    I went here for a group happy hour and was pleasantly surprised. During happy hour select drinks are $5, a steal for the DMV area. I ordered the carne asada street tacos and a mojito. The tacos were fresh, I wish the mojito had more club soda it was a little too sweet. I'd definitely come back as the snapper someone looked delish. The service was a little slower at our table than the bar, however we had a group of 10 and the restaurant is fairly new.

    I really enjoyed this spot! It's located in a a shopping center across the street from Topolino Restaurant. Parking was located directly in front, free, and accessible. Staff were very friendly and our waitress did a great job of checking in on us, and answering questions we had about the menu. Happy hour is every day (3-7), even on the weekends. Only includes margaritas for $5.They also have lunch specials until 2pm. I loved the decor and vibes as well...tropical, upbeat, modern,and appeared clean! Of course I ordered the chicken fajitas and they came out hot and presented very well (I like my vegetables whole and not incinerated by the grill). I could tell that everything was cooked fresh but the fajitas did not have a whole lot of flavor. A side of sour cream helped to cover the flavor that was missing but flavor is important so I took off one star. It also came with rice, beans, and pico. You get a choice of yellow rice, cilantro rice, or white rice. Great portion size as well, I had left overs. I liked this spot a lot and would definitely come back and try something different!

    Back with another review! I tried new dishes, I thought I could add on to my last review but I guess not. So as an average this is a four because I am combining two new visits. Both times I had the chorizo dip- if you love that rotel- superbowl sports bar appetizer this is for you! Very cheesy and delicious. I also tried the quesadillas but I modified it with half steak and half shrimp.. it wasn't terrible. I think the steak was a little tough which seems to be a pattern. I also tried the fajitas nachos with steak and I wouldn't order it again. Taste wise: it wasn't terrible, again steak is a little tough BUT what bothered me most is the large pieces of veggies and steak. It wasn't bite size. They could have definitely chopped into smaller sizes. Jairo has been my bartender each time I've been - it's always been a Tuesday so that may just be her schedule. She's pleasant and makes sure I get everything I order- correctly. This time I ordered churros to go. I love churros! But usually I eat too much to have dessert. I forced myself this time and I tasted one fresh, it was crunchy yet dough. It originally came out with chocolate drizzled on top which was not part of the description. Jairo fixed it for me since I don't eat chocolate. The alternative is that it came with caramel dipping sauce. This time the music was a little louder but it was a nice vibe if you're enjoying a few cocktails

    Too cold to cook. JK, we're just tired of suffering alone through The Great Glaze a.k.a. Winter Storm Fern 2026. Super glad we came ... $5 Margaritas ... my frugal self was instantly in love. Looking @ the menu made me drool ... they have vegan options y'all! We were offered free chips and salsa before we were even seated. Fairly new establishment so still very neat, clean and organized. Hoping they keep up with the seasonal decor. Today they're all set for Valentine's Day. We ain't talking fine dining butttt friendly, efficient customer service will trump (NO pun intended!) expensive, Michelin star presentation any day. Shout out to our bartender (Claudio a.k.a. "C") and our server (Oscar). Also happy to report, our party of 4 had nothing but praise for every chicken entree served today (fajitas, burrito bowl and quesadillas). Delicioso all across the board. Check out my pics. Get hungry. Come visit. Tell them you saw it on Yelp. Share YOUR opinion.

    I definitely need to go back, i ordered the Taquitos Mexicano. They were okay, had a corn tortilla; I personally prefer flour. i know I would like something else instead better because the rice and beans were fire! And I'm usually not a beans person but they were really good. I also need to go back to try a drink. I'll be back with part 2 of review

    Stumbled across this place and I'm glad I did! I ordered from the walk up area and the staff was kind and moved fast. Ordered the nachos and chicken street tacos. Both delicious and the nacho supreme was a good size. Such a beautiful place and good addition to this area. The decor is pretty and yet not overwhelming.

    They truly try to accommodate and give you what you want m, even if that means altering the dish. I loved the grill marks and flavor on the salmon. They have a bunch if great options for margaritas and drinks.

    Best coconut Mojito in temple hills!  I absolutely love this place

    Service was amazing if y'all don't know then y'all need to come find out . I bring my family here for a reason they take such good care of you it's addicting . Come see Jairo you won't be disappointed!

    Nice place for a picture

    $25 Bottomless Maragarita Fridays!…read more Saw this special advertised so my homegirl and I planned to check it out. I haven't been to Fast Eddie's in years so the upgraded ambiance did not go unnoticed. The special ends at 8 PM EST and is only valid with a purchase of an entree we arrived around 6:15 PM EST. They did not disappoint on the food! Shout out to the chef! It was well worth the price. The quantity was large and the quality was beyond tasty. They had two types of Margaritas to choose from: Mango and Strawberry. Unfortunately this isn't one of those "heavy pour" spots. The Margaritas were weak - I assume because they were bottomless. That was disappointing. The service was SLOW. Our first waiter hassled me to order because "you can't get bottomless without ordering food" I already knew that but just wasn't ready to eat just yet. Finally, when I was ready to order, he took his time getting to our table. It was apparent his shift was ending because he passed us on (read: pointed to our table as he spoke to a colleague) then just left. No warning, no closing out, just gone. After he left we had a hard time getting the attention of someone behind the bar to come to our table to close out our check. This is the reason for 4 stars. I will definitely be returning for the food if nothing else. My friend got lamb chops with seafood Mac and yams ($33 USD) while I got the smothered fried pork chop with baked mac and cabbage. ($25 USD) all entrees come with sweet potato corn bread

Most of the time fish is a hit. But every now and then ( last night) to be precise, my fish was over cooked. I had to bite and pull with my teeth. By the time I started eating and realized it was overcooked, the kitchen was closed. The drinks don't always taste like what you asked for but they are strong if that's what you like. They have a police officer at the door most nights, which makes it feel a bit safer. It's definitely a cheers type of bar, everyone knows everyone. Music is old school for the most part, but they have a jukebox so the music can be adjusted. It's a nice hole in the wall. The bathroom really sucks. You have to dam near turn sideways and use the stall with the door opened. That's the one thing I hate about this spot. Seems like they tried to turn one unisex bathroom into 2 stalls. I'm pretty sure the men's room looks the same.

I ordered the 1/2 southern fried chicken with collard greens and the tomato & cucumber salad sides. The fried chicken was good, though nothing really to write home about, but the seasoning was good.

There are alcoholic beverage options if you choose to sit and watch sports on one of the many mounted televisions. The young lady who took our order was very helpful and had positive energy. This location also offers a military discount with appropriate identification. There wasn't a long wait from ordering to receiving our food. Of note, I asked for some barbecue sauce on the side, and it is not complimentary; it was $0.49 for a small serving. The fries were skinny and tasted just fine, but I prefer my fries thicker cut with some body to them. The wings served are party wings and appeared to have been snatched off a Cornish hen! The lemon pepper rub was generous and tasted fine. For $3.99, I anticipated the size of the lemonade to be larger than the kids' meal cup I received. Totally understand that prices are rising everywhere but for the amount charged vs what was received, it'll take a lot for me to come back and patronize this location. Parking was easy and is shared with other businesses in the marketplace. Capable of accepting cash, credit cards, and mobile pay options. An overall 3.70 star experience.
