Ometeo - Vegetable fajita - Tex-Mex Near Me - Tysons, Virginia

See all

Ometeo is located in the newer Capital One area in Tysons. Parking is located in a paid lot about a block away. The ambiance and decor of the restaurant is very nice. I was not impressed with the food though. One of the meats we had was very bland even if you ate it with the sauce it came with. Also the churros were hard to bite. Drinks were decent though. Overall, I think they will do well given the area and vibes. read more

I came for a friends birthday dinner and had a good time. Though I don't have anything bad to say about Ometeo, I will not be back. The food was good. I had their Chips and Salsa + Guac, Texas Short-Rib Tacos, and got to try the Pork Enchiladas. The Chips and Salsa + Guac was solid, nothing new or different from other restaurants. The Short-Ribs in the tacos were tender and soft, but crispy on the outside. The Pork Enchiladas were tasty, too. Overall, everything was good, but it wasn't anything spectacular or original which is why I don't feel the price is justified. I wasn't surprised at the prices on the menu, but I was expecting more from the food. The portions are on the smaller side; if the portions were any smaller than what they are then I would've left hungry. The service was good -- our waiter was kind and patient serving us as we were a pretty big group. The space is nice, a little smaller than expected. They do have a second floor but I didn't go up so I don't know if there are tables there. I believe the bathrooms are on the second floor so if you have bad knees or struggle taking the stairs, keep that in mind. They also have a bar right by the entrance if you would prefer to sit there than at a table. Parking in this area is annoying. Like any other "shopping district" in Tyson's/Fairfax, you have to park in a lot or a garage. It's tricky navigating this specific area because of the corporate offices/buildings, so finding public parking was tedious. Again, nothing bad per se but would I recommend this place? No. read more

Ambiance: 5/5 The place is beautiful, great to also just grab drinks as there's a nice outdoor area. This is not a place to show up last minute on the weekend, so make sure you have reservations. Service: 5/5 We had a party of 6 and our server was attentive, he checked on us throughout our meal to see if we needed anything. Food: 4/5 The salsa that comes with the free chips is amazing! It's so good we had to ask for more We ordered the baked oysters- very good! We ordered shrimp fajitas (enough for one) and cerdo con todo fajitas (enough for two) and both were very flavorful. They come with rice and beans. I really enjoyed the melted/grilled cheese on the plate, but the lady clearing the table kept trying to take it from me lol. We got the chile relleno and the mole sauce on top was so yummy! It really made the dish stand out otherwise it's just a poblano pepper stuffed with grilled corn and potatoes. We got the matamoros tacos, very yummy. Overall food was good but not exceptional. Price: 4/5 The price was a bit high especially for some of the entrees since we had room to grab ice cream afterwards. read more

Glad we tried this! Service was a little slow but everyone was so kind that we encountered! The brochette appetizer is worth returning for alone. We enjoyed the fajitas but it was missing an element like pico de gallo or something to give them a kick. It's a beautiful space, we will return again for certain. The drinks were solid. My Paloma was a little heavy on the lime but I still enjoyed it. read more

It's a pretty nice place to be frank, very visually appealing, and weather permitting the outdoor seating is probably the best area of the restaurant. I frankly don't have anything bad to say but there's just something missing that would make me want to go back immediately. Service was great, food was good, it's family friendly, and that's about it. For the area, it's definitely a standout. I just wish I had tried the tres leches, maybe that would have put my review at 5/5. read more

What a great addition to the Tysons/Capital One Hall area. It's a vibrant if not loud environment. The menu is enticing and the quesadillas and enchiladas were very good and in sufficient quantity. The sides are very good. I love the martini which was a unique combination of margarita and martini. Service both visits was excellent though we asked someone clearing dishes for another drink and was told to tell our server. . Atmosphere is fun, parking nearby and and outdoor bar and seating for when weather is nice. read more

Ometeo - Nachos and salsa - Tex-Mex Near Me - Tysons, Virginia

Went here on cinco de mayo and the vibes were great- Live music and a great crowd! The service was relatively quick and pretty friendly. The food was pretty average, nothing exceptional! I will say that I've never seen a hot dog on the menu of a Mexican restaurant and especially not a bacon wrapped one! The star for me was honestly a tie between the drink or the queso! read more

Came for HH and found myself very underwhelmed with the menu options for HH & Dinner. None of the food was amazing but drinks were decent, though I wouldn't order the Ometeo margarita again as it's on tap and tasted too much like Margarita mix for me. The space is beautiful though, especially the upstairs lounge area. read more

Food here is super good but a little overpriced in my opinion. I work in Capital One center so come here often. Would recommend the fish tacos. Last time I came for lunch, they were missing a bunch of stuff so the full menu wasn't available and my vegetarian coworker was given a meal that wasn't really up to the standard of the food that is found in the menu. read more

This is a new restaurant that just opened this month (December 2024). The decor is very warm and inviting. Our waiter is friendly and helpful. The sea bass is nicely done. The cheesecake is different. Overall, a nice restaurant. read more

Great HH drinks! My friend and I decided to grab a drink after the 9-5 and we had a great experience! The bartender was super nice and we even got free spiked mango smoothies to try. They were SO yummy! We sat outside but they also have a nice inside area. They even have a private area upstairs to host events. Didn't get to try the food but the couple next to us ordered a fajitas and it looked amazing!! read more

Place has a nice ambiance. Great big bar with decent selection of premium drinks. Frozen margarita is also very good and just the right amount of alcohol. The manager Noir was so accommodating and helpful. She navigated through the reservation to be able to seat me earlier and she was very friendly. Noise level is minimal where you can actually hear each other talk. Food is ok sort of bland actually. I had the braised beef and it was missing flavor. The flan tasted like pumpkin pie and the tres leches was just not the same taste. The service is good in this place but the kitchen needs to taste their cooking. I probably will revisit just for the drinks and ambiance. read more

Love the bar area, margs and the food. Great western vibe and a step up from a normal Mexican restaurant

My girlfriend and I had an awesome meal at Ometeo. We started with chips and ceviche--both super fresh and flavorful. Then we then had steak fajitas, and they were fantastic--cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. Our server, George, was great--super friendly and on top of everything. The restaurant was running a little behind on reservations, but the host staff was really transparent about the wait, which we appreciated. Plus, they made sure we got a great table, so it all worked out! Overall, great food, great service, and a great vibe. We'll definitely be back! read more

We visited for dinner three days ago. Both the outside and inside bars were packed. Inside seating seemed about half full. We were seated quickly by a cordial hostess at a deuce in the back corner of the upstairs section, along the exterior windows. The location seemed great; nice lighting, limited traffic, and a good view of both the restaurant and passers by outside. Unfortunately, it turned out not to be an ideal seat. But, more on that later. We started with margaritas (of course!) to enjoy with our chips and salsa, while we looked over the menu. The drinks, chips, and salsas were all yummy. We weren't sure how large the entrees were, so we skipped the appetizers and went straight to entrees. We ordered braised pork enchiladas and fish tacos; we didn't order sides (more on that later, as well). When the entrees arrived, they were hot and looked wonderful. As we dug in, the taste was thoroughly enjoyable. The chile colorado sauce had a lovely depth with a hint of spice, and complemented the pork and potato filling well. The fish tacos were light, a hint of heat and smoke from the chipotle mayo, and a nice crunch from the slaw. The tortillas were quite thin though; they fell apart quickly as we handled the tacos. Overall though, the food was a big win. Now to the big miss...the service. We had a very pleasant interaction with someone who described herself as "the manager" when we first sat down. But, our waiter was terrible. We'd been seated about 10 minutes before our waiter stopped by. Not a big deal, because the aforementioned manager brought us water, chips, and salsas. So, we had nibbles and water to tied us over. But, we should have realized this was a red flag. The next red flag occurred when our waiter walked up. As he approached, he was looking at our table, but when he arrived he immediately looked above our table toward the patio. His eyes remained there throughout our conversation...as though something outside was far more interesting than we were. Nevertheless, we tried to be upbeat and pleasant as we gave him our drink order and thanked him. He walked away, still looking outside. When he returned, he set our drinks on the table, immediately returned his gaze to the patio, then asked for our food order. He offered no information about the menu, didn't ask if we had questions. So, we gave him our entree selections. As mentioned earlier, we didn't realize sides needed to be ordered separately. And, since he offered no information about the menu, we only ordered entrees. Our waiter didn't seem to notice (or maybe didn't care)--perhaps he was so distracted by the patio--he simple acknowledged our order, looked down long enough to grab our menus, and then departed. As we waited for our food, we noticed a table nearby with rice on a side dish rather than on the plate with entree, which made us start wondering if we'd mistakenly overlooked the need to order sides. We began looking for our waiter. But, for several minutes we couldn't spot him. So, we eventually asked a lady who delivered food to a nearby table. She told us to wait a minute then zipped away. We saw her go right to a waitress, talk at length with her, then head to the kitchen. We hoped she was alerting the waitress that we needed something. No idea though because the waitress headed off in the opposite direction of our table. Eventually our food arrived, we ate and made do with our entrees. Then we waited. We could see our waiter tending to other tables--he was talking to them, looking at them, providing what looked like reasonably attentive service. But, he chose not to swing by to check on us, offer more drinks, make sure our food was to our satisfaction, or see if we needed anything. Eventually, we decided to just flag him down and ask for the bill. As he walked up, he once again looked right over us out onto the patio. He picked up our plates, acknowledged we wanted the bill then headed off. He passed through the section twice looking around each time, then seemed to suddenly remember our bill. He disappeared for a brief time then headed directly to our table. We quickly settled our bill and left, happy to leave the experience behind us. The food was great. We really enjoyed the meal and will remember sides next time. But, we really hope for a better waitstaff experience next time. read more

I really like the ambiance and decor to place, especially the upstairs bar and lounge. Very comfortable seating and a great place to relax and drink. The food itself is decent. I ordered the steak fajita, and while it had great flavors, steak was a little tough and portions weren't as big as I thought it would be. So overall a great place to drink and I would like to come back to try other food items. read more

It was decent but a bit pricey for what you get and the food was very Smokey flavored, more than one would hope for. The service was good but slow. Overall it was mediocre, we had been hopeful for something more flavorful. read more

Our lunch at Ometeo was a mixed bag that started off strong and then not so much.  The space is very large and divided into several areas with colorful tiles and decorations.    When you are seated, a big bowl of warm chips with two kinds of salsa is brought to welcome you.  The salsas, one red, one green are both very tasty and the chips are crisp and not at all greasy.  YUM.  We ordered two drinks that we really liked.  The first was a frozen agua fresca.  It was tough being patient enough to let it melt enough to be able to get it to flow through the straw, but, once you did, it was fruity and delicious.  The mexcal mule was completely different but also really tasty.  Since we had those great chips and salsa, we decided to go for something different than our usual guac.  We spotted the brochette on the menu and decided to give it a try.  Shrimp wrapped in coffee glazed bacon.  Yum + yum + yum equaled our favorite dish of the night.  We opted to sample three different tacos which were supposed to come in an order of three tacos each.  However, when one dish arrived, there were only two.  Having looked back at the menu just now and verifying that fact, it seems that they either shorted us a taco or served the wrong dish.  You would think we would be able to tell by the contents of the taco but the disappointing thing is that it was kind of hard to taste the fillings (which seemed rather bland to us) because they were also all overpowered by the taste of the corn tortilla.  Not awful but not worth a trip for.  We tried two desserts, the tres leches and the chocoflan.  They were ok.  The service was very friendly and helpful except for trying to understand what went wrong with that one order.  Our area of the restaurant was pretty full but the decibel level stayed low enough to converse without problem (yah and phew).  Parking is close by in both open air lots and garages.  All in all, we would possibly come back for drinks, chips and the brochette but feel there are more flavorful tacos to be found in other places. read more

delicious dinner !!! and guava hibiscus juice was yummy ... thanks to our server Jose for your amazing serviceeee !! fully recommend

A new Tex-Mex restaurant in Tysons (across the Performing Arts Center). Great ambiance, but slow service. Would recommend making a reservation, we came on a Friday around 8 pm and they were full for the night. Luckily we were able to sit in their upstairs seating area, which is more lounge-like with sofas, leather seats, and low cushion seats. The drinks were good and so was the quesadilla we ordered. Downside we tried to order chips and they said there was a backorder and would take more than 20 minutes to make. Looking forward to going again to try more from the menu. read more

Ometeo - Tex-Mex Near Me - Tysons, Virginia

All the food was super good! Got the chips and salsa tres leches and chicken flautas! The tres leches was by far my favorite! I wish they had a happy hour menu! The only reason I give it a 4/5 was because it was a bit pricey and was not as high end as I was expecting for the price. The service was good, the server came around several times, however the explanations for each dish on the menu could have been shorter even though I knew he was trying to be helpful! He also gave us more chips for free! I loved the decor and the overall ambiance of the places I can't wait until the outdoor bar opens up! read more

Pleasant dinner at Ometeo tonight - they have some kinks to work out but there's definitely potential there. The decor and ambiance are welcoming and relaxing - the dining area is intimate, but loud, and the lounge area upstairs is inviting and cozy. Service was impressive - friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. The prices are high. Very high for Tex mex. I don't like that they charge $9 for a basket of chips with 3 small saucers of salsa (and the salsas were pretty bland). The dishes were hit or miss. If you have kids who don't handle spicy food well, there aren't a lot of options - most dishes have some heat to them. The beef fajitas were the best I've ever had. Cooked perfectly, seasoned perfectly, served with grilled peppers, melted cheese, and hand made tortillas. So tender and flavorful - will come back for this dish. Unfortunately the refried beans served on the side were old and clearly had gotten cold and then sat under a heat lamp for a while... the beans had a thick film on top and were gummy and dry. The quesadillas with chicken tinga were amazing as well - huge portion, cheesy, salty, accompanied by sliced jicama and sour cream. Both the ceviche Classico and hamachi with prickly pear were underwhelming. The fish itself was ok, but the sauces and their accompanying ingredients didn't compliment each other well - they were definitely let downs. As was the stuffie tamal. The masa was nice, but completely overpowered by the chorizo - the smokiness and earthiness made the dish one dimensional unfortunately. My son had the shrimp adobo tacos - which were just ok - he gave them a 6 out of 10. The molten chocolate tamal was not good. The chocolate was bitter, the masa was super grainy, the spiced pecans were disconnected from the test of the dessert. We had 3 agua frescas which were good, but steep at $9 for a very small glass. After tip the bill was $253 which was very expensive. We were so impressed by the fajitas and the ambiance that my wife and I will likely be back, but it won't be a restaurant in any kind of normal rotation. read more

Highly recommend the chicken tinga tacos! They were so good that I forgot to take a picture for the review! Lol The Margarita is decent. The galentine's happy hour was fun. Great service. Staff are very friendly. read more

Ometeo - Ometeo Margarita - Tex-Mex Near Me - Tysons, Virginia

Oh wow Mateo was that a good meal. My wife, Florencia, and I went here before a show at Capital One Hall. We loved the decor and the overall vibes. We started with delicious cocktails and their stupendous chips and salsas. Yes, you read that right. 2 salsas one a traditional red and one a green with avocado and heat. Wow so good. Next, we had the bacon wrapped shrimp appetizer which was amazing. In order to save room for the epic desserts we saw going by, we split the short rib tacos! Wow! Wow! Wow! So good. During the meal, our cool table water bottle was refilled. Nice touch Mateo. For dessert, we had s'mores flameada. Do not miss this fire dessert. It was truly memorable... Don't say "no way oh" to OMETEO. read more

The service was incredible! Our server I wish I had gotten her name, but she went through the whole menu with us. As it was our first time dining here. Incredibly kind person. Now the interior was very Texmex with a Christmas vibe, which I throughly enjoyed. Their two special drinks weren't too bad either. I would probably try their other cocktails if I were to come back here. This is a pretty expensive place but makes sense since it's in Tyson's area. The staff are very attentive as well, I called ahead of time as it gets quite busy here, so I highly recommend doing so too. When I called the staff asked if I had any special requests or allergies, I'd appreciated that greatly. We got the fajita option feeds about two people in my opinion. Their flour tortillas could be better, but I particularly enjoy corn tortillas more. The rice was quite delicious and their frijoles too. It is black bean I believe so if that's not your preferred version I wouldn't recommend getting it. The chocolate flan was delicious, and the fried marshmallow ice cream was quite tasty! The only food my party disliked was the tortilla chips they were quite stale. The salsas were good but the green one isn't spicy one bit, that's supposedly their spiciest one, but I still liked it. read more

Ometeo - Tex-Mex Near Me - Tysons, Virginia

Overpriced and somewhat unnecessary. Came in for Mother's Day and was disappointed with the service, attentiveness and options on the menu. This is partly on my party and myself included in that we felt this menu was trying to do too much and make unnecessary twists to Mexican cuisine. If you want Mexican food, I wouldn't recommend. If you're looking somewhat Mexican and quirky twists, this is the spot for you. read more

What a fun new spot in Tysons, tucked away in Capital One Center, not visible from 123. Really enjoyed the TexMex vibe that was slightly elevated but still fun and casual. After a busy Friday I tried the Maverick cocktail, a fruity vibe with a side shooter of sparkling wine to add in. Hamachi crudo could have used more acidity for me, and really enjoyed the steak tacos especially with the frizzled layer of cheese inside. Interested to try more items soon. read more

3.5 stars. Good vibe, it's loud and hard to talk if that's what you want. Busy. Private parties going on upstairs. Skinny margarita had no flavor. So we each just had one. I ordered the tacos Costra (steak). It's fried cheese with a very very very very thin slice of meat (maybe) in between hard fried cheese and a tortilla. Disappointed with my choice. My friend had shrimp fajitas and they were ok. Fish taco was better. Just a miss on the food I think and expensive. The chips are so greasy. Why?? Guacamole was decent. I liked the place and vibe but food needs to improve. read more

I was going to say I thought this place was a bit pricey, but then I tried it. From the yummy yummy free chips and salsa to the mains, it was super tasty. To start, the chips and salsa (mild and mild spicy) are some of the best starter chips. They are thick and crunchy and would make great nacho chips, holding yummy toppings. Salsas were also flavorful and fresh. For my main, I got the Texas short rib tacos and man oh man. First they load up the three street tacos with plenty of meat then guac and some tasty sauce. The meat is SO tender and has the most amazing smokey flavor. Im also not normally a corn tortilla person, but the flavors here just work. My coworker got the fajitas and also had no complaints. Said it was fantastic. She also got the Ometeo Margarita and said it was good and strong! I'd be back for sure. Maybe order the fajitas to split and make bootleg nachos with the yummy yummy chips. Holla to the staff also, who were all very attentive and nice. Great experience overall. read more

I've been into this restaurant. Several times I can say the service here is always exceptional. From the moment, you went to the door to the time you leave the staff always make sure that our needs are met and the food is always excellent.
