14 Best Mexican Restaurants in Fairfax

“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 👍👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“This place is kind of small hole in the wall. Seats about 14 or so outside and not many more people inside. Nice menu that's not too large or too small. Some Tex-Mex menus have way too many choices. The starter tortilla chips and salsa were top notch. Service all around was excellent. I had the Chicken Chimichanga and it was one of the best I've ever had. It came with rice and refried beans as well as pico, sour cream, guacamole, and lettuce. Everything was delicious, cooked perfectly, and reasonably priced. The presentation was great as well Can't wait to come back.“

“Great food, don’t like that I cannot see my order at checkout and am just told what i owe. I like to see the itemization.“

“This place has classic tacos. Very old school looking. Quite a classic space. Not loud. Lots of long time customers who suggested the famous crispy tacos ! Cooked order to serve. I will def be coming back. The entire family
Loved it“

“Excelente comida y atención“

“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 💯“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“Went tonight. Am a Texan who used to go to the original back in the early 1990s on Barton Springs. I was impressed. Got the combo fajitas, where were very good especially for the price. A lot of meat (I asked for only meat and cheese). Service was excellent, inside was very nice. I had low expectations as the one by me in Dallas sucked (and closed), but this was solid. Peer to Guapo's which I like, but had more meat for about the same price. Expect I will go back. Thanks.“

“Deliciosa Comida…! Mi Comida Favorita 🤩 Los Tacos de Teipa y de Lengua…! Deliciosa…!“

“I had such a positive experience at Chipotle Mexican Grill thanks to Mark, who was truly amazing. He prepared the food with so much care and mindfulness, and you could tell he genuinely took pride in his work. It was refreshing to see that level of intention and kindness these days. He was warm, patient, and respectful, and it honestly made the whole visit feel better. Simple moments like that really stand out and make a difference.“
