5 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants in Fairfax

“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.“

“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.“

“The staff here are incredibly kind and welcoming, which really made the experience pleasant. The food menu looks amazing and everything coming out of the kitchen looked delicious. The salteñas were great and definitely something I would order again.

The only thing that wasn’t for me were the alfajor cookies. They were very dense and had a bit too much caramel for my taste. Others may love them if you’re a big dulce de leche fan (which I am), but they were just a little heavy for me.

Overall though, the friendly staff and great salteñas made it worth the visit.“

“The staff here is prompt in taking orders and delivering your meals. The sauce bar is well furnished and clean for people to help themselves. The food is fresh at the right temperature ready to be consumed. There's plenty to choose from their selection if you have dietary preferences, do not fret. This venue is located right across from the movie theatre, a few other shops and eateries. There's plenty of parking in the front, on the side and the back of the lot. Check their hours before going because on rare occasions they may update them due to staffing changes.“
