    Food: 3.5/5 Pricing: 2/5 Service: 2/5 Location: 3/5 I've came here a few times thanks to some gift cards but if it wasn't for that I would not come back. Portion sizes are very small and prices are very high. I've tried their chicken, shrimp, and carne asada fajitas. Flavor of the meat was good but man are the portion sizes crazy small. The size rice, beans, guac, cheese, tomatoes was so little. You also only get 4 small sized tortillas. Also tried their tacos. Hard pass. Again very small portions and the flavors were very muted. The meats were also overcooked when I had them. I had carne asada, carnitas (pork), and chicken. The highlight is probably just their chips, which are free when you eat in but cost $3 if you order them to go. Service is hit or miss. At the bar you will likely get ignored when you first walk in. They have a separate fajita menu that sometimes the server will not give you for some reason and I had to ask for it. Then depending on the server they could either be checking on you too much or completely ignoring you that you have to wave to flag them down. It took literally 20 min just for someone to close out my check. This is located in the Boro so you do get free 2 hour parking in the garage without validation on weekends and after certain hours on weekdays. So expect some foot travel time from your parking spot to the restaurant. If you want good tex-mex with decent size, go to Rango's, which is less than 2 miles away.

    Chips and salsa, not complimentary

    Went for dinner on a Saturday evening. It was pretty late, like 8:30pm. I called and they said they were still serving food so I went ahead in. The restaurant was pretty empty and when I asked the hostess she said it was Fourth of July weekend and people were out of town. I chose to sit outside because it was a really cool and not humid evening. No one else was outside which I found strange since it seemed like the A/C was broken inside. I placed my order and asked if chips and salsa were complimentary. My server said no, but I was pleasantly surprised when she brought some out to me. I guess since they were so close to closing they decided to treat me. And I'm glad they did because the chips were fire! Just the right amount of salt. For my entree I had the steak and shrimp fajitas. So good! I was full but not overly stuffed. It was all delicious.

    Vibrant Tex-Mex restaurant (reasonably priced) with delicious Salsa, Veggie Fajitas, Passion Fruit Margaritas! It's similar to Guapos and Uncle Julio's and better/cheaper than Mi Vida and Ometeo up the road in Tyson's. Hubby and I really dug into the cilantro Verde Salsa with a spicy kick served with salty tortilla chips. It's nice to have the option for a cup or bowl of Guac or Salsa. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the Salsa more than the Guacamole. Note the refill of chips is free (but not the salsa/guac). The Guac and Queso are a bit pricey. The sizzling Veggie Fajitas hit the spot with grilled mushrooms, peppers, and onions served with 4 flour tortillas and the typical fixings - black beans, Mexican rice, chihuahua cheese, sour cream, salsa, and guac. It would have been nice to have the option of corn tortillas. The Eggplant Milanese Torta sandwich (served only during the lunch menu) was okay. While the fried eggplant cutlet was crispy stuffed inside fluffy Ciabatta bread, the sandwich was quite dry. The cabbage, pickled onion, and cotija cheese didn't pair that well with the eggplant and failed to elevate the flavor. I spread some guacamole on the sandwich and tasted so much better! The Kids Meal is great and our son enjoyed the cheese quesadilla. The 4 Yucca Fries were fun to try, they were quite dense and very filling. I would save my appetite for the main course! The Churro dessert isn't like a traditional long, thick pipe shaped dessert. It's served like fries made of dough and cinnamon sugar. It tastes like funnel cake. While the Passion Fruit Margarita was refreshing it tasted identical to the Classic Margarita. While the waitress reassured us that we were served different cocktails, they tasted the same. While the Brisa Del Sol cocktail looked beautiful and fruity, it didn't taste as good as it looks. It was a bit sour and boozy, and wish it was more balanced. Will be back to score happy hour deals on the salsa and margaritas (Mon - Fri 4-7pm)!

    This spot is good, again, not going to say it's in my top 5 Tex Mex spots within the DMV, but overall there's not a ton of menu items, which means they can do really well on a small selection of items. The enchiladas here are pretty good as well as the tortas. Honestly the pancito for the tortas are a little too fancy to my liking, let me just get that bolillo with frijoles, aguacate, carne, salsa and queso. But the tortas are good.

    I've been here a couple times Food (5/5): happy hour pricing is at the table! Woo Hoo! Specials on drinks and food! Service: (5/5): Awesome server. Ambiance (4/5): It was busy on a Tuesday night for dinner. Also, at 3pm on a Saturday it was nice. Annoying rap music gets a star deducted.

    Came here with a few friends for the happy hour. Pretty good deals for food and drink. The margaritas were really good. Their quesadilla was OK but the tacos are delicious. Also, the service was actually everyone was very friendly.

    Happy hour food menu - shrimp tacos were the best
    Tiffany N.

    This place was okay - it fits the bill for what it is, a post work happy hour and corporate gathering spot. The restaurant itself is pretty cute, with an okay amount of seating and patio space. It's pretty loud inside when it's busy. The food is not bad, but pricey if not on happy hour, the shrimp tacos being the best. The drinks are just okay. The service is great though.

    Taco combo: Shrimp, carne asada, fish

    3.5 stars. We came in with a lot of worry that this would be one of those places that try to "elevate" Tex-Mex comfort food by smaller portions and higher prices. In the non-authentic category, I am allergic to those establishments, unless there is some entertainment value/unusually good location that I can justify the price tag for. El Bebe is right in the middle. Loved the corn dip and the carne asada taco. My fried fish in the taco was super dry. Nothing else left an impression. Service was friendly and the place was cute. But I can get much better tacos at Taco Bamba, or a very similar experience at Guapos/Uncle Julio's. Needs a distinguisher to be someone's go-to.

    Service: decent because it was not busy and i expected a bit more attention from the staff there. Food: HH specials was good. I had the shrimp and chicken tinga tacos. The shrimp tacos was sooooooo good. Ambiance: nice and clean Soooo last minute choice to come here or Circa. I got 7 other ladies to come and it was a good location with decent parking. Good was ok, service good....would i come back? Not sure. There are so MANY restaurants in Tysons that I'm like - what makes you feel u stand out? I came there for HH 4-7pm but will I be back? HMMMMMM

    Trio dip appetizer was phenomenal.

The signature fish is what we always go for, whether it's a bowl or taco. Their other tacos like chorizo, shrimp, steak etc are always so delicious! When dining in, you just pay for your meal, grab your table number and find your own seat. Very simple and easy. They offer free water cups near the entrance or near the bathroom hall. There's silverware and paper towels on each table. Very thoughtful. If you want to bring your fur baby, they're more than welcome to sit outside at their outdoor dining with you! Highly recommend!

    I may have gotten the completely wrong thing, but the two items I spent $23 on, were really not…read morethat great. I came in on a Thursday afternoon for lunch. They have indoor and some outdoor seating. Service was friendly and fast- probably the best part of the visit. I ordered a tortilla soup and the small steak quesadilla. I did like you could order some "smaller" options. I originally wanted blackened fish tacos but got notice on their website that they were only doing blackened salmon which wasn't what I was craving. You get a number and your food is run out to you. The food came out pretty quickly while I was sitting outside. The small quesadilla came out first- it was a nice size, especially if you were getting other items. The steak had initially decent flavor - it almost reminded me more of barbacoa then steak. However as I had a few more bites, the steak was very greasy and the 2 cheese blend they used was a bit overwelming and fatty. I could only eat 2/4 without feeling a bit sick from the fat content. Also, I was surprised the quesadilla was served with no dips- no pico, no sour cream, no salsa for 9.75$ - feels a bit of a rip off. Now the real star of the unfortunate show- the tortilla soup. It was probably the worst tortilla soup I had. It was very brothy but without flavors- veggies were raw or undercooked and there were barely any tortilla pieces. They added a lot of chicken but the chicken was bizarre- most chicken tortilla soups have finely cut chicken or shredded chicken. It looked like they put in a whole scoop of taco chicken meat- the pieces were chunky, fatty, and barely fit on the spoon. Overall it was off putting, nothing melded together and with almost no flavor, I was left really disappointed. Did I get all the wrong things? Maybe. I may try it again one day but it was truly a huge let down.
