    Pupusa - stuff with cheese, chicken, and tomatoes. Absolutely delicious!!
    Linda B.

    My friend and I ordered through Uber Eats in the food arrived quickly! All of the food was fantastic! We enjoyed it very much! My friend ordered the skirt steak and he absolutely enjoyed it very much! He actually got a pupusa on the side. And he enjoyed that a lot! I got a stuffed pupusa and it was very tasty! I ordered a cheese enchilada and a beef enchilada, and it came with rice, refried beans, and a salad, which were very tasty!! We both enjoyed our dinners so much that we will be definitely ordering from here again and again!!

    shrimp taco salad was amazing

    Steak, BBQ, chicken Fajita Platter
    Khang H.

    Even though the restaurant opened more than a year ago, I finally got the chance to try it out. Great service and I love the friendly and caring staff. The mango marg was huge and delicious. I got BBQ ribs, steak, and chicken fajitas. The chicken was a little bit on the dry side, but overall, it was still a great dish. I definitely will be back to try out other dishes.

    Taco Salad

    Los Carnales Bar and Grill is a must-visit for amazing Mexican food and strong, delicious drinks! Tried the passion fruit margarita and strawberry-lime margarita. Both were perfectly balanced and potent. Not sure which I liked more. The chicken, beef, and chorizo fajitas were flavorful and tender, while the chips in the queso dip were light and airy--totally different from the crispy chips and salsa, which were also great. The standout dish? Easily the chilaquiles! It was absolutely amazing! Rich, flavorful, with the perfect mix of crunch and creaminess from the egg. Portions were huge, and the staff was fantastic. Can't wait to return!

    Chicken Burrito
    Ronni E.

    We so badly need a solid, good Mexican restaurant in western NOVA. Los Carnales has the potential to be that spot. The service and interior prevent me from giving less than 3 stars and the food prevents me from giving it 5 stars. We all had burritos or chimichangas. The pulled chicken is solid but I think they tried to simmer it in a tinga-like sauce, but it was too salty and wet for a burrito. The flavor of the Mexican rice was diluted by the frozen carrots and peas. I would suggest get rid of the peas and carrots and consider putting the rice in the burrito with better seasoning, onions and peppers. The refried beans were homemade but the flavor was very lacking. The plates were plentiful and the prices are fair, but the flavor has to deliver! I will gladly come back again and again if the chefs can tweak the flavor. I am rooting for you!

    Guacamole with chicharrones
    Samantha M.

    Went for a little date night on a Friday evening and it was pretty slow inside. The service was great- but everything was a little overpriced. We ordered the guacamole because the salsa wasn't too great. But little did we know the guacamole was $27!! We paid around $70 just for an appetizer and 1 drink each. Did not expect that!! I will probably return for the drinks because they were pretty good and it is hard to come across a decent margarita in the area.

    AMAZING PLACE TO CELEBRATE Your loved ones special occasions. Here we are for my Queens Birthday, they also welcome our furry love ones.
    Sandy D.

    Absolutely everything, no complains what so ever. Family oriented place, with a welcoming environment. Great drinks and food! One of the best parts, our furry friends are welcome as well. Oh yes, and you can also enjoy FOOTBALL ON SUNDAYS

    Complimentary Chips & Salsa
    Christine H.

    Came here for a team lunch and the place was pretty empty. We were greeted and taken to our table. Waiter brought out chips and salsa and our drinks. So when I placed my order, he asked me how I wanted it cooked. I thought it was very very odd since it was a pork dish. Maybe he was confusing it for a steak dish. It came out COVERED in onions. The queso was a bit salty and gave me velveeta vibes. Overall, the food was decent, but not the best.

    Beef Chimichanga
    Dana P.

    My family visited Los Carnales Tex Mex Grill last night and we had a good experience. The service was excellent and our waiter was helpful with making suggestions. I ordered the beef chimichanga, my husband ordered the masita de puerco and our kids ordered a kids chicken burrito and cheese quesadillas. Overall, I thought the food was tasty. The pork was a little salty though. I really enjoyed the chimichanga. The meat was a short rib rather than ground beef, which is what I was expecting. It was very flavorful. I did feel that the chips seemed from a bag rather than homemade, I liked this restaurant and I would come back again.

    **TO GO Review** 5/5 - Will Repeat, found my favorite Tex mex in Chantilly area. Call it flavor town. Containers were perfect for takeout and the food held up well. Chips, light and airy Guacamole, fresh/flavorful Tacos Al carbon Steak, must get. Shrimp Fajita, juicy and full of flavor Papusa+mix Chicken Tamale, not dry. I prefer drier ones but still full of flavor

I thought the one taco per order might be small so we ordered a lot but actually the serving sizes for everything is huge!! Sweet soy sliced rib eye - 4/5 packed with soft yummy meat that's not overwhelmed in the sauce. So many veggies that made this a pretty refreshing taco! Beef birria ramen - 4/5 the consume broth seems to be mixed with the ramen powder since it was much more flavorful and delicious than the regular consume that comes with the birria tacos and quesadilla! Eggs were cooked nicely, fully cooked but bouncy still. Beef pieces were flavorful and slightly dry (most places are much drier in the soups) and was a super yummy combination with the noodles Beef birria quesadilla- 4/5 super packed with nice mozzarella cheese and so much meat! Heavy but so delicious. Consume is kinda watery. Guac seems fresh! Chicken birria - 3.5/5 very very yummy, meaty and cheesy! Consume same as quesadilla

    Stopped at this location on my way to DC. I sat at the bar, but there was plenty of indoor seating…read moreavailable. I took the bartender's recommendation and ordered a margarita, garlic Parmesan wings, and nachos. I also ordered a churro cookie, which had the perfect amount as soon as it was nice and soft. The garlic Parmesan wings were amazing perfectly crisp, well-done, and had a nice sweet, savory flavor. The nachos were really good as well, although I thought the portion was a little small, especially for the price. The margarita was pretty typical made from a slushy machine but it did the job. The pricing was somewhat reasonable. Two shots were $16 each, and the small margarita was around $10. Bathroom and restaurant was pretty clean and customer service was amazing. The parts was extremely friendly and pretty funny. Overall, it was a solid stop with good food, and I'd definitely order those wings again

The Food: This time around, I went for their happy hour and wanted to explore options aside from their tacos. I got their Bamba Wings and a Cup O'Bamba. The wings were absolutely delicious! I got their Garlic Chili flavor and you can smell the garlic flavor from miles away. Chicken was cooked nice and tender and the whole flavor profile was amazing. The Cup O'Bamba is basically just a small bowl packed with protein of choice, beans, rice and an egg. Still good, but nothing noteworthy to write home about. Tacos here are still great, no doubt. The Service: Service here was good. I've always found this location to be just a little slower for some reason, even when I've put in online orders for a certain time. But other than that, staff was friendly and not much to complain about besides service speed. The Atmosphere: Nice big space with plenty of seating. It has a long bar to sit at with TV's spanned across to watch any sports games if you'd like. Nice decor all around. Overall, a 5/5. Definitely coming back again and highly recommend any Taco Bamba location.

The Food: I always get the tacos here, specifically the Lengua, Al Pastor and the Carne Asada. All the meats were incredibly tender and flavorful, just cooked to perfection. The toppings and salsa just add that extra level of satisfaction to your meal too. The consistency of quality here whenever I visit has always been the same, and that's why I keep coming back here. Portions are also very generous here for the price. The Service: Service was great. I've had both ordering experiences inside the restaurant and outside at their food truck and had no issues with wait times or quality. Overall, a 5/5. Would highly recommend giving this place a try if you're looking for some delicious tacos.

My favorites were definitely the birria tacos and the sope. Price: 3 birria tacos for $12 -- pretty fair pricing for the portion and quality. Atmosphere: Very packed, which is usually a good sign, but still nice and organized. Plenty of seating and the restaurant was decorated really well. Family-friendly atmosphere too. Service: Customer service was great and everyone was friendly and helpful. Overall: Good food, fair prices, lots of options, and a nice environment. Definitely would come back!

So fresh and refreshing, but it was a small cup that was 95% ice. So it was basically a sip. The beans in the rice were very mushy and unappealing. We enjoyed the churros in carmelized pineapple, but would have preferred chocolate. The pineapple was nothing special. So all in all, we loved all the food we ate (except for the rice and beans) Saw some other tacos we'll try next,
