Worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had. As we entered, the crowd of about 8 staff standing around openly stared at the handicapped member of our party all the way to the table. The queso was served cool and was quite watery. The combo meals 2 of us ordered were inedible; the ground beef was like the lowest quality meat I’ve ever had the displeasure of putting into my mouth. My son managed to eat the stretchy tortillas from his meal, the remaining beef is what he couldn’t manage, even as a teen who’s always hungry. The beef was grisly and with an unpleasant flavor and texture. The chalupa, which was not described on the menu, was a tostada- crunchy corn tortilla with flavorless and watery refried beans on it covered in buckets of shredded lettuce. The cheese tasted like grated white American? It was unlike any Mexican cheese I’ve tried. The spinach quesadilla didn’t seem to have cheese in it (nor did the burrito or enchilada) but rather gobs of watery overcooked spinach alone. Upon returning to find our food uneaten, I did try to explain to the waitress that the meat seemed quite inedible, she threw her hands up and said “Maybe order something different next time”. I said I certainly agree but maybe she’d want to let the chef or manager know “Chef?!” she laughed out loud. They didn’t offer to take anything off the bill naturally. The restaurant itself was cold, as the booth behind us was seated the lady yelped “Ew god my seat is wet! I just sat in a puddle!” You can get better quality and ambience at Taco Bell for a quarter of the price so I’d steer clear of this place. I literally would have found more enjoyment in setting my $60 on fire to have avoided the abysmal experience entirely.

The food is very well prepared with fresh ingredients. Shrimp quesadillas had plenty of shrimp and soft shell chicken taco were great!

Me and my wife's first time here and the food was great! An unexpected surprise considering the usual restaurant experiences in Virginia (which is poor at best).Usually, by the time an order is brought out to your table in restaurants in this state it is warm at best with very little, if any, flavor.This food was hot! and bursting with seasoning and flavors that brought joy to the palate.

Our new favorite Mexican restaurant. Ate there in the past and think they must have a new cook as it was outstanding.

It says something when flies are buzzing around your head at your table. I ordered carnitas…they were not carnitas. The pork was boiled and tasted like it had been sitting around for days. My husband ordered the California burrito and it was luke warm. The chicken was dry. The refried beans were tasteless. It all tasted microwaved. The tortilla chips were not fresh and had no flavor. They were nice enough to take the carnitas off the bill and we left a huge tip because it was not the servers fault. We will never go back there.
