Do NOT let the outside 'looks like a shoebox' appearance fool you. When you go inside, don't let the eclectic decor fool you - this place is legit. We are from Texas and we're not expecting much when we went. Ok - we were positively surprised. The chips and salsa are good - the salsa has a nice flavor and not hot which is good for chips. The queso has a very good flavor. We tried the California burrito which had carnitas, rice, refried beans and was topped with white queso. The carnitas was prepared perfectly - great flavor and moist. We also tried the steak burrito (I forget the name) and it was also very good. The steak had a great flavor as did the rice and beans. Finally, we tried the chicken taco salad which was also very good. The grilled chicken was full of flavor and the cheese, lettuce and tomato were very fresh. I added the green salsa which is both flavorful and has a mild kick to it. This is truly the first really good Mexican restaurant we've found in Virginia! We'll go back when we are in town again. Our server was very friendly and the food was timely. I recommend this place!! read more

Once you enter the restaurant, you forget about Waffle House! Great decor, interesting menu, great margaritas and the food is hot, fresh and tasty! The service is all smiles and very attentive! Five stars! read more

I eat Mex/TexMex about 1x a week in lots of different places. My wife and I were on our way to Roanoke from DC and saw the ratings for this place and we thought we'd give it a try. We're very surprised of the ratings given by others. It was average tasting at best; small portions; the marguarita did not have much alcohol; and the price was about 35% more than it should have been. The only better than average thing was the service. Would not go back. read more

This had been on our "places to try" list for a few months, and so glad today was the day we took the leap! Super friendly staff, fun atmosphere, and hot and tasty food. Our party got the Al Pastor tacos, Carnitas tacos and Arron con pollo. All were full of flavor, and we will be sure to come back soon! read more

Lovely little shack with delicious food and welcoming staff and/or owners. If I had not read reviews I would not have gone inside. It looks nothing like it tastes! read more

The food is fabulous! And the service is excellent!! My favorites are the Talapia Tacos, Al Pastor Torta, and Chicken Santa Fe sub. EVERYTHING I have tried on the menu is delicious! read more

Excellent food. Excellent service. The queso came out a bit runny, but it tasted great. It thickened up after a few minutes. I highly recommend this place on flavor alone. I had The Texano Burrito. I thought it was a wet burrito, but it might have got lost in translation. Mine was dry. Either way... excellent. Thank you!! I definitely recommend it. read more

Great food and service. And convenient if you're heading up and down I-81. One of my favorites!! read more

The Sub Station Mexican Grill - Arroz con Pollo - Mexican Near Me - Harrisonburg, Virginia

MAN their food is good! Love stopping in here when I'm not feeling like cooking for the night. Their service is always speedy and nice. The inside is small so I can see the restaurant getting full during lunch and dinner times...but it's worth the wait. My favorite Mexican restaurant in the Valley! I've heard their takeout is done really well too. read more

Got here late Saturday afternoon based upon the good YELP reviews! Noticed there wears availability with social distancing! Since it was my first time not sure if I had to seated or if I can find my own seat! Thankfully the friendly young waitress pointed me to a corner seat! Immediately like any Mexican restaurant, they brought the tortilla chips and salsa! The salsa was not spicy at all, so I added some provided green Jalapeños Cholula Hot sauce! Quite delicious! The ice cold Horchata was absolutely delicious drink! Takes Mexican food to a whole new level for sure! Ordered something I had never tried before the Mexican Torta sandwich which came almost like a stuffed meat panini! It was perfectly crisp probably one the tastiest sandwiches O have had In awhile! I am going to start looking for this sandwich from now on at Mexican joints, to see how it compares to this! So glad I came here! I liked it so much I left a more than 20% tip! I highly recommend this place! Thank you for the memories! Hope to be back again when I drive through the I-81 corridor! read more

The ratio of the peppers outweighed the rice portion, making it just a big bowl of peppers. But the queso and the flavor was good. Then they barely put any cilantro on the tacos, the shells got soggy fast and I think they added water to their sauce cause it was very runny and it had absolutely no flavor whatsoever!! Neither the green or the red sauce had flavor. I'm guessing they were running low and tried to stretch it by adding water. I paid $30 for these 2 items. Which is pretty steep for such a small serving of food of such low quality. read more

But I'd go back anytime Muy bueno. read more

I had the Grilled Chicken Fajitas. It was basically the sizzling fajita prepared in the kitchen and without rice/beans side. It was tasty but didn't blow me away. He had the California Burrito which was large and "good". Service was very friendly and efficient. Overall a pleasant experience across the street from our hotel. read more

What this place lacks in space they make up with a large variety of items that all get rave reviews. I had a chimichanga and it was very good. Also the place is extremely clean and service is prompt and friendly. read more

Excellent food. I think this is the second best Mexican restaurant in all of Harrisonburg,. Exxon on Resevoir Street is the best but Sub Station has more options. read more

Tasty food, great service! Shrimp tacos and Arroz con pollo were delicious! Friendly servers.

We are here overnight and this place is across the street from our hotel. AMAZING! Great food. All employees wearing masks, seating is spaced. Employees were all pleasant too. Did I mention the 20 oz margaritas??? So good. read more

I was on a road trip to the east coast and stopped in Harrisonburg for the night. We decided to stop here to pick up dinner since we were at the hotel across the road and bring it back since we had a long day of driving. We were pleasantly surprised at how good the tacos were. Very satisfying since we were starving after driving for so long without much options along the way. We had carne asada and adobada tacos. Very flavorful and authentic, and that's coming from a girl from southern California where taco shops are around every corner. Service was also friendly and welcoming. Wouldn't hesitate to come back if I stayed in Harrisonburg again. read more

Just passing through town and happened upon this place. From the outside you can tell it's an old Waffle House conversion. But inside you can not tell because they put there touch to make it their own. Now for the food ordered three things the Mexican sub, the el pastor and the carne asada taco and all three were perfect. Great flavors read more

Have been coming here since they opened and the food never disappoints. Owners are fabulous people! They will sit down and actually have a conversation with you and give perfect small business vibes. Combos are great for lunch or dinner and the Arroz Con Pollo and Tacos are spectacular. read more

The name threw me for a loop but don't let it stop you. The tacos are amazing and I want them again today. Great prices and good quantity of food. My only complaint is, their salsas leave a lot to be desired. Other than that it was amazing. read more

A great local place for Mexican food. It can get a little crowded, but other than that everything's great

Underrated place in Harrisonburg! They give you chips and salsa as soon as you're seated and will keep refilling both so watch out because it will fill you up lol. Also, they give you a huge beer mug for water which I thought was hilarious. I ordered the carnitas tacos which came with 4 tacos (topped with just cilantro and onion) and salsa verde. They had several hot sauces ranging from different levels of heat on the side of the table so the heat freak in me appreciated that. Tacos were legit and will leave you satisfied. My dining partner got barbacoa tacos with a side of rice and she liked everything too. The portion for just a side of rice is huge though! Service was good. Didn't realize this at first but you pay up front so don't wait around at the table for a check. Overall, a good place. read more

Good food and huge portions! Staff was friendly. It wasn't crowded when we first got here but eventually started to fill up. Lots of people came for takeout. read more

Best tacos in town! Love this place when I come to the mountains. Definitely stop in here!

One of the best Mexican restaurant in Virginia! Ever since I moved here from Texas I have not been able to find good homemade Mexican food. I found myself traveling to see the caverns when I stopped here on my way there, the food was so good I had to come back again the next day! I had a torta my first day with carne asada and then carnitas the next. Very amazing. I will say the salsa is weird, I taste no spice, cilantro or onion- taste like nasty marinara sauce read more

Great fusion of Valley traditional dining with Latin cuisine and fast service. What other Mexican restaurants serve country ham?

The Sub Station Mexican Grill is a great place to get some great comfort food! The Cod Fish tacos were awesome, very fresh with a little kick. The chicken cheese steak was very good (huge). The Burrito California created such a "food baby" we could barely finish it in one sitting. Love the fact that the cold drinks come in big mugs. Service was excellent. Will have to come back to try the 20 oz fish bowl margaritas! read more

Amazing Service and Fantastic Food!!! I would highly recommend the Veggie Quesadilla--the pickles inside the quesadilla were literally to do for. If you're stopping in Harrisburg for the night, this is definitely the place to grab dinner. read more

Quick stop for lunch. Small casual environment. Should have more than One waiter around lunchtime as some of us are on a tight schedule. Other than that very delicious reasonably priced food. Definitely recommend and will return to sample other plates they have to offer. read more

It's a tiny place that's easy to drive by. It doesn't look like much on the outside. They probably make the best Mexican food in Harrisonburg. I discovered the place when I was with my kids one afternoon a few years ago. Then I made my husband take me here for "date night". He loves it. So now we only go here for Mexican. Their burrito Mexicano is everyone's favorite. We are a family of six. We usually order 5 of those and I order their fajitas. read more

Great selection and spectacular food! Their mangorita was to die for. Had grilled chicken and rice w peppers and onions. Really tasty and the portion was perfect. read more

There isn't much to look at especially from the outside, but this unassuming (and somewhat confusingly named) little place has the best arroz con pollo I have ever had -- super cheesy and delicious. I order it with no onions (personal preference) and extra mushrooms -- perfect comfort food as takeout after a long day. read more
