“The food is good here. It's on the same order as Chipotle.(Go down the line and add what you want) However, it feels more at home style...where you can customize. Plus I believe they have more variety of offerings. They have shrimp and steak too. I usually get chicken....Burritos Bowls Tacos Quesadillas and more.“

“This place RULES. Their quesadillas are amazing and probably the best in all of NOVA.“

“My husband and I are visiting the area but I grew up in Virginia so we are familiar with the area. We were looking for a Peruvian chicken experience. We found a delicious diverse menu full of Peruvian specialties at a super affordable price!

The waitstaff are extremely friendly and helpful. On the day of our visit there was a young lady preparing fresh fruit cups in front of restaurant.

Our purchase was 2 orders of El Tipico, 1 loroco pupusa, 1 ayote pupusa, half of a roasted chicken (for the drive home) and a 16oz fresh pink guava juice as well as a sweet fruity cashew drink called Maranon. We also snagged a watermelon cup on our way out.

The restaurant wasn’t very busy so I hope more people will visit and keep them in business. Our entire purchase was less than $60 which is unheard of in Northern Virginia. Definitely worth the visit! 👍👍“

“I purchased almost everything on their menu, my family and I have tried their tacos de carne asada and pollo, torta de carne asada, and their quesadilla de birria. I have no complaints on the tacos or tortas. They tasted amazing. Their birria is a little saltier than I would want it to be. Their side of consome and rice is so delicious. I wouldn't mind going again just for tacos and tortas. I cant wait to try their steak and cheese subs. I'm looking forward to trying that next. I spent almost $50 wiht 2 quesdillas de birria, 3 tacos de carne asada, 3 de pollo, a torta de asada and a sidral. For that much food no complaints“

“me encanta la comida mexicana muy buena“

“The first time we went here we weren't impressed. However, one of the owners reached out to us personally and invited us back. We have been back twice. They are awesome! The food is yummy and reasonably priced. Staff is very friendly! Only downside is they now do not have fountain drinks (cans only) but I think that's just a sign of the time of living in a pandemic. Hopefully, when we return to a somewhat normal existence this will be back. Love Guapo's and highly recommend!“

“Food music and drinks the staff are awesome place always clean. Live the hookah have ro try it.“

“Mi plato favorito, Jambalaya! Muy bueno!“

“Delicious food. Service took a while which is expected. Its more of a take out spot if you are looking for atmosphere.“

“todo muy riquísimo gracias muy buena atencion“

“Awesome authentic Mexican food truck! One of my favorite go to places in Woodbridge! My wife and kids request at least once a week. Some times multiple times in a week. Its a must do if you're in the Woodbridge/Dale City area. Check them out!“

“I can confidently say Tacos El Costalilla has the BEST tacos in Woodbridge. Everything about this place is amazing. The service is always so friendly and the food comes out super fast, which I love.

They also have a self-serve topping bar, so you can load up your tacos exactly how you like them. I got the carne tacos and they were SO good, especially with a fresh piña juice on the side. You can really taste that all the drinks are made fresh.

My friend ordered the al pastor tacos and honestly… she said they were even better than the carne 😭 she also got the horchata and loved it.

I also tried a cheese pupusa and it was SO good. This is honestly the first place I’ve tried in the area that has both amazing tacos AND pupusas done right.

And to top it all off, I got a churro at the end (yes I was being big back 😂) and the lady made it fresh for me without me even having to ask. That alone made the experience even better.

I seriously love this place and will keep coming back. If you’re in Woodbridge and want real, flavorful tacos, you NEED to try it.“

“OMG absolutely love Ashley's pastelitos insanely good great food great service not really an atmosphere it's a food truck so no tables or anything which is a ok with me to get those delicious pastelitos ? went to the food truck off Rt 123 in Woodbridge most definitely check it out for authentic freshly made food ♥️ their food“

“Great food and great drinks! 10/10 recommend. The tacos and pupusas are my favorite. Will be going here again!“

“Love the Pupusas! Excellent“

“I enjoyed dining at this pupuseria. It was the first time I had been back since it was called the Magic Skillet years ago. Luckily, the restaurant still has all of breakfast menu items from back in the day Plus some classic Latin dishes. My friend ordered the traditional southwest omelet. I ordered a chicken pupusa, a tamal and a taco Al pastor. The pupusa was a 5/5. It was amazing! The tamal and taco were good, 4/5. My friend loved his menu choice. Prices are very fair as well. We’ll definitely be back.“

“The food is very delicious and is cooked when you order it and the first class service 😍“

“I was visiting from Boston and wanted to support a local Latino family-owned business, so I decided to give this place a try. I ordered the chori-pollo and, for the first time, tried the Jugo de Ensalada. Both were delicious! Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the service was incredibly quick. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in town.“
