    I was in the area, it was getting later in the day and I needed a place to stop and feed the family. I saw the ratings and thought "can't be that bad, let's check it out". I was surprised, wonderfully! Our waiter (Ruben) was friendly, attentive, and everything you could reasonably ask for. You absolutely need him if you go there! The place was very clean, and the menu is exactly what you would expect. Food arrived hot and cooked very well (Yes!). It was absolutely delicious all around. Family from adults to children were very happy with portion sizes and flavor (soo good!). I will be definitely stopping here again in the future. I'm always impressed when a place knocks it out of the park on the first go.

    Visited Mexicali Cantina today and was not disappointed. The bartender Jason mixed me the best tasting cucumber margarita I've ever had. Just stopped for drinks this trip but will be back to try the food on our next visit.

    Beef burrito

    We were there on a Friday afternoon early. There was only one person working the floor the busing the bar, the waitressing he was doing the best he could. The food was less than to be desired, even though it had four star reviews. I was very disappointed. They were very accommodating sent over a complementary entrée. That was a little bit better than what we had ordered, but all in all I would not recommend this.

    If you like Mexican food, this place is outstanding and atmospheres fabulous. The food came out hard and fresh. The staff was extremely polite and courteous. The level of professionalism definitely sets the bar for other restaurants nearby.

    We'll start with the chips. They were the bomb diggity. Thin, crispy, fresh & salty. The salsa was homemade & tasty. I got the X hot & it was good as well. Orders were beef tacos, shrimp tacos, ceviche, & chicken burrito. It wasn't really busy and the service was on the slower side. With margaritas, chips & good company we didn't care. The shrimp was a little dry/tough. Everyone likes their meal.

It was very flavorful with the citrus notes. I substituted the plantains for yucca, I'm a sucker for yucca. This meal was quite large and gave me plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day. The drink menu is extensive and they also offer mocktails. I included the bill which shows our 3 dinners, 2 drinks and an app. Extreme fair pricing for our current day.

Our server was attentive throughout the meal, and other staff members also checked in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. We started with the Fried Yuca with mojo sauce, which was cooked very well - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The accompanying dipping sauce wasn't really to our taste, as it appeared to be oil-based, but that's more of a personal preference than a criticism of the dish itself. For our entrée, we ordered the Seafood Paella with tostones for two. The quality of the seafood was good, and the dish was flavorful overall. My only criticism is that the paella seemed a bit heavy on the rice compared to the amount of seafood and protein. There was certainly plenty of food to share, but I would have preferred a slightly better balance between the rice and seafood. The atmosphere was also enjoyable. We visited around 5 PM and were seated in the front corner of the restaurant by the windows. The ambiance was relaxed and comfortable, while still feeling lively enough to create a nice dining experience. Background Latin music played throughout our meal, which complemented the restaurant's vibe without being overwhelming. Overall, we had a positive experience thanks to the quality of the food, attentive service, and pleasant atmosphere. I'd be happy to return and try more of the menu in the future.

We were lucky enough to…read moresit out on the patio, enjoy some great weather, and have an outstanding dining experience from start to finish. Our server, Maria, absolutely made the night. She was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and struck that perfect balance of checking in without hovering. Great service can elevate a meal, and Maria did exactly that. The food was excellent. The paella was delicious, the patatas bravas were flavorful, and both the pork belly and bacon-wrapped dates were standouts. The sangria was also fantastic and paired perfectly with the meal. Now, I've had Spanish food in places where it's a little more authentic and refined, so this wasn't necessarily the best Spanish food I've ever had. But considering we're in Virginia, Barcelona absolutely exceeded expectations. The quality of the food, the atmosphere, the patio setting, and especially the exceptional service combined to create a five-star experience. If you're in Reston and looking for a memorable dinner, Barcelona should be at the top of your list. Ask for Maria if you can she is fantastic.

Fried perfectly & the filling was so tasty, pork ribs was my absolutel favorite with a rich Smokey taste! These were super tender as well. Large Tapas:I got the seafood paella which reminded me a lot of Spain. Seasoned well & a wide variety of seafood with shrimp, clams, mussel, and octopus. This was super filling. Service was incredible & super friendly! Recommend an online reservation as this location does get packed during weekend dinner.

If you lands you at the train tracks, yes that tiny road leads to La Cuchara. Prompt greeting by the host and very attentive service throughout our dining experience. I enjoyed all appetizers (Pintxos) but my absolute favorite was the beef empanada, it was so full of flavor. The tapas potatoes and salad were very tasty too. I had the rainbow trout for entree, for which the cuts were coming up short so they asked if shrimp was ok to add. I enjoyed the flavor of the shrimp, but I think the fish lacked seasoning- it was the only plate I didn't enjoy. Had the Aim to spark cocktail, a very well balanced drink! I'd visit again!

We both got a glass of wine and ordered two small plates to share. After quite a while of waiting for our food, the bartender checked to ask what we had ordered. He had forgotten to put our order through and to apologize, gave us a bit more wine to compensate which was super appreciated. Our dishes came out quickly once they were placed. We had gotten the Beef Empanadas and Dumpling Squash Beignets. The beignets weren't what we were expecting but were delicious. They were fried balls with squash cooked inside - very tasty. The empanadas were just as good with plenty of beef and a great aioli. All around, an amazing first experience here. The ambience was lively and service was great. Food and drink specials were just as amazing. We will definitely be back!
