Stopped here on our way through home from Washington DC. First of all I wanna compliment the server Patty. She did an exceptional job, very friendly and professional. If You have more people like this working in the food industry, You cannot go wrong. Whoever owns this joint needs to make sure she is paid well to stay there. The food was exceptional and the Price was on point. The margarita was good. read more

Traveling back to Virginia and stopped here along the way. Very clean restaurant with an appropriately priced menu and a wide variety of foods. My chilaquiles were amazing and my special drink (mangonada) was tasty. Only place for improvement was the service, but it seemed she was in charge of all the tables, so definitely understandable. read more

Don Eladio's Cantina - Mangonada - Mexican Near Me - King George, Virginia

Don Eladio's Cantina in King George, Virginia provided an outstanding and authentic Mexican dining experience that truly exceeded expectations. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and lively -- the kind of environment that immediately puts you in the mood for a great meal. We started with the queso dip, which was nothing short of phenomenal -- rich, creamy, and perfectly seasoned. It paired wonderfully with their fresh, crispy tortilla chips. The house margarita was another highlight; it had a perfect balance of flavor and strength, easily one of the best I've had in quite some time. For my entrée, I ordered the chicken quesadilla and added shrimp, and I have absolutely no complaints. The quesadilla was perfectly cooked -- golden on the outside, loaded with tender chicken, juicy shrimp, and melted cheese on the inside. The portion sizes were generous, leaving me more than satisfied by the end of the meal. The service was just as impressive as the food. Our server was attentive, friendly, and efficient, ensuring everything came out quickly and exactly as ordered. Overall, Don Eladio's Cantina is a must-visit spot for anyone in or passing through the King George area who's craving high-quality, authentic Mexican cuisine. I'll definitely be returning and highly recommend it to others looking for great food, drinks, and service. read more

Weekend lunch date with my daughter and granddaughter. We started with margaritas, of course! Good and not too strong. We had the tableside guacamole, which was NOT prepared tableside, which knocked them down a star in my book. The guacamole was good and fresh, but name it something else if you are not actually bringing the cart over to the actual table! The service was good, and the food was tasty. We had Birria tacos and chicken nachos. Everything was fresh and authentic. We will return. read more

I've been here a lot. And the food is usually good. I ordered chili relleno was not fresh frozen. First order was cold inside. Second order hot. But still taste frozen. Get something else or skip it. Sad. Use to be really good. read more

This restaurant is within walking distance from my hotel. I went for lunch. The restaurant wasn't crowded. I was greeted and immediately seated in a booth. The restaurant atmosphere is nice, clean and relaxing. The waitress brought fresh chips and salsa to my table. I ordered the lunch chicken fajita, corn tortillas, refried beans and rice. The meal was delicious and a generous portion. read more

I can't wait to get the queso Birria tacos again, they were so good. We also got the sampler appetizer that came with chicken quesadillas, chicken flautas, and beef nachos, also good. I wasn't a fan of the rice and beans but everything else was very good. read more

Tried this place for the first time because there just aren't that many sit-down restaurants in the area. Staff was all decked out in holiday sweaters and handing out gift cards to patrons! Got delicious glazed salmon and fried avocado. He got carnitas and a huge blue margarita. We were both stuffed and happy. read more

By far the best Mexican food around here. Service is always good. Ambiance is as expected. Always clean.

They have such a huge menu! It was so great. Plus they had a big selection of vegetarian items

I ordered this takeout while traveling and was really impressed by the food's quality, packaging, and taste. They also had a decent bar that had sports on their tv. read more

Don Eladio's Cantina - Chix & Beef Taquitos and Seafood Chimichanga (fried) - Mexican Near Me - King George, Virginia

My husband and I went there for dinner, and at first, we were seated in a booth. There was a very loud guy seated in the one next to us, and our waitress was very accommodating when we asked to move. The food was delicious! We've had a hard time finding good Mexican food since we moved out here from California. The guacamole is made fresh for your table. read more

I forgot to leave a review, as we used to come here for around 10 yrs when it was Pancho Villa. Food and service is still really good. We usually get fish tacos, fajitas, or the vegetarian build your own combo.. but whatever the order you HAVE to get horchata !!! .. a trip here just isn't complete without horchata. Fresh chips and salsa are always a plus, even when you order take out via online. read more

Cute location, kichsy but lovable indoor decor and small outdoor patio. Given the geographic location, it was pretty good. It's not fine dining but it is solid tex-mex. I have a really soft spot in my heart for taco salad bowls and was only too happy to give the fajita bowl a try. It was delicious! Wish more places would give it a try. We spent a huge amount of time sitting on the patio talking after finishing our food and didn't get any pressure to leave, other than being offered the dessert menu. Pricing reasonable and if I was in the area again, it is a place I would come back to read more

Don Eladio's Cantina - Vegetarian fajita bowl - Mexican Near Me - King George, Virginia

dining was quiet and enjoyable. The dinner was very tasty and fresh. Their daiquiri was delicious. First visit, but we will be back.

Ordered a taco salad and the lettuce was so heavy it overrode the salad making the shell soggy from the water off the lettuce. Thought we'd try it again and it was awful. Heavy lettuce when we asked for light lettuce there were no tomatoes and very little hamburger making it very dry. Also, the salsa was watered down. Cutting corners but not the prices! There won't be a third time as we are not going back again. read more

Frankie was the man at the bar. Good food when we stopped by for some drinks and bites.

My taco salad was basically all lettuce!!! Such a waste of money. Stuffed with lettuce with a spoonful of chicken and other toppings on top of the shell. Rip off. We have come here a lot but the food is becoming skimpy and not worth the money. Also ordered the table side guac and didn't see them make it at all. read more

In town for work and was staying close by. I had to get my Mexican food fix... ate here all week with leftovers for lunch...staff was great... food was fresh and hot (they warn about the plate pay attention)...would recommend and come back read more

The staff here are our favorite. We had stoped going since having so many bad experiences but we have since decided they have stepped up their game! We came right before Halloween and they were packed but we still got our food in a timely manner. read more

Good food and good service! Churros and flan were great to finish the meals with. The quesadilla was hard to handle and messy. Loved the fajitas and I added jalapeños for an extra kick. I wish more guacamole came with it. read more

A great spot with delicious food. I had the Margarita chicken and shrimp, which was very tasty. I also had a side of plantaints. They put cinnamon on them, which was not bad, but now that I know, I would tell them to hold the cinnamon. read more

Great service, delicious food, cool Mexican decor. We were served complimentary chips and salsa with refills. We ordered the nachos supreme with no beef and the chicken in the side to make it veg friendly for me and the veggie fajitas. Both were delicious. This was a great stop while staying a night in the area! read more

Good "Mixed - Steak, Chicken and Shrimp" Fajitas but the star of the show was the Queen-Birria Tacos!!!! Table side Guacamole "Spicy" was also very good!!! And not overly inflated pricing. I will be back read more

Best Quesa Birria tacos! We live in Maryland and cross the bridge to come here. Their cuisine is way better than anything offered in Charles/St. Mary's counties. We have been to Mexico and these absolutely are comparable to our experiences there eating authentic Mexican street tacos. read more

I don't know where all these negative reviews come from. But I stopped in to Don Eladios for a late lunch and it was DELICIOUS! I got the San-Garita and the Chilaquiles and it was *chefs kiss*. There isn't a lot of good authentic Mexican food in VA, and Don Eladios doesn't disappoint! 10/10! read more

This place was absolutely delicious! And, the staff was very friendly and attentive while we were there. We ordered the cheese sauce appetizer with our chips, which was great. My partner and I shared a 32oz frozen margarita - we were very impressed with the $10 price. I ordered the chicken enchilada tapatias and my partner ordered the chicken chimichangas. We loved how hot the meals were and how delicious they were. The servings were a great size, we were both very full after finishing our plates. Yum!! read more

My coworkers and I (4 of us) visited this place the other day. The menu was large. The bartender and manager helped us with our selections. The SERVICE was EXCELLENT! The FOOD was OUT OF THIS WORLD! That was probably the BEST MEAL! I ever had! Lol! We are from South New Jersey. I want to take my family on a trip. Just to try it! IT WAS THAT GOOD! read more

Food, Service & Drinks consistently excellent. Best Nachos I've had since once of my trips to Santo Domingo

Don Eladio's is solid tasty food. Sometimes service is a little slow but nothing bad. Only while they are busy. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because their jalapeño poppers are too hot and I like heat but this was ridiculous. read more

My husband and I love eating here! Their margaritas and the Don Eladio Sampler appetizer are our favorites. Last time we both got the enchiladas and loved them but have tried other menu items and never had anything we didn't like! Highly recommend. read more

Under new management and renamed. Formerly Pancho Villa Mexican Eatery. Legitimately good Mexican food. Service was great - they had my order ready for take out in 20 min as promised. They also offer curbside service with a credit card over the phone. I walked into the restaurant to get a paper menu, but they also have a full menu on their website. I ordered the supreme nachos with beef and al pastor street tacos. They included chips and salsa as a part of my order. The nachos were great with fresh chips made in-house and a decent portion of shredded beef. The Al pastor tacos were wonderful with flour tortillas, grilled bbq pork, and pineapple infused salsa. The tacos also came with additional salsa, guacamole, and spicy hot sauce. The food was definitely more upscale than a typical fast food restaurant. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

If they try put you in the other room, don't go. You'll be sitting in timeout aka Siberia. No one pays sttention to you in here. Drinks took forever. Literally came out at the same time as our food and there was only a total of 6 tables when we came in. Food was very good, service was very horrible. Had to ask 4 times for hot sauce. Waiter barely even checked on us. Came out and simply asked if we were ready for the check,, didn't even ask how the meal was. They still use drink menus from when the place was called "Pancho Villa". The manager, or who I assumed was, walked by twice, didn't speak or ask how things were. He was too busy with his head in his phone. This place used to be good, not do much now. See attached pics for white powedery substances in the men's room. Mind you they say they are clean on the front by the front door. read more

Good food and service. From the chips and salsa to the street tacos platter everything was fresh and delicious. If you are in the neighborhood I highly recommend it. We went in for a weekday lunch and the service was fast and friendly. Our waitress came back several times to check on us. read more
