Look, the truth is the food is delicious and I wouldn't change a thing about it. Even the chips are delicious! My boyfriend and I both have had a variety of different dishes there, and we are always impressed with the quality of the food. No complaints whatsoever where the food is concerned. But the drinks are overpriced. They are yummy, but overpriced. The skinny margarita is delicious. For a quiet strip mall where it is located, he and I agree the drinks should not be that expensive. Drink prices are the only reason I gave it four stars. It's a hike to get there, and a little out of the way, but it would be more worth it if the drinks were reasonably priced. read more

Went there on a Monday evening. Not very crowded. Good food, good service and $6 happy hour margarita on the rocks. Will be back.

This place was surprisingly pretty good! It's unassuming from the outside, but we really enjoyed the food and drinks. The prices are a little high for your standard Mexican fare, but it seems to fit the area as the whole neighborhood feels high end. read more

First time trying this restaurant and we were so very impressed!! Absolutely delicious Mexican quality tasting meals! The carne asada was spot on tender and amazingly juicy! You could cut it with a fork! No knife required at all...just amazing and super flavorful! It came with sides of delicious charro beans, rice, lettuce, and guacamole. We also ordered a large guacamole that was super fresh and so amazingly delicious as was the birria quesadilla!! Everything was wonderful!! Would most definitely order from here again!! read more

Terrific food and people! The three enchilada platter is really outstanding and the fajitas are excellent. The salsa--always an indicator of a good Mexican restaurant--is fantastic. It's also a beautifully decorated restaurant. Plus they have Pacifico on tap--what else could I ask for? Five stars for La Finca! read more

We live in the area and avoided this place because it was never busy and some of the old reviews weren't great but we were completely WRONG to not check it out. First, our server Jazmin was amazing. Extremely polite and stayed on top of everything the whole time. Second, when the food came out and everything was great. Their chips and salsa were basic but hit the spot. They have a house habanero sauce that we highly recommend. Frozen margs were great. Birria tacos, queso, chimichangas, and tamales were great. Great food quality all around. First warm day of spring and the outdoor patio with light up umbrella made it even better. Can't wait to come back. read more

The food was mediocre and the servers spent more time on their phones than serving us. Not only that, I have a fish and shellfish allergy. I called ahead and asked if they had separate cooking surfaces and fryers for their seafood and asked about cross contact concerns. They assured me that the fish and shellfish were handled separately. Well, that doesn't appear to be the case, because I had an allergic reaction after we ate. We won't be returning. read more

We stopped by here on a whim to get our craving for Birria tacos satisfied. I'm glad to report they were delicious! The cheese was melty and the meat was perfectly cooked. We also orders the chimichangas with seafood which was filled with scallops and shrimp. The flavors worked really well together and I would order that dish again. Service was prompt and courteous. The flowers on the table were situated in different Tequila bottles which I thought was cute. They have a lunch special that is a bit less expensive so I would like to come back and try those options. read more

I stopped in to La Finca for dinner one late afternoon. I ordered the Nachos with shredded chicken, an order of Enchiladas, and a side of Guacamole. The server first brought out some chips and salsa to munch on while I waited. The salsa was decent. The food came out in about 10 minutes. The Nachos were pretty good - the shredded chicken on the Nachos was tender, moist and succulent. And the Enchiladas were pretty good. I very much enjoyed the dark sauce (perhaps a Mole sauce) ladled over the Enchiladas. The Guacamole was rather uninteresting, it had almost no flavor. Service was good. Will check this place out again. The acoustics in the place are a bit weird - there was only 3 other tables of diners while I was there - but the place has this weird echoing kind of audio sound to it. #LaFincaMexicanRestaurant read more

Now that it's under a new administration the food and the service has greatly improved. Best plate is El Jefe and the tacos. Best drink the Long Island Ice Tea and the Margarita Flights. Definitely recommend this place if you're in the Haymarket/Gainesville areas. ***Forgot to take the picture when the plate got to me*** read more

My daughter, her dad and I went to La Finca on Saturday. (The sign out front says new management.) My review is a high 3. Like 3.7 stars. -We walked into a beautiful restaurant. Clean and plenty of nice decor to look at. I'd love to have one of those ceiling fans in my house. Very nice looking. The people running the place were super nice, friendly, and smiley. - We ordered chips with guacamole, salsa and queso. Each one of those were absolutely delicious. We just kept eating it and she brought out more chips. So good. Salsa had flavor. Imagine! And the Guacamole was the best I've been served. Salty and fresh. - I forgot the name of my order. Hmm. But it was tasty and good. It was chicken with green/red peppers and zucchini squash. I asked they only use a teensy bit of onions and they didn't put any on the food at all. That's great! Sometimes fajitas and similar are served with more onions than veggies so I was pleased. Beans were good. I just wish there were more of them. Chicken and veggies were good. Rice was just ok. Except for the rice, I cleared my plate. My Mexican Mule was also tasty. I make those at home now too. -kids dad got shrimp tacos. That man always gets shrimp or fish tacos when we go out. - Daughter got a taco salad. Usually she picks through it and I feel like I wasted my money but not today! She ate most all of it. - We were asked if we want dessert and sure! Why not? We ordered churros alamode and a sticky toffee cake alamode. Both were delicious. Specially with that strawberry ice cream. All of the food was good. The people were great. The business was clean. But there wasn't much "Mexican" about it. Very American. Like American, American. Also more and more, when I go out to eat, the places seem empty. People just ordering take out and complain that stuff is missing or small portions. I don't know why people don't dine in more often. We love it. Good to get out and eat. - My 3.7 stars are because I didn't feel the Mexican flair. I don't know how to explain it. Also, I want more beans. Rice could be more flavorful. But we would definitely come back. We had a great time. read more

I've been contemplating on writing this review because it has been great but there have been times there was improvement needed. I literally had this place rated as a 4 until my last two visits... They opened up recently for about a month and a half now and don't get me wrong..the food is really good! Drinks are good and they always have hot chips and salsa ready for you as soon as you sit down. I've ordered multiple entrees and have yet to be disappointed. As for the service, it has been hit or miss and most recently more misses. I know it has been a new opening but they should really think of the possibility of hiring another hand. My last visit I would be waiting for a while which I get is normal..but not for a slightly empty room. I had to get the attention of someone multiple times for different reasons. That's not really how I'd like to spend my dining time. Overall I'll continue to visit here and spend my money because of the convenience and good food and drinks. I want to see this place stick around but they really have to do better with the service. read more

I have to admit Virginia is our second home so we don't get a chance to go out to the restaurants there as much as my wife and I like to. It's been a couple years since we were at La Finca but we understand there's new management. Hopefully now everything from the service, food and even high prices ($6 for 1 taco) Have improved. read more

I ordered a taco salad. It clearly had been made and frozen beforehand because the plate was hot but the inside of the taco salad was cold. It must have been refrozen because there was liquid from the water frost on the bottom. read more

Great food, great service, and great prices! This place is unassuming, cozy, and clean - so glad we came here for dinner. Our waitress was really nice and funny. We were waited on immediately - chips and salsa were set on the table right away. I got a frozen margarita and the deluxe chimichanga with pulled beef. The margarita was very good and the chimichanga was covered in a delicious cheese sauce. The cheese sauce was thin but very flavorful. The meal came with a side of rice, refried beans, guacamole, and sour cream. We ordered the sopaipillas for dessert - they reminded me of Cinnamon Toast Crunch :). Plenty of parking is available and patio seating is an option as well. Next time I'd love to sit on the patio on a nice day! Definitely recommend. read more

What can I say, this is authentic Mexican food. The rice and beans were perfection, the flautas were delicious. The cheese with chorizo was great. I saw a lot of comments and those who prefer Uncle Julio's definitely prefer the American version of Mexican food. It is overpriced, however I imagine it's because of location. If you want good Mexican food this is the place to go. How can I be certain? I'm Mexican :), one of my pet peeves in the area is that there is no good Mex food, now there are two--La Finca and La China Poblana. If you are from Mexico and miss the food without wanting to cook it--this is the place. read more

My wife and I enjoyed an absolutely delicious meal on a recent 'date night.' The chips and salsa and bean dip were a yummy appetizer. Our main courses -- the carnitas and the crazy chicken -- we're both well seasoned and served w/ generously portioned sides. We'll go back here again as the menu has lots of choices and we've plenty still to try. read more

La Finca Mexican Restaurant - Carnitas and crazy chicken - Mexican Near Me - Gainesville, Virginia

Stopped here to eat on a whim and I'm glad we took a chance! Food was great (I have to recommend the guacamole and chorizo quesadillas!). The server was super friendly and attentive! She gave us plenty of time to make up our minds and came around a good amount of times to make sure we had enough to drink and eat! The restaurant itself is a little on the smaller side but looks nice and modern and even has a huge selection of alcohol. Would definitely come again! read more

The food was amazing all through the rice was a little cold but everything else was great. The waiter and his service was awesome. The atmosphere of the place is awesome. I kept passing by this place several times and decided to stop this time and I'm glad I did I would definitely recommend. read more

La Finca Mexican Restaurant - Yellow rice - Mexican Near Me - Gainesville, Virginia

First time trying this restaurant and not sure if I'll come back. Ordered 2 ceviches to go for father's day, and I should know better and check my food befre I leave but I had waited enough and I just wanted to go home and eat with the family. My husband had asked for ceviche and we thought of trying this place. We came home to a small amount of fish ceviche. Very dissapointed, especially considering that their menu says it is a shrimp and fish ceviche. When I called to complain about the missing shrimp in the ceviches, they claimed they "chop up the shrimp and mix it in with the fish", but I looked and looned and find not one piece of shrimp. They told me I could come back for a new ceviche, but it's not like I live next door to it and I just wanted to sit down amd celebrate my husband. The fish did taste good. So my review is, pricey for the amount of food you receive $28 for 2 very small ceviches,) and make sure you check your food before you leave, especially if the restaurant is not too close to your home. read more

Was excited to try this new place since it just recently opened. The food is decent, but not overly amazing. Maybe expectations were too high? I got the Alambre so I could try all their different meats. Overall pretty good, but a bit salty. The steak was at least tender and not chewy, which is something I always test at restaurants. Chicken was also tender. We also got fried chimichungas but the order was wrong as they were not fried. The price feels a bit high for the quality of food. Quantity is good, pretty fulfilling. I will give them another try as I know they are new, and update my review if anything changes. read more

Tested out a few margs & some dessert! 1. the house marg. It was delicious and a quality Margarita! Definitely my favorite out of the three I tried! 2. The strawberry marg. It was super good- a little but sweet for me but if you LOVE sweet drinks this is for you! 3. The Texas marg. If you do not like ANY sweetness get this marg. It has grand marnier in it. Super good & strong! 4. The desserts were yummy & came out very fast! As always our service was great, our waitress was very sweet! read more

Can't understand the lower reviews. We have gotten take out from this place twice now and absolutely loved it. My husband always gets the quesadilla tacos. I have tried the enchiladas and the fish tacos. They were all great. I love the beans there as well (charro and black). The best testament is that my toddler loves the mahi mahi and the black beans as well. The guac is also amazing! read more

Pleasantly surprised! Probably the best Mexican restaurant in the Gainesville and Haymarket Area. Very nice decor inside and bathrooms. Everything was very clean. They have an outdoor seating by area with plenty of seating. Booths are larger and can accommodate larger crowds. The food was great and drinks were even better! I had a skinny Margarita and it tasted just like a fresh drink in Mexico. I was very impressed and will be returning soon! I highly recommend trying this location. read more

Did NOT disappoint! Enjoyed a tasty meal at La Finca this weekend. Staff was friendly and attentive. Most important, the food was delish. Salsa was smooth--just a hint of heat and not too much cilantro. Beef and chicken flautas offered a great crunch and tender meat filling. Chile relleno, filled with melty cheesy goodness, was a hit! The skinny margarita was as you'd expect--good, but not quite the punch of a regular margarita. The mango-habanero shrimp was a beautiful presentation and the sauce packed a great, sweet kick--minus a star for shrimp being really over cooked (easy fix for the kitchen, though). Sounds like the new management team is off to a promising start and we can't wait to visit again! read more

For being open only 5 days, this place rocks! The decor is awesome and welcoming. The service and staff were very friendly and attentive. As we understand that the food is always better when you dine in vs delivery/take out, especially for a brand new location, we decided to dine in. The queso and chorizo were outstanding! The Cheese Steak burrito was hot and delicious! I may go get another one after this review! Most people know that with a new opening, there may be some bumps along the way. I did not experience any. If there were, I always give a place at least 3-4 tries. Didn't have to with this place. They hit it out the park! ***Disclaimer*** I am not, nor have I ever been an employee of this restaurant. I just loved the food and experience! I will be back. read more

La Finca Mexican Restaurant - Skinny Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Gainesville, Virginia

I was so hopeful that this area would finally have a good Mexican restaurant but alas... This place is not that. Not even close either, sadly. I am giving this place one star because every facet of my meal wasn't enjoyable in the slightest. So I will break it down below. Caveat - we ordered online for pickup so that is what the review is based on. Picking up the food - was a bit of a wait, about double the time they originally said which was frustrating. I get they are brand new so I'd expect them to be busy but they seemed pretty unorganized and even more frustrating was that they got our order wrong. It's fine if it takes longer but at least make sure the order is correct. As for the food - the most important part of it all, simply put, was not very good. We all had a little bit of everything, the enchiladas, the tacos, the burritos, and every one was either bland and generic tasting or overly salty tasting. The burrito was basically an enchilada because it was packaged in the same container so it was smothered in the sauce and the filling was exactly the same... Just ground beef, same as the enchilada. I've never had a burrito with just ground beef inside and it wasn't even flavorful. The pricing - is pretty steep for what you get, per the quality of food I'd expect the pricing to be half of what it is now. I wish I had something positive to say about this place but I don't and I really don't recommend it as any other option in the area would be a better choice, in my opinion...that includes Taco Bell. Suffice to say we won't be back and will still be waiting for a good Mexican restaurant to come to the area. read more
