inside. It's decorated nice and has a welcoming feel. It was clean inside and the vibe was good!! When I got there, no one was there but 1 customer. When I left everybody and their mama was there! What, how, when?? I got my food and joyfully skipped out ready to grub like a chunky kid at Grandma's house!! Lol. I took a nap when I got home!! Lol. Definitely check them out!

    This place surprised me! The pictures on Yelp did not do it justice…read more We got there 10 minutes before happy hour ended so we were able to squeeze in $7 strawberry mojito and $9 ceviche Mahi Mahi. The mojito was great. Not too sweet and you can taste the mint. My husband got the Oaxaca old fashion which he said was good. The ceviche's presentation looked disappointing but the flavors made up for it. The sauce was very flavorful and complimented the mahi mahi very well. My husband said it was the best ceviche he's ever had For entrees I got the 10 oz picanha. They actually give you two pieces of steak and I took the other one home. It was cooked perfectly to a medium rare with great smokiness. The green beans were a little salty. The yuca was good. My husband liked the filet but I think the picanha was better. Out of all the sauces we chose the chimichurri sauce which complimented the steaks very well. Service was really quick and attentive.

    They take reservations! Yay!…read more This place has plenty of parking which is nice. We had never tried this place before so I didn't know what to expect. I ordered the picanha tacos with rice. It was delicious! I wish the tacos had some kind of sauce on top, maybe like a chimichurri sauce? The service was pretty good. The inside set up is a bit wonky and sometimes the sun comes in through the windows blinding you. We had to move tables. I'd go back!

    My wife and I stopped here for dinner on a Wednesday…read more Location: Not the easiest place to find and even though there are marked parking in the rear of the building, the entrance is in the front. Not a lot of parking in the front, but plenty behind. There is a large patio that has vinyl walls, but it doesn't look to be air conditioned at all. Inside is very small and is essentially the kitchen. They were remodeling so the dining room section was closed off. Unfortunately, it was very warm in the area we sat in. Waitstaff: Absolutely wonderful! Our server made our drinks and was knowledgeable in all of the cocktails we asked for which was a breath of fresh air because many places we have gone are not familiar with The Last Word or a Boulevardier (seems odd to me). Food: They started off with some bread and salted butter. We thought it was a little too salty for our tastes, but good none the less. We tried the watermelon salad and clams. Both were really, really good and would highly recommend both. We finished with a fig tart that was excellent! Overall: For the evening, I would rate this a 4.5 restaurant. Kind of funky with the seating, not thrilled with the temperature, but the food and drinks made it worth it. I would definitely recommend.

    Ambiance is a 3. Food is a 3. Service is a 4. Appetizers were good: clams and cheese tart (which…read morewas really more of a quiche). Steak was under seasoned, sides were underwhelming, potatoes were not cooked thoroughly, still had that undercooked crunch. Not sure if it was an off night but there are other restaurants we can try for the $$.
