Went here with a large group for Cinco de Mayo, and it was an excellent experience. I got the pollo en mole negro, and it was absolutely delicious. I'd return just for that! The drinks were excellent, too...everyone enjoyed the margaritas. Superb service: I never saw the bottom of my water glass, even though we were a large group. They kept the chips and salsa topped up. I'll definitely be back! read more

I do love me some Mancha. 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Food 4.8/5 Beverage 4/5 Service 4/5 Parking & Wait time Drinks: 4.8/5 Carajillo & Margarita Fresca were yummy. The Horchata could use more depth. The NA Fresca is flavorful & fresh. Starter: 5/5 The Salsa is chef's kiss. Pricey, one small serving for the table, $4.00 per serving after. Burrazo: 4/5 Big boy food, lots going on, not as flavorful as I would like but delicious. Ench Mole: No rating because I cannot compare to other references or understanding of what to expect - it was a 3/5 for my personal flavor interest. Tacos: 4/5 Al Pastor 3/5 Birria (lacked flavor) 5/5 Octopus, soft and flavorful. A little inconsistent in cut, I prefer the larger chunks. 4/5 Lengua Sides: 3/5 Beans, girlfriend's do rate these higher than I. 4/5 Rice Churros: 1/5 Greasy, that's all I taste. The caramel sauce is very salty and almost burnt tasting. Chocolate sauce is standard but taste like Hershey's chocolate syrup. read more

Beautiful restaurant, great food! Parking is cozy, but abundant. If you're driving something nice, park a little further as you'll be just fine. Customer service is average, nothing that stood out about my experience. Friendly, timely, and swift. Food was great! Free chips & salsa as a courtesy $4 for anything after; extremely fair in my opinion. I had Tacos, Carne Asada & Pollo. Great choices, they have a huge menu so definitely worth trying out their options. Prices are fair for the presentation that they give and the quality of food, no complaints. Restaurant is elegant, my only complaint is that it's freezing! Maybe I came on a day where heating was off, but I had to keep my jacket on the entire time. All in all I would try this restaurant again. read more

This is really great authentic Mexican food! Service was great, they were fast, attentive and the food was fantastic.

Tucked away in an unassuming shopping center but very worth checking out. The restaurant is very open and nicely decorated. Would be a great date place or for a group gathering. Service was prompt and friendly. Our server was able to accommodate our requests without hesitation. Food was delicious and the portions are very generous. We got the burrito and it was huge! They definitely didn't skimp on the protein there. The Mancha ribeye was delicious as well. The poblano potatoes were very good - thinly sliced potatoes with a poblano cream sauce. Delicious. Don't sleep on the dessert either - the flan was definitely the perfect finishing touch. Will definitely add to our rotation! read more

Absolutely incredible! Wow--I'm blown away by the flavors and quality of the food at Mancha!

A solid 10 out of 10--a must-try for anyone who loves amazing Mexican food! read more

Mancha Cocina is a Mexican restaurant near the Leesburg Outlet Mall. We went on a Wednesday for my mom's birthday dinner. There's plenty of free and easy parking in the lot in front of the location. The service was a bit slow for how empty the restaurant was. We waited quite a bit for our water and for someone to bring out chips + salsa. Our food came out relatively quickly compared to how long it took to order. The menu is pretty standard for Mexican food, but the prices were a little bit too high for the portion size and flavor. The fajitas, esquites, and chicken quesadilla all needed more seasoning, they were a bit bland. The ambiance was nice though. It was good for small groups and casual to nice dinner with family. They didn't, however, offer anything special for birthdays. read more

First of all, I loved that this restaurant was very spacious and the aesthetic was very nice. Our waitress was attentive and very helpful when we asked questions about the menu. The complimentary Chips + Salsa was very good, the salsa had so much flavor to it. Be mindful though, that they charge extra if you request for more. The Burrazo was a great deal in my opinion, as the quantity of steak, chicken, and shrimp was a lot! The food was very flavorful and delicious, and I would definitely come back here again. read more

Placed an order for pick up today on my way to work. I opted for a couple of tacos and queso.

Thanks to a local social media group we realized this wasn't a fast casual spot which we assumed by its location and signage. So we went and had lunch today. I was pleasantly surprised we were given a lunch menu option at 2pm on a Sunday. Ambiance is great with plenty of booths and free standing tables and a small bar with a handful of chairs too. When we walked in there was a host and what appeared to be a manager working on some paperwork at the host stand. The manager never even bothered to look up from what he was doing or acknowledge us which I thought was odd. The hostess did greet us after a few minutes and got us seated quickly. I was happy to see it was pretty busy for a Sunday late afternoon. Our server was pleasant and took our drink orders quickly. I love they have glass bottled coke. Chips and salsa were brought to the table and we really liked the salsa. There was 3 of us so we asked for some more and our server told us it would be extra so we passed. She did bring us some hot sauces we weren't charged for which were delicious. I had the Mole enchiladas which were incredible. The mole sauce was so good, I'll definitely be back again. It was served with rice which I really liked. Others at the table got the mango salmon which was also served with rice and roasted vegetables (multi colored carrots which were great) and the Birria torta. The Birria torta could have used consume for dipping, but still had good flavor. The torta was on lunch menu and came with chips which were good, but we'd love to try fries next time. Overall, great food and atmosphere and our server was attentive. We will definitely be adding this to our rotation. read more

Found this spot when I was in the area for some holiday shopping. I ordered the Burrazo - It is filled with 3 types of meat - steak, chicken and shrimp along with rice beans etc. I was very skeptical to try but was feeling adventurous. I am glad I did. The flavors and texture worked so well together. Very nice dish. The Tres Leches was okay. The complimentary chips were warm and nice. Will be back to try other items in the menu. read more

Just went here for the first time recently, and the food was absolutely wonderful. Had the steak fajitas and the flavor was outstanding. Also had a shrimp dish cooked in a lemon garlic sauce, but it didn't quite hit. That's OK because it was still good and the happy hour guacamole for $6 made be very happy. That and the $4 dollar Victoria beers. This salsa was good, but not my taste. It was more like a chipotle salsa than a normal hot salsa. Thoroughly enjoyed the Leche just desert too. Service was good enough and we did not go thirsty. This place in Parando's are now our two favorite Mexican restaurants in Loudoun County. Whereas Parando's is better for adults as it is more of a bar/restaurant, Mancha is definitely more family and young kid friendly. read more

Could have sworn I already reviewed as I've been here at least 5 times. This is now one of my go-to spots. Sure I'm leaving out some of the dishes I've had, but they've all been terrific: birria taco, barrio quesadilla, pollo relleno, fajitas, churros! The chips and salsa are good and they keep them filled. Most recently stopped in on Margarita Monday - and my $8 mango margarita was delish. Service is very attentive and the restaurant is warm and inviting. Don't let their awful location at the very end of a mall deter you from checking it out! read more

I came in once after playing tennis for a couple of hours, so I was starving. I sat at the bar and was served shortly after. The restaurant is very clean with several booths and tables and chairs. The bar can also seat a handful of guests, if you wish to sit at the bar, which is where I chose to sit. The decor is very modern and welcoming. They also keep a fairly clean dining area; the bathroom is also really clean. I was served my drink and complementary chips and salsa in a timely manner. The waiter also took my order quickly. I had the chicken fajitas from the lunch menu with a coke. The fajitas came with sour cream, pico de gallo, guac, mexican rice and refried beans along with 2 or 3 tortillas. The chicken fajitas were absolutely delicious. I actually was able to finish the whole dish, when I usually have some left over. The staff are friendly and patient. I was greeted immediately as I walked through the door. Service is quick and solid: my waiter checked in on me at the right and made sure my drink was refilled and that I didn't need anything else. I would definitely come back again. read more

Good overall. Stopped in for lunch. Portions were small but it was lunch portions so that may be why. Service was fast and friendly. We tried the steak fajitas and steak burrito. They were pretty good. Salsa was a little Smokey flavored so not my favorite but it was fresh and otherwise good. read more

Awesome real Mexican cuisine in an area where it is definitely needed. My family and I find it hard sometimes to find a good spot to pick for dinner in the area and this is now one we can happily settle on! Mancha was packed the night we went with almost every table having customers. The hostess was friendly and quick to seat us despite the crowd. We ordered the queso with chorizo to start. You also only get one complimentary chip basket with salsa and you have to pay after that so be mindful! The queso was delicious and came with three tortillas, but we wish we had gotten an extra one since there were 4 people and 3 isn't really enough for the serving size they give you. Two people ordered enchiladas and the rest of us got tacos. Overall everything tasted great and fresh, the only downside is that it can be pricey. When you get three tacos your looking at $15 plus, not including a side. our service was friendly but a little slow, which is to be expected with the crowd but an extra waitress could help as it felt like ours was taking a lot of tables. Overall this is a great place to eat with delicious food, and friendly service, but just be mindful it's a little bit more expensive and it's different than other Mexican restraints in the area that have included sides and "endless" chips and salsa. read more

So ambiance was nice to enjoy while waiting for my torta. When my torta arrived it looked ok but when I went to my car and looked inside I was in distress because of how small this torta was. I couldn't believe my eyes so I'm like hmm maybe the flavor is going to make up for the size. It's not the size that matters after all. In conclusion it wasn't the size that mattered it was the fact that they had the audacity to sell an $18 "ingredients filled 2 piece of soggy bread" I am so sorry about this terrible review so better with your tortas for the tortas. :) read more

First trip, we will definitely be back. Chips and salsa were just the right amount for 2 people. Taste of salsa was good, not very spicy. My wife got the chicken fajita and she loved it. Commented several times about the flavor. I got the burrazo, large burrito with chicken, steak and shrimp. It was amazing! read more

We were so sad to hear that our closest Mexican restaurant shut down suddenly BUT thanks to yelpers, we discovered this new place. Located in the Hobby Lobby strip mall, this high end Mexican restaurant delivered some amazing food. The price point is high but the quality is worth the money. First batch of chips and salsa is complimentary. We also ordered the BEST fresh made guac. The onions and cilantro really burst in flavor making this guac one of the tastiest I've had in the area. They gave us another complimentary batch of chips. I splurged and ordered the $25 steak fajitas. It came with small sides of rice, beans and fresh pico. The rice and beans were cooked perfectly. The portion was generous and I asked to skip the bell peppers and give extra onions. The cocktails are pricey and small but we wanted to try them. Margaritas can be made on the rocks or frozen. Service was great. The place opened during the first week of May. Staff was very responsive. The ambiance speaks of modern high end decor. Private booths and off to the side is a small bar. No happy hours yet but they said they were working on some specials. read more

Good quality food and excellent service make this a true 4 star review. It's true everything is expensive. Restaurants and grocery store have to keep up with the growing prices. This new addition to the neighborhood is no exception. A dinner for 2 with one cocktail a piece took us over the $100 mark. Albeit, the steak was delicious and the chef knew how to complement that skirt steak with the roasted jalapeño and onions. The chips were fresh and the salsa was just average. The appetizer of guacamole was excellent. The flavor was so bold without being too spicy. A house margarita at $12 was tasty but the portion was a bit tiny. Service was excellent. Our server made sure we had everything we needed. She constantly filled our water glasses and chip bowl. The ambiance was a modern Tex Mex feel. We recommended the new restaurant to our community group. A few of our neighbors had gone the next day to check out the lunch menu. They told us they enjoyed it. read more

With few Mexican restaurants closing in our area, we were happy to discover this new place. They only opened a month ago but our experience was perfect for such a new place. A few reviewers complain about the high prices. We beg to differ. The prices here are in line with equivalent restaurants in our area. It is a step above the average, overly cluttered decor of the typical Mexican restaurant. Instead they invested in a clean modern sleek design consisting of tile, marble and wood with comfortable seats and some tasteful decorations and plants. We started with the Margarita Fresca and the Mancha, both were made from scratch and very delicious and made us very happy. We had 2 main courses: Carne Asada and the Grilled octopus. The Carne Asada was prepared medium and came with the traditional fajita sides. The meat was tender and flavorful. The grilled octopus was one of the best we have had- 3 large tentacles grilled with salad, a potato, poblano and cheese side, grilled lemon and 2 hot sauces. Our server Adrian was very friendly, and helped us navigate some of the menu and drink items. We were happy to have him as our server. Overall, we were very impressed with Mancha. Service was great, the menu consists of some typical staples of a Mexican restaurant, but also some other choices that you don't normally see- this makes us wanting to come back again! read more

Great, fun service for starters...but the food, ooooh the food. Everything is so fresh and the salsa is unique and full of flavor. This is definitely several ticks up from your average Mexican restaurant. I'd call it relaxed but still elevated dining. This set the standard for any Mexican restaurant I will visit from now on. I have ordered the fajitas several times and leave not a scrap. Serving size is more than adequate but I always look forward to my next visit while walking out the door. read more

I've been about six times now, and the food is consistently wonderful. From tacos and fajitas to carnitas and birria tacos, this is (IMO) the best Mexican restaurant in the region. The bar is also top-notch, with an assortment of margaritas and draft beers. The location has a fresh, clean design, and the servers are always helpful. read more

While running some errands I saw this place and what a delightful surprise it was. I sat at the bar and had a skillet margarita and guacamole. The service at the bar was great. The ambiance was fantastic. The place has a bit of an upscale feel, but do t worry, you can dress comfortably. I had the octopus tacos ($6 each) and my wife had the mango salmon ($22). I got the Burrazo ($22) for my son and it was huge and delicious. If you're in Leesburg, VA, come try this place out! read more

Was pleasantly surprised by this authentic Mexican restaurant, and I highly recommend it. My wife and I found Mancha on Yelp, of course, and decided to give it a try. Upon arrival we were given a 4 top booth. Was impressed with both bar and food menus, Started with 2 spicy margaritas - garnished with several jalapeno slices. Really good, spicy, but a bit too sweet for me. Also ordered chips, salsa and guacamole as a starter. Excellent salsa, not the standard version that looks like from a Pace jar, and tasty. The guac was garnished with onion, tomato and jalapeno for a spicy blend with a kick. I ordered the Carne Asada, and the wife ordered the shrimp fajitas. Imagine the smile on my face when a well marinated, medium rare steak showed up on my plate. Not a1 inch thick steak, but more 1/2 inch thick, and damn, delicious! The wife's fajitas were plentiful with shrimp, and fairly decent size shrimp at that! Vegetables included green and red peppers onions and a jalapeno. Both entrees came with refried beans, and they also hit the mark. I had shifted from that margarita to a Modelo negro with a lime in it (that's the way I like it), and the wife got a skinny margarita ($6 for the beer, and $12 for the margarita). Excellent compliments! Pleasantly full and happy at the end of the meal, and didn't have to go running off to find the Tums! This place is of winner! read more
