Foods GREAT customer service is terrible though! They rather set tables than take or get to go orders. I ordered my food at 11:45 and I was told the food would be ready in 10 minutes. I gave them 20 minutes and I didn't get my food or any type of services until 12:30. I had to go speak with management and tell them to cancel my order if it wasn't ready and that I had been waiting for 30 minutes. He goes in the back and long and behold my order had been ready. The servers where just too concerned about their tables and not with other customers. I wasn't the only one, it was 2 others that had ordered early and they had a hard time trying to get their food as well. Please do better because we love the food but we can't allow you to make us late getting back to work because the workers don't want to do their JOB! But the manager guy is awesome! So if you ever have any problems like I did make sure you go talk to him.

I brought two Co-workers from out of the area and they loved the meal. I always enjoy the food and sometimes try new things, sometimes just go with my favs. The service was great and can’t beat their lunch menu prices.

We hosted our rehearsal dinner for a wedding here. The staff had no problem reserving enough space for the 30 of us (we called a few weeks in advance). Once there, they were super attentive and quick, everyone at the table had a margarita in their hand at all times, it was perfect. Food came our super speedy too for how many of us there were! Prices are great and the food was delicious! Definitely recommend!

Standard fare Mexican food. Menu is straightforward and has all the classics. Portions are very good and the pricing is fair. Service not incredibly fast, and due to the location, this place does get busy at lunch time. Definitely worth a visit and easy place to make a regular lunch stop.

I've been a server/bartender since I was 16 so I grew up in this industry. It takes a lot for me to write a bad review. Food and drinks were not bad, it was the service that put me over the edge. I did have a table of 11, so that does slow things down, but not this bad. We waited over an hour to place our food orders (2 rounds of drinks later). We were never checked in on or given the option to ask for to-go boxes. We waited 20 minutes after finishing our meals for the opportunity to ask for our checks. Then another 45-60 minutes to actually receive our checks. Everyone was separate checks so certain individuals left cash and left the restaurant. Others waited with their debit cards. Staff threatened us (calling the cops) since not enough cash was left, however, they were ignoring the fact that half of us had just handed them debit cards. It was a horrible experience and never were they sympathetic due to the ridiculous wait we dealt with (specifically the manager). Do not go here expecting quality service.

Finally REAL Mexican food in Virginia. Even with only 1 waiter working, the service was fine and the food was great. Bad news - like every other place in the country - the serving of guacamole was microscopic. But we only have tariffs on Mexico to thank for that.

Love love love the food!!! Absolutely delicious!! The chorizo cheese dip is outta this world! The service is good, but slow. I don't recommend going there if you are in a rush. We usually spend our Sunday afternoons there. Another must have- mixed frozen margarita, strawberry and lime!! Yum! Get the master mix and split it with friends!
