Steak burrito
Angela W.

This place opened in 4th of July as I was in the mood for their delicious tacos and burritos. The gal was nice enough to accommodate one burrito with cilantro and the other without. You will wait but it's worth it because they make it quite well. Their dining area looks clean as usual.

Excellent, excellent, excelente. The food tested great my wife Chris and I shared a bowl for lunch. So so tasty. Much better than Chipotle! Eat here and you're not going back to Chipotle.

1/4 Chicken, fried yuca, beans & rice

A wonderful smell of chicken roasting over a wood fire hits you as soon as you walk in the door. The place smells like and tastes like the dozens of such places in Northern Virginia and the DC suburbs. In general, I came on a Monday afternoon around 2 PM. Not very many people here, but the restaurant was very clean and the service was fast. Oddly all the staff or maybe owners seem to be Indian or maybe Pakistani. I got a quarter chicken dark meat, rice&beans and fried yuca. About $16 with medium fountain drink. Chicken was not super meaty, but it had good flavor. Looked like there were a lot of other menu options I'd like to check out. Considering a #1 meal at Chic fil la can cost nearly $14 this is a nice alternative.

1/2 chicken with two sides: green beans and rice and black beans. Delicious

Fast service. Big portions. Great customer service. Will be back here again to try other things.

1/4 chicken with 2 sides

I used to go here every week when they first opened. I have not been there in a long time. Today I ordered 1/4 chicken with 2 sides and you don't even get the whole 1/4 chicken -they cut the top off. The portions are way smaller than what they used to be. The two guys who were there when first opened were great-now no one speaks or is friendly-they just take orders and hand you a box of food. I guess the dirty napkin was free of charge LOL!!! Time to move on-sigh!!

Rice, vegetables and salmon

I've been wanting to try the food, the inside and outside was clean. The guy that was taking my order was rude and kinda snappy not a good first impression. Food was overpriced, they didn't give me any silverware and food was, I definitely won't be back!

1/2 chicken with 2 sides, green beans and fried rice.

Ordered the 1/2 chicken with green beans and fried rice. The chicken was moist and very tasty, the seasoning was excellent, the skin which I know I shouldn't eat could not be skipped. The fried rice was full of flavor, the green beans had some amazing flavor to them but the only downside and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was that there were a little soft instead of having a nice crunch to them. After you order and get your food there is seating in booths along the sides and a long table in the center with some bar seating at the front window. Al in all a great place for lunch with some really good food.

The food is awesome. I'm a diabetic and I prefer not to eat fast food. This food is made fresh to go. The service was quick and fast.

Some restaurants make you wait for a smaller table, so it was nice that they didn't do that here. It took about 15 minutes for someone to come take our initial drink order, which was a little slow, but service moved smoothly after that with no long waits for food or additional drinks. For appetizers, we ordered the chicharrón botanero, which was delicious and perfectly crispy. Just a heads up: it's pork belly, so it's definitely on the fattier side. If you enjoy rich, crispy pork, you'll love it, but if fatty meat isn't your thing, this might not be the dish for you. For drinks, we had a flavored margarita and a mojito, and both were strong and very good. I ordered the chicken fajita taco salad. The flavor was good and the chicken was well seasoned, but there was barely any actual lettuce, which was a little disappointing since I was expecting more of a true salad. Overall, good food, strong drinks, and a relaxed atmosphere. A couple small service and balance issues kept it from being a full five stars, but I'd still come back.

Margarita Grill is a great place to meet and hangout with friends…read more My hubby wanted to celebrate his birthday here and that is what we did on 11/19/2022 and invited all of our friends and a good many showed up. The owners are great and the two bartenders working handled all of us, they worked really hard as I am sure we were a little overwhelming. Andi the owner decorated for my hubby's birthday and it was awesome. Love their food especially the Margarita bites and Shrimp tacos. The drinks were good and kept coming. They have a good happy hour to till 9pm. If you need a good neighborhood bar to hangout, this is your place.

My sister and I decided to try this spot because we saw that they had special's and it was taco…read moreTuesday. When we walked in we were greeted by the bartender. Happy hour was 3-6pm I think, and there were 2 taco specials on the board. I'm not sure if it was valid or not.. There was one person at the bar taking orders, serving drinks, and pretty much running the place. She was very busy. The anxiety of watching her try to handle everything made me a little uncomfortable. She was doing her best, and kuddos to her for not flipping a table and walking out. She was nice, but she asked us every 3-4 minutes if we knew what we were ordering. It was very aggravating. I don't think she realized after several times we were over it. The inside is pretty much a bar setting with a few booths. It's very dated and low-key kind of gloomy inside. I'd say this is a bar for locals, not really a restaurant. It's definitely the kind of food you could eat if you had a few drinks, maybe. But sober, heck no!! Lol. Ugh. I was excited to try them because they have some 5 star reviews, but it wasn't what I expected. When it was time to eat she went and got the cook from outside. We ordered 2 burgers and fries, and chicken nachos. We left and came back to pick up our order and the seats at the bar was packed at this point. The waitress met us as we walked in, with our food. I was hungry, so I tried the food in the car. The burger was definitely a frozen patty and thick as heck. It looked decent kinda sorta, in a way, maybe, just a little bit. Idk what to say. The fries were crispy but awkwardly greasy!! There was one tiny tomato on my burger and a huge onion that was a little moldy. I've never seen someone use a slice of onion this big on a burger. The burger definitely needed seasoning. I think if it had flavor it would have been decent. I'll give the burger a 4/10. My sister got the chicken nachos and she was not happy. Whatever mystery beans they had made were disgusting. They tasted old or something was off about them. The guacamole was a little sour tasting also, and the chicken was flavorless. She tried so hard to make it work, she even re-cooked the beans and it just didn't help. 2/10!!! She spent $25 and felt it was the worse decision she made all day. I wish I was exaggerating or something, but this is actual factual. The prices are reasonable, I'll say that. But it's definitely certain things to stay away from on the menu. I don't think we'd ever return. Maybe the tacos are better than what we had ordered. If you're looking for a drink maybe things would be better. I think they specialize in drinks over food!?

They were very good at refilling the chips and salsa/white sauce while we waited. Not pictured since I devoured everything and forgot to take a picture but the food was really delicious. I got the deluxe burrito which came with two large burritos and also had a birria taco. Not the best birria I've ever had but was still pretty good 4/5. I did get a picture of the reason I came here which was the soft serve margarita. It was pineapple flavored so tasted exactly like a dope whip with alcohol 10/10. Was pretty loud in there with a birthday, multiple large parties and the o all round business of cinco de mayo. Overall I would recommend this location but mainly for the soft serve margarita which I haven't been able to find this side of the water.

There were three birthdays that the crew went over and sang an enthusiastic happy birthday for, so it may be a popular place to host a birthday party (not sure if the shots of tequila were free for the b-day guest). The menu had something for everyone, but was easy to choose from. The tacos and margarita weren't anything crazy (not quite a Cali street taco) but I asked for fresh jalapeños and hot sauce (made in house) and it put the finishing touches on my dinner. I'll try a few other places while I'm in town, but Jalisco is my front runner so far.
