We were visiting for the weekend and tried Virginia's on a Friday evening. Not crowded and so confused why not! Y'all this is restaurant is so good. The guacamole was made fresh just for our order and so delicious. Everyone should try the pupusas! The queso y frijol was my favorite. Their pickled veggies to top the plates was so tasty! Great service, too! read more

The food is ok and you can find this type of food all across Winchester. The restaurant it's self is small tables are back to back and are small. If you plan to eat lunch with your young curious children here, I would think again. They play reggaeton on the tv and the half naked women will keep them distracted. I can understand playing music but this was crazy. The server was good she was nice and polite but I don't think this lunch was worth the price. There are gnats flying around and you have to swat them before they land on your food. read more

I am from a town 40 miles from the Mexican border. I was married to a woman who was born in Mexico. I have been making Mexican food since I was 8 years old. I KNOW MEXICAN FOOD! This is the absolute worst Mexican restaurant I have ever eaten in!!!!!!!!!!!!! In fact, most of what we were served was not actually Mexican food at all! read more

Yummy food with affordable prices. Their papusas are great and worthy of a try. The service is also super quick in a very relaxed environment. read more

Breakfast (black beans, cheese, fried plantains, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, onions and peppers, avocado, and fried tortilla) - simply divine. When we walked in we were greeted by a lovely hostess. The whole place was run by women this day - really fun to watch. This place feels, smells, and most importantly tastes super authentic! read more

Always delicious even when delivered! The food is good & taste authentic, the sopa de res does not fall short of quality and quantity. It really is amazing! I love the tortillas and extras that come w it. The chicharron y yuca is also read more

I expected more with the five star review... The papusas were good. I'd come back and get those to go. Not super stoked about service or this fried tamale or the poor ventilation in the kitchen. All good though. Def worth a try. read more

Went for lunch, tacos were excellent same for the pupas and the server was friendly and helpful

Tucked into the middle of nowhere, Virginia's could be overlooked. The decorum and atmosphere weren't incredibly appealing, but usually that's where I find some of the best Mexican food. The food was solid, well prepared, and full of traditional Salvadoran/Mexican flavor. I had the huaraches & pupusas & sopes, which were very tasty and authentic. The portions weren't overwhelming and the prices were reasonable than many other restaurants. Being Mexican and coming all the way from California to visit the meal was satisfying and it blew me away. Give this place a chance and you'll be content. read more

An unexpected surprise. Great food. Great service. Recommend if you're up for some great food.

The food is amazingly good, the closest to traditional Salvadoran food in El Salvador. I ordered pupusas and it came with el curtido and the sauce. Service is great and the ambiance is very traditional. This restaurant is a hidden gem. read more

Don't get fooled by the curb-appeal! They serve great food inside, for amazing prices. This is a hidden gem!! I stoped by with my family of 6 for lunch, after visiting the Shenandoah Valley Discovery Museum. The food was amazing and the service was great! Make sure to have cash for tips, because they can't put tip on the credit card. We didn't have cash, but next time we stop by in Winchester we will definitely make a stop here for lunch or dinner. Will make sure to bring the cash the next visit. read more

What this little El Salvadoran eatery lacks in decor & cleanliness, it makes up for in taste! We got the (only) breakfast item: eggs, refried beans, avocado, plantains, queso, sour cream & homemade corn tortillas. Everything was SO GOOD! My gf got her scrambled eggs with onions, peppers & tomatoes, and I got plain scrambled. Both delicious. Mine were just-right buttery. The refried beans were perfectly salted, with enough body to scoop onto the tortilla with queso. Yum! The plantains were RIPE, and cooked to perfection -- some crunchy edges -- easily the best I've ever had. The chef/server (guessing she was the owner) was friendly & gracious. So worth the visit. read more

Wow, really loved the food here. We wanted a light lunch and enjoyed tacos and papusa which was the best I've had in a very long time. We lived in California so it's always nice to find someplace where the flavors are right. Great service. Wonderful find! read more

2nd visit. This time came by after lunch and no one spoke English which made it a little bit of a challenge. Even though I ordered in Spanish the order was not right and it was not worth trying to figure it out so couple of my kids went a little hungry since they didn't get what they had ordered and they are not the fastest since everything is made from scratch and we did not have time to wait for round two. The Sopes are amazing: large, super crunchy, and filled with beans and great flavored carne asada/steak. Curiously the lady swore they did not serve rolled tacos/taquitos/tacos dorado. This is odd because last time we were here that's one of the things we ordered. There were some rather creepers there were staring at my wife which made her uncomfortable and me ready to fling hot beans if things were about to go down. All said though, we live on the wild side and I will be back (my wife says NEVER!) because the food is quite dLish read more

Pupusas are very tasty. Delivery service was good. First time went to restaurant and the place is clean. Parking is challenging for handicapped. Prices are fair and restaurant service is friendly read more

In Winchester for the day looking for a place for brunch. Saw that this point got high marks so we stopped in to grab a bite. The menu isn't enormous, but offers a variety of options. Both my wife and I ended up getting the breakfast dish with eggs, plantains, beans, avocado, tortillas, and cheese. It was amazing. Took us back to our honeymoon in Costa Rica. read more

Fantastic! We had a delicious meal here. We travel a lot always in search of quality regional foods. This may be the best El Salvadoran we've had north of the boarder. The service was prompt and friendly and the beer was ice cold. read more

You'd seriously drive right past this place if you didn't know to go in. When we arrived there were no cars in the lot which made me a little nervous, but man oh man, am I glad we persevered. This is authentic food if I've ever had it. Might be the best Mexican food I've had in Virginia ever. I highly recommend stopping and getting the pupusas and the special breakfast. Sooo delicious! read more

This place is a total hole in the wall that will satisfy your authentic salvadoreño cravings! Pupusas made to order, steak meat well cooked, rice mixed with beans (matrimonio) super delish. I also saw some Mexican dishes on their menu like sopes and huaraches. My husband and I shared a huarache and it was different than what I am used to. The masa (flour) part was deep fried and more like a tostada. But with all the toppings it was very delicious. I will definitely be coming back to try their breakfast dishes! A local gem once must try! Two thumbs way up read more

Winchester's little secret!!! If you want FRESH authentic Latino food, come to Virginias! Sign no. 1 that it is authentic is that most of the clientele is Latino. Sign no. 2, you can look back in the kitchen and watch them make El Salvadorian tortillas, Papusas and bomb sopes by hand. I have been back many times, and tried almost everything on the menu, from the traditional breakfast to the beef and seafood soups and everything in between. I recommend any of the Papusas, the Carne Asada Sopes, and the Plato Especial - which comes with steak, chicken, shrimp, chorizo, and a Papusa (at only $15!). You will leave this place fat and happy, and being all your friends back - prices are very cheap and everything I've had there has been super fresh! read more

My husband and I stumbled across this place and WOW, talk about a find!!! The food and service was amazing. They have a great menu with lots to choose from. We will probably be coming here on Sundays for their breakfast from now on, followed up by date nights. It doesn't get much more Authentic when it comes to Salvadoran food! read more

Virginia's Restaurant - Just arrived. To be continued... - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Winchester, Virginia

I gave this three stars for the chicken soup that is delicious!! However, the place is not very clean and the service was so so. The food was basically okay but I doubt I will ever go back...unless I am taking an El Salvadoran out to dinner for the soup. read more

We stopped by Virginia's for a Sunday lunch. The place was pretty quiet when we arrived, so we were one of only two occupied tables. (The other was a Latino family with three very polite, very hungry boys who seemed to be enjoying their food.) We were immediately greeted by a friendly, energetic young woman who took our drink orders and advised us regarding our orders. She and two other ladies quickly set to preparing our food in the kitchen, visible from the dining room via a pass-through. Rather than beer (since we're traveling), we elected for the horchata, which had a delicious toasted rice flavor. My sweetheart enjoyed his lengua and carne asada tacos, which appeared to us to be served on freshly homemade tortillas. We loved the tamale, which was deeply bronzed and served with a dollop of sour cream... one of the best cornbreads we've ever had. We also enjoyed the fried plantains, which were good, but were eclipsed by the truly outstanding refried bean dip that accompanied them. I had a steak sope, which was yummy, freshly prepared, and topped with fresh avocado, tomatoes, lettuce, and sour cream. We also loved the papusa (bean and cheese). Our meal was accompanied by two house-made salsas and a sweet slaw, which all added greatly to our enjoyment. The cost for all this goodness? Less than $20. I hope these details help folks choose to stop into Virginia's. It's worth the trip off the interstate, for sure. The food was delicious, fresh, and seemed very authentic to this Brooklynite, and the workers there were friendly and efficient. If we lived in the area, we would definitely be back regularly. read more

Amazing food. We stumbled across this spot while visiting family and will come back every time we are in town. Great food, friendly service, and super authentic an delicious read more

Got carry out today. The cheese papusas were great as were the tamals and the stewed beef. My favorite was the yucca and pork. Great prices, very friendly and quick service. We will be back to try more! read more

Best Tacos and Pupusas! and the horchata is delicious, So affordable too. Staff is friendly. Love this place! :)

I went to eat here on a Sunday at lunch time. The place appeared to be clean. The sopa de res was alright until it had a long hair in it! Told the waitress about it and she didn't even apologize. Stayed there a little longer to finish my drink and the waitress and other employees were playing around with customers I believe. Not professional at all. Not really a restaurant, more like a bar where you go hangout with the latina waitresses. read more
