Visited this restaurant back in March. I was with a fairly large group. The service was awesome. We…read morewere seated quickly (as per our reservation) and the server was very attentive. I stuck to the late night happy hour menu and ordered the Frito pie. It was REALLY good. The portion was smaller than I expected, so I'd definitely order two next time. I nibbled on my wife's shrimp fajita and it was delicious. The drinks were very nice. I ordered the spicy margarita and it was delicious. The ambiance is warm and cozy. It's not a large space, but I did not feel cramped. There is an outdoor heated seating area as well.

The place is small and intimate but full of energy - great place for a happy hour with friends or a more casual date!

I do appreciate that they let me try it first, only to be like... maybe not! I've come here for tacos. They're perfectly fine for DC. Amazing? Not so much, but hey, it's still a perfectly okay spot. I like the outdoor patio seating when you have the rare nice day weather in DC. That is a major selling point. Otherwise, head indoors.

Amazing restaurant…read more The location is great and the vibe and energy in the restaurant is great. The employees were so kind and very attentive. Prices were good. The food was amazing. 5 stars. My girlfriend loved her burrito de asada. It was so full of flavor and tender asada. I loved my enchiladas de mole. The mole sauce was perfect. The rice and beans were great also. Finally the gorditos de asada was generational. Not only were they filled with great tasting asada and grilled veggies, but the plain Gordito literally brought me back to my abuelas gorditos she would make me growing up. Brought me to tears. I definitely plan to visit this location anytime I'm in DC.

They were SO tasty, very full of flavor and spice. My husband said the tacos were delicious and our toddler actually ate a lot of the quesadilla. Win all around. Highly recommend!

Rango's absolutely lived up to the hype. We came after hearing it was one of the best Mexican…read morerestaurants in Virginia, and it did not disappoint. Parking was easy with a large garage right next to the restaurant, which made it especially convenient before heading to a show nearby. When we walked in, the bar was packed with people watching the game, and it had a fun, lively atmosphere. It definitely looked like a great place to catch a sporting event. The service was excellent from start to finish. The owner even came over to introduce himself, which was a really nice touch and made us feel welcome. The chips and salsa were good, just what you'd hope for at a quality Mexican restaurant. We ordered the shrimp fajitas, regular fajitas, and a couple of quesadillas from the kids menu. Even though the menu says it's for kids 8 and under, they were happy to let our slightly older kids order from it. It was a fantastic value, although I'd recommend it more for kids around 12 and under based on the portion sizes. Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful, but the standout was definitely the homemade tortillas. They were outstanding. I also asked for a hot sauce, and they brought out a fresh green sauce that completely elevated the meal. I'm not sure exactly what was in it, but it was incredible. Great food, friendly service, easy parking, and a welcoming atmosphere. We'd definitely come back and would highly recommend Rango's to anyone looking for excellent Mexican food in Virginia.

I hopped off a plane and headed to this restaurant to meet old friends. I got there a little early…read moreand the host gave me a warm greeting, showed me the restroom and waited until I heard back from my friends who are running a little behind if they wanted to sit inside or outside. I was surprised by the number of nonalcoholic options they had and I ordered a Virgin Mojito. It was very refreshing, a little bit of sweetness, a little bit of freshness and a little bit of tart, which was a nice combination. They provided free chips and salsa and also had a happy hour menu that featured a variety of tacos as well as drink specials for those who did want to drink alcohol. My friends ordered the Carne Asada chicken and shrimp tacos, which they enjoyed. I would definitely go back and wanna try some of their other nonalcoholic beverages and happy hour food.

Cactus is a local's favorite. You see families, couples, big group dinners, etc. Great ability to…read moreaccommodate big parties. Very large interior and outdoor space. The food is definitely more Tex Mex than Mexican but has a homey feel. The tortillas are the thick style tortillas that go well with their chicken and steak fajitas (my go to and 100% recommendation for first time customers). If you like frozen margaritas, this is the place. They do swirls or single flavors and they are strong. Will always come back for a nice homey meal.

The burrito itself was good, however, the chile was very watery causing most of the chile to fall onto the plate. While the chile is from Hatch, NM the preparation is what matters. The red chile needs to be thicker so it stays on the burrito. I gave four stars because improvements need to be made to really be New Mexico style. The cooks, no fault of their own, could benefit from training from cooks in New Mexico. Overall good burrito.

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.

As a girl who grew up in Colorado and then went to school in both Texas and Southern California, I…read morehave spent my years in DC struggling with one thing: finding a truly great taco or breakfast burrito. DC has incredible food from across Latin America, but when it comes to Mexican food and Tex-Mex, I have opinions. Strong ones. And I remain on my seemingly never-ending search for the perfect DC breakfast burrito. In the meantime, thank God for La Tejana. I'm incredibly lucky to live nearby, which means I can sneak over on a weekday when there's little to no line, walk in, order, and be back out ridiculously quickly. I usually bring my dog along for the adventure because the whole operation is so efficient that it really can be a quick in-and-out. The staff has also always been wonderful. My order is the Uncle P. I get three tacos, eat two for breakfast, and save the third for a little snack later. And the cilantro crema salsa? I could probably drink it. It is SO good. But we need to talk about the tortillas. Their tortillas are fantastic, and this is one of those details that makes or breaks breakfast tacos and burritos for me. I've found some decent breakfast burritos around DC, only to have the whole thing ruined by a sad store-bought tortilla. Flavor, texture--it matters! I somehow keep missing La Tejana's tortilla sales, so apparently I need to get much better at stalking their social media. I also loved when they had the bar and went a few times while it was open. Maybe it comes back someday, maybe it doesn't. Either way, I'm just happy La Tejana is here. Until DC finally delivers the breakfast burrito of my dreams, I will continue pretending three La Tejana tacos are one deconstructed miniature breakfast burrito. It's working for me.

Now the other I had was the 956. The 956 Cheesy scrambled eggs, bacon, fried potatoes, refried beans, queso drizzle, cilantro garnish . It perfect for those who just want to test it out, but I'm telling ya you can't go wrong with the Super Duper Migas or the Super Migas! The pricing is perfect!!! The tacos are the perfect size. Perfect so much so that you can sample a few and it's not some big old taco. Follow them on social media for tips, and menu items. They are not as busy at certain times. Of course it maybe busier on a weekend in the morning. There is limited seating. So be prepared to find a spot anywhere to enjoy. There is maybe a few spots inside at the window and the exterior there is a few spots at the window table and a few chairs. There was street parking available. I took the metro in and walked a little bit. It was not a huge undertaking to get there and walk from the metro through the neighborhoods. Lastly the staff! They were great! They were so polite and they hit the mark with their work!

I've only ever enjoyed Torchy's…read morewhile visiting family in Texas, so it was nice to know that I can get my Torchy's fix more often. When you enter the restaurant, you can either order at the kiosk or the register. The menu is extensive, but I doubt there isn't something on the menu you'd like. After placing your order, you sit at one of the dining tables in the large dining area, and a staff member brings your food out to you when it's ready. All of the staff I interacted with were friendly and helpful. I ordered a chicken fajita taco and a bacon egg and cheese taco - yes, they serve breakfast items all day - and shared some queso and chips. As expected, the tacos were delicious, fresh and flavorful. The queso is one of my favorite things on the menu. If you're in the area and want to try some unique tacos, definitely try out Torchy's!
