Eat Your Way Through HR: East Coast Tacos

Name: East Coast Tacos 

Location: Suffolk, VA

Day & Time Visited: Friday 7:00pm 

Type: Mexican 

Price: $$

Rating: B- 

Last Friday, the bf and I decided to conquer a place off of our Restaurant Bucket List. We decided on East Coast Tacos for an early Cinco de Mayo. 

The drive was about 25 minutes to downtown Suffolk, not bad. Plenty of parking on the next street, if you're into parallel parking... bless the bf for this one. Quick walk around the corner and you're there! 

The food was your normal, everyday mexican restaurant type stuff: chips and salsa, tacos, burritos, quesadillas, fajitas, etc. I ordered the tacos (I'm in search of the world's best taco) and the bf ordered a huge burrito. The only thing that really stuck out to me with the tacos was that the taco shell was unlike any other taco shell. It was thicker and I kind of liked it more than a normal, easy to break taco shell. The bf enjoyed his burrito but agreed that it wasn't amazing. Unlike most mexican restaurants, his burrito came solo dolo. Which for him is fine, he's not a fan of rice and beans. Personally, I think it makes the price tag worth it when it comes with a side. 

The price was okay. It ended up being around $30 for us (no alcohol or appetizers), which is more than we usually pay at our neighborhood mexican restaurant.  

Overall, we say this place was a B-. Everything about it was mediocre. Service, food, atmosphere, price... ehhh. It's not some place that we would drive all the way out there again for, but if we were already in the area and looking for a quick bite, we'd go. 

Hopefully you've enjoyed this review! Check back next week for the next episode of Eat Your Way Through Hampton Roads! If you know of a place that we should try, leave it in the comments below! Thanks for stopping by!
