The Soup and Taco 2

"I'll leave the same review for both locations since they are both EXCELLENT! One is on Caroline Street right downtown and the second is on William St (right across from Freddy Donuts which is also awesomeness!) Both spots are little hole-in-the-wall restaurants which are generally my favorite. They both have indoor seating, seasonal outdoor seating, and a full bar. ANY spot that serves Mexican fare has to start with chips and salsa on the table and they do! Solid salsa too! Now the soup: Tried the tortilla soup. DELICIOUS! The Tacos: You get TWO per order. I messed up the first visit and got WAY too many. They have a choice of flour or corn tortillas. I have not tried the corn option but the flour is big enough that two tacos will FILL you up! The Rice and Beans: I need to figure out how to make pinto beans the way they do. They serve a lot of their platters with a side of rice and beans. These are not smashed beans, these are delicious, homemade pintos. The beans and rice are seasoned perfectly and come out HOT! The Burritos: Seasoning is great! Like on POINT! Not the most gargantuan I have ever had but they are PACKED with fresh ingredients and the flavor is fantastic. The servers are attentive as well. We will be back for sure!"

"Went for lunch a few days ago, and we sat outside because it was beautiful out. The food was really, really good, but the service left something to be desired. Our waiter barely talked to us aside from taking the order. Being that it’s downtown,we had to park offsite, but that’s OK that comes was going to a downtown restaurant."

"Decided to check them out as a family for dinner. Service was great and quick. Tried a few items from their appetizers menu and some soups (black bean and clam chowder). Everything was delicious. Definitely recommend it, and we will be back"

"We stopped by and I finally tried this spot and wish I had sooner. The crab soup special was amazing - to be expected I guess with soup in the name but it was just so well done. Lots of classic and innovative Hispanic food - give it a shot you won't be sad. Nice spot to sit outside and plenty of indoor space."

"I love the tacos here! We ordered our food to go and enjoyed a margarita and a beer on the outside patio as we waited. They have very friendly staff and make a good drink. The food is terrific and filled with awesome flavor, yet simple and easy for a quick snack or a fulfilling lunch/dinner. The location seems perfect for walking from the UMW or from the downtown. It’s away from the crowds and across the street from Freddy Doughnuts. They have plenty of locals and foot traffic to make up for the lack of a parking lot. Inside is cozy and there is also a small bar. We preferred to sit outside under an umbrella and we had a puppy with us. This is a great local gem and I highly recommend a visit."
