La Naranja is on my list of Top 3 favorite restaurants in the town of Orange. You will always immediately receive your drinks and FRESH chips w/salsa. Set a timer y'all - it's been proven that your food will come out in 17min or less! Sitting at the bar is always a treat - you won't be started at as you cheer on your favorite team . I typically order the Vegetable Quesadilla! read more

Over clean location and a friendly treating at the door. A very friendly server brought us fresh tortilla chips and salsa. While I did not love the flavor, it was flavorful and not terribly runny. We ordered the Botana sampler as an appetizer and it was pretty good. I do wish the stems would have been removed, the jalapeños would have been hotter. Most common complaint I have with EVERY Mexican restaurant in Virginia, why does your queso have to be so runny? I ordered the fajitas Texanas and my wife ordered the carne asada. My fajitas were perfect, very flavorful. The only thing I would change, would be more veggies. My wife's carne was pretty good as well. The only knock, why would you put a pickled jalapeño and not a grilled? Also, nobody offered me any damned ice cream...they could probably tell from my clean plate, that it was not needed. read more

Many thanks to La Naranja for accommodating our last minute party for our daughter's 21st birthday celebration tonight! Thank you for excellent food, drinks, service and networking with me to pull this off. We love you guys! read more

Picked up tacos on taco Tuesday while heading to a swim meet. They were great! We lived in San Diego so we did the traditional style and they were better than a lot that we've had in VA. read more

While in the area visiting the Madison estate, we came across this restaurant in the same location as a former lobster restaurant. For a late lunch around 1:30PM, we were surprised to find no one else in the restaurant. However, after we were seated another three parties took other tables at around the same time. The one waiter had his challenges dealing with all the tables at the same time, but he handled the pressure well and everyone seemed appreciative of his attentive service. The food was good and the guacamole dip tasted great and seemed to be fresh made. But one enchilada was a bit tough and seemed to be overcooked. Hence only four stars. read more

Friendly staff. Prompt service. Delicious food. After a week-long craving for decent Tex-Mex cuisine, La Naranja did not disappoint. Exceeded expectation. read more

We went there on Valentine's Day so it's probably not fair to say the service was slow, but, it was. I'd been attracted by the tamales, which is something I always liked but haven't had since I was a kid, and a review praised them. I was disappointed though that it was a side dish, and it was warm-ish if that. My wife had the enchiladas which was fine. The bacon jalapeños were fantastic. read more

Today we were seated for 20 mins with no wait staff coming to ask us about drinks or anything. Other guests were seated after us and got drinks and chips/ salsa while we sat nearby with no service. We will not be going there again. Very disappointing! read more

I ordered two salads one was wrong. I called in my order and was told that it would be 30 to 35 minutes. It ended up being an hour. After 40 minutes I was kept being told five more minutes. Two of the Spanish-speaking employees did not know I knew Spanish And stated that my order was ready 10 minutes ago. This is the fourth time that this is happened to me. So I had time today to download Yelp!!!!!! I call back to speak with the manager, and they took no accountability for the service but wanted me to understand that they had a big party of 25. That had nothing to do with my order.. so I'm guessing when they have big parties it doesn't matter if the order is called in. So, expect your order to be wrong. This is a small town with not a lot of restaurants. There's only one other Mexican restaurant and they both suck!!!!!! read more

Delicious! I've been trying to find new restaurants in an effort to be adventurous. Since I went to Orange to get a COVID booster I figured I'd pick a place there that was off the beaten path. I ordered huevos rancheros and the sauces they put on top really upped the flavor value of the dish. The service was good and prices affordable. The decor is rather plain but other than that I was there for it. I recommend. read more

We eat here nearly every week. We've never been disappointed, and we try to get something different every visit. We don't have favorites yet, it's all delicious. Service, waitresses and waiters are always kind, helpful, and trained well. Waiting has never been an option, plenty of seating andwhich is also great for a small town! read more

I was in Orange for work and was looking for something affordable for lunch. This place had great service and fresh, delicious food. The complimentary chips and salsa held us over until our food arrived. I got the lunch enchiladas and the portion was generous and they were so good! If you ever find yourself in Orange with a craving for Mexican food, I would highly recommend La Naranja. read more

One of the best frozen margaritas I have ever had! Food is very fresh and wonderful service.

Good quality Mexican food. Decent drink selection, friendly staff, adequate parking arrangements, clean dinning area.

Well I stopped to check out this place and what a surprise it was. I ordered the Pollo Von Crema, which didn't have the appearance I expected, but it was wonderful. They bring you chips and salsa as well as a creamy salsa that is amazing and highly addictive. The staff are pleasant and attentive and my food came out pretty fast. I ordered flan for dessert, and it was obviously house made and really good. They currently don't have a liquor license, but they have applied and expect it soon. I highly recommend stopping here and trying it out for yourself. I don't think it will disappoint. read more

Service was terrible! We have been here multiple times and service has been worse each time. I'd recommend going elsewhere if you want fried ice cream- for some reason they are always "sold out" Food is good- maybe a better carry out restaurant read more

Great little hidden treasure! Awesome food, great service. I'd highly recommend anyone try!!

Four of us stopped in Friday night and I was impressed. Warm chips and delicious cool salsa was quickly brought to our table and devoured. More was offered and accepted. The meals were all very good, flavorful and well prepared including a couple of tasty hamburgers served with a nice bacon wrapped, stuffed jalapeño. Our first visit here, definitely not our last! Much better than the local competitor on 15. read more

We came here from Fredericksburg on a recommendation. While the food was okay the service was soooooooo bad. Every table around us had an attentive server. We saw ours maybe twice. Took her more than 20 minutes to even greet us. When we were done it was another 30 until she brought us the check. The place wasn't crowded and there was plenty of staff. We just lucked out with a server. If this were closer maybe we'd come back but not worth the ride after this experience read more

My daughter and I went last night for the first time after reading a friends favorable review on Facebook. I didn't realize there was a Tex Mex restaurant in Orange. My only other experience with a Tex Mex restaurant was great so I was hoping this would be too. The inside of the restaurant has had a pleasant face lift since last I had been in it years ago when it was something different. We were seated in a booth and were served chips, salsa, and a ranch dipping sauce. We had a most attentive waitress during our visit. I ordered the chimichangas and they were really good covered in a white creamy cheese. I got one ground beef and one chicken. I'm glad they have the option to try both and I'm also glad they have the ground beef option because some places don't. The chicken and ground beef were so flavorful (seasoned well) and just like I had hoped to find again and I was delighted. I don't normally care for rice and beans but the beans were actually really tasty and I ate them all. I honestly wish there was more meat in the chimichangas because I had a few bites of each that had no meat and that was disappointing. I am usually a person who normally gets full quickly and takes food home every time I go out. I ate everything and couldn't help thinking someone else may not get full on that meal so I would perhaps keep that in mind. read more

Skip. Came here for a casual dinner after a lovely girls day winery tour. It was nearly empty on Saturday night and now we know why. Chips were stale, queso and salsa were 100 percent watered down. My el pastor tacos with steak, chorizo, and grilled pineapple (supreme style) were fine. Friend got enchiladas, said they were fine. Our food came out so quick though it made us wonder, but we didn't complain because we got to leave sooner. They give you free fried ice cream in exchange for a good review which is why I'm convinced they have so many stars. No amount of free fried ice cream is worth it, go elsewhere. read more

Best burger in town no doubt (Naranja Burger). Good chips, salsa, and white sauce to start with great service and a nice outdoor patio with umbrellas. Our newest go to spot. read more

Best Tex Mex food in the area. Service was very friendly, and food came out fast and hot. Must try if in the area! Update: Third visit there today. Simply amazing food and staff. Hands down the best restaurant in orange at the moment. read more

In town for a wedding and the search for food was tougher because of covid. We were hungry so we didn't want to go too far after the drive here. Some places we looked at were closed and others were poorly rated. The staff was friendly and attentive. Food was really good as well. read more

Food is always great. Service has gone WAY down hill recently. I'm willing to write off bad service one time as an "off day" or "short-staffing", but not twice. Two times in the past two weeks we had the same server. She ignored us and kept helping other tables both times. The first time, we actually got chips, salsa, and drinks before she forgot about us and we walked out. Second time, she never even came to take our drink order and kept helping other tables. So we walked out again. That kind of service is inexcusable, and we won't be back. read more

Loved this place! We were checking out different wedding venues in the area and stumbled upon this sweet spot. We had Kiana as our server and she rocked! First we got chips and salsa (so good and we were starving) with an order of queso. I got the Lunch #2 special with 2 enchiladas ($7.50) and my fiancé had the chimichanga. GOOD! When we come back to the area to check out more venues we will defiantly be stopping back here for lunch. read more

Wonderful customer service. The staff was so friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. Outdoor seating was very convenient. Overall a place. We'll be back. read more

Wow, where do I begin. The service here is the best in Orange. The staff is phenomenal and the service is always in a timely manner. The waiters are extremely kind and they always enhance the dining experience. Now for the best part, the food. If you haven't dined here, the food speaks for itself. It can only be described as exceptional. Over the course of opening day, I'd say I've tried the vast majority of the food here, and I've never once been disappointed. The food is extremely fresh and reflects authentic style Mexican food perfectly. My mouth is watering as I'm writing this review just thinking about eating it. Overall, La Naranja is my personal favorite restaurant in the Orange area, and it's most certainly worth the trip. read more

The food is delicious the service is amazing I love eating here and it's just good and not many restaurants in orange are good or have great service like this and they serve the food fast I love it here 10-10 read more

What a lovely place in Orange and so appropriately named, La Naranja! The staff and service? Great! and the young owners most gracious. The food was delicious, especially the guacamole which is what was calling me as I drove down Constitution Highway. Orange is also a lovely town, so it is well worth the trip to check out this new restaurant. Inside it is very comfortable and spacious, suitable for a big event or a cozy luncheon with an outdoor spot outback. And I noticed that "futbol" was on in the bar. I can't wait to tell my Carribbean son-in-law where we will watch the next World Cup! Lots of specials!!! I can't wait to go back! read more

Out of the two Mexican restaurants in Orange, this one is the best. The food is great, prices are fair, and most importantly, the employees are kind and very good at what they do. This has become a regular place for my family. read more

Great Mexican food in a relaxed atmosphere. One of only a few good restaurants in Orange.

From the first look at the menu I was super excited to try this place out and the first opportunity actually ended up ordering food to go! My co-worker and I ordered food to eat during a work event and I was beyond impressed when I saw the feast that had been prepared! Everything was so well packed and the food was AMAZING! I had the carnitas and the meat was so flavorful and juicy and well cooked that I could not stop eating it! The guacamole was super fresh and chunky making a delicious paring with the chips. And the churros were simply delicious, a perfect sweet treat! After such a great experience we took our other co-workers to lunch and the in person experience was just as great! Friendly staff and still the same amazing yummy food! Definitely worth going- and now on our office rotation! read more

Our service was satisfactory and there was no wait on a Saturday night. These are our only positive notes from our dining experience. It appears the salsa and queso were watered down. The chips were stale. The Patron margarita was definitely not made with fresh-squeezed lime juice. The food -- enchiladas and tacos -- were just fine. We were surprised to read so many positive reviews. Then, we were offered free fried ice cream if we left a positive review. No thank you. read more

Disgusting and poor service, fajitas were refried. given tapatio with no lid. No soap in bathroom how are employees washing hands? Food was awful!!! And ignored by bartender, had to ask for every thing Never checked in!!! This place used to be great!!! Not anymore! read more

Salsa, chips, cheesy queso goodness. Perfect for when you're in the mood for a big portion of Tex-Mex. Try their churros!

Food was delicious (recommend the quesadillas), staff was super friendly and it was very clean and nice. Prices were great, definitely recommend. read more

The wait staff is incredibly friendly, the food is exactly what you hope for when you drive by or look it up on yelp, good and inexpensive Mexican food. I'll definitely go back, happy to spend time and money here with friends read more

Great food, best California burritos, but all the food is awesome and the service is good also.

Since this Mexican restaurant opened up, I have been about 5 times. I order something new every time, and I'm always satisfied. The ACP, Chori pollo, and avocado Chicken salad are incredible. They have the potential to be something big in town, with the bar and upcoming specials. They will be around for a long time. Best Mexican restaurant in Orange for sure. read more
