You can pseudo tandem park in the lot, as the other sections seem to be filled with vehicles from the auto shop. The menu offers tacos, pupusas, quesadillas, tortas, tamales, burritos, soups, and grilled platters. We ordered: +carne asada tacos - the meats were a little dried out and didn't have much marinade or seasoning on them; adding hot sauce didn't really help, either +elote tamale - this was actually cold and super stiff; not sure if it's been pre-made and sitting out for a while +chicken tamale - this was actually filled with seasoned and tasty chicken, and good with the hot sauce; but, the masa was also more on the stiff side and seemed to have just been reheated Staff here are friendly and welcoming. Once you order, you can dine-in at one of the tables in the back, and then pay up at the front once you're finished. I'm glad I was able to give this place a try, but wouldn't return. +flavorless carne asada tacos +reheated, cold tamales +friendly service +pseudo tandem parking

We tried a good chunk of the menu and not a single one disappointed. The salsa was a fantastic blend of fire roasted tomatoes with large chunks of onions with it. Hatch green chili queso was blended great and topped with queso fresco which gave it an additional depth of salt. For the tacos, each tortilla was homemade and perfectly grilled for a great vehicle to the fillings. Smoked chicken was flavorful and moist which pared well with their aioli. Their catch of the day today was swordfish which was marinated well and topped off with a fresh jicama slaw. The birria, while not your typical wet taco, had flavors that were right in your face and again were topped with the salty queso fresco which helped balance it out. Overall, we'll have to make our way back out to Middleburg just to experience more of this fantastic menu and wonderful atmosphere.

The favorite was the fresh catch of the day, the fish was cooked to perfection and paired with the slaw and just the right bit of citrus.

That combo is rare and I refuse to take it for granted. The food is just incredible across the board. And I mean ALL of it. I have yet to order something that didn't completely deliver. The flavors are bold, authentic, and made with what clearly feels like actual care and love going into every dish. It's the kind of food that makes you stop mid-bite just to appreciate what's happening. And the prices? Beyond reasonable. You are getting so much food and flavor for what you pay -- it never feels like a splurge even when you go all out on the order. I find myself coming back any chance I get and honestly the hardest part of the visit is just deciding what to get because everything is that good. It's become one of those non-negotiable spots for me -- the kind of place I'll drive for and never think twice about. If you're in the Manassas area and you haven't been to La Jarochita yet, fix that immediately. You will not regret it, you will not leave hungry, and your wallet will thank you.

We drove out of our way to try this place and honestly it was a bit confusing to figure out where to order. There are two lines and it's not very clear which one we are supposed to get in for what. Especially because some of the items are duplicate on both menus. I noticed there was barely anyone in the "restaurant" line. Anyway, we sort of got a little bit of everything and wasn't completely brown away. I liked that they let you add your own toppings, and all of the sauces that have available were great. But the taco meats all sort of lacked a bit of flavor. Carnitas are my favorite but these were a bit inconsistent. Some pieces were very nice and juicy where others were hard to chew. I will say the place is very clean and spacious. They're pretty quick with your order as well. The food was lacking flavor for me personally. Overall, I don't think I would go back.

I rate restaurants within their category and concept. I am not comparing a neighborhood Mexican…read morerestaurant to a Michelin star fine dining experience. If a place delivers quality food, represents its cuisine well, and exceeds expectations for its setting, that earns a high rating from me. We recently visited Casa De Avila in Leesburg, and I have to start with the horchata because it was truly the star of the meal. I am of Mexican heritage, my mom is Mexican, and I grew up drinking homemade horchata. This one tasted just like it should. It was creamy, clearly made with milk and condensed milk, with that soft sweetness and a gentle hint of cinnamon. It honestly tasted homemade, and that alone made me smile. Now, it is hard for me personally to give most Mexican restaurants 5 stars, and that has more to do with my background than the restaurant itself. I was born and raised in Los Angeles and grew up eating incredible home cooking from my mom, who is an amazing cook. That naturally shapes my expectations. In the DMV area, it has been tough to find truly authentic Mexican flavors. With the exception of La Jarochita, and Mancha Cocina Mexicana, which is more elevated but very well done, good Mexican food can be hard to come by here. All that said, Casa De Avila serves very good food and is probably the best I have found in this category locally. The sopes were made fresh, which makes a huge difference in both flavor and texture. The tacos were solid overall. The asada was very good, well seasoned and flavorful. The al pastor was good, but it did not quite have that deep, traditional flavor you get from proper trompo style preparation. The esquites were also tasty, and the kids loved that they added hot Cheetos. That is a trend we saw in Los Angeles years ago, so it felt fun and nostalgic to see it here. If I could offer one suggestion, it would be about the salsa. The salsa served tasted more like a bottled style Mexican salsa. I would love to see a true house made salsa roja or salsa verde, the kind where you char the tomatoes, tomatillos, chiles, and onions before blending. That deep roasted flavor is such a big part of authentic Mexican cooking and would elevate the whole experience even more. The service was amazing from start to finish. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive, and the staff really helped make the experience even better. Overall, Casa De Avila is doing a lot right. The food is flavorful, the horchata is exceptional, and it stands out in an area where good Mexican food is not easy to find. While my personal background makes me a tough critic, this is still a place I would happily return to. A solid 4 stars.
