" After seeing so many positive reviews, I had high hopes for Johnny Mañana's. While the restaurant itself was charming and the view was fantastic, my meal was a letdown. I had high expectations for their classic burrito, but it was rather bland. That said, the service was quick and attentive, which kept the experience afloat. I think I'd try it again, possibly for just drinks and appetizers next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a great find on the boardwalk! We stumbled upon Johnny Mañana's and loved every minute of it. The cocktails were delicious and strong, and the tacos were bursting with flavor. Service was friendly and efficient. We even got to enjoy some live music while eating our meals. I highly recommend this place for a casual beachy dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an okay experience at Johnny Mañana's. We visited in the afternoon and it wasn’t too crowded. The fish tacos were good, but I felt that they could've used a bit more seasoning. The service was friendly, yet they seemed overwhelmed with orders at times. The highlight was definitely sitting outside and enjoying the view. If you go, try to go during quieter hours for better service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great restaurant for families! My husband and I brought our kids for dinner, and it was perfect. They have a kid's menu, and the fried shrimp were a big hit. The atmosphere was relaxed and family-friendly. The only downside was the crowd, making service a bit slow, but overall a wonderful dining experience that we look forward to repeating! " (*Curated Review*)

" Johnny Mañana's has been my go-to place whenever I’m in Virginia Beach. The fish tacos are absolutely out of this world! I love that they use fresh ingredients, and the portions never disappoint. The service is top-notch as well; the staff always goes out of their way to be friendly and accommodating. You can't beat the beachfront dining experience either. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I expected more from this place after all the hype I heard. The view is stunning, but the food was quite average. I had the shrimp platter, which was decent but lacked any flair. The service was friendly, though, which I appreciated. On a nice day, it’s a good spot for drinks, but I wouldn't rave about the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" On a recent trip to Virginia Beach, we decided to check out Johnny Mañana's and were not disappointed. The view of the ocean from our table was beautiful, and the food was decent. I ordered the grilled shrimp tacos which were good but lacked a bit of flavor. The service was friendly, though a bit slow due to the crowd. Overall a pleasant experience, and I’d give it another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)
