Parking was easy with a large garage right next to the restaurant, which made it especially convenient before heading to a show nearby. When we walked in, the bar was packed with people watching the game, and it had a fun, lively atmosphere. It definitely looked like a great place to catch a sporting event. The service was excellent from start to finish. The owner even came over to introduce himself, which was a really nice touch and made us feel welcome. The chips and salsa were good, just what you'd hope for at a quality Mexican restaurant. We ordered the shrimp fajitas, regular fajitas, and a couple of quesadillas from the kids menu. Even though the menu says it's for kids 8 and under, they were happy to let our slightly older kids order from it. It was a fantastic value, although I'd recommend it more for kids around 12 and under based on the portion sizes. Everything we ordered was fresh and flavorful, but the standout was definitely the homemade tortillas. They were outstanding. I also asked for a hot sauce, and they brought out a fresh green sauce that completely elevated the meal. I'm not sure exactly what was in it, but it was incredible. Great food, friendly service, easy parking, and a welcoming atmosphere. We'd definitely come back and would highly recommend Rango's to anyone looking for excellent Mexican food in Virginia.

What started as "one more stop before heading home" turned into one of the highlights of the evening. From the moment you walk in, Ometeo has an energy that's hard to miss. The restaurant is beautifully designed with two levels of indoor seating, a spacious outdoor patio, and both an indoor and covered outdoor bar. Whether you're meeting friends for Happy Hour, planning a date night, or hosting a celebration, there's a space that fits the occasion. One thing that really impressed me was the variety of private event spaces. They offer everything from fully private rooms to semi-private options that can accommodate seated dinners, cocktail receptions, or standing events. As someone who plans events, I immediately appreciated how thoughtfully the spaces were designed. Happy Hour is offered Monday through Friday from 3-6 p.m. and all day on Sundays, making it an easy excuse to stop by. The prices are reasonable, and there's a great selection of Tex-Mex favorites, cocktails, beer, and wine. We ordered the Carnitas de Puerco and the Chicken Tinga Tacos. After adding a squeeze of lime and a touch of salt to the tacos, they were absolutely delicious. I also ordered the signature Ometeo Margarita, which was beautifully presented and just as refreshing as it looked. What truly completed the experience was the customer service. Everyone we encountered was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making us feel like they were happy we chose to spend part of our evening there. Between the vibrant atmosphere, beautiful design, delicious food, refreshing cocktails, and outstanding hospitality, Ometeo is much more than a place to grab a meal--it's an experience. Pro tip: Retail parking is complimentary for the first two hours, making it even easier to stop in for Happy Hour. We'll definitely be back.

These Humintas are huge! Love how thick and still moist are! The cheese was salty enough to break through the sweetness of the corn masa. If you like cornbread, this is definitely elevated corn bread! The cashier asked me if I wanted these to be put in the oven to reheat in case I wanted to eat there, but I was taking them home for dinner, so I didn't. They have outdoor seating if you want to eat the baked goods! The humintas and most of the baked items are $3.50, which is a reasonable price for how big are! Definitely will try other things but humintas/humitas are my fav!
