Rango's absolutely lived up to the hype. We came after hearing it was one of the best Mexican…read morerestaurants in Virginia, and it did not disappoint. 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.

Another food runner immediately brought us water and chips and salsa. The salsa tasted a little bland and felt like it was missing some salt or some other seasoning/ingredient. We ordered another round but it was about the same. The chips were great. The seafood enchiladas I ordered were flavorful and there was a great spread of guacamole, sour cream, beans and rice. The plates were served hot and the kitchen had the good come out quite quickly which was appreciated. We'll be back!

We got a Boom-boom enchilada and a steak fajitas. Boom-boom sauce is great - heavy, cheesy, very tex mex. Love it. Comes with a generous amount of refried beans and rice. You can swap out sides if you want. Fajitas was delicious too - lots of food and the toppings were generous. Service can be hit-or-miss depending on the time you go.

Our bellies definitely weren't big enough to try more, but everything we had was delicious. There's plenty of space inside, which I loved, and the bathrooms were clean.

I came early on a Friday around 5:00PM. It was fairly empty, and by 6:30PM, it filled with patrons. I ordered Pacifico on draft, which is not included within Happy Hour, and their 22 ounce glass is not cheap. I ordered beef fajitas for my meal. They provided a really nice complimentary tortilla and two salsas, which got me started with my beer on an empty stomach. The fajita's came with rice and beans. I enjoyed the entire dish and had a great time. Mosaic is a really cool area that I try to visit when I'm in this part of Virginia because of the variety of restaurants and shops. It's just a cool place that we don't have anywhere in NYC. Mosaic actually has a city vibe without the headache of parking and commotion. There's a huge three or four level parking garage, with street parking.

3.5/5 Happy Hour…read moreExperience-came here around 5:30pm on a Friday- did not need reservations. We did happy hour (bar area only)- they had high top seats so we could sit with each other). We got the $11 nachos with brisket, $11 taquitos chicken, $12 taquitos el pastor?, and $7 margs. The food was yummy- and the margs were good. The service was a bit slow and lacking-we had to be the ones to flag down the server multiple times- even went up to the counter to place our orders because we couldn't catchy anyone's attention. It took margaritas almost 20 minutes to get out- of it was faster we probably would've ordered more. It was getting busier but far from being packed. We saw the employees chatting and goofing around a lot. tldr: food and drinks were good but took a while to be able to order and get the food and drinks out. Decent happy hour prices (in this economy).

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.

But I left wondering why an upscale Tex-Mex restaurant would use so much rice that the actual filling felt like a garnish. A burrito should be memorable for its flavor, not for the archaeological excavation required to locate the meat.
