    New Mexican restaurant opened in Newport News across the street from Dodges on Jefferson Ave in the Denbigh area. I had a Chicken Quesadilla from the lunch menu, which comes with rice and refried beans. Not bad for $10.00. Weird charge I saw on my receipt was $.50 for takeout. Aside from that the dish was made to order, hot and pretty damn good. I look forward to trying other items on the menu.

    Lemon drop in the lemon!

    Do you miss Papa Nacho? Are you looking for a great Mexican spot that isn't over crowded and super commercialized? Drive the extra couple minutes and come visit. The menu is fire! The vibe is perfect, and the drinks are flowing!

    Had a great time celebrating a friend's birthday here over the weekend. Initially we were told…read morethere would be a set 3 course menu because of the size of the dinner party but upon arrival they were out of many things on that menu. They were also out of the snake river Wagyu ribeye and strip steak. We were told they didn't receive a shipment of meat. The food was really good regardless of that, luckily they had three orders of lamb chops left so some of us ordered the rest of that. I like that when you order a steak it already comes with two sides. Other steakhouses you would have to order sides à la carte. The cocktails were amazing and service was great. Only thing that was a little weird was we had two birthdays and asked the manager if they happened to do a complimentary birthday dessert or something for the two birthday guest. He responded politely with we don't do any birthday desserts but you can order champagne since it's a celebration. Mind you it's a party of 12 and each couple's bill was at least 250+. Nonetheless, we had a great time and money was well spent, definitely worth trying out!

The restaurant is beautifully designed, and the staff provided professional, attentive, and friendly service throughout our visit. Unfortunately, the food did not meet our expectations. While everything was presented well, the flavors were somewhat bland and lacked the level of taste and quality we anticipated for the price point. Given what we spent, we felt we could have received a more memorable dining experience elsewhere, such as Eddie V's, where both the atmosphere and flavor profile tend to align with the premium cost. Overall, the service and ambiance were highlights of the evening, but the food itself fell short of delivering the complete upscale dining experience we were expecting

    I went for Mother's day brunch with my friend and her family. Unless you know this place is on the…read moregolf course, you'd never know. It's a nice place, huge enclosed patio area. We were seated right away luckily due to another big party not showing up for their reservation. So with Mother's day, you would have thought they planned better. Going on Mother's day, I was mentally prepared for delays but not like this. Also, the food took over an hour. Smaller parties that were sat after us received their food faster than ours and our food didn't come out hot. The food itself was OK, not very seasoned and bland. I took half my meal to go so I could hook it up myself for breakfast tomorrow. Bright side: our waitress Crystal was very sweet and had great recommendations for our meals. I enjoyed her service. They had a limited menu but allowed us to add veggies to the eggs which was nice. I'd be willing to go back on a less busier day to see how the food and speed of cooking really are.

We walked in to a mostly empty restaurant and asked if we had a reservation, I said we did not and I was told it would be a 20-25 minute wait and they would text us. There is no waiting area, so we walked back to the car. By the 40 minute mark, we decided to just go elsewhere. And again, the place was mostly empty. The entire time we sat in the car, only one other car of 3 people arrived. I'd like to say we will try again, but with this experience, I doubt it.

But I still had this place on my mind to try... Well the Saturday before Christmas, myself and 5 others decided to go out for brunch and this was suggested. I did not know what to expect as I had only heard a few people mention this place, but I was eager to try it. I must say, we arrived right on time. This place seemed small inside at first glance, but from what I know now, they have more seating in the back of the restaurant, but we were able to dine in front near the bar without worry. Our waitress Ms. Vickie was an absolute pleasure! We ordered our drinks and meals... I cannot speak for everyone but for me and mine... My husband had the chicken plate with sides - tore it up! Now me y'all - I decided to order the platter because everything on the platter I liked. I must say in my 40+ years of life, I have never ordered a platter anywhere!!! It is always an item or two I want to sub, but this one here, give it all to me! Now I did ask Ms Vickie if I could get the shrimp steamed... OK fried it is :) For the wings and shrimp you can choose a dipping sauce or have the item sauced (I believe). I opted to have mine on the side. Yall...bomb!! Just bomb!! Everything on the platter was so so so so good! Before the plate reached the table, I told my husband he was gonna have to help me eat it. I didn't need any help if I wanted to be greedy or if I knew it would be that good... but he did eat a few things. He agreed, it was very good! My drinks were superb! Some of the fellas ordered mules - they were pleased! Overall just a great first time! I saw at least one other larger party (10 or 12) near us and Ms Vickie advised a head of time, there would be a wait before placing the order to the kitchen to avoid back up - super understandable, but mentioning that makes all the difference in the world. Now the ball is in our court to wait or leave, that's how I see it. Oh we waited. We enjoyed the atmosphere and our company! Oh no wait for the drinks - they were flowing :) Please hold on to Ms. Vickie - her spirit is amazing and the vibe inside is super high!! Plenty of parking. Have fun and enjoy life :)

    Wow! What an amazing experience…read more We were visiting from Texas and decided to find a restaurant near the waterfront. We stumbled upon this place by accident and we're so glad we did! The hostess was friendly and seated us by a window with a great view. Our server, Jessica S., was fantastic--friendly, upbeat, attentive, and genuinely made our visit enjoyable. An unexpected bonus was that we happened to be seated next to her parents, who were having lunch there as well. They were incredibly warm and welcoming, which made us feel right at home. The food portions were enormous! We thought Texas portions were big, but these were even larger than what we're used to back home. Best of all, the food was absolutely delicious. We only wish we lived closer so we could come back more often. If you're ever in the area, do yourself a favor and give this place a try. And if you can, ask for Jessica--she's amazing and truly made our experience memorable! Jessica - you rock!

The addition in the back is really nice, but the seating is TIGHT. Our chairs were back to back with other people around us. It made it hard for people to get in and out and the staff had to find other ways around all of us to bring out food, drinks, and just to take our orders. That part really sucked. I hated that the person who was behind me kept bouncing around in his chair, which kept hitting mine, and getting up and down over and over. They have space to give people more space in between their tables. We just ordered apps and drinks. Their pain killer was pretty weak, but the Long Island was delicious.
