    Tacos are on the smaller side, like Bar Taco style, probably around the same price point, but with a *slightly* more authentic feel. Would recommend getting at least 3 tacos! My favorites were the lengua and crispy shrimp tacos. Lengua is a new menu item, very tender and soft. And the crispy shrimp has a great crunch and juiciness! The al pastor was okay, but I did find it a bit too greasy (?) - the juices were enough to soak through both corn tortillas...

    Overall the food was decent. The adobo could've stood bit more seasoning. The elote had good flavor overall, however the corn tasted overcooked. The service was pleasant. The restaurant itself was har a cool vibe. The place nice and clean.

    Birria tacos. Delicious tacos!

    Birriria tacos were delicious. Great service and ambiance! This was my first time there. I will definitely be going there again.

    Guac & Chips
    Kristyn F.

    Went for lunch and happily surprised they serve breakfast all day! The guac & chips are on point - fresh guac and the chips were warm. Wonderful start to the meal. The burrito was wonderful, potatoes and black beans complimented the cheese and eggs. Their self serve sauces are all good - from mild to spicy, they have one for every taste bud. If you like good food, go!

    This is your typical taco joint. They have all the things would expect. Taco Tuesday is a great deal. The guac and chips were pretty good, the sauces, the mild and the hot both were pretty good. Had the taco Birria special, which was quite delicious. I also tried the Korean beef taco, which was good, although, I would rather have tried something different. All in all, not a bad place to grab a quick taco on the way home or a while you're drinking in the afternoon. I'll be back.

    Since it was Tuesday, I figured why not take advantage of Taco Tuesday at Bandit Taco. The inside is spacious, with colorful chairs and a bit of an industrial feel. They had three tacos to choose from at $2.50 each. The three varieties were; Adobo Chicken, Chorizo and Mushroom. Additionally, they have more tacos, burritos, quesadillas and so much more. I got two mushroom tacos. They are small, but packed with plenty of flavor. My tacos had; corn, peppers, cilantro, scallions and seasoning. They were ready very quickly. They arrived on a tray with a lime wedge. These tacos are very tasty, with the right amount of oomph seasoning, and the texture from the scallions. They are small, I don't think they are worth any more than the Taco Tuesday price of $2.50. If you're in the area on a Tuesday, I would totally check out Bandit Taco.

    Tacos were amazing! My favorite was the mushroom taco super flavored. The corn was good as well.

    Birria Tacos

    After catching a movie, we wanted to grab a bite to eat in the area. It's conveniently located right outside the theatre so it worked out perfectly! It turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The food was tasty and reasonable prices. I got the birria tacos which I enjoyed and my kids shared the chicken quesadilla and they loved it. I probably wouldn't order the queso again though.

    Delicious food. The taco prices were reasonable. Pro tip: Pay in cash so you can avoid the awkwardness when they flip that screen over asking for a 35% tip. The Barbacoa quesadilla was fantastic, and very filling. Parking on the street is really tough during the day, but there's a garage around the corner.

    We love this place and go several times a month. It's perfect spot to grab dinner before going to a movie too. Have tried several different taco proteins but my personal favorite is the chorizo tacos. I've seen a few reviews complaining about price but these tacos are packed full of meat and since they double up on the corn tortilla you could make 2 tacos out of the amount of meat they give you. I also love their street corn (it is whole cob on a stick) and queso and chips. The guacamole isn't bad either though I find it a bit under seasoned for my taste. I love the hibiscus drink they have and they have Mexican coke bottles which I'm a sucker for. Last time I went I got the Birria Taco Special and I hope it never leaves the menu because I'm now officially obsessed. It's a decent size space and we've never had an issue getting a seat. They have some communal tables too which is cool. You can also grab to go and walk down block to tables near center of shopping complex. Staff has always been polite and food has always been made fresh to order and comes out hot.

    We went back and the place was not very crowded - we ordered and the food arrived in less than 10 minutes, but the problem from the past has continued as the food is still very meager and really not worth the $12 per bowl. I guess this is best if you want an occasional change of flavor from chipotle, otherwise it really can't compete with them both on quality and quantity.

    Service was great and the Birria tacos were excellent! Very nice ambiance and all the employees…read morewere very friendly.

    I rate restaurants within their category and concept. I am not comparing a neighborhood Mexican…read morerestaurant to a Michelin star fine dining experience. If a place delivers quality food, represents its cuisine well, and exceeds expectations for its setting, that earns a high rating from me. We recently visited Casa De Avila in Leesburg, and I have to start with the horchata because it was truly the star of the meal. I am of Mexican heritage, my mom is Mexican, and I grew up drinking homemade horchata. This one tasted just like it should. It was creamy, clearly made with milk and condensed milk, with that soft sweetness and a gentle hint of cinnamon. It honestly tasted homemade, and that alone made me smile. Now, it is hard for me personally to give most Mexican restaurants 5 stars, and that has more to do with my background than the restaurant itself. I was born and raised in Los Angeles and grew up eating incredible home cooking from my mom, who is an amazing cook. That naturally shapes my expectations. In the DMV area, it has been tough to find truly authentic Mexican flavors. With the exception of La Jarochita, and Mancha Cocina Mexicana, which is more elevated but very well done, good Mexican food can be hard to come by here. All that said, Casa De Avila serves very good food and is probably the best I have found in this category locally. The sopes were made fresh, which makes a huge difference in both flavor and texture. The tacos were solid overall. The asada was very good, well seasoned and flavorful. The al pastor was good, but it did not quite have that deep, traditional flavor you get from proper trompo style preparation. The esquites were also tasty, and the kids loved that they added hot Cheetos. That is a trend we saw in Los Angeles years ago, so it felt fun and nostalgic to see it here. If I could offer one suggestion, it would be about the salsa. The salsa served tasted more like a bottled style Mexican salsa. I would love to see a true house made salsa roja or salsa verde, the kind where you char the tomatoes, tomatillos, chiles, and onions before blending. That deep roasted flavor is such a big part of authentic Mexican cooking and would elevate the whole experience even more. The service was amazing from start to finish. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and the staff really helped make the experience even better. Overall, Casa De Avila is doing a lot right. The food is flavorful, the horchata is exceptional, and it stands out in an area where good Mexican food is not easy to find. While my personal background makes me a tough critic, this is still a place I would happily return to. A solid 4 stars.

Then while driving around that gas station looking for a spot to park, I smelled some amazing Pollo a La Brassa and saw La Chocita behind the gas station. That smelled drew me in! The folks inside were friendly and sat me promptly. I ordered a quarter chicken and she immediately told me she didn't have any chicken today (I think she meant not ready yet). I said I smelled it and that's why I came in, so she said to wait and went in the back. She came back and said she had chicken, so I assumed the fresh, amazing smelling chicken I came in for that was being cooked was ready. Well, what I got was yesterday's chicken which seemed to be re-heated. It was dry and flavorless... very boring. No spices to be seen or tasted - So very disappointing! The beans that came with it were decent... not a lot of flavor, but great texture and still good. The salad was fresh, their "dressing" was the typical mayo-based sauce and it was ok. Overall - Nothing at all exciting about this visit... I left disappointed.

The parking lot needs some work, it's not paved. Apparently this place has been in business for over 20 years, they could improve in this area. You start with complimentary chips and salsa. This wasn't bad. I started off with horchata, very good. I had half a chicken all dark meat with yucca and rice. The chicken was pretty good. Flavorful, juicy, tender. The yucca was the perfect texture, crispy exterior, soft interior. The rice was okay. The sauce both white and green could use some work. I'll say, their sauce doesn't come close to super chickens sauce. We dined in. The place was clean. The server was nice. They checked on us multiple times throughout the meal. They have a extensive menu. I'll definitely come back to try out the other items.
