It's now Good Eats Emporium and part of the American Restaurants food chain. I wish they would replace the standard menu items available in all their restaurants and get a little more inventive! The service was slow but good and it's an okay alternative to Sweetwater (which is right across the parking lot!).

Had to try something different so I ordered Carnitas Rice Bowl. Wow! It was delicious . Meat was tender, the rice was cooked perfectly and the sauce they included was just enough. Had a little heat but not too much. My Uber Eats delivery guy brought it to me and it was still hot . Y'all have to order the Carnitas Rice Bowl from these folks.

I literally just ordered 6 tacos and churros from ya'll and you forgot my churros and made the wrong taco... worst part is that I ordered from this place BECAUSE I wanted CHURROS.

I will literally never cook Mexican food again as long as this restaurant exists. I used to think I was good at it - oh man!!! Everything here is perfect and delicious!!

Got a delivery order from door dash of barbacoa and chicken tinga tacos. Of course it didn't arrive super fresh because duh, it's door dash...but even being a bit soggy from sitting in a TOGO container for who knows how long, it was DAMN delicious!! I can't even imagine how this would taste fresh at the restaurant. What a gem! If you like plain jane tacos, this isn't for u.. these tacos are packed with flavor and come topped with a bomb salsa verde. Can't wait to go back and order other items on the menu!

I understand that it's a pandemic. This is an offshoot of Great American Restaurants and this location is near one of their other restaurants Sweetwater Tavern that we have been to over 100 times. Went in the restaurant and the tables are comfortably apart and the staff were all masked. We ordered the fajitas, which we've had in Centerville, steak medium rare. What we got was seared meat with a raw center. Purple, raw meat. Not red, purple. It was a clear example of an untrained cook in the kitchen. This was further illustrated by the onions on the plate that were soaked in grease and mushy hiding under the steak. Ended up almost dicing the steak so it could be chewed. Once done the taste was still good. Speaking of chewing the tortillas were, doughy. Tasted like raw dough. The fajitas were also adorned with a grilled jalapeno which was excellent. However the plate needs two. There were about ten customers in restaurant and our waitress was helpful but by the time we left 5 staff members had been to our table with long lengths of time in between. Also ordered Margaritas and not sure if they had any alcohol in them and the first two were loaded with ice barely any Margarita mix. Asked for less ice in the third one but it seemed like I drank "virgin" drinks. Compared to Sweetwater next door this place seems clumsy and much less professional. With that said we will probably go back and give it another try.

So glad this we have this close by! I had the chicken tacos, mexican corn and cheese dip. Everything was amazing! Cheese dip was the highlight. Curbside pickup was very efficient. Came a second time to dine in and had carnitas quesadillas, cheese dip and burger. Quesadillas were on point and cheese dip was amazing again! Will come back here again to try the bbq!

One of the very best restaurants in the area. Another amazing hit by Great American Restaurants.
So excited to finally try this new spot by the owners of Great American Restaurants!! YES they DO have Ozzy rolls!! When you walk in there's several areas to sit including a bar area with spaced out high top tables of two or four. Everyone has masks (staff) and the place is large, tables spread out throughout, and clean with cute decor. The ambiance is cool. They offer a full bar with wine and beer. Now the food is delicious! They offer a variety of Mexican style food and BBQ on the menu as well as pastries from Best Buns. I ordered steak fajitas, which is often my go-to meal. It was delicious and better than most of the places I have been to in Northern Virginia! Now as with all Great American restaurants the level of customer service goes above and beyond most places. The bartender, server, and everyone we talked to was so welcoming, helpful and kind. They provided tips and answered questions about the menu for us. You can't go wrong here! My husband got the Smoked Chicken with Alabama White Sauce which was juicy and tasty!! Come check it out. We loved it and will definitely come back again. Oh!! The best part is you get all of this yummy, friendly experience at good prices.

Order the carnitas bowl and it’s a joke. If we got 3 pieces of meat was a lot. Lesson learn and I would just stick to chipotle.

Great American Restaurant quality food with no frills and at excellent prices. I had the tacos which were great and my wife had the chicken sandwich which she said blew Popeye's away. Our server Kaitlyn did an amazing job and was completely wonderful. Overall an excellent experience! We will be back.

If I could give this place a million stars I could. From the amazing food and different options to be able to order. You can't believe the impeccable service that we received from AC. He was attentive, helpful, and stayed on top of our orders. I've never felt more important at a restaurant. Lastly, at the end of our visit we had the absolute pleasure of meeting Lee. She came over and introduced herself, and even gave us some muffins to take home! If you are looking for a restaurant who treats you like you're the number one priority AND amazing food, look no further. This is our new Sunday spot!!
