    Lunch Steak Fajita
    Jai R.

    I ordered the lunch steak fajita; it was a perfect size and was flavored well. They have some of the best churros I have ever had; they are filled with dulce de leche. My server, Marisol, was very kind and attentive. The restaurant was very clean and was decorated nicely. The drink menu had a vast of options and all looked delicious. I definitely recommend trying out this place!

    Overall good customer service, nice looking place that has live music on certain days. Cool art vibe in the building. The customer service is great and the food is delicious. We made a smart choice stopping here's the prices are decent but you will find better prices at other Mexican places. Would I go back, yes if I'm in the area. Viva Freida...you'll get that when you visit

    I got the birria taco ($17) and the food came in about 15 minutes. I thought the taco was just alright. Consume was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. The meat and taco were just ok. Service and staff was also just average. Overall this was just an ok Mexican restaurant, probably would try a different spot. Food(50%): 6.0 Staff/service(25%): 7.0 Value(25%): 6.0 Overall: 6.3/10

    The food was delicious, our server was good. It did take a little bit of time for the food to come out as there was a huge table that ordered right before us. The drinks are also good. Tried the prickly pear margarita.

    Soft flour street taco with steak - Delicious!!
    Linda B.

    My friend and I ordered through Uber Eats and the tacos were amazing!! I ordered the crunchy tacos and he ordered the soft tacos. I ordered three crunchy tacos, one with steak, one with chicken, and one with Carnitas. And they were all absolutely spectacular!! My friend ended up ordering the three soft flour tortillas both with the steak and he devoured his!! He said they were phenomenal!! The service was fast through Uber Eats and the driver was very careful with the packaging. We will absolutely be ordering from here again! Definitely wouldn't mind dining in one of these days either.

    Burrito Mexicano
    Chris C.

    So glad to see a new restaurant open in this area. This place was great, we were greeted immediately and seated promptly. We needed a highchair and before we knew it they had it at our table. The chips and salsa is better than others. The drinks were good, both margarita and beer were good. The only thing about the margarita is they didn't ask which size and we received the larger one. Food was great! Pollo a la Crema was priced well and very creamy. Would get again Burrito Mexicano was significantly larger than expected and again great for the price, flavor was present and queso was a plus. Would highly recommend checking this place out. We will be back!!

    Combo platter

    Welcoming staff. Julian the waiter was fantastic. He noticed my Kufiyah and notified me that the refried beans had pork in them. The kitchen made a mistake on one of the choices I selected for the 3 combo dinner platter and before I could say anything, Julian already had the correct selection brought to my table. I rated food a 4 because I rarely give food a 5 but it was good. I will come back.

    Pick 2 lunch special. 1 chicken tamal & 1 crunchy beef taco
    Shelby L.

    My husband loved his Burrito California but he also likes cilantro. It's a good thing because they are heavy handed with it. Holy Cilantro bomb in their Pico de gallo!!! I HATE cilantro. I'm one of the weird ones that thinks it tastes like soap. My "crunchy" taco was not crunchy. It was stale. The chicken tamal had a huge amount of masa. And the chicken had a cinnamon flavor to it. My pick 2 lunch special was disappointing

    Chicken Enchiladas

    This location has been open about 3 months now. Had a coupon for half off an entree, so we checked it out. Service was excellent as was the food. Chips and salsa were delivered and drinks ordered. Chips were crisp and salsa good and spicy. Entrees were well prepared. We will be back.

    Avocado and shrimp salad - they have dressing you just need to request it from the server

Dark woods, colored lights stickers, TV playing, music going and the vats for brewing. Walked up and took a seat at the empty bar, arriving minutes after they opened on a Monday. Looked at the tap menu, as well as can for sale. My sister ordered a lemon lime cider and I decided on a Polvo Pils. After that trip to Prague, I will always search out a good pilsner. Ocelot had a wonderful pilsner, served properly. I followed this up with Little Black Book. Can you ever go wrong with a nitro tap beer? The answer is no. So, after two rounds, I was impressed with the beer, definitely better than what I had tasted the previous days. The beertender was attentive, the decor was somewhat eclectic, lots of colored lights strung from the ceiling. Barrels against the wall, as the main beer hall opened up to the production side of the establishment. The pinball room was awesome, wall to wall pinball machines, light flashing, looked like it would really be a happening place at quitting time. All in all it was the best beer experience I had while visiting. Would recommend a stop if you don't want to battle traffic out of IAD at the wrong time of day.

Love the concept of open windows however in front of it is a parking lot. Food included steak and crabcake, oysters, and fish and chips which they are known for. 5/5 on the fish and chips, and the oysters were out of this world - tasted fresh, lightly fried to perfection. The steak and crab cake was more 4/5 - not a complainer, but when the steak came out well done rather than medium well, I did say something. So I could eat with the party, just sent the steak back, and to my surprise they did not come back with just a steak but a whole replacement meal which I had the next day. Between that and attentiveness to drink refills and knowledgable recommendations, the service was 5/5. The overall rating reflects the excellent service and very good food, while also taking the price point into consideration. With prices continuing to rise, patrons expect exceptional flavor across the board for those extra dollars. There were a few areas where I felt the food could have delivered just a little more, so I'm not quite at 5 stars yet.
