Decided on this little spot in Fairfax town center after having a quick weekend day trip to DC. Really pleasantly surprised with the whole atmosphere of the place. It's a true fusion of asian bites but still a legitimate dive bar. The space is small, patrons are merry, and the whole place is an absolute vibe. I ordered some pilsner and some other lager on tap from local breweeies. Delicious. Ordered popcorn chicken, pork belly, and some 'real food' - a quick rice bowl with chicken. The fried bites were wonderfully crispy. They have good oil management and felt quite light especially with a swig of a cold lager. The rice bowl was tasty too. Construction was indeed very Taiwanese, and yet... I still felt like I'm in a dive bar complete with all its grunge. So cool They sell 4/6 packs of craft brews here too.

I've been to all the local Tex-Mex joints in the NOVA area and Chuy's is by far our favorite spot to visit. All the food is prepared fresh from scratch every day and the quality comes through in the flavor and the presentation. Dishes I highly recommend: Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, Chile rellenos stuffed with some tasty stuff, steak burrito (swap the spicy Hatch green chile sauce for some queso and a fried egg if you're feelin' froggy), Baja fish tacos, and anything else with QUESO on it! The Tres Leches cake is the best dessert you'll EVER order in any restaurant, so save room and quit choking down chips y salsa like it's your job, pigs! You can try all the many homemade sauces for free to see which you prefer on your burritos, chuy'changas, or even your mom, etc. If you're a first-timer, then try many sauces, but if not, then... Don't ask for the "sauce Tour" 'cuz then they know you're a regular and you'll get judged... Harambe! For the most part, the staff is overly friendly and extremely knowledgeable of the menu and the inner workings of the restaurant's origins dating back to a small, hole-in-the-wall joint in Austin, TX. I've never been to Austin but I'm sure the original Chuy's has a story or two behind it's decor and ambiance, if this location is any indication. The Elvis shrine in the lobby sets the tone for the restaurant's atmosphere. I think they got their start way back in 1978? But don't quote me on that... I've had quite a few servers since I started eating here when they opened way back when, and they all had their own style and panache. Ask for Kurt if you're heading for the dining room, or Carin if you're gonna spend some time in the bar, and you can't go wrong! Carin is a bit surly, but she'll grow on ya, as will Kurt, who is easily the angriest server we've ever met, but he keeps those chips a comin' and he turns 'n burns our table like he's happy to see us leave each and every time we come in! Oh yeah, don't forget to ask for some of their signature: Green sauce ,avocado ranch, white sauce, crack sauce, purple sauce, blue sauce, the stuff your wife likes on her face, daddy dribblings, mama's milk, to go with the salsa and chips, you'll thank me later... read more

NEVER AGAIN! OFFENSIVE to anyone who respects religious freedom and diversity. When spouse-dude and self were shown to our table, we both immediately noticed something peculiar: a somewhat rumpled, badly printed paper sleeve (he thought it was trash at first) reading "This silverware has been SANITIZED for your protection," with bad clip art of a flower in a vase, in hideous yellow and green ink. Reminiscent of the ugly paper strips that motels used to place around toilet seats. BUT WAIT -- IT GETS WORSE. MUCH WORSE! After extracting our tinny tableware from its ugly protective device (and after spouse-dude scraped some crud off his knife), we discovered that the back side of the paper sleeve was printed with PRAYERS! THREE PRAYERS, in fact: your choice of Protestant, Catholic, or Jewish versions of the pre-meal ritual. Here in the DC area, those denominations probably account for less than half the population, and we were personally offended that a restaurant felt compelled to provide religious materials to its clientele. There is a mosque walking distance from the Fairfax location, and I wonder if its members aren't offended. (They should be.) Maybe a restaurant chain that intends to promote religion should go back to its home in the Bible belt. WE WON'T GO BACK. read more

We only chose this place because we've driven passed by it a lot and seen another location when we are traveling. Also it had 4 stars on yelp, which is very misleading, by the way. Now I have yelp trust issues. Finally decided to stop in and try a new place. Don't think we'll ever be returning again. The wait was 20-30 mins. The food is salty. Nothing special. The service was terrible. One of those no point in telling a manager terrible. Just wanted to eat and go. As a server I always like to be served the way I serve others. My 3 year old daughter who is a very good eater barely touched her plate. Her kids dish was very salty. The rice was really hard I wasn't sure if it was under cooked but all of our rice came out the same. We did go in with the intentions of having a drink, but never got a drink menu. I did see a table order one of the famous margaritas but our server was barley stopping by our table. We did have to keep asking other servers for things we needed. Which is ok team work makes the dream work. But I was really looking for the 4 star experience. And looking forward to 4 star food. I have to say I've eaten at places with less than 4 stars that have better tasting food and better service. read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Chuy's Mexican restaurant with my daughters, and it was a memorable experience that we thoroughly enjoyed. The food and service were outstanding and left us eager to return. I tried the Elvis Presley Enchilada Special, and it was truly an explosion of flavors. The freshness of the ingredients, combined with perfect seasoning and tender, flavorful meat made it an unforgettable dish. The serving was generous and satisfying, justifying its special status on the menu. My daughters were equally pleased with their choices. The burrito, as per my eldest daughter, was packed with flavor and served in an impressively large portion. The children's quesadilla, enjoyed by my younger daughter, was a hit as well. It was well-sized for a child's appetite and yet didn't compromise on taste. The atmosphere of Chuy's added to our delightful experience. It's vibrant and full of energy, which matches the flavorful dishes served. Chuy's has become our family's new favorite spot for delicious and authentic Mexican cuisine. We look forward to our next visit! Highly recommended to all who enjoy fantastic food in a lively and family-friendly atmosphere. read more

I dined here today and found my overall experience to be quite satisfactory. The interior had a charming decor, featuring colorful wooden fish hanging from the ceiling and numerous pictures and paintings of puppies and other images on the walls. The vintage diner chairs and booth added an interesting touch. I chose to sit in a booth, which, while cushioned, felt somewhat rigid at a 90-degree angle, making it less than ideal for extended comfort. The food portions were generous and reasonably priced. While the flavor was decent, there is potential for enhancement--particularly regarding the freshness of the guacamole and lettuce served on the side. However, I enjoyed the Berry Nada Non-alcoholic Mule, which was quite refreshing. Overall, the service met my expectations. read more

Ive eaten here several times now and I just love the atmosphere and great margaritas. My fav is the Texas Martini because its a margarita in a martini glass with jalapeño stuffed olives. I've ordered their enchiladas a lot and am never disappointed. The portions are really large so make sure you ask for a to go box. The only reason I don't give it a 5 star is because the staff needs some improvement. They aren't bad, just a little slow and forgetful. Hopefully with some more training, this will improve. read more

This was one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences we've had in a long time…read more We decided to try this place for dinner on a weekend evening and were surprised by how empty it was. At first we assumed maybe we had just come after a rush, but after seeing the condition of the dining area and the overall service, it became easier to understand why the restaurant was so quiet. Given how slow the restaurant was, we expected attentive service. We placed a fairly simple family order, and the waiter even wrote everything down, which initially gave us confidence the order would be handled correctly. Unfortunately, things went downhill from there. We were served chips and salsa while waiting for the food. When we asked for more chips, the waiter brought another basket but completely ignored the fact that the salsa was nearly gone as well -- despite placing the chips directly next to the empty container. Small details like that reflect a lack of attentiveness and basic customer awareness. The bigger issue came when the food arrived. Three separate orders were incorrect, and not minor mistakes either. Considering how empty the restaurant was, this was especially frustrating. When we pointed out the mistakes, the dishes were taken back, but they returned suspiciously fast and appeared to have simply been altered rather than remade properly. For example, sauces and toppings that were incorrectly added seemed hastily scraped off instead of the meals being freshly prepared. That is not how order corrections should be handled, especially when food allergies or dietary restrictions could potentially be involved. I understand service standards have declined in many places over the last several years, but this experience was genuinely far below expectations. Between the inattentive service, multiple incorrect orders, and poor handling of corrections, the entire dinner felt rushed and careless.

I went to receive my order and when I set down I realized I was given the wrong order. It was a steak bowl that had onions in it. When I tried to bring it to the attention to the staff they ignored me at first and said I said I asked for steak. They then asked to see my receipt. I showed them my receipt said chicken and no onions. When they remade my order they were very short with me and dismissive.

I got the Super Ramon and Lola. This was very good. Upon arriving it was quite empty but that's…read morebecause it was close to closing (they close at 7pm, beware). But when ordering everyone was really friendly. The tacos tasted very good, it was crispy and you can feel the texture of every bite. I like how the cheese was melted as well as the sauces provided. It was very crunch and I would definitely come back. The employees also stayed past 7pm and waited until I was finished. The meat felt fresh. It was pricey but worth it

The Ramona Empandas were great! Got the spinach and cheese, chicken, brisket, beef, and pork. All…read morevery good, great dough, flaky and perfectly fried!

We came here early one morning to try out breakfast burritos. The folks working at the counter were…read morevery friendly and I liked that I could make the burritos to order. However, all the ingredients sat in the counter and did not look fresh or appetizing. Once I tasted my burrito, it seemed to lack flavor as well. I did like that the tortilla used was layered, similar to an Indian parantha. While the meal was fine, flavor and freshness was not prioritized so I won't be returning to this gas station shop.

Was stopping by to grab gas and walked in to this shocker!…read more A taco place in a 7/11 whats going on here! Well let me tell you GOODNESS This place doesn't give the usual in gas station food vibes. They stood out on their own, the smell of the food and they waY everything looked fresh was a plus. Just a quick bit before our travels and I must say every time we come up this was this is where we are going to stop each time..

It was nearly two years ago I tried to visit the del ray location but it was raining and at the…read moretime they couldn't be open in those conditions, so it was fitting to visit the mosaic location and eat comfortably outside, as it rained. The decor is vibrant and inviting. We tried a variety of food: sharp dressed man, Baja taco, walking taco, and half pound pork ribs. The margarita was good and he liked the beer selection. My favorite parts were the cinco de mayo specials for drinks and the sharp dressed man. Didn't love the total price at the end but would certainly do any specials or HH.

Awesome service and enjoyable food make Hi/Fi a unique and enjoyable stop in the Mosaic District…read more They have a unique BBQ & Tex-Mex menu and they offer both BBQ and Tex Mex items or some items that are the best of both worlds. The chips and guacamole was enjoyable. Nothing special about the chips but they did the job, The guacamole was very tasty and a large enough portion to fill all the chips. The tacos here are a must try! The Taco El Vis is a tribute to the King himself. It's a unique taco I've never seen anywhere else and is smoky bacon, peanut butter, sweet and sour habanero and smoked crema. It might sound odd but it all works together perfectly for a unique and very enjoyable taco. The Sharp Dressed Man is also enjoyable but not quite as unique as El Vis. It has homemade smoked brisket, homemade queso, pico, and crema on a corn tortilla. The sides are worth a try as well. The plantains are perfectly seasoned and freshly fried. The black beans are also hot and fresh though I don't think we got the cojita and pickled onions Drinks are also a hit here. The Tommy's margarita is a tasty basic margarita while the Al Pastor margarita has mezcal, rum, pineapple and smoke bitters for a unique and enjoyable smoky taste. Service is very friendly here and they have a record/music theme with amps in the back and classic rock hits playing. They have a few shuffleboard tables and a vintage Golden Tee machine if you want to play some golf. This place isn't cheap (welcome to Mosaic) but it's an enjoyable spot with tasty food/drinks and awesome service and I'll come here again.

They seem to have mostly tacos so ordered the El Camaron in corn shells (good thing they give you choice as wheat ones are just not as tasty). You get 3 medium size shrimps per taco with slaw, mango salsa and sriracha cream. Pretty good flavor although could have a bit more cilantro and overall taste is quite sweet with the mango. A bit pricy at $6 per taco since they are normal sized. Online ordering is pretty easy and straightforward, and they use paper containers instead of plastic which is preferable.
