Went here for the first time this past Saturday night for a last minute birthday celebration. We'd…read morehad plans to go to another restaurant in Norfolk but it was closed the whole weekend for Labor Day so had to make a last minute decision on where I wanted to go instead! I have been wanting to try El Korita for a couple of years now so figured this would be a perfect time, I'm sure glad we did! We got there an hour before closing and even though the place is pretty tiny, they were able to seat our party of six with no wait time. Put two tables together for us and quickly got our drink orders and brought us three baskets if chips with both the red and white salsas to accompany them. Red salsa was delicious, I'm not a fan of the white sauce in general but the white with the red together was pretty tasty. They also took our food order quickly and were patient with our requests to change a couple of things with the order. Food came out really quickly, very hot and freshly made, and delicious!!! Our party tried the steak and chicken fajitas, enchiladas Mexicanas, loaded nachos, shrimp taco salad, steak tacos and steak quesadilla. Everything was delicious and really reasonably priced and they never rushed us through, even though by the end of our meal it was closing time. Highly recommend this place, we'll definitely be back!

My babe and I dined here for Cinco De Mayo. We heard about other Mexican cuisine restaurants and…read morehow busy they were on this day, so I had hoped this place wasn't too too busy. We arrived about 6:00 pm and we waited about five minutes... to our surprise another party was getting up from the table. After the waitress cleaned the table, we were sat after 8 minutes of walking in. Business was booming! We saw only three workers up front, but they all were on the move non stop. I ordered chicken and beef soft tacos and my babe ordered the fajitas. We both enjoyed our food and ate it all! He ordered a cocktail and I, a margarita. The margarita had too much mix in it and was not good at all... I am taking away the one star. The free chips and salsa... the chips were delish! Not sure if they were fresh or store bought. The food was plentiful and overall we will return if we are in the mood for Mexican. This mom and pop shop closes early, but if you are in the area they are worth checking out. Parking is available on the street. I did not see a garage nearby, but on this day parking was not an issue for us. Have fun and enjoy life :)

I always judge a Mexican restaurant by the complimentary chips, and these were actually pretty…read moregood! The chips came out hot, which is always a plus. The restaurant has lots of seating, Spanish music playing, and a nice casual atmosphere. There were only about four groups of customers when we arrived, and with four servers working, it did take a little while for someone to get our order. Once we ordered, though, the food came out very quickly and was nice and hot. And they checked on us throughout. The flavor was decent overall. The California fries were really good--they came with sliced avocado instead of guacamole, which wasn't a bad decision. I've definitely had better carne asada tacos, though. The meat was real and had a good texture, but I felt like it could have used better seasoning. My biggest disappointment was the tortillas. They tasted like store-bought tortillas rather than fresh-made, which really made a difference with the tacos. Overall, not a bad spot. The food was hot, portions were good, and there were some definite standouts like the California fries. I just wish the tacos had better-seasoned meat and fresher tortillas.

A friend and I patronized LA PARRILLA Mexican restaurant to have lunch. I ordered a "Burrito…read moreCalifornia" which was advertise as a 10 inch item. I noted all the content of the BC that was listed on the menu and it contained items that I liked. When my food was served it looked delicious and when I took my first cut of the burrito and tasted it, it was delicious. I kept going for a few more bites, and I noted that all the content of the burrito was not there. When I saw the server I let him know that some of the content was missing. The server stated that all the content was inside and he stood there for a few seconds looking at me and I was looking at him and I said OK and I took a couple more bites and there were still missing content, so I cut the "Burrito California in half open it up and call him back to the table and showed him that all the contents were not there: the chorizo sausage and pico de gallo were missing. There was no offer to make a correction, the server just took the plate and left. Came back with a ticket of 3.50 for my drink. The ambience is very fitting for a Mexican restaurant. This was not my first visit matter fact it was one of my favorite places to go when I had a taste for Mexican food and we've had a birthday dinner there for my son-in-law before and we enjoyed our meal and the service at that time.

I had an unforgettable experience at Catrinas Mexican Grill! The shrimp ACP was absolutely…read moredelicious, featuring flavorful shrimp, satisfying textures, and a rich, comforting taste in every bite. The small margarita was the perfect complement, with a refreshing citrus flavor that paired beautifully with the meal! What makes Catrinas Mexican Grill truly memorable is the combination of fresh, flavorful food, a welcoming atmosphere, and genuinely attentive service. The staff was friendly, helpful, and made the entire visit feel special. It's the kind of place where a great meal is matched by warm hospitality, making it easy to relax and enjoy every moment. If you're looking for delicious Mexican food, a refreshing margarita, and excellent service in an inviting setting, Catrinas Mexican Grill is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a satisfying meal and a dining experience they'll remember!

First, let me thank Guads for having some healthier menu items such as bowls and lettuce-wraps for…read moretacos. I started coming to Guads for that very reason when I was on a restricted diet and the places I usually went didn't have very much in the way of low carb menu items. Second, Diego, Abner, and Jaquelin are always extremely attentive and just as nice as can be. I've watched them work with other tables and service to everyone (not just me) is top notch, friendly, and for such a small staff that makes a huge difference - it makes you feel welcome, and being the place is somewhat small (smaller than the other places in town) it makes for a much cozier "like family" atmosphere. Third, it is your typical Americanized Mexican restaurant with a lot of the same dishes and you know, you like what you like and what you get used to. I like the sauce served with tacos at La Parilla better. I like the Mexican Street Corn and Fried Plantains at Plaza Azteca (which neither other place has). I like "Los Tres" (3 types of Guacamole) at Guads. Their Mole Poblano is my favorite. Their Enchiladas Rancheras has cubed pork where I'm used to shredded - but it was extremely tasty pork cubes nonetheless. The Poblano appetizer is a Poblano people stuffed with Shrimp. The Brioche are skewers like "shish kebabs" with whichever meats you decide and is quite nice for something a little different. Their red and white sauces are "different" than the other places - I like their red sauce best, I think Plaza Azteca had the better white sauce - but they're all slightly different and I'll take any of them any day of the week. My family loves their Chile Rellenos - which are NOT battered which is kind of unusual TMK, but they are actually quite good like that and a nice variation - especially if you want to cut down on some fried stuff and carbs. So I mean, you have to go and try it, and find what you like. They do do Taco Tuesday and it gets super busy, and the Tacos are "very basic" but I mean, TBH I always feel guilty when I get my bill because it's so low and even a single taco has enough in it for a - well, the prices have gone up with what's happening in the world - so they were 1.00, then 1.50, I think they might be 2.00. But heck the other places are like "no we don't do Taco Tuesday, don't ask". But I like their meals enough that even if I'm there on a Tuesday I'll still order a meal a lot of times. My favorite is probably the Taquitos Mexicanos with is 2 Taquitos - but they're two tortillas each so longer and thicker than typical - those are set on a bed of refried beans (enough to hold them in place) and topped with sliced avocado, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, jalepenos, pickled red onion IIRC, and crumbled cheese, with some chipotle drizzle or something IIRC - very nice presentation. The Chimichangas are like tortillas made into little pouches with the brisket inside of them - amazingly good and again, an attention to the appearance of the food rather than just a plate of rice, beans, sauce, and enchilada like so many dishes (they do those too though I you're looking for that). Just a lot of the stuff is nicely presented - got Texano dip the other day and it had two "wings" on it - a fried flower tortilla cut in half that had the edges cut with triangular points like sun rays - very nice for something you'd just expect a bowl of cheese dip. We've had nothing bad there - some things weren't as good for me, or for my family at other places (and we all like different things at the different places) but I've had nothing I'd say was downright bad. Some things are kind of "plain" or "basic" so I feel like, with the other more "typical" dishes, the "typical ones with a twist" and the "unique" dishes, there's something for everyone here.

Before I begin let me start off by saying that this review is based solely upon my personal…read moreexperiences and my own personal experiences alone, so without further explanation let's begin!. My wife and I were out running errands and decided to grab something to eat, kind of a late lunch or dinner because we both skipped breakfast this morning!. We were trying to figure out what we wanted to eat and the choices were between Hibachi or Mexican!. We do Hibachi quite often and both decided to go with Mexican. We normally frequent La Parrilla Mexican grill but I suggested we try something different as far as the restaurant choice goes. So as we heading towards La Parrilla we passed Guads Mexican, so we did a legal u turn and ended up here!. We weren't greeted as we walked in because there were some employees fraternizing with each other by the bar, my wife and I were going to seat ourselves until one of the employees came over and put up two fingers as to asking us table for two!. Not a professional gesture but not a big deal, just something to notate!. We were seated and given menus, the employee then walked away without at least saying "your waitress will be with you shortly" like most other restaurants do after you're seated!. Another notation to consider! Shortly after a waitress comes over and my wife and I could barely understand what she was saying and it seemed like she didn't understand what we were telling her. We had to repeat ourselves two or three times and she still came back to the table missing something we asked her. We were trying to see what drinks they had during happy hour and she said the only special they offered during happy hour were Margaritas, my wife ordered a banana margarita and when she received it she said there was no banana flavor at all in her drink! My wife waved down a waiter and he came over and my wife explained to him the drink lacked banana flavor, he kindly asked if she wanted him to add more flavoring but my wife just asked for a mango flavored margarita and when he returned my wife was more than happy with her drink! A positive notation!. We'll say our waitress struggled with our order all evening, so.... Let's just say the language barrier was an issue here! My wife ordered birria tacos, an order of 6 chicken wings fried hard, and I ordered a Dave's burrito. My wife said the meat in her tacos were uncooked and tough to chew. Dave's burrito was delicious! I'm not sure who Dave is but his burrito was outstanding! I would say our experience was ok, food was good to me but the language barrier with our waitress was a problem!. I didn't let it change anything because I still tipped her accordingly with cash because I understand we all have to make a living and it's not her fault that she is not fluent in English!. Nevertheless I would still recommend and return here!.

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!

Our waitress was very sweet, She joked that "Taco Tuesdays" are "Taco Wednesday" when it comes to how busy they get. They did seem understaffed, and we waited quite a while before we could put in our actual order, but our waitress kept our drinks coming in the meantime, never running dry. We were also given chips and dip for the wait out of courtesy, so even though they did have a timing issue they treated their customers with the care I expect from all businesses. We tried a little bit of everything including 3 tacos 4/5 stars, Birria taco with consomme 3.5/5 stars, Elote fritters 5/5 Stars, empanadas 5/5 Stars, taco bowl 5/5 Stars, and chicken 2/5 stars with curly fries 4/5 Stars from the kids menu. The food was good (The apps stole the show) and there was plenty of tasty options, even though we didn't all leave satisfied with our taste buds our waitress made it a great experience. The bowl my spouse had he said it was amazing and well worth the price for how much you got, but the sides for the Birria tacos were lacking when it came to my oldest, so sadly, the food went to waste because he did not like the way it tasted. He did love the birria tacos part. Our waitress noticed that my youngest did not like the kids meal (even though we did not complain), took it off our table and off the bill. No questions asked. Overall we had a good visit and would be open to coming back to try more, they have a lot to choose from and the welcoming atmosphere was top tier.
