Food: we ordered the sizzling fajitas and was AMAZING! Huge portions Service: quick and very nice - attentive Ambiance: we ate outside with our 2 furbabies. We made reservations at 5:30pm and it was nice weather. The only downfall is the rude and loud people driving and trying to show out on in their cars while driving on the strip like it's Vegas. Will definitely come here again! read more

I really enjoyed myself here. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, this is not the place. But, if you want solid Mexican with a nice vibe; this is a cool spot. I came early on a Friday around 5:00PM. It was fairly empty, and by 6:30PM, it filled with patrons. I ordered Pacifico on draft, which is not included within Happy Hour, and their 22 ounce glass is not cheap. I ordered beef fajitas for my meal. They provided a really nice complimentary tortilla and two salsas, which got me started with my beer on an empty stomach. The fajita's came with rice and beans. I enjoyed the entire dish and had a great time. Mosaic is a really cool area that I try to visit when I'm in this part of Virginia because of the variety of restaurants and shops. It's just a cool place that we don't have anywhere in NYC. Mosaic actually has a city vibe without the headache of parking and commotion. There's a huge three or four level parking garage, with street parking. read more

Solid Mexican food - big menu with lots of options. Two salsas come with your chips - a smoky and spicy one. Both tasty. I asked for hot sauce and got a trio of house made options - all really good! read more

2pm. party type venue with in/outdoor seating. Staff was attentive and polite. Food was fresh and well plated. The seasonings used in the rice, beans and chicken chimichanga were a little different from the norm which was a nice change. read more

Came here for a holiday luncheon from work and the decor was nice and fancy. I had ordered the 72 hour slow cooked short ribs and it was okay. The meat felt soft but tough at the same time but the flavor was pretty good. They positioned my asparagus in either the shape of a ln A or it was made by the Blair witch... I'm not too sure but that kinda low key haunted me throughout my meal. It still haunted me... why did they put it in that shape... Why? But still had a nice time... read more

3.5/5 Happy Hour Experience-came here around 5:30pm on a Friday- did not need reservations. We did happy hour (bar area only)- they had high top seats so we could sit with each other). We got the $11 nachos with brisket, $11 taquitos chicken, $12 taquitos el pastor?, and $7 margs. The food was yummy- and the margs were good. The service was a bit slow and lacking-we had to be the ones to flag down the server multiple times- even went up to the counter to place our orders because we couldn't catchy anyone's attention. It took margaritas almost 20 minutes to get out- of it was faster we probably would've ordered more. It was getting busier but far from being packed. We saw the employees chatting and goofing around a lot. tldr: food and drinks were good but took a while to be able to order and get the food and drinks out. Decent happy hour prices (in this economy). read more

Spacious and modern Tex-Mex, very conveniently located in the Mosaic District. It has a funky, young atmosphere. I had the beef and chicken tacos, the food quality was average but portion sizes were reasonably large and the service very friendly and attentive. read more

Urbano - Mosaic District - TACOS - Tex-Mex Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Really slow service. Server was very inattentive. Apparently they were also the bartender. If you value my business you'd think they'd make an effort to give me my bill so I can pay you and leave.i dont have all day. Bathroom ac was broken it seems so they had an external hose running from a portable ac unit outside in the main dining room to it. Which meant the door was propped open. Music in the bathroom was so overwhelmingly loud and bass boosted it made for an uncomfortable experience. Food was at least decent. Not a very busy place. Multiple signs on the outside of the front door saying to not use it and instead use the other front door. Might want to work on that. If I cant use the door what makes me want to come inside and patronize. read more

The restaurant is very vibrant with many specials. I ordered two soft tacos with steak. It was more like a beef stew then the grilled steak I expected. The breakfast burrito was big with a sauce on top. The refined beans were fine. Nothing to rave about. The guacamole came in a cute pig molcajete. The mild sauce that came with the chips was tasty. The service was also a bit slow. Overall I think I'll try other taco places nearby. Might come back for the drink specials. read more

Service: very nice! A bit slow at times, but very nice - much more attentive toward the end Ambiance: casual Tex-Mex spot. Usable bathrooms but they smelled bad and weren't very clean. Sinks spray all over so be careful. Food: no! Not worth the cost and doesn't compare to local spots at all. Even with an inkind promotion, I was still mad at what I paid. Enchilada: not good at all. I got pork with green sauce. Sauce was on the sweeter side. Chimichanga: unimpressive Rice: bland and dry Charro beans: just tastes like roasted something lol Taco: ground beef - very basic but okay Fried ice cream: pass. Not truly fried, just rolled around in some soft topping and placed on top of sweet, fried tortilla strips. Coke: flat Wouldn't return. read more

If you want a mexican dining experience that is a bit luxurious and you're mainly searching for a fancy vibe, check out Urbano in the Mosaic District. The prices of their food are a bit steep for the portions they offer in contrast to your average mexican restaurant, but if you're not the kind to eat until your overstuffed their portions might just do it for you. My sister and I had their steak fajitas, and it was presented nicely and cooked to perfection on a bed of onions. Their chips come with two different salsas, one of which is a smoky chipotle salsa that I haven't tried anywhere else! The person taking our orders roamed around and checked in on their customers often which was nice. Enjoyed the experience here. read more

We love this place in the spring and summer--open air, great food. We went there in winter and they do not turn the heat on. It was somewhere in the 50s in the place and no vestibule to keep outside chill out. By the end of the meal, we were nearly frozen to death. The manager had no explanation and had not contacted HVAC or anyone about remedying its Weird. Come back in summer! Unreadable thermostat picture (sorry!) that said 61 degrees. read more

Craving Mexican and around the area? I wouldn't be opposed to giving Urbano a shot. For the most part I would say this place satisfied my cravings with the fajitas but was slightly on the pricer side with the value you're getting. The service was alright, it wasn't anything special and our server seemed unenthusiastic even when I'd consider my siblings and I "easy customers." read more

My boyfriend and I went to the bar at urbano were immediately put off by how loud the music was--you couldn't hear anyone talking, and the place was empty. The staff had the music blaring and didn't seem to notice or care, even after I said I couldn't hear the bartender multiple times. Another worker eventually turned it down. We were also disappointed by the service. The bartender suggested combining two ceviche options -after we could decide between shrimp or fish but didn't mention it would cost more than double the price ($35 instead of $15). We only found out when the bill arrived, and although she apologized, the charge wasn't adjusted. The food itself was mediocre. Overall, not a great experience. Definitely will not be going back. read more

I really wanted to like this place. My wife and I visited after a show last Saturday. Atmosphere was nice. Inviting. The staff was very friendly and attentive. But the problems began right away. The server brought our appetizer, but it was not what we ordered. We got octopus instead of shrimp ceviche. And there were no plates for us to use to eat the ceviche, which we shared. The cocktails took forever to come out ... not until after we had finished the appetizer. The entrees were just OK. I ordered a shredded beef chimichanga and taco combo. The taco meat (also shredded beef) was dry; the chimichanga was good, but the rice and beans on the side were cold. Nothing like cold refried beans. My wife ordered a shrimp and chorizo dish, and she said it was OK. For dessert, we ordered sopapillas. Instead of being light and fluffy, they were thin and brittle and fell apart as soon as we picked them up. It made eating them difficult. All in all just a fair experience. We probably won't go back. read more

Went during Friday happy hour! If you want the happy hour prices you'll have to sit at the bar, and it's on until 7pm. I give this place 5 stars for their margaritas and the free chips and dip! I could literally just eat the chips and dip for my meal the chips just vanish in my mouth lol. We got the carnitas taquitos and the chicken quesadillas. I was so full from the drinks and chips so I didn't finish it but it was a standard quesadilla. This place gets busy so if you don't have a reservation or come early there may be a wait. We were lucky there were two seats at the bar! read more

I went to Urbano to celebrate my friend's birthday. I have to say that the thing I remember the most about the place is how strong the alcoholic margaritas were here. Walking inside the interior is spacious with the front windows open. It did feel like I was in DC for a minute since some places have everything inside for the windows open too. We sat down and we immediately got drinks. I got the urbano gold frozen rita regular size. When it initially came out, I was shocked at the size since it was in one of those giant goblet cups. Drinking it was a challenge because since I didn't eat anything prior I was getting a tad drunk. That just means the alcoholic drink is worth getting. For the food, I got the Birria Tacos which came with consomme rojo. It also came with refried beans, rice, veggies such as onions cilantro, jack cheese, sour cream guac, and salsa. It was good but I think the portion was a bit small. I'd probably try another dish here but overall, our server was nice and kept checking on us. I think since it was also early there wasn't many people there but it was also a thursday afternoon too. read more

So the rice is probably premade and so are the beans, but the taco is really good and well-made. My friend noted that you can tell that the enchiladas were premade while the tacos were most likely handmade due to the comparison of imperfections on the tortilla. In my opinion, the Birria tacos were filled to the brim and which with the consome. As always, they are messy but in a good way. Service is pretty standard, and overall the food is good. The restaurant and tables are quite clean, except for the bathroom. read more

Not our best experience. The food arrived cold, and my grilled octopus was burnt--with no chimichurri in sight. Our server was noticeably unpleasant, which didn't help. On top of that, the place could use some attention to cleanliness--please dust, especially the middle art wall, and wipe down the glass. Details matter, and unfortunately, they were missed here. read more

Ambiance was great! I liked how there was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating so you could choose what you want. We decided to sit outside and it was so beautiful and was great seeing everyone walk by. There is a section you can sit inside with a huge open window that gives you the best of both worlds. We were immediately greated with chips and 2 dips. Thought the chips were great! I went inside to use the restroom and it was alright - not the cleanest but it did the job. I ordered the fajita salad with steak (cooked medium) which came with romaine, avocado, cheese, fajita veggies, steak and a vinaigrette. I thought it was great but nothing out of this world. I feel like everything besides the steak and dressing I could easily make at home. I wish there were a couple more toppings (corn, or something). I would like to try their happy hour but it is a bummer its at the bar only. They also had weekly specials but we didn't try them this time. read more

Won't be back. As soon as we were seated, we ordered a drink, guacamole, and kids meals (chicken tenders), planning to order meals for ourselves when staff returned. Unfortunately, everything was dropped off so quickly, and not by the person who first helped us, that we didn't have a chance. We sat there waiting for 30+ minutes--no one came by again, to check on us or take the rest of our order. What's more, the food was disappointing. Tasted like premixed margarita, processed "pureed" guacamole, and processed "spongy" chicken. We finally flagged someone down to ask for the bill. read more

First time at the Mosaic District location for Urbano and I definitely like the layout. The location has both indoor and outdoor seating; tables are well spaced and it just has a very open air feel to the place. We sat at a high top near the bar and our servers were very attentive. I ordered a mezcalarita and it was really good. The complimentary chips and salsa are always great. We ordered an al pastor quesadilla as an appetizer. Perfect size for two or four people, depending on how hungry you are. I ordered the mezcal marinated steak and my husband ordered al pastor fajitas. Needless to say we were definitely full after all that. The food all tasted great. My steak was cooked to order perfectly. Do be aware the music is a little loud, but you can still have a conversation. We did not have a reservation and it seems like they have plenty of seating. Thank you for a nice dinner experience. We will be back. read more

Came here with a group of friends and really enjoyed the food and atmosphere! Even before coming here, passing by and looking from the outside in, I thought the decor was so cute (bright floral colors). We were a group of 4 and seated quickly. Our group tried their seasonal mojitos (blackberry, passionfruit, pineapple) - all of them were refreshing and tasty. Onto the food, I wasn't a huge fan of their nachos. Our waitress informed us before hand that the nachos came with individual toppings already on top (instead of a bunch of chips with toppings spread out over them). Flavorwise, they were OK. Probably wouldn't order that again. For the entrees, I got the shrimp fajita. I think there probably could've been more shrimp given the price (definitely a little skimpy compared to other similar restaurants). Loved the fresh flour tortillas it came with. Tasted great but it was not super unique. Service was super friendly. All in all, I think it's a great restaurant to hang out and catch up with friends at. The ambiance is perfect - not too loud or quiet. Food-wise, nothing super unique or memorable, but I didn't leave feeling disappointed. I'll be back but it probably won't be one of my regular haunts. read more

Urbano - Mosaic District - Shrimp fajitas *sizzle sizzle* - Tex-Mex Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Terrible restaurant. First clue was the almost completely empty restaurant at lunch time on a Saturday. Second clue was the disgustingly dirty women's room bathroom. There was water all over the floor by the toilet and the sink was covered in mildew. I should have left at that point but I was with friends and we were already seated and eating chips and salsa. My friends reported that the margaritas were terrible and tasted like they came from a cheap mix. They were not freshly made. The corona on tap had no flavor and the beef and chicken taco platter I ordered had no flavor and were dripping in a nasty sauce. My sister's taquitos had a chicken mush inside them that barely resembled pulled chicken and my friend's quesadilla also had chicken mush. My fourth friend liked her chicken tortilla soup The whole place was gross. I will never go back. Go to Bar Taco instead. read more

Decided to visit Urbano after a movie here in Mosaic, and I haven't been before, so why not give it a try. Unfortunately, my experience here was very disappointing. The Food: After browsing the overpriced menu, I decided to go with the "Al Pastor Burrito". The burrito was sad. It came out on a plate with rice, beans, guac and lettuce, but the burrito itself was so small. Its as if they put a half portion of filling inside and rolled it up. So I basically ate a tortilla filled burrito. Not only that, the meat was lacking inside the burrito, so the filling was one not there, and lacked flavor. The only thing I enjoyed eating here was the complimentary chips. The Service: Service wasn't on par with what I was used too. Our server wasn't very attentive with our table, even being next to the kitchen. We had to ask multiple times for water refills and chip refills, but nothing would come in a timely manner. The Atmosphere: The restaurant was nice. Definitely a nice place to grab a drink and hang with friends. Plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, and spacious. Overall, a 2/5. Very disappointing evening here at Urbano. The food was terrible and the service was lacking. If you were thinking of coming here, it best to save our money and go elsewhere worth your while. read more
