Pomegranate margarita
Daviña D.

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!

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.

Ok, this is a hidden gem!! Everyone needs to STOP wasting their precious money and come here!! If you are in the mood for Mexican, make your way to the TexMex Grill Brazas! Food is reasonably priced, and EVERYTHING was fresh. I came here to celebrate a nephews' birthday, and what a delight!! The service was top tear, and the food was excellent!! I will definitely be back!!

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.

Their service and good food made our day. Hope to come back again sometime soon on our next visit to Alexandria.

We arrived at 4:03 p.m. and left by 4:46 p.m. Our plan was to relax at the bar, enjoy happy hour margaritas, have appetizers, then dinner while watching the soccer match--a leisurely vacation evening. The hospitality, unfortunately, was lacking. Although our bartender wasn't rude, she seemed to be in a constant rush to get us to order, despite the restaurant being relatively quiet with only a few tables occupied. We even mentioned that we were hoping to enjoy a slow, relaxing evening, but we still felt hurried throughout our visit. The happy hour margaritas were very lime-forward with very little tequila. We switched to a regular menu margarita ("The Perfect"), but even that tasted weaker than expected. As tequila fans, we were disappointed. We also found the food to be far from authentic Tex-Mex. Having lived in San Antonio, I realize that's a high standard, but this didn't come close to what we expected. In the end, we asked for our food to go and left. We found another restaurant where we could relax and enjoy the kind of hospitality we had been looking for. I don't enjoy leaving critical reviews, but this was a disappointing experience, and unfortunately, I can't recommend it.

Amazing customer service! Sweet workers!! I'd come back!

We saw people give positive remarks about your food, and so as lovers of Mexican food and coming from the N.E. we were excited to try a new Mexican place! I'm not sure how you were given such good reviews because nothing was great about it. So disappointing on all fronts. The service was horrible - she didn't smile, she basically came up to the table and asked us what we wanted. Then when we said it was our first time and we needed some time to look, she walked off. No personality whatever throughout. The margharitas were so bland, full of juice and LUKE WARM - for 20.00 - that we ordered an extra shot - which she forgot until she stopped by 15 minutes AFTER our meal already came. The food was terrifically bland as heck. Nothing was seasoned well at all. We asked for the manager, and one said he was one of them. He was basically useless. He didn't apologize. He came back to our table and wanted to see if we wanted something else, this is after waiting forever for our first food. He didn't offer to take off anything, not that would allow - but it's called great customer service, which this place sorely also lacked. Then, clueless, asked if we wanted to wrap up our food that we did NOT like. The fajita was dry and hard - chx, steak, shrimp and over the top fried cod. No flavor in either rice or beans. Enchalada with chicken was so bland and boring. The sauce on top seemed like a tomato sauce from a can. Service/food/drinks were all bad. If that's the standard the people seemed to like around here, that's telling. Best part of the place, cold water. Amen to that.

Posting this review to highlight two things here: the consistently delicious frozen margaritas and…read morethe Camarones Tequila dish. Listen, the sauce in this dish is so good. They just need more veggies so that you can really have your way with the sauce. Skip the guac... it needs more avocado and flavor. The Tamal de Elote is also very yummy. Ate it too fast, forgot to take a pic. The service is great, there are plenty of waitstaff floating around. The parking lot can get crowded but there's plenty of parking across the street if needed. Ambiance is fun. It's super loud in the restaurant, partially because of the plethora of Happy Birthday performances with the instruments and all. Honestly, just join in the singing and clapping. Why not.

Decided to come to Chidos for HH since I had a class in the area…read more HH is from 1-6pm and since I had a late day at the office, I was pressed for time. I looked at the menu ahead of time and my homegirl sent me pictures to confirm. This way I already knew what I wanted (flautas & passionfruit margs) I came in, sat down and waited for a bartender to acknowledge our look my way so I could order. I was able to get my order in just in time and informed them I'd need a refill before it was over. My flautas came out as two taquitos cut in half and I just laughed. Barely any lettuce piled on top with sour cream and salsa on the side. Really, two tortillas rolled around chicken and cheese. It was hilarious. It was just barely much food at all and I didn't want to try anything else so just asked for my refill. Check came and got charged full price. When I asked about it, I was given a smart response and told they wouldn't take it off again like they were doing me a favor or I was trying to get over SMH They're lucky that passionfruit marg was hitting or it would have been challenging to go back.

A nice evening out ruined by shady characters and business practices. Beware of tourist trap…read moreactivities! The Server added an automatic 30% tip and explained it was "management settings" on the point of sales machine. I'm sure it is often overlooked by unassuming victims. When approached and questioned the tip was added and then additionally taxed. The Server asked where are you from; as if that mattered when the customer is being ripped off. Horrible and untrustworthy tactics and individuals. NONALCOHOLIC DRINKS WERE CHARGED AS ALCOHILIC DRINKS. Utter crooks. Food - Well spiced and flavorful. Decent selection to include vegitarian options. Service- left much to be desired. Server was unenthusiastic to say the least. Every aspect of the experience lacked tremendously. Server was impatient and seemed bothered that he had to do any work besides being on his phone and watching the TV in the background; he mess up drinks, and when the food finally arrived he plated incorrectly and got an attitude when addressed in a calm manner. Ambience - slow. Not in a good way. Operations were at best lax and uncaring. Charged for a large party with only 3 people in attendance as a means to hike the overall bill.
