After adventuring out into DC during the weekend, my partner and I wanted to grab some food close…read moreto the metro stops in Falls Church or Fairfax. I wasn't feeling up to the big chains and places I wanted to try seemed to close early. Luckily this place was open and I had been wanting to try it for a while. Definitely it let a hidden gem! There are some parking spots right in front, although not many. There is a decent amount of seating, but it would be tight if you had a large party. My partner did note that the bathrooms weren't that great. You immediately get served complementary chips and salsa. They were pretty basic, but not bad. We ordered the following: + Papusas (Pork and Cheese & Loroco and Cheese) - Decent, although I prefer the Loroco (an edible flower bud). + Pollo à la Primavera (chicken dish) - Yummy, especially the sauce which mixes well with their hot/spicy sauce too! I could do without the salad dressing. + Camarones con Calabeza (shrimp dish) - Same as above! Note they leave the tails on. + Natural Juices (Mango and Maranon) - So refreshing! I loved the Maranon (cashew apple) was a wonderful burst of tropical sweetness with a subtle nutty taste. I appreciate that for the pupusas they had the foresight to provide my partner and I two plates so we could sphere the papusas. The portion sizes of the entrees were great for the price. It did take a while for the staff to swing by so that we could get boxes and the check. Note that credit cards and mobile pay are accepted. I definitely wouldn't mind coming back again to try more items on their menu.

Sooo good! One of my favorite restaurants in the area.

Beef taquitos- good! Carne asada fajitas- the best! They cooked the steak perfectly, seasoned sooo well, and so tender and juicy. Definitely will order every time we come here! Birria tacos- good Churros- good

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.

tldr; solid tex-mex joint. Get your fix here…read more Can be busy during weekends and peak hours, which is warranted. Food is delicious. Complimentary chips + salsa. We got a Boom-boom enchilada and a steak fajitas. Boom-boom sauce is great - heavy, cheesy, very tex mex. Love it. Comes with a generous amount of refried beans and rice. You can swap out sides if you want. Fajitas was delicious too - lots of food and the toppings were generous. Service can be hit-or-miss depending on the time you go. We once came in on a busy Saturday evening - great and attentive service. We also came in on a slow Tuesday evening - inattentive service and mistakes in some of our dishes

The Combination platter of Paneer Enchilada and Potato Spinach and Cheese Taquito along with an a la carte Caulilflower taco was a great way to sample the menu! The Paneer Kathi roll is hands-down the best kati roll I've had! The Paneer Enchilada hit the spot with a creamy cheesy Tikka sauce while the the Spinach Cheese Potato Masala Taquito had a spicy kick! The Mexican rice was great for mopping up the sauce and absorbing the spiciness. It was a bummer the Cauliflower Taco wasn't an option for the Combination Platter of 3 (only the meat tacos were an option). I'm glad I ordered it a la carte for $8 - it was worth it! The crispy Cauliflower had a sweet and tangy sauce stuffed in 2 thin tortillas. Interestingly enough, all 3 items - the Enchilada, Taquito and taco had completely different sauces and flavors. The Happy Hour from 3-6:30pm Mon-Fri has good deals - try the Kathi Paneer roll! The roll is a generous size with tender scrumptious paneer stuffed in warm cheesy tortilla. I'll opt out of the jalapenos/chili next time. it added a spicy kick! The Masala Fries were like Indian version of spicy Disco fries. They were fun to try, but they were soggy from all of the sauce and a bit too spicy. I wish the sauces came on the side. The $8 flavored Margarita on happy hour is a great deal. I enjoy the Guava Margarita. The complementary chips were fine and a bit salty, nothing really special (I wouldn't fill up on them). The giant Watermelon Pina Colada Mocktail was very sweet and tasted like watermelon cotton candy slushie. My daughter loved it! I wasn't a fan of the Classic Margarita, Mezcal Passion fruit Margarita, or the Sangria on happy hour, the flavors weren't quite balanced out. The drinks were very tangy flavor and I wish the sangria was a bit sweeter and had a heavy flavor from the Triple Sec. I threw up outside the restaurant after drinking the Mezcal Passion fruit Margarita. Note - the restaurant doesn't take online or phone reservations for parties under 10, but I didn't wait long (10 min) for a party of 5 for Saturday lunch at 1pm (3 of 5 had to be there). Excited to come back to satisfy my cravings for the Paneer Enchiladas and Paneer Kathi Roll and Guava Margarita on happy hour!

We made reservations at 5:30pm and it was nice weather. The only downfall is the rude and loud people driving and trying to show out on in their cars while driving on the strip like it's Vegas. Will definitely come here again!

I really enjoyed myself here. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, this is not the place…read more But, if you want solid Mexican with a nice vibe; this is a cool spot. I came early on a Friday around 5:00PM. It was fairly empty, and by 6:30PM, it filled with patrons. I ordered Pacifico on draft, which is not included within Happy Hour, and their 22 ounce glass is not cheap. I ordered beef fajitas for my meal. They provided a really nice complimentary tortilla and two salsas, which got me started with my beer on an empty stomach. The fajita's came with rice and beans. I enjoyed the entire dish and had a great time. Mosaic is a really cool area that I try to visit when I'm in this part of Virginia because of the variety of restaurants and shops. It's just a cool place that we don't have anywhere in NYC. Mosaic actually has a city vibe without the headache of parking and commotion. There's a huge three or four level parking garage, with street parking.

But after our first visit, we were impressed enough with the food that we came back soon after to try more of the menu! On our first visit, we ordered the lomo saltado, and it was really flavorful and delicious. We also tried the carne asada, which came covered in a brown gravy--not exactly what we expected to see on our steak! We were hesitant at first, but once we took a bite, we realized it was actually very tasty. Definitely not what we expected based on how it looked. The margarita was okay. On our return visit, we ordered the steak and shrimp, and wow--the flavor was absolutely delicious! The steak had an amazing flavor. We also tried the steak with onions, which comes topped with plenty of sautéed onions. It was very good, but the skirt steak with shrimp is still our favorite. We came back again for brunch and tried the steak and eggs, which was pretty tasty and served on a sizzling platter. They also have a $30 brunch option where you can choose three menu items, get brunch drinks at a substantially reduced price, and receive a dessert. That's a pretty good deal! The restaurant also has a large menu with plenty of choices, so there is still a lot for us to try. The customer service has been consistently good, and we really enjoy their fresh, tasty chips and salsa. The chips are crisp and flavorful, and the salsa is delicious. We've now been back several times and will definitely return to try more menu items. There are some surprisingly delicious dishes here!

I ordered a burrito. What arrived was a tortilla wrapped around an alarming quantity of rice with occasional sightings of the ingredients I had actually paid for. If I wanted a bowl of rice, I would have ordered rice. If I wanted a burrito, I would have preferred a burrito. The restaurant is attractive, the staff was friendly, and the meal was edible. But I left wondering why an upscale Tex-Mex restaurant would use so much rice that the actual filling felt like a garnish. A burrito should be memorable for its flavor, not for the archaeological excavation required to locate the meat.

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 decor is vibrant and inviting. We tried a variety of food: sharp dressed man, Baja taco, walking taco, and half pound pork ribs. The margarita was good and he liked the beer selection. My favorite parts were the cinco de mayo specials for drinks and the sharp dressed man. Didn't love the total price at the end but would certainly do any specials or HH.

Awesome service and enjoyable food make Hi/Fi a unique and enjoyable stop in the Mosaic District…read more They have a unique BBQ & Tex-Mex menu and they offer both BBQ and Tex Mex items or some items that are the best of both worlds. The chips and guacamole was enjoyable. Nothing special about the chips but they did the job, The guacamole was very tasty and a large enough portion to fill all the chips. The tacos here are a must try! The Taco El Vis is a tribute to the King himself. It's a unique taco I've never seen anywhere else and is smoky bacon, peanut butter, sweet and sour habanero and smoked crema. It might sound odd but it all works together perfectly for a unique and very enjoyable taco. The Sharp Dressed Man is also enjoyable but not quite as unique as El Vis. It has homemade smoked brisket, homemade queso, pico, and crema on a corn tortilla. The sides are worth a try as well. The plantains are perfectly seasoned and freshly fried. The black beans are also hot and fresh though I don't think we got the cojita and pickled onions Drinks are also a hit here. The Tommy's margarita is a tasty basic margarita while the Al Pastor margarita has mezcal, rum, pineapple and smoke bitters for a unique and enjoyable smoky taste. Service is very friendly here and they have a record/music theme with amps in the back and classic rock hits playing. They have a few shuffleboard tables and a vintage Golden Tee machine if you want to play some golf. This place isn't cheap (welcome to Mosaic) but it's an enjoyable spot with tasty food/drinks and awesome service and I'll come here again.

They have both inside and outside dining. We ate inside because a live band was playing salsa outside, and it was too loud for us. I love to dance salsa, and if I weren't hungry and tired, I would have definitely danced a song or three with my wife. In other words, this is a great place to come for good Mexican food and maybe a little dancing.
