35 Best Mexican Restaurants in Norfolk

“Stopped by for the first time today. Billio was extremely nice & walked us through the whole menu as four tv screens full of options can be overwhelming. There was no rush to make decisions, everything was cooked to order. Appreciate you guys!!“

“Vegan burrito was amazing! Lots of vegan options .“

“I LOVE EL RODEO. THEY ARE SO PERSONABLE AND INVITING. THIS IS MY FAVORITE MEXICAN RESTAURANT AND AT THIS POINT THEY ARE FAMILY.“

“Went 2 - 3 times last year. Good food and good service. I'd love to get their salsa receipe though. I enjoyed it a lot better than most.“

“Ate here last night. Food is delicious. They do nickel and dime a bit. $3.50 for tortilla chips. Most mexican restaurants serve them complementary. Refills are free but they just bring the chips and you have to ask if you need more condiments. I also was charged a $1.50 because I wanted my tacos Lola’s way. I don’t remember seeing additional $1.50 to have them made that way on the menu. Also, sign outside margueritas are $7 all day everyday but then we we charged $8 each because you had to pay $1 extra for the flavoring. All these lovely add ons add up and you are not aware until the bill comes. Lastly there was a man working behind the bar with a very long beard. Since long hair needs to be tied back - this beard should have been ponytailed, in a net or shaved off. After seeing that I almost threw up my meal and my drink that he prepared.“

“This spot is truly a hidden gem! The food was delicious and authentically prepared, with generous portions that hit the spot. The service was fast, friendly, and made the experience even better. Highly recommend dining here—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Great food and the drinks are simply amazing!“

“good food, been going there to eat for years“

“Decided to stop by yesterday and l order the Pupusas, they were phenomenal. Not greasy/oily as other places, had the ones with beans and the traditional cheese ones as well. Staff was friendly, got to meet the owner, definitely see my self stopping at least once a week here for lunch. delicious food and the horchata was on point too“

“The Spicy Fiesta Burrito is ridiculously good and it is truly quite spicy. I always get a side of both the green and red salsas and they are also perfect. This place is almost always busy and the indoors only seats maybe 10 people or so, so I always order mine carry out. Only complaint is that they will not make ANY modifications like adding cilantro, but Highly recommend!“

“Muy buen servicio Yadira Y muy rica comida“

“Wonderful experience! The service was top-notch and the food was delicious. The server was really patient with me since I was not too familiar with the menu items. I was even given recommendations from the young lady making my bowl. The food was delicious and there weren't too many add-ons like the other guys. I will definitely come here again.“

“Pelon’s burritos always deliver the freshest and juiciest burritos. My favorites are the Curl with fried shrimp added, Hawaiian pipeline with chicken, Hang Ten, and chips w/ guac or queso. Bring your stretchy pants because you will definitely enjoy the serving size and what other items you add to your meal. The location feels welcoming and spacious. There is plenty of parking, and they always handle the lines well.“

“This place was awesome! Great food, great service, great price! The guac appetizer was sooo good! For dessert I recommend the Spanish cake without being dipped in milk and cream. It was much less mushy and so good milk-less! Yum!“

“Had this place on my Food list for quite some time so big back me had decided to be the first person there when they open at 10 I ordered a breakfast burrito and Al Pastor taco I believe I’m met the owner there because he was training someone and he ended up blessing me with the practice taco so I even got more than what I expected, which is always a plusvery clean and quiet in there. It was nice you just order from the kiosk what you want“

“Amazing experience! Friendly wait staff and atmosphere. Food and drinks were wonderful you definitely will not leave there hungry and prices were very reasonable“

“Muy buena. Comida. Buen servicio“

“Really nice big restaurant. The food was really good and tasteful. I will definitely be back.“

“I love this place, the servers help one another so you don't just have your waiter but a couple other and the Manager even helps just to make sure everyone and everything is running smoothly. The food is great from the tacos to the fajitas to the drinks. I can say enough about Jose's“

“Our service and food was amazing. We were visiting family and took grandbaby to children museum and decided to eat nearby. Best decision we made. Would highly recommend!!!“

“Eating with friends! Everyone knows you! Friendly faces always!“

“I realize that it has been a long time since I have been here. so there was just me by myself and I ordered the nacho Supremes and sweet tea. the tea tasted like it was a day or two old. when I ordered the tea. I asked for additional ice. it did not come with additional ice. I then requested a glass of ice that I never received. I ended up drinking the water along with my nachos. the nachos were okay. The service stunk. on top of that the menu stated that's a nacho supreme was like 12,15, or 16 dollars or something like that. I was charged $20. I did however leave a cash tip on the table but I'm not even sure the waitress got that because I saw the bus boy pick it up and put it in his pocket. This may explain why I have not been there in some time And why I probably will not go back or recommend this place. There are too many Mexican restaurants in this area to deal with stuff like this in one restaurant.“

“Delicious dinner last night and the renovations are amazing 🤩“

“Un buen lugar muy limpio , excelente atención muy buena comida . 👌🏻“

“How is this place not rated five stars?! I’m not kidding we’ve lived in Hampton Roads for ten years and this is BY FAR the best Hispanic food in this area. The tortillas are absolutely mouth watering. We had a carne asada & chorizo burrito (probably one of the best burritos both my husband and I have ever tasted). Then I had the pozole and it was amazing, huge chunks of pork & super fresh. The star of the show was the papusas. The flavor was insane. The waitress was also probably the nicest waitress ever in the history of every single waitress I’ve ever had wait on me. This place is going to be our new go to. It’ll be worth the drive from southern Chesapeake.“

“Wow, where do I start?! I placed an online order and popped in before the estimated time of readines. The gentleman (Earl) running the register immediately acknowledged my presence without neglecting the customers before him and assured me that my order would be ready momentarily. He remained attentive throughout my brief wait, all while managing the register and assisting with other duties. Earl is the Epitome of what great customer service looks like. Please let him know that he is greatly appreciated!“

“I’ll admit it — I used to be a true-hearted Chipotle person. Fully loyal. No question about it. But after my experience today at Moe’s in downtown Norfolk, that chapter is officially closed.
From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, upbeat, and fun. The food was fresh, flavorful, and generous, but what completely won me over was the amazing service from Leslie — the phenomenal server with the puppy paw tattoo. When I jokingly told her I was a die-hard Chipotle fan, she smirked and said, “We don’t say the ‘C’ word here,” and that moment alone set the tone for an unforgettable experience. ( That SO needs to go on a t-shirt).
Leslie’s energy, humor, and genuine care instantly changed my mindset. She made the experience feel personal, fun, and welcoming — not just another fast-casual stop. Between her outstanding service and the quality of the food, I realized I didn’t miss Chipotle at all.
Moe’s has officially earned my loyalty. From now on, this is where my business is going. Exceptional food, phenomenal service, and people like Leslie who make you actually want to come back — that’s how you win customers for life.“

“This is disgruntled employee that has been posting slanderous and fictitious reviews on multiple sites. She has been contacted to cease and desist.“

“Amazing food fair price, unlike the other places here. The Mexican restaurant has good verity, I would recommend the bowels and only the burrito if you're on the go. Never get the tacos they aren't bad, but they are worth the price, and you get very little toppings and i don't think they make smaller tacos they could qualify for the record smallest for high cost. This restaurant is like a cheaper Chipotle for reference. Sushi place his is really over priced and the food is not fresh. I would normally recommend Subway because of the price, but they put little vegetables even if you ask for extra, and if you ask for light sauce, they pile it on.“

“I have been coming here for a long time. You can tell the clientele and workers are authentic Mexicans or Hispanics that enjoy real Hispanic food. I usually get my food to go, but today I decided to eat in the restaurant. I always get the tacos Carne Asada because it is the best Carne Asada I’ve ever had and all of hampton roads and I love Mexican food so I’ve eaten out pretty much every my same place that I can think of. A regular customer even suggested a dish that is similar to empanadas, but even better the pastry they used was flaky and crispy. Their Carne Asada is always flavor just right and very tender that you can just bite right through it and it’s melting your mouth. Their tortillas in their chips are also homemade, and you can tell them. I feel like this place was under the radar for a very long time, but you have to check this out as soon as you can!“

“Just because I gave only 1 reason why i should recommended this place is because its in my neighborhood. The person that put the food together should be more patient and explain the procedure a little nicer and be more patient for people whose first time customer. And the food quantity isn’t much for a big bowl. But I’ll give another chance if ever I’m in the market. Nothing large about that “large portion”“

“The food and service were all excellent! Highly recommend the green salsa!“

“I really like their chicken bowls with brown rice, black beans, fajita veggies, queso blanco, tomato and corn salsa with guacamole. They are quick with their orders and putting together the bowls people order. Fair price for the portion sizes, but I always gotta ask for a bit more brown rice and beans.“

“Do not order from this location. We placed an order for delivery through doordash. Our order arrived 20 minutes late and a good portion of our order was missing. I called the Moes location, and they admitted they forgot to give the rest of the order to doordash. But, they did not contact doordash, they did not contact me, they just threw the rest of the order out. The manager told me they do not offer refunds because it was ordered through a 3rd party. I said, it was not, it was ordered through the Moes website. She said, well, I have to contact doordash for a refund. The worst part of this... not that they screwed up the order, it was the fact they didn't even care. Didn't care enough to contact doordash to pick up the rest of the order, didn't care enough to contact me; didn't even care enough to ty to make it right. They actually asked me if I was willing to come pick up the rest of the order after they knew they already threw it out. Completely unacceptable. This is not the first time we have had issues with this location, but it will be the last. Do not order from this location.“

“My family and me are always happy with the food we get from here. We used to always get it for pick up, but we have recently been going to the restaurant to dine in. Always good service and good food. Good variety of dishes. A great family owned business.“
