    Asada plate with grilled onions along with beans and rice. Fresh guacamole with jalapeños!
    Leonel M.

    This place has awesome food! And their margaritas are delicious! That staff is very friendly and make you feel welcomed. The place is very clean and well maintained. My only complaint would be that the restaurant feels more western than it does Mexican but it won't stop me from coming back.

    white sauce and what's left of our nachos
    Morgan L.

    Some girlfriends and I got together at Rancho Grande on a Wednesday evening. Around 9:00 pm, the place was mostly empty considering they close at 10. I ordered the classic Nachos, one of us ordered a side of beans to enjoy with the chips, and 3 others ordered Classic Margaritas with salt (I am a sugar rim lady). All the margs were finished by the end of our time together, which told me they were yummy! Our nachos were tasty but the chips were pretty soggy. We ended up supplementing with the table chips. The white sauce at this restaurant is DIVINE. If you are from the DMV, you know you need a good white sauce (not queso!!!) with your chips and salsa. This one is tangy, salty and sweet, creamy, and downright delicious. I'd come back here just for the chips and salsa! The salsa was smokey tasting, and just needed a hint of salt. I loved the decorations the restaurant had everywhere - the colorful crepe paper definitely brought in the right vibes. Everything seemed clean and taken care of. It was a good experience!

    Lunch special #6 fried chimichanga with beans

    I order a fried chimichanga special #6 off of the lunch menu to go!!! Its very good and they gave me chips, salsa and white sauce!

    Fried Beans Mexican Rice

    Food wise, they never disappoint. But their service simply sucks. They act like bringing extra white sauce Is a crime. I typically get Texas fajitas, but wanted to try something a little different. So I went with whatever I got. LOL It had more meat on it than the typical fajitas, was cheaper and had the same everything else. It was really good, seasoned perfectly & served hot. I also ended up getting a patron margarita & I'm not sure if it was heaven sent but it was $18. I thought it would have me growing wings by the time I laugh but I walked out like a normal person. Oh well better luck next time.

Waiter was quick to bring us chips and salsa and also take our drink orders. I tried their large Midnight Margarita (10/10) I loved the flavor and it was STRONG! For food, I was craving steak, and saw Steak El Amigo (10/10) on the menu. It was very flavorful, tender, seasoned, cooked exactly how I wanted it, and more than enough food for me. The steak was topped with cheese sauce, shrimp, fajita vegetables, peppers, and mushrooms. Also came with a side of rice and beans and tortillas. Def my new go to spot for sure. Already planning to go back next Tuesday, this time, to try some tacos and other drinks! My overall rate of experience : 10/10

We were sat immediately around 630 on a Friday evening. We received chips and dips before I could even sit down! Our server promptly greeted us and drinks were ready within minutes. So far, so good. For dinner, hubby had the Vegetarian E which came with a burrito, quesadilla and chalupa, daughter had the kids quesadilla with beans and I initially selected the shrimp bowl. Our food took about 15 minutes. Both quesadillas were barely warm and the cheese wasn't even melted. The refried beans were loaded with red pepper and too spicy for my child. My shrimp bowl was overwhelmed by cheese and aioli that I couldn't stomach it. Our server kindly let me order something else so I selected the shrimp taco salad. It arrived shortly thereafter but was also so greasy it made my stomach turn. 2 stars just for service. 0 for food. Overall, this meal was an unfortunate waste of $50.

    Union is a seriously beautiful spot for dinner or drinks! The huge bar is definitely a centerpiece,…read moreand there's plenty of comfortable restaurant seating, perfect for groups or a fun night out. We started the night with drinks: I went for a cold Modelo, while my friends both ordered margaritas, and wouldn't stop raving about how good they were! For appetizers, we shared the Union Trio! Fire roasted tomato salsa, creamy guacamole, and queso served with crisp tortilla chips. All three were fresh and delicious, a great way to kick off the meal. For my main, I mixed things up with a taco trio! Carne Asada (marinated steak, onion, queso fresco, avocado, cilantro), Chicken Tinga (marinated chicken, refried black beans, avocado, greens, queso fresco, cilantro) and Blackened Mahi (mezcal pickled onion, red cabbage, red pepper pico, chipotle sauce, cilantro). The blackened mahi was my hands down favorite. It was super flavorful with just the right amount of heat. My friends tried some awesome dishes too! One had the Coconut Curry Mahi (blackened mahi, jasmine rice, edamame succotash, with a rich coconut curry cream sauce) and the other had the Duck Confit Taco (with cherry salsa, pickled carrot salad, and cilantro-lime creme). Our waitress was phenomenal and definitely suggested great choices. If you're in the area and craving something a little more elevated than your average Mexican spot, Union is absolutely worth checking out. Great food, tasty drinks, and a stylish atmosphere!
