Plenty of parking around back, it may be tricky driving into the location but we met right at 5:30. My friend got there before me and got us on the waitlist. Luckily, it wasn't that crowded yet and were seated pretty quickly. We decided to start out on their house margarita...my stupid self went ahead and answered the server "the largest one you have!" They were NOT kidding - this cut was gigantic! I told my friend that we will be getting one to share between the both of us. I made it a personal goal to finish at least half of it before leaving... I decided on their chef's special, carne steak (it was all the meat lol: steak, chorizo, with rice and beans). OMG, it was amazing with so much left over! (Spoiler - it taste amazing cold too! haha). I don't remember the dessert that we got but it was seriously like a big pancake churro with a scoop of ice cream. The place is clean and our server was great! He was on top of everything, let us do our thing and checked us on at the right time. I'm already excited for the next girl's catch up date already.

That was honestly the worst Mexican food I've ever had. The sauce on the enchilada was unlike any…read moreI've ever had. It was more of a rich sweet barbecue sauce than a typical brown sauce. Both the cheese and beef were thinly inside though the beef inside was good. My girlfriend could hardly eat the chicken fajita quesadia with its sogginess both inside and outside. Sorry, it was just that bad. Staff was pleasant though they never asked me if the meal was okay.

Very good food/service! The wait staff is absolutely amazing and the ambiance is perfect!read more

It's all decked…read moreout for Valentine's Day, and even the menu board has fun themed items including a strawberry margarita with heart shaped lollipop. Yum! The interior overall is festive, artful, spacious and inviting. Huge, attractive booths and tables make for comfortable dining. Having raised 5 children, I recognized this as the kind of restaurant we used to seek out when they were little because of how well Casa Herradura accommodates guests of all ages and sizes. Our server was fabulous, he gave us a window booth, which we love. The menu has a decent vegetarian section to begin and our server made it easy to veganize our dishes from there (hold the cheese, sour cream). He got everything perfect and kept good care checking in once food was on the table. The taco bowl and veg fajita were peak flavor and presentation, as was the margarita. This restaurant is so good I am already excited about my next dinner date! Yes: vegan friendly Yes: family friendly

They have awesome kids meals options and just about anything you would crave or want food-wise. I think you can tell a lot about a place based on how good the chips and salsa are, and their chips were amazing and they had a whole salsa bar so you could really get a great dipping variety. I got a fajitas burrito lunch special and it was so tasty. My husband got tacos Al pastor and pupusas and was very happy too. Next time I'm in the area I definitely plan to come back!

I also like the amount of booths here and the amazing service!

Tried to call the restaurant but they would not answer. The steak and chicken tasted like it had been sitting out all day and nuked in the microwave. Did not get any tortilla chips with our order and whenever we order take out from Mexican restaurants they always give you chips and salsa. Terrible will never go back. Will contact again to get our money back for the Queso.

Stopped for lunch along the way between DC and Williamsburg. I was in the mood for some ceviche and…read moreit did not disappoint! So deliciously fresh (octopus, fish, Peruvian corn). I'll tell you my favorite way to have it - order some fresh guacamole (also well seasoned) and they give you unlimited chips. Take a chip, add guac then add some fish & red onions - pop it in your mouth!! YUMM! The rest of our table got the steak and chicken fajitas, grilled tilapia, and a cheeseburger - everyone enjoyed their meal but GET THE CEVICHE! Our waiter was friendly, parking was easy and right outside. Looks like there are plenty of games/pool tables/tv's for when it's time for games or drinks at night. Lots of music vibin (medium to loud noise). It is part sports bar so expect the noise to be louder during peak times and game time. We came around 3pm so it wasn't busy at all. I would definitely stop by again in my way back to Williamsburg.

Located at Ashland Junction Shopping Center, next door Roses Discount Store, La Catrina Tortilleria…read moreserves up authentic fresh made Mexican cuisine is a low key casual setting. The place offers a full bar with seats and there are around 11 or so tables situated in the front of the space and a Mexican grocery & variety store towards the left side and back of the space. For food, they offer tacos, burritos, quesadillas, huaraches, fajitas, gorditas, sopes, tortas, caldos, tostadas, salads, cerviche, shrimp dishes, chilaquiles, fries, and a kids menu. They also have happy hour food and drink deals weekdays 3pm to 6pm. The prices seem reasonable. I stopped by La Catrina around 5:40pm before the place started to get really busy. I took a seat at an open table and complementary chips, salsa & queso were brought out. I requested an ice water as I was deciding. I decided to go with 2 happy hour items including Flautas ($9.99 plus tax) and the Tacos de Asada ($6.99 plus tax). The place became really busy and the server brought over more hot fried chips as I waited for my food. Those chips were very crunchy (some broke apart) and good with the mild salsa and dense queso. My food arrived in 20 minutes, a good amount. The flautas had 3 rolled deep fried tortillas filled with shredded chicken topped with refried beans, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, & avocado slices. The tacos de asada were 3 soft pressed corn tortillas filled with chopped grilled steak, cilantro & onions, radish & lime on the side. Green and red sauces were provided too. After I finished all of the food, I got the check which was $19.02 with tax and before tip. Overall, the food was very good and I was very full. The service was a bit delayed since the place was very busy with dine-in and takeout orders. I needed to go next door to walk around before heading out.
