It's not a large space, but I did not feel cramped. There is an outdoor heated seating area as well.

However, the waitress was excellent with providing order recommendations and ensuring that we were taken care of. Drinks: I ordered the ranch water which wasn't anything spectacular. Just a simple non-sugary drink to enjoy while dining. I opted out of the fajitas but the rest of my party loved the steak and shrimp fajitas, which were part of the fajitas 2 deal. Plenty to share and I heard that the steak was cooked to perfection and the shrimp was seasoned well. I ordered the taco salad and that dish was PHENOMENAL! There is something to be said about a wet salad which manages to hold some crunchy texture to the taco strips. Also, it was perfectly chopped and all ingredients were mixed together so well. To complete the dish, I ordered a side of rice and chicken. Both were delicious but the chicken portion could use some work. Overall I'm curious to try their breakfast tacos so count me in on returning! They also offer a great happy hour so I recommend stopping by to enjoy their bar or even their cute outdoor seating.

We came in with a big group, and the entire experience was top-tier from start to finish. The menu is packed with authentic options, and everything is practically made for sharing. We ordered a spread across the table, and every single dish was high quality, deeply flavorful, and super satisfying when it came to portion sizes. I personally got to try the guacamole, the Tacos de Camarón, and the California Fish Tacos--the fish tacos with that crispy fried fish were absolutely wow! To top it off, their handcrafted cocktails are as genuine as they come. The prices are on the higher side, but given the fresh quality, great flavor, and big portions. Even with our large party, the staff was amazingly attentive and handled our table like absolute pros. Can't wait to go here again!

Amazing restaurant…read more The location is great and the vibe and energy in the restaurant is great. The employees were so kind and very attentive. Prices were good. The food was amazing. 5 stars. My girlfriend loved her burrito de asada. It was so full of flavor and tender asada. I loved my enchiladas de mole. The mole sauce was perfect. The rice and beans were great also. Finally the gorditos de asada was generational. Not only were they filled with great tasting asada and grilled veggies, but the plain Gordito literally brought me back to my abuelas gorditos she would make me growing up. Brought me to tears. I definitely plan to visit this location anytime I'm in DC.

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.

Another food runner immediately brought us water and chips and salsa. The salsa tasted a little bland and felt like it was missing some salt or some other seasoning/ingredient. We ordered another round but it was about the same. The chips were great. The seafood enchiladas I ordered were flavorful and there was a great spread of guacamole, sour cream, beans and rice. The plates were served hot and the kitchen had the good come out quite quickly which was appreciated. We'll be back!

Those were honestly my favorite. The bacon was chrisp and the shrimp moist and succulent. They were over cooked but in all fairness. The bacon needed to be crippling, which is was and the plate it hot so it continues to cook. They were still my favorite. #BaconEverything The steak was supposed to be medium but I didn't mind that it was medium well. It was a great cut however the seasoning was lacking. It came with the traditional toppings but I opted for sour cream on the side. I love a good resturant grade salas but theirs is flat. It needed some more seasoning. The port was ample and enough for 2 of us to share. The tortillas are almost like gorditas or papoosas they're so big. I had to cut mine. I didn't love it but didn't hate it either. Its definitely for a croud that wants Main stream Texmex. I love authentic with a Tia in the kitchen and abuela giving orders. It was packed for a Saturday but we ate outside. The resturant has more than enough room. Its pretty open for group seats. I didn't get a drink but they looked great.

The food is definitely more Tex Mex than Mexican but has a homey feel. The tortillas are the thick style tortillas that go well with their chicken and steak fajitas (my go to and 100% recommendation for first time customers). If you like frozen margaritas, this is the place. They do swirls or single flavors and they are strong. Will always come back for a nice homey meal.

The burrito itself was good, however, the chile was very watery causing most of the chile to fall onto the plate. While the chile is from Hatch, NM the preparation is what matters. The red chile needs to be thicker so it stays on the burrito. I gave four stars because improvements need to be made to really be New Mexico style. The cooks, no fault of their own, could benefit from training from cooks in New Mexico. Overall good burrito.

A nice evening out ruined by shady characters and business practices. Beware of tourist trap…read moreactivities! The Server added an automatic 30% tip and explained it was "management settings" on the point of sales machine. I'm sure it is often overlooked by unassuming victims. When approached and questioned the tip was added and then additionally taxed. The Server asked where are you from; as if that mattered when the customer is being ripped off. Horrible and untrustworthy tactics and individuals. NONALCOHOLIC DRINKS WERE CHARGED AS ALCOHILIC DRINKS. Utter crooks. Food - Well spiced and flavorful. Decent selection to include vegitarian options. Service- left much to be desired. Server was unenthusiastic to say the least. Every aspect of the experience lacked tremendously. Server was impatient and seemed bothered that he had to do any work besides being on his phone and watching the TV in the background; he mess up drinks, and when the food finally arrived he plated incorrectly and got an attitude when addressed in a calm manner. Ambience - slow. Not in a good way. Operations were at best lax and uncaring. Charged for a large party with only 3 people in attendance as a means to hike the overall bill.

As a girl who grew up in Colorado and then went to school in both Texas and Southern California, I…read morehave spent my years in DC struggling with one thing: finding a truly great taco or breakfast burrito. DC has incredible food from across Latin America, but when it comes to Mexican food and Tex-Mex, I have opinions. Strong ones. And I remain on my seemingly never-ending search for the perfect DC breakfast burrito. In the meantime, thank God for La Tejana. I'm incredibly lucky to live nearby, which means I can sneak over on a weekday when there's little to no line, walk in, order, and be back out ridiculously quickly. I usually bring my dog along for the adventure because the whole operation is so efficient that it really can be a quick in-and-out. The staff has also always been wonderful. My order is the Uncle P. I get three tacos, eat two for breakfast, and save the third for a little snack later. And the cilantro crema salsa? I could probably drink it. It is SO good. But we need to talk about the tortillas. Their tortillas are fantastic, and this is one of those details that makes or breaks breakfast tacos and burritos for me. I've found some decent breakfast burritos around DC, only to have the whole thing ruined by a sad store-bought tortilla. Flavor, texture--it matters! I somehow keep missing La Tejana's tortilla sales, so apparently I need to get much better at stalking their social media. I also loved when they had the bar and went a few times while it was open. Maybe it comes back someday, maybe it doesn't. Either way, I'm just happy La Tejana is here. Until DC finally delivers the breakfast burrito of my dreams, I will continue pretending three La Tejana tacos are one deconstructed miniature breakfast burrito. It's working for me.

Perfect so much so that you can sample a few and it's not some big old taco. Follow them on social media for tips, and menu items. They are not as busy at certain times. Of course it maybe busier on a weekend in the morning. There is limited seating. So be prepared to find a spot anywhere to enjoy. There is maybe a few spots inside at the window and the exterior there is a few spots at the window table and a few chairs. There was street parking available.

When you enter the restaurant, you can either order at the kiosk or the register. The menu is extensive, but I doubt there isn't something on the menu you'd like. After placing your order, you sit at one of the dining tables in the large dining area, and a staff member brings your food out to you when it's ready. All of the staff I interacted with were friendly and helpful. I ordered a chicken fajita taco and a bacon egg and cheese taco - yes, they serve breakfast items all day - and shared some queso and chips. As expected, the tacos were delicious, fresh and flavorful. The queso is one of my favorite things on the menu. If you're in the area and want to try some unique tacos, definitely try out Torchy's!
