Amazing asada tacos. Would recommend

Allan Lau

This location is one of my favorites. Food is delicious. There was an instance where we ordered chicken tenders for my son and got what looked like a sliced milanesa...

This location (McLean) serves the best burritos, the one on Summit, unfortunately was soaking their tortillas in oil and that ruined that experience for me.

Stopped in for lunch on Sunday. No wait seating, server was friendly, plenty of parking. Ordered gorditas, rice, Chile relleno taco, aqua de jamaica, chips and quac. Everything was amazing. This place has great food. If you like greasy salty food, you will not like this place. This is the best Mexican food I have ever had at a restaurant. The carne asada is arrachera made on a grill, or at least they had me fooled, cuz the steak was perfect. Thank God these people are in the restaurant industry.

I ordered a 2 steak burritos and they didn’t add sour cream or cheese!!! The female employee proceeded to argue with me after going back and forth in Spanish with other employees about whether or not they added the cheese and sour cream. She then told me that I had to drive an hour back to the restaurant to get credit and refused to give me her name

The woman at the register was nice, I’ve been going here for over 5 years and the food has always been consistent even through new hires, but this time the food was not the same at all. Portions were smaller, they got one of my burritos wrong, there was cilantro all over the wrapping even when I didn’t order cilantro and I’m pretty sure it doesn’t even come in the burritos ? The meat was super dry and basically burnt for the chicken, there was raw onion in the chicken burrito when again, pretty sure that’s never been a thing before ?
This new staff just seemed to not know how to cook anything and were more worried about gossiping and dancing around rather than cooking or getting the orders right obviously. Again, this doesn’t apply to the woman at the window. This incident was Sunday October 13th at 4:00pm for a staff reference if needed.
