Mexican Restaurants near Dulles

“Ive lived in the sterling area for most my life and its very difficult to find authentic mexican tacos.
Their al pastors, quesa tacos, el texano taco, and their churros are my favorites.
Pakos fresh mex is by far the best tex mex in the area, and definitely a must try.“

“I have not bee to a Taco Bell since college (over 15 years) and opted to go after the movies when I was at Dulles Town Center last. This Taco Bell sits in the food court between a pizza place and a Chinese place. The line was long but not as long as a week ago (previous time I tried to go). They only had one person on the register and two people make the food. The line moved slowly was people seemed to be at a loss as to what to get. I made my order quickly and waited less than five minutes for my food. I got two soft tacos (beef and steak). When I got home, I was a little concerned with the amount of meat in either of my tacos but was surprised at the amount they hid amongst the lettuce. They also put on an ample amount of cheese and the steak taco had sour cream in it. The steak was well cooked and the ground beef was well seasoned. Very happy I went back.“

“I usually don't do good reviews but this chipotle location deserve one, i go to this location 3 times a week, their costumer service always great ( smiles) , lines move quick, and fresh and good food!!! Always delicious!!! Thanks chipotle“

“First time here and food was amazing. Will definitely be my go to when in the area.“

“Tried the tortas and they were a bit lacking in meat, the places in manassas fill them up more. Nonetheless, it does have good flavor and the spicy sauce is bussin. Got a tamal as well but fell it was reheated in the microwave, the corners crusted, but they are flavorful. Haven’t tried the tacos yet, so will come back for them.“

“Last night was my husband’s and my first time dining here, and it truly left an impression. One of the first things we loved was the restaurant’s commitment to giving back to the community. As soon as you walk in, there’s a sign explaining how meals are donated to local women’s shelters and how guests and staff can pay it forward by purchasing meals for those in need. Anyone facing a tough time can simply take a ticket from the wall for a prepaid meal such a thoughtful and meaningful concept.

Our server was absolutely phenomenal (I wish I remembered her name! -- She had long red wavy hair). She took the time to walk us through the menu, shared her personal favorites, and recommended several must-try tacos. Let me just say… she did not miss!

Every single bite was bursting with flavor. We tried the birria, Havana, Rus & Gus, and Peruvian chicken tacos, along with the street corn salad and veggies on the side and everything was incredible. From the food to the service to the heart behind the restaurant, this place checks all the boxes.

Safe to say we’ve found a new favorite spot and will absolutely be back.“

“Es uno de los mejores restaurantes de la zona de Manassas park la comida es deliciosa y la atención es de la mejor 👍👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“The food was great! Second time dining here and it definitely won’t be my last! 👌“

“First time seeing this place, but I knew what I wanted immediately. Loaded fresh birria tacos, the most satisfying in northern Virginia. Ask for hot sauce upgrades! I didn't dip these because they seem perfect as served. Get some tres leches to soothe the sizzle.“

“This is such a great Mexican restaurant in South Riding and also family owned. The prices are great and portions large. Salsa is amazing! That is one thing that keeps me coming back. The only thing I’d work on is better crafted margaritas. They have the frozen in the machine that are OK.“

“I've been eating their tacos for years from their ghost kitchen location in Chefscape, and I'm so excited they have their own place now! The food easily held up to my rosy memories from the old location, and the drinks are a wonderful addition!“

“We went and really enjoyed the food…“

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

“Amazing tacos! Friendly employees and owners. Makes you feel like family. I had fish and shrimp tacos, husband had Pastor tacos and said they are the best he’s had (and we are taco people)!! Definitely recommend! We will be back 💯“

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

“Great food. Great service. Great pricing. You can even watch them cook the food if you want.“

“The atmosphere rating is the energy over the phone.. Customer service was TOP TIER!! I ordered food for my daughters basketball team before the game and they LOVED the food.. It was a last minute request and El Fresco Tex Mex was able to deliver AND ON TIME might I add. Thank you to the driver as well I left a note to get a call before he made the delivery to ensure someone would be there, it feels great when you can sit back as a mom and relax knowing the food portion is being taken care of. I ordered Tacos Tacos y mas Tacos, Quesadillas and Queso with chips.“

“Sangria is so so good. Salsa is fresh & flavorful. I recommend the chile relleno, seafood enchilada, beef fajitas. You won’t regret a meal here - friendly, attentive service.“

“A happy place with fun Latin music and good food. We like to bring visitors for the atmosphere and great service.“

“This place was highly recommended by some friends. But when we tried it, the server couldn’t explain well the difference among some of the choices. The tacos we had were mediocre I felt, the portion size of the fish was really small. We may try different kinds next time to see if our review on this spot could be improved.“

“Stopped in for lunch for a quesadilla. Got the adobo chicken. Huge quesadilla very flavorful cheese was top knock. However, was very greasy. Got it to go so I don’t know if that contributed to it. Staff was friend friendly wait took a little longer than I would’ve thought for a quesadilla.“

“My wife and I were here with our five kids today. We love this place - terrific food, great service, prices are high, but not above competition. We enjoy coming here every few weeks. But if Spanberger and her cohort in Richmond pass the insane slew of new taxes (and Fairfax County follows suit, as they often do) then this great restaurant (and pretty much all others) will lose our business, for sure, in protest. When my fellow Virginians start voting smarter we'll be able to visit establishments like this again.“

“the best Mexican food in the area...I will never changed for another one. the service is very friendly and make our experience very pleasant. thanks 😊“

“We are from out of town and stopped by Tuesday night for some karaoke! Everyone was so friendly and the food & service was great! I hope we get a chance to return to this location for not only karaoke but great food! Well done!“

“We were looking for a way to get dinner for 4 takeout for less than$10/pp tonight and my husband suggested this restaurant after just discovering it earlier this week. This is a cheap eating gem! We will absolutely be back.“

“Se ve delicioso todo si como se ve sabe ,pues entonces quiero probar todos los platillos ...“

“This was the first time I have eaten here. OMG! The Anitarita is to die for!!!! The food was delicious and well presented. We will definitely be returning!“

“I picked up delivery 15 minutes before they closed, after a 5 hour drive in the dark. The burrito and enchiladas we split were delicious!
My husband and I will be back to eat in the restaurant and experience the atmosphere; as well as the 10/10 food!“

“Good food and drinks. Manager came to our table to make sure everything was good.“

“Great little market with delicious food. The chicken in my burrito was mouthwatering. My only complaint is that all the rice and other filling were only on one half of the burrito but it was still delicious. You’ll wait a little bit for the food but it’s fresh and tasty.“

“Best Mexican food in town. Breakfast is the BOMB!“

“We went for the Tuesday 2 pm - close special where you buy a bowl or burrito and large drink and get a burrito free. We tried the citrus lime shrimp. It was so tasty and generous! I love all the fresh, flavorful choices you can add--especially that guac and sour cream are included in the price.“

“Just had the most amazing tacos at Taki Tacos! The flavors were spot-on and totally authentic—felt like a trip to Mexico. Plus, the service was super fast, so I didn’t have to wait long to dig in. Definitely my new go-to spot for tacos!“

“First time seeing this place, but I knew what I wanted immediately. Loaded fresh birria tacos, the most satisfying in northern Virginia. Ask for hot sauce upgrades! I didn't dip these because they seem perfect as served. Get some tres leches to soothe the sizzle.“

“Best tacos, so delicious!!! Nice place together with Crooked Run Brewery and Nectar👌“

“best Mexican food in NVA and the staff is super friendly. Really enjoyed the entire experience and will be back.“

“Karaoke Nights!!! Chorizo!! Great food! Fun staff!“

“Thanks Kelly our server at Anita's Restaurant for your friendly service and delicious dessert. From the Chilean family.“

“I placed an online order for a chicken quesadilla and I selected the chile sauce by mistake. I came back and asked if I could get another one without the sauce since I included it by mistake. Christopher was so kind and he immediately made a new one for me for free and he even included a side of that sauce just in case I wanted to try a little bit. I am super happy with the amazing customer service and the kind and attentive attitude from Christopher. Thanks very much and of course Great food!!“

“healthy food and good taste 😍“

“covid-19 friendly and quality food“

“Classic spot, decorations haven’t been updated since the 80s, but the recipes are good and the service is great. Classic Mexican American tacos and enchiladas with a great price. This is the last OG tippys tacos left as the one that is at another location has changed names and ownership.“

“My daughter keeps asking when we can go back all the time.“

“I've been coming here every Tuesday evening with my family for almost 20 years. We park our car a half mile away and make the ritualistic hike into the boggy mosquito infested marshy stream that is Elkick Run. The only time we've ever missed a single weekly session was once when I was briefly a POW in Afgan.

I've never had any complaints. Until this last Tuesday. When we ordered our platter of 55 tacos, and what we were served could hardly be seen to be believed. These tacos are so small. I weep for the past.

I have attached a picture of the tacos next to my cat in the dining area for scale. Look at how small these tacos are. The tacos are right next to my cat. You can't even see them! 🥺🥺🥺“

“Good is always good and great service“

“I stumbled upon this p-lace when I was poking around on TripAdvisor. I had never had Salvadoran food before, but ask my dad what he thought of pupusas. He said he loved them, so I thought I would give them a try. After a long day at work, I swung by and they were empty (too late for lunch and a tad early for dinner). I walked right up to the counter and got my to-go order. I got three pupusas and they were ready in ten minutes. The plain cheese one was fantastic and super gooey. The pork one was by far my favorite with a nice mix of meat and cheese. The bean one was my least favorite as it was a tad dry. The pupusas themselves were definitely hand made and were bigger than I expected. I kind of just wish I had gotten two of them as three just made me so full. But I could not stop eating...“

“Barbacoa and chicken Tacos... Yum!!!!! Staff is very knowledgeable. Prices are reasonable. Would definitely eat it again!“

“Perfecto los amigos Vn compte con tus amigos“
