“Chuys is an excellent Tex-Mex restaurant with reasonable prices. Their servings are generous, often enough to be shared between two people unless one is particularly hungry. In addition to salsa, they offer complimentary dips for the chips listed on the menu. If you're interested, It's widely regarded as the top Tex-Mex spot in Washington D.C. and the surrounding area.“
“I was in the area one morning last week needing gas and stumbled upon this place inside the gas station. I ordered 2 breakfast tacos. They were of nice size and the price was fair but it was weird that I had to pay first. They give you a little paper with a price and you go to the register to pay.Parking: It’s located inside the Exxon“
“We came in for an impromptu lunch. The place is really clean. The staff was really agreeable and kind. They share a space with a brewery and also with a restaurant bar. It’s a pretty neat concept. They have outdoor and indoor seating. The place is packed all the time. 2 January it wasn’t that packed but there was enough movement.We ordered our food at the counter. I saw that they had bottled drinks, like Mexican Coca-Cola and some other drinks, including Jarritos, a natural juices soda. I ordered a fruit punch one which is really delicious.For lunch, we ordered chicken tostadas , and my husband ordered two tacos: Chorizo, Asada Asada, Cordero (lamb) and Carnitas. He could tell the difference of the different meats, and he really enjoyed the Cordero and Carnitas. The only downside was that the meats were on the warm or lukewarm side. Same thing for the chicken tostadas. I wish they would serve them a little bit more on the hot side. We ordered one chicken and empanada as well, and even though the dough is delicate and delicious, the chicken inside again was not hot enough.Food is tasty, the place is clean, and they have a lot of great options. It’s really worth a try. Hopefully next time I will remember to let them know about the meet being under warm which can be a turn off.“
“The people here are just plain awesome and only their food outshines their awesomeness!We have lunch here at least once a week and El Fresco has never failed to deliver.It is Tex-Mex food made with the absolute freshest of ingredients. We swear you can taste the sunshine in the tomatoes used for the many varieties of salsa. Salsa that comes free with a huge helping of the best chips anywhere.We can vouch for anything shrimp having had both the shrimp quesadillas and the handheld shrimp burritos. Both of these are stuffed with fantastic shrimp and the very best of ingredients. (The burrito the winner of any we have ever had and we have had dozens!) All the proteins are of exceptional quality; pork, chicken, steak, etc.The nachos are in a category by themselves -- A delicious monster size helping which we swore we could not finish but oh, look -- we did!There is a terrific lunch menu which runs until the unusual hour of 4:00 p.m. which accommodates us workaholics who will suddenly look at the clock and realize lunch time has passed!We have not had anything of less than stellar quality in the dozens of times we have eaten here.The restaurant is always found in pristine condition as the manager personally takes the time to clean up on a regular basis; you can tell he takes pride in both the facility and the food.NVCC students take note: El Fresco is directly across the street from campus and it offers a 15% discount for students. Such a deal; we wish we were still in school!Please give El Fresco a try as the food is the best Tex-Mex to be found anywhere in the area.“
