La Marina

The chicken was the best I've ever had a Mexican restaurant! Shrimp was great!! Rice was good as well. Cheese dip was average, salsa tasted like it had poured out of a jar from the store. Service was terrible. Though I have to say for the amount of servers I could tell some were at least trying. Just inside I counted 9 tables occupied, one table had 12 people. I think there was one 1 waitress & 2 guys helping her, another waitress had outside tables (she sat around alot while we were there & there were customers seated at the tables outside.) Overall it was ok. We may be back. Hopefully the service will be better next time as that was the biggest issue. Pictured was the Leesburg special & a seafood dish with fish, shrimp & crab. We also ordered rice & cheese dip

We had been sitting in our booth for nearly 20 minutes and still no waitress came to our table. I had to end up asking for someone to come wait on us. Two tables that came in after us were waited on before us. The staff had no idea who was supposed to waitress in that area. I usually have the best experience when I go, but definitely not this time.

I ordered at this places with a group of people from work. The owner was working the phone and overcharged every single one of us. A chicken and rice, taco salad, and 2 drinks was 39$. The owner also charged one us 24$ for a taco salad. None of these prices were accurate to what the were online or on the menu. After talking to the owner for 20 minutes on the phone he stated that we were wrong and he never makes mistakes. I will not eat at this place again. Apparently this happens to a lot of people who eat here.

The entrance was very interesting with some authentic Mexican Decor. Ample parking. Clean inside. The staff as very attentive and personable. There was a toddler running in and out of the kitchen and our owner/server spent time chasing him and carrying him back into the kitchen. Flaming Cheese, $14.99 I always order this if it is on the menu. It is my favorite dish and I’ve had it is many Mexican restaurants. Nice thick layer of gooey sizzling cheese with tender sliced steak, peppers and onions all sautéed to perfection with just the right amount of juices running around the edges. Three tortillas a little guacamole and pico on the side. Well this wasn’t that. $14.99 The steak was tough, it was added to the vegetables put directly on a skillet soaking in a puddle of water with partially melted cheese sprinkled on top. I have never seen Flaming Cheese this messed up before. This came with a huge plate of everything almost another meal. I considered it over kill. I wouldn’t order this again. Chili Marina this was beef tips in chili sauce made as spicy as you like. Mild is still a bit spicy. Very good taste. When we went to pay the manager/server apologized and did say “sorry good sometime, not good sometime” so we will probably go back a try something else.

We came to try out this restaurant because we come up to our lake camper here and we were more than disappointed. Coming in, no one let us know where to sit, we had to find someone and ask. It wasn’t that crowded but several tables were full of dirty dishes. We were told to sit where we wanted so we did and waited probably 15 mins for a server to come. Everyone who works here looks like a teenager and couldn’t find anyone who looked to be in charge. We had to get up to get menus, silverware, it was ridiculous. When the food came it wasn’t bad at all, it was pretty good. The loud speakers playing a song with a mix of Spanish and English blaring a song with the f word and also the word that rhymes With hussy…. My 5 year old sitting at the table. That’s unacceptable for a family restaurant. Overall the service and experience was a -1 and the food a 3. We will not be coming again.

The ambience is fantastic and the service is quick and friendly with genuine smiles. But the food??? 98% tasteless, as if they use absolutely no seasonings at all. Not only no cumin (I’ve never even heard of Mexican food that doesn’t use cumin) but not even the simple basic seasonings like salt and pepper. The only thing with any flavor to it was the salsa, which merely tasted like spicy tomatoes. I ate a few bites but it really wasn’t worth the effort. I won’t be returning. Regardless of what type of food a restaurant serves, they should not forget to add the flavors to the dish that they are preparing.
