Parviz B.

The food has lost all the taste and quality. The new bowls are a joke to cut the food in half and charge $10 still. The barbacoa tastes like water and the fajitas are all tasteless. Service was good but I'm at a restaurant to buy food mostly. The place is clean. I will be calling my bank regarding the chargeback.

I was starving so it was good, but rice was majorly undercooked. but the food TASTED good aside from that, and the service was good.

Burrito

Rio Bland. Flavor on the burrito was missing. Enchilada style lost me for the soggy burrito. Back in the day it probably was a 10 event. Now 19 with a drink I should have went for the nachos. For plastic cutlery they held up for the shoveling. Coke and -ades galore. I gave it a try...

Burrito with guacamole.

I am in Manassas for a conference and looking for some dinner. I can't believe I passed up all of the nearby restaurants to order from here. Tasteless guacamole, flavorless burrito, I'm so upset I spent $30+ for this bad food! I was surprised to see cleaning buckets with rags sitting out to wipe down surfaces. (Thought that went out with COVID) I tried to eat more but couldn't. Really tasteless food. Wasn't even warm by the time I drove back to the hotel!

I came here because I was craving Horchata, came to the store around 8:11 and all the juices weren't there! There was a empty container of horchata and people were already cleaning. I went to the line ready to open and I didn't felt welcomed, they obviously didn't wanted to take my order, the 2 girls at front didn't have any costumer service experience. I had to even as a cashier for drinks and chips. when they are supposed to offer items to costumers, but anyways What a disappointment!

Shredded chicken salad

Order my food in line and got it to go. Once home I was a couple bits in my salad when I saw a bug crawling up from under. I lost my appetite and called the restaurant. Told me I had to have to wait 24 hours for the purchase to process and get a refund.

Very delicious food! The quantity is great and everything is so fresh. The salsa and the lettuce feel like they're made fresh. All the meat also taste healthy and great. Definitely recommend.

Never been here, would they custom make my burrito, say just beef and queso inside then covered in queso and red enchilada sauce?

Yes they will. They will customize it just the way you like it!

Food: Tried the shrimp cocktail (shrimp, avocado, tomato,…read morechili, and onion), birria sope, beef gordita, and birria tacos. Everything was flavorful and fresh. My favorites were definitely the birria tacos and the sope. Price: 3 birria tacos for $12 -- pretty fair pricing for the portion and quality. Atmosphere: Very packed, which is usually a good sign, but still nice and organized. Plenty of seating and the restaurant was decorated really well. Family-friendly atmosphere too. Service: Customer service was great and everyone was friendly and helpful. Overall: Good food, fair prices, lots of options, and a nice environment. Definitely would come back!

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.

La Jarochita Restaurant - They have an entire concha wall which is always an indication of good things to come. I had lunch here and their food was spot on.

I had never been to Costa Azul before. I came in while my kid was finishing up a birthday party…read morearound the corner. All I wanted was a Coke, chips and salsa, and queso. 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

Excellent salsa. Produce is fresh. Interesting combos. We keep coming back! Previous review: My first time dining out since the pandemic; sat outside; felt very safe and comfortable.

Great drinks menu. Full bar. The food is excellent, super fresh and well-seasoned. I loved the tortilla soup: it was flavorful and perfectly spiced with loads of shredded chicken and fresh avocado.
