They have awesome kids meals options and just about anything you would crave or want food-wise. I think you can tell a lot about a place based on how good the chips and salsa are, and their chips were amazing and they had a whole salsa bar so you could really get a great dipping variety. I got a fajitas burrito lunch special and it was so tasty. My husband got tacos Al pastor and pupusas and was very happy too. Next time I'm in the area I definitely plan to come back!

As soon as we got in there were screaming children and loud music. After we were seated our waiter came up and took our order without writing it down. I assumed he was good at his job. He got my order wrong I think and plus was very cold and dismissive which is not what I expected. I asked for a burrito number 10 on the menu and it looked more like an enchilada than a burrito. I also noticed when it got to the table that it looked great but the sauce on the "burrito" was pizza sauce. It tasted exactly like pizza sauce. My dad said his food was ok. The refried beans tasted like they were burnt and nothing like what refried beans should taste like. I love Mexican food whether authentic or not. Also this food made me sick to my stomach and when traveling that is not the best thing to happen. What was great about this place was the tamales it was amazing. Super flavorful and delicious. I would say the Italian restaurant next door may be a better option.

I also like the amount of booths here and the amazing service!

Authentic, fresh, flavorful! Great, friendly service and nice size portions. I typically visit the food truck on Staples Mill, though they have several brick and mortar locations around RVA My favorites are al Pastor- sopes, gorditos and tacos The sopes and goritos are crispy on the outside, yet soft on the inside. Al pastor (pork) is tender, moist and flavorfil. This is a permenant food truck location with some outside seating. Located next to BP gas station.

I'll tell you my favorite way to have it - order some fresh guacamole (also well seasoned) and they give you unlimited chips. Take a chip, add guac then add some fish & red onions - pop it in your mouth!! YUMM! The rest of our table got the steak and chicken fajitas, grilled tilapia, and a cheeseburger - everyone enjoyed their meal but GET THE CEVICHE! Our waiter was friendly, parking was easy and right outside. Looks like there are plenty of games/pool tables/tv's for when it's time for games or drinks at night. Lots of music vibin (medium to loud noise). It is part sports bar so expect the noise to be louder during peak times and game time. We came around 3pm so it wasn't busy at all. I would definitely stop by again in my way back to Williamsburg.

All the tacos were plentiful and flavorful but my favorite was the carnitas (Mimi favored the chicken but agreed the carnitas was it) and the corn tortillas were so fresh and warm. The rice and beans also very authentic and flavorful and the rice was fluffy too, both were excellent!
