Mandala night club and restaurant

Worst Dj, flautas were soggy and cold. Service was poor, the waitress was slow and she kept forgetting what we had ordered. First and last time for my husband and I to this place.

Guapos @ Fair Lakes is 100% better.

I have driven past this place probably 8000 times and I wish I had tried it sooner. I’ve been missing out!

I placed an online order early on a Tuesday for Pollo a la crema and some chips and guac. When I went to pick it up I found the place pretty quiet and it seemed like my order took the gentleman who greeted me by surprise.

No worries, he got right to it and I’m glad he did. My food was ready in 15 mins.

Everything was fresh and delicious. I don’t know how they packed so much flavor into those chicken breasts but wow they were incredible! Definitely worth trying something new! The salad was nice and crisp, the guacamole was the best I ever had. The chips could have used a little more salt but it’s easy enough to add salt at home.

Portions were generous enough that I have leftovers, though a little more rice would have been nice.

Overall this place is definitely a hidden gem and I plan to be back again soon! You should try it!

Service is absolutely horrible in the evening. Apparently, the waitresses and service girls are looking for a date rather than giving food and drinks to customers

I have been to the restaurant that was in this place before Mandala came along. For the longest time, Mandala seemed to be in construction/ renovation mode and it seemed to be more of a bar/ club when it opened. So, didn't think about going here for lunch. However, went there recently after checking the reviews and finding out that they are open in the day and serve lunch.

Went for lunch and the place was mostly empty. Interior is setup with more of a night club vibe, was spacious though. Perhaps, it works at night when this place transforms to a night club. There was no wait time and was seated promptly.

Ordered the chicken taco and Pollo a la planche. Wasn't expecting much, but was surprised at how good the chicken taco was. Three tacos per order and each taco had two soft tortillas. The flavoring seemed slightly low on salt but once you added the Verde salsa it was excellent! So good that I had there additional requests for for Verde salsa.

The chicken a la planche came with flavored chicken, vegetables, puppusa, frijoles, and rice. The chicken was well done and flavored right, the vegetables were also good. The frijoles were outstanding! Wasn't expecting the frijoles to upend the chicken, but it did.

Overall, it was a very positive experience. Frijoles and Verde salsa were outstanding, tacos were great and the main entree was good as well. Seemed somewhat on the pricey side eventhough it is in Manassas. Service could be improved.

Amazing service, food, and drinks! I had the pleasure of having Ilse as my server. She was attentive, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the menu. Can’t wait to be back and hopefully see Ilse there once again.

I loved this place! The food was nice and hot at 11pm?! That’s so rare at places like this. The drinks were amazing, the music was lit, the ambiance was fun. The drinks were delish.
I’m definitely coming back, my new place to go have fun!

This place is in a lousy location, and the decor is a bit dated, but if you want the best lunch you ever had, go here. I was blown away by how good the food was. Marybella was the bartender /server and she was the best!! Portion were big and presented in a very nice way. I will recommend this for anyone who wants f
Great Mexican food.

The food is very delicious, small but delicious dishes, the cocktails are small but very pleasant, except for the mule kick, a very strong flavor, you just have to be careful because they want to charge you a double tip, the %18 is already included and they want you to leave in cash. also
