We were welcomed with a big basket of chips, salsa, and dip, and the restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. We ordered lunch combos #11 (the chicken fajitas) and #12 (the beef fajita burrito); both were delicious and came with sides. Our servers took our order quickly, checked on us several times, and bussed tables efficiently. Highly recommend for good food, an authentic experience, and excellent service!

ZERO STARS As a Latina who grew up eating excellent Mexican and Tex-Mex food, I can tell you that…read morethis food was AWFUL. We tried the Stuffed Jalapeños, Steak Fajitas, and Fried Whole Tilapia and after a couple of bites of each dish, we had to abandon ship. Even the complimentary chips and salsa were bad, and the ranch dressing that also accompanied the chips for some reason also didn't help. What really sealed the experience for us was the response when we told the waitress (Alejandra E) that the food was terrible. Instead of showing any concern or trying to make things right, she copped an attitude and simply asked if we wanted everything wrapped up to go. Why would we take home food we couldn't even eat in the restaurant? (((BAFFLED!))) Our "Go-To" Mexican restaurants back home are Uncle Julio's, On The Border, and Guapo's, so if you have a similar taste palate, RUN the other way. SAVE your money, SAVE your appetite, and spend it somewhere that actually cares about the food and customer experience! This was easily one of the WORST restaurant experiences we've had--EVER. We left this restaurant and headed to Carrabba's Italian. Double the expense we were expecting for Lunch, but the food at La Parrilla was simply INEDIBLE.

In this former Hardees is a completely transformed Mexican restaurant in Phoebus right across from…read morethe Hampton VA Hospital. My friends and I checked it out today. They had eaten there before and this was my first visit. I was impressed with the decor. Seating is generous and the vibe is comfortable. A/C was blasting in a few places. Full bar for those that imbibe. I saw Speedy Gonzalez on the lunch menu, which used to be a Mexican eatery menu staple. The menu is extensive! Service was attentive and quick. The loss of a star is the food, which was mediocre. Oh my! My expectations were not met. My friend's taco salad seemed to be missing the meat with an overabundance of lettuce. My Speedy was unappealing. Taco seemed good but the meat was watery, as were the beans, The cheese enchilada was the most edible with a red sauce on top. The chips and salsa was good as was the unsweet tea. My Speedy and unsweet tea was just over $15 so $20 with tip. I would eat here again, possibly choose something else to try but otherwise I would just consume mediocre fare unfortunately.

I wanted to give Tres Compadres in Phoebus a fair chance, but unfortunately my experience left a…read morelot to be desired. When I walked in, the server immediately seemed bothered. I asked for menus to go, and I was ready to place my order. A customer (a Caucasian woman) was paying her bill, and I was asked to step aside so she could finish her transaction. I said "okay" and waited. When the server came back to take my order, her attitude continued to feel irritated. When I asked if I could make a simple substitution, she let out a noticeable sigh, and at that point I decided I would not be returning. I've been in the area for about a year and was hoping to have a better first experience, but customer service plays a big role in whether people come back. Unfortunately, based on this interaction, Tres Compadres will not be a restaurant I return to.

We came here two weekends ago actually as a Plan B because our first choice ran out of food items. Let's see if our Plan B worked out. Seating was available for the most part when we walked in. The owner greeted us and said welcome back. There were YouTube videos being played on TV screens around. 80s and 90s music...can't complain at all. After looking through the menu for a bit, I chose the buffalo chicken fries. It's actually an appetizer dish, but I actually got full before finishing. I took the leftovers home and finished that evening. Another great stop here for the both of us. What more can you ask for receiving great food with great care from the staff. You know we'll be back here :)

Short version: California burrito and Coke is amazing. Parking lot looks sketchy but inside has…read moregreat decorations and normally good service. Long version: So I went to check out this Mexican spot in Hampton and it was pretty interesting. The little mall that this place is in looks run down and I was wondering if my car was going to get broken into while it was parked there. But once you get inside this place has some interesting vibes and tons of fun decorations. I got the California burrito with a Mexican Coke and highly recommend! It is a 14 inch burrito that you can hold in your hand with guac, shredded Monterey Jack, carne asada steak, crispy fries with cotija cheese. There was a big group of people (maybe 10-12) in there when we arrived that was eating up a lot of the attention of the one waiter. Also, we had a long wait for food because they actually ran out of steak that was prepped and so they had to prep more and grill it up for the burrito. My friend got the OG burrito which he thought was good, but was a little soggy from the juice from the chicken. Even with everything, I would still recommend this place, and their California burrito was amazing.

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!

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.

We were immediately greeted by the staff and seated promptly. It wasn't packed but presented a cool vibe nonetheless. After a few minutes looking over the menu, we were both ready to order. My selection for lunch was quesabirria with consome as a dipper. When it arrived, it was actually birria tacos. I did ask the server about it, but he said it's quesabirria. Kind of confusing, but I'm sure it's tacos. Nonetheless, the meal had me full. The birria was well cooked and seasoned with other ingredients. A little messy, but it was all fine. And the consome was so good I actually sipped the rest after I was done. Even with the selection situation, I was satisfied with the meal for the afternoon. They will continue to be one local spot worth repeating. Till next time :)
