Mexican Restaurants near Fairfax Station

“The food here is amazing. They have tons of gluten-free and vegetarian options. My go-to dish is the Chicken Flatuas. They are prepared extremely well, affordable, and have never disappointed me. They also have great fajitas and arroz con pollo. When the restaurant gets busy, the service is a bit more varied, but the staff is very nice. The food comes out fast and tastes delicious. The cocktails are reasonably priced and they have a wide selection to choose from.“

“We went for a date here after my husband was looking for something close to Chantilly but different. Oh wow! The food was so fresh and hot and phenomenal! We love Indian food so tried the butter chicken tacos and masala burrito. The chips and salsa kept coming as quickly as we asked. I can not wait to return!“

Cuando he tenido que ajustar el menú a mi necesidad y paladar, la dueña lo ha hecho terminando en un plato divino!!! Los recomiendo, vayan y demuéstrenle cariñito!!! Dios los bendiga“

“The best taco place in the Manassas area, I have been eating from this truck for 9 years, the best tacos and cakes in Manassas, good attention and fast service, The owner is a very good person, I recommend head cakes, which is my favorite, and tongue tacos are my favorites“

“Loved the tacos, some better than other, service was good, only 4 stars for atmosphere because the ceiling was staring back at us but other than that I liked the seating and layout, also saw they have events some nights and definitely will be going back to try more food and the events. A great place next to GMU campus in university mall, and the best part is that they have Jarritos. Chips were solid too, salsa is spicy, if you are white or just have no spice tolerance at all beware.“

“I visited this Tex-Mex restaurant with a friend some time ago, and we had a fantastic dining experience. The food was outstanding, served in the perfect portions with the freshest ingredients to create the best Tex-Mex cuisine in the area. The interior was decorated with numerous paintings and art, which made the ambiance bold, colorful, and authentic. The service we received was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking the best Tex-Mex food in town!“

“Came during happy hour, and was pleasantly surprised at the prices and options they had. Loved the frozen lime margarita (a must), with the chicken quesadillas and the guacamole and salsa to share with the table. Loved the pupusas, and the best thing about this restaurant is that the food is always fresh and hot! We loved the tres leches and the churros and ice cream.“

“This place is legit! So glad I came upon this place. Anyone serving nopleys and grilled onions needs to be seriously considered. The beef tongue is phenomenal! Fresh made charrorones with fresh guacamole is fire! If you want TRUE Mexican food, this is your place!“

“I have been to all the local El Pasos and I like them all.I just never cared for the free chips & salsa. They don't taste authentic & are flavorless. I also hear the steak is absolutely horrible. It's so bad, two people I took will never go there, again. But the margaritas are affordable, delicious, there's a wide variety & you can have them made with top-shelf ingredients. I also do prefer health foods & there is very little I can order, but just enough that I still make the trip, a few times a year.With the last thought said, I would be happier if they had a healthier portion of the menu. Maybe gf tacos or burritos, refried beans without animal lard, a good-tasting vegan cheese (Kite Hill or Tofutti) and/or gf tortilla chips. Maybe even more salads, too. If they did, I'd probably go more then a few times a year. Maybe a few times a month! No one wants to eat the same thing, all the time.Although the lighting is a little bright, I do like the atmosphere. It's colorful & authentic & has plenty of booth-seating.Upon this last visit service was slow and my order came out wrong, even with a translator, but they made up for it, just fine. Usually my order comes out 100% correct.However, I will not stop going, despite anything negative I may have said!Vegetarian options: You'd have to customize a ton & note that the refried beans contain animal lard.Dietary restrictions: Nothing GF available, except a salad or dishes where the tacos come on the side (so you can just not eat them), like the enchiladas.“

“Oh my Lord! I had forgotten how good Mexican can be when done right. This was the best restaurant surprise that my husband and I have had in a looong time. They were closing and agreed to serve us anyway. Who does that any more? These guys. From the moment we walked in, we were transported to Mexico. The family that runs it treats you as though you are part of the family. And what was even greater was how delicious and fresh the food was. Tacos were just incredible - Al pastor, asada, pollo and chorizo. We can't wait to bring our little boys here. Thank you, Agave, for saving us from the Mexican food desert that used to be NOVA.“

“Friendly service and delicious food. The flan was awesome! Great place to treat myself while getting my car worked on across the street. (Glad I’m still young enough to sprint for my life across horrible Fairfax roads with no easy way for pedestrians to cross.)“

“Always great food. I don't think it's on the menu anymore, but don't miss the California burrito, which comes with fries and guac inside the burrito. BBQ brisket is superb here. Great salsa. Bottled sodas from Mexico. Nothing not to like.“

“Have been coming here for years, ever since they opened their first location around 2009 or so off Rt 50. Steve and his team do a wonderful job here consistently putting out quality food at a reasonable price. If you're looking for Tex-Mex food look no further. They've expanded their menu in recent years and the new offerings are as good as the classics. Great staple and our family looks forward to continue visiting this place for many years to come and at their new locations too.“

“We hadn't been in a while and were not disappointed. The food and service was excellent. The device was fresh and delicious. Ricardo was the most attractive server and the manager, Edgar, was on the floor and checked on us as well. Highly recommend!“

“Qué rico! ? This Mexican food is absolutely divine! The flavors are so vibrant and authentic, it's like a taste explosion in my mouth! The tortillas are perfectly handmade, the meats are tender and juicy, and the sauces are rich and bold. And the presentation? ¡Es una obra de arte! ? Every dish is a masterpiece, a feast for the eyes as much as the taste buds. I could eat here every day and never get tired of it. The service is also top-notch, friendly and attentive. ¡Viva la comida mexicana! ?? Five stars isn't enough, this place deserves a million! ?“

“Great authentic local taqueria that doesn't break the bank. Love their burritos, the original and California one. I'd chose it over Chipotle any day. The first time my coworkers and I went to dine in, we caw boxes of fresh avocados coming in. This is an authentic and great joint that uses fresh ingredients.“

“This place had very good tacos. Specially the birria tacos along with the consome (the sauce for the birria tacos that you dip in) our family enjoyed trying out some of the other dishes too. Our waiter Damaris was very attentive and friendly with her service and we would definitely come back again to try more!!“

“Nice out of the way place across from the hotel at Silverbrook and Lorton Road. There is a full bar and maybe 10 tables. Service was excellent and food came to the table fresh and hot. We had chips salsa and modelo negro. Small but cute that I will try again.“

“Great hole in the wall spot on the second floor. Food is delicious - not too oily so tacos don't get soggy. Great range of menu options. The steak, beef, chicken are halal.Dietary restrictions: The meat (chicken, beef) is halalParking: Strip mall with lots of spots to park“

“Walked here with family from a near-by hotel. My daughter (age 7) said she's going to be moving here someday just to order the kids burrito every day. I don't usually indulge in frozen margaritas so glad that I did here because it was delicious! Spacious, clean and not loud made this an exceptional family friendly restaurant.“

“I will go back to Urbano. The food was good on my one visit, and the atmosphere was excellent with two sides of the restaurant open to the outdoors in good weather. The service was acceptable. The men's room is inadequate for the capacity of the restaurant though.“

“Best taco bamba in my opinion. Plenty of parking spots. Fast service. Food is goodVegetarian options: Depends on the menu, they have a coupleDietary restrictions: Ask the employee, they would be better helpParking: Open space parking lot, unique shopping center but enough parking spots if not the weekend or busy dayKid-friendliness: Clean and friendly environmentWheelchair accessibility: Not really accessible“

“Updating for our most recent visit on 4/18/24WOW! Amazing staff and service, fun atmosphere, and a pretty strong happy hour margarita. Just a great time all around.Our meal at Senor was a mixed bag, but they went out of their way to solve the problems we had and because of that we will likely be back in the future.The restaurant itself is a fun space, with lots of bright decoration and fun music. Likewise, the entire hosting and serving team went above and beyond. They were let down by some kind of mess in the kitchen that left us waiting almost an hour for a 2 item order.The team was apologetic, communicated, and gave us a break on the bill to help make up for the issue. I hope that was an isolated problem, because once it came out the food was solid to“

“We stumbled upon Taco Rock one day while shopping and went for lunch. About 5 hours later we went back for dinner! If that doesn't tell you how great this place is, I don't know what will.The atmosphere is great! Everything from '80s videos to today's, fun to watch along with several TVs. Usually with sports. The music's not too loud that you can't have a conversation.The menu is actually quite expansive, more than just tacos.. They have everything from basic tacos to more complex and fusion type tacos along with tortas, quesadillas, and even a taco salad bowl. And The joy of this place is you can eat a few tacos and a soda for less than 10 bucks. You can also go way beyond that with one of their appetizers like nachos, taco pizza, empanadas and more. The tortas and sandwiches are quite good but run a little expensive. I've yet to try the fajitas but see them often and people seem to enjoy them. Other than that, I think we've had everything on the menu!I'm at the Falls Church location weekly, and you actually start to see a lot of the same crowd there. It's not unusual to see families there with the parents on the bar side and the kids on the restaurant side. As far as the bar, it seems quite busy, but I've yet to really connect with a bartender there. Some are friendlier than others.The rest of the staff, however, are absolutely amazing. Everyone from the cooking crew who smiles and laughs but is 100% professional to the friendly and fast expediters to Mario, the master of Quality Control ensuring your leal is not only accurate but beautiful to look at, he is rhe glue that keeps the whole place together.You can't go wrong with Taco Rock!Vegetarian options: The fried avocado, balsamic mushroom, and my personal favorite. The cauliflower tacos are amazing.“

“It's new, it's good, it's worth visiting. [fin] Ok, jk jk, I'll write more. Let's cover food, service, and ambiance in that order. Food: Solid to very good. Of the el arriero ny steak, lomo saltado, and molcajete ... the steak and molcajete win. Sadly the lomo saltado, while quite decent, doesn't hold a candle to Super Chicken in Tysons. Ok but here's the important bit: THE CHIPS. The chips are great. Not only are they thin and crispy, they're well salted AND served with both WARM and COLD salsas. I never thought anyone would do as well as Uncle Julios for chips, but ... well, Guapos does. Service: Ironically we've been twice and we had the same server both times. And she was excellent. Super friendly, quick with requests, and checked in frequently. Not only that, they clearly operate as a team and several folks came by during the meal to ensure drinks were filled, napkins were in order ... and shockingly, as we were wrapping up, someone wiped the crumbs off the table. I mean that's a white-tablecloth steakhouse thing... right? Apparently it's a Guapos thing too. Ambiance: Fun to hip. The first time we were there was opening week and the live band was both entertaining and, uh, loud. Look, we're fogies, we complain about this err ... stuff. The second time we went it was much quieter and we were able to enjoy our meals AND our conversation. The decor is pretty great, the table arrangement spacious, and the place was packed, nevertheless. I'll close out with parking. It's a big lot, and it gets crowded ... but we found spots nevertheless on a busy night. Looking for Mexican? Yeah, I'd go here again. No arm-twisting required.“

“Takeaway: Large portions. Deliciously crafted flavors. Dishes are well thought out and beautifully presented. Every once in a while you find a place that ends up being your go to for a particular dish. Uncle Rico's Cantina is that place for Mexican cuisine. Oh, and yes, free chips and salsa - a must.5/2024, Monday.Time: 1 pm.Meal: Lunch - Chimichanga with chorizo and cheese sauce.Price: $$ to $$$ (lunch). However, the average person will get two meals from the Chimichanga, for example.Wait Time: Long for lunch.Staff and Service: Friendly and attentive with good timing. Asked about chips and salsa refills when they got low.Restrooms: Did not use.Atmosphere: Main dinning room is a bit full with tables pretty close. Not very noisy. Decor could be better. Outdoor seating looks fun when it warms up.Parking: Cantina is part of a strip of commercial businesses with plenty of unassigned parking spaces.“

“Happy hour was packed and I thought I’d be waiting for a while for my drinks and food, but that was not the case. My beer came amazingly fast and my tacos were served soon afterwards and were delicious. I was just looking for a convenient place nearby my hotel, but it was so much more than I expected. I look forward to going again.“

“This is my ABSOLUTE FAV MEXICAN RESTAURANT in the area! stublend upon this place one night and has been my favorite place since! the service is excellent! the food and atmosphere is great too! my favorite dish is the "grill de Mexico" and I come here nearly every Friday! great place!5/5 stars!“

“For Mexican food I’ll always go to the jarochita or this Mexico lindo. Their food is always delicious and once you go in it really feels like you’re in Mexico which I appreciate. They’re tacos Al Pastor and torta de hamon are my go too!!“

“Great tacos. Got thier lengua and birria. They have some delicious leches cake and pastries for those who like dessert after. I'm definitely coming back here to try their breakfast. You won't find a more authentic Honduran meal in the area.“

“I thought this place was pretty solid. I ended up getting four of their tacos Spicy pork was excellent Chicken was just okay Shimp was just okay Bulgogi was okay I did take out. Ordered at the counter. One of the disadvantages is their English speaking skills isn't the best. The person working the counter really doesn't understand anything and was relying on other people to tell her what to do. Place was clean. I'm not sure I would dine in but it seems like a good and solid takeout spot. It's not as tasty as Taco Bamba but then again what is? Also I'm a little bit confused about some of the things on their menu some of the other reviewers mentioned that they had goat but I didn't see it on their menu at all which is disappointing because I would have loved to have tried a goat taco For the four tacos that I did get, this was about 16 bucks which is I think a bit high given the amount and quantity of food that was stuffed into each taco. Barking is free and in a parking lot. This is on the map identified as Annandale but I did see a big call more sign right outside the parking lot so I think that we're in a area that is more culmore rather than Annandale Overall if I was in the area I would check it out again.“

“One of the best pupusas in town. Definitely worst a visit if your in the Germantown area. I stop bye any chance I get. It's funny how they're inside a beer and wine store. So you can pick up beer and pupusas or any other goodie's they make.“

“We were pleasantly surprised with this place - good food, great drinks, wonderful service - what’s not to like! The food came out fast (in a very full restaurant on a Friday night, mind you!) and it was good. Unlike some other Mexican restaurants we’ve been to, the house margarita in this place is a very good one, not watered down and had a good bit of tequila in it - so if you want to relax with family or friends after work one night, this is the place to be, we certainly enjoyed it!“

“Great prices, fast and well made food, quality of the food is top tier and tastes very authentic. I know it’s in the back of a super market but it’s a great hole in the wall spot. I got quesabirrria from here with consome and it’s delicious.“

“Outstanding nachos! Perfect complement of cotija cheese and sautéed veggies. And the chips were robust enough to could keep up with my aggressive scoops. I’m 25 minutes from this place and I’d considered driving back just for another run at the nachos.“

“This hole in the wall did not disappoint! I couldn’t read the menu in Spanish but I was assisted in clear English which was helpful and I ordered what was recommended for my hankerings. The beef tacos seemed traditional Mexican style and they were so tasty! I got 3 to the order that were very filling. I’m fairly certain the tortillas were hand made, they certainly tasted fresh and homemade with something like pico & beef inside, topped with radish and cucumber, side of lime and the best sauce. So good! I wish I’d taken a pic because the presentation was nice. I ordered tamales to go and will have them later. They were wrapped very well and kept warm while I sat to eat. It smells delicious. I’m not local or I’d return.“

“Our server Almy was incredible. I asked for a spicy salsa and she went in the back and got ingredients and made me a fresh jalapeño salsa. I thought that was an amazing touch. She took really good care of us. I got the three enchiladas meal and it was so good. The food has a taste that’s different from your run of the mill Mexican place. It tastes authentic and made with care. I will definitely go back!“

“This location is great. The staff is always friendly but what happened to the vegetarian menu? Taco Bell is one of the only fast food chains that has always catered to vegetarians. Not only was the vegetarian menu gone but also the fiesta veggie burrito ???“

“Visiting from out of state and found this gem. Good sized portions on their lunch menu for $9.99 + a small serving of chips while you wait for your food. Dine in without a waiter. We hope to come back before we leave. I'd be a regular if we lived nearby. Nice staff.Parking: Big parking lot in strip mall. Tons of free parking.“

“The staff here are great! We rolled in with 5 for a late bday taco and fried ice cream on a Sunday night and the staff let us enjoy our meal and stayed open late. Thank you!!! All the street tacos and crispy tacos we ordered were good and the spicy marg has some kick!“

“Pretty good food. One of the better Mexican restaurants in the area. The Carnitas tacos were really good, as was the Pollo Veracruz. 5 stars for their hot suace. I'm talking about the stuff that came with my tacos and the habanero sauce you have to ask for. The salsa that's comes with the chips is really good too, not hot, but very flavorful.I'll be back. There are several other items on the menu I want to try.Parking: Plenty of parking in the lot between their building and the Wegmans or between Lazy Dog and Habit Burger.“

“At Anita's New Mexico Style Mexican Food, I savored the pork green chili burrito, a visual and flavorful delight. This mouthwatering creation featured a generous filling of succulent pork carnitas bathed in a tantalizing green chili sauce, crowned with an additional layer of the spicy green chili for an extra kick of flavor. The burrito's harmonious blend of tender meat and vibrant chili sauce left a lasting impression, thoroughly satisfying my taste buds. Accompanying this culinary masterpiece was a side of guacamole, boasting a chunky texture and made with the freshest ingredients. The guacamole's creamy richness complemented the bold flavors of the burrito, enhancing the overall dining experience. My visit to Anita's was a gastronomic journey filled with authentic New Mexico-style cuisine and impeccable flavors. I wholeheartedly enjoyed every bite and would eagerly recommend Anita's for a taste of...“

“Food here is excellent! The street corn has so much flavor! Love the mango salsa!! I got a baja bowl with chicken and black beans; my boyfriend got a chicken burrito. Both were very good! We ordered via Door Dash, but will definitely give the restaurant a try next time for sure. Highly recommend. Get the street corn!!“

“This is the perfect, family-friendly restaurant with good food and good drinks! Some of the best fajitas I’ve ever had. The seasoning is what really makes this restaurant stand out- it’s unlike any other I’ve ever had at a Mexican place before. The salsa is also a standout. The owners will make you feel like family. I can’t say enough good things about this place!“

“Breakfast burritos (especially the Mr T & Chicharron) are excellent & I always love the BBQ Pork burrito platter. The salsa is one of my favourites anywhere, but it's better when dining in. The takeaway salsa is always more watery. Service is hit or miss, but I'm not really there for the service anyway.“

“Love that the servers are always welcoming & they all serve all tables. You dont have to wait for a specific server. Generous pours & fast service along with a great menu of options for food & drinks...especially if you like tequila!! Great local place!“

“The food and drinks, all! In addition to the staff and service. Recently, the owner helped me with a car issue at almost 11pm. Dead battery. She went with me next door to find someone to help me jump start the battery. That didn’t work and she went further: she gave me a ride home! I’ve been visiting the restaurant for years, I thought she was the manager—I now know she owns the place. Ana, thank you for being so kind, nice, friendly and simply an outstanding individual. May you continue to succeed just as you have for 17 years! I love everything about El Pueblo even more now!“

“I was driving on the 234 road Sunday morning when my daughter saw the truck and she asked me to stop. I'm very hesitating to stop and eat on those food trucks due bad experiences on wineries and breweries . The truck was in the Shell's parking lot, the lady was very friendly and she took pur order promptly. Food was absolutely amazing we ordered pupusas and tacos . Definitely I would come backParking: Located in a parking lot“
