But, having just returned (for the first time since my original review), it was very different. I met a friend here for lunch. We set on the patio because he brought his dog. It's cool that they allow dogs on the patio. I arrived first. As soon as I sat down, I was served chips and salsa. The waiter then came over to take my drink order. When my friend arrived, he had his drink order taken immediately as well. We then ordered our meals and had planned on eating there. A change of plans occurred someone another meal and we were going to their place to eat. We changed our mind right as they were getting ready to serve our meals. They went ahead and boxed them up for us. They also brought my to go order. The waiter handled our bill quickly and efficiently. I'm giving them five stars for this review. I found no issues with the service, the environment, or the food.

The first restaurant we chose was closed, despite it saying it was open online, so we decided to dine at El Vallarta. They weren't as busy when we arrived, but the restaurant quickly filled up while we dined here. I really enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant. It was giving a vintage Mexican housing community feel. The service here was pretty good. All of the staff we encountered were quite friendly, even with our little one. Our waiter was also quite knowledgeable of the menu. The food was very good! This was the first Mexican restaurant I visited in Virginia, so I wasn't sure what to expect. The food, however, was absolutely delicious! The enchiladas rancheros were savory and well-seasoned. It doesn't come with rice and beans, but I ordered them on the side. Even the rice and beans were well-seasoned. My husband enjoyed his tacos and our little one absolutely loved the rice. We'll be dining here again when we are back in the area.

Sometimes we are made to feel like an issue but at Santana's they were so kind and accommodating. Especially since there are stairs. She wheeled us right through the kitchen! It is a huge restaurant (deceiving!) and lots of seating. Our waitress Diamond was so sweet and on top of everything. Now the food... OUTSTANDING! The flavor was so good, as were the portion sizes! The chips were warm and the salsa tasted so fresh and made in house. The margaritas were excellent as well. Fair prices and great meals and service- hidden gem for sure!

The service was spot on from the time we walked in til the time we left. The steak tips I ordered were delicious along with the garlic mashed potatoes and green beans. This place has a relaxing ambiance to it. The menu here is massive and offers a little bit of everything for everybody's tastebuds. The parking lot here is large so that shouldn't be an issue. Good job Santana's!

That could be overlooked but there was a group at the bar who were shouting at each other instead of talking. We literally couldn't hear each other speak over them. To make matters worse, they were screaming profanities at each other as part of their "conversation." It was really bad and the staff didn't care This overshadowed everything. Would not recommend.

Living in California now and being an Elite Yelper, I've explored a good amount of my authentic, mom n pop Mexican food. I asked my mom if she had tried this place and she said no. That was my cue to come on in and check it out! The restaurant and the store are both connected and I assume owned by the same people so after I placed my order for Quesabirria Tacos, I browsed the store to see what's good. In the store I found these fruits purée canned drinks (so good but hella sugar in them - which is fine too. Just don't say you weren't warned haha) and got like 4 different flavors (strawberry banana, guava nectar, and pineapple coconut). All delicious. Highly recommend. The service was good. The young ladies helped me pick out my drinks and were super sweet. Now, the quesabirria tacos...They're not the best but the meat was very tender and the price was very affordable so I don't feel like it was a waste. I would still go back and try other things. I feel there could have been more cheese and more flavor in the beef. My tortilla was also very soft/floppy. Like I said....I'd still come back and give them one more try!

But the last two time I went for lunch it was a major let down. The food is lacking seasoning and flavor it's just bland like they don't really care about how it taste . If you order off the menu stick to what you know even the meat is not as good anymore. On the other hand the chicharrones they make on the weekend are the best and my favorite highly recommend. And no this place does not offer chips and salsa it's not that kind of place

Most servers are polite and helpful. One, however, gave us hella attitude that we walked in when they opened at the 1045 and they weren't ready to serve food - they were still working on service prep. We stood at the counter, waiting patiently when she rudely said she didn't know why they unlocked their doors (at 1045 which is their opening time) when they weren't ready and why we just didn't take a seat. Uh, maybe because when the door says you open at 1045, you should be ready to serve food at that time??? Your employee unlocked the doors to let us in. It's not our fault your staff wasn't ready to open.
