Service is always fast and friendly here whether you sit in their bar or dining room and the atmosphere is the classic Tex Mex style you're looking for.

The Greek / Mexican fusion idea is to die for and definitely works in a quesadilla. Such a unique menu and made to order, I'm sure anything you can get here would blow you away! Falls church is very lucky to have this unique restaurant nearby, I consider them a local staple.

When arriving we were greeted by kind employees who explained the menu to us and how everything works. Their menu is Greek and Mexican fusion and they have many options for both. I tried a regular cheese and chicken quesadilla and I wanted to try something Greek as well so I ordered the Greek tacos. My husband ordered a huge burrito. The food was amazing, there was so much flavor in everything. The quesadilla was so huge stuffed with so much meat and cheese and had the perfect crisp to it and it came with salsa and sour cream. The Greek tacos were also so flavorful and the feta cheese was the perfect touch. I really want to go back and try more of their menu.

After attending a private event at Ometeo, my group decided to stick around for Happy Hour and I'm…read moreso glad we did. What started as "one more stop before heading home" turned into one of the highlights of the evening. From the moment you walk in, Ometeo has an energy that's hard to miss. The restaurant is beautifully designed with two levels of indoor seating, a spacious outdoor patio, and both an indoor and covered outdoor bar. Whether you're meeting friends for Happy Hour, planning a date night, or hosting a celebration, there's a space that fits the occasion. One thing that really impressed me was the variety of private event spaces. They offer everything from fully private rooms to semi-private options that can accommodate seated dinners, cocktail receptions, or standing events. As someone who plans events, I immediately appreciated how thoughtfully the spaces were designed. Happy Hour is offered Monday through Friday from 3-6 p.m. and all day on Sundays, making it an easy excuse to stop by. The prices are reasonable, and there's a great selection of Tex-Mex favorites, cocktails, beer, and wine. We ordered the Carnitas de Puerco and the Chicken Tinga Tacos. After adding a squeeze of lime and a touch of salt to the tacos, they were absolutely delicious. I also ordered the signature Ometeo Margarita, which was beautifully presented and just as refreshing as it looked. What truly completed the experience was the customer service. Everyone we encountered was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making us feel like they were happy we chose to spend part of our evening there. Between the vibrant atmosphere, beautiful design, delicious food, refreshing cocktails, and outstanding hospitality, Ometeo is much more than a place to grab a meal--it's an experience. Pro tip: Retail parking is complimentary for the first two hours, making it even easier to stop in for Happy Hour. We'll definitely be back.

The ambiance of this place is really nice - especially the upstairs lounge area. But this is…read moredefinitely a better setup as a bar/club than a restaurant. It gets really loud with the live music and all the people talking over each other. It was difficult to hear the server as well. I think I'd prefer to come back when a DJ event is happening. The food servings are pretty small for what they are. Our table got many different versions of steak and eggs but the portions were underwhelming. I'd suggest to get the fajitas they seem to be bigger portions. We also could only split the check up to 5 or 6 even ways so we just ended up doing one check. I also saw previous reviews that you can get parking validated but our server said they don't do that.
