    "Queso"

    The host/server was not very nice and on her phone almost the entire time. Tables and chairs had food and drinks spilled on them. My granddads enchiladas came out with a cold center. The "queso" is better compared to Tostitos cheese

    I arrived at the restaurant around 12 PM on a Tuesday. The tables were mostly full, but the patio was empty and the turnover at tables seemed fast. I waited in line to place my order and it took a bit for one family to order but after a few minutes I was in front. Their menu didn't explicitly seem to have the birria tacos listed but I had seen that they were available every Tuesday on their website and they had an article printed about the birria tacos so I asked. The cashier let me know they serve birria tacos everyday! So I placed my order for two tacos and a tres leches. I grabbed water and sat down, expecting that they'd call out my name, but they actually serve your meals directly to you which was very nice! Someone also came around to bring the hot sauce rack to my table which was very nice, as I was interested in trying these. Everything was delicious. I loved the birria tacos, and the spicy hot sauce added a nice touch without being overwhelmingly spicy. The tres leches cake was brought to me at the end of my meal, and it was sweet and moist! Definitely a place to stop by if you're in the area!

    Consistently delicious! Interior is comfortable with ample parking accommodation. Their menu is very extensive for the quality of tacos provided here. I've been here in the morning to late evening, and have yet to experience poor quality of service.

    very delicious and affordable tacos. I got the steak and beef barbacoa tacos and they were fantastic. It was flavorful and balanced - each taco came with a radish which was refreshing to have on a taco. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Outdoor seating is available, which is great for when the weather gets cool.

    The service was fast. Ordered three steak tacos. I would say they were average. For the cost of 12.90. It was a little expensive for what you get. No real ambiance. Just a few tables.

    Three Tacos - 2 fish and a chicken tinga

    The best place to get tacos in the area, in my opinion. They are always so fresh and can never go wrong with any taco. All of them are yummy. The toppings are perfect. The taco size is very good. In always prefer the corn taco over the flour ones. There is a nice bite to it. My favorite are fish and chicken tinga. This time I also tried the tres leches. I was so pleasantly surprised. It was one of the best I had in a long time. Not too soggy or overly sweet. This is my goto place for tacos. N I always recommend it to friends. Finally I remembered to take pictures and got a chance to do a review here. :)

    Came here for lunch and the tacos were so good. Fresh cilantro and onions added a nice touch. The salsa they give on the side had a great kick to it. Staff was friendly and the food came out quickly. Definitely a new go to taco spot for me.

    We came here on a Saturday lunch time with some friends. There was a self ordering option which was what we opted for. The ambiance was clean & casual! There was a good amount of seating inside, but each table accommodated around 4 people? We ordered tacos(Tinga, grilled chicken, bbq brisket, steak, grilled fish), rice &beans, chips&guac, elote corn & churros between me and my husband. FOOD tacos: The fillings of the tacos were basically the same--greens, guac, cheese, pico, crema? Out of the tacos we liked the bbq brisket the most! It was the most flavorful of the proteins. We liked the tinga the least--it tasted dark meat chickeny if you know what I mean... our friend also did not love her chicken tinga. All of the tacos ended up tasting kind of similar since all the toppings were the same. 3.5/5 Chips & guac- chips were solid. Not too thin and had a nice crunch with not too much or too little salt. The guac was fantastic! It was sooo creamy and velvety almost ganache like? But also had a good bite from the tomato and onions. I loved that it was Not too acidic (don't like sour guac). I might like this more than chipotles guac? 5/5 Rice & beans- both seasoned well! Flavorful. Not mushy 4/5 Elote- Delicious, tastes like elote. It wasn't drenched in mayo, which I liked. 4/5 Churros- these were underwhelming for me. I liked the actual churros, but not the filling inside. I think it was supposed to be dulce? But it tasted like super sweet and artificial--not a fan! At least it was cooked well. 2/5 I generally enjoyed everything I ate here. Some things were better than others. But what I appreciate is how fresh everything tasted! But honestly, my favorite thing about this meal was the house hot sauces! My fav was definitely the pineapple habanero and jalepeno one.

    Wanted to grab a quick bite. We found this local gem while running errands. Tacos, burritos, bowls, quesadillas and salads. I had a shrimp and chicken ting taco (shrimp taco was devoured before I snapped a picture:) The tacos were packed full of flavor and I topped mine with a pineapple sauce, which was so yummy! I concluded my meal with some fresh churros. This place is awesome! Moderately priced and the food is great! I can't wait to come back and try something else.

    I got the elotes side ($4.50) which they brought as an appetizer. Very yummy. For my main dish, I ordered the 3 tacos mix n' match ($10.89). I got one chorizo (not as tasty as I had imagined but good), one bbq brisket (very delicious), and 1 ground beef (solid - really just checking this out for my son). I had all the toppings except guacamole. As you can see in the photo, they "double" the corn tacos. You can also get flour tacos and they have several other protein choices that I'll sample next time. My friend had elotes as well, 2 tacos (grilled chicken and fish - which is grilled not fried - and rice. She enjoyed her meal as well. Even though this is a fast food-type place (order at the counter), the staff was very kind, bringing our order to the table and picking up our baskets at the end. We'll definitely return

    Don't let the tacis distract you from the chimichanga!

    Wow, this place SMELLS amazing outside, so we are walking around One Loudoun and say, heck, let's…read moregive them another try, it's not busy at all 2pm). There were an abundance of tables and booths inside and outside, but we were told they were all "RESERVED" and we would have to sit in the bar area. All high top tables, except one, which we had to use (medical issue). It was by one of two doors outside to the patio on the bar side of the restaurant, which should have been my warning to just leave now and save the hunger for another establishment. The bartender was working EVERY TABLE in the area, inside and outside. I was concerned, but we gave him a chance. Chips were good, salsa was kinda green and tasteless, but we only ever got one basket of chips in the 80 minutes it took us to order, get our food, and ask to pay. There was soccer on in the bar to distract, thank goodness, because it was filled with people and at least four kids literally having foot races in the bar area because they were bored waiting for their food. No kiddie activity crayons or whatever. My husband is halfway through his soda, and we see a long, dark hair inside the glass... INSIDE THE GLASS. When the waiter finally got back to us, we asked for another drink glass. He brought us two fresh drinks, but now mine had a jagged glass chip missing from the rim (where you place your lips), so I was no longer interested in my drink. Food was mostly OK, the fajita chicken is very good, the tortillas soft and fluffy. The beef in the enchiladas or taco my husband got is currently making him feel a bit ill (oily maybe?) but his chicken one was good. The poor waiter had too many tables for one person. The other person in the bar area was in full out prep mode for a night of drinks and bar activities. Lemons, limes, ice, very busy, didn't help the waiter at all. The tables that were vacated stayed dirty for almost 30 minutes outside, no bus boy help, but several staff people in the host area talking and I suppose waiting for the avalanche of guests for those empty tables. By the way, if you sit near the door outside, every single time the waiter opens the door, a gush of humid, hot air blows you hard and strong. It's very annoying, and you want to AVOID the tables by the patio door or you will get to enjoy all the seasons, all at once. We finally were able to get the waiters attention to pay, tipped him (this situation wasn't his fault), and left. Guess what? Empty tables, staff standing around, I was annoyed. Don't go without a reservation, or better yet, don't go to Uncle Julios... The choice is yours.

    For secret of Mayo, they really sucked!!!!…read more No music and a very noisy restaurant Not to mention their bathrooms were absolutely disgusting ! Piss on the seat toilet paper all over the floor A can't wash basin covered in dirty cloth disposable paper- It was that the manager hasn't walked into the bathroom throughout the course of 23 hours of 2 to 3 hours I was appalled and quite disgusted with using the restroom !!!!! Don't go here it's gross !!! Gonna throw up now!!!
