    While living in Europe the only foods I miss are Pelon's and Trader Joe's. The first thing I do when I get back to VB is head to Pelon's for carnitas tacos and maybe a side ofcarne asada fries to share. Everything bc smothered in salsa verde. Taco Tuesday at 6p for $2.50 tacos (or happy hour for $9 margaritas) is where you'll find me.

    While staying nearby in VA Beach I stopped in one evening for tacos for dinner. The place was packed and there was a line with about 10 people in it when I went in, but it only took about 10 mins to get to the register. They have a deal on Monday where you get three of their fish tacos for $9, but you can't add anything to them or make any sort of modification. The tacos took about 10 mins to be made and brought out to my table and they looked rather messy, with one having had the topping slid off. The flavor of the tacos was great though! The fish was perfectly fried and tasted fresh and all the topping were excellent! Service here is rather a pain, they seem to act like they're popular and you just need to deal with the service you get. If the service was better, I'd give it 5 stars.

    To go order of 3-Chicken Tacos

    My wife got takeout from the General Booth Boulevard location. The chicken tacos were very disappointing. There were no discernible spices on the chicken, not even salt, and the chicken was very dry, covered by a thin layer of shredded cheese and a giant pile of shredded iceberg lettuce. I was pretty hungry, so I made it through about one and a half of the three tacos before I gave up.

    Carne Asada Fries, Shrimp Tacos

    This is still my favorite place to eat in VA Beach. We come to the beach every summer and every summer we eat at Pelon's. They have the best fish and shrimp tacos and the carne asada fries are KILLER! We mainly come during the happy hour time to try to beat the dinner rush, and enjoy the good deals on the tacos. Their burritos are huge and the vibe is great and what you're looking for when you come to the beach.

    It was a beautiful Saturday in October and the day was screaming Fish Tacos. So I went. Just me.....super quick visit for just fish tacos. It was busy inside but I decided to sit outside. I knew what I wanted so it all was quick. Stood in line, ordered, paid and got my number. I sat outside and enjoyed the weather. My 2 fish tacos were delivered and I enjoyed every bite. Sooo good. The sauce, the corn tortillas.... I even like the finely sliced lettuce. Exactly what I wanted. Also....water is self serve. Like everything today it is more expensive but if you can hit up happy hour or their daily specials....definitely less expensive

    A little pricy, but the food was tasty. We stopped in randomly and decided to give it a try. The chorizo tacos were very good and had great flavor. The nachos were also good. Fast service, and friendly atmosphere. Price was a bit high, but this is a tourist area, so it was expected.

    We decided to try this place for dinner. We wanted a spot we could walk to and this place had good reviews, so we tried it. We happened to be there when they were offering a taco special, so each got two tacos. My husband got fish tacos and I got shrimp tacos. The tortillas are piled with the fillings, so you get something with each bite. When we arrived, there was a line but did not have to wait long to order. After ordering, our drinks were brought to us quickly and not long after that we got our tacos. We enjoyed the food and casual vibe of the place.

    Trio Chips & Dip do not get the salsa! It was horrible but Guacamole and cheese dip good
    Caroline J.

    Sadly this place bas gone downhill since our last visit 4 years ago! Was looking forward to some awesome fish tacos after a day at the beach and was very disappointed. Fish did not taste fresh or was nice and crunchy. No flavor either with the salsa or Baja sauce. The dip trio was good beside the salsa! Seriously the salsa was the worst I have ever had. It tasted like pickles and was watery. Guacamole and cheese dip as well as the chips were tasty. Margarita also tasted watered down. Very disappointing dining experience.

    Three tacos for $8?! That's what you can get on Happy Hour (I think 3-6). They all have to be the same taco is the only downfall. I chose carnitas, and they were so good. I also got a small chips & salsa, and it was definitely enough to go around between the three of us.

We ordered nachos and queso and the cheese was good but not nearly enough for the amount of chips we were provided. My friend also asked for sour cream and that came out with the dinners we ordered when she wanted it for the nacho chips. I got the shrimp tacos and they were fine but two tacos was not even remotely filling. My meal came with nachos so the decision was made to order more cheese which is totally over priced at $5.99 that came I'm a small plastic ramekin-highway robbery if you ask me! My friend had ordered a pulled pork sandwhich that was supposed to come with coleslaw and didn't. Our server was missing in action that we flagged down another server who went and got the Cole slaw that should have come with her meal. Please do better next time, although I have no desire to return if I'm being totally honest.

The food here is not only healthy but also incredibly delicious. We will be back!

I'm a chef myself and travel to different restaurants regularly, so I try to be understanding. That said, the service we experienced yesterday at Stock Pot was unfortunately some of the worst I've had in quite a while. We sat outside, and it honestly felt like we were being deliberately ignored. The restaurant wasn't busy, yet we had to wait long stretches just to get basic things. At one point near the end of our meal, we asked for a box and our check. Instead of bringing it over, the waitresses stood around talking with other waitresses, while we continued to wait. After sitting there for quite a while, we eventually had to ask for the check and box, a second time. Throughout the meal the service was inconsistent. We had three different waitresses checking on us, but were left to sit for about 30 minutes alone at one point, and it took almost 20 to have our order taken, once we ordered, we had to request our appetizer again, after waiting another 20 or so minutes. Upon asking, again, we found out they were out of part of the appetizer we ordered. After that it came out quick. The food, however, was excellent and definitely the highlight of the experience. That's why this review is disappointing to write -- the kitchen is clearly doing a great job. I just hope the service side improves, because it didn't match the quality of the food.
