35 Best Mexican Restaurants in Norfolk

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

“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!!“

“I had lunch here yesterday! The food and margaritas were great! I’m a Texas girl and love Mexican food! This is my new go to place for Mexican. Service, food, and margaritas are top notch!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Excellent Food,service and prices! i highly recommend“

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

“The food is delicious and the price is awesome. Used to go here during college (Go ODU) and still love this spot. I definitely recommend this place for a Mexican night out.“

“I love going there the workers are very nice very polite and I know a lot of the waitresses and waiters“

“Discovered this place on yelp while looking for libations in the area… it is perfect! Low-key & casual; Even at its busiest the noise level was pleasant. There is an ample selection of tasty food and even better drinks. The staff was friendly & helpful- addressing every inquiry while choosing a mezcal. They have the best tequila selection I’ve come across so far (many additive free options). I’ve already recommended it to anyone who will listen ? and I will definitely return as well.“

“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.“

“Me encantó! Es el primer sitio mexicano al que vamos entre Virginia Beach & Norfolk que tiene un buen ambiente, música alegre pero no escandalosa, buen servicio y comida deliciosa! Súper recomendado, sobre todo si el clima te permite comer afuera! Lo único recomendaría es que tuvieran velas o ventiladores para mantener lls miscos fuera de la mesa! I loved! It's the first Mexican place we go to between Virginia Beach & Norfolk that has a good atmosphere, happy but not loud music, good service and delicious food! Super recommended, especially if the weather allows you to eat outside! The only thing I would recommend is that they have candles or fans to keep the miscos off the table!“

“Beef corn tacos are the BOMB. Salsa and Queso both were spectacular. If you are in the area do yourself a favor and check it out. Service was excellent with several different servers asking if we wanted or needed anything. My understanding is that they are all family. If so they work together well“

“Phenomenal experience! Food was perfect, service was friendly and professional. Fajitas and house margaritas were both incredible. I’d HIGHLY recommend visiting this little Norfolk gem. 5 out of 5 stars!“

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

“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!“

“The Carnitas are very tender and the crab and shrimp quesadilla is amazing“

“Always a great meal!! Ask for the Habanero hot sauce!!!“

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

“Excellent Latino food and the staff and is extremely friendly. The food is absolutely out of this world. If you love Latino food this the place to go. The restaurant is a small (only 8 seats) family restaurant. The staff is so friendly and always smiling. Go in give them opportunity to put a smile on your face the way they did mine. Hope everyone enjoys. They have breakfast dishes as well.“

“Very rarely do I leave a review, but this place DESERVES to be reviewed AND visited. Service is extremely friendly and welcoming. As for the tacos...simply WOW!!! Anyone who enjoys a good taco absolutely NEEDS to visit here. Doesn't matter which tacos you get...they are all amazing.I only caution that you use the red salsa sparingly IF you don't like things overly spicy. It definitely caught me by surprise. Not complaining one bit; simply stating that I was NOT prepared.10 out of 10 WILL VISIT AGAIN!!!“

“Definitely happy to have found this place, it’s authentic, great vibes, music and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious, the owner and I spoke about family and buisness. Worth coming to enjoy some delicious Hispanic foods ? starting the new year with an amazing dinner!“

“They don't have Taco Tuesday deals, but the tacos were soooo good! I had tripa, carnitas & barbacoa. We were the last customers that evening as we arrived at 7:40pm & they graciously took our to-go orders. Best tacos in Norfolk!“

“This is not your every day taco truck! Amazing Elote, Pupusas, tacos and I could go on! Cooked as you wait and always delicious. Not far from the Airport and Botanical Gardens. Can’t wait for the next visit!“

“Muy buena. Comida. Buen servicio“

“Ah Qdoba, how much I love you more than Chipottyle.Had the brisket birria, with rice and pinto beans, spicy queso, spicy sauce, guacamole and jalapeños.Giant burrito, wonderfully flavored, seasoned well. Still not so spicy, but a lot of food in Virginia lacks heat. Trusty bottles of Cholula there to help out.Staff was very nice. Helpful as well.“

“Calidad excelente servicio amabilidad“

“Food was real good only problem what there was no bartender so we were unable to get Margaritas mixed drink love a good drink with my Mexican specially after a rough day. Service is fast they are open for dine everything has good flavor the lighting's a little dim makes it hard to read the menu but still a nice atmosphere but definitely go back hopefully there's a bartender keep up the good work I'll only give you four stars cuz I really want to drink me and my wife“

“Good was great and loved the music playing.I will enjoy going back.“

“The food is pretty good but also not a lot to pick some of them can be disgusting or can be much more better and comfortable. The service is actually good! Not a lot is there but only thing is sometimes it's just complex. The atmosphere is pretty also great too. I can't describe too much about it. And it's also very empty so I couldn't ask much.Parking: A lot of spots! Maybe like 35 there. It's not too hard. They can sometimes just take you're spot. Which is the stupid part.“
