Tequila Jalisco Mexican Grill - Shore Dr — Restaurant in Virginia Beach

I have never in my life seen food come out so fast that I didn't even have a sip of my drink yet We sat outside and the weather was beautiful that night our server was so nice and friendly he made sure we were content He listened to what I asked for due to my child having SPD if you don't know what that is it's called sensory processing disorder my child doesn't like the taste or texture of certain food so when asked to make sure that nothing but meat and cheese on a hard shell nothing else can be near or on the plate and it came out just asked thank goodness I order a carne asada with black beans and rice my sister had fajitas and the food was plentiful and delicious the drinks/sodas comes in a gigantic cup which is awesome don't have to wait or asked for another refill the server noticed we had a little accent we told him were from Mass and that we were celebrating a birthday and be left after our conversation and came back with a shot for my sista to have a birthday drink that was so thoughtful of him we thanked him for everything and making our last...

Rating a Mexican restaurant is always hard for me. My dad is Mexican. This is the food that I grew up eating at home and when we would go see my grandmother in Az or the extended family in Mexico. That said, I am always pleasantly surprised when I find a restaurant that reminds me of my childhood. This restaurant, though the owner is from a different state within Mexico then my family, the food is very similar. The margaritas are good. My wife’s piña colada was good too. The chips, I not sure if they were freshly made, but the salsa and spicy ranch were good. I had the chicken and stake fajitas and my wife had the combination plate of chicken quesadilla & beef taco. I should add that the refried beans didn’t disappoint - reminded me of what I grew up with. For dessert we had the flan (very good). The service was fast and friendly (also, I think our server was the owner - nice guy). Again, I was pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem. Gracias!

The food was served by another person. I tried their Mexican pizza which came with a side of guacamole and another of some white sauce. I also had a beef taco on the side. The date had a burrito of sorts smothered in queso and some other sauce.

The food was okay but not great. There was no zest to it. Taco Bell's recently returned Mexican pizza is much better. In fact I have to say I liked Guadalajara much better and not sure that I'll be back.

Oh, the check was delivered by a...
