    Amazing lunch today at El Zocalo in Ashland, Virginia! Service was stellar! The food was amazing! Excellent chips and salsa too! The Margarita was excellent! Really great meal!

    1st time for us. I had the Zocalo fajitas and Debbie had the Quesadilla. Both were amazing. Portions were large. Service was fast and friendly. Atmosphere was so nice. It was a little cold so we couldn't sit outside. If you're near the Hanover Courthouse you need to try this place. You won't be sorry.

    If you need to decompress from a long day, ride up 301. Wasn't quite sure what I wanted to eat but wanted something new. Sitting on the corner is El Zocalo ( easy accessible by 295 & 95). Since the weather was perfect outside dining was an excellent option. Promptly greeted and seated we ordered Lagunitas beer. The entrees was nachos with beef and chicken & steak enchiladas. Being in Hanover County, I swear the tomatoes & onions was picked this morning. The seasoning, presentation and taste was outstanding. I only found fault that I was not allowed to order off the children's menu. Sometimes appetites are sufficiently satisfied with that size portion or some of us have stomachs the size of an egg ( medical reasons).

    OMG, I have never had such an amazing fall beverage; it tops even my favorite Starbucks drinks that are only around once a year. OK, so I get off of work late because I'm working at a bookstore that stays open late. I have been stopping by on my way home from work for the last couple of nights because I just HAVE to get some of their "La Manzana" (I think that's it), and it's awesome. The servers are great, and the place is well-lit and in a secure location, so I don't mind going there alone. They even have the option to add some rum into the drink for a small upcharge, and I'm dying to try it with my friend (with a designated driver) because I can just taste the fall goodness!

    Kregger's Tap and Table has ample outdoor seating; about one-third of it is covered. Because it was…read moresuch a hot evening, we spent time surveying the outdoor area. While we found a shaded table with a nice breeze outdoors, the chairs were wet and the table was tilted, so we ultimately opted to dine inside. Inside, a band was setting up for music later in the evening, and they boast a large selection of beers on tap. Despite the indoor area being almost full, we were waited on quickly, and our food arrived promptly. For my main course, I had a classic burger (normally served with cheese). Since I prefer no pink, I ordered it without any pink element, which was great as it kept the flavor clean. The exterior had a nice char that added depth to the flavor. The burger was served with thick slices of tomato, onion, and lettuce, a small amount of mustard, and on the side were jalapeno and hot dill pickles. The seasoned fries were very good, though they were slightly too salty for my taste (I'm not a big salt person). If you need to limit your sodium intake, I suggest skipping the seasoned fries. My wife ordered the Ahi Tuna Tacos, which were delicious and beautifully encrested. While she found the coating flavor was unusual with tuna initially, adding lime juice made it perfect. When I tried a piece, we noticed that the tuna might have been cooked on the same surface as my burger, picking up some of the char, which added an interesting element. Overall, the service was excellent throughout, and both our meals were enjoyable and served hot and quickly. The atmosphere is lively, filled with customers enjoying the music. We didn't stay for the band (which I'm sure would have enhanced the mood), but we noted that the outdoor tables are quieter and suitable for families--though this might change later in the evening. This spot is perfect whether you're looking for a quick meal or an enjoyable evening with live music.

    Did Kreggers get a new owner? I tried leaving review on DoorDash for new owner and door dash. I…read moreunderstood that it was Friday night and they had trouble finding a driver. However, Kreggers usually delivers food that is absolutely out this world. Stale squashed hamburger bun, wilted weird colored lettuce, burnt cheese, no pickles and the onions had a fuzzy appearance upon looking at what I ordered. Ice cold fried and warm ranch dressing on the side. Nothing like what they usually deliver. I'm so sad they apparently are under new management.

My sister and I visited with my niece (my sister's daughter) and it's a cute local place. They were having a daddy daughter event for Valentines Day on one side of the restaurant and it was adorable to watch. We ordered the garlic knots to share and they were really good. I got the Italian sub with onion rings and my sister got the pesto tortellini with shrimp. The menu is weird because there aren't any prices on it. Due to that fact, my sister asked the waitress before ordering the cost of her dish. She was told $13. She was surprised to get such a low cost with the shrimp on the dish but went ahead and ordered it cause it seemed like a good deal. When we got the bill, it was about $21 plus we believe the waitress didn't properly split the cost of the garlic knots but we didn't realize it till after we had gone home and double checked our bills. Finally, I ordered a chicken parm sandwich to go for my husband to eat before he headed to work. The bag I was given was taped shut so I didn't check but when we got home, we didn't get the onion rings we ordered for him. The attention to detail seems to be lacking at this place even if it did have overall good food.

    They have some work to do, great location though. Only have 2 small TV's, very small bar area- like…read more5 bar stools. Food was awful, even pizza. Need a simple menu of a few things they do well. Hopefully they'll figure it out.
