“Giving 4 stars because I had one of the absolute best steak quesadillas I’ve ever had here a week or two ago. I went back today but it seems they switched the meat and I am not sure how to feel about it… :( also there’s a blob of mayonnaise in place of sour cream. Maybe an off day?“
“The food was absolutely delicious!! My friends and I have been wanting to try out this restaurant and I think we’ve found our new hangout spot. Our waiter was very attentive, everything we ordered was very tasty, and the Latin music added a fun and lively atmosphere. We felt very welcomed and we will probably come back this next week. Highly recommend!!“
“I ordered food from here off of DoorDash and went to pick it up. It was ready pretty quick and then thought the food was very good. I had a few tacos and the jalapeño pupusa and would order it all again. It was before 11 in the morning so no one else was there but I'd come back.“
“We catered in Casa de Avila for a birthday party and it was such a hit! I knew their food was great after having it at their food truck, but catering in food can sometimes be a different experience. Thankfully, the catered food was just as good because they put care and quality into the prep and delivery! I can appreciate that it’s difficult to prep a larger size of food and deliver it fresh and in a way that upholds the quality of the food. They have everything down to a science. The employee who delivered everything was on time, professional, and careful! Their communication with scheduling and planning was outstanding which is very important to me. I highly recommend Casa de Avila for authentic delicious Mexican food! Best tacos in the area! ❤️“
“I cannot recommend this place enough - it truly hits the mark for any occasion, whether it be a casual hangout, romantic date, important business meeting, or catching up with friends. The ambiance is lively and vibrant, creating an atmosphere that is both energetic and comfortable. And let me tell you, the service here is unparalleled. The staff truly goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and taken care of. Even without a reservation, we were accommodated with ease. The hostess offered us a table, but we opted for the bar instead. Our bartender, Denisse, was an absolute gem. She was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She recommended some fantastic cocktails and dishes that we simply couldn't resist. We started with the passionfruit mezcalita, which was so refreshing that we ordered multiple rounds. And then, we dove into the menu. I decided to try a variety of tacos, and let me tell you - they did not disappoint. The roasted duck taco had a wonderful tamarind glaze and caramelized onions that added the perfect touch of sweetness. The pork belly taco was spicy and flavorful, and the crispy oyster taco was crunchy and delicious. The Baja fish taco, with its spicy tempura-battered cod and chipotle slaw, was an absolute standout. I loved it so much that I ordered four more! My girlfriend went for the chips and salsa verde, which were perfectly seasoned and fresh. She also ordered the chicken tacos, which were juicy and flavorful. And of course, we couldn't resist trying the cheese steak taco with Oaxaca cheese - it was a total winner. Overall, I can confidently say that this restaurant is a must-visit. The freshly squeezed pomegranate juice Paloma with tequila was the perfect finishing touch to an already incredible meal. Don't miss out on this gem in the Reston Town Center.“
“Great halal place. Just a suggestion to put out the halal zabiha certificate somewhere it’s visible to your customer. We asked the cashier whether it’s halal. She said everything in the menu is halal. She also provided the owner’s name.Anyways, tacos were delicious. They were loaded with ingredients and flavor. Just wondering, why only soft tacos? Why not crunchy tacos also? Quesedillas was tasty. Churos were so yummy?. I enjoyed every bite of it. They were crunchy from outside and soft and creamy from inside. I highly recommend this place. I will be going there again and again.“
“Visited for the first time this evening and loved it! Sat at the bar and talked with the really friendly and helpful waitstaff/bar tenders. There was music playing, but not nearly as loud as some of the other places, so it was very nice to sit and talk with the person I was with. The happy hour drink and food specials are great and go on until 7pm every day! Once our food arrived, we were completely sold. We got 4 different tacos and all were wonderful! Very full tacos with lots of flavor. All the meats were juicy and delicious and the pico and corn salsas were obviously fresh and full of color and flavor. We will definitely be back!!“
“If you're looking for an international version of a greasy spoon, this is it! Food is superb. Prices are reasonable for anywhere, let alone NOVA. Atmosphere is attractively rough around the edges. And they have good beer on tap. Highly recommend!“

It's a must-visit destination for any food lover."“
“I ordered carryout Papusas with pork and cheese. 5 of 5 stars! They were not greasy from oil. The cheese and pork was delicious!!! The savory vinegar based slaw was a great compliment to the comfort food style of the papusa. I will 100% return for more! I also ordered the lengua tacos. They were delicious as well. They came in a double corn tortilla with a pico type topping, lime wedge and picante type sauce on the side. This wasn't the Mexican type of shredded lengua but more of a cubed up type which was fine. I will reorder these as well 100%! I like how they placed foil underneath the papusas to prevent the melting of the styrofoam container. The order took around 10 minutes on a Saturday at 1130am. The order taker was polite and attentive to when my order was ready to be given me.“
“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.“
“The Great Falls location our goto Friday night with the kids. The food is great and the manager is a real pleasure. I love the Margaritas and the beers on tap as well. We often bring friends and they always remark what a great place to unwind from a long week!“
“My niece and I came for the Tamales cooking class. Chef Tomas was the best. Very friendly and his love for cooking is contagious. Our tasting included the Tamales, tacos and empanada. All DELICIOUS. We ended staying for the cocktail class. Lots of fun. Great vibe. Great people. Samet was our instructor for the Tequila tasting. He too was very friendly and made the whole experience a lot of fun. We drove from Baltimore for the event today and it was well worth it. We'll be back.“
