El Fresco Tex-Mex Grill

Decent fast mexican food! We like going here because kids eat for $1 on saturdays :)

The food is decent, we usually get the steak for protein. Any taco or burrito with the steak is really good. We love the black beans and rice too! Corn is delicious and the chips and queso and salsa.

Thought it was great! Actually really delicious quesadilla. I am a sucker for Tex-Mex. Hit the spot when I needed it. It kept me full for my flight home.

They have cockroaches, I went in to pick up my food and saw it on the counter. Just hanging out by the pick up counter waiting to grab a bite. I won't be going back. I tried to reach the manager however somebody else said he was too busy to talk on the phone. When I told the gentleman about the roaches he just asked, where did you see it? It's gone he said...

Update, the manager tried to reach out to me and bribe me to remove this review.

This Mexican restaurant offers a great dining experience thanks to its quick and friendly service and inviting ambiance. From the moment we walked in, the staff were attentive and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The atmosphere was lively and festive, adding to the overall enjoyment.
The food was generally good, with a standout being the vegetarian chimichangas – crispy, flavorful, and satisfying. The veggie tacos, however, were a bit of a letdown, falling short of expectations.
Despite this, the reasonable prices made the overall experience worthwhile. If you're looking for a place with good vibes, friendly service, and decent Mexican food at a fair price, this is a solid choice.
I'd definitely recommend trying the vegetarian chimichangas.

You're probably better off eating at Chipotle. Of all the items that we ordered, maybe shrimp quesadillas are the best. Burritos are meh, Mexican pizza so so, chicken nachos not quite. Friendly staff though!

The food was amazing especially Fajita (I’m I spelling right??) and the price is reasonable with the portions of the food. I will definitely come back.

Overrated

this is our favorite local Mexican food place and we get a lot of takeaway and we dine in some reasonably priced good food and they have a special everyday which changes every day which is really nice because it makes you simple their whole menu

I have been going to El Fresco for years and have been very happy with consistently good food. Don’t know if it was an off night but got home with my order and items did not contain everything it advertised in the description. Very disappointed.

I had the privilege of meeting Jessica (hope I spelled it right) in Chantilly, Virginia, and I can say without hesitation that she is one of the most remarkable people I've ever encountered. From the moment we met, her warmth and genuine nature immediately stood out. Jessica has a unique ability to make you feel comfortable and valued in any conversation. She listens with intent, speaks with kindness, and offers a perspective that is both insightful and refreshing.

Her intelligence is matched only by her generosity of spirit. She has a thoughtful and engaging energy to every interaction.
She’s someone who embraces her own journey and is unafraid to show vulnerability, which only deepens her connection with those lucky enough to know her.

In short, meeting Jessica in Chantilly was a reminder of the power of genuine human connection. She’s the kind of person who leaves a lasting impression on your heart, and I feel fortunate to have crossed paths with her.

Delivery through Uber. Excellent fresh and tasty food. Well packaged. Great presentation. Best Mexican we've had in a long time.

Not bad, but super overpriced. We were taken advantage of when we ordered margaritas. They were $6 bucks & ended up being charged $13.. for a margarita in a glass glass & a shot of tasteless patron. Ridiculous.

The Plato De Pescado and Vegetarian Mexican Pizza are delicious!

Update - August 2024: I got the fish taco platter, and it says it comes with chipotle sour cream. When I was given my food, it looked like there was no sour cream. I asked if it comes with sour cream, and I was told yes. The tacos were unbelievably dry, and they didn't taste like they had sour cream.
