25 Best Mexican Restaurants near Poquoson

“Stopped here after church and it was busy but we got seated right away. Food was good and atmosphere was nice. It seems a little pricey at first but then you get a generous portion of food. We had the fish and chips, brunch Benedict, rodeo burger and BLT. All great dishes but my favorite was the onion rings!“

“We really enjoyed our dinner at Chiri's Latin Kitchen!!! My kids got the carne asada and picadillo tacos and absolutely loved them both! The salsa was yummy and super fresh tasting! My husband and I shared the special and we all left with happy bellies! The wait staff was very friendly and all took turns checking on the tables. The owner even came by to see how we were enjoying our meals! Defiantly- will be coming back!“

“When you first walk into El Rancho, it has the typical Mexican decorative flare, with bright colors and walls textured to look like stucco. Depending on the day of the week and time you arrive, you may have to wait, but it's never for very long. (Don't even try to get into the parking lot on the evening of the Poquoson Christmas parade!) Seating is somewhat comfortable. The tables and backs of the booths are painted with beautiful scenes. The chips and salsa are wonderful, but most of the time I have to ask for the white salsa. The wait staff is very friendly, but whatever you need, you should ask for when you order your meal because you may not see the wait staff again for a while. I'm one of those people who likes having both rice and beans, but here you have to order one or the other with your meal. The food is somewhat bland compared to other area restaurants. The fajitas need a bit more flavor. And as far as pricing goes, it's probably just above average for a Mexican restaurant. I don't know how good their alcoholic beverages are because I've never had one.“

“Such a unique restaurant with good food and vibes throughout. I came here because of Hampton's restaurant week and literally had no expectations. The food is really good, the owners are nice and attentive and leave you feeling like you're more than just a customer. Wifey and I will definitely be back to chop it up and try more things on the menu. The steak and cheese & chips and salsa is ? ?.“

“Seriously one of our best Mexican restaurant visit. Oysters and ceviche was one of the best dishes my wife and I have ever eaten. No sweet tea. But they had 2 other drinks that'll make up for it. Every dish we had was perfectly seasoned and cooked. We visited the local NASA facilty. The locals have a great place to eat.“

“BLUF: A hidden gem in Hampton . This restaurant exceeded my expectations , and for Virginia Mexican food , this is an absolutely four stars . Good ambience, clean restaurant, great service and good tasting food all combined into one.The restaurant rating is 4/5 based on Virginia overall taste . In comparison to other Mexican restaurants in the U.S. I would rate this a 3.5 but for this area, this restaurant is the top dog . Many menu options and good atmosphere. A good choice for a night out if you are craving Mexican.Parking: Open parking , small walking distance to restaurant .Kid-friendliness: Big menu with different options , from simple to complex tastes. Sorry no chicken nuggets .“

“I read a few reviews and must say that our experience echos them. The finest food served in less than 10 mins right at the busiest dinner hour. Raul was very attentive yet every staff member that pass by, stopped to ask if we needed anything. I've never experience such team work at a restaurant- most waiters are focused solely on there section at other restaurants NOT HERE - EVERYONE IS PLEASANT AND READY TO HELP SERVE YOU.We'll be back & if your smart you'll stop in too.“

“I have tried nearly every Mexican restaurant in the area, in hopes of finding a good, crunchy Chimichanga ... this place is the winner for best Chimichanga! I also love the Tomatillo sauce for dipping ... fantastic! However, having said that my last experience was not so pleasant. Our server was not attentive at all .... AGAIN!. And were not offered free refills after returning with our checks. We were not even asked how the food was. The place was not crowded, so this should not have been an issue. I'm very disappointed in the customer service.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian offerings!Wheelchair accessibility: Parking is convenient and maneuverability is good.“

“4.7⭐️This place was surprisingly very good!We used to live in Hampton and I’ve driven past this place entirely too many times. We were in the area and decided to try it. VERY GOOD! I got the Enchiladas Poblanos, and my husband got the carne asada plate. Everything was great! But wow those enchiladas were on the spicy side. I wasn’t expecting that at all.? I finished most of my plate still though! That food was that good. And the staff were all super nice! We will definitely be going back to try more. Highly recommend.“

“Love coming here, perfect for family gatherings. Different, they have things on the menu you don’t see elsewhere, my favorite is the seafood tower they make it how I like it just right delicious and for dessert tress leches cake ? it was delicious I recommend it ? My son had the tacos De lengua he loved them. Service is great too. Came here last night for karaoke it was fun. Seeing people sing was entertaining my 7-year-old was braver enough to get up stage and sing and loved it ?♥️ ?“

“Best Taco/Burrito place in Hampton, Hands down!!! Food came super fast, hot and delicious. The name Stuft describe the portion size. Trust you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend the chicken pineapple bacon burrito or the steak tacos... soooooo delicious. Summer the server rocks and very pleasant. She has a beautiful smile and personality. Great date night, lunch spot, or even just because you're hungry.Also, the prices are fantastic.When you go please tell them I said hello!!!“

“La Fiesta is my new "go to" for Mexican Food. I had the aroze con camarone and a tamale but all the dishes I saw looked wonderful! The top shelf margarita was great as well. The staff were attentive and very welcoming. I can't wait to go back! Thank you for a great experience!“

“I’ve been coming here for years and it’s always been great. Tonight I had the chicken and shrimp fajitas and was impressed with the portion size. It was delicious!I thought it felt like things were missing and realized when I got home it’s because there wasn’t rice and beans on one plate with the lettuce, tomato and guac on the side or even on a separate plate. This time it was just beans no rice on the same plate as lettuce, tomato and guac. Would have been great with cheese but it was delicious without it.I will continue to recommend this place because the food is always good and the staff is very welcoming.Dietary restrictions: I don’t eat beef or pork and love that there are plenty of foods I can choose from that taste good. They have many different shrimp and chicken options. Even vegetarian options.“

“Absolutely enjoyed my time.I normally have low expectations with American Mexican restaurants but Juan’s surprised me. Very happy with my experienceParking: Easy to park, have to walk to restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly food options“

“Great place! Ample portions, fair pricing. We went early on a Saturday night, and the place was bustling at 5:30! That tells me that a lot of people like it there!Vegetarian options: You can get almost any dish without meat. Plenty of cheese, rice and beans options.Parking: Shared parking with the neighboring shops in the shopping center. Have never had a parking problem here.“

“First time being in a Qdoba. Ordered a steak burrito, bunch of stuff inside from the array of choices. The "spicy" sauce is not Southwestern spicy, but they have Cholula for some help.I liked the burrito but maybe a bit underseasoned; I like my food with some salt. Comfy booths, pleasant decor--I can see why they're chomping into Chipotle's market share.There wasn't a receptacle for glass, so I left my Jarrito's bottle on top of the rubbish area.Nice people. Cheery, helpful folks.I'd go to another Qdoba after this experience. Definitely go back to that location if I'm in Hampton.“

“Vegetarian options: Clear vegetarian menu section and vegetarian dishesParking: Around the building parking and a big parking lot not far, and just across from the restaurant that you can park in also.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu with quite a few dishes, and of course coloring pages and crayons are given.“

“Server seemed a bit pushy tonight, not normal based on my previous visits. My 3rd choice of the three Mexican Restaurants in the Yorktown area. 24 Feb 22, Lunch today was very good, no issues with the service. 7 Sep 22, Excellent lunch with very good service.“

“As a tourist, it was incredible to experience what has been described to me as the "757" culture. The atmosphere was great, if a little too loud for my taste, but the people were very nice and really there to have a great time.Food and drinks were really good too. I recommend a Birria Burrito to anyone that wants to try it, alongside their delicious crab dip with tortilla chips.“

“As a fan of Mexican food, this place is very reliable. Their tacos are great, tamales a little dry but good. Margaritas are amazing and they really do pack a punch, and their beers are ice cold. Service is good, and at night on weekends they play loud music which I loved. Great atmosphere.Parking: Free parking garage or if you’re lucky right outside on the streetKid-friendliness: Little ones love the music“

“This is the first time I have gone to this location and the experience was pleasant. I am not sure if this is contributed to Teyanna, but since she has been there, it is definitely much better. The other shift manager was always on her phone, never greeted you, never made sure the food was hot and fresh, display was always a mess and her facial expression always made you feel like she preferred you eat elsewhere. Thank you Teyanna for contributing to my experience today!“

“Went with a friend for lunch today. I had the birria tacos and he had a torta al pastor. The server didn't seem to speak English but we managed. The birria tacos were absolutely amazing and I can't wait to go back. Unfortunately my buddy believes he received carne asada in his torta vs the al pastor he asked for.“

“Dining room furniture uncomfortable. Was better before remodeling that took place during 2023.Wheelchair accessibility: Driveway is VERY steep and falls to offer pedestrians or wheelchair users room to stay clear of auto traffic entering from busy highway. No walkway connection between public sidewalk and location's entrances.“

“When walked in we were sat immediately, they took the order as soon after (we'd already looked at the menu online kinda knew what we wanted) and the food was out probably 10 or 15 min later. The food was really good. The chips n salsa was actually good too. The overall environment was relatively quiet, although it was the start of their busy hour (probably the first of 3 or 4 people there for the time of day“

“Wow.Every time I have visited this establishment I always walk in with a great mood and leave even happier because of the energy; service and atmosphere all in one.The food is phenomenal.. the management and workers are even better. 10/10.. definitely recommend. Lori.. you are doing a fantastic job.“
