" We were looking for a place to unwind after a hot day at the beach, and Johnny Mañana's was the perfect spot! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, with friendly staff and live music that made the evening even better. I tried their fish tacos, which were packed with flavor and embodied the authentic taste I was hoping for. The portion sizes were generous, leaving me feeling satisfied but not overly stuffed. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting the boardwalk! " (*Curated Review*)

" We decided to try Johnny Mañana's for a casual lunch, and it was a good choice! The burrito was hearty, though a little uninspired in flavor. The outdoor seating is a major plus, providing a great ocean view. The drinks, especially the margaritas, are definitely worth trying. Service could be improved, as we waited longer than expected for refills. " (*Curated Review*)

" Awesome experience at Johnny Mañana's! The outdoor vibe was electric, and the views of the beach were fantastic. We ordered the fish tacos based on recommendations, and they didn't disappoint. The flavors were vibrant and paired well with the house margaritas! Only downside was the wait time, but the atmosphere made up for it. Will return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Despite hearing mixed reviews, I decided to give Johnny Mañana's a shot. I was pleasantly surprised! The portions were generous, and the tacos had a delightful seasoning that made them flavorful. Our server was on point, suggesting drinks that paired nicely with our meals. It's also dog-friendly, which is a huge plus for us! Overall, a great experience worth repeating. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a beautiful evening we had at Johnny Mañana's! The live music created such a charming atmosphere, and we couldn’t have asked for a better view of the beach while we dined. My partner and I shared a couple of different tacos, and they were honestly some of the best I've tried outside of Mexico! The service was attentive, and we never felt rushed. This place is such a gem! " (*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*)
