I had never been to Costa Azul before. I came in while my kid was finishing up a birthday party…read morearound the corner. All I wanted was a Coke, chips and salsa, and queso. I had no idea that they offered a small bowl of complementary ceviche, which is actually really good. Like, so good, that I'm going to have to go back just to get that. The queso was also good. It was the standard white queso that I commonly associate with the Midwest because for the longest I couldn't get it on the East Coast, but it's not queso fundido. They offer Coke from a fountain, which is a huge plus. And the salsa was really good. The chips and salsa were free, so they absolutely get bonus points for that. It was a random Saturday evening when I came in, and they were setting up for what looked like live music and a fun night. The service was really good and parking was easy since it's in a plaza. I would highly recommend this place. They were fast and super sweet.

We went to Costa Azul for dinner recently as we were looking for a new place to try in the area…read more The restaurant was packed when we arrived, but we were seated right away. While looking at the menu, we were served the complimentary chips and salsa which was good. For entrees, we had Filete ala Crema, al Gusto Soup, and Tacos (I forgot which one specifically). The serving sizes were humongous! The Filete ala Crema could probably we shared by 2-3 people. I could say the same for the soup and the tacos. We could say that the seafood was fresh - no funny smells and the food was prepared well. The prices were reasonable. We would love to go back for when we are craving for seafood.

Finally made it my way to Taco Chinoz and oh boy I was impressed…read more.. I have seen some people raving about Taco Chinoz and I happened to be next to one in Manassas. I ordered the steak tacos and chicken birria burrito. The tacos were absolutely out of the world. A LOT of flavor and a lot of love. The burrito however lacked flavor for me and felt a little dry. The restaurant in itself is cute with the live ramen bar and some good art. The service is quick! I would give this a 4.1/5

You can order from sef We got a Carne Asada Burrito, Sweet Soy Ribeye Taco, Carne Asada Taco, Crispy Shrimp Taco, and Guacamole with Chips. Portions were huge.

They have a bunch of other options like Birria Ramen, Loaded Fries, and Nachos too as well as a ramen wall. I'll be returning next time I'm driving through Manassas.

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. I was just super disappointed with the tacos... +changed recipe?! +friendly staff +plenty of parking in plaza lot

MANASSAS, Va. - Those are some well-stuffed tacos. Me and…read morethe missus lunched here on a Monday midday. Tons of seating inside and rooftop; we sat rooftop. Place appeared clean and not crazy loud. Staff (Amber) was pleasant and professional. Me and her each got three tacos apiece - her the vegan asada ($6), Brussels sprout ($6) and falafel tacos ($6). The falafel had a nice crunch, and the carne asada was very meat-like and tasty. The jerk chicken taco ($5.50) had a surprisingly slick kick, more than the honey habanero shrimp ($8). The chicken al pastor ($5) was perfectly decent. All 6 were well-stuffed - almost a sandwich worth in each. I was especially hungry going in and contemplated getting an appetizer; glad I didn't. This is a nice joint, and well worth seeking out if in the Manassas area.

Excellent salsa. Produce is fresh. Interesting combos. We keep coming back! Previous review: My first time dining out since the pandemic; sat outside; felt very safe and comfortable. Menu is available online so you do not have to handle physical menus. Tables are spaced. Staff is so friendly and helpful. They will make adjustments to anything. They are all so attentive. Great drinks menu. Full bar. The food is excellent, super fresh and well-seasoned. I loved the tortilla soup: it was flavorful and perfectly spiced with loads of shredded chicken and fresh avocado. The house salsa is divine. I would eat it on everything. The pickled onions garnishing our dishes were so good. Their pico de gallo is very fresh and perfectly spicy. The produce used is all they fresh and ripe. Server was excellent--never wrote anything down but got everything right, even with loads of special requests. He was so attentive with everything like drinks and chips and napkins. The staff is so hospitable. They make you feel like you are wanted and welcomed.

This little, quiet Mexican place is a new favorite! I'll be a regular here for sure!…read more Stopped in here one evening after a vigil at the Manassas Park PD, and enjoyed it so much I started coming here regularly. It is a little on the stereotypical side with the decor, though the bar area stools, which are shaped like saddles, made me smile. Ignore the decor though, in favor of the food, which is affordable, made to order, and EXCELLENT! I've had the carne asada quesadilla a couple of times and the garlic shrimp twice. Portions are incredible! And the food is tasty, well spiced, and served with fresh veg and sour cream. They're a little light on the cheese, so don't be afraid to request more. The servers are fantastic and friendly! No lunch specials, but at their prices, you can get a full meal and take some home for dinner, and still save some money. No fuss, no frills, just great food at a reasonable price!
