Food - was fantastic! I had the mixed fajitas and they were the best I've ever had! We were a party…read moreof 4 and everyone enjoyed their food Service - was a bit slow but it was Cinco de Mayo and I don't think they expected the crowds. It took forever to get silverware even though we asked repeatedly Ambiance - was just like it should be at a Mexican restaurant should be. We haven't been there since it first opened and that was before Covid. We will definitely go more often! Hopefully on a less crowded day.

The food overall wasn't bad, and I want to give credit to our server Kirby, because he was great…read moreand really tried to help. Unfortunately, the way our concern was handled by the owner left a lot to be desired. We ordered the queso fundido and really did not enjoy it. To us, it tasted like fake Velveeta--very processed and not at all what we expected from queso fundido. When we asked to send it back, our server returned and told us the owner said there was nothing wrong with it and that we would still have to pay for it. He then asked if we could explain directly to the owner what we didn't like about it. I thought maybe there was a language barrier or misunderstanding, so I said absolutely and asked him to bring her over. About five minutes later, he came back and told us that she actually refused to come to the table and that he was trying to figure out what could be done. This was surprising as I looked back into the kitchen and saw her and we made eye contact and she still didn't come out. That was probably the most disappointing part of the experience. As the owner, if a customer has a concern--especially when they're willing to respectfully explain the issue--I would expect you to at least come over and address it. Since we were being told we had to pay for the queso anyway, I asked for it to be remade. Unfortunately, the second one tasted exactly the same. Afterward, I looked through some of the other reviews and noticed that we weren't the only customers who didn't care for the queso fundido. Several other reviewers have made similar comments about the dip, so it seems we weren't alone in our opinion. Mind you, the dip was $14- menu needs to be updated. I also ordered the birria quesadillas, which came with only three small pieces for $16. They tasted okay, but I personally didn't feel the portion size matched the price. Overall, the food was okay and our server provided great service, but the owner's unwillingness to come out and address a customer concern really changed my impression of the restaurant. A little customer service and communication could have made a big difference in the overall experience.

This was the best Mexican restaurant experience I've ever had!…read moreI normally don't have the best experience at these kind of places, but this time I had an amazing experience. The food was delicious and the guacamole I could tell was premium quality, the service was very good and my churros for dessert was so good, that normally when I am full, I will stop eating, but I made an exception this time because of how good they were, I just continued to eat it. Really recommend this place!

It's a little restaurant, but I do like the vibe of it. But as a person that just recently moved to…read moreManassas, this is the second Mexican restaurant. I've tried that and I can truly honestly say I am still on the hunt for some good Mexican food; this doesn't seem authentic at least not all of the dishes ..The fish taco presentation was nice, but still not too flavorful. I did take off some of the peppers because as you see on the picture, they put a whole bunch of red peppers that wish it had more cilantro, but I have some at home. I also got the shrimp quesadillas and even though I know I ordered to go the only thing inside the quesadilla is just shrimp and cheese! No onions, no peppers..they put lettuce, lettuce and tomato on the side either sour cream. The queso was OK, but I had to add a little seasoning. Also, I don't like on the website you can choose curbside, but they have no curbside . You still have to get out your car and get your food . I will suggest parking at the train station which is right across from it because that's the biggest parking lot.
