Went on a weekday for lunch & there were plenty of tables. Unfortunately, no salsa bar when we went, but they gave some containers with our order. Carnitas, al pastor, & barbacoa were excellent, but the must-order is the lengua (beef tongue). The meat is literally melt-in-your-mouth & so so tender. We got a lengua taco as well as a lengua torta. Both amazing! The tres leches was good but a bit too sweet & too much cinnamon flavor for my liking. Loved the churros in the bakery portion though. Already planning the next trip back!!

The Food: I always get the tacos here, specifically the Lengua, Al Pastor and the Carne Asada. All the meats were incredibly tender and flavorful, just cooked to perfection. The toppings and salsa just add that extra level of satisfaction to your meal too. The consistency of quality here whenever I visit has always been the same, and that's why I keep coming back here. Portions are also very generous here for the price. The Service: Service was great. I've had both ordering experiences inside the restaurant and outside at their food truck and had no issues with wait times or quality. Overall, a 5/5. Would highly recommend giving this place a try if you're looking for some delicious tacos.

La Jarochita Restaurant - They have an entire concha wall which is always an indication of good things to come. I had lunch here and their food was spot on.

I got one set of beef and one set of chicken. The cost was usually $10.99 each, thru the app at least - you know how they like to mark things up in the delivery apps.... I also ordered a side of sour cream, which at $3.50 per serving is ridiculously expensive... You can buy a whole container at the store for that! For $3.50 I would usually get a whole side of something (corn, fries, onion rings, etc) at a restaurant..... The empanadas were pretty good. It was flavorful and seasoned well.. it was slightly spicy, at just the right amount, not over powering... glad I had some sour cream handy! The portions were good and reasonable. However, $3.50 for such a small container of sour cream is a bit absurd. Should be $1, or $1.50. Not sure what the yellow sauce was that came with the empanadas, but it smelled decent and didn't have any strong scents or flavors to identify it. I found the meal to be very enjoyable! I would order again.

I came here with my partner and ordered the parrillada familiar. The two of us have tried a lot of…read moresalvi restaurants in Manassas and nova and are no strangers to the cuisine or similar mixed grill dishes meant for the table. This item listed a variety of meats and side dishes to be served for 3 people. For starters the side dishes were served on individual plates as you would receive a standard side of rice and beans. So only two plates were served because there were two of us but we paid for a dish that serves 3. At the $80+ price tag we expected leftovers. The amount of guacamole each of us got was less than Chipotle gives you on a bowl. For the price point I am expecting an appetizers worth of guacamole. Because if I were to add up the cost of the individual items on the menu that made up the parrillada familiar I don't see how I got any value here. Additionally for a dish that included ribs as one of the meats to serve for three people, we literally got 3 ribs... Just between my gf and I we almost finished everything on the plate. Which again is suspicious for a dish that is supposed to serve 3 people. None of the meats were really stand out. To be clear the food wasn't bad but it was definitely not the best I had ever had and for what they charge I admit I was curious if they were able to back it up since similar dishes elsewhere are a fraction of the price. To top it off they charge an addition fee for paying with a card for a meal that ended up being over $90 before the tip. And they do not offer free water in a cup, we were forced to buy and drink from plastic bottles. The server was nice and attentive but the atmosphere was incredibly loud based just on the volume of the music, not even the other guests. There is definitely a lot to improve on here. It may be worth checking it out if you are having drinks is at the bar which is where most other patrons were sitting, but for food especially for value Manassas alone has so many other options to try.

However, the most recent visit showed how drastically you have changed - not sure if it's the recipe, cutting corners, new chefs... I ordered the carne asada and the al pastor tacos, with onions but opted out of cilantro. The filling was super generous; however, the carne asada were not the small little chunks of steak as they used to be - it was more ground beef-like? The al pastor, while the marinade was laid on super thick, I just wasn't a fan of the tangy flavor it had; plus, there were not slices of pineapples, which is my favorite part. The hot sauce seemed a bit watered down, but it still held a kick. Staff were friendly, as always; no complimentary chips due to the current pandemic, which is understandable.

The lady owner (im not sure of her name) has provided some great service and hospitality. Her interaction with the patrons go far and beyond which I love! It never seems artificial and shows a more genuine feeling. The place always has a small crowd of people waiting to be served. That isn't a bad thing because the food is actually delicious! I would definitely recommend this spot and just like the other restaurants in the area that I enjoy..welcome!
