Food was delish! Service w/ a smile. Fun atmosphere--loud but lots of energy for a mid-week night. Going back!

One of my favorite places in town! Definitely expect to wait unless you get there at opening, but it is always worth it. I have never been disappointed by their quesadilla of the day, and the nachos are incredible. I have food allergies and they have always been helpful and accommodating during each of my visits.

This place has consistently great food, awesome service and is a Charlottesville staple! One place I could send anyone and they always remember the food. Definitely one of my favorite spots in town! I always get the Santa Fe enchiladas and red hot blues. But the specials are always bomb.com Cocktails are always on point as well.

The best loud crowded place you've ever been. The staff are AMAZING and gave us some wonderful food. I got the tuna tostada and it was perfectly crispy and the tuna was tender and flavorful. The drinks are amazing and the people are even better.

Little and unassuming from the outside, it packs a punch on the inside. Large stone bar, and maybe ten booths/tables? Bar seating is first come, first serve, but to get a table, expect a wait and your whole party needs to be present. House margs are strong and the bartender is quick. Keep in mind this place gets packed but staff size doesn't change so they keep it little frills with the drink menu. Food is wonderful and portions are substantial. Prices are fair. Had the bean and cheese burrito and it came with a pumpkin muffin and rice, I didn't know I needed a pumpkin muffin with a burrito but I absolutely do! They have homemade hot sauces that are also delicious.

Hidden behind unassuming cinder-block walls, a folded paper menu with tape that's barely hanging on, and a green neon sign, saying "Get In Here" is Continental Divide. The food there is decent. I got the Santa Fe Enchilada and it was pretty filling. The real gold lies in their margaritas though. Like the aggressive sign, the alcohol menu is assertive in its wide range of tequilas. My friends and I tried the house brand. And holy sh*t Continental Divide's margaritas are the best in Charlottesville. They were so good that I just had to order another one. All I have to remember what happened after my second drink was a blurry picture that looks like it was taken on an iPhone 2. Safe to say, I had a gooddd night.

A small restaurant with big tastes! This place had a variety of options in the menu and the Thai chicken burrito was the best! Highly recommend the margs. We waited a while on a Thursday night for a seat but the food was worth the wait.

Came here with friends to sip on margaritas and grab dinner. We came on a Wednesday night at 6 pm and the restaurant was packed. All the seats at the bar were taken and there were people waiting for a table by the door.   I tried the House Margarita, Side Chips with Guacamole, Carnitas Tacos, Beef Tacos, and the Santa Fe Enchilada. The House Margarita was so good. It's definitely really strong, so I don't recommend doing what I did and drinking it on an empty stomach before eating-- they really hit me as I hadn't eaten since 9 am that day! The Carnitas Tacos were really good and my favorite dish of the night. The pork had a nice crispy texture, and the tacos were tasty and had a great balance of flavors with the seasoned pork, lime, and queso fresco. I would definitely get it again. I thought that the other dishes were standard. Good but not amazing Tex-Mex. I plan to come back for the margs, carnitas, and to try the other items on the menu.

The neon sign instructs you to "Get In Here" and it would behoove you to follow its directions!  Continental Divide is one of my favorite spots in Charlottesville. I haven't been back in some time, but I was relieved that the Tex-Mex grub is still fab, the house margaritas ($7.50) are still divine, and the servers are still cool. And the space is still snug. They do seat small parties in the giant booths though. Going early is often a wise idea.  I don't think you can really go wrong with anything on the menu, like the Santa Fe enchiladas ($12.50), a phenomenal slurry of chicken, cheese, sauce, and tortillas. The infamous pumpkin muffin comes as a side, along with rice and beans.  The only thing I didn't like previously was that smoking was allowed but now it's not so hooray. And parking can sometimes be a hassle though a space usually turns up somewhere not too far away after minimal searching. There's certainly a reason why the Divide has been around since 1994!
