With the a slightly-marinated, thin chicken breast in a very tasty cheesy sauce. To add to the flavor are onions, peppers, shrimp, chorizo ingredients. When I include the sliced avocados on top, lettuce and pico de gallo, the whole dish is very flavorful and enjoyable. Yay! I then indulged in some gelato, which is home-made. The blueberry vinegar flavor was an excellent combination of sweet, tart and tangy tastes. Very good!

To me the salsa was too spicy, I needed sour cream and water LOL I got Monterry burrito and it was mostly filled with rice. Still tasted good but expensive... Probably won't come back often, not a staple...still good and clean.

Unfortunately, despite excellent and quick service, this may be the worst Mexican food I've ever…read morehad. To start, I must say the restaurant is nicely decorated, clean and spacious. The staff are very friendly and orders and requests are handled quickly. Nothing slow about this location! The food, however, is pretty terrible. We ordered a Guadalajara Special, Fajitas Texanas (no onion) and the kids chicken tenders and fries. Nothing was seasoned, and I mean nothing. No salt (even the fries!), no spice, no flavor. The sauce on the Guadalajara Special was pretty offensive and the piles of bland, plain chicken breast and plain, bland ground beef were glaringly absent of any taste of Mexican cuisine. The tamale was serviceable once you dug it out from under everything else, but the steak taquito might have been the only thing on the plate we enjoyed. The fajitas were pretty sparse and barely constituted a good serving - more like lunch size than dinner. Rice and beans were both similarly flavorless and the rice was terribly dry. The chips, tortillas and taquito shells all tasted like deep fried paper - again, no flavor. The ONLY thing on the table with a noticeable taste to it was the complimentary salsa, and then it was actually too spicy! I've been to other Mexico Restaurant locations and have enjoyed the food. I don't know what's going on in the kitchen in Mechanicsville, but we will never be back and I cannot recommend this location to anyone with taste buds.

Have seen this restaurant in passing many times and we decided to give it a try. We were seated and…read moreplaced our order fast. The food arrived in a short amount of time and it smelled great.

We aren't super familiar…read morewith the area, so we were excited to find not only a good Mexican option, but one open late enough we could make it to it after sitting in traffic for a few hours haha Easy surface parking right by the door; deceptively large place with lots of seating options. An even larger menu! I wish we had reasons to be passing by more often, I want to eat my way around the menu haha The few times we've been I haven't been able to pass up getting the Chicken Chimichangas. Similarly, my sister always gets the Chorizo Quesadilla. So that's what I can personally speak to, but would assume that most dishes are equally well made and satisfying :) Service is friendly and at least quick when we've been there. A highlight of our trips whenever we are passing by and looking forward to the next time!

AMBIANCE: We came here during our break for our leadership…read moreconference that we had and it was actually a cool spot. It was spacious, a lot of booth seating area, it accommodated about 30 to 40 people nicely, so we were thankful for that. There is a ton of natural lighting, coming in from the windows, so that was really positive. SERVICE: Service was good, everyone was very nice, I do think that they were overwhelmed, and not usually used to having that many people to service in the middle of the day. At least that was my impression, but overall the service was good. FOOD: I really don't like to give bad reviews, and granted Mexican food is not my top choice but that's what the group wanted. Especially Tex-Mex food, this is not authentic Mexican food at all. So I just wanted some small things to bite on. I wanted appetizers. So I asked for the guacamole salad. You could literally taste that the guacamole that was served was out of a bag. They gave me lettuce, that could have been out of a bag as well, basically looked like rabbit food. It was not appetizing. I was like OK, well maybe they'll dessert will be good. My friend ordered the fried ice cream. How could that not be good? Well it wasn't. The fried tortilla was good, but the ice cream really did not taste good, and I think that's hard to do when it was simply just vanilla. The chocolate sauce, now that I'm thinking about it could have been old. And maybe that's why I didn't taste good? Really it was such a simple dessert, but it was not appetizing at all. The best thing there was the chips and salsa, which was of course unlimited.

I definitely recommend this place for a comfort food night.

I usually always get al pastor tacos, but I decided to try the chori burrito this time. I couldn't believe how big the burrito came out, it was amazing! It was filled with so much meat with chori on top just balanced everything so well! The green hot sauce is pretty spicy! It had me huffing and puffing. I also like the amount of booths here and the amazing service!

Why I left a 1 star review... Please read…read more.... This was definitely a five star experience all the way around. I left the one star review so that it might come to the attention of upper management. It will not deter us from returning again. People aren't born a happy server. However, with training, they become awesome personality for the restaurant. Our server was not a people person . No hello or welcome to the restaurant. They did not revisit our table to check our drinks, however, another server stepped in and refreshed our drinks. Our original server never stopped by to see if we needed anything or wanted anything else.. The quality of service is a staple to the survival of a business that serves the public . The decorations, were identical to the other ones that were in the area. Awesome. I ordered the beef and chicken nachos appetizer. It comes loaded with meat and cheese. More than any other entrée in the dinner menu selection. . So much so it's too much food for one sitting.

Cool kinda out of the way location - believe this might qualify as a 'hidden gem' ;) Not a fancy place, but had some great Mexican food! It's was about 2:30 but I was still able to order from the lunch menu, so I sampled the Taco/Burrito/Rice special - not bad at all! Everything tasted fresh & they also had great chips/salsa. Service was great as well. I believe this was a spot-on choice based on the experiences of previous Yelp trailblazers - I'd definitely return if I find myself driving down Hanover Courthouse Rd...heck I'd even jump off 95 at Exit 92 & drive the 5 miles over to to get there!

Plenty of parking around back, it may be tricky driving into the location but we met right at 5:30. My friend got there before me and got us on the waitlist. Luckily, it wasn't that crowded yet and were seated pretty quickly. We decided to start out on their house margarita...my stupid self went ahead and answered the server "the largest one you have!" They were NOT kidding - this cut was gigantic! I told my friend that we will be getting one to share between the both of us. I made it a personal goal to finish at least half of it before leaving... I decided on their chef's special, carne steak (it was all the meat lol: steak, chorizo, with rice and beans). OMG, it was amazing with so much left over! (Spoiler - it taste amazing cold too! haha). I don't remember the dessert that we got but it was seriously like a big pancake churro with a scoop of ice cream. The place is clean and our server was great! He was on top of everything, let us do our thing and checked us on at the right time. I'm already excited for the next girl's catch up date already.

This was a waste of a meal. I love Mexican food but this is not the place to go. There are fees for…read morealmost anything you get one refill on drink and 1.00 for another. I ordered simple dish taco and enchiladas, however the rice was overcooked with no flavor. The enchiladas was covered in sauce that looked like mole sauce not enchilada sauce. The taco wasn't bad , just not appetizing. The ambiance of the place give old Italian restaurant with flair and splash of Hispanic banners. Just go to Mi Jalisco food there is way better. Servers were friendly and nice.
