    Cactus Grill

    Looking for amazing Mexican food while having an equally awesome experience?! Then Cactus Grill is your spot! It was a random Sunday, we had broke Granny out of the nursing home for a change of scenery and fresh air... little did we know she would get to relive her younger party girl days and go wild with the mariachi band and Manny at Cactus Grill! The music, the Buffett, the decor, the experience.... Six stars if yelp had an extra. Gracias Cactus Grill for the fun and I would say memories, but Granny has dementia.

    Great Service and even better food. Medalith was attentive, courteous and serviceable. Definitely a place of repeat. The best waitress in the whole wide world and gorgeous as well too

    I had the chilaquiles and they were decent a little bit on the salty side if you are on a diet don't say I didn't warn you. The chips were pretty crunchy and the eggs were a little bit too much on the cooked side, but it's hard for them to understand over easy, can't take away from that. Prices decent for chillaquiles but everything else on the menu seemed a little on the proud side. Interior is pretty clean, they pretty much have the ladies cleaning the tables when there is not much to do. The only take away is it's almost like you're eating in a club, music in the 75 decibel mark it seems. Hard to take a order when they can't hear you and I was already talking loud. Service is ok. With Groupon you can get $15 taken off if you catch a discount or you buy it for $8 if timed right so that's about half price. It's worth a try maybe a little too harsh with this review but then again trying to stay away from them and would like to hear myself eating sometimes. Parking is Apple and it's definitely worth a try here at least once.

    Strawberry Lemonade

    You have to get the Strawberry Lemonade ! It's AMAZING. I tried it once, and I dont think i'll ever not order it with my meal again! It actually has pieces of strawberry floating in it, and makes the flavor 10x what you think it would be! The Chimichanga was great, as always, and has a lovely mix of tender meat, and tomato-based sauce.

    Food was cold, comida fría Manassas has better Hispanic food places definitely not this one, was very disappointed I'd recommend Nico's for a better Hispanic buffet and it is not as expensive Great service And Good ambiance

    The food is very good. Authentic Mexican food. Service was great. Our server was honest when we asked her about dishes on the menu. Ambiance is ok family friendly. They told us they have buffet on Sundays and live music. I will be coming back

    We were visiting Manassas and did a 30 min research for Mexican food and chose cactus grill.. it wasn't the best experience though. Could have chosen some other restaurant in my opinion . Firstly , the waitresss doesn't understand what we order because she doesn't know English . Unfortunately, we also don't know Spanish . She said chips comes with the salad that I ordered and I asked her to refill it because it took them forever to bring my beer . She said chips free and then they charged me for the refill. We were sitting there for 30 mins not getting our beer , so it is obvious that the owner should give free chips to make us wait . Secondly I ordered a salad , which said it had bean and veggies and they bring a regular taco which I didn't like that much . My son ordered a veggie enchilada and all he got was CHEEEEESE filled in. No veggies at all. We had to remove all cheese from it and stuff the veggies that came with veg taco . The best was veg taco . Very very good . Parking is good but I wish we had better service Disappointed overall ! Will never visit again or recommend to my friends . Thanks

    Steak burrito with regular unseasoned white rice and no Guac

    The way i was treated here, in my opinion, is totally not oK.... All (NO) thanks to Maria, the manager... because of critical information SHE failed to inform when I called... Priorr to driving over 24 minutes to get to this restaurant. I seen that they offer a deal on Groupon, which I bought, and took my time out to call the resturant BEFORE placing an order to ask about how i should go about using the Groupon. Maria literally told me I could just order anything and the Groupon will count for it. In which sense especially because I have ADHD, I asked her in several different ways if I needed anything else and she told me literally no. Just make sure I have the Groupon when I come in. I get there only to be told that I know I have to buy at least one thing in addition to what was already made for the Groupon to count, I already ordered more than enough food for myself, as I got a big burrito and a taco. I'm 110 lbs & I don't really do left overs. She literally kept talking over me cutting me off and telling me that there's nothing she could do for me because that's just the rule, I calmly let her know I completely get that... I really did, but why did she not let me know that over the phone when I asked her several times what did I need to do to use my Groupon. I really wanted to leave the food right there and then but I literally just drove 24 minutes to this restaurant & im super hungry at this point I'm still calm... & She's now looking at me like I'm speaking some alien type of language to her. Didn't come up with any help. OH BTW NOT ONCE DID SHE APOLOGIZE TO ME FOR GIVING ME WRONG INFO OVER THE PHONE. She actually tried to make it seem like I was doing something wrong. Kind of embarrassing to say the least. So finally she tells me I could just buy a drink Imagine if I had just drove there without any money on me. Because, again, I literally called and asked her in several different ways if I needed to bring anything with me to use this coupon. Also, if you use an Apple Pay while checking out.. you have to scan a QR code .. it then takes you to Some app thing, which was new & just confusing when i asked how do i use this or if i needed to make an account she acted as if she didn't hear me so i just had to spend time figuring it out. She even forgot the drink that I paid for and when I came back to get it she again, did not even say anything to me she just told another employee to get it for me. The food: The Birria taco was actually OK, it did not come with any consumé to dip it in so that kind of defeats the purpose of birria. The burrito was supposed to come with guacamole and They forgot that too. The rice was just plain white rice too & very thinly sliced pieces of beef. Didn't really have much of that Spanish flavour to me. I do have another dine in Groupon which All sales are final on so i must use so I'll reluctantly eat in in the future and try a different item.

    Street Tacos

    Enjoyed an early lunch here today. The food was good but not as spicy as I would've expected. Added their house salsa to my nachos and definitely upped the flavor. Restaurant was clean. Service was average. Will definitely go back and try something different. They have $2 taco Tuesdays.

    I am 10000% born and raised Mexican and this is by far THE BEST Mexican restaurant I've been to in my 17 years living in the USA. Strongly recommend it! Food is delicious, service was on point, ZERO complaints and lots of compliments!

    Cactus Chimichanga
    Francheska P.

    It was my first time dining here. I went on Mother's Day. They had Mother's Day ballon's all over the restaurant and small gift bags with fresh flowers and chocolates on every table that guests were allowed to take which I thought was really special. Most of the staff speaks Spanish but I did hear a few servers speaking English as well so don't feel like you can't dine here - just be patient and kind to the staff if there is a language barrier. For drinks I ordered my daughter an horchata and myself a tamarind juice. The juice was good but it wasn't fresh and the horchata was sweeter than what I'm used to and lacked the amount of spice that I'm used to as well but my daughter enjoyed it. They greet with chips and salsa - the salsa has great flavor it isn't spicy. I ordered their queso dip as well & that was delicious. I ordered the ground beef chimichanga and it was really great except there was refried beans inside the chimichanga which I wish would've been listed in the description on the menu because I would've asked for them to be removed from the burrito as refried beans and rice are served on the side. The way the chimichanga is shown in the photo is not how it is served I added left over queso on top of it. My daughter ordered chicken quesadillas and the chicken was insanely dry. I don't recommend that entree she barely ate them. The server was as very kind and attentive as well as the other staff members I had multiple people approaching asking me if I needed anything. I would return.

    No exaggeration here. Half filled 4oz cup indeed cost me $8..

    La Jarochita is everything. I genuinely cannot say enough good things about this place -- every…read moresingle time I go, I leave beyond satisfied, a little stuffed, and with money still in my pocket. That combo is rare and I refuse to take it for granted. The food is just incredible across the board. And I mean ALL of it. I have yet to order something that didn't completely deliver. The flavors are bold, authentic, and made with what clearly feels like actual care and love going into every dish. It's the kind of food that makes you stop mid-bite just to appreciate what's happening. And the prices? Beyond reasonable. You are getting so much food and flavor for what you pay -- it never feels like a splurge even when you go all out on the order. I find myself coming back any chance I get and honestly the hardest part of the visit is just deciding what to get because everything is that good. It's become one of those non-negotiable spots for me -- the kind of place I'll drive for and never think twice about. If you're in the Manassas area and you haven't been to La Jarochita yet, fix that immediately. You will not regret it, you will not leave hungry, and your wallet will thank you.

We drove out of our way to try this place and honestly it was a bit confusing to figure out where to order. There are two lines and it's not very clear which one we are supposed to get in for what. Especially because some of the items are duplicate on both menus. I noticed there was barely anyone in the "restaurant" line. Anyway, we sort of got a little bit of everything and wasn't completely brown away. I liked that they let you add your own toppings, and all of the sauces that have available were great. But the taco meats all sort of lacked a bit of flavor. Carnitas are my favorite but these were a bit inconsistent. Some pieces were very nice and juicy where others were hard to chew. I will say the place is very clean and spacious. They're pretty quick with your order as well. The food was lacking flavor for me personally. Overall, I don't think I would go back.

I had no idea that they offered a small bowl of complementary ceviche, which is actually really good. Like, so good, that I'm going to have to go back just to get that. The queso was also good. It was the standard white queso that I commonly associate with the Midwest because for the longest I couldn't get it on the East Coast, but it's not queso fundido. They offer Coke from a fountain, which is a huge plus. And the salsa was really good. The chips and salsa were free, so they absolutely get bonus points for that. It was a random Saturday evening when I came in, and they were setting up for what looked like live music and a fun night. The service was really good and parking was easy since it's in a plaza. I would highly recommend this place. They were fast and super sweet.

While looking at the menu, we were served the complimentary chips and salsa which was good. For entrees, we had Filete ala Crema, al Gusto Soup, and Tacos (I forgot which one specifically). The serving sizes were humongous! The Filete ala Crema could probably we shared by 2-3 people. I could say the same for the soup and the tacos. We could say that the seafood was fresh - no funny smells and the food was prepared well. The prices were reasonable. We would love to go back for when we are craving for seafood.

    WHAT I ATE - Virginia @ El Garage Restaurant…read moreManassas, VA We stumbled on El Garage Restaurant while shopping around Manassas and are happy with our find! There are tons of Mexican and latino eateries in the Manasas area. Some good, and some great! We think this a great one for great tasting food, affordable prices and authenticity. They have a pretty extensive menu of items. We were curious about the food kept hot in the steam tables, and we were introduced to BARBACOA! We also wanted to try something different and had not had goat or lamb done Mexican style. What a treat! Warm, tender lamb and goat, seasoned perfectly and accompanied with Mexican rice, black beans and fresh, hot tortillas. We'd say the portions of meat were generous, and so good we ate everything! The green chile sauce was spicy, but not terribly so. Watch out for the red sauce, as it may be spicier than most people can tolerate. I'm not normally a fan of Mexican rice, but this rice was very flavorful, with perfectly cooked tender grains that had the rice amount of "stickiness" to keep it on the fork or in the taco. For drinks, the cooling, sweet/tart house made Tamarindo was so good and kind of lemony in flavor. They also have Jarritos brand tamarindo in bottles, but trust me. Fresh made tamarindo is better! El Garage Restaurant is on our list of place to stop for lunch or dinner when we are in this part of Manassas. VIDEO LINK: https://youtu.be/GfoSv3cZ2pE
