    Fajitas

    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!

    We decided to treat ourselves to a Sunday brunch at Kreggers! They have a nice sized brunch menu,…read moregreat food concepts, great service and a fun atmosphere. Unfortunately, they miss big on depth of flavor. We ordered a few different items on the menu and almost all of them feel short when it came to the flavor profile. The star of the show was the maple potato wedges . They were cooked perfectly and coated with a sugary season blend.

    I stopped here for lunch with my mom after a nearby festival this summer. The restaurant, housed in…read morea strip mall, has plenty of space indoors and a nice patio too. We opted to sit indoors but near the patio, so there was a nice cross breeze. I ordered the popcorn to start and my mom ordered pretzel bites. Both were very good, and I was impressed with the amount of popcorn that arrived. So much! My mom ordered the wake n bacon and I ordered the rancher omelet. My mom raved about her meal, but I could barely stomach the omelet. It was SO bland. I immediately let our server know, and she let me swap for something else. I asked for the muffalletta, but they were out of stock, so instead I ordered the wake n bacon. I wouldn't rave about it like my mom did, but it was much better than the omelet. If I'm in Ashland, I'd consider a return trip sometime to try more of their menu. Prices were reasonable and service was friendly.

    I'm giving 3 stars but I would come back here because the food we ordered was delicious. I would…read morejust be sure to be very clear about the costs of everything and double check the bill and any takeout I get. 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.
