" Dining at Jessy's was an overall delightful experience! I loved the margaritas and the tacos were perfection. They truly nailed the authentic flavors. However, navigating the busy periods seemed challenging for the staff, leading to delays in service. Despite that, the food's quality makes up for some bumps in service speed. I will definitely return for more great tacos and perhaps try a few other items next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had such a mixed experience at Jessy's Taco Bistro. The food arrived promptly, and I must admit, the tacos were some of the best I've ever had. They were loaded with fresh ingredients and bright flavors. However, our server seemed distracted and forgot to bring my drink. The atmosphere was cheerful, though, and really set the mood for a great dining experience, despite the service hiccup. I think I would give it another try but hope to see an improvement in the staff's attentiveness next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my go-to spot whenever I crave tacos! They never disappoint! The flavors are authentic and unparalleled by other places in town. I often grab the birria tacos and have yet to find a better version. However, there were moments where service could've been snappier. The busy ambiance feels exciting but sometimes overwhelming. Regardless, food-wise, they always satisfy! " (*Curated Review*)

" Jessy's Taco Bistro quickly became one of my favorite Mexican spots! The dishes taste authentic, and it feels like a little slice of Mexico in Norfolk. I dined with friends, and we enjoyed sharing different tacos and guacamole—not to mention their impressive drink menu! Most refreshing! However, the service was a little slow, and we had a hard time getting the attention of our server. All in all, I'll happily return! " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance was inviting with colorful decor and lively music. I ordered their signature tacos and was impressed by the authenticity. The flavors transported me straight to Mexico! However, I didn’t find the service to be consistent; our server was lovely, but they seemed overwhelmed during peak hours. It took longer than expected for us to get our food, and we weren’t offered chips and salsa, which was disappointing. Despite the hiccup with service, I highly recommend the food here—just be prepared for a bit of a wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, where do I start? Jessy's Taco Bistro exceeded my expectations on every front! I had the chicken torta and it was bursting with flavor, accompanied by fresh guacamole that was out of this world! The service was welcoming and attentive without being intrusive, which is hard to find. The atmosphere was lively and bright, making it a great place for a casual outing with friends or family. I can't recommend it enough! Just make sure to come hungry—there’s plenty to savor! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Jessy's with my coworkers after hearing many good things. The food was great; I had the shrimp tacos, and they were bursting with flavor. Still, the service was slow, our drinks never came until we reminded them after finishing our food. It’s a shame because the tastes were exceptional. I hope they can improve their service, as it felt like they were busy but not focused. I would return for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)
