Carnitas Dinner

I ordered the Carnitas dinner, but the meat is burnt and dry, and there are no tortillas either. I used to eat here at least once a week, but the food is never consistent, so I stopped going. But tonight is the first time in over a year, and once again, a BIG FAIL.

Best marg I ever had!  Five stars!
Tim J.

We're in Virginia Beach to see family. We stopped here on a whim. What a great discovery!!! Five stars all around. Server and bartender were very attentive but not intrusive. I've never had a margarita like this before. I'm sorry I drank it before getting a picture. Presentation Five gold stars, taste is phenomenal. Not too sweet, not acidic at all. We're here for a few more days, we will definitely be back!!!

If I'm looking for an inexpensive and quick dinner I go to Plaza Azteca. When we got there around 7:30 pm I thought it would be crowded, but we were able to be seated right away. Our server Yordie was friendly and full of jokes. He was very interactive with us and I appreciate that. Not to mention he was handsome. My girls were hanging onto his every word and beautiful teeth... Lol... He looked like Mario Lopez and we were here for it!!! Lol. We were given chips and salsa right away, and placed our orders. My kids got Chipotle burritos and I got chicken and shrimp fried rice with queso. Our total was about $60 before tip and was pretty reasonable. They enjoyed the burritos. The chicken could have used a little seasoning but the sauces they were given helped cover up the lack of flavor. That chipotle sauce is really good. I added it to my rice and it made it pop. The rice was pretty good, and hot. They certainly didn't skimp on the chicken. I had leftovers so I like the portions. When we left the hostess said good night to us. The staff was nice and we were in and out in no time. I generally stick to the same thing on the menu, but I may try something different next time. If you don't know what to get, the fried rice is pretty straightforward!! Check them out!!

Tacos al Pastor

I love Plaza. Me and my cousins make sure we come to this location twice a year when all of the family is in town for holidays and vacations. The music is usually great and I love the decorations, especially the Christmas decorations. Usually the service is good. This past week, our server was great. With a group of 8, he was on top it the entire time. There were a few things I was disappointed in this time, even though we still really enjoyed our visit and will come back. I love that the guac is made at the table. This time our guac was a bit heavy on the lime. The chips and salsa was good, per usual. Our margaritas weren't as strong they normally are, even the TX margaritas,which are supposed to be stronger than the house margaritas and typically are. This time the margaritas were a little weak and my boyfriend even had to request an extra shot for his YX margarita. The bartender was great and worked with us to make sure that we eventually liked our drinks more than when we first received them. This time I got the pastor tacos, which are great! There's plenty of meat and pineapple, and the meat is well seasoned. I also love the black beans and rice that comes with the tacos. This is some of the most flavorful rice and beans that I've had from around the country. I will for sure be back next summer! I always recommend plaza.

Haven't been to plaza in years-but stopped in for dinner while we were in the area. Drinks were good and so was the food. Our waiter was wonderful as well!

Fried rice with chicken
Amanda E.

Finally remembered to take a picture of my food lol. I love their fried rice with chicken. My friends and I like coming here because of the good food and service. I also normally get the pomegranate margarita. Their salsa and chips are good. We ordered the table side guacamole today. It was good and full of flavor.

Very good service from Ruth. Very nice atmosphere and it did not take long to receive our food. The drinks were very strong which is how I like them.... And very tasty. The atmosphere and the drinks were good as well. I have decided to have my birthday gathering here next weekend. Too bad Ruth won't be here. She was such a great waitress. The venue was very clean. The music was At a tolerable level and the hospitality was spot on. Thank you all for the amazing service. Can't wait to visit again soon.

We stopped in after a little school shopping. Plaza Azteca has always been a favorite place for Mexican. We love having chips with all the fixings, and big fans of rice and cheese. Got steak fajitas to take home. The restaurant was clean and our waitress was nice and everything came out fast, hot and delicious!

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!

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!

My sister and I decided to try this spot because we saw that they had special's and it was taco…read moreTuesday. When we walked in we were greeted by the bartender. Happy hour was 3-6pm I think, and there were 2 taco specials on the board. I'm not sure if it was valid or not.. There was one person at the bar taking orders, serving drinks, and pretty much running the place. She was very busy. The anxiety of watching her try to handle everything made me a little uncomfortable. She was doing her best, and kuddos to her for not flipping a table and walking out. She was nice, but she asked us every 3-4 minutes if we knew what we were ordering. It was very aggravating. I don't think she realized after several times we were over it. The inside is pretty much a bar setting with a few booths. It's very dated and low-key kind of gloomy inside. I'd say this is a bar for locals, not really a restaurant. It's definitely the kind of food you could eat if you had a few drinks, maybe. But sober, heck no!! Lol. Ugh. I was excited to try them because they have some 5 star reviews, but it wasn't what I expected. When it was time to eat she went and got the cook from outside. We ordered 2 burgers and fries, and chicken nachos. We left and came back to pick up our order and the seats at the bar was packed at this point. The waitress met us as we walked in, with our food. I was hungry, so I tried the food in the car. The burger was definitely a frozen patty and thick as heck. It looked decent kinda sorta, in a way, maybe, just a little bit. Idk what to say. The fries were crispy but awkwardly greasy!! There was one tiny tomato on my burger and a huge onion that was a little moldy. I've never seen someone use a slice of onion this big on a burger. The burger definitely needed seasoning. I think if it had flavor it would have been decent. I'll give the burger a 4/10. My sister got the chicken nachos and she was not happy. Whatever mystery beans they had made were disgusting. They tasted old or something was off about them. The guacamole was a little sour tasting also, and the chicken was flavorless. She tried so hard to make it work, she even re-cooked the beans and it just didn't help. 2/10!!! She spent $25 and felt it was the worse decision she made all day. I wish I was exaggerating or something, but this is actual factual. The prices are reasonable, I'll say that. But it's definitely certain things to stay away from on the menu. I don't think we'd ever return. Maybe the tacos are better than what we had ordered. If you're looking for a drink maybe things would be better. I think they specialize in drinks over food!?

It's a bar a little dive kinda spot I had ordered the bacon cheeseburger for my boy, the grilled chicken nachos for myself. I can appreciate that they didn't put the toppings on the nachos or burger. My sister has gotten some kind of burger also lol. I get dropped off gave my son his food looks like it's about to be good lol until he heats it up for a second, I put all the fixings on my nachos right. Believing things was about to hit smh nope.. my kid said mom I appreciate you bringing me something to eat home but.... The burger tastes like nothing was like chewing sawdust bacon was the only thing to taste alright, fries were ok though. now lol for my nachos looks can be deceiving. My lettuce was brown and wilted, was supposed to be like a refried beans I guess ‍ they were kidney beans looked those. When i say they smelled like I was taken back by the look of things but when my crazy self tasted that mess my lawdt smh had my stomach doing flips. Also the guacamole tasted like that was old and sour. I have had guac with too much lemon or lime juice in it, this was like past its time only looked ok due to the lemon juice or whatever. Will not be doing that again. The ambiance was chill a few of those slot games bar area in the middle of the place a few tables around it nothing to really hype up. I will say even though we didn't care for what we had, maybe it was a bad day. ‍ Who knows other things may be good if we stop past that beauty store again, I'd go and try the lumpia or fried fish taco. Was told that they taste really good. lol honestly y'all go be the judge for yourselves could have been an off day.

There were three birthdays that the crew went over and sang an enthusiastic happy birthday for, so it may be a popular place to host a birthday party (not sure if the shots of tequila were free for the b-day guest).

The tacos and margarita weren't anything crazy (not quite a Cali street taco) but I asked for fresh jalapeños and hot sauce (made in house) and it put the finishing touches on my dinner. I'll try a few other places while I'm in town, but Jalisco is my front runner so far.
