Parrando's has become our go‑to Tex‑Mex spot for a reason. The ambience is always pleasant and…read morecomfortable, especially around the bar area where we prefer to sit. It has that perfect balance of lively and relaxed, making it easy to settle in and enjoy lunch.. We always stick to our usual -- the large margaritas and the fried chicken wings with Mexican rice -- and they never disappoint. Honestly, this is probably the best fried chicken in all of NOVA. Crispy, flavorful, and consistently excellent. It's the kind of dish you never get tired of ordering. What really sets Parrando's apart is the service. Sitting at the bar is a must for us because the bartenders make the experience. Josue has always been fantastic, and now with Alex -- who came over from Los Carnales -- it's even better. Having two of the best bartenders in town behind the same bar was a great surprise and makes every visit feel even more welcoming. Parrando's continues to deliver great food, great drinks, and great people. It's the kind of place you look forward to returning to every time.

Our party of 4 adults and 3 toddlers just had an amazing lunch here. We ordered 1 creamy shrimp…read moreappetizer, 1 beef tongue taco (comes with 3 tacos), 1 beef burrito, 1 seafood quesadilla, and 1 seafood enchilada. The total was $110 before tax and tips - $140 post tax and tips. The party consensus was that the seafood quesadilla was out of this world. The fish was super tasty and the platter was extraordinary complementary. On the other hand, my favorite was the beef burrito. I loved everything about it. The party's second favorite was the beef tongue tacos. They noted that the beef tongue was super soft and delicious. The flavor within that dish was superb. My second favorite, once again deviating from the group, was the seafood enchilada. I love its combination of sour, spicy, and saltiness. The portions were amazing. The taste was great. And the service was spot on. 5/5 and we will return!

We tried Café Bueno last night because we had wanted to try it for a long time. I have to say that…read moreI was not overly impressed. The burrito I had was decent although the steak was of average cut. The shrimp inside the burrito were great. It was tasty so I will give them that, although it would be nice to have some sour cream for the top of the burrito like I get at other places. Additionally, the refried beans were a little thin. Not watery per se, but just kind of runny. The chips were fresh, although the one thing I really didn't like was that we had to pay for them and the salsa, which was bland. Virtually all other Mexican places bring you chips and salsa to start your meal. And honestly, for what I got, I think it was kind of pricy. I think there are much better options out there in the Frederick area for Mexican food. I'm not really sure what all the hype was for this place.

UPDATE: After getting a lovely response from the management…read moreat this location through Google reviews, I decided to give them another try! My friend and I had lunch there yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised with this experience. I ordered the chicken enchiladas with the molé sauce and my friend ordered the shrimp tacos. The presentation of the enchiladas was impressive and the shrimp tacos looked tasty! I loved the sauce on my dish and the cheese/queso. I was full after 2 and a half of the enchiladas. It came with 4. My friend filled up on 2/3 of the tacos. Soni was our server and she did amazing! She was sure to keep our waters filled and was consistently checking in with us. The cleanliness of the restaurant and bathrooms were still impressive, despite a couple of crumbs on the table when we sat down. The chips and salsa were still my favorite part. I can be pretty picky when it comes to salsa but I love the texture and taste of this salsa. The chips always come out crispy and fresh! We were there at lunch time and the restaurant was not super busy. I'm glad I gave them another try! My husband and I love mexican food and were excited to try this location. I was very pleased with the environment when we walked in. The staff was welcoming and the restaurant was beautiful. I was excited to get seated in a booth immediately on a Friday at around 5. I will also say that the bathrooms were incredibly clean! My husband and I both ordered tacos, but we were disappointed to find out they were out of the Birria tacos. I was shocked because it seemed early enough on a Friday for them to not be running out of items. I ordered chicken tacos and was not impressed. They were very bland and didn't come with much to add to the chicken and tortilla although, the plate was presented beautifully. My husband ordered the fish tacos and while he did enjoy them, they were also quite underwhelming. The service was not exceptional. I had to ask for water multiple times and as I was once a waitress myself, I was always taught water should be served immediately. I also had to remind my waitress 2 times that we had ordered the queso. It didn't come out until we had already received our food. Despite this, the chips and salsa were actually quite tasty and kept us satisfied. The server did bring more chips when we were getting low and was attentive to my soda and my husbands beer. I did feel the waitress could've been more attentive, but she was very kind and cheerful. I feel it's also important to note that the restaurant did not seem to be busy. I was happy to find that for two orders of tacos, a beer, and a soda, the bill was roughly $50, plus a $10 tip. While my husband and I prefer other Mexican restaurants in the area, I am glad we got to experience El Habanero.

A good size and great heat and flavor. 2) The chips and salsa they bring out were good. The salsa was a little thin and not much flavor, but still enjoyable. 3) The regual guacamole (not the fresh one) was very onion heavy.

Soft and flavorful. 6) The refried beans were bland and needed salt. 7) Birria Tacos were good, but the consumme (dipping birria juice) was also bland. 8) The carne tacos were fantastic.

Los Carnales has a great setup, especially if you enjoy sitting near the action. The bar area is…read morespacious with plenty of seating, and we chose to sit right at the bar. The ambience is lively without feeling cramped, which makes it an easy place to settle in after work. Happy Hour: Their happy hour is definitely the main draw. The large margaritas are priced extremely well, and when the mix is right, they're excellent. The only downside is consistency -- sometimes the drinks have a good balance of alcohol, and other times they taste more like lemonade and feel watered down. The appetizer prices are also great. We ordered the fried wings and Mexican rice; both were okay and edible, but not particularly memorable compared to other spots. Service: Service was generally good, but with only one bartender covering the entire bar, there were stretches where he disappeared or was tied up. Nothing terrible, just not the level of attentiveness you get at places with more staff behind the bar. Overall: Despite the inconsistencies, we'd come back. The happy hour prices are hard to beat, and when the drinks hit right, it's worth the visit.

Highly recommend stopping in if you're anywhere nearby. Casa Rico nails the essentials and makes breakfast feel like an experience worth seeking out. I wish I took a picture of my breakfast, but I dug in and devoured it sooo good
