The back page of the menu has the "street style" food. I got a few tacos; a carnitas, a chorizo, and a pollo. The tacos come with corn tortillas and those tortillas were very fresh and tasty, though they ripped easily. The meats inside were pretty flavorful, with the chorizo being my favorite. They also make a house jalapeno cream sauce, which was really good and they make a habanero sauce, which was very spicy, but not too flavorful. Overall... Dinner was really good. I can see why this place is so popular and why the reviews are so good. Definitely worth stopping in!

When I asked a personal friend of mine of Mexican origin what special restaurant she and her…read morefamily went to eat at to celebrate Easter, she replied: "Our usual place. My husband took us to El Costeño Mexican Grill." This triggered a desire to go try it out. She also told me, and our server later confirmed, that the owners were from Veracruz, Mexico. After doing some research I found out that Veracruz cuisine is known for its unique blend of indigenous, Spanish, and Afro-Caribbean influences resulting in a rich and flavorful mix of flavors. So with this background, you can imagine why I immediately made plans to go have dinner there with a friend who also appreciates good Mexican cuisine. When we arrived to the restaurant on Peter Creek Rd NW Roanoke, Virginia, it was located in a small strip mall of two businesses shared by a gas station. Yet surprisingly it also had a brick outdoor patio dining area as well, with outdoor seating. Inside, the restaurant was clean and organized, simple decor, some very unique style framed Mexican paintings on its walls all around. As soon as we entered a young lady host came out and gave us a warm welcome with a big smile and took us to one of the tables to be seated and gave us a copy of the menu. Our server, a young, friendly lady greeted us, brought us a basket of tortilla chips with a couple of bowls with salsa, and took our drink order. To drink we both just had Iced water, although they had a variety of softdrink, beers, and Margaritas. The Chips were fresh, thin, and crispy; and the salsa tasted amazing. Their menu was full of authentic Mexican food, including, super burritos and fajitas, as well as their famous mole sauce. All at reasonable prices. For appetizer we ordered the Queso con Chorizo. To eat my friend ordered the Super Burrito, and I ordered the King Burrito. The Chorizo of the appetizer was the Spanish Style with is richer in flavor and the Queso was soft and yummy. Best appetizer of its kind I've ever had. My friend's entrée looked wonderful with Mole on top. And he said it tasted like heaven. My King Burrito looked great with the melted cheese as well as the guacamole on top, and tasted amazingly delicious, filled with quality ingredients seasoned and cooked wonderfully. For dessert we both had a Churro Bowl that also was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant for the comfortable and relaxed atmosphere, amazing, genuine Mexican food, and extraordinary service.

Housed in a small, bright yellow…read morebuilding on Hershberger Rd, we must not let its size fool us; for its menu, quality of food, attention to detail, and extraordinary customer service are nothing but amazing. After I found out from a Mexican friend of mine that it just had opened a few days ago, I immediately made plans to go visit and try it out. And what I discovered by doing so far exceeded my highest expectations of the restaurant. I arrived at the restaurant on a late afternoon, after quickly finding it with the help of its exterior bright yellow color and colorful restaurant signs: one in front of its front patio dining area, and another high above on the building itself. The restaurant has a parking lot for the convenience of its customers, and the main entrance is through a door on the right side of the building. As one enters its door, one can't help but notice the cleanliness of the place, which its interior design is in the minimalist decor, with walls painted golden-yellow, black ceiling, with black furniture, and imitation cherry wood hardwood floors. No wall nor other decorations. Its elegance is reflected in its simplicity of decor and in the beautiful bar glassware with thick quality glass and blue highlights, displayed on the bar shelves with mirror background. Next to the bar located in back of the restaurant are a pair of rotating doors that lead to the kitchen. As soon as I entered the door of the restaurant, I was immediately greeted by the host who gave me a warm welcome, asked me to pick the table of my choice, and handed me a copy of the menu and took my drink order of a glass of Iced Orchata non-alcoholic drink. Then my server, Ruth came by, warmly greeted me, answered some questions of the menu I had, and took my order. By the way, the menu had a great selection of familiar Mexican food items and some unique ones as well. As appetizer I ordered Tortilla Chips with Guacamole dip. As the main entrée I ordered the Molcajete. I invite the readers of this review to view my photographs of the menu and of the food enjoyed for a more detailed picture of my food. After all, it is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. The food was amazingly delicious. In presentation, quality of items, seasoning, and cooked to perfection. Simply, a Mexican culinary delight. For dessert, I ordered the house Tiramisu. Amazing, from a Mexican restaurant. In conclusion, I highly recommend this one of a kind Mexican restaurant. This family-owned business has it all to receive a Five Star review. Entrepreneurial owners with very creative imagination and wonderful personalities. I was able to chat with them before leaving. A distinguished yet relaxing ambiance. Wonderful menu. And excellent customer service. All together contributing to an extraordinary dining experience.

Searching for new restaurants around the area, I discovered a new Mexican Restaurant that had…read moreopened its doors three weeks ago in the Northwest area of Roanoke, Virginia. But this is not your typical Mexican Restaurant After being awarded the Triad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And Tequila's Mexican Grill in Roanoke, Virginia, is the perfect example. A Hispanic family-owned restaurant business, interestingly enough the owner is not Mexican, but Honduran. But is a connoisseur of the New Mexican cuisine and has had restaurant experience by having two restaurants like this one in North Carolina. Their menu is the most creative menu that I have ever seen. It not only contains items of authentic Mexican cuisine, like the usual Tacos, Burritos, Quesadillas, Fajitas, and Enchiladas, but other items that do don't expect to find in a Mexican Restaurant menu as well, such as Empanadas appetizer, Fried Rice, Vegetarian & Vegan items, and a Special section entitled Mixed containing items such as Churasco, Chori Steak, El Paisano, and Ranchero Especial, to name a few. With their dessert menu they include items like Chocolate Lava Cake, and their Special Flan is not only covered with roasted caramel but with chocolate syrup as well. Their Tequila menu contains some very original ones such as Zorro and Tropical Mango. Their bar menu contains some amazing cocktails besides the typical Margaritas, Tequilas, Beer and Wines.They have drinks like Sex on the Beach and Bahama Mamas. They also have a nice selection of Martinis and Mojitos as well as Liquors. But besides excellent food, the ambiance of the place is such that once you step inside the restaurant you immediately feel right at home. The interior decor is not extravagant like in many Mexican restaurants but is comfortable with an air of distinction. Even their booths are elegant and at the same time very comfortable and relaxing. A perfect ambiance to enjoy wonderful food and drinks. And last but not least their employees are the best. They have a mixture of selected people from Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala, just to name a few, whose primary focus is to serve, so that you have an extraordinary dining experience. When I arrived a young gentleman host greeted me with a friendly smile and a warm welcome, taking me to a booth of my choosing next to a window so I had proper lighting to photograph my food and document my dining experience. I invite you to view my photographs accompanying this review for a better sense of the food and the atmosphere of the place. Soon right after I sat down along with the menu, my server a young lady, came by, introduced herself and took my drink and appetizer order and gave me more time in order to choose my main entrée out of the great variety of items found in the menu. To drinkI ordered a non-alcoholic Jumbo Mango Daiquiri. And as appetizer I ordered the Choriquso to go with my Tortilla Chips and Salsa, which by the way, were some of the best I've ever had in a Mexican Restaurant. I invite you to view the video clip of my sizzling Choriqueso appetizer: Grilled Mexican sausage with melted cheese. It was amazingly delicious! For my main entrée I ordered the Churrasco from the Mixed section of the menu: A 10 oz. Skirt Steak with Fried Plantain topped with diced Shrimp and Pico de Gallo, and served with rice. I love rice, and this rice was amazing. The Fried Plantain was gigantic. The Shrimps were plumpy, very tasty, and plentiful. I had asked for my steak to be cooked medium rare but it was cooked extremely well done and dry. I feel this took away from the tenderness and natural juices of the meat. So when my server came to see how I was doing I mentioned this to her and asked to see the manager. She very gracefully agreed with me and went to get the manager. The manager was very kind and blamed the cook for not following directions on how to cook the meat and offered to have him cook me another steak. I accepted her offer and this time the steak came out perfect. It was tender and juicy, and its juices made it flavorful. I was extremely content in the way the manager handled the situation and saved my otherwise perfect dining experience. For dessert I ordered the Fried Ice Cream. A picture is worth a thousand words so I invite you to view my photographs and video clip of it and judge for yourself. It was amazing, and the perfect Grand Finale of an extraordinary dining experience. I highly recommend this new and innovative Mexican Restaurant, a welcomed addition to our community culinary scene.

Even though there are several Tacos Rojas around, each one is owned and operated by a different family member, with the same menu, but slightly different ambience and decor. What I liked about this restaurant was the modern yet simple exterior architectural design, and small but warm and cozy interior. Its location is also very beautiful, where from the back window you can see a beautiful landscape surrounded by mountains. A friend and I decided to go visit this restaurant for an early dinner the day after 5 de mayo and overall we weren't disappointed. We were fortunate enough to have been greeted and welcomed by the owner himself who was very friendly and kind. We sat at a table near the back of the restaurant and at the time were the only customers there. A basket of Tortilla Chips and Salsa was brought to our table and they were very fresh and delicious. My friend ordered a dish with two Chimichangas, one beef and one chicken, and I ordered the Carnitas Burrito. The food was very good and my burrito was humongous, although its temperature was somewhat lukewarm and this detracted from its flavor and rating for this restaurant. There is no reason for an empty restaurant to be be serving lukewarm food. For dessert we both had a slice of their Flan, which had the right consistency, flavor, and temperature. Overall this was a very clean and cozy restaurant, with a small bar, in a beautiful location, with an appropriate decor, serving quality Mexican food. If the manager listens to my constructive feedback and takes action, I would no hesitate in returning and highly recommending the restaurant for its food and great service.
