    Tacos - Chicken / Steak and Chorizo / Al Pastor
    Jeremy T.

    Tried Mama Chave and ordered a mix of tacos--Chicken, Steak & Chorizo, and Al Pastor. They were good and definitely worth the money. The handmade corn tortillas were a great touch and really added to the overall flavor. I wouldn't say they're the best tacos I've ever had--I've had some incredible ones in California and Texas--but for this area, they're definitely a standout. The Al Pastor had a nice bit of sweetness, and the Chorizo had great flavor. If you're local and looking for solid tacos at a good price, Mama Chave is absolutely worth checking out.

    Spicy salsa, you have to ask for it! Yummmy

    This is the real deal!!!! Authentic, simple and fresh ingredients all made from scratch. Seriously just all delicious!!! We ordered the mixed fajitas, my husband and I, split the plate and it was more than enough food for both of us, it came with freshly made delicious corn tortillas! We also ordered a chicken tamale and a pork and bean popusa, both very delicious. We stopped here to eat right before we took our scenic drive up the Skyline Drive. Don't pass this place, stop and eat here, you will be glad you did!

    I haven't been more ecstatic about a new restaurant in Front Royal in a very long time. This has become a weekly visit for us. The food is incredible and the portions are huge for the price point. Staff is super friendly and inviting. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. If you live here or even if passing through this is becoming a must stop and eat place.

    Wonderful new spot in Front Royal. I've only had their jalapeno and cheese, and pork and cheese pupusas, and steak torta so far. Two visits in under a week. The price to proportion ratio is generous and the quality is excellent.

    Horchata, chips and salsa.

    The chicken is excellent! Get the green sauce for dipping! Tried the pasta with beef, also very good!

    This is the 3rd and last of the 3 sit down Mexican restaurants in Front Royal that we have tried…read more We started with chips and salsa and a surprisingly tasty coleslaw. They had a $5.50 lime margarita special....did not need the 2nd one but yummy. I ordered the Rancho Nuevo Fajitas - there was plenty for two people to fully enjoy and still bring some home. Wonderful flavors, the char added an extra yumm factor She had the Asada plate and enjoyed every bite. A nice thin steak cooked perfectly with the perfect amount of sides to stuff the tortillas. To top it off we had a tasty flan. I would have preferred a warm sauce over the top but it was still enjoyable. Out of the 3 Mexican restaurants this has become our new #1, the salsa bar has won us over.

    Stopped here on the way back from Harrisonburg VA. Our daughter recommended this place. My husband…read morehad a burrito and I had a combo meal. Perfect for the undecided. Food was great. Prices are reasonable. Restaurant is spacious and clean. Lots of decorations to provide that Mexican restaurant feel. Staff were friendly and efficient. This is a great stop to satisfy your hunger and get some rest before continuing your trip home. I strongly recommend you stop here and give this place a try. Must mention plenty of free parking and my husband loved the homemade coleslaw dip that came with the chips. Finally, they are open until 10:00pm. Perfect for the late night trip.

Hot chips and a spicy salsa was…read moreserved and drinks were ordered and brought rather quickly along with our ordered cheese dip. We placed our lunch order and enjoyed our conversation until the meal arrived with drink refills and chips coming, the food was delicious! They did a great job getting the particulars of the orders correct (everyone had something special). We enjoyed the meal and stayed at our table for a while talking and never felt rushed. The service and the meal was amazing! Will definitely want to be back!

    I was disappointed in my recent visit to Los Potrillos. This was one of my favorite spots to stop…read moreon road trips... but it's gone downhill and fast. For starters, the bathroom had 1.5/2 broken toilets and the floor was flooded with mystery liquid... I could barely make it to the sink without almost slipping. It also smelt horrible and the bathroom was legitimately falling apart. Now onto the service... it took them 30 minutes to take our order (and it wasn't that crowded). The server was not friendly either. However, since they were out of guac she did give us free queso which was very nice. The chips and salsa were excellent, as was the Mexican rice. My $15 grilled chicken quesadilla on the other hand... was sub par and small (see photos). The grilled chicken itself was somewhat stiff. Some pieces had only chicken... others only cheese. This was discomforting. Where is the fusion of flavors? Anyways, this is not the restaurant that I remember.
