Grilled chicken burrito sante fe platter
Mike K.

Service here was really great as they consistently checked in on drink refills and water and chips. My meal also was really good I hadn't ever eaten here before so I didn't know what to expect but it had a lot of flavor in it. The environment of the restaurant was cool as well, they all different sorts of Hispanic items around the restaurant and had a large tv screen showing the World Cup broadcast.

Shrimp quesadillas.
Michelle J.

Cute place. The outter seating is the most ideal. If you like Mexican food, this place is for you. The drinks are good. The food is good. It's conveniently located to the metro and shopping. The staff is great. I had shrimp quesadillas. They were good.

Steak and shrimp dinner.
lisa w.

The 16oz ribeye steak was juicy and SO well seasoned!! The grilled shrimp were yummy, nothing special about the guac but the tortillas were really, really good. I'm talking the perfect fluff level and tastiness good. I didn't try the rice or beans... was too full from everything else. Also got a special grand margarita, it was delicious! Excellent, attentive service. Large fans on the outside patio helped blow away the summer humidity. An 18% tip is included in the check.

Cheers to margaritas

We stopped by Mi Rancho because our other dinner plans fell through. First of all, I was quite pleased and surprised by the MASSIVE outdoor space. I knew Mi Rancho had an outdoor area, but I didn't know it was so large. Thus, this is restaurant is good for larger parties. While the outdoor area is huge, the noise can be a bit loud. Service was so-so. On one hand, our server were very nice and cheerful. However, I thought the service to be a bit slow. In Mi Rancho's defense, I think the restaurant was short-staffed during our visit because I did not see too many servers for the large space. In cases like these, I would highly recommend ordering your drinks and food at the same time instead of ordering drinks, then ordering food once the drinks arrive. The food (like the service) was so-so. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't amazing. I had the beef enchiladas, and I thought they were pretty bland. Although my dish was kind of bland, the restaurant does provide a generous amount of food so you will not leave hungry. Overall, I thought Mi Rancho was a decent spot that's great for large groups in a low-key, chill environment.

I always love going here. The food is top tier, the service is lovely and the people are nice. I've been coming here for over 25 years and the people are kind. It's a hidden gem and is always peaceful.

Breakfast Burrito
Bryan S.

The ambiance is more of a small restaurant. Now I went in for breakfast so it might be better for dinner but it didn't feel uniquely special. The service was fast, never had an issue finding a waiter or having my water glass empty. The food was decent. For the price though I would expect better quality of food. There are better Mexican places in the area that offer better quality food for better prices.

Steak quesadilla
Jacob F.

Fast service, was sat immediately. My server greeted me immediately. Not too loud, a lot of seating as well. Steak quesadillas had a good cheese pull, great amount of steak, the tortilla was crispy (I hate soggy quesadillas, and there was a fair amount of guac and jalapeños on the side. The strawberry lemonade tasted fresh, tasty but not too sweet, and the mango margarita was great. Chips could use some salt, but the salsa was good. Hats Off

a crowded restaurant with tables and chairs
Maria L.

A fun restaurant to go to with a parking garage right down the block! Yummy fajitas!! Enjoyed the jalapeño poppers too! The chips are salsa were a hit too, with some spice! Margarita was tasty too! Not too sweet. Sorry I guess I drank it too quickly to take a pic Would definitely come back. :)

Beef Enchiladas
Gina F.

Great spot for a Saturday night. We were warmly greeted by a staff and set almost immediately. There were a lot of families and friends celebrating birthdays. Nice of the staff to celebrate them with a sombrero and a song. The food came out hot and delicious. The $15 beef enchilada plate was delicious. The drinks were good. I do plan on coming back.

Fajitas Al Carbon (Chicken or Beef)
Mimi W.

This location has been here for decades and is a neighborhood favorite! Very cozy place with inside and covered outside patio seating. They have more seating downstairs, but the ambiance is not as nice. Paid parking in the streets or the public garage at the end of the street. My friends like to meet up here for birthdays especially and tell bring out a sombrero and vanilla ice cream with candles and sing to you. Service is excellent! Tex-Mex food with large portions. I usually get fajitas and they come sizzling on a hot plate with fresh flour tortillas that are made by the machine near the entrance. The food is good, nothing special, but we usually come for the free chips and salsa! The tortilla chips are very thinly made and come out warm. Food is probably a 3, ambiance a 2.5, but service a 5!

Chicken quesadilla, Don't judge me but I definitely used refried beans as my additional sauce. Solid choice
Abdul B.

Great service, great food, great hospitality, went there as a prequel birthday dinner before we want to beat the bomb in DC. Didn't get the more delectable food in fear of it coming out during beat the bomb. But the ambiance was very nice, You can tell by the culture around that the food was going to taste excellent.

While folks at my table went with Tex-Mex options, I decided to go with a Salvadorian option. In particular, I went with the Sopa de Marisocos, which was served with fish, a whole crab, mussels, shrimps, clams, and eggs. I thought the 20 dollar price tag as pretty fair considering how much seafood was in the bowl of soup. Although I thought the soup should have come with rice, I did not realize that the soup was served with tortillas. I guess the tortillas were the rice substitute. Overall, I thought the soup was very delicious and seasoned very well. I'm glad that I followed the waitress' advice and went with the addition of cream to the soup because it elevated the soup's flavor. Besides the soup, I had my fair share of margaritas. I thought the margaritas were mixed well because they were not too sweet or acidic for me. Also, the restaurant has happy hour most days until 6 pm (or was it 7 pm?). I have to say that I must visit again, because there are a lot of things on the menu that I would like to try during my next visitS. Overall, I thought the service was impeccable. Our bartender, who later became our waitress, was very helpful in making recommendations and suggestions regarding the menu. Also, she was very patient because it took us a while to finally order food - although we did order plenty of margaritas while deciding on what to eat. The restaurant is a decent size with both indoor and outdoor seating. From the way the tables are arranged, El Gavilan looks like it is very accommodating for medium sized groups. The restaurant does have parking; however, the parking lot is a bit tight.

So glad we got to experience it. The moment we sat down, the server provided complimentary chips with salsa. Delicious. Some of the many items we ordered were: Guacamole - great. tacos : shrimp, carne asada and lengua. Highly recommend the lengua tacos. Tacos themselves looked and tasted handmade. Chimichanga - large portion and finished with no complaints. Queso ( cheese) Quesadilla : right on point. Kids chicken tenders : embarrassed that we order this but something for the kiddos who haven't or are still developing their palates. Wouldn't recommend though. A bit dry. Wonderful selection of drinks : fountain drinks, frozen lemonade ( delicious) and horchata ( great). They do have a nice bar with a wide selection. Ambiance was laid back and quite quiet with the busy road nearby. 4.35 stars.

Very casual and spacious restaurant but limited parking.

I'd never have guessed 'spicy' (at a Mexican restaurant) is a $2 up-charge!! Only found out when I got the bill. And yes, I did mention it but nada. A heads up that asking for your Bloody Mary'spicy' will cost you $2 extra would've been nice. I also didn't appreciate the $14 guac that came w less than enough chips to finish the dip, but ordering "extra" chips are an extra cost. (free for the table with salsa at other Mexican restaurants). Anyways, I caveat this by saying photos online tell a different story, but it wasn't how ours came. My wife ordered 2 tacos for $14, no sides or anything else included, meh. If you end up going, their drinks are probably the best part of the place, but don't deviate without confirming you're not adding a hidden cost. Also, ration your chip/dip ratio, unless you're ok with spending more than $14 on a one avocado guacamole. Other than that the food was ok, our waitress was good (except for not telling me about a charge), but the nickel/dime policies aren't the best. It just left a bad taste.
